СТВОРЕННЯ МУЗИКОЗНАВЧОЇ КОМІСІЇ НАУКОВОГО ТОВАРИСТВА ІМ. ШЕВЧЕНКА ЯК ЗАВЕРШЕННЯ ЕТАПУ СТАНОВЛЕННЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ МУЗИКОЛОГІЇ
Authors: Гнатишин Оксана
Published: June 2024

Обґрунтована актуальність вивчення діяльності Музикознавчої комісії Наукового товариства ім. Шевченка періоду її становлення в контексті розвитку української музикології. Зауважено, що попередній досвід репрезентації цілісного і багатовимірного образу НТШ, зокрема його Музикознавчої комісії як першого українського науково-музичного осередку академічного спрямування, не передбачав дослідження якості набутків її членів на тлі еволюції загальних знань про музику. Тепер здійснено аналіз планів і завдань, що постали перед українськими музикознавцями у середині 1930-х років. Вивчено досягнення членів Комісії — представників західноєвропейських музикознавчих шкіл — у період їхньої співпраці. Звернуто увагу на напрями наукової творчості кожного вченого, обрані методи досліджень об’єкта уваги, типи опублікованих ними праць. Як особливий (доти ігнорований) інтерес дослідників виділено українську церковну музику. Підкреслено вибір НТШівцями європейського шляху розвитку своєї галузі на основі аналітичного осмислення сутності музики на противагу запроваджуваному на підросійській Україні «радянському музикознавству» (з характерним для нього критичним оцінюванням готових творів на догоду панівній ідеології). Зазначається, що у виборі назви осередку вирішальну роль зіграло розуміння необхідності в умовах бездержавності заявляти про українську культуру зі своєю історією, самобутніми рисами, що викристалізовувалися у зв’язках із західноєвропейським мистецтвом. Звідси спеціальний інтерес до стилістики української музичної творчості, музичної естетики. За короткий (майже трирічний) час своєї діяльності члени Музикознавчої комісії НТШ переконливо довели, що українська наука про музику як окрема галузь до кінця 1940-х років повністю сформувалася і заклала потужний потенціал для свого майбутнього розвитку. Досліджувана корифеями тематика продовжує свій розвій і збагачується, а чимало цікавих ідей і сьогодні гідні вивчення.

Published: June 2024

The number of social media users and users accessing different social media platforms is increasing daily. For this reason, social media influencers and content marketing are increasingly important in businesses' marketing strategies. More studies on social media influencers and content marketing still need to be done since they are relatively new concepts. The research goal is to find out the impact of social media influencers and content marketing on online repurchase intention through brand trust and customer brand engagement in online shopping stores. These research findings generally found a significant positive direct impact of social media influencers and content marketing on brand trust, customer brand engagement, and online repurchase intention. The results found that content marketing was the most vital determinant of brand trust and customer brand engagement, followed by social media influencers. Additionally, brand trust is significantly influenced by customer brand engagement. Additionally, brand trust and customer brand engagement significantly and positively impacted online repurchase intention. Furthermore, social media influencers are identified as the most significant determinant of online repurchase intentions, followed by content marketing, brand trust, and customer brand engagement. The mediation analysis results revealed that customer brand engagement did not mediate the positive impact of social media influencers and content marketing on online repurchase intention. Additionally, it was found that brand trust mediates the positive impact of social media influencers and content marketing on online repurchase intentions. Future studies should continue to study social media influencers and content marketing since literature is scarce.
Investigación Cualitativa en los Estudios de Comunicación: Características, Objetos y Técnicas
Authors: Gloria Gómez-Escalonilla  , Alejandro Barranquero
Published: June 2024

Se presenta una fotografía de las investigaciones que en el campo de la comunicación en España utilizan los métodos cualitativos como perspectiva metodológica dominante. Se parte del análisis de contenido para analizar las características, objetos y técnicas dominantes en un censo de 1025 producciones científicas de 2007 a 2018, conformado por tesis doctorales, proyectos I+D y artículos de revistas científicas. En los resultados, contrasta la importancia que tienen estos métodos en las tesis doctorales y los proyectos de investigación frente a una mayor escasez de artículos académicos de corte cualitativo. Las tres producciones científicas analizadas emplean o triangulan dichos métodos, no todas las técnicas se utilizan por igual. Las investigaciones recurren con frecuencia al análisis de discurso y las entrevistas en profundidad, pero es mínima la presencia de observaciones, grupos de discusión y otras técnicas grupales. Los objetos de estudio también son variados, si bien los formatos audiovisuales se imponen a los periodísticos y se aprecia un creciente interés por medios y formatos digitales. Por último, en el ámbito de la autoría, los resultados revelan paridad, si bien preocupa la brecha de género en los estudios de más alto nivel.
Қазақ және түрік тілдеріндегі жалғаулықтар
Authors: Жүнісова Б.
Published: June 2024

Жалғаулықтар тілде көмекші сөздер қатарынан орын алатын сөздер тобына жатады. Жалғаулықтардың өз алдына нақты дербес лексикалық мағынасы болмағанымен, сөйлемде белгілі бір грамматикалық мағынаға ие болып, сөздерді, сөз тіркестерін және сөйлемдерді бір-бірімен байланыстырып отырады. Осылайша сөз бен сөйлем арасындағы мағыналық қатынасты сақтай отырып айтылымның жігін сақтап, жүйелі түрде жеткізуге өзіндік үлес қосады. Демек, жалғаулық шылаулар ― сөйлемдегі бірнеше сөзді, сөз тіркесін және сөйлемдерді бір-бірімен селбестіріп, олардың арасында түрлі деңгейде байланыс орнататын грамматикалық сөздер. Бұл тұрғыдан алғанда, жалғаулықтар түркі тілдері синтаксисінің коммуникативтік мүмкіндігін арттырады. Бір сөзбен немесе бір сөйлеммен жеткізуге келмейтін ойлар жалғаулықтар арқылы күрделене әрі жүйелене түседі, эстетикалық бір әңгімеге айналады. Мақалада жалғаулық шылаулар қазақ және түрік тілдерінде жарық көрген грамматикалық кітаптар мен көркем мәтіндер негізінде анықталып, олардың құрылымы, мағыналық тобы мен атқаратын қызметтері айқындалған. Қазақ және түрік тілдеріндегі жалғаулық шылаулардың өзара ұқсастықтары мен айырмашылықтары сөз болады. Осы тұрғыда қазақ және түрік тіліндегі жалғаулықтардың құрылымы мен қызметінің жіктелуі егжей-тегжейлі қарастырылады.

The scientific paper analyzes the transmission of similes in literary translation from English into Kazakh. On the example of the literary translation of J. Rowling “Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone”, the problems of using similes in the source language and their translation to the target language are considered. Based on the theoretical work of domestic and foreign scientists who studied similes, the problems of the features of their application, classification and translation are studied. At the same time, the features of literary translation and its importance in the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage were considered. In the course of the study, the problem of preserving the style, tone, meaning and spirit of similes when translating similes structures from the source language into the target language was discussed. Various ways of translating similes were also discussed, taking into account cultural differences and characteristics of the target audience. The problems faced by translators, such as the gap between linguistic forms and cultural contexts, are studied. Summarizing the article, it was concluded that the study of literary translation is one of the most pressing issues for preserving linguistic and cultural diversity in world literature and providing Kazakh-speaking readers with the opportunity to enjoy great works.

Present Status of Newborn Screening in Bangladesh through the Participation of Health Professionals
Authors: Al Islam Reshad Riyan
Published: June 2024

This paper suggests a biomechanical analysis of the joint motion of the arm based on the 3-dimensional motion analysis technique in the steering wheel action. The three-dimensional motion trajectory of the arm is obtained using the motion capture system, and the inverse kinematic analysis and inverse dynamics analysis are performed on the musculoskeletal model of the arm using this result. By doing this, the displacement of the arm joint and the magnitude of the joint torque are calculated. The rotational motion of each joint occurs simultaneously and in the joint motion, it can be confirmed that pronation-supination of the elbow joint, adduction-abduction of the shoulder joint, flexion-extension and flexion-extension of the wrist joint are the main movement parameters. Using this biomechanical motion analysis of joint segmental range of motion, it can be extended to analyze the behavior of passengers indoors in the autonomous vehicles.

Published: June 2024

An acute subdural hematoma (SDH) is a clot of blood that develops between the surface of the brain and the dura mater, usually due to stretching and rupture of veins on the brain’s surface, when a head injury suddenly jolts or shakes the brain. Traumatic acute SDHs are among the most lethal of all head injuries. In severe generalized brain injury, they occur with cerebral contusions. SDHs are seen in 10 to 20% of all traumatic brain injury cases and contribute up to 30% of fatal injuries.

Published: June 2024

A new material on the Indo-Malayan genera Peracca Griffini, 1897 and Oxylakis Redtenbacher, 1891 are examined. The feminine gender for the names of these genera as well as for some other but derivative generic and subgeneric names (generic names Amblylakis Redtenbacher, 1891, Odontolakis Redtenbacher, 1891, Paroxylakis Ingrisch, 1998, Bispinolakis Ingrisch, 1998, Depressacca Ingrisch, 1998 and Viriacca Ingrisch, 1998; subgeneric names Ocellakis Gorochov, 2013, Spinolakis subgen. nov., Sumatracca Gorochov, 2013 and Robustacca Ingrisch, 2020) is more definitely designed, and the necessary corrections of some species names are made. The composition of the genus Peracca is briefly discussed, and P. (Robustacca) setosa Ingrisch, 1998, comb. nov. is transferred from the subgenus Odontoconus Fritze et Carl, 1908 to the subgenus Robustacca. The subgeneric composition of the genus Oxylakis is expanded to four subgenera: Oxylakis s. str., Indolakis Gorochov, 2013, Ocellakis Gorochov, 2013 and Spinolakis subgen. nov. The key for subgenera of the genus Oxylakis is given. The following new species and subspecies are described and illustrated: Peracca (Peracca) simplex sp. nov. from Aceh Province (Sumatra) of Indonesia, Oxylakis (Spinolakis) spinosa sp. nov. from Sabah State (Borneo) of Malaysia and O. (Oxylakis) singaporensis aceh subsp. nov. from Aceh Province (Sumatra) of Indonesia.
Pleistocene and modern distribution of the subterranean rodent Myospalax myospalax (Rodentia, Myospalacidae) in response to environmental factors
Authors: Golovanov S.E. , Shpansky A.V. , Rusanov G.G.
Published: June 2024

The question of the modern and past distribution of Siberian zokor Myospalax myospalax (Laxmann, 1773) continues to be an unresolved puzzle. This Western Siberian endemic species belongs to the family Myospalacidae, a group of subterranean rodents. The distribution of M. myospalax went through dramatic changes due to mass hunting in the first half of the 20th century and later development of agriculture. Because of this, data from various studies executed in different years do not always match, making it difficult to determine the natural limiting factors in the distribution of Siberian zokors. In turn, paleontological data from different regions are fragmentary and have not been summarized in a single study. We aimed to review the past and modern distribution of M. myospalax and examine its relationship with environmental factors such as climate and soils distribution. We hypothesized that this species may be a good indicator of past environmental conditions because of its special habitat characteristics. We gathered and revised published data to reconstruct the distribution before the anthropogenic influence of the 20th century and during the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs. The modern preanthropogenic range was compared with the distribution of soil complexes and provinces. We also examined M. myospalax molars from Late Pleistocene – Holocene localities and compared them with the modern population. The Siberian zokor distribution data provided herein will be useful for researchers from other regions who use fragmentary or doubtful data on the topic. We also identified climatic and soil parameters of M. myospalax habitat. These parameters can be used to reconstruct past environmental conditions from paleontological findings of the Siberian zokor.
Ювелірна справа в уличів

Published: June 2024

Since the middle of the last century, a significant number of women's earrings of original shapes have been found on the territory of the forest-steppe Right Bank of Ukraine, which have attracted the attention of researchers for their perfection and artistic completeness. Although these finds were discovered mainly during household work, which made it difficult to determine the place of their manufacture, bronze stamps from the Peresopnytsia burial site in Volyn were attributed to women and associated with their earrings.
Most of the finds of such earrings are concentrated in the Southern Pobuzhzhia and the Prut-Dniester interfluve, mainly in Kodra. Research of treasures and archaeological excavations in the Nemyriv district confirms the existence of local jewelry production. A jeweler's treasure found in Chervone, containing stamps, unfinished pieces, and tools, shows the high level of skill of street jewelers.
The jewelry craft of the street jewelers included the production of two types of earrings: massive full-bodied and openwork hollow earrings, which had a wide range of techniques such as casting, soldering, skinning, and grain. The high quality and standardization of the products demonstrate the significant development of jewelry art in this region, despite the lack of its own raw material base.
The archaeological materials collected refute the claims of some researchers about the low level of artistic craftsmanship of the Slavs, in particular the ulichs. They show that the jewelry production of the Ulychi reached a high level in the IX-XII centuries and was an important component of the socio-economic development of the forest-steppe region where the Ulychi lived.

THE PRICE OF EXCLUSION
Authors: Kurlander Eric
Published: June 2024

"The failure of Liberalism" in Germany and its responsibility for the rise of Nazism has been widely discussed among scholars inside and outside Germany. This author argues that German liberalism failed because of the irreconcilable conflict between two competing visions of German identity. In following the German liberal parties from the Empire through the Third Reich Kurlander illustrates convincingly how an exclusionary racist Weltanschauung, conditioned by profound transformations in German political culture at large, gradually displaced the liberal-universalist conception of a democratic Rechtsstaat. Although there were some notable exceptions, this widespread obsession with "racial community [Volksgemeinschaft]" caused the liberal parties to succumb to ideological lassitude and self-contradiction, paving the way for National Socialism.

TWO LIVES IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
Authors: IggersIggers Wilma , Iggers Georg
Published: June 2024

Wilma and Georg Iggers came from different backgrounds, Wilma from a Jewish farming family from the German-speaking border area of Czechoslovakia, Georg from a Jewish business family from Hamburg. They both escaped with their parents from Nazi persecution to North America where they met as students. As a newly married couple they went to the American South where they taught in two historic Black colleges and were involved in the civil rights movement. In 1961 they began going to West Germany regularly not only to do research but also to further reconciliation between Jews and Germans, while at the same time in their scholarly work contributing to a critical confrontation with the German past. After overcoming first apprehensions, they soon felt Göttingen to be their second home, while maintaining their close involvements in America. After 1966 they frequently visited East Germany and Czechslovakia in an attempt to build bridges in the midst of the Cold War. The book relates their very different experiences of childhood and adolescence and then their lives together over almost six decades during which they endeavored to combine their roles as parents and scholars with their social and political engagements. In many ways this is not merely a dual biography but a history of changing conditions in America and Central Europe during turbulent times.
ANARCHISM, REVOLUTION AND REACTION
Authors: Smith Angel
Published: June 2024

The period from 1898 to 1923 was a particularly dramatic one in Spanish history; it culminated in the violent Barcelona “labor wars” and was only brought to a close with the coup d’état launched by the Barcelona Captain General, Miguel Primo de Rivera, in September 1923. In his detailed examination of the rise of the Catalan anarchist-syndicalist-led labor movement, the author blends social, cultural and political history in a novel way. He analyses the working class “from below” and the policies of the Spanish State towards labor “from above.” Based on an in-depth usage of primary sources, the authors provides an unrivalled account of Catalan labor and the Catalan anarchist-syndicalist movement and thus makes an important contribution to our understanding of early twentieth-century Spanish history.
DEMONSTRATING RECONCILIATION
Authors: Hindenburg Hannfried von
Published: June 2024

During the 1950s and early 1960s, the West German government refused to exchange ambassadors with Israel. It feared Arab governments might retaliate against such an acknowledgement of their political foe by recognizing Communist East Germany–West Germany’s own nemesis–as an independent state, and in doing so confirm Germany’s division. Even though the goal of national unification was far more important to German policymakers than full reconciliation with Israel in the aftermath of the Holocaust, in 1965 the Bonn government eventually did agree to commence diplomatic relations with Jerusalem. This was due, the author argues, to grassroots intervention in high-level politics. Students, the media, trade unions, and others pushed for reconciliation with Israel rather than the pursuit of German unification. For the first time, this book provides an in-depth look at the role society played in shaping Germany’s relations with Israel. Today, German society continues to reject anti-Semitism, but is increasingly prepared to criticize Israeli policies, especially in the Palestinian territories. The author argues that this trend sets the stage for a German foreign policy that will continue to support Israel, but is likely to do so more selectively than in the past.

STRANGERS EITHER WAY
Authors: Žmegač Jasna Čapo
Published: June 2024

Croatia gained the world's attention during the break-up of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. In this context its image has been overshadowed by visions of ethnic conflict and cleansing, war crimes, virulent nationalism, and occasionally even emergent regionalism. Instead of the norm, this book offers a diverse insight into Croatia in the 1990s by dealing with one of the consequences of the war: the more or less forcible migration of Croats from Serbia and their settlement in Croatia, their "ethnic homeland." This important study shows that at a time in which Croatia was perceived as a homogenized nation-in-the-making, there were tensions and ruptures within Croatian society caused by newly arrived refugees and displaced persons from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Refugees who, in spite of their common ethnicity with the homeland population, were treated as foreigners; indeed, as unwanted aliens.
THE NEW FACE OF POLITICAL CINEMA
Authors: O' Shaughnessy Martin
Published: June 2024

Since 1995 there has been a widespread return of commitment to French cinema taking it to a level unmatched since the heady days following 1968. But this new wave of political film is very different and urgently calls out for an analysis that will account for its development, its formal characteristics and its originality. This is what this book provides. It engages with leading directors such as Cantet, Tavernier, Dumont, Kassovitz, Zonca and Guédiguian, takes in a range of less well known but important figures and strays across the Belgian border to engage with the seminal work of the Dardenne brothers. It shows how the works discussed are helping to reinvent political cinema by finding stylistic and narrative strategies adequate to the contemporary context.
ITALIAN NEOFASCISM
Authors: Cento Bull Anna
Published: June 2024

During the Cold War Italy witnessed the existence of an anomalous version of a civil conflict, defined as a 'creeping' or a 'low-intensity' civil war. Political violence escalated, including bomb attacks against civilians, starting with a massacre in Milan, on 12 December 1969, and culminating with the massacre in Bologna, on 2 August 1980. Making use of the literature on national reconciliation and narrative psychology theory, this book examines the fight over the 'judicial' and the 'historical' truth in Italy today, through a contrasting analysis of judicial findings and the 'narratives of victimhood' prevalent among representatives of both the post- and the neo-fascist right.
PICTURING PITY
Authors: Gullestad Marianne
Published: June 2024

Picturing Pity is the first full length monograph on missionary photography. Empirically, it is based on an in-depth analysis of the published photographs taken by Norwegian evangelical missionaries in Northern Cameroon from the early nineteen twenties, at the beginning of their activities in this region, and until today. Being part of a large international movement, Norway sent out more missionaries per capita than any other country in Europe. Marianne Gullestad's main contention is that the need to continuously justify their activities to donors in Europe has led to the creation and maintenance of specific ways of portraying Africans. The missionary visual rhetoric is both based on earlier visualizations and has over time established its own conventions which can now also be traced within secular fields of activity such as international development agencies, foreign policy, human relief organizations and the mass media. Picturing Pity takes part in the present "pictorial turn" in academic teaching and research, constituting visual images as an exciting site of conversation across disciplinary lines.
FETISHES AND MONUMENTS
Authors: Sansi Roger
Published: June 2024

One hundred years ago in Brazil the rituals of Candomblé were feared as sorcery and persecuted as crime. Its cult objects were fearsome fetishes. Nowadays, they are Afro-Brazilian cultural works of art, objects of museum display and public monuments. Focusing on the particular histories of objects, images, spaces and persons who embodied it, this book portrays the historical journey from weapons of sorcery looted by the police, to hidden living stones, to public works of art attacked by religious fanatics that see them as images of the Devil, former sorcerers who have become artists, writers, and philosophers. Addressing this history as a journey of objectification and appropriation, the author offers a fresh, unconventional, and illuminating look at questions of syncretism, hybridity and cultural resistance in Brazil and in the Black Atlantic in general.

The problematic issue of generating marked-up data sets for training artificial intelligence systems preparing for autonomous operation in the proposed new conditions, when the formation of a feature description of objects and situations with a known target variable is impossible or significantly difficult, is considered. As a general approach to its solution, it is proposed to build and use a software testing area that provides the generation of training and control samples, checking the effectiveness of various machine learning methods on them, forming sets of in-formative features of objects and phenomena, bundles of "vector-implementation of features – classification method (clustering, regression)". The results of the systematization of scientific approaches to the definition of ma-chine learning types, as well as the main machine learning methods used in data mining, are presented. Using the example of solving the problem of assessing the dynamics of changes in the radio-electronic environment, the features of real feature descriptions of objects and phenomena that significantly affect the quality of problem solv-ing are shown. To form training samples that adequately reflect these features, it is proposed to use simulation modeling systems that implement an agent-oriented approach to model construction. An example of setting a task and constructing such a model is presented, which ensures the formation of marked-up data sets corresponding to the simulated environmental conditions.

In this paper, the self-assembling nature of nano-doped liquid crystals is characterized using different techniques. Liquid crystals, namely 4, n-alkoxybenzoic acid (nOBA, where n = 7,8), doped with magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4 of size 20nm) are considered for the present study. The structural and morphological properties of nano-doped liquid crystals are determined by the techniques of X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Morphological properties like grains, grain boundaries, and crystal defects are elucidated using the scanning electron microscope technique. Structural properties such as crystal structure, grain size, inter-atomic spacing, lattice constant, and dislocation density are determined using X-ray diffraction studies. The characteristics measured from the X-ray diffraction studies are correlated using the statistical analysis of Scanning electron microscope images. This is an objective analysis of X-ray diffraction studies. In addition to these techniques, colorimetric studies of optical anisotropic liquid crystals are carried out by measuring the chromaticity coordinates and color purity. This study utilizes the polarizing optical microscope technique. Furthermore, the influence of nano dopants on the characteristics of liquid crystals with carbon chain length is also discussed.

Morphological and molecular genetic data about Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758, collected from pike (Esox lucius Linnaeus, 1758) in the European North of Russia (Pinega river) in 2022, were presented. Molecular genetic studies were carried out based on the analysis of COI mtDNA, 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA gene sequences. A significant genetic distance for the COI gene from individuals of the same species collected in other territories (China, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Austria, Argentina, Pakistan, Iran, India, Japan, Romania, Egypt and Western Siberia) was revealed, which indicates the existence of a cryptic species L. cyprinacea in the European North of Russia. Analysis of 28S rDNA sequences showed the presence of two substitutions fixed in the population, which may indicate a fairly long-standing divergence of sister species. The 18S rDNA gene fragment is less suitable for identifying L. cyprinacea due to low variability compared to the other two gene regions.

Fresh dill (Anethum graveolens) was dried using a recirculating tray dryer (RTD) and cross flow dryer (CFD) at 35°C, 40°C and 45°C, respectively to determine the best drying treatment and temperature combination for the preparation of dried dill powder. The dried dill was subjected to a grinding process to obtain powder, its engineering properties and techno-functional properties were analysed. The dill powder displayed significant differences in techno-functional properties and engineering properties. The dill dried at 40°C using CFDT2 resulted in better technofunctional and engineering properties as bulk density - 114.4 kg/m3, tap density - 130.6 kg/m3, Carr Index - 12.40, Hausner Ratio - 1.141, swelling power - 0.29, dispersibility - 27.72, water holding capacity - 14.83, oil holding capacity - 35.65, foaming Capacity - 34.97, foam stability - 1.96, emulsion capacity - 55.14, water solubility index – 0.23 and water absorption index – 0.14, respectively. Compared to samples of RTDT1 (35°C), RTDT2 (40°C) RTDT3 (45°C), the samples CFDT1, and CFDT3 findings showed increasing and decreasing trends which kept on changing with drying technique and temperatures. However, it can be concluded that CFDT2 found better results compared to other samples.

The tangent to the circle is one of the materials in which students make many mistakes. The purpose of this research is to find out the types of errors in solving problems on the subject of circle tangents and the factors that cause them. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with research subjects namely 29 students of class VIII B at one of the State Middle Schools in Ngargoyoso. Data collection techniques were taken from the results of tests and interviews with students. Data were analyzed by data triangulation. The results showed that there were three types of errors in solving questions on the topic of tangent lines, namely conceptual errors, principal errors, and operational errors. These errors are caused by two factors, namely internal factors such as low understanding ability, and external factors such as lack of concentration. Errors that occur and their causes can be paid more attention to by the teacher to improve mastery of the tangent to a circle material.
