Investigating the life cycle of language learning applications: Going beyond the Hype Cycle
Authors: Huang Wenzheng
Published: February 2024

As learning is more real and permanent when connected to learners’ private lives beyond the classroom (Godwin-Jones, 2011), mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has emerged as a good way to support language learning especially in informal contexts. With thousands of language learning applications (apps) becoming available, more and more language learners have started to use them as a support for their language learning. The purpose of this research is to investigate the life cycle of language learning apps and the reasons why learners decide to start, stop and restart using apps to better understand the real situation of the use of the apps. The data collected from a survey of 186 participants with experience of using language learning apps were analyzed. The results showed that the language learning app has three different phases in its life cycle, which are “increasing period”, “decreasing period” and “reviving period” with three turning points. This life cycle is similar to the Hype Cycle, a model describing how a new technology develops. Furthermore, the reasons behind the three turning points were also discussed. Influence from teachers and friends was the most significant one among factors contributing to starting using apps; the reasons for abandoning apps can be divided into app-related ones such as dissatisfaction of apps and learner-related ones such as stop learning a language; restarting to learn a language is the major reason for participants who chose to use apps again. The results also revealed that language learners had a positive attitude towards language learning apps, while the high abandoned rate of using apps also indicated that both apps and learning patterns could be improved if teachers can provide more sufficient and appropriate guidance to support the selection and use of apps, and app-designers can include more meaningful and interactive activities rather than just providing drills.

Published: February 2024

Ikan berkumpul di lokasi penangkapan bagan dengan berbagai tujuan. Beberapa peneliti menunjukan bahwa salah satu alasan ikan berkumpul di lokasi penangkapan bagan untuk melakukan pemangsaan. Salah satu alasan ikan berkumpul di sekitar bagan adalah pemangsaan. Waktu pemangsaan tiap spesies berbeda, sehingga keberadaan tiap spesies di lokasi penangkapan akan berbeda. Pada penangkapan ikan dengan bagan apung, nelayan akan melakukan kegiatan hauling pada saat ikan telah banyak berkumpul di lokasi penangkapan. Oleh karena itu penulis tertarik untuk mengungkap aktifitas hauling yang berbeda terhadap hasil tangkapan bagan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk menetukan bobot ikan yang tertangkap, jenis ikan yang tertangkap, sebaran ukuran ikan yang tertangkap dan keragaman ikan yang tertangkap pada bagan apung pada berbagai periode hauling. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan metode uji coba penangkapan di laut. Pengambilan data dilakukan selama 10 hari dengan tiap trip penangkapan sebagai satu ulangan. Untuk menganalisis adanya perbedaan bobot ikan yang tertangkap dan ukuran panjang spesies dominan pada berbagai periode hauling digunakan Uji Kruskal Wallis. Keragaman hasil tangkapan yang diperoleh pada berbagai waktu hauling dianalisis dengan index Shannon Wiener. Berdasarkan hasil uji Kruskal Wallis terhadap bobot ikan yang tertangkap pada berbagai waktu hauling diperoleh nilai probabilitas 0,041 (P < 0,05). Hal ini berarti bobot hasil tangkapan antara waktu hauling yang berbeda menunjukan perbedaan yang nyata. Hasil Uji Kruskall Wallis pada ukuran panjang ikan dominan menunjukan hasil tangkapan ikan layang dan cumi-cumi berbeda nyata taraf kepercayaan 95%. Keanekaragaman tertinggi terjadi pada waktu hauling tengah malam dengan nilai indeks keragaman 1,956.

Loud Rests and Other Strange Metric Phenomena (or, Meter as Heard)
Authors: London Justin
Published: February 2024

This is an excerpt from a work-in-progress, portions of
which will be read at the 1993 meeting of the Society for Music
Perception and Cognition. In order to give an adequate account of
“loud” rests, metric articulations, and meter's propulsive character
(as noted by theorists such as Berry and Zuckerkandl), a dynamic model
of meter is proposed. In framing this model a brief overview of
theoretical strategies for metric models is given. The dynamic model
regards meter as a listener-generated framework for the understanding
musical time. The theoretical implications of the dynamic model are
discussed, as it challenges traditional notions of meter as “part of
the music,” that is, as musical parameter with the same ontological
status as pitch, loudness, timbre, texture, and rhythm.
Grazyna Bacewicz’s Second Piano Sonata (1953)
Authors: McNamee Ann K.
Published: February 2024

If Grazyna Bacewicz’s music is so “conservative” and
“neoclassical,” why is it so difficult to define the beginning
and ending of the Development in one of her best-known works, the
first movement of her Piano Sonata II? Thirty students and
colleagues arrived at nearly thirty different answers to this
question. I propose a linear analysis to best define the
Development’ parameters, an analysis which reveals a large-scale
octave descent in the bass register. This octave descent spans
neither the major nor the minor scale, but instead prolongs a
Polish folk mode known as the Podhalean mode.

The Phases of Fire
Authors: Cochrane Richard J.
Published: February 2024

The present paper begins by discussing Meyer’s conception of musical conformancy in terms of the Platonic model which is implied in his Explaining Music. It goes on to argue, with reference to Deleuze and Heraclitus, that Meyer himself cannot base musical ontology on this model as he wishes, but is forced to base it on the very concept which the model attempts to exclude: the simulacrum.
The Tristan Chord
Authors: Rothgeb John
Published: February 2024

Theorists have struggled many decades to explain

the first simultaneity of the Prelude to Wagner’s Tristan

und Isolde. An interpretation that seems to be widely

credited today equates the TC with the enharmonically

related half-diminished seventh chord. The difficulty with

this notion is that the outer-voice interval of the TC is

specifically an augmented ninth, not a minor tenth, and

these two intervals differ radically in tonal music, not

only in function but in sheer sonority. The TC is explained

here as resulting from an enlarged slide formation together

with a daring application of elision.
On Considering a Computational Model of Similarity Analysis
Authors: Demske Thomas R.
Published: February 2024

A clustering program is proposed for identifying salient

similarity relationship trends within populations of pitch-class sets

abstracted in post-tonal analysis. That program requires an

evaluation component, but attempts to define one are frustrated. The

similarity relation itself is too abstract to imply guidelines for its

own application, and other potential criteria resist formal

implementation. Even less rigorous applications of the more commonly

used tools in post-tonal analysis are susceptible to the concerns

raised here.
Listening for Schubert’s “Doppelgängers”
Authors: Code David Loberg
Published: February 2024

A doppelgänger is the ghostly double or wraith of
a living person. This essay adopts and adapts this legend to
an analysis of Franz Schubert’s song “Der Doppelgänger.” I
begin by discussing ways in which the myth of the
doppelgänger might relate to Schubert’s personality and
other extramusical features such as affective key
characteristics. Next, these constructions are mapped onto
the piece itself, exploring multiple implications of motivic
pitch structures and binary oppositions among chords and
modalities. After tracing these features through the piece,
I relate this detailed analysis to an interpretation of the
text, and finally, aspects of Schubert’s personal life.
The Silence of the Frames
Authors: Littlefield Richard
Published: February 2024

This essay concerns the edges of musical works, and how those edges are made possible by various frames, especially that of silence. Silence as musical frame is viewed as an index of the more general issue of aesthetic framing. I approach that issue via a reading of Edward Cone's theory of framing silence, as viewed through the aesthetic theories of Immanuel Kant and Jacques Derrida. From that reading I derive a typology of silence as musical frame. That typology is used to effect a reversal of hierarchy in some commonly accepted aesthetic oppositions (such as sound/silence and work/non-work).

“Mode versus Ficta” in Context (response to Bent, MTO 2.6)
Authors: Wibberley Roger
Published: February 2024

Following my discussion of an extract from Josquin’s
Ave Maria, Margaret Bent’s subsequent Commentary reiterated a criticism originally made by Cristle Collins Judd that my linking of the two
concepts “ficta” and “mode” was inapplicable to music of the Josquin period. She provided further invaluable thoughts on “ficta” which are closely allied to her original thesis. While I still consider that her conclusions are (for the most part) unassailable, this essay further explores a few areas where I think they inadequately explain musical thought and practice (as in the Josquin extract previously offered). In particular, the application of exclusively two-voice contrapuntal rules fails, in my view, to
take into consideration other important conceptual aspects: first, the linear and vertical aspects of euphony which arise from modal thinking; and second, the important conceptual distinction (affecting music composed for more than two voices) between “counterpoint” and “harmony.” This essay does not, in my view, run counter to Bent’s views on “recta and ficta” or “counterpoint and consonance,” but it does inevitably question (as in my previous article) some of the ways in which these are applied in performance.

Sound Structures and Naked Fire Gestures in Cecil Taylor’s Solo Piano Music
Authors: Micchelli Mark
Published: February 2024

Analyses of Cecil Taylor’s music are understandably scarce. Very few of his scores exist, and transcriptions are even harder to come by. The music itself is often blindingly fast, unremittingly dissonant, and rhythmically elusive, further discouraging attempts at comprehension. This article aims to fill this analytical void, demonstrating that Taylor’s music is not nearly as intimidating as it at first would seem. Using my own transcriptions of Taylor’s music as a guide, I argue that Taylor’s music is best understood not as abstract relationships between pitches (“sound structures”), but rather as the formal organization of physical movements (“naked fire gestures”). Such a hypothesis comports with Taylor’s own explanation of his music—“I try to imitate on the piano the leaps in space a dancer makes”—and thus demands that questions of physiology and physicality be considered under the umbrella of music theory. Furthermore, this movement-first analytical approach complicates traditional understandings of the autonomous musical “work”: while Taylor’s music could be understood as distinct, individual performances, it is also worthwhile to consider his overarching musical practice as an analytical object in and of itself. Finally, I trace the sounds and gestures of Taylor’s music back to their roots in blues and jazz, reinforcing Taylor’s own understanding of his music as a continuation of Black music traditions.
Teleology in Verse–Prechorus–Chorus Form, 1965–2020
Authors: Nobile Drew F.
Published: February 2024

This article traces a stylistic history of verse–prechorus–chorus form from its inception in mid-1960s rock ’n’ roll through the EDM-infused pop of the 2010s. The central argument is that across its various presentations, verse–prechorus–chorus form is based on a consistent teleological structure, which I term thetelos principle. I chronicle this form’s history through three style periods: I begin with the 1960s through ’80s, over which time verse–prechorus–chorus went from a novel offshoot of standard verse–chorus form to a dominant formal layout. Next, I look at how the form developed between 1991 and 2010, when texture, timbre, and voice increasingly overshadowed harmony as the primary drivers of formal motion. Finally, I consider the 2010s, which saw the strongest efforts toward subverting traditional pop and rock formal processes, especially surrounding the chorus’s central formal status. Throughout the discussion, I demonstrate how the telos principle can guide expressive interpretations of these formal subversions.

In tracing verse–prechorus–chorus form’s historical lineage, this article connects the harmonically oriented theories of ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s rock, such as ".fn_cite($Nobile_2020)." and ".fn_cite($Heetderks_2020).", with recent work on post-2010 EDM-infused pop, such as ".fn_cite($Peres_2016).", ".fn_cite($Barna_2020).", ".fn_cite($Adams_2019).", and ".fn_cite($Osborn_2023).". In so doing, the article reconsiders recent formal innovations not as a rejection of prior paradigms but as new developments within an ongoing thread that remain in dialogue with popular music’s stylistic history.
Analyzing Vocal Placement in Recorded Virtual Space
Authors: Duguay Michèle
Published: February 2024

When listening to a piece of recorded music through headphones or stereo speakers, one hears various sound sources as though they were in avirtual space. This article establishes a methodology for analyzingvocal placement—the apparent location of a voice within this virtual space—in recent popular music. In contrast to existing analytical approaches to the analysis of virtual space that rely primarily on close listening, I provide an empirical method using digital sound-processing tools to precisely locate recorded sound sources in virtual space. Additionally, I offer a measurable way to visually display these parameters within the virtual space. After Ruth Dockwray and Allan Moore (2010), I depict the virtual space as an empty room in which sound sources are located. I position the voice in this empty room according to five parameters: (1)width(the perceived lateral space occupied by the voice); (2)pitch range(the range occupied by the voice); (3)prominence(the amplitude of the voice in relationship to other sound sources in the mix); (4)environment(the level of echo and reverberation applied to the voice); and (5)layering(supplementary vocal tracks added to the voice). To illustrate the methodology, I analyze and compare the vocal placements in Eminem’s and Rihanna’s four collaborations: “Love the Way You Lie” (2010), “Love the Way You Lie (Part II)” (2010), “Numb” (2012), and “The Monster” (2013).
Reconstructing the Paris Conservatory’sCours d’Harmonie1812–1844: Discipline, Sources, Theory, and Method
Authors: Masci Michael
Published: February 2024

A growing body of scholarship on practical music theory traditions, and Italianpartimentopedagogy in particular, has begun to shed light on the nature of harmony pedagogy prior to the development of functional tonal theory. The methods of the Italian schools were not adopted wholesale in Paris, but rather interacted with local pedagogies, resulting in an institutionally-specific approach to teaching harmony. In Paris, the study of written harmony relied on a contrapuntal method for polyphonically realizing and elaborating a series of canonic figures in the form ofcadences(progressions);marches(sequences);modulations;broderies(non-harmonic tones),altérations(chromatic alterations); andpédales(pedals).This article reconstructs the basic catalog of the first four of these elements which served as the cornerstone of the harmony course at the Paris Conservatory across the nineteenth century. In addition, it illustrates how the incorporation of these elements within the institutional confines of the Conservatory resulted in both their distinctive pedagogical treatment and the advancement of a specific compositional method.
Musical Eschatology in Contemporary Christian Worship Songs
Authors: Ng Samuel
Published: February 2024

This article examines musical expressions of the Christian doctrine of eschatology in Contemporary Worship Music (CWM), a subgenre of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). Taking an interdisciplinary approach that combines recent scholarship on pop-music analysis and Christian studies of CWM, I analyze the lyrics and the music of select contemporary worship songs to interpret how their phrase rhythm, form, and tonal design convey and enhance eschatological ideas in the text. The findings address the purported superficialities in CWM’s eschatological content both musically and theologically, and challenge Christian worship leaders and practitioners to consider the skillfulness and artistry of CWM, especially in the areas of phrase rhythm, phraseology, formal proportions, and strategic deployment of tonal resolutions, when evaluating and selecting contemporary worship songs for congregational singing.

Review of J. Kent Williams, Theories and Analyses of Twentieth-Century Music (Harcourt Brace and Company, 1997)
Authors: Barnes Larry
Published: February 2024

Lest we arrive at the millennium uninformed, the time

to reconcile with the twentieth century’s milieu has arrived with

a vengeance. In the spring of 1997, I employed J. Kent Williams’s

Theories and Analyses of Twentieth-Century Music, one of several

recent texts that attempt such a reconciliation. Newly published,

this was the primary resource in a course designed for upper-level

undergraduate music majors. Unlike two other current texts

dealing with analysis of our century’s music, Williams’s offers a

brave inclusiveness, paying careful homage to nearly every salient

style of this century. This review deals with personal successes

and concerns I encountered with this in the classroom.

Multimedia for Music Study on the Web
Authors: Headlam Dave
Published: February 2024

The advent of powerful, widely accessible, and financially viable personal computers with network connections on
the World Wide Web has lead to exciting possibilities for
creating musically meaningful presentations for teaching,
performing, and researching music and disseminating them easily
to colleagues, classes, or even to a potentially vast mass
audience. These presentations can combine sound, images,
animation, and interaction for stimulating and interesting
results. The downsides of learning different programming
languages, understanding Web page design and networking, dealing
with multiple platforms (principally MacIntosh and Windows), and
the problems of generating sound on different computers have a
solution in the multimedia authoring program Director and its Web
counterpart Shockwave, from Macromedia. This paper outlines the
format of Director in its Web version with an emphasis on its
potential for sound, and includes some demonstration files, and
closes with some considerations of technique and content in web
authoring for educational purposes.

The evolving role of geospatial intelligence in enhancing urban security: A review of applications and outcomes
Authors: Preye Winston Biu  , Johnson Sunday Oliha  , Ogagua Chimezie Obi
Published: February 2024

Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) has emerged as a pivotal tool in addressing the complexities of urban security, offering insights crucial for effective decision-making and resource allocation in the face of evolving threats. This review examines the multifaceted applications and outcomes of GEOINT in enhancing urban security, encompassing its utilization in surveillance, risk assessment, disaster management, and infrastructure protection. The proliferation of advanced satellite imaging, aerial photography, and geographic information systems (GIS) has revolutionized urban security efforts. Through the integration of various data sources, GEOINT enables the comprehensive mapping and monitoring of urban landscapes, facilitating the identification of vulnerable areas and potential security risks. This proactive approach empowers authorities to preemptively deploy resources and implement targeted interventions, thereby mitigating potential threats before they escalate. Moreover, GEOINT plays a pivotal role in enhancing situational awareness during emergencies and crises. By providing real-time updates on evolving situations, including natural disasters or terrorist activities, GEOINT facilitates rapid response and coordination among emergency responders. Furthermore, its ability to overlay spatial data with demographic and socio-economic information enables a nuanced understanding of the urban environment, ensuring more effective emergency management strategies tailored to specific community needs. Furthermore, GEOINT is instrumental in safeguarding critical urban infrastructure, such as transportation networks, power plants, and water supply systems, from potential security breaches. Through comprehensive spatial analysis, vulnerabilities within infrastructure networks can be identified, and security measures can be optimized to mitigate risks and ensure resilience against potential threats. This review also explores the emerging trends and future directions in the utilization of GEOINT for urban security, including the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for predictive analytics and anomaly detection. Additionally, the ethical and privacy implications associated with the widespread adoption of GEOINT in urban security are discussed, emphasizing the importance of responsible data governance and transparency. The evolving role of GEOINT in enhancing urban security underscores its indispensability in addressing contemporary security challenges. By leveraging spatial data and advanced analytics, GEOINT offers a comprehensive and proactive approach to safeguarding urban environments, thereby ensuring the safety and resilience of communities in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
Water quality assessment and evaluation of human health risk of drinking water in Ranchi District of Jharkhand
Authors: Rupa Verma  , Soma Roy  , Vishal Kumar Singh
Published: February 2024

The primary cause of water-borne disease epidemics, particularly in underdeveloped nations, is the consumption of drinking water tainted with dangerous bacteria that originated in excrement. Water bodies have been essential to the development of civilizations throughout history, and they are still important for the modern economic expansion of all modern cultures. Microbes can get into water sources through agricultural inputs and rainfall runoff, which can combine with sewage effluents. The coliform group of bacteria, which signals the possible presence of harmful organisms, is the organism that is typically searched for during the standard water analysis technique. Microbes that cause disease in humans multiply and spread through the medium of water. For this reason, one of the most crucial criteria for public health is the drinking of safe water. Water samples were collected from various sources (surface water and groundwater sources) throughout March to May 2023. Ten water samples were taken from the surface and groundwater in and around Ranchi Municipality Nagra Toli and Karamtoli areas The MPN index, fungal tests, colony count, and other biochemical test parameters were all analyzed. Comparing surface water to groundwater, it was discovered that the MPN index of the former was higher. Up to 140 MPN/100 mL of total coliform count were found. Samples of surface and groundwater revealed the presence of two distinct bacterial species. It becomes clear that Escherichia coli and Bacillus Enterococcus faecalis bacterial isolates were common. The current study's objectives were to identify the various microbial groups and perform several microbiological studies. To maintain the hygienic quality of the water supply, it is strongly advised to do bacteriological examinations on both the water entering the distribution system and the water already in the system on a frequent and regular basis. Regular inspections are necessary for both sanitary management and testing portable water.
Los sesgos en el conocimiento judicial
Authors: De Giuli Anna
Published: February 2024

La literatura jurídica está dedicando cada vez más atención a los estereotipos perjudiciales en los distintos momentos procesales, desde la fase de instrucción hasta que se dicta sentencia. En este trabajo la estereotipación judicial, como mala praxis de la argumentación judicial, se enfocará en la sentencia. Después de evidenciar el fundamental papel de la motivación como lugar donde poder ejercer un control de las decisiones judiciales (2), así como lugar donde detectar la estereotipación judicial (3), se propondrá reflexionar sobre dos tipos de conocimiento que pueden vehicular los sesgos de una cultura discriminatoria: el sentido común (4) y la pseudo-ciencia (5). Si bien son dos tipos de conocimiento que se emplean en la motivación de la sentencia para alcanzar un mejor entendimiento de los hechos, se observa la necesidad de que el órgano judicial adopte una actitud crítica para detectar la subyacente práctica discriminatoria potencialmente presente en ambas formas de conocimiento.

Authors: La Spina Encarnación
Published: February 2024

Durante las últimas décadas, el método comparado ha adquirido un protagonismo imprescindible en la investigación jurídica porque este método permite profundizar y comprender de forma crítica la complejidad del fenómeno jurídico. El objetivo de este artículo se centra en analizar cuál es el alcance y cuáles las tensiones entre el binomio necesidad versus finalidad en el desarrollo metodológico de la investigación jurídico-comparada. Al respecto, se recogen las principales aportaciones teóricas y consideraciones sobre la naturaleza del método/disciplina comparados, así como se reflexiona sobre los problemas y los retos de este método, las diferentes fases metodológicas y las estrategias existentes. Y, por último, se incluye una propuesta de mejora basada en un modelo de comparación jurídica “lenta” (slow legal comparative) como una fórmula para equilibrar este binomio en la actividad investigadora iuscomparatista.

Differences between phonological and orthographic vocabulary knowledge among L1-Spanish learners of English as a foreign language
Authors: Aoiz Pinillos Martín
Published: February 2024

The vocabulary size of language learners might predict their success in a second language because of its strong correlation with better performances in that target language (Zhang & Zhang 2022). Although previous research has claimed that aural and written vocabulary are two aspects of vocabulary knowledge that need to be estimated separately, very few studies have examined this issue from an empirical perspective.

This paper presents the possible differences in size between the phonological and orthographic vocabulary among learners of English as a second language. A bilingual vocabulary test was delivered, first orally and then in writing, to 209 adult learners in Spain. The refined version of the instrument, showed reliabilities ranging between .79 and .92.

Statistical analyses confirm that language learners know fewer words in their aural form than in their written form regardless of the frequency of the word or the learner’s language level. This finding supports the claim that aural and written vocabulary are two separate aspects of knowing a word and impacts on how vocabulary should be taught in L2 classrooms.
Формирование урожая сои северного экотипа в разные по влагообеспеченности годы в условиях Центрального района Нечерноземной зоны
Authors: Белышкина Марина Евгеньевна
Published: February 2024

Дана сравнительная оценка агроценоза сои (Glycine hispida L.) северного экотипа (сорт Окская) по урожайности, белковой продуктивности и кормовой ценности семян и надземной биомассы (сырой и сухой) в разные по влагообеспеченности годы (2008 – 2020 гг.) в условиях Центрального Нечерноземья. Продолжительность вегетационного периода в зависимости от условий влагообеспеченности составила 101 – 125 дней; максимальная площадь листьев сои — в среднем 35,8 тыс. м2/га. В годы с недостаточной влагообеспеченностью она не превышала 25,4 тыс. м2/га, а при избыточной достигала 48,3 тыс. м2/га, т.е. возрастала в 1,95 – 2,40 раза. Максимальное накопление сырого белка в сухой надземной биомассе фиксировали в фазу полного налива семян: 41,0 % сухой надземной биомассы и 69,0 % сырого белка накапливалось за счет бобов; за счет стеблей и листьев — соответственно 11,0 и 20,0 % белка. Урожайность семян в среднем по опыту составила 2,54 т/га; содержание белка — 39,71 %; сбор белка с урожаем — 1008 кг/га, незаменимых аминокислот — 680 кг/га, лизина — 48 кг/га, кормовых единиц — 3,40 т/га. В условиях достаточной влагообеспеченности существенно возрастала продуктивность сои: содержание сырого белка в семенах увеличивалось на 2,13 – 3,3 %; сбор сырого белка — на 165 – 267 кг/га, незаменимых аминокислот — на 100 – 161 кг/га, кормовых единиц — на 0,45 – 0,64 т/га.

По данным зоотехнического учета крупного рогатого скота по Кировской области в период с 1939 по 2022 г. и информационным показателям системы «СЕЛЭКС — Мясной скот» изучены развитие и состояние мясного скотоводства и отмечены факторы, определяющие эффективность производства. В регионе практикуется использование зимне-весенних отелов с выходом телят к отъему до 85 %, родильного отделения и обязательной подкормки концентратами подсосных телят с 4 – 5-го дня жизни. Учитывая опыт работы с мясным скотом в Кировской области, отечественная подотрасль должна базироваться на устойчивом генетическом улучшении стада коров по экономически важным признакам, дальнейшем развитии кормовой базы и реализации крупномасштабных проектов на основе конкурентоспособных мясных пород.

Проанализировано состояние работы ведущих племенных хозяйств России, занимающихся разведением специализированных мясных пород крупного рогатого скота. Количество пробонитированного скота (абердин-ангусская, герефордская, казахская белоголовая и калмыцкая породы) на 2022 г. составляет 96,8 % от всего поголовья. На остальные породы (галловейская, симментальская мясного типа, лимузинская, обрак, шаролезская, салерс, русская комолая, бланк блю бельж) приходится 3,2 %. В период с 2010 по 2022 г. резко увеличилась численность скота абердин-ангусской породы — в 6 раз, тогда как калмыцкой породы снизилась на 26,3 тыс. голов. Среди телок анализируемых пород наиболее тяжеловесными при 1-м осеменении оказались животные герефордской и казахской белоголовой пород — 403 и 399 кг соответственно. В то же время более раннее осеменение было свойственно телкам абердин-ангусской породы, позднее — калмыцкой породы, различия составили 6 мес. Телки герефордской и казахской белоголовой пород по данному показателю занимали промежуточное положение со значениями в 19 мес., что соответствовало уровню показателя для всех мясных пород страны. Дольше в стадах страны использовались коровы абердин-ангусской породы — 7,9 отелов, тогда как герефорды — 5,5 отелов. Продолжительность использования отечественных мясных пород находилась практически на одном уровне — 6,7 – 7,1 отелов. В 2022 г., несмотря на более продолжительное использование маточного поголовья абердин-ангусского скота, выход телят от 100 коров этой породы был значительно ниже, чем от остальных, в среднем на 12 – 19 голов.
Анализ и направления повышения эффективности использования биологических активов молочного скотоводства в условиях обеспечения импортонезависимости регионального АПК
Authors: Шабанникова Наталия Николаевна
Published: February 2024

Повышение эффективности молочного скотоводства является актуальным направлением развития АПК региона, что связано с необходимостью обеспечения импортонезависимости и продовольственной безопасности страны. В последние годы наблюдается снижение объемов производства молока, рост себестоимости единицы продукции, что обусловлено высокой трудоемкостью производства, слабой кормовой базой в молочном скотоводстве, а также несовершенством учета и контроля в отдельных организациях. Основу материально-технической базы молочного скотоводства составляют биологические активы. Оперативный учет и анализ показателей производственной и экономической эффективности использования биологических активов молочного скотоводства позволит своевременно выявлять факторы, сдерживающие рост продуктивности молочного скота и в целом определять направления повышения конкурентоспособности отрасли. Уточнены методические подходы к анализу использования биологических активов молочного скотоводства, а также определены направления повышения эффективности молочного скотоводства в регионе. Изучены показатели развития молочного скотоводства в Орловской области, динамика и структура поголовья, проанализированы показатели продуктивности биологических активов, выполнена оценка структуры себестоимости молока. Теоретическая и практическая значимость выполненного исследования заключается в том, что сформулированные в статье научно-практические рекомендации по проведению анализа использования долгосрочных биологических активов молочного скотоводства будут способствовать повышению эффективности и конкурентоспособности молочного скотоводства в регионе.
TECHNIQUE TO ANALYSE FATIGUE LIFE OF THE BEARER FRAME OF A SPECIALIZED SLAG CARRIAGE

Published: February 2024

A technique to assess the strength and fatigue life of the welded load-bearing frame structure of a specialized slag carriage is proposed. This method provides for taking into account the specific operating modes of the carriage, which differ significantly from the operating conditions of mainline freight cars. For this car type, the fatigue life is determined by the modes associated with loading and unloading operations, as well as temperature loads acting on the bearing structure of the frame. The proposed method is based on mathematical and computer modeling of the dynamic loading of a car in operation. Dynamic loads are found on the basis of the developed solid car model. The structural strength is assessed using the finite element method. The fatigue life of the structure is estimated within the framework of a hybrid model that includes elements of low- and multi-cycle fatigue. The approbation of the technique is carried out using the example of a specialized car for transporting 16-VP slag. The results obtained confirm the operability of the studied car structure and correspond well with the results of field tests and analysis of bearing structures in operation.
