Impact of Economic Variables on Retirement Planning of Salaried Employees
Authors: Mittal Gourav , Gupta Pardeep
Published: December 2022

Despite the inclusion of economic variables in retirement studies, limited studies look at the impact on the retirement planning of salaried employees. It is important to understand the economic variables before planning for retirement considering how they affect retirement planning. Therefore, the Current study tries to assess the impact of the economic variables on the retirement planning behavior of salaried employees. For this purpose, the study has collected the primary data using a structured questionnaire from 312 salaried employees working in five Institutions in Haryana state. The study employed the One-way ANOVA and Independent T-test for data analysis. The result of the study indicates that economic variables have a direct and substantial impact on the retirement planning behavior of salaried employees. The result also indicates the importance of awareness programs for retirement planning. Real estate as compared to other investment options, has become a most important asset for retirement planning. Purposive sampling was used because there was no population frame, hence findings cannot be generalised to the population. Despite all efforts to be objective, there is still a chance of subjectivity in some situations. The paper's findings may be helpful to policymakers as they evaluate how to improve the quality of investment advice and give valuable information for investing decisions.

Authors: Díaz Loyo Carlos Eduardo , Zárraga Ramírez Egledys Guadalupe
Published: December 2022

La producción de caricaturas comúnmente está asociada a la exposición de contenidos que hace referencia a una crítica hacia el contexto sociopolítico. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la memoria discursiva presente en cinco caricaturas sobre migración de Eduardo Sanabria a partir de la perspectiva teórica de análisis del discurso de la línea francesa, siguiendo las contribuciones de Michel Pêcheux. Para ello, se tomó tal corpus de caricaturas posteadas en el mes de octubre de 2020 en la cuenta oficial de Twitter del caricaturista Eduardo Sanabria, tomando como criterio de selección el contexto de crisis sociopolítica en Venezuela (condiciones de producción). Las interpretaciones realizadas denotan la existencia de una memoria discursiva enmarcada en la migración venezolana como resultado de la situación sociopolítica del país. Cada caricatura representa la posición crítica del autor ante el gobierno del presidente Nicolás Maduro, considerándolo como causante del proceso migratorio venezolano.
Minoridad y escritura. La poética kafkiana en respiración artificial (1980) de Ricardo Piglia
Authors: Camperos García Karlin Andrés
Published: December 2022

En este artículo, examinamos los rasgos resaltantes de la poética de Franz Kafka en los contenidos estéticos y políticos plasmados en Respiración artificial de Ricardo Piglia. En este sentido, analizamos las nociones deleuzeanas de literatura menor y micropolítica conjuntamente con la poética de la Relación (Glissant, 2002). El avance teórico de Glissant está relacionado pragmáticamente con los preceptos de la micropolítica deleuzeana en algunos de sus conceptos básicos (segmentaridad, identidades de raíz y de rizoma). Hemos utilizado una metodología documental que revisa teóricamente las posibilidades de lectura ofrecidas en la escritura kafkiana y pigliana y destaca esencialmente el rol del lector. Concluimos con el hallazgo de una estética experimental que despliega rasgos de proyección de lo minoritario a través de discursos que muestran tensiones culturales y lingüísticas evidentes y, de forma particular, exhiben nuevas identidades étnicas presentes en el contexto global (caos-mundo) de las últimas décadas.
The Basic Structure Doctrine and Constitutional Restraint in Uganda: The “Age Limit” Case
Authors:   Makerere University - Uganda, Tusasirwe Benson
Published: December 2022

This Article discusses the scope and application of the Basic Structure Doctrine, against the background of the judgment of the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court of Uganda in the case of Male Mabirizi Kiwanuka and Others v. Attorney General, wherein the two courts found that an amendment to the Constitution of Uganda removing the “age-limit” qualification to stand for president did not violate the Doctrine and was valid. It is argued that given Uganda’s political history the clause, which was designed to prevent the sitting president from taking advantage of his incumbency to perpetuate himself in power, was part of the basic structure of the Constitution. As it was, the impugned amendment removed the last measure against a life presidency, and is a recipe for instability. The court decisions were a missed opportunity to assert the power of the Judiciary as the foremost defender of constitutionalism and the rule of law. Keywords: Basic Structure, Constitution, Constitutionalism, amendment, age-limit, life-presidency.

Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam School of Law, Jesse James
Published: December 2022

The Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania enacted the Media Services Act on 5 November 2016 and the President assented to it two weeks later. The Act was enacted largely for the purposes of promoting professionalism in the media industry, regulating media services in the country, establishing the Journalist Accreditation Board and establishing the Media Services Council. Media stakeholders and Civil Society Organisations criticized the Act, arguing that it was meant to muzzle media freedom in the country contrary to the prevailing human rights standards. In January 2017 these organisations filed a case at the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) challenging the said law. After hearing both parties, i.e., the Applicants and the State Attorneys who represented the Attorney General of Tanzania, on 28 March 2019 the First Instance Division of the EACJ made a judgement to the effect that the Tanzania Media Services Act unjustifiably infringe the freedom of expression which is one of the human rights standards Partner States to the East African Community are required to respect and protect. This article provides critical analysis of the decision. Key words: Freedom of expression, press freedom, criminal defamation, sedition, proportionality test.

Aims: The study was conducted to (i) determine the effectiveness of the local-based food security intervention in improving the knowledge and practice of mothers in infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, and (ii) assess the effectiveness of the intervention in improving the nutritional status of children under five years in two communes in Lao Cai province.
Methods: The open community intervention was conducted from 2014 to 2016 on all children under five years old and their primary caregivers in Thao Chu Phin and Ban Pho commune, Lao Cai province. Care Group consisted of 10-12 mothers/primary caregivers, and Village Kitchen consisted of a group of women in the village, were established and met weekly to enhance rice powder production and peer communication activities in the communes. All 150 and 194 pairs of child-primary caregiver at baseline and the end of the intervention, respectively were assessed for children’s weight and height, and primary caregivers’ knowledge, attitude, and practices on IYCF.
Results: The prevalence of stunting significantly reduced at the conclusion of the intervention, from 59.3 to 43.5% in Ban Pho commune (p<0.01) and from 73.3% to 53.0% in Thao Chu Phin commune (p<0.001). Anthropometric indicators, except for weight, improved at the end of the study (all p<0.05). The proportion of primary caregivers who had correct knowledge about food diversity for complementary feeding significantly increased from 15.5% to 56.9% (p<0.001). More food was given to children for complementary feeding (all p<0.05).
Conclusions: The intervention of local-based food security and enhancing group communication was effective in improving the knowledge, attitude, and practice of primary caregivers on IYCF, anthropometric indicators, and in reducing childhood stunting.

Published: December 2022

Aims: To identify the hypertension status and its nutritional associated factors in adults in two coastal communes of Nghe An province.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1170 adults aged 40-69 years in Nghi Thinh and Nghi Thai communes, Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province. General information, blood pressure, anthropometry, salt intake behavior, alcohol consumption frequency, and disease history were collected. The hypertensive prevalence was adjusted for age-sex structure of population. Multilogistic regression analysis was applied to test several models for the association of hypertension to socio–economic conditions, body mass index and waist circumference, high salt intake behavior, and frequency of alcohol consumption.
Results: The age- and sex-adjusted prevalence (95%CI) of hypertension status was 46.3 (42.6-50.0), 11.3 (9.12-14.0), 18.1 (15.1-21.5), 7.97 (6.11-10.3), 16.3 % (13.7-19.3), respectively, in normal, hight-normal, grade 1 hypertension, grade 2 hypertension, and previous diagnosed with current use of antihypertensive drugs. There were still 61.5% of hypertensive subjects without knowing the condition. The independent associated factors of hypertension were age, sex, obese status, vegetable and fruit intake/day (<5 units/day), high salt intake behavior, alcohol consumption (> 1 time/week), previously diagnosed dyslipidemia and family members with hypertension.
Conclusions: The study indicates the high hypertension prevalence in the coastal communes. The most important associated factors for hypertension should be given a great attention in controlling hypertension in the population.
EVALUATION OF THE MARGINAL ACCURACY IN PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL COPINGS FABRICATED IN TWO DIFFERENT FINISH LINES USING THREE DIFFERENT DIE MATERIALS -A STEREOMICROSCOPIC ANALYSIS AS A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: JOSHI SUBHA , TEWARI SHIV SAGAR , VASWANI DR.PRIYA LAXMAN
Published: December 2022

Introduction: In the 20th century itself innovative techniques and materials were introduced for the fabrication of restorations that accurately fit over the prepared surface of the tooth. To fabricate these restorations, various materials like metals, alloys, resins, and ceramics were used. Regarding the different materials, metals and alloys have the advantage of superior strength, but for color, it is esthetically not acceptable. Due to a lack of esthetic value metals are replaced by ceramics.

Objective: To compare the effect of two different marginal geometries shoulder and deep chamfer on metal-ceramic copings fabricated with the use of three different die materials Conventional Type IV Gypsum, epoxy resin, resin-modified Gypsum (Synthetic Gypsum).

Methods: Two ivorine mandibular first molars were prepared using diamond points for receiving Full veneer porcelain fused to metal restorations. The two designs of circumferential finish evaluated in this study were shoulder and deep chamfer.

Results: Tests specimen fabricated on 3 groups of die material each having shoulder and deep chamfer finish line were analyzed under a stereomicroscope at four points, following results of vertical marginal gaps in μm were recorded.

Conclusion: It is thus concluded from the above study that dies fabricated using three different materials in two different finish lines i.e shoulder and deep chamfer did not exhibit a statistically significant difference in terms of marginal accuracy and either of these finish lines can opt for fabrication of metal-ceramic restorations.
Soviet Musicology: Pro et Contra. Work on Archival Materials from the Soviet Era
Authors:   Russian Gnesins’ Academy of Music, Naumenko Tatiana I.
Published: December 2022

The article describes the process of work on researching Soviet musicology of the time period from the 1920s to the 1940s. The study was carried out under the RFBR project “The Phenomenon of Soviet Musicology and Its Influence on the Formation of Russian Musical Culture.” The history of Soviet musicology is studied on the basis of archival documents that make it possible to reconstruct little-known historical events, and also to characterize the peculiarities of musicology in the context of each decade. The first post-revolutionary decade passed under the sign of the search for its own academic scholarly institutions, which were alternately made available and then closed down, in accordance with the state policy. However, it was during this period that the fundamental foundations of 20th century Russian musicological thought were laid. Of special interest is the work on creating a complex of tutorial literature. Starting from 1936 (since the time of the creation of the All-Union Committee for the Affairs of Art), work on creating textbooks has become one of the main forms of scholarly activity of the musicological departments of the Moscow and Leningrad Conservatories, later the Gnesins’ State Musical Pedagogical Institute and the Institute of Art History of the USSR Academy of Sciences (presently, the State Institute of Art Studies), both established in 1944. Discussions of issues of paramount importance – such as the historical periodization of Russian music history, the content and methodology of training courses, – frequently took place for many days in a row, with the results of the discussion reflected in the central newspapers and magazines. The transcripts of these sessions, in certain cases, exceed 1,500 pages. An important direction of this research was also the study of the main directions in the development of musicology. Along with the creation of textbooks, monographs and other academic works, dissertation work began in the 1930s–1940s. This contributed to a great extent to the integration of musicology into the general scholarly humanitarian field. In the same period, numerous discussions of new Soviet compositions began – primarily, operas and symphonies.
Major Trends in the Development of Choral Music by the Western European Avant-Garde of the 1960s
Authors:   Russian Gnesins’ Academy of Music, Ryzhinsky Alexander S.
Published: December 2022

The article contains information on the main directions of the development of choral music of Western European avant-garde composers of the 1960s. The turning of attention to choral music of that particular decade is due to the considerable number of innovations that received dissemination in the musical compositions of Karlheinz Stokhausen, Luigi Nono, Mauricio Kagel, György Ligeti and a number of other composers associated with the Summer Courses of New Music in Darmstadt. Among these innovations are: phoneme composition, micropolyphony, stereophonic effects achieved by timbre modulation, by means of special dispositions of performers or by application of actually performed and previously recorded music. A study is made of the issues of texture organization, timbre-articulation techniques, as well as problems of interaction between words and music. The author aims not only to summarize the information on the vectors of the evolution of choral writing, but also to illustrate the connection between the experiments of the 1960s and the concrete solutions of choral composition in the following decades. For this aim, examination is made of the textual foundations of choral compositions, the phenomenon of phonemic composition, and the expansion of the techniques of vocal articulation, – which presented an important resource of development of the possibilities of choral timbres – as well as new textural solutions. As the result, the conclusion is arrived at that in the 1960s the composers rejected the traditional approach of “setting the literary source to music.” Instead of this, they combine simultaneously various verbal sets or “press together” the fragments of several initial source texts. A powerful source for disclosing the resources of traditional vocalization and intoning speech turned out to be a diverse incorporation of Sprechgesang. The multifaceted aspects in the correlation of music and the verbal text, the inclusion of the principles of phonemic composition and the development of techniques of speech also exerted their influence on the textural organization of the choral compositions. In their high textural-timbral mobility of vocal lines the author disclosed the dynamic stereo effect of stereomonody. The indicated innovation of the art of choral music of the 1960s make it possible to examine this decade as a focal point of solution of successful the multifarious artistic and technical aims which are conducive here to transforming the art of choral music into one of the most dynamic genres of the last decades of the 20th century and the early 21st century.
Early Italian Opera Within the Labyrinths of Postmodernity
Authors:   Russian Gnesins’ Academy of Music, Lutsker Pavel V. , Susidko Irina P. ,   Russian Gnesins’ Academy of Music
Published: December 2022

The article is focused on certain critical questions of the position of early Italian opera in contemporary culture. For a long time both performers and scholars considered it as an outdated genre meriting only historical interest. This state of affairs began to change in the 1970s, when a series of facsimiles prepared by Garland Publishing revealed a certain number of published opera scores and librettos. Over the past 50 years, three trends have emerged in the scholarly approach to early Italian operas. The first is that of deconstruction of the prevailing and largely erroneous stereotypes. The second is that of reconstruction, filling in the gaps of knowledge (compilation of encyclopedias, catalogues, works on the history of opera, and monographs about composers). The third is that of interpretation of the 17th- and 18th-century European musical and theatrical heritage in the context of culture and style. In this regard, a special position is held by the issue of performance interpretation. The postmodern era has transformed the early opera from an antique rarity into a topical musical and theatrical phenomenon. The dimension has opened up for directorial experiments aimed at projecting this genre onto the topical problems of today, bringing it closer to the perception of the mass of listeners – each and every one. The plotlines based on ancient myths and historical legends, conventional comedic and farcical situations referring to the earliest literary specimens are easily adapted to the realities of the modern theater: one convention becomes replaced by another, the wigs and camisoles of the 18th-century singers are replaced by army camouflage. Most of these productions provide interpretations not so much of the early opera as such, but particularly of us, bringing our own existential fears and ambitions onto the stage, playing on our political sympathies and antipathies. But there also exists an opposite side. It finds expression in the manner of singing and instrumental playing which comes close to the norms of three and four centuries ago, i.e., historical performing practice, which in our conditions is perceived by everyone as exquisite, designed for the refined taste of the elite, and in this sense of the “aristocratic” listener, rather than the general masses. Thus, in many cases there arises a combination, which is paradoxical in its essence – an unreasonable duality. Interpretation of the essence of early Italian opera is becoming acutely relevant as the path for this art to regain its previously lost artistic integrity.
Interpretation of Genre in Tan Dun’s Opera Nine Songs

Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the issue of studying Tan Dun’s music in light of the theory of performativity. By the example of the composer’s early composition Nine Songs the changes which have appeared in the genre of opera under the impact of live art performance as a new type of theatrical performance. The composition has designed artistic precepts which are also characteristic for other musical-theatrical oeuvres by the composer: specific work with the poetic text directed at destroying the linear logic of the subject and the cause and effect connections; vocalization based on connecting the techniques of the Italian operatic bel canto and the traditional Chinese qupai; a synthesis of music, an abstract poetic text and motions, gestures permeated with symbolism. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that the interpretation of the genre presented in Tan Dun’s Nine Songs goes far beyond the boundaries of academic traditions of representation of opera. In the poetic text of the libretto the composer deliberately dilutes the meanings encumbered in the primary source, which is achieved by means of infringement of the logic of narration, by accentuating the musicality in the sound of words detrimentally for their communicative function. In the dramaturgy, built with a reliance on the collage method and with an absence of a storyline narrative, the culminations and falls occur spontaneously. The music is endowed with suggestive traits indispensable for creation of an effect of emergence and together with the poetic text and the scenography does not call for conveying any concrete meanings. In this composition the role of the audience is interpreted specifically. The latter assumes the position of active participants of the events, rather than passive observers, and experience a liminal state, the departure from which is connected with an independent construction of the composition’s meanings.

HISTÓRIA DA IGREJA: INTERESSE RELIGIOSO X INTERESSE POLÍTICO
Authors: Pereira Edmon
Published: December 2022

Objeto desse estudo consiste em Analisar a história da Igreja numa visão panorâmica entre Igreja e Estado. Faço uma apresentação do processo de historização da igreja desde o seu advento (Século I) até o período das cruzadas, mostrando o quanto a Igreja Católica foi importante para a formação da humanidade e como sua presença é contínua no cenário político mundial, em especial na Europa. Estamos em um período em que religião e política estão em campos distintos. A secularização do preparativo jurídico-político do Estado, além de repetir novamente a autonomia e a supremacia do direito em tangencia a outras maneiras de ordens normativas, reduziria a pretensão dos grupos religiosos de infundirem suas normas a todo o conjunto da sociedade. Mesmo a constituição e leis pátrias afirmando de forma sólida a separação entre os campos político e religioso, o intercâmbio e decorrências múltiplas entre estas duas veemências da vida social é muito presente. As relações entre religião e política, no Brasil, excedem diferentes períodos e contextos, incidindo por readaptações e transformações consecutivas e dialogando estreitamente com as categorias sociais, políticas e econômicas.
POLÍTICA PÚBLICA: ESCOLA EM TEMPO INTEGRAL NA REDE MUNICIPAL
Authors: Henrique Francinéria
Published: December 2022

Este estudo apresenta a possibilidade de articulação entre a educação fundamental e a jornada ampliada e diversificada do Programa Mais Educação instituído no Brasil em escala nacional em 2008, estratégia do Ministério da Educação (MEC) para a implementação da Educação Integral no Brasil. Faz um resgate histórico dos debates e das políticas da escola de turno integral no país, mostrando que a temática vem se consolidando. Apresenta o debate sobre políticas culturais, a partir da garantia dos direitos culturais. Defende que as áreas da educação e da cultura precisam interagir mais, com a escola sendo espaço fundamental para a democratização da cultura. Estuda o exemplo da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Augusto dos Anjos de João Pessoa, e sua experiência de articular as duas propostas no planejamento do Programa Mais Educação. A Escola planeja e vivencia processos de aprendizagens cognitivas e lúdicas adequadas às necessidades e interesses dos docentes e discentes á realidade local e aos saberes das iniciativas artísticas e culturais da comunidade.

RELIGIÃO, POLÍTICA E MIGRAÇÃO: IMPACTOS SOBRE AS ESTRUTURAS DOS ESTADOS CONTEMPORÂNEOS.
Authors: Rêgo Maktor
Published: December 2022

Este artigo tem por escopo analisar de forma sucinta as relações dialéticas que se estabelecem entre as esferas da política e da religião e seus consequentes impactos nos processos migratórios da contemporaneidade, bem como, tentarmos nos aperceber de que maneira estes processos são assimilados dentro das estruturas dos Estados e, verificarmos como as diferenças religiosas se refletem enquanto processo de estratificação social institucionalizado pelos estatutos legais - especificamente nos países do ocidente, autodeclarados como Estados laicos. Tentaremos examinar de forma sucinta como estas nuances entre esses universos aparentemente desconexos tem gerado crises institucionais profundas nas sociedades contemporâneas, bem como, pretendemos demonstrar de forma concreta a existência de um projeto de dissolução das instituições democráticas e republicanas com intuito de reestabelecer no ocidente uma ordem Teocrática, baseada no ancien régime, embora com uma nova roupagem.
A ABBA PAI CHURCH E A PANDEMIA COVID-19: NOVOS ENTRELAÇAMENTOS DA IGREJA PRESENTE NO CIBERESPAÇO
Authors: Rio Marlon
Published: December 2022

O presente estudo busca trazer indícios de como a igreja evangélica Abba Pai Church está se posicionando em sua ação teológica e filosófica dentro do ciberespaço, uma vez que a pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe diferentes abordagens para a igreja no cenário brasileiro (TAVARES, 2020; MAZZAROLO, ZANINI, 2021). Busca-se, em diálogo com a filosofia da religião, a área das tecnologias digitais e a teologia, traçar os caminhos em que a busca por Deus se manifesta dentro do espaço cibernético (SPADARO, 2011) por meio da análise de interações presentes no canal do YouTube da própria igreja, a qual também está presente em outros meios de comunicação no mundo virtual. Destarte, elencam-se diferentes meios pelos quais os fiéis buscam pelo divino não mais apenas no templo de pedra, mas, dentro dos aerópagos digitais presentes na contemporaneidade altamente midiatizada e global (PUNTEL, 2010).

The Potential Impact of the Vietnam - EFTA FTA on Vietnam Imports of Seafood
Authors: Ngoc Diep Nguyen , Tien Minh Chu
Published: December 2022

This paper assesses the potential impacts of the Vietnam - EFTA Free Trade Agreement (Vietnam – EFTA FTA) on Vietnam's seafood imports from the EFTA by adopting the SMART model based on two scenarios. The simulation results reveal that the Vietnam – EFTA FTA would result in a significant increase in Vietnam's seafood imports from the EFTA, implying that the EFTA would be still one of the most important seafood sources for Vietnam in the upcoming time. When Vietnam also extends its coverage of tariff elimination to ASEAN+5 including China Japan, South Korea, India, Australia – New Zealand having signed an FTA with ASEAN to which Vietnam is a country member and to the European Union (EU), which is Vietnam’s partner in the Vietnam – EU FTA (EVFTA), the reduction in Vietnam’s seafood imports from the EFTA would occur but it would be inconsiderable. Besides, in both scenarios, trade creation effects would be higher than trade diversion effects meaning that the Vietnam – EFTA FTA would raise the welfare of Vietnam. Based on these results, the paper ends by drawing out some implications for the Vietnamese government and domestic seafood enterprises to be better preparing for the upcoming Vietnam – EFTA FTA.
