Burgenland Croats between Vienna, Bratislava and Sopron: Historical, Cultural and Linguistic Aspects1
Authors: Vashchenko Darja , Plotnikova Anna
Published: November 2019

The present paper discusses the written tradition of Burgenland Croats currently residing in the South of Slovakia. Before the Second World War this group of Burgenland Croats belonged to Hungary, so the preserved letters of rural residents of the border village Chunova retain a number of features characteristic of the Hungarian orthography of the beginning of last century, lexical borrowings from the languages of the environment (primarily German) and dialect features which have been lost by now. The correspondence from the beginning of the last century reflects the cultural, historical and linguistic situation typical of Burgenland Croats living in the enclave. A study of their letters published recently, in 2017, reveals the traits of their language, everyday life and some features of traditional folk culture.
Les sabbataires de Transylvanie: chrétiens – judaïsants – juifs
Authors: de Montety Henri
Published: November 2019

La religion sabbataires a vu le jour en Transylvanie à la fin du XVIe siècle, dans la foulée de la réforme et de l'unitarisme. Ses fondateurs affichaient l'intention de vivre “comme Jésus” c'est-à-dire également comme au temps de Jésus. Le destin des sabbataires a fini par rejoindre celui des juifs, y compris lors des persécutions du XXe siècle. Quant à leur sensibilité à l'idée de destin et de peuple élu, elle peut être mise en relation avec certains aspects de l'identité hongroise.

Authors: Zhang J.W. , Wang J.H. , Wang G.H. , Wang C.C. , Huang R.Q.
Published: November 2019

Phenolic extract from banana peel was extracted with 95% ethanol and characterized by LC-TOF-MS/MS. Epicatechin, rutin, 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, myricetin, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, and gallic acid were detected in the extract. Cholate test was performed for the initial examination of the hypolipidemic effect of the dietary fibres. The dietary fibres prepared by sequential treatment with sulphuric acid then sodium hydroxide (SST) and sodium hydroxide treatment (SHT) had high water-holding capacities (7.48 and 6.91 g g−1) and swelling capacities (4.8 and 4.3 ml g−1). The dietary fibres prepared by sequential treatment with trypsin then sulphuric acid (TST) and sulphuric acid treatment (SAT) had high oil-holding capacities (5.52 and 5.10 g g−1) and enhanced capacities for sodium cholate adsorption. Results indicated the potentials of banana peel as functional ingredient in food applications.

Published: November 2019

Lichens are a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a photosynthetic partner. Chemical characterization and bioactive potentials (antiproliferative, antioxidant, and antibacterial) of five lichen species (Evernia prunastri, Platismatia glauca, Pseudevernia furfuracea, Ramalina fastigiata, and Ramalina farinacea) were assessed. Five lichen metabolites (usnic acid, atranorin, stictic acid, evernic acid, and fumarprotocetraric acid) were analyzed by HPLC-DAD. E. prunastri was noteworthy evernic acid source. Antiproliferative activity was evaluated using human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2/C3A) cell lines. The strongest activity was observed for P. glauca against HepG2/C3A, while the only lichen species that induced cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell line was P. furfuracea. The highest antioxidant activity was also obtained with P. furfuracea. E. prunastri and R. farinaceae had the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents, respectively. Antibacterial activities of the extracts were determined against ten pathogenic bacteria. The most effective antibacterial agent was methanol extract of R. fastigiata. Our findings have revealed the pharmaceutical potentials of tested lichen species.
Classical and correlative analytical methods for origin identification of Hungarian honeys
Authors: Bodor Zs. , Benedek Cs. , Kaszab T. , Zaukuu J.-L. Zinia , Kertész I. , Kovacs Z.
Published: November 2019

Honey is produced by honeybees from nectar, sap of plant parts, or the juicy material secreted by sucking insects living on trees. It is rich in nutritionally useful components, the occurrence of which highly depends on the botanical and geographical origin of honey. Our goal is to develop a new, rapid, and accurate combination of analytical methods for identification of botanical and geographical origin.

Physicochemical parameters (pH, electrical conductivity, moisture, and ash content), colour (L*a*b*), and antioxidant properties were determined in addition to correlative techniques, such as electronic tongue and near infrared spectroscopy. For the statistical evaluation ANOVA, principal component analysis, and linear discriminant analysis were applied.

Results showed significant differences (P<0.05) in physicochemical properties, colour, and antioxidant capacity according to the botanical origin of honeys. Electronic tongue (ET) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) techniques were useful in the identification of the botanical and geographical origin, showing generally good accuracy.

The physicochemical parameters are important and can serve as reference methods, completing NIR and ET as target techniques, which are promising, but need further improvement for the determination of honey origin.
Sexually transmitted infections in soldiers – a cross-sectional assessment in German paratroopers and navy soldiers and a literature review
Authors: Gottwald Carina , Schwarz Norbert Georg , Frickmann Hagen
Published: November 2019

Introduction: The study was performed to estimate the prevalence and determinants of occurrence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in paratroopers and navy soldiers by anonymously analyzing medical records from the medical departments of two large German barracks in order to assess the need for medical STI prevention.

Methods: Medical records from 80 paratroopers and 80 navy soldiers were screened for records of STI. Results were anonymously collected next to information on risk factors, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic management, and comparatively assessed.

Results: Proportions of suspected STIs were 17.5% and 20%, and proportions of diagnosed STIs were 13.9% and 11.3% for paratroopers and navy soldiers, respectively. Chlamydia trachomatis, human papillomavirus, and genital scabies were observed in paratroopers and navy soldiers, while Gardnerella vaginalis, herpes simplex virus, Molluscum contagiosum virus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis were additionally identified in navy soldiers.

Conclusions: Although clinical hints for STIs were frequently observed, clinical management was usually restricted to syndrome-based antibiotic treatment without detailed diagnostic workup, leaving room for procedural improvement. Ongoing need for medical STI prevention in the military could be confirmed.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis struktur, perilaku, dan kinerja pemasaran udang di Indonesia. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang diperoleh dari Badan Karantina Ikan Pengendalian Mutu dan Keamanan Hasil Perikanan Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan dan BPS. Pendekatan struktur pasar menggunakan analisis CR4 (Concentration Ratio for Biggest Four) dan analisis IHH (Indeks Hirschman Herfindahl). Pendekatan perilaku pasar menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif berkenaan dengan pasar yang menjadi obyek penelitian. Analisis kinerja pasar udang menggunakan pendekatan Price Cost Margin dan Market Efficiency Indeks (MEI). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekspor udang masih didominasi oleh udang beku (58,78%) ke Amerika Serikat dan Jepang. Selanjutnya, hasil ini mengindikasikan bahwa udang olahan memiliki struktur pasar yang lebih bersaing dibandingkan udang beku karena jumlah perusahaan lebih banyak dengan hambatan masuk pasar yang lebih mudah. Sifat oligopoli pada industri udang menyebabkan sulitnya memperoleh informasi untuk memasuki pasar udang ini karena adanya tekanan yang kuat dari masing-masing industri. Perilaku pasar udang yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan adalah melalui strategi harga, diversifikasi produk dan promosi. Hal ini berimplikasi pada potensi pengembangan industri udang beku karena jumlah perusahaan masih sedikit dan harga lebih tinggi dibandingkan harga udang olahan. Title: Analysis of Structure, Behavior and Performance of Indonesian Shrimp MarketsThe aims of this study are to analyze structure, behavior and performance of Indonesian shrimp market. Data used are secondary data obtained from the Agency of Fish Quarantine and Quality Fishery Product, Ministry of Marine and Fisheries and Statistic Central Bureau (BPS). Structural analysis using Concentration Ratio for Biggest Four (CR4) and Hirschman Herfindahl Index analysis (IHH). Market behavior approach using  qualitative descriptive analysis related to markets as research object. Market performance analysis using Market Efficiency Index analysis (MEI). The results showed that shrimp exports were still dominated by frozen shrimp (58.78%) to the United State and Japan. Furthermore, the result indicated that shrimp processed have a more competitive market structure than frozen shrimp due to the greater number of companies with easier barriers to market entry. The nature of oligopoly in this industry makes it difficult to obtain information to move the shrimp market because it produces strong pressure from each industry. Shrimp market behavior carried out by the company is through pricing, product diversification and promotion strategies. This has implications for the potential development of the frozen shrimp industry because the number of companies is still small and the price is higher than the price of processed shrimp.
On terms; Administration, bureaucracy and organization,./Conceptualización; Administración, Burocracia y Organización, ¿Es el management un sistema adaptativo complejo?, análisis desde las escuelas de pensamiento, Una aproximación preliminar a la temática
Authors: Vergara Varela Rafael
Published: November 2019

Hoy la teoría de la organización está siendo presentada en algunos contextos como un conjunto de escuelas de pensamiento que gravitan entorno al quehacer administrativo en su devenir histórico. Por ello, la propuesta alternativa del presente documento busca presentar holísticamente un análisis histórico de las principales escuelas de pensamiento en la teoría administrativa como también en la epistemología de la organización, y transversalmente a estas; se referencian las conceptualizaciones de administración, burocracia y organización. Empero, el argumento central y principal del trabajo intenta demostrar; si el corpus teórico de la organización es un conjunto de teoría conexa o si en caso contrario responde a una situación específica dada una condición histórica, es decir; si el management responde a las lógicas de un sistema adaptativo complejo.
Conceptual and constitutional construction of social security in health and right to health/Constructo conceptual y constitucional de la seguridad social en salud y derecho a la salud
Authors: Restrepo Pimienta Jorge Luis
Published: November 2019

El presente documento científico es el resultado de un proceso investigativo cualitativo, documental, donde se abordaban diferentes variables en cuanto a la dimensión jurídico antropológica de la política pública en salud, tales salud, enfermedad, prestaciones asistenciales y sistema de seguridad social en salud, ello conlleva abordar y estudiar la salud cuanto a su concepto y así mismo la forma en que la Corte Constitucional la explica, emitiendo su apreciación de sistema de seguridad social en salud y derecho a la salud en un contexto de salvaguardar la constitución, garantizar y proteger la salud en un estado demócrata, pluralista y progresista. Para entrar en la dinámica del escrito se inició por la epistemes del concepto, salud, los antecedentes sociales y luego en esplendor el Tribunal Constitucional dentro de sus apreciaciones de lo jurídico y judicial pero agarrada de la doctrina científica que permite lineamientos e ilustraciones fundantes en sus fallos de tutela, elaborando o construyendo jurisprudencia y doctrina Constitucional.Es por ello que cuando se topa la Corte Constitucional con significación jurídica, conceptual e instrumental acerca de la seguridad social en salud y derecho a la salud supone cuál de las dos es mayor o tiene soporte estructural fundamental primario.
Jurisprudential analysis about the fundamental right to the minimum living standard or the right to subsistence/Sobre el derecho fundamental al mínimo vital o a la subsistencia: análisis jurisprudencial
Authors: Duque Quintero Sandra Patricia , Duque Quintero Mónica , González Sánchez Patricia
Published: November 2019

Este artículo de investigación tiene por objeto analizar el rango de protección dado por la Corte Constitucional al mínimo vital, para lo cual se define el concepto de mínimo vital y se construye una línea jurisprudencial, por medio de la cual, se busca determinar el patrón de desarrollo decisional atinente a la protección como derecho fundamental del mínimo vital. Del análisis jurisprudencial, se identifican tres momentos, el primero, de protección al derecho innominado mínimo vital o derecho de subsistencia, por conexidad con derechos fundamentales como la vida y la dignidad humana; un segundo momento, donde si bien se mantiene la inicial postura, en el sentido que el mínimo vital no es per se un derecho fundamental, se empieza a moderar el discurso de no fundamentalidad y se dota al mínimo vital, de una mayor trascendencia en el orden constitucional. Por último, en un tercer momento, se considera el mínimo vital como un derecho fundamental autónomo. Se concluye, que si bien hay una interpretación constitucional que reconoce el mínimo vital como derecho fundamental, en la práctica su aplicación es reducida y no se vislumbra una apuesta de Estado, que impulse la creación de prestaciones dirigidas a las personas sin ingresos y con necesidades apremiantes de subsistencia, estrategia que sin lugar a dudas, permitiría combatir la desigualdad, el incremento de la pobreza y la desprotección en el desempleo, asuntos que se agravan cada vez más en Colombia.
Curriculum proposal for improving the organizational climate/Propuesta pedagógica para el mejoramiento del clima organizacional
Authors: Leal Pacheco Soledad , Cortés Rodríguez Diego Alejandro
Published: November 2019

El clima organizacional a nivel empresarial ha sido ampliamente estudiado por carreras como la psicología y la administración de empresas. Estos estudios en su mayoría desarrollan metodologías para medir el clima dentro de determinada empresa o concluye la necesidad de mejorarlo en alguna de sus dimensiones por medio de estrategias de capacitaciones o talleres con los empleados. Sin embargo estos estudios rara vez hablan sobre la metodología pedagógica a implementar y mucho menos sobre la didáctica que se debe usar para fortalecer determinada dimensión del clima. Este artículo pretende mostrar la efectividad de una estrategia pedagógica para mejorar el trabajo en equipo al interior de una empresa de telecomunicaciones, basada en la forma en que aprenden los adultos y por medio del fortalecimiento de las competencias socio afectivas de los individuos.
Historical consciousness and textbooks. An analysis from the conceptions about the period of “La Violencia” in Colombia
Authors: Ibagón Nilson Javier
Published: November 2019

The final results of a research that aimed at analyzing the conceptions and ideas on the historical period of “La Violencia” portrayed in ninth grade social studies textbooks published in Colombia since 1989 to 2016 are socialized. The research was methodologically grounded on the analysis of qualitative content and, theoretically, on the general principles of the historical consciousness development. From these referents, it is established that the studied textbooks have not been able to consolidate critical explanatory principles of analysis around this historical phenomenon. The aforementioned problem generates, in these pedagogical devices, a series of argumentative absences around the historical processes and agencies, which are key to understand the connections of that past with a present time marked by violent internal struggles associated with a social, political and economic conflict that has not been completely overcome in Colombia

Published: November 2019

Background

Palliative systematic treatment offers uncertain and often limited benefits, and the burden can be high. Hence, treatment decisions require shared decision making (SDM). This trial examined the independent and combined effect of an oncologist training and a patient communication aid on SDM.

Methods

In this multicenter randomized controlled trial with four parallel arms (2016–2018), oncologists (n = 31) were randomized to receive SDM communication skills training or not. The training consisted of a reader, two group sessions, a booster session, and a consultation room tool (10 hours). Patients (n = 194) with advanced cancer were randomized to receive a patient communication aid or not. The aid consisted of education on SDM, a question prompt list, and a value clarification exercise. The primary outcome was observed SDM as rated by blinded observers from audio-recorded consultations. Secondary outcomes included patient-reported SDM, patient and oncologist satisfaction, patients’ decisional conflict, patient quality of life 3 months after consultation, consultation duration, and the decision made.

Results

The oncologist training had a large positive effect on observed SDM (Cohen's d = 1.12) and on patient-reported SDM (d = 0.73). The patient communication aid did not improve SDM. The combination of interventions did not add to the effect of training oncologists only. The interventions affected neither patient nor oncologist satisfaction with the consultation nor patients’ decisional conflict, quality of life, consultation duration, or the decision made.

Conclusion

Training medical oncologists in SDM about palliative systemic treatment improves both observed and patient-reported SDM. A patient communication aid does not. The incorporation of skills training in (continuing) educational programs for medical oncologists is likely to stimulate the widely advocated uptake of shared decision making in clinical practice.

Published: November 2019

Background

Owing to the rarity of this tumor, there is limited information about second-line chemotherapy for patients with previously treated advanced thymic carcinoma.

Material and Methods

We performed a multi-institutional, retrospective study named NEJ023 for patients with advanced thymic carcinoma. Patients without indications for curative treatment were treated with chemotherapy from 1995 to 2014 at 40 institutions in the North East Japan Study Group. Demographic and clinicopathologic characteristics, data on treatment methods, and outcomes of second-line chemotherapy were obtained from medical records.

Results

In total, 191 patients were enrolled in this study. Second-line chemotherapy included platinum-based doublets in 57.6% of patients, other multidrug chemotherapy (e.g., cisplatin, doxorubicin, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide) in 13.6%, and monotherapy in 28.8%. The median follow-up time was 50.5 months, and the median overall survival (OS) from the start of second-line chemotherapy was 22.4 (95% confidence interval, 17.5-26.7) months. The average response rate (RR) was 20.0% overall; it was 21.6% for patients treated with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, 13.6% for those treated with other multidrug chemotherapy, and 19.6% for those treated with single agent chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in OS between platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, other multidrug chemotherapy, and monotherapy (the median OS was 22.4, 25.7, and 21.4 months, respectively).

Conclusion

The median OS was 22.4 months in patients with advanced thymic carcinoma treated with second-line chemotherapy. There were no significant differences in RR and OS between monotherapy and multidrug chemotherapy in this study.
Carrying the Nest: (Re)writing History Through Embodied Research
Authors: Gros Nilüfer Ovalıoğlu
Published: November 2019

This video article describes the embodied research conducted whilst creating the video performance Carrying her; where various meditation techniques serve to confront the taboo history of the Armenian Genocide that reached its climax in 1915–16 in my homeland, Turkey. I instrumentalize my experience living in a two-century old stone house in the city of Mardin, in the Syrian frontier of Turkey, to reconsider the historical wound felt in the collective utterances of the region. Chants, lamentations, lullabies, testimonies, myths and tales guide me through the history embodied in Southeast Turkey and urge my journey to France where I re-discover the wound through sonorities of the Armenian Diaspora. My pregnancy opens a space to reflect upon women’s experience of the genocide, translating the corporal phenomenon of being pregnant to the reality of the exiled through the notion of carrying. The sonic universe reclaimed in the diaspora revives my memory of the land in its lullabies. To reclaim the diversity lost from my homeland, I create a soundscape that employs diverse sonorities of Southeast Anatolia. Complemented by the soundscape, the video performance composes my ağıt, my lament for the people exiled and massacred.

Authors: Wille Becker Keitty Aline , Ferretti Paula Carolina , Carvalho de Souza Domingues Maria José
Published: November 2019

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a percepção dos alunos a respeito dos atributos de um bom professor tutor e o uso dos recursos tecnológicos na sala de aula em uma Instituição de Ensino Superior, na modalidade de educação a distância. Os dados foram coletados mediante aplicação de questionários para alunos EAD, totalizando uma amostra de 175 alunos. O estudo caracteriza-se como quantitativo. A análise de resultados ocorreu por meio da técnica estatística descritiva e análise fatorial exploratório. Os principais atributos para um bom professor tutor na percepção dos alunos EAD foram a postura, o relacionamento e a didática, por outro lado, a capacidade profissional e a motivação foram os atributos com menor relevância. Os recursos tecnólogos mais utilizados em sala de aula e destacados pelos alunos foram o Projetor Multimídia e o Power Point, enquanto o Tablet e o Socrative resultaram em menor uso. Estes achados indicam que, embora seja possível ampliar o uso destes recursos para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de forma produtiva, os professores tutores ainda utilizam recursos tecnológicos tradicionais. Os resultados contribuem ainda para expandir a literatura sobre o professor tutor na EAD, comprovando seu papel de mediador.
First report of the isolation of entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema australe (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) from South Africa
Authors: Lephoto Tiisetso E. , Gray Vincent M.
Published: November 2019

A survey was conducted in Walkerville, south of Johannesburg (Gauteng, South Africa) between 2012 and 2016 to ascertain the diversity of entomopathogenic nematodes in the area. Entomopathogenic nematodes are soil-dwelling microscopic worms with the ability to infect and kill insects, and thus serve as eco-friendly control agents for problem insects in agriculture. Steinernematids were recovered in 1 out of 80 soil samples from uncultivated grassland; soil was characterised as loamy. The entomopathogenic nematodes were identified using molecular and morphological techniques. The isolate was identified as Steinernema australe. This report is the first of Steinernema australe in South Africa. S. australe was first isolated worldwide from a soil sample obtained from the beach on Isla Magdalena – an island in the Pacific Ocean, 2 km from mainland Chile.
Significance:

Entomopathogenic nematodes are only parasitic to insects and are therefore important in agriculture as they can serve as eco-friendly biopesticides to control problem insects without effects on the environment, humans and other animals, unlike chemical pesticides.

Exploring the prevalence of the sexually transmitted marks phenomenon in higher education institutions
Authors: Ncube Mthuthukisi
Published: November 2019

Countries steadfastly pursue academia as a necessary step towards socio-economic development, which places a mandate on institutions of higher learning to stir host-country economies through university deliverables. In Zimbabwe, this entails the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development’s ‘doctrine’ spelling out the philosophy of ‘Education 5.0’ which emphasises teaching/learning, research, community engagement, innovation, and commercialisation of goods and services. However, academic dishonesty, such as that through ‘sexually transmitted marks’ (STM), threatens the realisation of such mandates. Although the norm is that such sexual transactions are initiated by academics, evidence shows students also initiate such relationships. Consequently, efforts to eliminate this threat to academic integrity should not only focus on lecturers, but also be extended to students. This paper contributes towards unmasking experiences of STM between male lecturers and female students, female lecturers and male students, and female students and male students, as determined from former university students and university alumni in Bulawayo. Exposing these practices allows for open consultation and adoption of good practices from similar institutions worldwide.

Significance:

The majority of respondents all attested to having experienced STM directly or indirectly during their years of study.

An explicit STM regulation policy targeting all actors across universities is needed.
Forgiveness moderates relations between psychological abuse and indicators of psychological distress among women in romantic relationships
Authors: Cowden Richard G. , Worthington, Jr. Everett L. , Griffin Brandon J. , Garthe Rachel C.
Published: November 2019

Forgiveness frequently occurs in a relational context and is a key ingredient for restoring and maintaining intimate relationships. Yet, certain interpersonal dynamics that sometimes motivate forgiveness (e.g. abuse) have the potential to adversely affect well-being, especially when ongoing exploitation occurs. In this study, we examined the role of forgiveness in moderating relations between psychological abuse and indicators of psychological distress in a sample of community-based South African women currently in a heterosexual romantic relationship. Participants (n=515) completed measures of decisional and emotional forgiveness of their partner, psychological abuse committed by their current partner during the course of the relationship, and depression, anxiety, and stress. Latent profile analysis identified two subgroups characterised by differing levels of forgiveness: partial forgiveness (high decisional forgiveness and moderate emotional forgiveness) and complete forgiveness (high decisional and emotional forgiveness). Regression analyses revealed that the relations of psychological abuse with depression and stress, but not anxiety, were moderated by ‘forgiveness of partner’. The complete forgiveness group scored lower on depression and stress when psychological abuse was lower, but higher on each outcome when psychological abuse was higher. The findings suggest that there may be conditions in which forgiveness of partner may promote or undermine the mental health of women who experience abuse perpetrated by their current partner.
Significance:

Whereas women in continuing romantic relationships generally sought neither to avoid or seek revenge on their partners (i.e. decisional forgiveness), distinct subgroups were characterised by more or less reduction of negative emotions (i.e. emotional forgiveness).
Within the context of continuing romantic relationships, the mental health benefits that ordinarily accompany more thorough processing of unforgiveness may be eroded when victims are exposed to severe levels of potentially ongoing psychological abuse.

While there are numerous benefits to working in teams comprising multiple disciplines, we do not have sufficient documented information on the functioning of multi-disciplinary teams in the building design context. As functioning impacts project outcomes, an understanding of the operation of building design teams comprising multiple disciplines is important.

To contribute to the body of knowledge that addresses this gap, this paper examines literature on disciplinary types and team performance. Using an analytic framework identified in literature, this paper studies the organizational and social aspects of building design practice in order to shed light on the ways in which the multiple disciplines involved building design work together. Findings presented in this paper suggest that building design teams combine and integrate knowledge, skills and capabilities in a multidisciplinary manner. In addition, this paper discusses four social and organizational characteristics of multidisciplinary building design teams – the project delivery approach, disciplinary roles, preexisting social and professional relationships, and location and geographic proximity – and documents their impacts on team functioning.
Data, Data Everywhere, Not a Lot in Sync
Authors: De Kock Pieter Marthinus
Published: November 2019

Up to 100 billion devices will be seeking to visually map out our existence over the internet by 2020 (UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser 2014). Just as the urban is a forcefield "of spatial transformations... that takes many different morphological forms” (Brenner 2014), this paper explores another underlying forcefield: our visual relationship with data. The most important piece of data, the individual, exists in the city as both prey and predator; having evolved from a "passive aesthetic view of the city” (Appleyard 1979, 144); transformed through shared territory (Evans and Jones 2008); and forged into impressively intricate sets of power relations through collective intentionality (Searle 2011). Through the presentation of self (Goffman, 1969, cited in Appleyard 1979, 146) we inhabit another home: the digital; in which we are simultaneously co-existent and removed by synchronisation of data. Traditionally, the software authoring the physical production of ‘space/hardware' has been value driven (Raban, 1974, 128, cited in Appleyard 1979, 146). In a parallel universe, algorithms drive the data. For Ellis (2012) it is in the software, that meaning resides. What then is the allure of data to the individual? And what is the allure of the individual to data? It lies arguably in the perception of power and control through meaning (Appleyard, Searle et al.). We seek in the new reality to "discover where the real power lies” (Appleyard 1979, 146). Curiously, the power of data appears to increase the irrelevancy of ownership, between "ours” and "theirs” (Appleyard 1979, 152). This paper analyses past, present, and future states of data production. The data we get from data; data produced from objects; and objects produced from data. In closing, a speculative working hypothesis is presented of visual data production, which hopefully encourages further research reconciling data with meaning in the context of visual sustainability.
Wybrane formy uczestnictwa w kulturze muzycznej podstawą kreowania więzi
Authors: Szubertowska Elżbieta
Published: November 2019

W artykule podjęłam próbę ukazania istoty uczestnictwa w kulturze muzycznej i jej miejsca w wychowaniu. W teoretycznych rozważaniach odniosłam się do treści zawartych w literaturze pedagogicznej i socjologicznej, traktujących o podstawach społecznego współżycia i współdziałania. na przykładach zaczerpniętych z historii, a także z praktyki pedagogicznej, ukazałam rolę muzykowania zespołowego w wychowaniu w przeszłości oraz zwróciłam uwagę na współczesne możliwości wykorzystania tej formy aktywności w budowaniu więzi społecznych. przedmiotem moich rozważań uczyniłam uczestnictwo w spontanicznym, wspólnotowym śpiewie oraz w zorganizowanych zespołach: instrumentalnym i chóralnym.

W podsumowaniu odniosłam się do współczesnej sytuacji w tej dziedzinie oraz wskazałam pozytywne inicjatywy wychowawcze godne naśladowania.

Structure and Proportion in Hindustani Ālāp
Authors: Napier John
Published: November 2019

In this paper, I investigate structural proportions in improvised Hindustani (North Indian) vocal music. 235 examples of two types of ālāp were examined: 175 in the genre of khayāl, 60 in the genre of dhrupad. Both studio recordings and recordings of concerts were used. Three sets of proportions were investigated: the climactic arrival at the upper tonic as a proportion of the time till a point of structural change that is made explicit through rhythmic intensification (C:R), the first point as a proportion of the whole (C:W), and point of rhythmic intensification as a proportion of the whole (R:W). Average proportions for each genre, and the degree of consistency-flexibility within each genre were measured. The results show that proportions may vary between genres, but that flexibility-consistency does not. The data obtained were also used to investigate proportions and consistency-flexibility amongst singers of similar stylistic training, across individual singers, and across different performances by the same singer. The conclusions are followed by suggestions for a further, emic-driven examination of proportionality.
How Thomas A. Edison shaped today's singing ideal: Tracking his ambiguous concept of tremolo by analysing archival documents and sound recordings
Authors: H Tilo , Martensen Karin
Published: November 2019

We linked an analysis of vocal vibratos in early recordings with Edison's dismissive attitude towards singers' tremolos in the same recordings. We conclude that there are at least two different factors contributing to Edison's concept of tremolo, which include a) technical limitations and artefacts related to the recording process, and b) aesthetic judgements based on his taste for a good singing voice, but which are not necessarily related to the vibrato as such. In some cases, his comments on the tremolo even contradict the vibratos found in the recordings. Yet, Edison's concept of tremolo was as ambiguous as it was influential, for it was the tremolo on which Edison frequently based his decision to employ singers for commercial recordings. Since many of today's vocal artists still view early recordings as the gold standard of interpretation, we should consider the possibility that early recordings are by no means a representative sample of the artists of that time, but rather a selection due to the constraints of the technology at that time.
Second-Position Syncopation in European and American Vocal Music
Authors: Temperley David
Published: November 2019

I define a second-position syncopation as one involving a long note or accent on the second quarter of a half-note or quarter-note unit. I present a corpus analysis of second-position syncopation in 19th-century European and American vocal music. I argue that the analysis of syncopation requires consideration of other musical features besides note-onset patterns, including pitch contour, duration, and text-setting. The corpus analysis reveals that second-position syncopation was common in English, Scottish, Euro-American, and African-American vocal music, but rare in French, German, and Italian vocal music. This suggests that the prevalence of such syncopations in ragtime and later popular music was at least partly due to British influence.
Expanding and Contracting Definitions of Syncopation: Commentary on Temperley 2019
Authors: Condit-Schultz Nat
Published: November 2019

In the article Second-Position Syncopation in European and American Vocal Music, David Temperley presents an empirical, socio-cultural survey of syncopation in 19th-century Western music. He espouses the following novel ideas about operational definitions of syncopation: 1) that syncopations on the second position of a duple hierarchy are musically, and culturally, distinct from fourth-position syncopations; 2) that more detailed operational definitions of syncopation, what Temperley calls "acute" syncopations, are needed to properly understand syncopation. Following up on Temperley's work, I apply his definitions of syncopation to a corpus of more recent Anglo-American popular music (Gauvin, Condit-Schultz, & Arthur 2017). I discuss how Temperley's definitions must be adapted and expanded to fit this different, more diverse, dataset, proposing several new syncopation definitions of my own. I also discuss some statistical assumptions that ought to be better addressed in future work, and speculate on how inconsistencies of music notation might hinder historical studies like Temperley's.
