JOURNALISTIC INFLUENCE OF WRITING ON THE GILDED AGE A TIMELINE OF AMERICAN LITERATURE
Authors: Guarneri Dr. Cristina
Published: April 2023

The themes found in the writings by authors during the Gilded Age are still prevalent in writings of the twenty-first century. The Gilded Age, a term used to describe a period of economic boom after the American Civil War at the turn of the century, have influenced communication to readers by using the ethos unearthed by writers who were opposed to a particular politician and their policies. Newspaper writing played a crucial role in exposing scandals, the pathos of the American Dream, and the logos or persuasion by using the trials of society. Writing was a powerful tool of communication during the Gilded Age that allowed writers to target events during this era. Newspaper writing was important to communicate prominent issues to the public, as writing upheld ideals to question government and to keep it accountable. However, the Gilded Age writings helped to permanently etch in the minds of readers the importance of themes that were prevalent post-Civil War that impacted the writing and writers of American Literature.

Authors: Kavya Ch.
Published: April 2023

Teaching English to the students of urban and rural areas is like offering bread and butter for breakfast to a common man who is accustomed to taking a porridge in the morning. The proficiency level in English, of learners in rural areas, is terribly low. A mini survey has been carried out among students to test their English language-acquiring skills like speaking, reading, writing, comprehending and so on. The study investigated the rationale for students’ poor performance in the English Language. Suitable recommendations were made for further improvement of students’ performance in English Language, based on the research.
Towards Motivating Machines
Authors:   , Taj Fawad
Published: April 2023

When Desiderius Erasmus said, “Prevention is better than cure,” the technologies to measure health and behavior data at any time were not omnipresent. Now, when those technologies are available, they are not fully utilized to influence human health behavior for preventing chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are the main threat to global health, with non-communicable diseases responsible for about two-thirds of deaths worldwide. Overcoming unhealthy behaviors like smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, etc., can reduce the risk of developing a chronic disease and increase the likelihood of a healthy life.
Understanding and changing human behavior using digital technologies is complicated because many individual, societal, and policy factors are involved. Several theories and models explain the underlying processes of human behavior change. Still, new or updating of existing models are required to utilize the potential of modern technologies that can collect data at very detailed levels. More complex models can then be used for effective and intelligent systems that decide when, where, and how to intervene.
Towards advancing the models and theories of human health behavior change, this thesis first provides a thorough insight into digital health behavior change research through bibliometric and scoping review. Second, it presents computational models of underlying determinants and processes of human behavior change based on cognitive, neuro, and behavioral sciences knowledge. For instance, how motivation is generated and regulated and how appraisal components work in an emotional episode. Lastly, it investigates the added value of using a computational model of the targeted determinants, e.g., a model of motivation as a mechanism of action in a digital health intervention. A proof of concept called MoM: Motivation to Move was designed as a digital health intervention to demonstrate its feasibility. A two-arm single-blinded study was conducted, and a special mobile app was developed to deliver an intervention. The model-based intervention has more encouraging results than the control group in personalization and efficacy.
This thesis substantially contributes to the digital health behavior change field by identifying gaps, trends, and advancements in developing dynamic computational models and theories to define when and where behavioral change strategies would work effectively.
Аналіз показників міграції населення: внутрішня та зовнішня
Authors: Токар В. М. , Гбур З. В.
Published: April 2023

У статті проаналізовано специфіку виникнення міграційних процесів та основні причини їх виникнення. Проведено аналіз термінологічних визначень понять «міграція», «зовнішня міграція», «внутрішня міграція». Встановлено, що міграція населення є природним процесом, який не завжди зумовлений виключно негативними явищами, хоча його активізація в рамках національної економічної системи зумовлена переважно негативними факторами впливу. Проаналізовано динаміку міграційних процесів в Україні та графічно представлено міграційний рух населення у 2002-2021 рр. Проведено теоретичний аналіз міждержавної та внутрішньої міграції у 2022 році, спричиненої російсько-українською війною. Наведено дані щодо міждержавних міграцій у 2002-2022 роках, які свідчать про значне уповільнення у 2015-2017 роках порівняно з попередніми роками та зростання у 2018 та 2019 роках. Визначено, що до пандемії 2020 року активно відбувалась трудова міграція, а більшість країн (переважно європейських) створювали умови для залучення робочої сили з України, то з початком пандемії ситуація докорінно змінилася. Окрім пандемії, на міграційні процеси суттєво вплинули: військові дії в Україні, падіння рівня життя населення та нерівномірність соціально-економічного розвитку регіонів. Міграційні процеси є невід’ємною частиною соціально-економічного розвитку кожної європейської країни. Інтенсивність міграції населення залежить не тільки від економічних факторів, але в багатьох випадках викликана непередбаченими обставинами. Стан міграційних процесів в Україні суттєво залежить від коливань рівня життя населення та інтенсивності збройного конфлікту на території нашої країни. У статті звертається увага на міграційні процеси в Україні та за її межами, спричинені сучасною гарячою фазою восьмирічної російсько-української війни. Досліджено прямий негативний вплив цього явища на демографічну ситуацію в Україні. Досліджується специфіка вимушених міграцій в надзвичайних умовах цієї війни: кількісні показники мігрантів та емігрантів, вік і стать у розрізі суб’єктності, напрямки слідування мігрантів всередині України та емігрантів за її межами, проблеми, з якими стикаються мігранти в країні та за кордоном.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hepatocytes are considered valuable candidates for cell-based therapy. The use of free zoonotic media, as purified platelets derived growth factors (L-GF) and human platelet lysate (hPL), instead of using fetal bovine serum (FBS) to support the growth and proliferation of these cells could be used as a promising therapeutic tool in hepatic regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate the usage of purified platelet derived growth factors and platelet lysate in both MSCs and hepatocyte cultures and to compare them with the usage of FBS. MSCs and hepatocytes were cultured in growth media supplemented with L-GF or hPL and compared them to their culture in growth media supplemented with FBS. Cells were subjected to population doubling (PD) and generation time (GT) calculations. The best result for MSCs was that obtained by using 10% hPL or 10% FBS with the highest cell count, highest viability and shortest incubation time needed to reach confluency compared to supplementation with 10%, 20% or 30% L-GF. As for hepatocyte culture, the use of 10% FBS for supplementation of media used for hepatic cell proliferation showed better performance regarding cell count, viability, and incubation time to reach confluency compared to the use of either hPL or L-GF. In conclusion, our study showed that 10% hPL had the best results in MSCs culture which suggests that hPL could be a better alternative for the development of xenofree stem cell culture that can be used for many clinical applications. On the other hand, 10% FBS showed the best results in hepatocyte culture.

This study planned to compare the predictive ability of maternal urinary vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) versus N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) for prediction of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). This was a prospective case-control study carried out in a tertiary university hospital. It included pregnant women between 37-39 weeks. The study included 50 pregnant women classified in two groups. Group (Ι, n=25) were pregnant women with PAS, and group (II, n=25) women with uncomplicated pregnancies, as controls. Urine samples were collected, and quantitative analyses of VEGF and NT-pro BNP were performed by ELISA. VEGF was assessed with a cut point of 215.6 pg/ml and NT-pro BNP with a cut point of 182.2 pg/ml to predict the condition of PAS. Both biomarkers were good predictors of PAS with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) equal to (0.871 and 0.904), respectively. However, maternal urinary VEGF levels could predict PAS better than NT-pro BNP (OR=9.967, 95%CI 2.032–48.879, p=0.005) versus (OR=8.066, 95% CI 1.520 – 42.811, p=0.014) in NT-pro BNP. In conclusion, third trimester urinary levels of both VEGF and NT-pro BNP appear to be s crucially good predictors for PAS. However, VEGF is superior to NT-pro BNP in predicting women with PAS. These biomarkers present promising candidates as they can help to detect patients at high probability of PAS. They can be assessed by non-invasive, simple, and low-cost procedures.
COMTOG Report on ‘Bury Me My Love’

Bury Me My Love is a game about distance. It is a game which places front and center relationships between humans, how they interact, and what drives people to take a leap into the unknown and risk their lives in the hope of reaching safety. The eponymous phrase, ‘Bury Me My Love,’ is an Arabic expression to take care roughly meant to signify, “don’t think about dying before I do.” The game is inspired by but does not tell, the real-life story of Dana, a Syrian woman having left her country in September 2015.

Models for the Cyclic Resistance of Silts and Evaluation of Cyclic Failure during Subduction Zone Earthquakes
Authors: Stuedlein Armin , Dadashiserej Ali , Jana Amalesh
Published: April 2023

This report describes several advances in the cyclic failure assessment of silt soils with immediate and practical benefit to the geotechnical earthquake engineering profession. First, a database of cyclic loading test data is assembled, evaluated, and used to assess trends in the curvature of the CRR-N (cyclic resistance ratio - the number of equivalent cycles) relationship. This effort culminated in a plasticity index-dependent function which can be used to estimate the exponent b in the power law describing cyclic resistance, and may be used to estimate the cyclic resistance of silt soils as well as the number of equivalent loading cycles anticipated for subduction zone earthquakes. Statistical models for the cyclic resistance ratio and cyclic strength ratio are presented in this report. The SHANSEP (Stress History and Normalized Soil Engineering Properties)-inspired functional form of these models have been trained and tested against independent datasets and finalized using a combined dataset to provide reasonable estimates of resistance based on the available data. These models can be used to provide provisional estimates of the CRR-N and cyclic strength ratio power laws for cyclic shear strain failure criteria ranging from 1 to 10%, within certain stated limitations. The ground motion records within the NGA Subduction Project which have been released to the public to-date are implemented to examine the role of subduction zone earthquake characteristics on the number of equivalent loading cycles for a wide range of soils with exponents b ranging from 0.05 (moderate plasticity silt and clay) to 0.35 (dense sand). This analysis shows that the number of loading cycles for a given magnitude subduction zone earthquake is larger than those previously computed, whereas the corresponding magnitude scaling factors for use with the Simplified Method span a smaller range as a result of the ground motion characteristics. Owing to the large variability in the computed equivalent number of loading cycles, consideration of the uncertainty is emphasized in forward analyses. The work described herein may be used to estimate cyclic resistance of intact non-plastic and plastic silt soils and corresponding factor of safety against cyclic failure for a range in cyclic shear strain failure criteria, to plan cyclic laboratory testing programs, and to calibrate models for use in site response and nonlinear deformation analyses in the absence of site-specific cyclic test data. As with any empirical approach, the models presented herein should be revised when additional, high-quality cyclic testing data become available.
ESKİ TÜRKÇEDE SORU EKİ

Published: April 2023

İnsanı diğer canlılardan ayıran düşünme yetisi beraberinde birçok duygunun oluşmasını sağlar. Herhangi bir durumun anlamlandırılması amacına hizmet eden bir duygu da hiç şüphesiz sorgulama güdüsüyle oluşum gösterir. İnsanlık tarihinde pek çok gelişimin temelinde yer alarak anlama çabasına hizmet eden bu güdünün temelinde yatan keşfetme duygusu yani merak duygusu, hatta öyle ki bilimlerin varlığını da oluşturan en önemli olgulardan biri olarak cevaplama olgusunun değil soru sorma olgusunun önemini artırmıştır. Hayvanlarda da görülen merak etme duygusu içgüdüsel olması yönüyle insanlarda bulunandan farklılık gösterir. Merak duygusunun bilinçli olarak eyleme dönüştüğü sorarak öğrenme, pek çok alanda mühim bir öneme sahip olmuştur. Bu alanların başında gelen bir alan da hiç şüphesiz dil bilgisi olmuştur. Sorgulamanın, vurgu yoluyla da sağlandığı bir yapıyı bir kenara koyduğumuzda görmekteyiz ki sorgulama unsuru, kelime ve ek ile sağlanmaktadır. Çalışmaların, çoğunlukla münferit bir anlam unsurunu barındıran kelime yoluyla gerçekleştirilip bir görev unsuru olan ek merkezli ele alınmaya dair mevcut çalışmaların azlığı çalışma konusunu etkilemiştir. Soru eki, Türk dilinin ekleşme dizisinde yer alarak ekleşme kültürü içerisinde ayrı bir kimlik kazanmıştır. Soru ekinin geleneksel dilcilik faaliyetlerinde farklı bir kategoride ele alınmış olması, işlevleri üzerine bulunan çalışmaların azlığı, imla hususu ve benzeri sebepler çalışmanın ortaya çıkmasında etken olmuştur. Çalışmamızın odak noktası, soru ekinin kategorik açıdan durumu ve işlevleri açısından tespit edilerek gerçekleştirilmiştir. Soru ekinin kategorik açıdan durumu, alanda temel başvuru kaynağı olan mevcut çalışmalar incelenerek ele alınmış ve nihayetinde de Türk dilinin ek sınıflandırılmasındaki yeri tespit edilerek ele alınmıştır. İşlevleri tespit edilen soru eki, Eski Türkçe döneminde yer alan çeşitli eserler kaynak alınarak işlev odaklı bakış açısıyla temel işlev ve alt işlev ilişkisi göz önünde bulundurularak değerlendirilmiştir. Ekin şekline dair kısımda soru ekinin +mU morfemi dışında da görev kategorisinde “+Ø” damga morfem ile sağlandığı görülür. Soru ekinin işlevi, çalışmanın anlaşılırlığı amacıyla ilgili her bir şivede ayrı ayrı ele alınarak mukayese edilmiş ve tablolar ile somutlaştırılmıştır. Sonuç itibariyle hem dönemler hem de tek tek eserler bazında bakıldığında soru ekinin alt işlevleri ile kullanım sıklıkları ortaya konularak insanın en temel ihtiyaçlarından biri olan “merak” duygusunu gidermek için başvurduğu soru sorma kabiliyetinin o dönem Türkçesindeki yeri gözler önüne serilmeye çalışılacaktır.

Authors: ÇELİK Anıl
Published: April 2023

Bu çalışma, klarnet öğretiminde karşılaşılan “La-Si-Do” seslerinin kolay ve rahat çıkmasını sağlayan altı çalışma önerisi ve iki eser çalışması hazırlanarak ortaya konmuştur. Çalışma da bahsi geçen notaların seçilmesindeki en büyük etkenlerden biri klarneti üflediğimizde doğru ve düzgün olmayan seslerin ortaya çıkmasıdır. Alttan çıkan kalın sesin (doğru olmayan ses) düzeltilebilmesi için bu çalışmanın gerekli olduğu düşünülmüştür. Özellikle seslere yeni başlayan kişiler bu sesleri halletmeden bir sonraki oktavdaki seslere geçmesi oldukça zor olacaktır. Her çalışma önerisi, bir sonraki aşamayı da hazırlayıp genel tekrarlarla pekiştirilmesi amaç edinilmiştir. Sesleri temizlemek ve doğru entonasyonda çıkışını sağlayabilmek için seslere uygun çalışma önerisi, etüt ve egzersiz yapmanın çözümü kolaylaştıracağı saptanmıştır. Çalışma önerilerini de yaparken, kişi ya da kişilerin yazılan eserleri çalışırken daha rahat çaldığını ve seslerin daha temiz olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu çalışma da amaç istenen notaların daha kısa zamanda daha verimli, doğru ve çözüm odaklı olmasıdır. “La-Si-Do” seslerini çözümlerken aynı zamanda nüans-tını ve ton kontrolünü sağlamak adına nüans farklarının ayrımını da belirgin bir şekilde yapılması istenmiştir. Böylelikle sadece belirtilen sesleri halletmenin yanı sıra tiz seslerdeki ton kontrolü de sağlanmış olacaktır. Beynin birkaç noktada düşünmesini hedefleyerek oto kontrol sisteminin sadece “La-Si-Do” seslerini değil aynı zamanda bir bütün halinde ( pasaj-ton-nüans- entonasyon - artikülasyon vb.) incelenmesi de hedeflenmiştir. Makalede belirtilen seslerde sorun yaşayan ve yaşayacak olan kişi ya da kişilerin izlemesi gereken çalışma önerileri etüt ile zenginleştirilecek biçimde tasarlanmıştır. Etüt, eser, sonat ve konçerto vb. çalışmalarında yol haritası doğru bir şekilde ve rutin olarak tekrarlandığında “La-Si-Do” seslerinde sorun yaşanmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
THOMAS FAİRMAN ORDİSH KOLEKSİYONUNDAKİ İNGİLİZ SEYİRLİK OYUNLARINDA TÜRK İMAJI
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Yücel
Published: April 2023

Folklorik fenomenler, toplulukların kendine ait kültürel ekolojik sistemlerinde ifade biçimine dönüşür. Böylece kolektif zihinsel içerikler olgu-nesne düzlemine iner ve sembolleşir. Halk seyirliklerinde (Folk drama) bu tür içeriklerin ifadesi gözlenebilmektedir. İnsanın doğa ile etkileşim deneyiminin tarihsel kolektif ifadesi zaman akışıyla buluşur ve anlama dönüşür. Köy seyirlik oyunları özelinde tüm zihinsel içerikler doğa ile olan deneyimi kapsar. Bu seyirlik oyunların içerikleri doğanın taklitsel temsili ile ifade edilir. İnsanın doğa ile etkileşiminin içkin estetik boyutu ile insanın insanla olan etkileşiminin sosyolojik boyutu folklor ekolojisinde organik bir bağ ile performans bağlamında seyirlik oyunlarının içeriğini oluşturmaktadır. Bu organik bağ ritüel bellek aracılığıyla yaşayan toplumun belleği ile bütünleşerek seyirlik oyunların içeriğine bütüncül bakış açısı kazandırır. Bu açıdan İngiliz köy seyirlik oyunlarına bütüncül bakıldığında doğa ile olan ritüelistik etkileşimi hem ulusal ayırt edici biçimleri hem de tarihsel süreçte ulusların birbirleri ile olan etkileşimini görmek kaçınılmazdır. Öyle ki İngiliz seyirlik oyunlarında Türk ve İngiliz tarihsel etkileşiminin izleri bu çalışmada bir bulgu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu noktada İngiliz folklor araştırmacı Thomas Fairman Ordish’in seyirlik oyunlar üzerine olan koleksiyonu dikkate değer veriler sunmaktadır. Thomas Fairman Ordish (1855-1924) İngiliz folklor derlemecisidir. 1886 yılında İngiliz Folklor Derneğinin üyesi olarak seçilmiştir. Halkbilimi çalışma kadrolarından ilgi alanını, halk seyirliği (Folk Drama) oluşturmaktadır. Ordish’in yaptığı derlemeler İngiliz mamırları (Mummers) geleneği odağında olmuştur. İngiliz kültür sahasında yaşayan seyirlik oyunlar mamır (Mummers) terimi ile halk yaşamında tanımlanmaktadır. Bununla beraber İngiliz mamırları “Barbarlık”, “Hıristiyanlık”, “Müslümanlık” ve “Şövalyelik” gibi birçok sosyal olguya, siyasal olaya, kültürler arası etkileşimlere bağlı olarak içeriklerini oluşturmuş ve biçimlenmiştir, denilebilir. Oyun metinlerinden anlaşıldığı üzere Avrupa’daki ülkelerin birbirleriyle olan tarihsel ilişkileri yerel kültürel bellekte yaşamaktadır. Özellikle Ortaçağ dinsel düşünce temelleri üzerine kurulan siyasal ilişkilerin, yerel kültürlerin belleğinde dinsel dışlayıcılık ve kapsayıcılık bağlamında yarattığı unsurların varlığı söz konusudur. Bununla beraber mamır oyunlarında Türk Şövalyesi (Turkish Knight) tipi vardır. Türk Şövalyesi tipi üzerinden yaratılan “öteki”yi veya Avrupa’daki Türk imgesini görmek de mümkündür. Bu makalenin giriş kısmında İngiliz folklor araştırmalarında Thomas Fairman Ordish’in yeri ortaya konulmuştur. Ordish’in seyirlik oyunları koleksiyonunda derlenen oyunlar arasında bulunan ölüp-dirilme motifli Kahraman-Savaş oyunundaki Türk Şövalyesi tipi üzerine bulgular tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgulardan hareketle Batı’da yaratılan Türk imajının seyirlik oyunlara yansıyışı halkbilimsel açıdan ele alınmıştır.

Baby on the Web and Baby on the Web 2.0 information about science projects on the use of digital devices by young children
Authors: Rowicka Magdalena
Published: April 2023

The use of digital devices by children up to the age of six is controversial due to inconclusive research showing a positive, neutral or negative link to the development of young children. More and more studies point not to the mere fact of use but to the manner of use (age of initiation, time, content, etc.) as factors responsible for the positive or negative impact on the development of the child. In 2020 and 2022, two research projects were carried out: Toddler caught in the web the use of digital devices by children aged 06 years and Toddler caught in the web 2.0 the use of mobile devices by children aged 46 and selected cognitive functions. The aim of the projects was to thoroughly determine how children in Poland use digital devices, as well as whether, and if so, how various aspects of use translate into cognitive functioning (memory, attention and behavioural inhibition controls). The results of both projects may have an impact on mental health promotion and prevention some of the results have already been used in the educational campaign addressed to parents and carers of pre-school children First steps in the cyberworld.

Published: April 2023

Teaching Factory is a learning model that can be adopted in the Agro-Eco-Edu-Tourism (AEET) program. The learning model products in Teaching Factory are soap and hand sanitizer. The study's results reported that hand washing soap with the addition of Moringa leaf extract could inhibit the growth of  Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria that cause diarrheal disease. Diarrheal disease is still a public health problem in developing countries such as Indonesia because of its high morbidity and mortality. Diarrhea occurs due to the spreading S. aureus and E. coli bacteria, most often transmitted from hand to hand. Washing hands using soap and hand sanitizer is an activity that aims to remove dirt on hands.

Weeds disturb plants through competition or competition that occurs with cultivated plants. Weed competition can reduce crop production by up to 40%, as well as reduce seed quality. The amount of competition between weeds and plants is determined by the density of weeds, the length of time they grow with cultivated plants, and the type of weeds. Thus, it is necessary to increase productivity by considering the presence of weeds that can reduce production. On this basis, it is necessary to conduct research on the competition between cowpea and weeds using the replacement series method.
Replacement series is a method used to evaluate competition between species by studying interspecific and intraspecific interactions of plant combinations. This research was carried out in the greenhouse of SEAMEO BIOTROP July – September 2021. This study used a simple randomized block design with a single factor, namely the composition of weeds with 5 treatment levels, namely: P1: 100% weeds. , P2: 75% weeds + 25% cowpeas, P3: 50% weeds + 50% cowpeas, P4: 25% weeds + 75% cowpeas, and P5: 100% cowpeas. The observation parameters are growth parameters represented by plant height variables and yield parameters are represented by dry weight. The results showed that the increasing proportion of weeds was accompanied by a decrease in the dry weight of cowpea. Vice versa. Then, the results of plant height measurements show that the increasing proportion of weeds and plants will be accompanied by a decrease in the height of their competitors. The results of the analysis of RYT values showed that there was competition between weeds and cowpeas at the P3 treatment level: 50% weeds and 50% cowpeas. Meanwhile, in other proportions there is a negative interaction.

Exploring potential of goat based dairy farming in India and way forward
Authors: SINGH M K , SINGH S K , CHAUHAN M S
Published: April 2023

The aim of this review is to highlight the significance of goat milk along with potential and prospects of dairy goat development in the country. India occupies the first position in goat milk production in the world. In the last few years, commercial dairy goat production in India gained momentum due to spread of knowledge about therapeutic, nutraceutical and medicinal benefits of goat milk and its product, and their export potential. India possesses vast caprine resources with 37 goat breeds distributed in different bio-climates with varied nutritive value, however, some goat breeds native to north and north-western region namely Beetal, Jamunapari, Jakhrana, Surti and Zalawadi are considered as Indian dairy breed with 150 to 500 litre milk yields. The reported milk yield of Indian dairy goat is far below their potential, since they are primarily raised for mutton and also due to energy-deficient diet. Attempts so far made were scarce and limited for milk improvement of dairy goats and in creating infrastructure for goat milk processing and marketing. Use of potential sire/semen and infrastructural support for a secured market for goat milk and products is necessary to enhance dairy goat productivity and profitability. To cater the demand for goat milk in southern, eastern and hilly regions, suitable dairy breeds need to be developed along with increasing the genetic potential of existing breeds. Development of the goat dairy sector will require focused efforts to encourage entrepreneurship to set as many as possible commercial dairy farms by involving private sector through appropriate policy support and incentives.
The Imperishable Johann Sebastian: Universum
Authors:   Saratov State L. V. Sobinov Conservatory, Demchenko Alexander I.
Published: April 2023

The semantic space examined in the present article under the aegis of the philosophical term Universum signifies the world as a whole, i.e., the summation of all things existing in the world and in human beings and, in the broad sense of the word, is synonymous to the category of the Universe. Moreover, this German word is also connected with the concept of the universal and the all-encompassing, and both of these observed gradations are applicative to Johann Sebastian Bach’s artistic heritage. In truth, one can only be astounded by the inclusiveness of the artistic content presented in the immense corpus of music written by the composer expressing practically everything that is essential of what forms the image of the world and man, where the truly boundless diversity of all sorts of thoughts and observations, emotional manifestations and effectual inner states in their individual and mass interpretations are imprinted in sounds. The composer’s music abounds with the strongest contrasts, which are presented in all possible oppositions: fantasy vs. canon, the spiritual vs. the mundane, the massive vs. the personal, etc.

Published: April 2023

In this article the authors analyze the artistic elaboration by various composers of the Battle of Stalingrad as a decisive episode of history. Examination is made of the aspects of conceptual solutions, genre-related and stylistic features, the peculiarities of thematicism (included the derived variety), as well as dramaturgy. These questions are posed in connection with the material of music by Russian composers (in the first section) and those from other countries (in the second section). In the present issue of the journal (where the first section is presented) a broad panorama of works by composers pertaining to several generations from Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich to Sergei Slonimsky, Tikhon Khrennikov-junior and the composers from the city on the Volga. Along with well-known works, oeuvres which have not received scholarly elaboration have ended up being within the sphere of research attention. Characterization is given to images of interpretation of the theme in the various spheres of genre: the cantata-oratorio, theatrical, symphonic, etc. It is noted that despite all the differences of the artistic merits of the compositions, the semantics of the Stalingrad victory inherits the traditions and highest spiritual intentions of Russian culture — assertions of peacefulness as a philosophical-ethical conception of existence.

The Aspects and Problems of Musicology in the 21th Century in the Republic of Moldova
Authors:   Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts, Mironenko Elena S.
Published: April 2023

The author of the article highlights as the main issue the development of musicology in the former Soviet Republic of Moldova in the context of “cultural transfer” between Russia, Moldova and Romania. The solution to this is based on methods of historical comparative analysis, taking into consideration the transnational approach to the close-knit historical ties of Moldova, Russia and Romania. The analysis of inter-ethnical connections has conditioned the principle behind the drafting of this article, which combines a historical, chronological and geopolitical perspective. It is divided into two parts. The first part describes the development of professional musical culture in Moldova prior to its gaining independence in 1991, and consists of three time periods, including Moldova (Bessarabia) as part of the Russian Empire, Moldova as part of the Kingdom of Romania and the MSSR (the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic) as part of the USSR. The necessity for such an introduction is explained by the fact that prior to gaining independence Moldova experienced several waves of “cultural transfer,” which have anticipated the pressure points and aspects of musicology of the 21th century. The second part focuses on the development of musical scholarship in independent Moldova, which has had the opportunity to establish transnational ties with other countries. After the dissolution of the USSR, the radical metamorphosis of the country’s social and geopolitical structure was accentuated by issues caused by poverty and the change of the official language. At the same time, this part of the article provides an overview of music scholarship, covering the development of the musical education in higher educational institutions, on the example of the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, and its impact on the evolutionary process of musical scholarship through the activity of the graduates of the leading Russian higher education establishments — the Moscow State P. I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory and the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, as well as a brief description of the founders of these schools of musicology. Concurrently, a process of “cultural transfer” with Romanian musicology experts and composers has taken place, and the beneficial influence of the latter on the development of professional education and musicology in Moldova is also examined.
Emotions as a Phenomenon of Vocal and Opera Music
Authors:   Far Eastern State Institute of Arts, Kostyuk Aleksei A. , Alekseeva Galina V. ,   Far Eastern State Institute of Arts
Published: April 2023

The article examines the phenomenon of emotions as one of the leading patterns of creation of the vocal score of the singer-actor, the communicative intermediary between the composer, the librettist, the singer-actor and the listener-viewer. Opera as a synthetic art unites together music, poetry, production, scenography, the art of face-paint and costumes. By means of melody, its rhythmical and intonational texture builds up and ciphers those emotions which the singer must arouse from the listener-viewer. Frequently composers in the piano-vocal scores of their operas have provided descriptions of the stage settings, as well as nuances of stage motion and plastic, in order to bring out emotional colors to a greater degree by means of pantomime. In such situations it is important to research the means of operatic expression not merely from the point of view of musicology or theater studies. The phenomenon of opera requires study in a direct connection with psychology, physiology and sociology of culture. The authors of the article update the concept of the emotional score of the vocal parts of the operatic composition presenting a completed form from the positions of psycho-physiology of emotions and emphasizing the importance of its examination. The vocal part of Herman from Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades is chosen as the object of studies.
