The Labyrinth: using new music experience in the performance of historical music
Authors: George Kentros
Published: October 2024

The education of a classical violinist – or mine at least, and I see scant evidence that anything else holds today – begins based on a mainstream Romantic ideal consisting of works, geniuses, and concepts of musical authenticity. This is quite useful as a tool to cajole the young violinist into learning the essentials of tone production and playing styles but is at odds with a questioning attitude towards normative traditions that might allow the musician greater interpretive freedom after gaining that technique. While the historically informed performance (HIP) movement was an early, important manifestation of this sort of questioning attitude, the experimental/avantgarde tradition, which has run parallel to these others from the early twentieth century, has not often been applied to the interpretation of historical music.

The experimental tradition does not assume conventional tone production or historical authenticity: instead, it is asking the musician to interpret the symbols on the page according to their own artistically informed predilections and contexts to produce new performances emanating from the artwork, thereby transferring more responsibility for the performance from the composer to the musician. To what extent might the experience of the performer be allowed to contribute to the performance of a historical work?

As part of a three-year artistic research project in Stockholm, I have been looking into ways of using interpretive techniques gleaned from the study of new music and applying these to historical works. This article describes some existing research that questions the traditional interpretive paradigm, along with the ontology of a musical work and its interpretation, and concludes with a case study, “The Labyrinth,” showing one way that these sorts of attitudes can be put into practice for a genre of music to which they seldom, if ever, have been applied.
Performing the changing landscape
Authors: Alžběta Trojanová
Published: October 2024

This exposition refers to arts-based research on simultaneous performative walking and singing practice in a changing environment. The act of walking is put in the context of landscape and singing representing two aspects of relation to the environment – inner and outer landscape. The object of research is traditional and authorial songs and their bodily and sensual interconnection with the process of experiencing landscape. This experience is gained with a group of artists and environmentalists who have over the course of more than a year repetitively walked through the landscape of the natural park Prokop Valley in Prague and its adjacent urban areas. Qualitative research is taken within the project “Walking as a liquid constant in urban space and landscape”. The method of data collection uses mental maps, inspired by the concept of Kevin Lynch, as a means of documentation. The exposition has three parts 1) the opening video essay, 2) Opus caementicium, autoethnographic reflection of the site, where the project takes place, and 3) Fugue of the vanishing world – an essay on the musical aspect of the project. Chapter titles are inspired by musical terminology that has content connotations in the text or mirrors the structuring of text and musical compositions.

Is There a Meaningful Difference Between Simulation and Reality? An Inquiry into Consciousness and Subjective Experience
Authors: RL* Tripathi
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the philosophical question of whether a meaningful difference exists between living in a simulation and living in what we call “reality.” Drawing from the simulation hypothesis and discussions of consciousness and subjective experience, the investigation considers whether the subjective experiences of a simulated entity could be indistinguishable from those of a human being. The central argument is that while metaphysical differences between simulation and reality exist, from the standpoint of subjective experience, the distinction may be inconsequential. We examine the implications of this idea for personal identity, free will, and the authenticity of experience. The paper concludes that, although important philosophical differences exist between simulation and reality, subjective experience and the sense of self may remain fundamentally the same in both scenarios.
Development of a person-centred, theory-based self-management intervention specific to young adults with chronic kidney disease
Authors:   , Krawiec Paula
Published: October 2024

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a rapidly increasing health concern. Healthcare interventions, including self-management interventions (SMIs), can save thousands of lives between now and 2033 (Kidney Research, 2023). CKD management is complex, requiring life-long modifications, especially for young adults (YAs) who simultaneously undergo a major life transition. However, support for this vulnerable group is lacking and more research is needed to understand how CKD affects their lives in all aspects. This multi-phase study aimed to review the literature to establish key elements of the existing CKD SMIs (Phase 1) and identify gaps through the collection of quantitative and qualitative data (Phase 2), to inform the development of an appropriate SMI for YAs (aged 18-35 years old) with CKD (all stages), guided by French et al.’ (2012) four-step approach (Phase 3). The literature review identified a lack of personalised, theory-based interventions and emphasised the potential of SMIs in improving self-efficacy compared to usual care. The quantitative (questionnaire study) and qualitative (semi-structured interviews) syntheses revealed a strong agreement on the unmet needs, social factors, psychological disorders, and inconsistent care experienced by YAs, based on their experience and those who look after them. The differences between the two analyses highlighted the complexity of self-managing CKD, emphasising the importance of understanding the various factors that influence it. Finally, the intervention development phase resulted in highly personalised to the unique needs of the target population, theory-based behavioural SMI enhancing YAs’ participation in social activities by improving their communication and self-advocacy skills, enabling them to articulate needs, preferences, and concerns, navigate social perceptions and influences, and seek emotional support when required. This novel intervention holds promise, offering a conceptual basis for understanding how it may operate, however, its future implication and evaluation are necessary to assess its feasibility in real-world settings and capture changes over time.

And in terms of cooperation, all TBMs have collaborated with organizations, communities, government agencies, and others.
The Difficulties Faced by Saudi Learners of English in Translating Collocations from English into Arabic
Authors: Samah A. Almjlad Sultan
Published: October 2024

The objective of this research was to assess the translation skills of Saudi students in rendering a specific set of English collocations into Arabic. To achieve this, twenty students in their fourth year from the Department of Languages and Translation participated in the study. The data collection method utilized was a translation test, in which students were required to translate ten collocations embedded in full sentences within one hour. These sentences were sourced from Hussain Ghazala’s Translation as Problems and Solutions. Each student translated sentences containing one of the specified collocations to address the research questions concerning the difficulties faced by Saudi EFL learners and the strategies they employ during translation. After administering the test, the researcher collected and analyzed the students’ translations. The analysis revealed that more than three-quarters of the students faced significant challenges in accurately and effectively translating English collocations into Arabic. This difficulty was largely due to their tendency to translate the individual words within the collocations separately, often relying on literal translation and incorrect paraphrasing. In light of these findings, the study offers several practical recommendations aimed at assisting Saudi English learners in overcoming these challenges and improving their ability to translate collocations more effectively.

La actualidad invita cada día desde todos los ámbitos a la reflexión sobre si nuestras estructuras siguen estando vigentes o requieren de algún cambio. En este caso, y dada la complejidad que representan hoy las relaciones internacionales, nos planteamos la necesidad o no de definir con un nuevo concepto a los ya muy conocidos derechos humanos. Ya sea porque el contexto en el que se ejercen es distinto y quizás invite a reflexionar sobre la existencia de nuevos derechos o de contenido nuevo para los ya reconocidos o ya sea porque las amenazas son distintas y cabría repensar si necesitamos nuevos mecanismos de protección para garantizarlos, entre otras cuestiones de relevancia. La respuesta a este interrogante es más que nunca, urgente.

Private banking market developments: Evidence from Hungary
Authors: Kazinczy Eszter
Published: October 2024

Private banking institutions serve the financial sector’s wealthiest clientele via a dedicated value proposition. Based on the relevant tendencies and statistics, a remarkable expansion can be outlined since the mid-1990s. The aim of this study is to elaborate the Hungarian private banking market’s development as a case study. The paper also intends to add to the literature on this unique segment of the financial market. Based on the available statistics, the analysis primarily focuses on the Hungarian private banking market’s rapid development process. This can be underpinned by the clientele’s savings, number of accounts and respective segmentation limits of the institutions. Referring to the amount of savings, a correlation analysis indicates significant co-movements with specific social and economic variables. The growth rate of the Hungarian clientele’s savings outperformed the respective indicator in Western Europe during the review time period (2007–2020). The current paper also includes a section that summarises general challenges that private banking managers need to address during the development process. Generally, the literature on private banking can still be considered scarce, whereas there is a lack of studies on the Central-Eastern European region. The analysis of the Hungarian sector’s development path can serve with relevant information to any financial expert in the field.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring such that $R=R_1\times \cdots \times R_n$. In this paper, we give a method to compute (strong) Sagbi bases for subalgebras of a polynomial ring over $R$ provided that these bases are computable in a polynomial ring over $R_i$ for $1\leq i \leq n$. As an application, we prove the existence of strong Sagbi bases for subalgebras in a polynomial ring over a principal ideal ring.
Her Data, Her Choice: A Comprehensive Look at Femtech Privacy Concerns
Authors: Konopka Violet
Published: October 2024

The land of the free? Americans today feel that they have very little, or even no control over their data being collected by private companies and the government. A huge majority of Americans are also concerned about how the data collected is being used. Women are—and should be—especially wary of the data they share, particularly when it comes to menstrual data. With the recent Dobbs decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, data protection has never been more important to preserving reproductive access for women across the country. This decision ended the constitutional right to an abortion and left the states to make their own policies regarding reproductive health. Now that this is the case, it is especially important that women’s health data be kept private to avoid prosecution. This Note explores the common uses and avenues by which health data is collected by women, current regulations in place to protect this data, and where policy changes can be made to provide better protection.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el entramado político del sistema de abasto de agua de uso doméstico del municipio de Oaxaca de Juárez desde su fundación en 1523 hasta su conformación metropolitana actual. El estudio tiene por base la hidropolítica, bajo un enfoque en la captación, abastecimiento y control. La metodología cualitativa se apoyó en un análisis explicativo del manejo del agua municipal, sustentado en fuentes primarias, como archivos históricos, documentos oficiales y estadísticos, así como artículos e investigaciones académicas que aluden al proceso historiográfico del abastecimiento de agua. Se identificaron cinco procesos hidropolíticos clave: 1) el modelo monárquico de abasto frente a la perspectiva mesoamericana de uso (1523-1821); 2) la edificación hidráulica municipal (1755-1912); 3) legislaciones, acuerdos y conflictos intermunicipales (1821-1930); 4) conformación interurbana del sistema de agua municipal (1858-actualidad), y 5) metropolización del servicio de agua (1983-actualidad). Se concluye que el sistema de agua de Oaxaca y su edificación hidráulica se han desarrollado a partir de procesos incidentales de control en la subcuenca del río Atoyac-Oaxaca, generando conflictos, tensiones y arreglos que transgredieron la esfera municipal hasta conformar una entidad metropolitana del agua.

En la cuenca Guantánamo-Guaso, ubicada en la región oriental de Cuba, los recursos hídricos están sometidos a fuertes presiones debido al desarrollo poblacional, agropecuario e industrial, constatándose el deterioro del ecosistema con la consiguiente afectación de sus bienes y servicios, e implicaciones en el abasto de agua. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el potencial hídrico superficial de la cuenca Guantánamo-Guaso a partir de la evaluación de la cantidad y calidad de sus recursos hídricos superficiales. Se utilizaron los datos de precipitaciones de 60 equipos pluviométricos localizados en el área, obteniéndose el mapa isoyético para determinar el escurrimiento medio hiperanual, considerando que la cuenca no posee estaciones hidrométricas. El potencial hídrico superficial total (232.521 hm3) resultó ser reducido en un 28 % por requerimientos ambientales y en un 19 % por la calidad del agua. Los problemas asociados con la calidad de agua se relacionan con la existencia de fuentes contaminantes; mientras que la disponibilidad está influenciada, en el último decenio, por intensas sequías, cuyos efectos se han agravado en la última década como consecuencia de los efectos del cambio climático. Esta investigación constituye un punto de partida para la toma de decisiones en la gestión hídrica de la cuenca Guantánamo-Guaso, a fin de garantizar el abasto de agua para diferentes propósitos.

La agricultura convencional depende de la aplicación de fertilizantes con el fin de lograr mayores rendimientos; sin embargo, es necesario encontrar un equilibrio entre sus beneficios y las alteraciones que pudieran producir a los ecosistemas. Organizaciones internacionales regulan su uso y comercialización teniendo en cuenta la eficacia y seguridad. IHPLUS®, producido por la Estación Experimental de Pastos y Forrajes “Indio Hatuey” (Cuba), ha mostrado ser efectivo en diferentes cultivos y es objeto en este estudio evaluar los efectos sobre la calidad del agua en el bioindicador Poecilia reticulata. Los peces fueron expuestos al producto, en régimen estático durante 96 h, a la concentración efectiva en la agricultura (6 %) o diluido hasta 106 UFC/ml según recomienda la EPA OPPTS 885.4000. Asimismo, se incluyó un grupo tratado con el producto al 6 %, pero esterilizado y un grupo control que no recibió tratamiento alguno. Se observaron durante 30 días posinoculación y se evaluó el peso, la mortalidad y otros efectos subletales. Posteriormente, se determinó la concentración letal media (CL50) y la influencia del pH sobre la mortalidad de los peces. Se pudo comprobar que al 6 % provocó eventos clínicos adversos y efecto letal en el biomodelo. Las lesiones histopatológicas se corresponden tanto para el producto activado como para el inactivado. La CL50 fue de 3.19 %, asociándose la toxicidad al pH ácido y no a la carga microbiana presente en el bioproducto. Se concluye que IHPLUS® es seguro para Poecilia reticulata a concentraciones inferiores al 3 %.

Published: October 2024

Objective: Evaluate;  identify and qualify the impacts of the dynamics of land use and coverage in the years 1973 and 2016 in the Hydrographic Basin and in the marginal strip of the Upper Moquegua River in Moquegua Peru.
Theoretical framework: In the area studied, human activities and global climate change have disturbed the balance of natural systems, causing major impacts and complex consequences on land use and cover.
 
Method: Digital image processing techniques and supervised classification using the maximum likelihood method were used, followed by matrix editing with refinement of the base and thematic cartography, reaching 94.4% accuracy in interpretation for the year 2016.
 
Result and discussion: The main changes identified regarding the dynamics of land use and coverage were similar in the basin area and in the marginal strip.  An increase was noted in the urban area of the entire basin of 568.53ha (1,097.96%) and 134.86ha (1,263.33%) in the marginal strip, which may have been largely influenced by mining activity, which was not observed in 1973, but present in 2016, occupying an area of 1,092.77ha throughout the basin, with 171.99ha in the marginal strip.  The areas that had the greatest reduction were those of the glacier, with 2,275.39ha (-93.33%) in the entire basin and 83.77ha (-100.00%) in the marginal strip.
 
Conclusion: With the results of this research, we hope to contribute to the literature related to the topic and to actions and public policies that encourage the appropriate use of land in the Upper Moquegua River Basin, especially in environmental protection areas.

El libro Paradigmas contemporáneos sobre derecho de daños es resultado de una serie de trabajos organizados por el cuerpo académico Estudios Jurídicos. Durante los encuentros entre los estudiosos se detonó un gran interés en los temas sobre el derecho de daños, descubriendo nuevos escenarios en la ciencia jurídica para continuar discutiendo con una perspectiva más actual, tratando de mantener los recursos lo más a la vanguardia posible para enfrentar los retos de nuestro acelerado tiempo. Los temas analizados –en el marco del derecho comparado, de la legislación nacional, de la jurisprudencia y de la doctrina– obligan al lector a reflexionar sobre los alcances y la aplicación de las novedosas disposiciones relativas a daños provocados por la inteligencia artificial, daños en las relaciones familiares y la problemática actual de la responsabilidad civil por daños en cuestiones específicas.
Call for Papers Refugee Return

Published: October 2024

This issue of Refuge, Canada's periodical on refugees, will address the process of refugee return to their home countries. In a number of cases around the world, peace treaties and similar agreements following displacement-inducing conflicts have made this possible. Examples from the past decade are the return of Guatemalans from Mexico, of Mozambiquans from Malawi, of Chittagong hillpeople from India back to Bangladesh, and of Bosnians from other countries in Europe.

Objective: To identify the risk factors related to Schistosomiasis mansoni in a quilombola community located in a highly endemic area in the Northeast of Brazil. Methods: This is an ecological epidemiological study conducted with 497 individuals, of both sexes aged over 4 years. Information on sociodemographic, economic, and environmental data from the quilombola community of Patioba was collected through a questionnaire, stored in an Excel database, and evaluated by descriptive statistics. Results: From the sample, 53.92% were women and 46.08% men, approximately 43.25% of the population had incomplete elementary education, 58.35% had a family income between 1 and 3 minimum wages, 49.89% disposed sewage in the street, 95.97% stated they had household garbage collection, 88.93% reported consuming well water, 65.19% reported having contact with natural waters, 26.15% had undergone diagnostic testing for schistosomiasis, and 15.69% had tested positive for the disease. During the visits, several snail breeding sites were observed. Conclusion: The absence of water supply and sewage treatment, the low socioeconomic status of the studied families, and the significant presence of the parasite's intermediate hosts in the streets of the settlement are strong indicators that this population is exposed to the risk of contracting the disease.

Published: October 2024

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common congenital anomaly in preterm infants. We report here a case of 28-day-old preterm infant, weighing 1.6 kg, with significant PDA, having bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, and meningitis; presented for PDA ligation in view of prolonged ventilator dependence, non-responsiveness to pharmacological therapy for PDA closure, and continuous worsening of hemodynamics due to the presence of large PDA.
METHOXYFLURANE: A HISTORICAL REVIEW AND SAFETY ANALYSIS OF ITS USE AS AN ANALGESIC IN EMERGENCY AND OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES
Authors: DUBROV S. , CHERNIAIEV S.
Published: October 2024

OMethoxyflurane, introduced as an anesthetic agent in the 1960s, quickly gained popularity due to its potent properties. However, its use as an anesthetic was discontinued due to significant side effects, particularly nephrotoxicity, manifested as acute renal failure with high diuresis. By the mid-1970s, methoxyflurane was withdrawn from the anesthetic market in North America and gradually worldwide. It was later discovered that low-dose methoxyflurane had powerful analgesic properties, allowing its use for short-term pain relief in traumatic injuries and during ambulatory procedures. Australian emergency services began using portable methoxyflurane inhalers for emergency care. Clinical trials confirmed the effectiveness of this agent, with no significant side effects such as renal or hepatic toxicity reported.
The physicochemical properties of methoxyflurane, particularly its high lipid solubility and low vapor pressure, provide a slow onset of sedation, limiting its sedative effects when used short-term.
Clinical studies have confirmed the safety and efficacy of methoxyflurane in conducting ambulatory procedures such as colonoscopy and burn wound dressing changes. Methoxyflurane reduces anxiety and pain, allowing patients to return to normal activities more quickly.
Thus, methoxyflurane, used as a low-dose inhaled analgesic, can be an effective and safe pain relief option during ambulatory medical and surgical procedures, particularly in patients at high risk of complications from traditional sedation methods. Further research, including large randomized controlled trials, may provide additional evidence to support the potential benefits of methoxyflurane.
CONTINUOUS VENO-VENOUS HEMODIAFILTRATION IN MULTIPLE TRAUMA WITH ACUTE RENAL FAILURE

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Acute kidney injury (AKI) develops in 20 % of multiple trauma victims in intensive care units. In 10 % – 28 % of cases, these victims require renal replacement therapy.
The aim of our study was to study the effect of continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) on indicators of kidney function, hemodynamics, homeostasis and inflammation in victims of multiple trauma, complicated by rhabdomyolysis and AKI.
Materials and methods. 71 victims with multiple trauma complicated by massive rhabdomyolysis and AKI were examined. The levels of total creatine kinase and myoglobin, indicators of kidney function, frequency of vasopressor support, indicators of general blood count, liver complex, coagulogram, and blood gas were studied. The study was conducted at admission, before and after each CVVHDF session and on the last day of treatment.
The results. Multiple trauma with massive rhabdomyolysis resulted in AKI with oliguria, hyperazotemia, and hyperkalemia, as well as cardiovascular failure, anemia, hepatic dysfunction, and an inflammatory response. In the case of progressing renal failure despite conservative therapy, CVVHDF was started on day 2.7±0.5. After 1 session of CVVHDF, hyperazotemia was significantly reduced, and potassium levels were normalized. Indicators of the blood count and liver complex did not change. Due to the use of heparin in the circuit, there was a significant prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time, which did not exceed the target values. 1 session of CVVHDF was sufficient for 71.8 % of victims. Among the survivors, restoration of diuresis was observed in 63.9 %. The mortality rate was 42.3 %. However, there was no significant difference in azotemia levels between survivors and non-survivors, but non-survivors had higher potassium levels, more severe thrombocytopenia, cardiovascular and hepatic failure, and hypocoagulation. In addition, the ISS score in non-survivors was 37.8 % (p=0.001) higher than in the survivors.
Conclusions. Multiple trauma, complicated by massive rhabdomyolysis, causes the development of multiple organ failure, primarily renal. CVVHDF allows to effectively reduce the levels of azotemia and normalize the level of potassium after the first session, while avoiding abrupt fluctuations in the indicators of the function of other organs and systems. A single session of CVVHDF is sufficient to restore renal function in most patients. Mortality remains high and depends directly on the severity of anatomical injuries and the addition of insufficiency of other organs and systems.
