MUSICAL SONORITY AS A PERFORMATIVE QUALITY OF A LITERARY TEXT
Authors: Macenka Svitlana
Published: December 2022

The ways of recreating musical sonority in the text are studied within the theory of literary intermediality. The subject of research is the structural performability of text which helps to stage the performance of musical pieces within it. Specifi c textual strategies are discussed, which promote the perception of music in a literary text through the features of a sounding but not musical text, i.e. semantization of a musical piece. In this connection, the notion of performative writing is outlined, which can represent its mediality by showing what it talks about and, by doing so, its going beyond propositional senses. The study relies on the ideas of German mediality expert Sybille Krämer and literary mediality theorist Uwe Wirth. A short story by contemporary German writer Friedrich Christian Delius “The Future of Beauty” (2018) is analyzed. The ways in which the writer creates a free jazz concert with optimal musical sonority are studied. The famous 1966 concert of jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler is presented as an immediate musical event, with the actualization of sensory perception and interpretation of the sounding in a social and historical context. The performative dimension of the text, which highlights musical sonority, is achieved on the border of sound realization through the use of musical instruments, bodiliness of musicians, gestures, development of musical theme and assigning meaning to specifi c sound images, metaphorization of the sound, and creating images in one’s perception. The writer works within the modes of intertextuality and intermediality. He singles out solos, emphasizes the importance of communication between musical instruments and perceives the dynamics of a concert as a single event. Musical sounding is determined by the social and historical time; it is designed for an emotionally active and thoughtful recipient; its echo is vibrant for a long time and causes understanding of some regularities of human development. The study of musical sonority in literary texts highlights the process of sense creation and points to the productivity of borderline creative phenomena that a text-concert undoubtedly belongs to. Key words: intermediality, performability of text, musical sonority, free jazz, Friedrich Christian Delius.

Tensile testing and instrumented indentation of biodegradable polymers have been performed. The elastic modulus, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength of polymers were determined by a non-destructive (instrumented indentation) method. The registration of an instrumented indentation diagram may contribute to increase efficiency of on-line mechanical inspection of biodegradable polymer products during their manufacturing by additive technologies, and then in operation.
A comparison of Auto Train Brain neurofeedback rewarding interfaces in terms of efficacy
Authors: EROGLU Gunet
Published: December 2022

- Auto Train Brain is a mobile app that was specifically developed for dyslexic children to increase their reading speed and reading comprehension. In the original mobile app, there was only one unique neurofeedback user interface that provided visually and audibly rewarding feedback to the subject with a red-green colored arrow on the screen. Later on, new modules are added to the app with the requests of the end-users. These are the “youtube” video-based interface, “Spotify” auditory-based interface, and arrow interface which gives visual and auditory cues. In this research, we have compared the efficacy of the neurofeedback rewarding interfaces. The experiment group consists of 20 dyslexic children aged 7-to 10 (15 males, 5 females) who have preferred one interface over the others each day and used it at home for more than six months. The result indicates that though the “youtube” interface is liked most by the participants, the arrow-based simple neurofeedback interface reduces theta brain waves more than other rewarding schemes. On the other hand, “youtube” and “spotify” based interfaces increase Beta band powers more than the arrow interface in the cortex. The ”Spotify” user interface improves the fast brain waves more on the temporal lobes (T7 and T8) as the feedback given was only auditory.

Data Subject Rights as a Tool for Platform Worker Resistance: Lessons from the Uber/Ola Judgments
Authors: Li Wenlong , Toh Jill
Published: December 2022

Data subject rights have been increasingly used to challenge power asymmetries in different contexts, including work. This chapter looks at how platform workers have harnessed their data subject rights in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the wider context of platform worker resistance. The strategic litigation cases against Uber and Ola, brought forth by App Drivers Workers Union (ADCU) and Worker Info Exchange (WIE) before the Amsterdam District Court (ADC), represent a prime example of data subject rights being leveraged by workers in an unconventional and potentially complicated manner. While this is not the first time that data subject rights have been interpreted before courts, these judgments have implications that merit attention from both labour protection and data protection communities. These rulings showcase how data rights are operationalised and envisioned as a tool of resistance, contrasting with how these rights are designed by legislators. These rulings also reveal barriers to the effective exercise of these rights in practice, which should be urgently addressed via an update on the guidelines or via more radical reform. This chapter evaluates the ADC’s rulings through the lens of data protection and shows glitches, mismatches and erroneous views in need of revision in the appeal. It is argued that courts are in a distinctive and critical position vis-a-vis data protection authorities to make these rights work. While there are inherent limitations on these rights (the right of access in particular), courts play an indispensable role in removing procedural barriers and establishing avenues for balancing competing values. At the juncture where the regulatory landscape for platform work are being radically re-configured, data subject rights still, we argue, offer potentials for platform workers as a tool of resistance.

Perubahan sosial budaya meliputi perubahan fungsi kebudayaan dan perilaku manusia dalam masyarakat dari keadaan tertentu ke keadaan lain. Hal ini mengandung arti bahwa perubahan yang terjadimeliputi perubahan sosial dan budaya, terjadi di masyarakat, serta menghasilkan keadaan baru bagimanusia. Kebudayaan harus dipahami menurut tiga lapisan berikut: lapisan teknologi adalah yang terendah, lapisan sosiologis yang menengah, lapisan filosofis yang tertinggi. Dampak lain adalah munculnya budaya berbagi yang berlebihan dan pengungkapan diri (self diselosure) di dunia maya.Budaya ini muncul dan terdeterminasi salah satunya karena hadirnya media sosial yang memungkinkan secara perangkat siapa pun dapat mengunggah apa saja. Hal tersebut menjadi sebuah budaya yang pada akhrinya memberikan penaburan terhadap batas-batas antara ruang pribadi dan ruang publik. Konsekuensi adanya media online dan semakin maraknya pengguna media sosial. Media sosial tidak hanya ditempatkan lagi dalam konteks saluran atau medium, tetapi media sosial itu sudah merupakan gaya hidup dari hubungan antara pengguna dan teknologi.Kata kunci: Budaya, Media Sosial, Sosial.

Developing a Causally Valid Picture-Story Measure of Sexual Motivation: II. Effects of film clips
Authors: Schultheiss Oliver C. , Hinzmann Jessica
Published: December 2022

Replicating and extending previous work by Hinzmann et al. (submitted), the present research aimed at validating a picture-story measure of sexual motivation, termed need for sex (nSex). In two experimental studies (Ns = 154 and 171) with repeated-measures design, we showed that (a) nSex is sensitive to experimental manipulation of sexual motivation via film clips, (b) that this effect is mediated by increased subjective arousal as an indicator of a motivational process, and (c) that the part of nSex variance that is sensitive for experimental manipulation is also the one accounting for variations in a behavioral criterion (key pressing and viewing time measures of relative preference for erotic over non-erotic pictures). These effects emerged specifically when film clips portrayed sex positively, but not when they showed sex with embarrassing or threatening consequences. As a dispositional measure, nSex correlated positively with self-report measures of sexual desire and behavior. But it did not feature the sex difference associated with these measures and retained incremental validity above and beyond them for behavioral criterion measures.

FEED your mind: The evolutionary roots of human food cognition
Authors: rioux camille , Wertz Annie E. , Rumiati Raffaella I , Coricelli Carol
Published: December 2022

Research on food cognition has overlooked that our modern food environment strongly differs from the environment in which our ancestors lived. In fact, in most cultures today, many decisions about food are made during a trip to the grocery store, where we might ask ourselves: Are these canned tomatoes healthy? but certainly not: Are they edible or toxic? In contrast, our ancestors had to navigate their natural environment to Find and Evaluate the beneficial foods in that environment, while Excluding the costs of consuming something harmful, and finally Decide which entities to eat. We call this the FEED problem and present an innovative perspective on food cognition. We argue that a focus on FEED can bridge the gap between different findings in the field of food cognition and shed a new light on the cognitive and brain mechanisms that drive our food behaviors. It has the potential to promote novel intervention strategies, at a time when the rise of food-related health and environmental challenges calls for action.
Impaired emotional awareness is associated with childhood trauma exposure and positive symptoms in schizophrenia
Authors: Beals Kendall M , Torregrossa Lénie Julia , Smith Ryan , Lane Richard D. , Sheffield Julia
Published: December 2022

Evidence suggests that emotional awareness – the ability to identify and label emotions – may be impaired in schizophrenia and related to positive symptom severity. Exposure to childhood trauma is a risk factor for both low emotional awareness and positive symptoms. The current investigation examines associations between a performance-based measure of emotional awareness, positive symptom severity, and childhood trauma exposure in 44 individuals with a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder and 48 healthy comparison participants using the electronic Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (eLEAS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Patients demonstrated significant deficits in emotional awareness overall, which was true for both self and others. In patients, lower emotional awareness was significantly associated with more severe positive symptoms. Emotional awareness was significantly impaired in patients with schizophrenia with trauma exposure, relative to other groups. Severity of trauma was not significantly associated with emotional awareness or positive symptoms when looking continuously, and there was no significant indirect effect. These data suggest that emotional awareness impairments observed in schizophrenia may be exacerbated by exposure to childhood trauma, possibly putting individuals at greater risk for experiencing positive symptoms of psychosis.

Published: December 2022

Numerous meta-analyses have established associations between child maltreatment and mental health. However, variation exists between reviews regarding the magnitude of these predictions. A systematic, quantitative umbrella synthesis (i.e. meta-analysis of meta-analyses) was undertaken to describe the associations between various types of maltreatment (i.e. physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, prenatal substance misuse, adverse childhood experiences and intimate partner violence) and mental health issues including executive functioning. We analysed and combined effect sizes from 97 quantitative meta-analyses comprising more than 11 million participants, published between January 1, 2016, and July 19, 2021. Child maltreatment was associated with all examined outcomes: 1) externalizing problems (r = 0.21), 2) internalizing problems (r = 0.21), 3) thought problems (r = 0.33), 4) executive functioning (r = 0.23), 5) suicide and related behaviors (r = 0.24), 6) substance misuse (r = 0.20), 7) interpersonal violence (r = 0.25) and 8) other psychological difficulties (r = 0.22). Findings demonstrate that maltreatment is associated with various psychological difficulties, and these associations tend to be of similar magnitude for different forms of maltreatment. A parsimonious explanation for these findings would be a common mechanism(s) or a general psychopathology factor conferring high risk for different mental health problems following child maltreatment. For practitioners and service providers, these results indicate a comparable degree of mental health difficulties across all forms measured in the wake of maltreatment. The results call into question the conventional wisdom that suggests some forms of maltreatment are intrinsically more harmful to mental health than others.
The global rise of criminal background checks
Authors: Rovira Marti
Published: December 2022

The extensive use of criminal background checks — the request for information on prior convictions for non-judicial purposes — creates obstacles to a fair re-integration of individuals with criminal records. Previous research has documented the growth in the use of criminal background checks in Western jurisdictions. However, much less is known about the evolution of criminal background checks in other parts of the world. In this study, I present and analyse an original dataset with information on requests for official criminal record certificates for non-judicial purposes in 52 countries. The results show that the use of criminal background checks for non-judicial purposes is rising in nearly every country measured. These findings advance our knowledge about the international character of a previously-ignored dimension of the globalisation of punitiveness.
Vector Autoregression in Forecasting COVID-19 Under-Reporting–Nepal as a Case Study
Authors: Devkota Jyoti U.
Published: December 2022

This paper aims to understand and predict the dynamics of spread of COVID-19. It is based on government data on COVID-19 from February 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021. First, Vector Autoregression (VAR) model is used here to model the interrelationships between time series data of daily tested, infected, dead and discharged. The impact of under-reporting on interrelated variables is quantified. The behavior of the parameters of these VAR model is also analyzed. The entire time period of study is divided into three phases, according to the intensity of vaccination drive. The impact of vaccination in controlling the spread of the pandemic is measured by studying the behavior of the coefficients of VAR model for these three time periods. Then, Granger causality is also measured. At 10% level of significance, it is found that if the number of infected is under-reported today, this is due to the significant influence of number of infected until previous two days. The number of discharged one day ago and three days ago also significantly influence this number. Number of tests conducted two days ago also significantly contributes to this underreporting. The impact of latent variables on the spread of COVID-19 is measured here.
Mathematical Analysis of Rabies Transmission Dynamics and Control
Authors: Bukari Suleman Adamu , Seidu Baba , Daabo Mohammed Ibrahim
Published: December 2022

Rabies is a dangerous disease that kills many people than any other communicable disease and yet it is underrated. This results from the little knowledge on the myriad ways of transmission of the virus. A deterministic model is proposed to study the spread of the rabies virus in both domestic dogs (Canis familiaries) and humans (Homo sapiens). We elaborately studied the spread of the rabies virus from dogs to-dogs, dogs-to-humans and for the first time, humans-to-humans. Sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the influence of various parameters on the transmission of rabies the most. The rabies-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium points were determined and the conditions under which the equilibria are stable were also obtained. The stability conditions provide the conditions under which the disease will persist or get to be eradicated. Numerical solutions of the model were obtained using the ode45 routine in MATLAB. The study demonstrated that for rabies to be eradicated, the rate at which dogs are recruited must be decreased, culling of exposed and infected dogs should be increased and mass vaccination of the dog population should be targeted.
Significant Aspects of Quality Management in Proportionate with Libraries
Authors: Sharma Chitra
Published: December 2022

A good service is one that meets all of the needs and possibilities of its customers. Traditionally, rather than the library's capabilities, quality has been measured by collection size and assessment. Quality is a necessary condition for providing library services, and all libraries strive to provide the highest possible level of service. A library's tasks typically fall into three categories: managerial supervision, procedural services, and customer services. When it comes to libraries, customer service is the most important thing. The author of the paper discusses the most important aspects of Quality Management (QM) that pertain to the library.
DISTRIBUTION OF METAL DROPLETS BETWEEN GAS AND SLAG PHASES DURING BUCKET BATH BLOWING
Authors: Sigarev Е. , Yeskov D. , Pohvalityi A. , Manukian Т.
Published: December 2022

Losses of metal with slag falling from the surface of the molten cast iron at the loading plants after the end of the ladle desulfurization process and losses with metal drops leaving the ladle bath when gas bubbles exit and break on its surface affect the cost and energy efficiency of the operation. Blowing a mixture of dispersed magnesium with lime into the ladle bath in the conditions of cast iron desulphurization plant PrJSC "KAMET—STEEL" leads to an increase in both the viscosity and the mass of the ladle slag, with an increase in the metal content in the form of balls in the ladle slag to 65— 80 %.

The purpose of the work is to study the peculiarities of the removal of metal drops into the surrounding space, which are formed after the bursting of gas bubbles, when they fall on the surface of the ladle bath. To realize the set goal, a series of high—temperature experiments with simulation of bath purging during bucket desulfurization of cast iron were conducted in the laboratory conditions of the Department of metallurgy of ferrous metals and pressure metal processing of DSTU. A study of the features of removal and loss of cast iron with drops during overflows of the latter shows that some of the drops explode in flight with the release of brown smoke and the formation of drops of smaller sizes than the "mother" drop. Despite favorable conditions, part of the drops reach the surface of the bath or fly beyond it without exploding. Using the obtained experimental data, a model of the release of gas bubbles on the surface of the bath and an algorithm for calculating the indicators of the movement of metal drops formed from a metal film on the surface of gas bubbles after their rupture are proposed. It was determined that the most probable condition for blowing out the bath in a 230-ton bucket is the departure of metal drops from the surface of the bath at angles in the range of 35...45 degrees. The decisive role of the physicochemical properties of the slag cover and the expediency of further improvement of the blowing mode and slag regime of ladle desulphurization of processing cast iron have been confirmed.
DETERMINATION OF INTERVALS REGARDING POSSIBLE VALUES OF CHARGE PARAMETERS WHEN PRODUCING FERROALLOYS
Authors: Kachan Yu. , Mishchenko V.
Published: December 2022

The energy performance of the ore-thermal furnace is affected by the electrical and thermal parameters of the charge, which vary depending on its composition and heating temperature. Namely: specific electrical resistance (SER), mass heat capacity, specific density and coefficient of thermal conductivity. Many scientists experimentally established the mathematical dependence of these parameters on temperature. However, in order to ensure the adequacy of the complex model of the ore-thermal furnace in the mode of its adjustment for a specific process, it is necessary to determine the intervals of possible values of the specified parameters of the charge loaded into it. In the future, the optimization problem considers all possible combinations of their discrete values within the previously mentioned limits, and the one of them that provides the minimum prediction error of the model is determined. If we consider the charge as a whole, then the intervals of the value of the specific electrical resistance depending on the temperature range from 2.055 to 9.249 Ohm·m at low temperatures and from 0.002 to 0.018 Ohm·m in the range of 1200-13000С, depending on the percentage composition of its components. The largest fluctuations in the thermal conductivity values of the charge are present in the temperature range from 500 оС to 900 оС and are 0.754—1.93 W/m·оС. The largest fluctuations in the heat capacity values of the charge are characteristic of high temperatures. Among other input parameters of the complex model of the operation of the ore-thermal furnace, there is also the bulk density of the charge, which also has its fluctuation limits, but only the limits of its components are known. The formula for calculating the density of the charge as a whole is proposed and its maximum and minimum values are established. The obtained information is sufficient to carry out more accurate technological calculations regarding the specified properties at different temperatures and components of the charge from which certain grades of ferroalloys are smelted. Therefore, in order to set an optimization problem regarding the minimization of the possible forecast error of the proposed model, it is possible to determine their specific oscillation intervals. In the further selection of the parameter values, they will be used as input data in the complex mathematical model of the ore-thermal furnace operation, which makes it possible to dynamically monitor the electrical and thermal processes that are directly related to each other and occur during the smelting of ferroalloys.

The rapid rise in energy prices in the world makes the problem of energy saving relevant for today. Drying of materials is one of the most energy-intensive heat-technological processes. Despite the high heat consumption for drying processes, the quality of the resulting material may not meet modern requirements, and the specific energy consumption will be too high. Therefore, consideration of new means and devices for drying materials using heat pumps is promising.

The efficiency of the dryer depends on the degree of air recirculation. In dryers, complete recirculation of exhaust gases is impossible, since an increase in the moisture content of the air significantly reduces its drying capacity. But the heat pump can be effectively used as a means of removing moisture from the exhaust gases of the dryers, while it is possible to increase the proportion of their recirculation.

The aim of the study is to determine the optimal value of the percentage of recirculation of the treated exhaust gases from the dryer, at which the greatest energy savings are achieved.

The installation of a heat pump downstream of the dryer on the flue gas side effects both the humidity and temperature conditions by recirculating some of the flue gases treated in the heat pump to the dryer inlet. As the results of the study showed, the use of a heat pump to dry the exhaust wet gas and return it to the cycle makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the dryer, but energy is wasted to drive the heat pump compressor. In accordance with this, the consumption of primary fuel is also reduced to obtain the required amount of thermal energy for heating.

The developed method makes it possible to determine the optimal proportion of exhaust air recirculation in dryers in order to achieve the greatest savings in primary fuel compared to conventional recirculation.

A chemical analysis of agricultural soils, on which various approaches to agricultural land treatment using mineral and organic fertilizers are involved, was carried out on the example of Petrykivka community of Dnipropetrovsk region. Concentrations of mobile forms of heavy metals were determined: cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, zinc and manganese in data samples soils It was established that there is no exceedance of the maximum permissible concentrations of mobile forms of heavy metals in the soil samples of the studied areas. When comparing the obtained concentration values with the background indicators, it was found that they were mostly exceeded. The assessment of the level of ecological safety of the agricultural lands of the Petrykivka community of the Dnipropetrovsk region was carried out using the selected methodology. It was established that one of the experimental sites has a moderately dangerous level of pollution and carries a potential danger in the flow of mobile forms of heavy metals to the components of the environment and to humans in particular. For this area, recommendations have been made to control the amount of mineral fertilizers used and reduce the level of soil contamination by heavy metals.

At present, at the metallurgical plants of Ukraine, a charge with an unstable chemical composition is used, which leads to significant fluctuations in temperature, the content of sulfur, silicon in cast iron and to a significant decrease in the technical and economic indicators of the further process of the production of iron-carbon semi-products. The application of standard technology of step-by-step multi-stage refining of cast iron from sulfur, silicon and phosphorus leads to an increasemelting cycle, a significant decrease in temperature, which reduces the technical and economic indicators of converter melting. Therefore, studies of the processes of one-stage removal of sulfur and silicon from liquid cast iron are relevant for the development of recommendations for reagents and technology of complex treatment of cast iron before steelmaking processing. The purpose of the work is to clarify the features of the physicochemical transformations occurring in the volume of liquid cast iron when the refining mixture of the CaO-FeO-Na2CO3 system is injected when the carrier gas is supplied in the jet. Information on the interaction of melt components with oxidation products formed in the zone of action of the gas jet was summarized, and the dependence of lgKp on temperature was constructed for possible reactions of chemical transformationsA thermodynamic analysis of the refining process was carried out due to the injection of the refining mixture of the CaO-FeO-Na2CO3 system using different carrier gases. It has been established that silicon removal processes mainly take place in the zone of direct impact of the gas-powder jet on the melt, and the silicon dioxin formed at the same time is effectively bound into dicalcium silicate. Removal of sulfur from the melt proceeds directly due to the interaction of elements of the melt with products formed in the zone of influence of the gas-powder jet on liquid cast iron and is based on desulfurization with soda in the presence of high concentrations of soda in the melt.

Published: December 2022

The article outlines the main stages of the fate of the Ukrainian writer, translator and public figure Valeria O’Connor-Vilinska and the path of her novel „In Emigration” to the reader. The research on the Consul General’s wife as the author of a novel about Ukrainian diplomats is a part of the Women’s Face of Ukrainian Diplomacy project. It was initiated by the Scientific Society for the History of Diplomacy and International Relations in 2021 to mark the 30th anniversary of the restoration of state independence of Ukraine. Being published 75 years after the author’s death the literary work drew readers’ attention to little-known events in diplomatic history. At the same time the work contained consonant assessments of the painful problems of young diplomacy expressed in the memoirs of contemporaries. It is noted that the peculiarity of the novel is that it was based on the true history of the Ukrainian Consulate General in Zurich, her own life experience of the Consul General’s wife as a direct participant in the events.

To improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlaying seed priming, RNA transcriptome analysis was performed using primed and non-primed seeds of Silene sendtneri. Seed priming was performed by submergence in 1% silicic acid for 24h at 4°C, followed by rinsing with sterilised water and desiccation to original moisture content. Silene sendtneri is a species with no sequenced genome and annotation of de novo assembly of transcriptome was done against several species. Gene ontology (GO) analysis indicated that genes related to heavy metal transporters and heat shock proteins are differentially expressed after priming with silicic acid. Within these gene categories, genes such as heavy metal-associated isoprenylated plant protein 26-like (log2fold -8.79) were downregulated, while others such as heavy metal ATPase 5 (log2fold 6.46), heat shock factor protein HSF30-like isoform X1 (log2fold 5.98) were upregulated.

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease characterized by transmural inflammation, with the majority of patients having small bowel involvement, usually the distal ileum. Typical manifestations include a prolonged course of abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. We report a case of a 21-year-old male who presented with an acute abdomen and was in profound shock resulting in cardiac arrest. The patient underwent damage control, exploratory laparotomy complicated by acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and the novel use of direct peritoneal resuscitation in the setting of an acute abdomen with an uncontrolled enterotomy and bowel spillage. Our case report illustrates the importance of prompt surgical intervention and critical care with the application of novel surgical techniques to minimize mortality in an unusual presentation of Chron’s disease.

Fatal outcomes in visceral syphilis are now rare. The article presents data on the epidemiology, nosological forms of visceral syphilis and the description of the lethal outcome. In observations, late syphilis was characterized by multiple organ lesions (heart, brain, skin), but the leading clinical manifestations referred to neurosyphilis and cardiovascular syphilis. The diagnosis of visceral syphilis was established intra-vitam and at autopsy on the basis of a characteristic morphological picture (detection of gummas) and positive test results for antibodies to Treponema pallidum.
