Digital turn in pop music from the Republic of Moldova: some observations
Authors: Tcacenco Victoria
Published: December 2024

The author’s aim is to briefly review the fundamental technological transformation that took place in world musical practice between 1980s-2020s; to introduce the definitions “the first digital turn” and “the second digital turn”; to study their influence on the Moldovan pop music of the last five decades. The “first digital turn” determined the application of synthesizer-based keyboards, electronic drums, and MIDI protocol, which radically changed the musical practice. An example of this type is the sound recording process of the rock-opera Miorița, written by Liviu Știrbu, by using Roland U-110 and Yamaha PSS-150.The “second digital turn” in Moldovan pop music at the beginning of the 21st century is associated with massive use of online platforms and streaming services.“ Sub pielea mea” and “Eroina” by Carla’s Dream have obtained world audience on Shazam and YouTube. Another trend in Moldovan pop-music is related with new amateurs, who create a sound content using possibilities of digital tools; the soundtracks of the Moldovan vlogger Vova Carmanov being examples of this kind.
The image of a musician in the works of Ukrainian artists of the Pugachevsky dynasty
Authors: Romanenkova Yuliia , Ursu Nataliya
Published: December 2024

The article is focused on the representation of musical motifs and the image of a musician in the works of Ukrainian artists, representatives of the Kyiv school, Arkady (father) and Gennady (son) Pugachevsky. The artistic activity of these masters is positioned as a method of popularizing Ukrainian art in the foreign artistic space. The main storylines of free graphics, printed graphics, and small sculptures of the artists are analyzed. The problem of preserving the classical traditions of letterpress printing techniques is being updated. The image of a musician is emphasized as one of the main ones in the work of Arkady and Gennady Pugachevsky; examples of works in different types and genres of art based on musical motifs are analyzed. A variant of the classification of such works is proposed, the interpenetration of methods of creating an image in music and plastic arts, the artist’s tools borrowed from the musical sphere, the musician’s palette and the sound of color and line are emphasized. The analysis is based on small bronze sculptures, plastic engravings by Arkady Pugachevsky, watercolors and drawings by Gennady Pugachevsky.
Identity Values and Cultural Memory in Contemporary Kyrgyz Cinema
Authors: Dulghieru Elena
Published: December 2024

The study examines the subject of several fiction feature films awarded at the first Bishkek International Film Festival (November 17-21, 2023). These films exalt the identity values and the cultural memory of Kyrgyz people and of other neighbored Central-Asian peoples, in order to put the question: “Which are conceptually these identity values?” and “Which are the narrative situations and the hero types that better emphasize them?” After identifying several such identity values, the study focuses on the motif or even the archetype of the abandoned child, a frequent motif in the films mentioned above. Through an effort to mature his conscience, but also with the support of an adult spiritual mentor, the abandoned child morally rises above the adults who abandoned him due to negligence or selfishness, becoming himself their potential spiritual savior. The study starts from the premise that a local and relatively young cinema industry, like the Kyrgyz one or generally the Central-Asian one, which hasn’t yet axiologically dissolved into the current of globalization, cannot be correctly and plenary understood without a deep knowledge of the cultural and civilizational background that generated it. Film analysis is therefore interwoven with anthropological analysis and cultural theory.
Nicolae Esinencu – the spiritual leader of Moldovan cinema at the end of the millennium
Authors: Plamadeala Ana-Maria
Published: December 2024

The topicality and theoretical value of the paper is endorsed by the awareness of a phenomenon too little analyzed in filmology: the transfiguration of the latest stage of the Moldovan film through the genuistic and stylistic innovations of the writer and filmmaker Nicolae Esinencu, especially by not returning to the cinematic parable in various genres forbidden by the communist censorship. Following modern paradigms of psycho-biographies, the author captures the dialogue between the displayed terribleness of Nicolae Esinencu and the repulsions of a late romantic. However, the ideational-aesthetic genesis of Esinencu’s poetics turns out to be related to an explosive universe, focused, equally, on the mytho-folkloric emancipation of Ion Creangă, but also on the nihilism of the absurdist style of Eugen Ionescu. It is the clairvoyance of the artist’s sensibility that guides him to seek the existential answer in the ancestral paradigms of the nation. The three referred-to films that appeared on the cinematographic horizon in the last decades of the millennium, widen the area of cinematic knowledge through the spectrum of “wounded identity” (M. Pollak), detecting in the obscurity of insular abandonment some shipwrecked evidence, such as the duel between homo naturalis and fascist beasts (The wooden cannon), the old parents condemned to the sign of King Lear (The green soles), the impossibility of breathing in the homeland, the deoxygenation and spiritual disinheritance of the young generations (The Whirlwind).
Innovations of the metacognitive strategy for developing actor’s plasticity. Case study
Authors: Ermicioi Nina
Published: December 2024

The aim of this article is to explore the specifics of the approach that was developed and applied by the ZaO Theatre Improvisation Studio (Chisinau, Moldova) while outlining the context of metacognitive strategies that have become the modern basis for an actor’s plastic development. Modern methods of cultivating plastic expressiveness are deeply connected with the renewal of the theatrical ritual in the 20th century (Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski). Following the concept of theater as a conductor of spiritual experience, ZaO-Studio’s meditativeanalytical technique creates new possibilities for liberation and deepening of bodily expressiveness. These possibilities vary the influence of Eastern philosophy and meditative practices in the aspect of non-linearity and paradoxicality of theatrical forms and stories. The genre of improvisational drama, which the Studio is developing, awakens in actors the skill of spontaneous creation of plastic images and algorithms. Thus, the experience of ZaO-Studio is of interest for research and application in this aspect.

Citrullus lanatus thunb. (watermelon) belonging to the Curcubitaceae family, is the most important crops worldwide. The present work aims to estimate the polyphenolic content, anti-inflammatory and antiulcer properties, in addition to the antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of watermelon flesh fruit. The ethanolic extract of watermelon fruit contains secondary metabolites, polyphenols, flavonoids and tannins. Reducing power test and 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) scavenging assay were used to measure the antioxidant activity. In the two tests that were examined, watermelon ethanolic extract demonstrated a potent antioxidant potential. Pretreatment of rats with watermelon extract at the doses of 200 and 600 mg·kg-1 demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory effect and decreased carrageenan induced paw edema, with inhibition percentages of 57.24 ± 3.18 and 69.00 ± 2.80%, respectively. However, the doses 50, 200, and 600 mg·kg-1 of watermelon extract pretreated to rats reduced gastric mucosal injury on ethanol induced acute gastric ulcer with percentages protection of 75.01 ± 0.77, 92.38 ± 2.98 and 95.01 ± 0.81% compared to omeprazole (95.92%). This study revealed that watermelon fruit consumption could be a promising anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective agents.

Published: December 2024

環境中若能提供人們足夠的寧適感受，可使到訪者獲得注意力恢復、負面情緒舒緩以及得到心理平靜而身心放鬆。但目前研究關於寧適環境的描述與構成因子的了解尚不完全，且多數實驗仍以室內模擬體驗來進行，對於探討真實環境中之寧適感的感受，以及該環境對負面情緒之影響仍然十分有限。因此本研究目的以現地調查方式探討景觀環境視聽覺因子與寧適感、負面情緒和注意力恢復的關係，以及該環境對心率之影響。研究邀請390位受測者於校園進行行走體驗三十分鐘，並以穿戴式裝置即時記錄個體心率變化、座標位置、環境音量以及即時心理問卷來量測寧適感和注意力恢復感受，同時記錄研究參與者在環境活動時所觀看的畫面，以進行環境綠視率、天空可見性及遭遇人數分析評估。研究結果顯示當景觀環境中的綠視率愈高且鄰近水體環境時，個體的寧適感受程度愈高。然而，環境音量愈高、綠視率愈低、遭遇人數愈多時，個體容易感到焦慮；景觀環境的遭遇人數愈少時，個體容易感到壓力；景觀開闊度愈高且遭遇人數愈多時，個體的注意力恢復感知程度愈低；環境音量愈高、綠視率愈高、景觀開闊度愈低，個體的心率會較緩和。本研究從校園環境之視聽覺因子對健康影響進行深入的探究，並建立了健康環境量測方法，以提供校園管理者及規劃設計者相關指引原則。

 

Numbers of researches indicate the environments which can provide tranquility also provide restorative effects to restore people from attention fatigue, negative emotions, and facilitate people to feel peaceful and quiet. Researches for characterizing tranquil environments are still lacking and are still measuring the tranquility by laboratory survey. There are a few numbers of researches for exploring the relation between tranquility and environment audiovisual elements which were measured by field survey. The purpose of this study is to explore the relation between environmental audiovisual elements with tranquility, negative emotions, perceived restorativeness, and heart rates by on-site surveys. 390 participants were invited to walk around a campus for 30 minutes, and wearable devices were used to continuously record the heart rates, G.P.S., environmental sound and fill out the questionnaire of tranquility, perceived restorative scales by pop-quiz. Videos were also recorded to evaluate green view index, sky view factor, and the number of people encountered. Results indicated that a higher green view rate in the environment, especially near water, enhanced the sense of tranquility. However, higher environmental sound levels, lower green view rates, and more encounters with people increased feelings of anxiety. Fewer encounters with people in the environment led to feelings of stress. Environments with higher openness and more encounters with people reduced perceptions of restorativeness. The heart rates were found to be more moderate with higher environmental volume, higher green view rates, and lower landscape openness. This study conducts an in-depth investigation into the effects of audiovisual factors from the campus environment on health. It also establishes a method for assessing healthy environments to offer guiding principles for campus administrators and planning designers.

Authors: 趙又嬋 趙又嬋 , Yu-Chan Chao 蔡欣妤
Published: December 2024

本研究主要探討建築從業人員對於減碳設計手法之「設計可行性」、「減碳效益」與「使用意願」之認知情形。首先歸納常用的30項減碳設計手法，再取得101份有效問卷進行統計與差異分析。結果顯示，減碳認知得分大致呈現「減碳效益」與「使用意願」高於「設計可行性」之情形，而「高效率燈具」、「省水設備」、「變頻系統主機」、「建築遮陽設計」與「高效率空調」是獲得整體認知高分的設計手法。減碳設計手法的認知差異整體以「設計可行性」較為顯著，尤其對應建築從業人員的「年齡」與「教育程度」的部分。若將實際減碳效益與認知結果進行比較，「自然通風」與「熱泵系統」則是被低估的減碳手法。雖然減碳手法能否落實設計，可能受到其他內外部因素的影響，但減碳設計的瞭解度與使用意願呈現正相關，建議未來應加強減碳策略的教育與推廣，將減碳認知化為具體行動。

 

This study primarily investigates the awareness of architecture professionals regarding the feasibility, carbon reduction benefits, and their willingness to implement carbon reduction design techniques. A compendium of 30 carbon reduction design strategies was initially curated, and 101 valid questionnaires were collected for analysis. The results showed that the willingness to implement these strategies and the expected carbon reduction benefits received higher ratings than the perceived feasibility of implementation. Notably, design techniques such as ’high-efficiency lighting,’ ’water-saving equipment,’ ’variable frequency system controllers,’ ’architectural shading design,’ and ’high-efficiency HVAC systems’ received high overall scores. Moreover, disparities in feasibility of carbon reduction design were accentuated, primarily concerning the demographic factors of ’age’ and ’educational level.’ The positive correlation between the understanding of carbon reduction design and the willingness to implement it suggests the importance of enhancing education and promotion of carbon reduction strategies.

The Role of Work Culture Based on Local Wisdom of Ide to Malaqbi and Bureaucratic Reform in Enhancing the Effectiveness of Public Service Performance
Authors: Mustikasari Visi Denok , Supriyono Bambang , Riyanto Riyanto , Wike Wike
Published: December 2024

The erosion of local wisdom values has led to challenges in adopting local culture as a standard for work and behavior among government officials. Particularly in the era of globalization, behavioral attitudes have shifted away from these values. Coworkers' achievements are no longer viewed as motivation but rather as tools for undermining others, and the sense of shame for making mistakes has diminished significantly. Therefore, this study on the adoption of the local culture Ide to Malaqbi as a work ethic alongside bureaucratic reform to enhance the effectiveness of public service performance represents a groundbreaking initiative in West Sulawesi entities. The respondents comprised 115 users of licensing and non-licensing services. Data collected and analyzed using the SEM-Amos method revealed that office service performance significantly improved when the local cultural concept of Malaqbi was adopted as a work ethic. This is attributed to the application of the Mandar ethnic community’s local values, which enhance motivation, communication, and create a more conducive work environment, ultimately leading to better work outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of public service office performance in aligning and integrating the Ide to Malaqbi culture, based on local wisdom, with bureaucratic reform. Good office performance facilitates the integration of local values with the structural and procedural changes brought about by bureaucratic reform, thereby improving the quality of public services and ensuring these services meet the needs and expectations of the community.

The decision-making process during the response to a call for tender is a critical phase for organizations, as it aims to utilize information about the company's external environment to support informed and strategic decisions. Typically, this information is represented as a list of potential risks that must be assessed and managed throughout the decision-making process. However, identifying risks associated with the business or external environment often lacks robust methodological frameworks, leading to gaps in risk management and decision support. This challenge defines the axis and scope of our contribution. In this context, we propose a comprehensive approach to enhance risk identification and analysis during the decision-making stages of responding to a call for tender (RCT). Our approach is structured to identify and analyze risks at different decision-making levels, providing a systematic methodology for their assessment. Central to this contribution are three key components: a decision model, a risk model, and two interrelated processes, one for decision analysis and the other for risk identification. The proposed decision model provides a structured framework for evaluating the tender, while the risk model offers a detailed taxonomy and characterization of risks. The decision analysis process facilitates the systematic evaluation of information and potential scenarios, and the risk identification process enables the proactive collection and categorization of risks derived from the analysis of the call for tender. Together, these components provide an integrated solution to support decision-makers in identifying, understanding, and mitigating risks, ultimately leading to more informed and resilient decision-making during the RCT process.

The quality of surface water from the Babar Dam in Khenchela province, northeastern Algeria, was assessed using monthly physicochemical data collected from July 2018 to June 2019. This study aimed to evaluate the water's suitability for both drinking and agricultural purposes. For the drinking water assessment, two water quality indices, the Water Quality Index (WQI) and the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME-WQI), were employed. The WQI results indicated that 99% of the monitoring stations consistently had good quality water, while only 1% showed permissible quality throughout the year, meeting the standard criteria for drinking water. In contrast, the CCME-WQI classified the water as marginal at all stations, suggesting that while the water met the basic standards for human consumption, certain parameters such as conductivity and specific ion concentrations fell outside the ideal range, potentially requiring treatment for improved quality. These findings highlight the overall suitability of the water for consumption but also emphasize the need for continued monitoring and possible intervention to ensure water quality remains consistently safe for all uses.

This article proposes direct torque control using space vector modulation DTC-SVM. This control strategy is preferred over other solutions, to guarantee performance and reduce torque and flux ripples. In order to better illustrate the effect of C-DTC and DTC-SVM control on the power quality, a spectral analysis of the stator currents THD has been carried out. The simulation results of the proposed controllers are compared for torque changes and flux. It is shown that DTC-SVM has several characteristics, such as simple algorithm, good dynamic response, constant switching frequency. The results proved excellent performance and verify the validity of the proposed system. The behavior of the proposed DTC-SVM scheme is fully verified using Matlab/Simulink software.

Published: December 2024

Heightened security concerns and better affordability have driven the proliferation of video surveillance systems. Developing advanced CCTV cameras capable of real-time analysis of behavioral patterns to find abnormal patterns is highly anticipated and will help avert hazardous incidents. Deep Learning approaches, specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture-based approaches, have been extensively used for anomaly detection tasks in video analytics. The study results from research applying diversified Inception V4 transfer learning methodologies to accurately and efficiently identify abnormal activities in video surveillance systems. This study utilized the Inception V4 framework to classify video keyframes that are representative of normal or abnormal behavior. This paper will elaborate on applying transfer learning techniques of pre-training and fine-tuning, which will employ the required attributes from the input information to build a specialized predictor. The effectiveness of the presented models was evaluated through experimental studies that utilized UCF-Crime data for training and testing. Metrics, such as accuracy, recall, precision, and F1 scores, were employed as evaluation criteria to assess the performance of each model. The Fine-Tuned (F-T) model demonstrated performance metrics of 930%, 91.74%, 88.33%, and 90.01%, whereas the Pre-trained (P-T) model showed 88.70%, 88.93%, 87.12%, and 88.02%, respectively. These findings suggest that Transfer Learning (TL), employing the Inception V4 architecture, can effectively distinguish between normal and abnormal video behaviors. Moreover, adjusting the weights of particular layers through fine-tuning can improve the performance.

Renewable energy sources now play a crucial role in meeting the world's growing energy needs sustainably. These sources, such as solar and wind energy, help reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment, making them an essential component of future energy strategies. In this paper, one of swarms’ intelligences algorithms called particle swarm optimization (PSO) and one of the most general bio-inspired metaheuristic methods called BAT algorithm are applied to determine the optimal placement and sizing of renewable distributed generators (OPSRDG) in distributed network. The focus is on enhancing energy efficiency and reduced dependency on the main grid by reducing power losses, improved voltage profile, enhanced reliability, stability enhancing the overall system stability and performance of the grid. Compared with recently published results, the obtained results are promising and demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach to solve OPSRDG problems. When the DG units are optimally integrated into the system, the power loss reductions ranged from 48.23% to 71.57%. This represents a significant improvement over conventional methods, making it a promising contribution to society and academia.

The large-scale development of photovoltaic electrical energy is still conditional on lowering the cost of solar cells and increasing their efficiency. Since the realization of the first photovoltaic cell, several research works have been initiated to solve this problem, especially thin film solar cells. Thin film solar cells represent promising approaches for cutting production costs include the use of thin films solar cells. This generation's benefit is that they frequently employ semiconductor materials with direct band gaps, which have exceptionally high absorption coefficients. In this context, thin film solar cells based on a material (CZTS) play a role at low cost. CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) is a quaternary semiconductor of the I2-II-IV-VI4 type, it is composed of abundant materials. It is a new type of absorber for thin film solar cells. Copper-zinc-tin-sulfur (CZTS) is a semiconductor with excellent photovoltaic properties such as direct gap, high absorption coefficient, and has an optimal band energy highly desired in photovoltaic material. In addition, the cells using CZTS are non-toxic and inexpensive materials. Currently, several researches have been devoted to develop and improve the electrical characteristics (particularly efficiency) of CZTS solar cells which show a theoretical limit efficiency of 32.4 % Shockley Quisser, while the experimental efficiency is 14.9% In this paper, we propose a potential efficiency Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)/CdS (CZTS) solar cell design based on graded band-gap that can offer the benefits of improved absorption behavior and reduced recombination effects. Moreover, our approach is based on analytical modeling to determine the optimal band gap profile of the absorber layer of the CZTS material to improve the photovoltaic conversion efficiency. The results of this study show that the use of a graded layer shows a decrease the recombination rate which leads to an increase in current from 22.16 mA/cm2 (for a standard CZTS cell) to 30 mA/cm2 (for a graded cell) and by therefore an improvement in efficiency from 10.9 % to 15.25 %

Authors: Sliman Gougue , Tahar Mansouri , Sami Zidelmel
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the effect of martensite morphologies on the corrosion behavior of X52 dual-phase steel when exposed to seawater. The steel underwent three different heat treatments: direct quenching (DQ), step quenching (SQ), and intermediate quenching (IQ) at 760°C and 800°C, in order to achieve varying martensite structures. The direct quenching (DQ) treatment resulted in the formation of fine martensite, evenly distributed throughout the ferrite matrix. The intermediate quenching (IQ) treatment led to the formation of martensite along the ferrite/ferrite grain boundaries. In contrast, the step quenching (SQ) treatment produced a banded morphology of martensite and ferrite. We studied the corrosion behavior using Tafel polarization techniques in a saltwater solution. We observed that the morphology and quantity of martensite influence the corrosion behavior. The corrosion rate of the direct quenching (DQ) treatment was lower compared to that of the step quenching (SQ), intermediate quenching (IQ), and the initial untreated state.
