Introdução: O mucocelo é uma lesão benigna resultante da alteração do fluxo salivar das glândulas salivares minor em contexto de trauma ou obstrução (inflamação crónica, fibrose ductal, sialolitíase, neoplasia). A prevalência é de 2.4/1000 casos, ocorrendo em 70% dos casos antes dos 20 anos, sem predileção racial ou género. Clinicamente é uma lesão de volume flutuante, dimensão variável (habitualmente inferior a 1 cm), coloração azulada-translúcida ou rosada/violácea. É mais comum no lábio inferior, seguida do dorso da língua, pavimento (rânula) ou outros. A excisão cirúrgica constitui a abordagem goldstandard na prevenção da sua recorrência embora outras técnicas (LASER, criocirurgia e eletroterapia) possam ser consideradas. Apresentamos um caso raro de mucocele do palato duro, uma localização rara, com menos de 5 casos descritos na literatura. Descrição do Caso Clínico: Mulher, 47 anos, saudável, foi referenciada à consulta de Estomatologia por lesão indolor no palato duro desde há 1 ano. Negou tratamentos dentários recentes, trauma intraoral, perceção de alteração periódica do volume ou de extravasamento de conteúdo. No exame intraoral observou-se lesão palatina volumosa (10 mm x 5 mm x 3 mm), de conformação elíptica, superfície lisa, coloração violácea, tensa e não depressível à palpação. Sem adenopatias cervicais palpáveis. Foi realizada excisão sob anestesia local com disseção por planos e curetagem da loca cirúrgica. Não se observou deformidade óssea adjacente. A doente foi medicada com paracetamol 1g de 8/8h, 3-5 dias e aplicação local de Elugel®, 7 dias. A análise histopatológica descreveu um mucocelo de retenção. Aos 30 dias de pós-operatório verificou-se cicatrização completa da mucosa do palato, sem sinais de recidiva. Discussão e Conclusões: Esta apresentação relata um caso raro de mucocelo pela idade da doente, tempo de evolução prolongado, sem fator etiológico identificável, dimensão e localização pouco frequentes. A ausência de características típicas torna- o um desafio diagnóstico, podendo mimetizar lesões de etiologia inflamatória, reacional, infeciosa, auto-imune, iatrogénica, vascular, neoplásica, entre outras. A abordagem sistematizada evitará diagnósticos incorretos envolvendo opções de tratamento dirigido sem impacto indesejável na qualidade de vida.
LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF PIVOTED CURVED SLIDER BEARINGS SUBJECT TO SURFACE ROUGHNESS PATTERN AND NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID FLOW BEHAVIOR
Authors: Kumar Rahul Amit , Kumar Singh Manoj , Namah Sivaya Om , Chandra Maury Saurabh , Tiwari Ravi , Biswas Rohahn
Published: December 2024

The present paper analyzes the Rabinowitsch fluid (RF) behavior on a pivoted curved slider with surface roughness (SR) with the aid of the perturbation technique. In order to account for the random roughness of the bearing surfaces, a stochastic random variable with a nonzero mean, variance, and skewness was taken into consideration. The averaged Reynolds equation (RE) was developed using a stochastic random variable. The load carrying capacity (LCC) and centre of pressure (COP) were obtained by solving the relevant stochastically averaged RE with appropriate boundary conditions. Bearing performance was observed to suffer as a result of transverse SR; nevertheless, the bearing system's efficiency can be increased in the case of negatively-skewed SR. It was demonstrated that, unlike a traditional lubricant, the bearing can withstand a LCC even in the absence of flow. The outcomes of the current paper can be helpful in various modern mathematical physics engineering applications.
Funkcje prymarne i pozycje spoczynkowe warg, języka i żuchwy a wady wymowy u dzieci w wieku przedszkolnym
Authors: Sukiennik Maria
Published: December 2024

W przedszkolach coraz więcej dzieci zakwalifikowanych zostaje na zajęcia logopedyczne. Równie duża liczba dzieci reprezentuje nieprawidłowości z zakresu funkcji prymarnych, których podstawą prawidłowego przebiegu są odpowiednio przybrane układy warg, żuchwy oraz języka w spoczynku. Zauważa się również zaburzenia mięśni orofacjalnych, mających wpływ na statykę i dynamikę wspomnianych narządów. Mimo iż temat ten jest już powszechny w polskiej literaturze, nadal potrzebne są badania wśród licznych grup dzieci, aby unaocznić ten problem. 
Celem artykułu jest dostrzeżenie coraz częściej pojawiających się wspomnianych zaburzeń wśród dzieci przedszkolnych, wynikających zarówno z zaburzeń funkcjonowania mięśni układu orofacjalnego, jak i nieprawidłowo przyjmowanych pozycji spoczynkowych warg, żuchwy oraz języka. Badanie przeprowadzone na 51 dzieciach ukazuje również wzajemny wpływ powyższych aspektów na prawidłowy rozwój czynności prymarnych i czynności sekundarnej – mowy.
Zależność pomiędzy wybranymi czynnikami lateralizacji a preferowaną stroną żucia
Authors: Szczudło-Oborska Wiktoria
Published: December 2024

Niniejszy artykuł przybliża zjawisko powiązania między nożnością a preferencjami dotyczącymi gryzienia oraz żucia. Żucie – jako jedna z funkcji prymarnych – jest bardzo ważną czynnością z perspektywy profilaktyki i terapii logopedycznej. Podczas opracowywania kęsa pokarmowego zęby, mięśnie żujące, mięśnie języka oraz mięśnie otoczenia szpary ust wykonują skomplikowaną pracę i koordynują szereg precyzyjnych ruchów. W taki sposób kształtuje się biomechaniczna baza traktu ustno-twarzowego, na podstawie której budowana jest prawidłowa artykulacja. Żucie – jako czynność fizjologiczna – należy do czynności zlateralizowanych. Taki stan rzeczy może być pierwotnie skorelowany z asymetrią anatomiczną i fizjologiczną mózgu. Badacze związani z naukami medycznymi (stomatologią, ortodoncją, protetyką), neurolingwistyką oraz neuropsychologią poszukują związków pomiędzy wzorcem lateralizacji a preferencjami żucia. Na gruncie logopedycznym wątki te są jednak poruszane bardzo rzadko. Podejrzewa się, że całościowa lateralizacja pozwoli spojrzeć na model żucia w sposób bardziej precyzyjny, zauważyć potencjalne nieprawidłowości wynikające z nawyków związanych z obróbką pokarmu, a w konsekwencji wyciągnąć wnioski istotne w postępowaniu logopedycznym (profilaktycznym i terapeutycznym). Ze względu na obszerność tego zagadnienia w niniejszym artykule została poruszona jedynie kwestia korelacji pomiędzy nożnością a preferowaną stroną żucia.
Ocena struktury i mobilności języka u osób dorosłych – wyniki ilościowych i jakościowych badań pilotażowych
Authors: Gawryl Małgorzata , Siudak Anna
Published: December 2024

Niniejszy artykuł jest odpowiedzią na potrzebę dyskusji nad budową wędzidełka języka oraz jej wpływu na występowanie rozmaitych dysfunkcji jamy ustnej. Obliczenia statystyczne, dokonane przez autorki, stanowią badania pilotażowe, w których udział wzięło 201 osób. Ocenie podlegała nie tylko budowa anatomiczna języka, ale także najczęściej towarzyszące nieprawidłowościom korelaty: problemy ortodontyczne, fizjoterapeutyczne czy artykulacyjne. 
I choć autorki – z uwagi na rozmiary tekstu – nie podjęły w artykule problemu skrócenia wędzidełka języka w ujęciu terapeutycznym, to jednak mają nadzieję, że wyniki obserwacji oraz dane statystyczne dokonane na podstawie badania dużej grupy populacyjnej przyczynią się do rozwoju wiedzy na temat postępowania terapeutycznego w przypadku ankyloglosji.

Developing High-Quality Science and Technology Human Resources in Universities through Knowledge Transfer from International Science and Technology Projects: A Theoretical Approach
Authors: Thanh Tuan Nguyen
Published: December 2024

Universities are crucial in developing high-quality human resources for national development goals. In many countries, universities are regarded as the "cradle of talent," contributing to social progress and enhancing national competitiveness. Alongside their research function, universities serve as "incubators" for high-quality science and technology (S&T) human resources. In addition to training potential personnel such as students, graduate students, and doctoral candidates, universities are also hubs for knowledge transfer activities targeting high-quality S&T human resources. These efforts aim to cultivate a workforce capable of producing innovative and high-quality S&T products, thereby contributing significantly to national development. Accordingly, the implementation of international collaborative projects in the field of S&T has proven to be highly effective in facilitating multi-level knowledge transfer activities. Such initiatives enable universities to achieve streamlined and intelligent governance. Building upon theoretical frameworks and project management approaches, this paper will analyze the critical importance of promoting knowledge transfer activities for developing S&T human resources in universities. Furthermore, it proposes a specialized model for this knowledge transfer process through international S&T projects conducted within universities.

Published: December 2024

Remedies for breach of commercial contracts play an important role. However, the current literature has not focused comprehensively on the application of all remedies provided in the Vietnamese Commercial Law 2005 in the adjudication process of the Vietnamese courts. This study attempts to fill the gap. The authors collect and analyse all the first instance decisions of the provincial-level People's Courts in the country from the beginning of 2019 to the end of 2023. The results show that only half of the remedies stipulated in the law are usually awarded by the courts; and the simultaneous imposition of remedies is common. In addition, some of the shortcomings in the reasoning and application of remedies are also analyzed in detail, as a premise for future studies.

Published: December 2024

Teat dipping is the activity of dipping the nipples of dairy cattle into an antiseptic solution that serves to coat and protect the nipples of livestock from harmful bacterial contamination so as not to cause disease in dairy cattle. This study aimed to obtain preliminary information about the color and screening of alkaloid and saponin content in the eco-enzyme solution, which will later be used as one of the natural antiseptic candidates for teat dipping solution in dairy cattle. This research uses descriptive analysis with the parameters observed, namely color and screening of alkaloid and saponin content in eco-enzyme solutions that have been diluted previously with the following percentages: A: 30% eco-enzyme solution + 70% aquades, B: 60% eco-enzyme solution + 30% aquades, and C: 100% eco-enzyme solution. From the results, it was found that the color of eco-enzyme solution A (transparent yellow), B (transparent yellow), and C (intense yellow and translucent color) while the qualitative test obtained A: positive, B: positive, C: positive (alkaloid content); A: negative, B: positive, and C: positive (saponin content). The results of color tests and screening of alkaloid and saponin content showed that good results were obtained in 100% eco-enzyme solution (C), which can be used as a candidate for natural teat dipping solution in dairy cows.
Can generative artificial intelligence help or hinder sustainable marketing?
Authors: McCarthy Breda
Published: December 2024

The consumption and production of household goods and services is a significant contributor to climate change, which has led to the rise of more sustainable brands. The aim of this paper is to offer an analysis of the advantages, practical applications, limitations and ethical risks of GenAI within the realm of sustainable marketing.  The paper contributes to the literature since there is a scarcity of scholarly research that explores what GenAI could mean for sustainable marketing. The findings show that GenAI is a double-edged sword: it has the potential to foster creativity, support brand activism, increase public support for ‘green’ policies, and improve efficiencies, however the potential for ‘ethics-washing’ could harm sustainable brands.  Many countries have developed voluntary principles and frameworks to ensure that AI is practiced in a safe and responsible manner. A comprehensive classification of these principles is provided. Five key ethical principles are summarised such as benefiting society, avoiding harm, autonomy, justice, and explainability. The paper concludes with recommendations for bridging the gap between ethical principles and practices in the context of sustainable marketing, including selective disclosure, design of inclusive chatbots, use of visualizations to achieve sustainability goals, third party certification schemes, training and education.  Recommendations for future research are outlined.

Authors: Gupta Mansee , Nofal Arif Rahmanda
Published: December 2024

For any country, the construction industry forms the backbone of economic growth and development. In recent times, Australian construction sector has been struggling to keep up with the increasing demands of economic growth. Being one of the least digitalised industries, the construction industry is facing myriad of challenges including inaccurate cost efficiencies, labour shortages and poor quality management and limited visibility to all the stakeholders. The advancement of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain has proven to be transformational in other sectors such as finance and banking. This research paper examines the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain throughout the different phases of the construction project lifecycle. The adoption of AI is met with resistance from leadership and sceptic approach from users. The role of leadership becomes pivotal in widespread adoption of AI and thus changing the attitude of users from “resistance to change” to “receptiveness to change.” Furthermore, various management strategies and recommendations have been discussed in detail to help the leadership teams to accelerate the digital transformation in the Australian construction industry.
Harvesting Intelligence
Authors: Archer Ben
Published: December 2024

This study examines the pervasive artificial intelligence skill shortages in regional, remote, and rural Australia, highlighting the unique challenges these areas face in effectively utilising artificial intelligence technologies. These non-urban regions are experiencing a digital divide, characterised by reduced access to key infrastructure and limited post-secondary educational opportunities. Utilising the Australian Skills Classification system, this research delineates the current skill sets required for artificial intelligence implementation, revealing pronounced deficiencies in these communities. The study finds that the lack of accessible training opportunities further exacerbates this skill gap. The research employs visual mapping analysis to illustrate the distribution of artificial intelligence-related educational opportunities and industry impacts across non-metropolitan areas. Findings indicate a significant disparity in artificial intelligence training availability, with qualifications predominantly concentrated in urban areas. The study also identifies specific skill shortages in artificial intelligence-related professions both nationally and regionally, particularly in industries such as pharmacology, social work, psychology, and transport analysis. This research underscores the urgency of bridging the digital divide to ensure equitable skill development across Australia, providing a foundation for future policy development and educational initiatives in non-urban areas.

Authors: Naratama Evan , Iswahyudi Muhammad Subhan
Published: December 2024

Facing strong industry pressures, an Indonesian telecommunications company formulates a transformation strategy. The company aims to perform business refocusing to exploit the growing business-to-business (B2B) market. Consequently, the employees need a reskilling program from business-to-consumer (B2C) marketing to B2B marketing. However, there are complexities and uncertainties in managing the reskilling program. From the information and technology field, agile approaches offer methodologies for managing a project amidst high uncertainties and external changes. Currently, research on how agile approaches benefit non-information technology projects such as reskilling is few. This research aims to explore the key benefits and challenges in implementing a reskilling program with an agile framework. Methodology applied in this study includes secondary data analysis, interviews and thematic analysis to gain insight from qualitative data collection. The interview results indicate that an agile approach benefits participants by vast learning opportunities, strengthening their understanding of new target markets, and gaining confidence and a new mindset in conducting B2B sales. Moreover, the challenges that must be addressed are that the generalized journey design does not effectively cater to the diverse needs of all participants, as well as difficulties in managing time to balance initial assignments and mastering product knowledge within a short timeframe.

Authors: Truong Thi Le Hang , Nguyen Ngoc Thong , Tran Vu Phong , Le Tan Tai
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on self-directed learning and critical thinking among employees in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. A mixed-methods research approach was employed, combining a quantitative survey of 305 employees across various industries and qualitative data from 15 in-depth interviews with managers and staff. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships between AI access, employee attitudes, organizational support, digital literacy, and self-learning outcomes. Qualitative analysis provided additional insights into contextual factors influencing AI adoption. The findings highlight that AI significantly enhances self-directed learning when SMEs offer structured training programs and technological resources. Employees with strong critical thinking skills effectively utilize AI tools for evidence-based decision-making and analytical tasks. However, barriers such as disparities in digital literacy, inconsistent AI adoption strategies, and insufficient organizational support hinder optimal outcomes. Organizational support emerged as a key enabler, with employees receiving adequate training reporting improved learning and skill development. This study extends the Self-Directed Learning Theory (SDL) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by identifying mediating roles of organizational and individual factors. Practical recommendations include fostering digital literacy, critical thinking, and AI-supportive organizational cultures to optimize workforce development.
GOOD FAITH AS LEGAL BENCHMARK FOR THE ALLOCATION OF LOSSES BY MUTUAL COMPANY
Authors: Widodo Danu Kristian Ira
Published: December 2024

Allocation of losses is a special scheme that can only be applied to mutual companies, legal entities that position policyholders as both insured parties and owners. The problem with the allocation of losses arises because, in its determination, policyholders are required to fulfill mutual obligations in the fiduciary realm as owners. On the other hand, the allocation of losses has implications for reducing the policyholder’s right to receive claims as agreed. This paper is a legal research study employing a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that, for the allocation of losses to have legitimacy, it must align with fiduciary principles and be fair based on the terms of insurance agreements. The legal findings suggest that the principle of utmost good faith should be expanded in mutual companies to serve as an instrument of checks and balances by policyholders over management and aspects related to the fulfillment of agreements.
REACHING SDG TARGET 14.4 BY ESTABLISHING PROVISIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION
Authors: Ramon Adrianus Adityo Vito
Published: December 2024

The research article argues that establishing provisional arrangements for law enforcement operations in overlapping maritime claims areas could be a viable option for claimant states to suppress illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUUF), which hinders progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 14.4. This target emphasizes sustainable fishing practices, marine life protection, and effective fish population management, aiming to prevent overfishing, reduce harmful fishing techniques, and ensure the sustainability of fish stocks. Under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, provisional arrangements for law enforcement operations can provide a practical framework for claimant states to conduct joint efforts, pending and without prejudice to the final resolution of overlapping maritime claims. To substantiate this argument, the article employs a juridical normative legal research method to: analyze the connection between SDG Target 14.4 and IUUF, which may impede progress toward the goal; examine the challenges of enforcing laws in overlapping maritime claims areas, including the factors contributing to IUUF in such contexts; and assess the potential impact of provisional arrangements for law enforcement on suppressing IUUF and advancing the achievement of SDG Target 14.4. The study highlights that these arrangements could serve as a collaborative interim solution, promoting sustainable development and marine ecosystem conservation while territorial disputes remain unresolved.

Authors: Herz Sophie , Kyosev Yordan
Published: December 2024

With the rising demand for automation and robotization in the textile industry, a variety of gripping solutions for textile materials has been developed in recent years. The increase in finger grippers is noticeable, however, a difference in the applicability and the holding force of finger grippers can be observed. Understanding the correlation between characteristics of the picked up textile materials, the style, coating and material of the gripper and the repeatability of the pick up process and the gripping force is crucial for their successful industrial integration. In this paper, the correlations between the properties of the different textiles and the gripping performance of a finger gripper are investigated. Bending stiffness, lateral compressibility, friction parameters and other textile characteristics are compared to the gripping force of the gripper with the selected textiles. The most important parameters are selected by principal component analysis and investigated for correlation.

Authors: Volokh E. D. , Alekseenko N. A. , Medvedev A. A.
Published: December 2024

The relevance of gas hydrates studying is deﬁned to their potential role as an alternative energy source and an important element in the research of climate change. The main purpose of this literature review is to systematize existing methods for detecting gas hydrates, as well as to analyze their effectiveness and applicability in various conditions. The research objectives include the assessment of modern technologies such as seismic sensing, geophysical methods, chemical analysis of samples, the use of remote sensing data, and various modeling options. A number of publications based on such databases as GoogleScholar, GeoRef, and ResearchGate on methods for detecting gas hydrates, with an emphasis on their technological aspects and practical applications were found. The used methods include comparative analysis, meta-analysis of data, and evaluation of ﬁeld research results. As a result, it was revealed that the most effective methods are represented by combinations of geophysical methods that allow to increase the accuracy of localization gas hydrates localization. Moreover, remote sensing methods are becoming more popular as an effective tool for identifying sources of methane emissions, usually associated with hydrate deposits. The main ﬁndings show that despite the advances in gas hydrate detection, there is a need in developing more sensitive and cost-effective technologies. The prospects for further research include the integration of new sensor technologies and modelling to improve the accuracy of predictions of gas hydrate deposits. The areas of future researches may cover both theoretical aspects and practical implementation of new methods in the ﬁeld.
О тематической работе в трех фугах Иоганна Себастьяна Баха
Authors: Южак К.И.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматриваются три фуги И. С. Баха, в которых системно функционируют два рода тематических преобразований, выходящие за рамки обычных и необходимых для развертывания формы средств — имитационного и тонально ладового продвижения темы, а также поддержки ее противосложениями. Эти два рода воздействий — стретта и противодвижение (обращение, инверсия). В анализируемых фугах они выступают как наиболее действенные конструктивные средства, определяющие весь ход становления фуги и ее композиционный тип. Две из обсуждаемых в статье фуг входят в состав «Хорошо темперированного клавира» (dis-moll из I тома и b-moll из II тома), третья — Контрапункт 5 из «Искусства фуги». Дополнением, подтверждающим структурные идеи, реализованные в монументальном творении Баха, служит краткий анализ Контрапункта 10 — переработки Фуги VI из ран них версий цикла, первоначально основанной на том же варианте темы цикла, что и Контрапункт 5. В окончательной версии Контрапункт 10 — двойная фуга, и к ее пер вой теме — бывшему удержанному противосложению — конспективно применены преобразования, освоенные на теме Контрапункта 5. Характер использования стретты и инверсии в анализируемых фугах убедительно подтверждает незыблемое отношение Баха к теме как целостной структуре, подлежащей бережному исследованию, раскрытию, истолкованию и в итоге — утверждению.

Johann Sebastian Bach, “The Well-Tempered Clavier”, “The Art of Fugue”, types of response, types of stretta, inversion, pre-imitation, chorale fugue, fugue on chorale

This article examines three fugues by J. S. Bach, in which two types of thematic transformations systematically operate, extending beyond the usual and necessary means for developing this form — namely, imitative and tonal-modal progression of the theme, as well as its support through countersubjects. These two types of transformations are stretto and contrary motion (inversion). In the fugues analysed, they serve as the most effective constructive devices, determining the entire course of the fugue’s development and its compositional type. Two of the fugues discussed here are parts of The Well-Tempered Clavier (D sharp minor from Book I and B flat minor from Book II), while the third is Contrapunctus 5 from The Art of Fugue. A brief analysis of Contrapunctus 10 — a reworking of Fugue VI from early versions of the cycle, originally based on the same thematic variant as Contrapunctus 5 — further confirms the structural ideas realised in this monumental work by Bach. In its final version, Contrapunctus 10 is a double fugue, and transformations previously applied to the theme of Contrapunctus 5 are concisely applied to its first theme, which was originally the retained countersubject. The use of stretto and inversion in the analysed fugues convincingly demonstrates Bach’s steadfast approach to the theme as a cohesive structure, deserving of careful examination, elaboration, interpretation, and ultimately, affirmation.
Учебная фуга Сергея Танеева на баховскую тему
Authors: Монич М.Л.
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена одной из неопубликованных учебных фуг С. И. Танеева — на тему фуги D-dur из II тома «Хорошо темперированного клавира» И. С. Баха (BWV 874), — хранящейся вместе с другими учебными работами начинающего музыканта в архиве Государственного мемориального музея-заповедника П. И. Чайковского в Клину. Здесь приведены полная расшифровка фуги и ее анализ, а также про комментированы правки, внесенные в нотный текст Н. А. Губертом, что позволяет расширить и уточнить представления о становлении Танеева-композитора, педагога и ученого. Обсуждение его первой написанной целиком фуги поднимает многие, притом весьма различные, вопросы — о формировании отечественной системы профессионального музыкального образования; о методике преподавания контрапункта и фуги; о глубинной связи музыкального материала и возникающей на его основе композиции; о проблемах стиля и техники. При всей несхожести двух фуг — баховской и танеевской — в них оказываются воплощены сходные музыкальные идеи, и лежат они в области применения сложного контрапункта.

This article is dedicated to one of the unpublished student fugues by Ser gei I. Taneyev — based on the theme of the D major fugue from Book II of J. S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier (BWV 874) — which is preserved along with other early works from the young musician in the archive of the Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky State Memorial Museum-Re serve in Klin. The complete transcription of the fugue and its analysis are presented here, along with commentary on the revisions made to the musical text by Nikolai A. Hubert. This allows us to expand and clarify our understanding of the formative period in Taneyev’s de velopment as a composer, teacher, and scholar. T he discussion of his first fully composed fugue raises many and quite different questions: about the formation of the Russian system of professional music education, about the meth odology of teaching counterpoint and fugue, about the deep connection between musical material and the composition that emerges from it, as well as issues of style and technique. In spite of all the differences between the two fugues — Bach’s and Taneyev’s — they em body similar musical ideas, particularly in their application of double counterpoint.

Many countries across the globe witnessed the challenges caused by COVID-19 Pandemic and Nigeria is not an exception as many economic activities were crippled. In Anambra State, many people died as a result of this catastrophe, and many sectors were economically affected, including agricultural and manufacturing industries. Accordingly, this study examined the effect of COVID-19 on the marketability of rice produced in Nigeria using Anambra State as a reference point. Specifically, the study investigated the effect of high price of rice, movement restriction, market closure, and high transportation costs on the marketability of locally produced rice. The survey research method was adopted and while the target population is 1798, the sample size is 327. The data source is primary and a structured questionnaire was administered to the respondents for data collection. The reliability value of 0.7939 established the internal consistency of the measuring instrument. However, multiple regression analysis statistical tool was used to test the hypotheses at a 5% significance level. The findings revealed that high price of rice, movement restriction, market closure, and high transportation costs had significant and negative effects on the marketability of locally produced rice in Anambra State. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant and negative effect on the marketability of locally-produced rice. Thus, the government should provide an enabling environment to encourage rice producers to transition into digital marketing channels to minimize the negative effects of COVID-19 and other unpredictable future pandemic business provocations.

In the bustling landscape of North-Eastern Nigeria, where resilience meets innovation, a ground-breaking study has unearthed the keys to sustainable wealth creation for Women Small and Medium Enterprises (WSMEs) through the dynamic realm of digital marketing. Nestled within the vibrant markets of Adamawa, Bauchi, and Gombe states, this research delved deep into the fabric of entrepreneurship, employing a meticulously crafted multistage sampling technique to capture the essence of women’s economic empowerment. Harnessing the power of modern technology, an online questionnaire became the conduit through which the voices of these visionary entrepreneurs echoed. Their insights, aspirations, and challenges were meticulously analysed using the formidable toolset of regression analysis, guided by the sophisticated SPSS software version 23. The findings of this ground-breaking study resonated with a resounding clarity: practical resource utilization and financial literacy emerge as stalwart pillars, fortifying the performance of WSMEs. The significance of astute resource management and financial acumen cannot be overstated, as they emerge as potent catalysts propelling these enterprises towards unparalleled success. Yet, amidst the backdrop of opportunity, a nuanced revelation emerged – the encumbrance of external pressures, manifested in the form of subjective norms, cast shadows upon performance outcomes. Herein lies a poignant lesson for WSMEs – a call to discerningly navigate the terrain of external expectations, empowering themselves to chart their own course with unwavering determination. However, amidst the challenges, a beacon of hope shines brightly – the profound impact of behavioural intention. With each intention forged, a pathway to success is illuminated, underscoring the pivotal role of mind-set in shaping performance outcomes. In light of these transformative insights, the study issues a clarion call for action. Awareness must be kindled among WSMEs, enlightening them to the subtle yet potent influence of subjective norms on their journey towards prosperity. Moreover, WSMEs are implored to transcend intentions, bridging the chasm between aspiration and achievement through decisive action. In the vibrant tapestry of North-Eastern Nigeria’s entrepreneurial landscape, a new dawn beckons. Armed with knowledge, fortified by resilience, women entrepreneurs stand poised to unleash a tidal wave of innovation, ushering in an era of sustainable wealth creation that reverberates far beyond the confines of their states.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which was caused by SARS-CoV-2, initiated a global health crisis in 2019. SARS-CoV-2 is a single-stranded RNA virus encased in a lipid envelope that houses key structural proteins, including the Spike glycoprotein, which mediates viral entry into host cells. Within the Spike protein, the S2 subunit, and particularly its fusion domain, plays a critical role in merging viral and host membranes. Understanding the fusion domain interactions at the molecular level is important for advancing applications such as the development of novel antiviral therapies. This study investigates the self-assembly of SARS-CoV-2 S2 subunit fusion peptides (FPs) and their interaction with biomimetic plasma membrane (PM) models composed of physiological mixes of phospholipids, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol. Complementary techniques, including atomic force microscopy, neutron reflectometry and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction, provided detailed insights into lipid nano-mechanics and in-plane molecular structure. Our findings reveal several types of FP assemblies at the PM interface, including the formation of rigid fibres, spiral structures, and segregated domains. These behaviours are influenced by FP intrinsic features such as hydrophobicity and molecular structure, and the resultant interactions with lipid headgroups and tail regions. This work enhances our molecular-level understanding of FP-lipid interactions, shedding light on viral entry mechanisms. Furthermore, the ability of these peptides to self-assemble, modulated by the surrounding lipid environment, positions them as promising building blocks for innovative functional biomaterials.
