Authors: Yudhistira Aimar
Published: July 2023

Perpustakaan adalah sarana yang menyediakan informasi serba guna baik dalam bentuk baca maupun tulis yang dapat digunakan sebagai sumber informasi atau sebagai sarana pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, perpustakaan harus dikelola dengan baik agar layanan yang diberikan dapat berfungsi dengan baik. Hal ini terlihat dari kemudahan anggota perpustakaan dalam mengakses informasi secara cepat dan akurat. Namun permasalahan saat ini muncul karena banyak perpustakaan yang masih mengelola data secara manual. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan perubahan dalam pengelolaan data perpustakaan yang sebelumnya manual dialihkan menjadi digital. Solusi ini berguna untuk mengatasi kesulitan pustakawan dalam mengelola data koleksi buku yang tersedia. Dengan ini, sistem informasi perpustakaan dapat dirancang sebagai sistem informasi perpustakaan berbasis web dengan perkembangan teknologi saat ini. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membuat sistem informasi perpustakaan berbasis web yang mampu memberikan informasi perpustakaan yang terstruktur dan akurat kepada anggota dan pustakawan, sehingga sistem informasi perpustakaan berbasis web ini memfasilitasi penggunaan informasi perpustakaan oleh admin.

Authors: Horta Martínez Lázaro Ernesto , Sorá Rodríguez Melissa
Published: July 2023

Introduction: the rapid and precipitous increase in the number of scientific journals has outlined the hardship of perpetrating periodic assessments of their scientific production or that of a specific area of ​​knowledge. Scientific production is directly related to scientific activity.
Objective: describe the production on fractures in the Cuban Journal of Orthopedics and Traumatology.
Methods: a metric, descriptive and cross-sectional analysis of the articles published on fractures in the Cuban Journal of Orthopedics and Traumatology (RCOT) was carried out from from 2013 to 2022.
Results: a total of 37 articles were collected; 19 (51,4 %) original articles, 12 (32,4 %) case presentations, 4 (10,8 %) bibliographic reviews, 1 (2,7 %) special article and 1 (2,7 %) letter to the editor. The year with the highest scientific production was 2023 (n=19; 51,4 %), in the period 2015-2019 no scientific contributions were reported. The total originality rate is 51,4 %, with 2013 being the year with the highest rate with 100 %, although together with 2014 they represent the most unproductive years within the productive ones, 2014 has an originality rate of 0 %.
Conclusions: the production on fractures in the RCOT had a notable representation in the period 2020-2021 and showed a tendency to progress in this regard; but work still needs to be done in order to endorse optimal visibility of the contents on this topic, as well as a greater citation of these, to which the publication in English and the persuasion of collaborators of other nationalities could greatly contribute

A secure E-health care system is satisfying by maintaining data authenticity and privacy. Authentic users only access and edit medical records, any alteration in the medical records may result in a misdiagnosis and, as a result, harm the patient's life. Biometric method and watermarking modes are utilized to satisfy goal, such as Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Least Significant Bit (LSB). In this work focused on a biometric watermarking system where the iris code of the sender programmed as a sender authentication key. The confidentiality of the patient information is safeguarded via encrypting it with an XOR algorithm and embedding the key in the DCT image. The algorithm has demonstrated which is suggested system has met earlier constraints. We used samples of original watermarked images with PSNR value, embedding time and extraction time, the lowest embedding time was 0,0709 and the PSNR value was 49,2369

Published: July 2023

The lack of awareness of elementary school students' literacy results in low student learning motivation from childhood. This study aims to analyze: (1) the implementation of the literacy program in increasing student motivation; and (2) the supporting and inhibiting factors in implementing the literacy program. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The object of this research is the students of Butung II Public Elementary School, Makassar City, Indonesia. The results of the study show that the literacy program is implemented in three ways: independent quizzes, literacy classes, and Friday prayers. These various literacy programs have implications for increasing student learning motivation. This is proven by the fact that students prefer to read textbooks, start writing stories, and dare to appear to speak in front of their friends. Factors supporting this program are teaching campus students, teacher cooperation, the active role of students, and school appreciation. The inhibiting factors are the lack of support from students' parents and inadequate educational facilities. This research has implications for the need for teachers' ability to choose and sort out the right literacy program (according to students' needs and interests) to increase student motivation.

Published: July 2023

Improved agricultural technologies are critical for achieving development goals such as poverty reduction and maintaining food security for impoverished farming households in low-income countries like Nepal. In recent years, agricultural technologies are promoted among commercial vegetable growers to improve their livelihood. However, there is limited understanding of the determinants of the technology adoption and insights that can provide guidelines for technology development and accelerate their adoptions. This study aimed to assess the extent and factors affecting technology adoption in Bagamati Province, Nepal. This study adopted a multi-stage sampling method and surveyed 180 randomly selected households. This study used ordinal logistic regression to identify factors affecting the adoption of agricultural technology in the study area. Household head by female (OR=0.161), years of education (OR=1.205), farm size (OR=4.835), distance to the nearest market (OR=0.247), distance to the nearest road (OR=0.019), and extension workers visit (OR=3.227) were the major determinants of the technology adoption in this study. Therefore, it is suggested among others that policymakers should emphasize higher education, access to roads and markets, extension programmes, and the development of agricultural technology suitable for small farmers adoption.

A total of 342 one- day-old of local chicks were hatched and reared in floor cages 2m2 from 1-105 days of age. There for, each cage contained instead to (8 birds/m2) the (16 birds/ 2m2) and instead to (11 birds/m2) the (22 birds/ 2m2). Performance: body weight, daily weight gain, daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio and mortality were recorded for different ages 1-21, 22-49, 50-77 and 78-105 day-old. The results showed that no significant effect of both Sex and stocking density on body weight at hatch, 77 and 150 days of age between. Females at day 21 in both stocking densities and at day 49 of age at SD1 obtained significantly (p<0.05) heavier body weight compared with Males and mix at SD2. Feed conversion ratio were better at SD2 for three Sex factor than SD1 at 1-21 and 22-49 day of age also, at 78-105 day of age the better feed conversion ratio was in Males in SD2 and Mix at SD1 compared with Females at SD2. The mortality% was significantly higher in males and females at SD2 at 50-77 day of age. We conclude from these results that intensive rearing (12 birds/m2) improves weight and feed conversion efficiency in local chickens in Sulaymaniyah Governorate in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The Imperishable Johann Sebastian: Postict
Authors:   Saratov State L. V. Sobinov Conservatory, Demchenko Alexander I.
Published: July 2023

The term Postict is used here to denote the conclusive perceptions addressed to Bach’s music. And the first of them pertains to that unique phenomenon which the Bach dynasty represents. Having evolved during the course of three centuries, it has brought in an invaluable contribution to the German art of music. A distinguished fact is that Johann Sebastian Bach as the most significant representative of the family brought up four sons (Wilhelm Friedemann, Carl Philip Emmanuel, Johann Christoph Friedrich and Johann Christian), who obtained broad recognition as composers. To the inclusivity of amplitude of styles so characteristic to Johann Sebastian himself related to the past and to his contemporaneity it is necessary to add the broad spectrum of stylistic prognoses for the future programmed by the great composer. Bach’s insights most of all touched that epoch which came up to take the place of Bach’s era — it is referred to the Era of Enlightenment and the figures so essential to it such as Domenico Scarlatti, Gluck, Mozart and Beethoven. It also envisaged certain overtones of the Romantic Era associated with the styles of Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms and a number of other composers. If we are to discuss the forestalling of 20th century music, first of all we must highlight the Neo-Bach movement as the most influential branch of neoclassicism.
In Search of Lost Time in Word and Sound: about the Influence of Marcel Proust on the Work of Reynaldo Hahn
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Zakharbekova Irina S.
Published: July 2023

In the late 19th century two young and original artists — Marcel Proust, who worked not only as a writer, but also as a journalist (a music critic, as well), and Reynaldo Hahn, a composer, music critic and public figure, — fall into the orbit of mutual influences. Having remained friends (which can be seen, in particular, from their correspondence) up until Proust’s death, they have maintained their artistic dialogue in one way or another. As a result of this, a number of Hahn’s compositions dedicated to Proust appear at that time, as well as the cycle Portraits d’artistes – four piano pieces by Hahn with declamation of texts from Proust’s early cycle with the same title. The composition presents a peculiar double ekphrasis, since it portrays four baroque artists (Albert Cuyp, Paulus Potter, Anthony van Dyck and Antoine Watteau), using poetic and musical means, generating synthetic images-metaphors. Hahn’s other compositions permeated with Proust’s aesthetics is his piano cycle Le Rossignol éperdu, the pieces of which were composed at the same time as the first volume of In Search of Lost Time was written. Unifying into a certain resemblance to a cycle, Hahn’s pieces are in effect miniature sketches of images that are different in their nature (poetic, pictorial, architectural, natural, mythological, etc.), affixed with epigraphs and other verbal commentaries. The composition demonstrates the stylistic features essential to the French Belle Époque: passéisme, ornamentality, impressionistic hearing of sound-color, as well as a special attitude towards time. In the outcome, this results in a compilation-cycle continuing the romantic tradition of the traveler’s album (Franz Liszt), turning out to be concordant with compositions of Hahn’s contemporaries (in particular, Debussy’s Preludes) and, in addition, presenting an original musical metaphor of Proust’s novel.
The Battle of Stalingrad in Russian and Foreign Music
Authors:   Astrakhan State Conservatory, Kazantseva Liudmila P. , Lukonina Oksana I. ,   Volgograd State Institute of Arts and Culture
Published: July 2023

While analyzing the artistic elaboration on the part of composers of the Stalingrad battle as a momentous episode of history, in this section the authors of the article turn to music outside of Russia. Special attention is paid by researchers to compositions which have not received scholarly comprehension in musicology. Little known biographical facts, information pertaining to the history of the creation and performance of musical compositions, as well as the aspects of their conception-related solutions and their features of style and genre are touched upon. Characterization is given to the orchestral works by representatives of the musical culture of the USA (Roy Harris, George Antheil), the United Kingdom (Christian Darnton), France (Aubert Lemeland), Israel (Marc Lavry), Bulgaria (Alexander Yossifov) and Czechia (Jaroslav Doubrava). Artistic evaluation is given to the works written in the genres of cantata, oratorio, and musical theater by the composers of Germany (Helmut Ritter), USA (Elias Tanenbaum), the United Kingdom (Elisabeth Maconchy), Brazil (Cláudio Santoro), Denmark (Kim Helweg) and Czechia (Václav Dobiáš). It is noted that composers from other countries distanced from the place of the conduct of hostilities territorially and chronologically are endowed with a certain amount of poster qualities in the musical Rossica. They operate with the musically manifested categories of Evil vs. Good and to a great degree have a tendency towards expressionist figurative accents. At the same time, the reflection of the subject matter of the Stalingrad battle is stipulated by a need for a publicistically sharp indication of the values and the perception of the tangency of personal fate with history.
British Choral Music at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries: the Phenomenon of the English Musical Renaissance
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Ryzhinsky Alexander S.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the phenomenon of the English musical renaissance, little studied in Russian musicology — a movement under which presently the formation of the British national compositional school of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries is comprehended. The author turns to the musical heritage of the leading composers of that period — Alexander MacKenzie, Hubert Parry, Charles Stanford and Sir Edward Elgar — with the aim of demonstrating the sources of the English musical renaissance and determining, what significance was exerted by the choral heritage by its main representatives on the subsequent evolution of choral music in Great Britain. Among the chief factors which influenced the English musical renaissance, the following are highlighted: the development of the choral festival movement, the establishment of the Royal College of Music, the directedness of the British professional education on the formation of the national school of composition, as well as Parry’s and Stanford’s active work in musical criticism and research. The peculiarities of the choral writing of each of the aforementioned composers are analyzed on the example of the most well-known works in the genres of the cantata and the oratorio. The author brings to light the general tendencies in the organization of the choral texture and timbre and the unique techniques the discovery of which is capable of making adjustments to the existent perceptions about the evolution of the choral music of the early 20th century. In particular, study of Elgar’s choral works makes it possible to confirm the composer’s interest in the textural and timbral techniques typical for the composers of the first and the second avant-garde in Europe, such as diagonal texture and non-standard unisons. The author’s conclusions make it possible to form a perception of the works by the composers of the “first renaissance trio” (Parry, Stanford, MacKenzie) and their younger contemporary Elgar as the greatest impulse of the formation of 20th century British choral music, which in the second half of the century became among the most on demand in world performance.
Music Theory and Musical Psychology: Quests and Discoveries
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Alkon Elena M.
Published: July 2023

In the sphere of integration of various disciplines and the development of interdisciplinary research music has held a special position as a phenomenon of culture and a sign system distinct for the special role of the emotional, continual-energetic and unconscious elements. The article examines the tendency of interaction between music theory and musical psychology connected with the conceptualization of the unconscious which has been existent for over a century. The author highlights the most important moments of this process, directed at forming the perception of musical thinking as a central category connecting music theory and music psychology. Observations are expressed about the character and the dynamics of the examined tendency in Russian and American musicology, about terminological conceptualization of the unconscious in musical thinking, and information is recounted about significant musicological projects connected in one way or another with this issue.
Sergei Rachmaninoff. The Prelude in C-sharp minor Opus 3 No. 2: Jazz Band Versions in the Swing Era
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Presnyakova Inga A.
Published: July 2023

Arrangements of classical music in popular genres comprises a discernible stratum of the artistic heritage of the swing era. The practice of jazzing the classics or swinging the classics affected the music of dozens of composers, including Sergei Rachmaninoff. The most highly sought primary text for instrumental transcriptions turned out to be his Prelude inC-sharp Minor. Its jazz band version (from the perspective of the correspondence to jazzing as a stylistic phenomenon and in regards to the techniques of transcription technique) have never formed the subject matter of special attention up to the present. In the article the author presents for the first time the results of examinations of jazzing-transformations of the piece. Each one of the “renewed” versions of the Prelude is endowed with common features for stylistic reorientation (the replacement of the high genres with applied ones, the “transfer” of the academic type of rhythm into swing rhythm, transformations of texture and timbre, etc.), as well as individually transubstantiated techniques of transformation of the original (first of all, the structural-compositional plane). The greatest amount of arrangements of the Prelude is designed for big bands, the sound of which may be called the sound brand of the swing era. Especially representative in this regard are the versions which sounded in performance by the orchestras of Duke Ellington (1938), Glen Gray (1939) and Jack Teagarden (1941). The arrangement from the repertoire of Jack Hilton’s orchestra (1930) stands apart among the band versions. The structure of the original is preserved precisely in it, which makes it possible to call this version a sound transcription of this piano piece. the tempo-rhythm of this example is discerned by its agogics and its absence of swing. Most specific is the sound of the arrangement oriented on Paul Whiteman’s sympho-jazz, following the example of which Hilton incorporates string instruments into his orchestra. The examined band versions of Rachmaninoff’s Preludes demonstrate both the typological correspondence to the phenomenon of jazzing the classics and the individuality of the transcription-based transformations.
Franz Schubert’s Alfonso and Estrella: Concerning the Origins of the Plotline
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Pilipenko Nina V.
Published: July 2023

Alfonso und Estrella, the only opera composed by Franz Schubert without spoken dialogue, was created in collaboration with one of the composer’s closest friends, Franz von Schober. Despite the fact that a significant amount is known about the circumstances of the libretto’s origin, we can only surmise regarding the sources on which its creator relied. In the literature about Schubert, a number of assumptions are made about these sources — two books on the history of Spain published in Germany in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as well as a number of works by German romantic writers. This article discusses other books which in all possibility served as source materials: History of Spain by Alexander Adam (Adams Geschichte von Spanien seit der Entdeckung bis zur Thron-Entsagung Karls IV), published in Vienna in 1809, as well as a number of librettos that may have been known to Schober — first of all, Der Taucher by Samuel Bürde, written for Johann Friedrich Reichardt and published in 1811 in Berlin. Based on the analysis of the plot and the poetic text of Alfonso und Estrella, it is shown that Schober was most likely familiar with these sources and actively used them when creating his own libretto.
The Paradigm of Gesture in Leevi Madetoja’s Okon Fuoko
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State A. K. Glazunov Conservatory, Nilova Vera I.
Published: July 2023

The music of Jean Sibelius’ younger contemporary and his private student Leevi Madetoja is little known in Russia. He is traditionally reckoned among the late romanticists, and his music was developed during Sibelus’ life and under his “shadow.” Nonetheless, Madetoja’s heritage is in need of a critical reevaluation in order to understand the composer’s involvement in the relevant tendencies and paradigms of 20th century music. The article brings biographical facts which formed the composer’s character and aural experience, and characterization is given to the artistic context of early 20th century Paris in the spheres of the theater and the ballet. As the object of study in the aspect of relevant paradigms, the suite from the ballet Okon Fuoko, created by the composer in 1930. The reason the ballet was forgotten after its premiere and its two genre-related versions are examined. The variant readings in determining the genre by Finnish researchers in defining the genre of the work, and the definition which was preserved in the composer’s archive is established. Paul Knudsen’s scenario appealing to the tradition of the Japanese puppet theater and the makeup of the suite are indicative for the period of the Europeans’ fascination with exoticism and search for a new plastic language. The analysis of the Grotesque Dance reveals features of gesture paradigm and the peculiarity of the composition’s musical dramaturgy, which provides grounds for calling Okon Fuoko a ballet for orchestra.
The Kashkin Dynasty and the Catalogues of Sales of Books and Music in Provincial Cities during the Second Half of the 19th and the Early 20th Centuries (from the Collections of the Russian State Library)
Authors:   Kosygin State University of Russia (Technologies. Design. Art), Institute “Academy of Maimonides”, Radzetskaya Olga V.
Published: July 2023

The article examines the work of bookstores and music stores in provincial cities. Their owners successfully adopted their manners of doing business of their colleagues from the two Russian capital cities and formed individual advertising mechanisms of their commercial operations that brought steady and stable incomes. At the present time, the characteristic features and structures of the small enterprises of that time period that were in serious competition with each other and worked to increase consumer demand and expand the market for their products, are of great interest to researchers. Among them is the Kashkin dynasty, which created a successful network of sales of books and music in Voronezh, Orel, Tver and other provincial cities. Its representatives, two brothers, Vladimir Dmitrievich and Lev Dmitrievich Kashkin, realized their potentials in detail in their commercial, creative, and social activities. The Kashkins’ bookstores and libraries epitomized their unique family experience, observed upon acquaintance with their special catalogues, which provided a distinct documentary testimony of the era. They contain valuable information about the structure and the content of the book and library funds, their quantitative and qualitative indicators, and their system of working with clients. The author of the article sees as being especially important the opening of new categories for sales of musical literature and musical instruments. In this context, this material has not yet appeared in the focus of scholarly research and appears for the first time from the position of comprehension the music publishing business in the Russian culture of the second half of the 19th and the early 20th centuries.
“In Her Own Repertoire”: Ksenia Kourakina on the Stage of the Cameo Theater Krivoe Zerkalo [Distorted Mirror]
Authors:   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music, Enukidze Natela I. ,   State Institute for Art Studies
Published: July 2023

This article presents an attempt to reconstruct the intermediate repertoire of the cameo theater Krivoe Zerkalo [Distorted Mirror]. During the Soviet period of the theater’s activity, the “singer of intimate songs” Ksenia Kourakina (1903–1988) enjoyed considerable success among the sideshow actresses, who, according to the press announcements, performed “in her own repertoire” (a Russian expression, meaning “behaving in her own typical manner”). The possibility of a partial reconstruction has been provided by materials of the State Museum of Musical and Theatrical Art (St. Petersburg). The funds of Kourakina’s archive comprise a repertoire list of 35 items, a number of musical materials (partly published, partly handwritten), as well as an autobiography written by the singer in 1950. Another source of information was the press of Petrograd (which was called Leningrad from 1924 to 1991), primarily, the journal Rabochiy i teatr [The Worker and the Theater]. The scarce amount of responses by reviewers to Kourakina’s performances, along with an analysis of the available part of the sources, allowed us to arrive at the following conclusions. Ksenia Kourakina’s overall repertoire was diverse both in terms of genre and of subject matter and, most importantly, reflected the tastes and preferences of the Soviet public in the late 1920s. The time-tested pre-revolutionary “hits” coexisted in it with new infatuations. Kourakina performed new songs about miners and street children, “street songs” and a particular song about a brick factory — the famous song Kirpichiki [The Little Bricks]. Some of them have subsequently become iconic in the history of Soviet culture. However, Kourakina herself maintained a preference of pre-revolutionary songs of the “era of tabby gowns,” — such as, Dolores, Latinsky kvartal [The Latin Quarter], etc. The most significant of them is Shumit nochnoy Marsel [Marseille is Bustling with Noise at Night] by Yuri Milyutin and Nikolai Erdman. Having been composed already in the Soviet era, it made use of the musical and literary cliches of the Silver Age, “referring” to the works of Alexander Blok, Vsevolod Meyerhold, Alexander Tairov, to Georges Bizet’s Carmen, an opera that was very popular in pre-revolutionary Russia. On the stage of Krivoe zerkalo Ksenia Kourakina did not limit herself to merely performing her songs as interludes. She “played out” the plotlines, making use of the so-called “declamatory singing” that combined “musical melodiousness, declamation and acting”. Thereby, Kourakina’s interludes presented “song theater,” the foundations of which had been previously laid by Alexander Vertinsky, Izabella Kremer and Ilia Ilsarov on the stages of Russian cabarets and cameo theaters even before 1917.
Music of the Cinema of the “New Sincerity”
Authors:   Russian State University of Cinematography named after S. Gerasimov (VGIK), Mikheeva Julia V.
Published: July 2023

The article presents the basic principles and features of the cinema of the “new sincerity”, which asserted itself in the 1980s and reflected an important trend of modern artistic and philosophical-aesthetic thought in the form of a departure from postmodern irony. At the same time, an important “methodological” approach for a creator of a work of art in this direction is to find a balance between sincerity and irony. A significant example of finding such a balance is the work of Finnish film producer Aki Kaurismäki. The article presents a sound analysis of the three of the most famous films that are the most representative of the producer’s style, classified by critics as the so-called “proletarian trilogy” — Shadows in Paradise (1986), Ariel (1988) and The Girl from the Match Factory (1990). In these films, Kaurismäki’s musical “lexicon” is, likewise, crystallized, presenting an original, diverse and, at the same time, surprisingly organic set of “identifying signs” of the musical atmosphere of his movies. An analysis of the features of the functioning role of the music in Aki Kaurismäki’s films (both as presented in the text and as remaining outside it) makes it possible for us to arrive at the following conclusions: the musical accompaniment of an episode of a film creates an opportunity for an indirect, often subtly ironic, but, nonetheless, sincere author’s statement, without a straightforward voicing of the meaning of the intra-frame action; a conscious personal choice of the musical material (both the musical quotations and the original compositions), combined with the visuals, contributes to the creation of polysemantic (intertextual) audiovisual images; the relationship of the film’s music with the producer’s off-screen world presents one of the important principles and an effective way of manifesting “new sincerity” in cinema, simultaneously contributing to the creation of unique artistic screen images; the use of a personal “musical lexicon” contributes to the development of the author’s artistic style in filmmaking, one manifestation of which is bringing in musical meta-quotations that stylistically unify the producer’s various films.
The Music of the Animated Cartoon Film Repka [The Turnip] in the Aspect of the Cinematic Text: Experience in Art Criticism
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Institute of Music, Theatre, and Choreography, Chen Zizhan
Published: July 2023

Within the focus of the author’s scholarly interest is the animated cartoon film Repka [The Turnip], created in 1936 at the Mosfilm cinematic studio. The invitation of film director Sarra Mokil and composer Vassily Shirinsky, whose curator was Alexander Ptushko, was stipulated by the special role music played in the conception of the film. Not limiting itself to illustrating the visuals of the film, the musical component of the cinematic text provides the opportunity to observed the instrumental theater manifested within its space, simultaneously carrying out the characteristic and the dramaturgical functions. The sound of the music does not cease for even a second, which bears witness to the undoubted skill of the composer, who was able to place the music on the same high level as the visual element. As the author presumes, it is particularly the distinguished status of the musical speech which brought to the reduction to a minimum of the verbal element in the cinematic text, which is realized on the level of written and oral utterances. Against the background of contemporary animated movies addressed to the young generation of Russians (the televised project Mashiny skazki[Masha’s Fairy Tales], Luntik, Mi-mi-mishki, etc.), the work of the creative team with Ptushko at the head is seen as being etalon. Such an experience makes it possible to evaluate the collective work of the film director, the composer and the group of actors as a unique example of actualization of the ethical canon – the semantic core of the Russian folk fairy tale.
Mono-Element Compositions in the Musical Art of the 20th Century
Authors:   M. I. Glinka Novosibirsk State Conservatory, Molchanov Andrey S.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the study of two types of mono-element compositions in 20th century music: those based on a single pitch and on a single chord. The author of the article ties their significance with the achievements of avant-garde music, the search for new “sound ways,” and the emancipation of particular means of the musical language. The article focuses on the works of Siberian composers Askold Murov and Sergei Tosin, who created original sound conceptions based on single pitches and single chords. The article notes the evolution of one-pitch compositions in academic music, from the idea of demonstration of various capabilities of sound to its symbolic interpretation (Alban Berg, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, and Giacinto Scelsi). It is emphasized that in Askold Murov’s composition Monophony Rethe idea of unisonance expands towards creating the setting of historical and stylistic dialogue. The development of chordal mono-element structures can be traced from the late period of Alexander Scriabin and the music of Nicolai Roslavets and continues in musical works by Alfred Schnittke and Sergei Tosin. The analysis of Tosin’s composition highlights the use of textural-timbral, rhythmic, dynamic, and electroacoustic means, the introduction of “open” material by pianists, which demonstrates the tendency to multivariate functioning of musical works. It is emphasized that Siberian composers Askold Murov and Sergei Tosin, as the result of their interest in new techniques, have made a perceptible contribution to the dissemination of sound ideas pertaining to the avant-garde trend in Russian culture and were able to demonstrate the immense micro-world of sound.
Review of the Book: Solodovnikova N. G., Sorokina E. A. Emotive Linguoecology of Modern and Ancient Texts. Volgograd: Peremena, 2021. 270 p.
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Volkova Polina S.
Published: July 2023

The publication presents a review of Ntalia Solodovnikova’s and Elena Sorokina’s monographic research Emotivnaya lingvoekologiya sovremennykh i drevnikh tekstov [Emotive Linguoecology of Contemporary and Ancient Texts] (Volgograd: Peremena, 2021, ISBN 978-5-9935-0436-0). The book is written in the tradition of the Volgograd school of emotivity, whose founder was Victor Shakhovsky (1939–2022) — a significant Russian linguist, doctor of philological sciences, professor, and recipient of the title of Merited Activist of Science of the Russian Federation, whose works are widely known both in Russia and outside of it. Besides the students who attended Professor Shakhovsky’s courses from 1969, under his guidance over thirty dissertations for the degree of Candidate of Arts and fourteen dissertations for the degree of Doctor of Arts have been defended. Among Shakhovsky’s post-graduate students was one of the authors of this monograph – Natalia Solodovnikova, as well as the author of this review. The interest towards Solodovnikova’s and Sorokina’s monographic research is stipulated by the passing of emotiveness beyond the confines of philological studies proper into the spheres of music and the visual arts.
Automated Trash Organizing Management System (A.T.O.M.S): Proposed Self-Segregating Trash Bins
Authors:   PATTS College of Aeronautics, Desolo Dennis
Published: July 2023

Waste segregation is the process of sorting and separating different types of waste to permit recycling and proper disposal. Technology businesses are attempting to address the garbage problem from a variety of angles, including improving recycling systems and developing novel materials for compostable single-use items. However, many people today do not adequately separate their waste, particularly in congested areas where people and transactions move at a rapid pace, such as malls, airports, local supermarkets, etc. The researchers propose a project termed A.T.O.M.S., or Automated Trash Organizing Management System, which is a Multi-sensorial Self Segregating Trash Bin that will be made up of several electronic components, sensors, and computer languages, and automatically classifies the waste being disposed of into specific classifications. As part of this ongoing study, the initial testing of the prototype manages to perform its initial function by detecting the type of trash and segregating it accordingly and appropriately. The results will positively impact society since the waste management system is improved. Recommendations to modify the dimensions of some parts of the device and usage of alternative power were made. The implication of this research project is the contribution of innovative solutions toward waste management process enhancement. Keywords: Waste management, segregation, innovation, experimental research.

Published: July 2023

This research assessed the mentoring skills of master teachers among kindergarten teachers amidst the pandemic based on the Hudson model. The results revealed that the master teachers’ mentoring skills in terms of personal attributes, system requirements, pedagogical knowledge, modeling, and feedback are evident. This research found that there are no significant differences in the master teachers’ mentoring skills based on Hudson’s Mentoring Model. However, the results revealed that in terms of personal attributes, there is a significant difference when grouped according to years of experience as master teachers. A significant relationship between the specific position, years of service as a master teacher, and mentoring skills is found. Thus, a school-based mentoring program among kindergarten teachers was developed. Keywords: Master teachers, mentoring, mentoring skills
