ATENDIMENTO AO PACIENTE POLITRAUMATIZADO: A IMPORTÂNCIA NOS CONTEXTOS EXTRA E INTRA HOSPITALAR
Authors: Fróes Sérgio Nunes , Fernandes Letícia Vieira , Oliveira Danielle Carvalho Lima de
Published: July 2024

O paciente politraumatizado apresenta lesões em dois ou mais sistemas corporais, com pelo menos uma delas representando risco vital. A prestação inicial de cuidados exige agilidade e habilidade, sendo conduzida por uma equipe multidisciplinar capacitada. O presente estudo objetiva examinar o atendimento inicial e a importância da equipe multiprofissional no cuidado ao paciente politraumatizado. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Foram utilizados os bancos de dados SciELO e Google Scholar, abrangendo publicações nos idiomas inglês e português. Os descritores utilizados foram “atendimento”, “paciente politraumatizado”, “emergência” e “atendimento na emergência”. As ações no tratamento envolvem procedimentos pré e intra-hospitalares, exigindo capacitação e adesão a protocolos específicos, como o “XABCDE”, além de comunicação eficaz entre os membros da equipe no manejo do paciente. É fundamental seguir protocolos de trauma e garantir uma resposta rápida e coordenada das equipes de saúde para reduzir danos e aumentar as chances de sobrevivência do paciente. A rápida identificação das lesões e a intervenção apropriada são essenciais para evitar complicações. Além disso, a reavaliação contínua do estado do paciente é crucial para ajustar o plano de tratamento conforme necessário, assegurando que todos os aspectos do cuidado sejam atendidos de maneira eficiente e eficaz.
Probing the Icebergs of Adult Learning: Comparative Findings and Implications of the 1998, 2004 and 2010 Canadian Surveys of Formal and Informal Learning Practices
Authors: Livingstone David Walker
Published: July 2024

This paper summarizes the findings of the 2010 Work and Lifelong Learning (WALL) survey of self-reported further education and intentional informal learning activities of Canadian adults and compares them with the results of the 2004 WALL survey and the 1998 New Approaches to Lifelong Learning (NALL) survey on the same subject. Basic profiles of participation in further education courses and intentional informal learning activities related to employment, housework, community volunteer work, and general interests are presented. In addition to being one of the most highly formally educated populations in the world, Canadians quite rapidly increased their participation in further education over the past generation.  They continued to devote much more of their time to an array of informal learning activities. However, Canadian adults’ array of formal and informal learning efforts face relatively diminishing opportunities for application in jobs as they are currently structured.
TWO WORLDS, COLONIALISM ON THE CANADIAN PRAIRIE, AND THE ‘JUST’ LEARNING SOCIETY: A RENEWED VISION FOR ADULT EDUCATION
Authors: Kolenick Paul
Published: July 2024

The dualistic nature of adult education as serving the instrumental needs of the workplace, for instance, while remaining committed to issues of social justice is examined in light of the Indigenous metaphor of ‘walking in two worlds.’ This Janus-like duality is illustrated at the outset through the Indigenous story of Coyote’s Eyes as a relationship of imbalance, or disequilibrium, between the two worlds served by adult education. In this essay a brief and selective history of colonialism on the Canadian prairie through the Southern Numbered Treaties (1871-1877), and broadly through the White Paper policy of 1969, is considered with respect to its implications for Indigenous peoples and for adult education as educative practice. As a way toward a sense of balance, or equilibrium, between the two masters of instrumentality and social purpose served by adult education, Michael Welton’s vision of a ‘just’ learning society is brought to light as having potential for a renewed vision for adult education as a balanced, equitable educative practice.
Toronto Community Housing: Tenant Participation and Informal Learning
Authors: Foroughi Behrang
Published: July 2024

Due to intrinsic challenges in measuring informal learning, there has been relatively little interest in conducting empirical studies on the individual-level effects of participation. This qualitative study explores the informal learning of citizenry through political participation in the context of Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC); it intends to narrow the gap between theoretical hypotheses and the perceived reality of educative effects of participation. This study, which collected interview data from 35 tenants and staff also sheds light on our understanding of the shift in values, roles and responsibilities of public servants calling for community participation and how such participatory mechanisms contribute to active learning of citizens.

Living and Learning across Stages and Places: How Transitions Inform Audience Members’ Understandings of Pop Culture and Health Care
Authors: Jubas Kaela , Johnston Dawn E. B. , Chiang Angie
Published: July 2024

Using the medical drama Grey's Anatomy as an examplar, this article discusses findings from a qualitative case study exploring impacts of popular (or pop) culture on Canadian audience members' understandings of social issues, particularly health care policy. Adopting a neo-Gramscian perspective, our fundamental premise is that pop culture operates pedagogically, and that cultural consumption informs audience members' understandings of current social issues. We use the word "transition" to structure our discussion, and employ it in a dual sense - as progression from one stage of life to another, and as movement from one place to another. After positioning our study in relation to relevant scholarship in the field of adult education and outlining the theoretical perspective in which our work is grounded, we present our findings, and conclude with some suggestions of how this inquiry can contribute to understanding adult learning in contemporary times and places.
Intégration pédagogique des TIC à Yaoundé
Authors: Dahl Audrey
Published: July 2024

Cette étude de cas porte sur un projet d'intégration des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) dans une école primaire au Cameroun. Des coopérants québécois accompagnent deux groupes d'enseignants, l'un francophone et l'autre anglophone, dans une démarche d'appropriation de l'informatique. Les coopérants forment les enseignants dans une approche pédagogique inspirée de l'éducation populaire de Freire. Cette formation a pour but de préparer les enseignants à enseigner les TIC à leurs élèves et de créer une communauté de pratique au sein du corps enseignant. Pendant deux mois, enseignants et coopérants travaillent en collaboration et font face à diverses difficultés qui nuisent à l'appropriation technologique des élèves et des enseignants. Observations, discussions de groupe et entrevues individuelles documentent une expérience d'intégration des TIC en éducation dans un contexte particulier et font ressortir certaines thématiques qui sont propres au Cameroun et à l'Afrique, et d'autres qui font échos au contexte éducatif canadien.

Helping Them Help Themselves: Supported Adult Education for Persons Living with Mental Illness
Authors: Fernando Shanti , King Alyson , Loney Danielle
Published: July 2024

This case study of the Ontario Shores Supported Education Program (OSSEP) illustrates the importance of a hospital-based education program for adult learners living with mental illness, and its impact on participants’ quality of life and hopes for the future. The findings demonstrate that supported education programs catering to the needs of adults living with mental illness have the potential to not simply provide skills for future employment, but to more broadly improve participants’ ability to manage daily life, increase self-confidence, and improve rehabilitation efforts. With on-going cuts to community-based adult education programs, this research indicates the importance of ensuring specialized supported education programs are introduced and maintained for persons living with mental illness. For hospitals like Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, such programs can be an important part of patients’ recovery and rehabilitation process.
Exploring Young Adults’ Perspectives on Sexualized Media: Lessons for Developing Sexual Health and Wellness Literacy
Authors: El-Guebaly Lani , Butterwick Shauna
Published: July 2024

Sexual health and wellness is an important topic in providing health literacy programs for young adults. Given the growing prominence of sexualized media and its consumption by young adults, it is important to understand the impact of such media on their sexual health and wellness. To deepen understanding of this phenomenon, interviews with 20 young adults about their consumption of sexualized media were conducted in order to better understand how the consumption of sexualized media impacted their intimate relationships and self-esteem. The study was informed by feminist approaches to media as well as the author’s professional role and experiences as a sexual health specialist. Following analysis of the data, recommendations for effective pedagogical approaches and best practices for developing critical media literacy programs are offered. The paper concludes with implications for educators who are seeking to engage young people in a manner that is fun and interactive yet equally sensitive and effective.
Contemporary Understandings of Adult Education and Learning in Public Libraries in Canada and Britain
Authors: Sanford Katherine , Clover Darlene
Published: July 2024

Public libraries have long been considered important spaces of adult education and learning. However, major social changes over the past few decades, and the impact these have had on libraries’ work, have received little attention. Our three-year cross-national study of libraries in Canada and Britain explored how librarians navigate the discourse of adult education and learning and understand its place and value in the institution and society. Findings show that technology, both positively and negatively, drives the pedagogical directions, particularly in Britain, and there is a schism between the values and identities of younger and seasoned librarians. However, we also found that despite age and political and technological pressures, librarians still predominantly view themselves as educators and position the library as a critical cultural space for aesthetic, social, and collective learning and engagement.
Writing in the Recognition of Prior Learning at the Level of Secondary Education
Authors: Belisle Rachel , Rioux Isabelle
Published: July 2024

Studies show that the use of writing in recognition of prior learning (RPL) measures can repel some adults, especially those without a diploma. For those who are moving forward, how is the use of reading and writing experienced? Is it a lever or a barrier? This article presents results from a research led in Quebec including semi-structured interviews and data from archival records. It describes the use of reading and writing in two RPL measures at the secondary education level. The first one is offered in adult general education and is called Spheres of generic competencies. The second one is the recognition of prior learning and competencies in vocational training. The article also identifies reading and writing’s levers and barriers. A discussion draws attention to the challenges faced by adults when they have to read and write in RPL process
Complicating Access: Digital Inequality and Adult Learning in a Public Access Computing Space
Authors: Smythe Suzanne , Breshears Sherry
Published: July 2024

AbstractAccess is often defined in digital inclusion policy as the potential, if not the means, to access an Internet connection. This simple or ‘laissez-faire’ approach to digital access excludes many of the adults who are also the constituents of adult literacy education programs, suggesting the need for adult educators to attend closely to the entanglements of digital equity and adult learning. Combining methods of critical policy analysis with participant observation of adults’ experiences of digital access and learning in a public setting, the study identifies tensions between public sites for computing learning and the privatization of access, between ‘basic skills’ and critical pedagogies of production, and between the ‘model users’ for whom digital policies and the Internet are designed and the actual experiences of those who are on the margins of access. These trouble spots provoke new challenges and possibilities for a reinvigoration of public computing as new sites for adult learning.
The Growing Gap Between Post-secondary Schooling and Further Education: Findings of 1998, 2004, 2010 and 2016 National Surveys The Employed Canadian Labour Force
Authors: Livingstone D. W. , Raykov Milosh
Published: July 2024

This article summarizes the findings of a 2016 national survey of the formal schooling, further education, and job‑related informal learning of the employed Canadian labour force and compares the results with those of prior national surveys conducted in 1998, 2004, and 2010. The major finding is an unprecedented growing gap between increasing post‑secondary school completion and decreasing participation in further education. This gap may have begun in a recessionary labour market but may now be driven by the increasing underemployment of the qualifications of post‑secondary graduates who find little added benefit to further education in their jobs. The incidence of job‑related informal learning may also be declining. Age and economic class differences in schooling and further education appear to be narrowing in this context. Implications of the growing gap between advanced schooling and further education as well as the increasing incidence of underemployment are discussed.
Public Servant Schools in Canada: A Concept for Reconciliation
Authors: Weiler Mark
Published: July 2024

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has called on federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments of Canada to educate public servants about the history and legacy of Indian residential schools and related topics, such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. This article advances this call to action by conceptualizing “public servant schools” as government organizations that provide learning opportunities to public servants. The Canadian adult education literature, however, is largely silent on this topic, even though numerous examples can be found across branches and levels of governments within Canada. Drawing on material acquired through the Access to Information Act, this article breathes life into this topic by documenting the Canada School of Public Service and elements of its curriculum related to the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Stitching Together an Arts-based Inquiry with Indigenous Communities in Canada and Chile
Authors: Hanson Cindy
Published: July 2024

La recherche et l’apprentissage communautaires ne peuvent jamais être prescrits. L’étude intitulée « Intergenerational Learning in Indigenous Textile Communities of Practice » (« L’apprentissage intergénérationnel au sein de communautés de pratique des textiles autochtones »), financée par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines, illustre bien ce point à plusieurs égards. Bien que cette étude soit conçue comme recherche communautaire, au début, elle n’était pas comprise comme étant axée sur les arts : sa dimension artistique a émergé au cours de son évolution. À la fois la collecte de données et la mobilisation des méthodes de recherche étaient fondées sur les arts. L’étude a fourni d’importantes leçons sur l’apprentissage informel, autochtone et intergénérationnel au sein des communautés de pratique des textiles autochtones, notamment celles des perleuses et des tisseuses au Canada et au Chili.
From The Inside Out: Museum Educators and Professional Development On Race Talk
Authors: Murray-Johnson Kayon
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this article is to share highlights of a professional development workshop, aimed at helping museum educators build capacity for difficult dialogues on race with adults. Museum educators play a unique role in adult education as facilitators of learning on social justice issues. But in sharing with adults about the scope and elements of race related objects, they may fear or be unable to manage the kinds of emotions that could be evoked. Consequently, they may hesitate to fully engage in what could be a rich learning moment. The workshop was designed to explore characteristics of adults as learners and featured discourse and activities around a recently developed “8 S” framework for educators who often engage in race talk.
Peace Education Program in Hiroshima
Authors: Nozawa Ayako
Published: July 2024

This article is an artful narrative of my transformative experiences as a teacher educator of the Peace Education program, Oleander Initiative 2018 in Hiroshima. Hiroshima is where endless stories are told and retold by many Hibakushas, the atomic-bomb survivors in an effort to give meaning to this tragic experience. They both refigure the past and create purpose for the future. I invite readers to walk through this experience while considering the following questions: What are the stories of Hiroshima? What and how did I learn from the program? How could these experiences influence and give meaning both professionally and personally to me as a teacher educator and as a whole person? I hope this article expands understanding of peace education with respect to adult education, exploring how it can lead to transformative learning experiences and give insights into artful narrative. It reminds us to be hopeful in the challenging times.
Crossing Borders

Published: July 2024

This is a personal narrative about my transformative journey as an educator through the calamities of the failed perestroika in the Soviet Union and cultural shocks of living in the United States and Canada.  I analyze the factors contributing to my academic abilities that allowed me to graduate with a PhD in mathematics from a university in Russia and become a deputy dean in another university in Moscow.  I explain why revolutionary social changes in Russia in the 1990s made me feel as a foreigner in my home country and encouraged me to leave for the United States.  I examine what gave me the strength to start anew my professional life abroad from part-time jobs to full-time teaching positions in public schools and universities.  Finally, I reflect on my transformative experiences during my doctoral studies at a Canadian provincial university, earning a PhD in education.
Finding the Extraordinary in the Ordinary
Authors: Lipson Lawrence Randee
Published: July 2024

As an adult educator, I often incorporate creative expression into my teaching practice through engaged pedagogy and student assignments.  My major influences came not from education but from the art world and natural surroundings.  In the 1990’s, I discovered New Brunswick-based photographer Freeman Patterson.  His style and philosophy of photography not only influenced my own photography but also found its way into my academic practice.  In 2001, I visited Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center in Abiquiu, New Mexico and knew I had found a spiritual home among the red rocks and wide-open spaces.  I identified with Georgia O’Keeffe who lived there for many decades.  I taught creativity and photography there but also started bringing more creativity into teaching graduate students in adult education.  This article chronicles my transformative journey as an artist and educator, using original photography and personal narrative. I offer practical strategies for teaching and learning
ECONOMIC FACTORS IN ESTABLISHING A COMFORTABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT TO PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF ECOTOURISM
Authors: Ohanyan Anahit
Published: July 2024

The ecotourism market is experiencing significant growth thanks to the increasing number of solo travelers, which is driving the expansion of the tour and travel industry worldwide. Ecotourism is currently a flourishing and rapidly expanding sector in the tourism industry, with a significant role in the global economy. The tourism industry currently contributes to 10.3% of the global GDP, highlighting its substantial role in the economy. All ecotourism projects typically commence in the city, serving as the primary base for tourists and the starting point for their recreational activities. Specific strategies for placing monuments in city settings are designed to enhance psychological and emotional well-being. It is essential for them to become part of the public space system and serve as a crucial element, fulfilling the role of enhancing the urban environment with an aesthetic aspect. This study explores the placement of several sculptures within the open public areas of the Armenian cities.
ECONOMIC SYSTEMS: GROWTH AND DISTRIBUTION
Authors: Markosyan Ashot , Matevosyan Elyanora , Markosyan Meruzhan , Martirosyan Gagik , Hayriyan Georgi
Published: July 2024

The economic system of any country mainly defines and predetermines the essence of that social order and its driving forces. The production and economic relations formed within the society and, first of all, the flows of distribution and redistribution of national wealth and income are predetermined based on the property rights of people and different groups over the means of production. Especially the inequality of wealth and income within society, which deepens and expands with time due to that circumstance.
Nevertheless, economic growth and its pace are of decisive importance for ensuring socio-economic acceleration and solving many problems. And, although the role of the economic system in sustainable development and social cooperation is great, Russia's 140-year economic history and implemented economic policy prove that the professional skills and experience of those implementing economic policy, the ability to correctly navigate difficult situations and find appropriate solutions, are of great importance.
An Analysis of the Impact of Single-person Household Characteristics on Housing Occupancy
Authors: Sim Jongseop , Park Munsu ,   Korea Real Estate Industry Society
Published: July 2024

Single-person households are closely associated with the social issue of housing poverty. The purpose of this study is to present policy alternatives for addressing the challenges faced by single-person households by examining the influence of socio-economic and locational characteristics on occupancy patterns. The results of this study are as follows. The results of the binary logistic regression analysis are as follows. The results revealed that bereavement, increased management costs, residing in the Seoul metropolitan area, being employed in labor, sales, or service occupations, living in officetels or one-room apartments, and owning a car showed statistically significant associations with self-probability. Ragarding of regional characteristics, it was observed that the closer people reside to the metropolitan area, the higher the probability of leasing. Specifically, Gyeonggi-do Province has a higher likelihood of leasing than Seoul. This suggests that tenants may be moving to Gyeonggi Province due to the steep monthly rent increase in Seoul, which they cannot afford. Based on the results of this study, housing support measures and policy implications are presented. The younger generation requires priority housing support measures compared to other generations to address the low birth rate. During a period of continuous increase in housing prices and rents, it is essential to implement housing support measures to prevent involuntary displacement from current residences.
Impact of real estate prices on national financial soundness following the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards
Authors: Oh Chang Sup , Kim Byeng Kuk , Suh jeong yeal ,   Korea Real Estate Industry Society
Published: July 2024

Due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, inevitable welfare spending has increased sharply, and as the national debt has increased sharply, international credit rating agencies have considered downgrading Korea's credit rating. However, the Korean government has provided support for supplementary budgets and welfare policies, and as a result, national debt is increasing and national Financial soundness is deteriorating. Accordingly, based on previous studies, this study aims to present real estate-related policy measures that can fundamentally improve the national fiscal soundness so that the national credit rating is not degraded by studying how asset revaluation gains and comprehensive real estate taxes caused by real estate price increases affect national fiscal soundness indicators based on International Accounting Standards (IFRS). As a result of the study's analysis, the introduction of international accounting standards resulted in conditional results that 'an increase in the declared value of real estate can be positive for the national fiscal soundness', and in this study, four policy improvement measures related to real estate were proposed. Through these policy implications and fiscal policies such as institutional improvement measures, the government is expected to improve the national fiscal soundness while maintaining the national credit rating.
Recognition and Representation of the Korean Provisional Government in Japanese Academia and High School History Textbooks
Authors: Chang Se-Yun ,   yugwansun Research Center
Published: July 2024

In the first half of the twentieth century, during the Japanese colonial period, the Japanese general government in Korea and the Japanese central government did not recognize the Korean Provisional Government, dismissed it as an illegal organization(“shadow government”) and continuously suppressed its activities. As a result, the perception, description and evaluation of the Korean Provisional Government in some Japanese academic research and history textbooks remained very weak and scarce. In addition, many inaccurate and negative accounts have been found. Apart from the works of Sassa Mitsuaki(佐佐充昭), there are few contemporary works by Japanese scholars on the Provisional Government. Among Japanese history textbooks (on Japanese history and world history), those published by Shikkyo Publishing House stand out for giving a brief but relatively accurate account of the Provisional Government.
Therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness of the Korean Provisional Government among Japanese scholars, promote comprehensive research and develop better ways to portray the Korean Provisional Government in Japanese textbook narratives. In this context, it is necessary to seek systematic solutions in the short, medium and long term.
First, it will be necessary to strengthen and revitalize exchanges with international scholars and educators (especially Japanese scholars), including the promotion of more active joint research and joint publications. Second, it is necessary to promote research on the Provisional Government by Korean and foreign scholars and to internationalize, popularize and promote the results of such work. Third, more efforts should be made to improve the presentation of the activities of the Provisional Government in Japanese academic books, introductory books, humanities books and history textbooks. Fourth, Korean academic, educational and civil society organizations should promote more active and rigorous research and education on the subject. Fifthly, it is necessary to conduct free and honest research on the realities, achievements, successes and limitations of the Korean Provisional Government and the Korean Liberation Army. It will be important to promote discourse and storytelling and to create diverse content that can be consumed in everyday life. Finally, we must be careful not to ideologize under the influence of a particular political ideology or a teleological view of history in the way we perceive, evaluate and describe the Korean Provisional Government. In particular, it is necessary to reject ideologically biased perspectives from the Republic of Korea (South Korea), North Korea, Yanbian, China, Chinese and Japanese academia, Western academia and so on.

The purpose of this study was to find out the kindergarten principals’ perception of the impact of low-births on private kindergartens. Participants in the study were four principals’ of private kindergartens in A City, Chungcheongnam-do, and in-depth interviews were conducted for 15 weeks. Regarding the impact of low-births on private kindergartens, the study participants pointed out the difficulties such as unstable kindergarten members, changed kindergarten operation, and competition and deepening gaps between kindergartens, and as countermeasures to these difficulties, solidarity among members of kindergarten including parents, reforming into a differentiated kindergarten, and operating a kindergarten care class were mentioned. By considering the kindergarten principals’ perception of the impact of low-births on private kindergartens, we hope to use this as an opportunity to improve the quality of early childhood education, and to support the establishment of correct policies through cooperation and communication between related ministries and private kindergartens.
The Influence of Christian Missions on the Independence Movement in Korea
Authors: Song Byung-Ho ,   yugwansun Research Center
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to look at the devaluation of Christianity and its alienation from the people and ask, “What is the meaning of Christianity being introduced into Korean society, and what impact has it had?”.
In the process of accepting Christianity, the analysis focused on political and social situations, economic and religious situations as acceptance factors. Politically and socially, the pressure for reform and opening by Western powers, the signing of treaties, and the introduction of new systems were analyzed. In terms of the economic situation, the economic impoverishment suffered by the people of countries that failed to adapt to world historical changes and quickly accept the culture of modernization explained. In addition, referring to the suppression of Catholicism in the process of introducing Catholicism and the failure of the Catholic introduction process in the religious situation, various methods were tried and the situations in which the gospel was gradually spread were explained.
It was pointed out that Christianity had a great influence on the modernization of Korea during the Enlightenment period, including the spirit of patriotism and love for the people, prohibition of discrimination between people and books, and the abolition of the caste system. In addition, the fundamental reason for the acceptance of Christianity was that it was recognized as a powerful religion that made wealth possible, and thus the gospel expanded from the powerless ruled class to the ruling class. Meanwhile, Christianity had a great influence on the March 1st Independence Movement, and the changes in the consciousness of the Joseon people due to Christian missions were examined through the establishment of independence association branches, differences in active participation, and a confession written by a nobleman. In addition, we looked into the teachings of Christianity, focusing on the subject of the independence movement, the purpose of the movement, and the methods of action in the independence movement as shown in the Declaration of Independence, and the relationship between Christianity and the role of the March 1st Movement and Christian schools.
Lastly, it concludes that in the face of the decline of Christianity, which had a great influence during the turbulent times of Korean history, the Korean people need to know and learn about history.

ANALYZING THE CAUSES OF WATER SHORTAGE, LOW CROP YIELD, AND FOOD CRISIS IN PAKISTAN: A LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS (1991-2019)
Authors: Abdul Ghafoor Awan  , Ayesha Rashid Khan  , Lala Rukh Shabbir  , Asma Jalal
Published: July 2024

Pakistan has been facing problem of low crop yield, food shortage, and high prices of food items, and it has to import food items for billions of dollars every year to meet domestic needs. The literature shows a sufficient gap to investigate the causes of low crop yield. This motivates the authors to investigate the causes of water shortage, low crop yields, and high prices of agriculture inputs, using 28 years of data spanning from 1991 to 2019. The selected variables include crop yield as the dependent variable and water availability, precipitation, seed, fertilizer, and pesticides as independent variables. Various statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics, Correlation matrix, ADF test, ARDL Model, Bound test, and Error Correction model were employed to determine the relationship between variables. The findings reveal that all independent variables except precipitation have a positive association with crop yield. The comparison of the results of ARDL and ECM Models shows that the variables water, seed, fertilizer, and pesticides have a significant and positive relationship with crop yield in the short run rather than in the long run. In light of these findings, the study suggests that the Government of Pakistan should build water storage, ensure the availability of agriculture inputs at subsided prices, and introduce modern agriculture technologies to enhance crop yield to ensure food security and save billions of dollars being spent on the import of food items every year.

The purpose of the presented article is to compare the librettos of three operas: "Cendrillon" by Nicolò Izouard, "Agatina o la Virtù premiata" by Stefano Pavesi and "La Cenerentola ossia La bontà in trionfo" by Gioachino Rossini. In foreign research (there are no studies of this kind in Russian), it is customary to pay more attention to the relationship between Rossini’s opus and the second of these operas, while the first is usually only mentioned as the predecessor of both works and as one of the sources of the libretto. Indeed, the author of the text of Rossini’s opera, Jacopo Ferretti, most likely took his ideas from "Agatina". However, this does not in any way detract from the role that Izouara’s "Cendrillon" played in the emergence of its Italian namesake. The article is the first to compare the librettos of all three operas, which allows us to understand better the connections between them, as well as to identify differences due to both the variation in French and Italian traditions, and the individualities of the authors of the libretto and music.

Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to two types of folk theater in Vietnam, Сheo and Tuong, that prepared the country’s musical culture for mastering the genre of Europen-style opera. The similarities and differences in their aesthetics and dramatic principles are outlined. The issues of the repertoire of theaters are considered, the main plot motives of the performances are highlighted. The role of music in the performances of Chao and Tuong, its specific genre forms is considered. The national aspects of music in the plays of Cheo and Tuong are emphasized, as well as the compositional features that resonate with some principles of the opera genre.
The ballet by R. Strauss "The Legend of Joseph". Musical interpretation of the Biblical story
Authors: Stogniy Irina ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The article is dedicated to the musical and choreographic interpretation of the biblical plot in the ballet "The Legend of Joseph" by R. Strauss, with libretto by H. Hofmannsthal and H. Kessler, created in 1914 for the Diaghilev seasons. The events of the Holy Scripture, representing endless possibilities of interpretation, allow to highlight the important cultural problem: the biblical plot and modernity. In this regard, the music and choreography of the ballet attract attention not only with their originality, but also as a vivid example of a work in which different trends of its time are interwoven. From the perspective of musical dramaturgy, this primarily involves the emphasis on the role of the psychological element in character development and revelation of the plot — a significant role in this process is played by Strauss’s leitmotif writing, as well as quotes (including self-quotes) and allusions. From a non-musical context perspective, there is undeniable influence of Freud’s psychoanalytic theory — as evidenced by the interpretation of the heroine’s role, reminiscent of Salome from the eponymous opera (pathological infatuation with Joseph brings her to irrational actions, leading to madness). The article analyzes the influence of Hofmannsthal’s poetry, the obvious connection of the heroine with the female images of Gustav Klimt, as well as the scientific direction "Philosophy of Life". The rich context that has emerged represents an intertext that is not confined within purely musical boundaries, but includes multicultural interactions. The main conclusion is that R. Strauss, long before Thomas Mann’s novel, created a work that defined the characteristic features of the modern era, such as a tendency towards myth, the East, and biblical themes. R. Strauss also deserves credit for creating the genre of choreographic drama, successfully continued by S. Prokofiev.
What is "harmony"?
Authors: Gulyanitskaya Natalia ,   Gnesin Russian Academy of Music
Published: July 2024

The concept of "harmony", used and studied for many centuries, continues to raise many questions. The modern era, marked by numerous issues, is no exception. Reviewing definitions and the scope of understanding of harmony, we have identified several interesting features, including the distinction between the use of the word and the sound of contemporary music itself. Our formulation "harmony is a system of musical-aesthetic and music-theoretical thinking of a certain period in art" has become the subject of close attention in this article.
Rachmaninoff: conception in piano interpretation. Prelude op. 32 gis-moll: "Russia, winter road"
Authors: Vartanov Sergey ,   L. V. Sobinov Saratov State Conservatory
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to a fundamental problem: the construction of a theory of performance interpretation. The basis of our approach is in the idea of "concept", which was put forward by S. V. Rachmaninov. Not only a brilliant musician, but also a thinker-artist, Rachmaninoff emphasized in his articles (1909–1910) the fundamental importance of the concept, which stands at the forefront of interpretation. In our study, the concept of "concept" is studied as a result of the interaction of three factors: the evolution of ideas in the communicative system of the keyboard-piano culture; the process of the pianist’s comprehension of a performed composition; and the methodology of modern humanitarian science (M. Bakhtin’s theory of dialogue and M. Turner’s and J. Fokonie’s theory of conceptual integration, which is recognized today as a generalized model of cognitive theory). Studying the composer’s legacy has allowed us to propose a method of integrating the concept, which is considered using his Prelude in G sharp minor as an example.

SIMULATION ANALYSIS TO FORECAST PROGRESS AND OPTIMIZE RESOURCE UTILIZATION FOR MATERIAL TRANSPORTATION ACTIVITIES IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT ON PHU QUY ISLAND
Authors: Nguyen Quang Nam ,   Institute of Techniques for Special Engineering, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: July 2024

This article presents the main results of using a simulation tool to predict time and optimize the resource utilization for the transportion of materials processes in the construction project on Phu Quy island. A simulation model, which includes activities of material transfer processes, has been established and developed based on the EZStrobe simulation program. Various simulation scenarios with different resource usage options have been analyzed. The simulation results are also compared and evaluated with real-world project data. It indicates that for both productivity, time and cost, the option of using two 50-ton cranes at the dock; two 25-ton cranes at the storage yard and four trucks will be the best solution. The results of the study demonstrated the effectiveness of the simulation program, which may help managers choose the resource allocation plan and apply necessary changes to obtain the optimum results in terms of production and cost efficiency for the transportion of contruction materials on the island.
ON THE USE OF THE GENERAL BANDWIDTH METHOD TO IDENTIFY DAMPING IN MDOF SYSTEMS
Authors: Vu Dinh Huong ,   Institute of Techniques for Special Engineering, Le Quy Don Technical University, Hanoi, Vietnam
Published: July 2024

The general bandwidth (GeB) method is one of the methods used for viscous damping identification of structures. In this method, approximate and exact formulas have been studied to estimate the damping ratio from frequency response function (FRF) of the single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. However, the applicability of these formulas to estimate the damping in multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems has not been analyzed in detail. This article studies the influence of modal parameters on the accuracy of the GeB method used to identify the viscous damping ratios in MDOF systems. The results compared with the formulas based on the half-power bandwidth (HPB) method show that the GeB method has good efficiency and wide identification range.
