Authors: Putri Dwi Anggraini Harita , Usmeldi Usmeldi
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this research is to find out factors that can affecting Junior High School Students' 4C Skills such as self-efficacy, learning motivation, liveliness, mathematical literacy, and scientific literacy can significantly influence students' 4C skills. This study is quantitative research using a survey method. In addition, the effect of each construct on the 4C skills is estimated through the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). The research results show that self-efficacy, scientific literacy, learning motivation and activeness have a significant effect on 4C skills. Mathematical literacy does not have a significant effect on 4C skills, but scientific literacy has a mediating effect on the relationship between mathematical literacy and 4C skills. Therefore, it is expected that students will further improve their skills in realizing the demands of globalization.

The aim of the research is to identify pests according to family and find out the types and concentrations of vegetable pesticides that are effective for controlling pests on cabbage plants using vegetable pesticides, using net sweeping and using light on cabbage plants. This research activity included 2 stages. The first stage is to identify pests on cabbage plants using the insect net method and light lamps, taking insects directly every 7 days of observation. The number of pest insects obtained is recorded and identified based on their family. The second stage is the application of vegetable pesticides and the frequency of spraying on the intensity of pest and disease attacks on cabbage plants. This research is a factorial experimental study using a randomized block design (RAK) method consisting of 2 factors with the first factor being the type of vegetable pesticide consisting of 4 levels, namely (F0) control, (F1) neem, (F2) Annona and (F3) Widuri. The second factor is that the spraying frequency varies, consisting of 3 levels, namely (K1) 3x spraying (K2), 5x spraying and (K3) 7x spraying. Parameters observed included plant height, number of leaves, plant fresh weight, percentage of pest attack intensity and incidence of cabbage disease. Data were analyzed using the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) 5%. The research results show that the insect pests identified are the families Pyralidae, Plutelidae, Acrididae, Noctuidae and Aphididae. The results of testing a pesticide that is effective in controlling insects is neem pesticide with a spraying time of 7 times which can reduce the intensity of pest and disease attacks on cabbage plants

Syntonic Tuning
Authors: Wibberley Roger
Published: February 2024

This essay is explicitly “educational” in the proper sense:

although it has a technical focus this is intended to provide the means of

re-examining and reassessing one’s own cognitive processes. It has often been

argued that a proper understanding of early music is hindered by our own

inability to “hear the music” in the way our ancestors did. Our “modern” ears

have (it is often rightly said) become conditioned over time by the sound worlds

of later systems of tuning and performance to the extent that our perception of

the aesthetics applied to early styles can only be the result of educated

guesswork. “We cannot know how a Pythagorean performance really sounded (can

we?), and our understanding of the soundscape of Just Intonation (JI) is mainly

intuitive, backed up perhaps by a complicated theoretical list of mathematical

ratios (isn’t it?).” There is considerably more to a performance than accurate

intonation (which is only the starting point) and this essay (along with the

previous two) only seeks to explore the particular aspects of performance

involving pitch. But the above sense of resignation and capitulation can at

least be partly addressed by examining aspects of tuning, and the procedures

discussed below will at least provide a means of capturing this single—albeit

crucial—aspect of performance. Nothing will replace a group of well-equipped

and trained singers, but it is my belief that such singers would need a highly

specialized training before successfully achieving performances of the kind

outlined. Even then, the nature of “live performance” (however accurate

empirically) may still be the victim of only a subjective response from the

listener (who is naturally more inclined to trust his or her own preconditioned

cognitive responses than the results such singers might produce). This essay,

therefore, provides a computer-generated means of evaluation, and the sounds

provided are empirically correct in their intonation by all standards proclaimed

in theoretical works of the time. The challenge, then, is to develop a

self-critical approach in which—fully knowing that what is being heard is (intonationally)

herein the same for us as it was for them—we can reappraise our own cognition.

If any tunings that are created by the application of anything covered in the

essay strike the listener as in any way “strange,” “out of tune” or “unusual,”

this can be taken confidently as a direct invitation to the listener to

reappraise his or her own cognition.
Rules for Chord Doubling (and Spacing)
Authors: Aarden Bret , Hippel Paul T. von
Published: February 2024

Music theory instructors teach a number of rules for chord tone

doubling. These rules fall under two general headings: rules for doubling

certain triad members (e.g., double the root of a major root position

triad) and rules for doubling certain scale degrees (e.g., avoid doubling

the leading tone). The present study tests these doubling rules against large

samples of triads by Bach, Mozart, and Haydn. Unlike previous analyses, the

study controls for the confounding effects of inversion, range, and spacing. The

results suggest that the rules governing triad members are almost entirely

redundant with the rules governing scale degrees; that is, the two sets of rules

are different ways of describing the same musical practices. It is clearly

unnecessary to teach both sets of rules. We prefer the scale-degree rules since

they are more concise, and easier to justify on theoretical grounds.

Authenticity, Appropriation, Signification
Authors: Burns Lori , Woods Alyssa
Published: February 2024

This paper studies alternative artist Tori Amos’s cover versions of two original performances by Billie Holiday and Eminem. The narrative perspectives and musical structures of the original songs offer great potential to explore questions of authenticity, appropriation, and intertextuality, and Amos’s distinctive revisions of the songs encourage reflection on her Signifyin(g) practices. The song “Strange Fruit” marked a shift in Billie Holiday’s musical style and social consciousness. Her recording (1939) of this emotionally powerful song about the lynching of a black man is upheld as the benchmark (“authentic”) version of that song. Over five decades later (1994), Tori Amos expresses a powerful commitment to the style and social message of Holiday’s original, yet her musical presentation is not merely historical tribute; rather, Amos Signifies on the older text to offer a contemporary statement on race and violence. Eminem’s song, “‘97 Bonnie and Clyde” (1999) exposes the problematic theme of violence against women. In her version (2001), Tori Amos appropriates Eminem’s lyrics, but casts a new perspective over the narrative by assuming the voice of the murdered woman. This paper analyzes the originals and covers using an interpretive framework that focuses on the voice as the site and vehicle of an artist’s Signifyin(g) expression.
“So, you want to write a Minuet?”—Historical Perspectives in Teaching Theory
Authors: Eckert Stefan
Published: February 2024

The article discusses the applicability of Joseph Riepel’s Anfangsgründe zur
musicalischen Setzkunst (1752–1765) to today’s music theory classroom.
Riepel’s treatise, a lively dialogue between a teacher (Præceptor) and a
student (Discantista) transcends historical boundaries, allowing students to
gain hands-on experience with concepts that otherwise remain abstract. In the
spirit of Riepel’s treatise, I do not merely discuss how Riepel’s Præceptor
teaches the student to write minuets, but I describe how I use these
instructions in the music theory classroom while providing a sample of my
teaching materials.
Feeling the Style
Authors: Burns Lori
Published: February 2024

As Billie Holiday described her unique brand of vocal expression, she claimed that she wanted the “style” of Louis Armstrong and the “feeling” of Bessie Smith. These aesthetic and expressive goals can be interrogated for their analytic and interpretive potential. What elements of her musical presentation capture the jazz stylings of Armstrong and the Classic-blues subjectivity of Smith? Can affective gestures be teased apart from the structural features of the musical performance? Might these apparently distinct elements be in fact integrally bound, the stylistic elements (conventions, manners) serving feeling, and concomitantly the affective elements (emotion, subjectivity, affect) serving structure? By recognizing these distinctive aspects and qualities of a singer’s vocal expression, do we take a step closer to his or her distinctive musical artistry?

This article explores the analytic potential of Billie Holiday’s self-proclaimed performance goals by interpreting vocal gesture in her versions of two songs also recorded by Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith. The songs chosen for consideration are “Tain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness If I Do” (words and music by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins), written in 1922 and “I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues” (music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by Ted Koehler), written in 1932. Billie Holiday’s recordings of these songs are credited as tributes to her idols Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong. The analysis illustrates how Holiday gave tribute to Smith and Armstrong through specific strategies of vocal content and gesture while still forging an innovative style and feeling in her own musical expression.
Retooling the Technique
Authors: Lochhead Judith I.
Published: February 2024

Recent debates about new directions in music scholarship
have sometimes focused on technical language and its use in musical
analysis. This essay puts some perspective on that debate from the
vantage of the philosophy of technology. Following the ideas of
Martin Heidegger and Don Ihde about the “ontological priority” of
technology with respect to science, the essay argues that the
technical language of music has a basis in “making” music and must be
“retooled” to apply to the more experiential concerns of recent
musicological and theoretical research.
On Keeping the Score
Authors: Schmalfeldt Janet
Published: February 2024

This essay proposes and then explores the view that the most
profound and beneficial changes in the field of music theory within
the last decade have come about in response to pressures from without
to relinquish the notion of music as autonomous. I ask anew why our
field has waited so long to acknowledge that the creation,
performance, and study of music cannot help but be implicated in both
past and present social, cultural, and political concerns. My
overview celebrates the inspired contributions of individuals who have
recently demonstrated how music theory can embrace ever broader
cultural contexts without at the same time abandoning the analyst’s
commitment to interpreting the musical score.
Review Article, “Will the Real Anton Webern Please Stand Up?”: Anne C. Shreffler, Webern and the Lyric Impulse (Oxford University Press, 1994)
Authors: Alpern Wayne
Published: February 2024

Anne Shreffler’s recent book on Webern is a breath of
fresh air in the antiseptic laboratory of more traditional Webern
studies. Challenging his conventional image as a “cerebral
master of control,” she paints an intimate portrait of a lyrical
composer of Lieder in the line of Schubert and Wolf, whose
intellectual concern for logical coherence is tempered by an
intuitive appreciation of the expressive potential of ambiguity.
This book presents detailed musicological evidence about Webern’s
life and compositional process to substantiate analytical
assertions about his music in support of this lyrical
reappraisal. There is important new information about the
composer’s sketching routine, the precise nature and sequence of
each compositional step, the aesthetic criteria invoked in
revisions, and the essential character of his creative decision
making. Contrary to analytic approaches that ignore or devalue
ambiguity as a flaw, Shreffler praises the richness of multiple
associations it implies. Poignantly, it is the quintessentially
structured music of Webern, the paragon of analytic formalism, in
which the author asserts this theoretical imperative. Her
musical insights and interdisciplinary methodology merit careful
attention and considerable praise.
Review of Lionel Pike, Hexachords in Late-Renaissance Music (Ashgate, 1998)
Authors: Mengozzi Stefano
Published: February 2024

Attempting to appreciate the layers of musical

meaning that would be apparent to late-Renaissance expert

listeners, Dr. Pike contributes to an interpretation of the

repertory of that time that takes into account the meaning of

the texts set to music, the circumstances of composition and

performance, the musical structure, and the listeners’

expectations. However, Dr. Pike’s hypothesis of the Guidonian

hexachord as a diatonic segment with cognitive implications for

late-Renaissance composers and listeners overlooks important

aspects of the status of hexachord as described in Renaissance

music theory and raises questions about the relationship

between hexachord, mode, and counterpoint.

On Metaphor, Technology, and Schenkerian Analysis
Authors: Koozin Timothy
Published: February 2024

Multimedia renderings for the World-Wide Web are offered as models which extend the technology commonly employed in expressing Schenkerian analysis. The study begins with a new appraisal of the role of metaphor, establishing that the qualities of imitation and participation which are embodied in the communication of metaphor are central to a Schenkerian approach. The computer renderings suggest ways computer representation might aid in the understanding of spatial metaphors which are inherent in Schenker’s methodology. Essential features such as linear shape, direction, and structural levels are modeled through incorporation of sound, hypertextually linked images and texts, and real-time simulation.
Review of Zbigniew Preisner, Requiem for My Friend

A review of the London premiere of Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner’s

Requiem for my Friend, which marked its first performance outside Poland. Preisner is best known for his

award-winning film work, but he crosses over into the classical, and is signed by a well-known classical label. An investigation

of Preisner’s background leads to his pseudonym, the late 18th-century Dutch composer Van den Budenmayer, whose work

contains elements of Beethoven and Mahler.
Lessons from the Past
Authors: Karpinski Gary S.
Published: February 2024

As we music theorists chart our course into the next century, we can learn many lessons from the past--lessons about teaching and learning music that can inform and inspire our work as pedagogues and help us deliver the very best our discipline has to offer to all students of music. This essay addresses six main pedagogical issues: counterpoint, figured bass, harmony and voice leading, aural skills, computer-assisted instruction, and curriculum design. Each issue is examined in its historical perspective leading up to the recent turn of the century, and suggestions are made for further research and teaching in the future.
Music, Evolution and the Ladder of Progress
Authors: Perry Jeffrey
Published: February 2024

This paper examines the compositional genealogies presented by several composers of the nineteenth and twentieth

centuries, notably Wagner, Schoenberg, Webern, and Boulez, and of writings by other composers related dialectically to the

genealogical mode of composerly self-perception. It also examines resonances between composers’ genealogical polemics and

contemporary notions borrowed from literature and evolutionary theory (e.g., the organicism of Goethe and other Enlightenment

thinkers, the “ladder of progress” misreading of Darwinian evolution), and explores issues of centralization,

marginalization, and legitimation as they are framed by the genealogical/ladder-of-progress model and as they apply to

a wide range of Western composers.
Figured Bass and Modulation
Authors: Dineen Murray
Published: February 2024

Why and how should a figured-bass treatise account for modulation? These two questions will be addressed with reference to the treatise Wiener-Tonschule; oder Anweisung zum Generalbaße, zur Harmonie, zum Contrapuncte und der Fugen-lehre (1827), by the Viennese theorist Joseph Preindl (1756–1823). To answer the question “Why?”: a figured-bass treatise such as Preindl’s might have accounted for modulation as a means to facilitate improvisation of preludes or fantasies, and it might have done so under the developing influence of northern Teutonic theorists of modulation such as Gottfried Weber and Abbe Vogler. To answer the question “How?”: a figured-bass treatise might account for modulation through a pattern-based approach, but it should not do so through a pivot-chord approach, since the latter presumes an understanding of chordal root harmony that lies beyond the scope of figured bass.
Transformational Networks, Transpositional Combination, and Aggregate Partitions in Processional by George Crumb
Authors: Scotto Ciro G.
Published: February 2024

George Crumb is popularly known as a composer who employs extended instrumental techniques. This characterization could divert attention away from investigating pitch structures in his compositions. Although some theoretical works have begun focusing attention on pitch, the scope of these investigations has been limited to the procedures associated with a limited number of symmetrical sets. Focusing solely on symmetrical sets could overshadow other methods of organizing pitch. Through an analysis of the solo piano work Processional (1983), I will demonstrate that Crumb’s procedures include techniques that link the compositional opportunities symmetrical sets offer to the procedures associated with aggregate-based atonal composition. The analysis will reveal that symmetrical and non-symmetrical set structures in Processional are part of a larger group of relations that include techniques such as aggregate partitions, transpositional combination, and transformational networks. My analysis will also demonstrate how these techniques and the techniques associated with symmetrical sets blend to create a larger compositional universe. Finally, I will suggest a more general model for the various networks that appear in Processional.
Post-Tonal Improvisation in the Aural Skills Classroom
Authors: Silberman Peter
Published: February 2024

This paper presents an improvisation-based approach for teaching students to hear and understand aspects of twentieth-century music. The improvisation exercises are based on concepts taken from eight commonly used twentieth-century music textbooks. The paper ends with analyses of improvisations created by two undergraduates who were trained in the author’s method. Recordings and transcriptions of these improvisations are included.
Beyond Words
Authors: Urista Diane J.
Published: February 2024

Instructors of aural skills traditionally rely upon singing and dictation, and intoning and tapping rhythms for teaching students. This study focuses on an approach that engages the moving body (drawn from Eurhythmics) to develop perception and the kinesthetic associations humans experience in the performance of music. I discuss seven video scenarios, each of which is designed to develop specific musical concepts and musicianship. This approach enhances the sensitivity of the students and the physical relationship with the music they perform and perceive. Furthermore, it refines their kinesthetic sense, strengthens musical memory, and the power of concentration.

Intragroup conflict: Role stressors and work attitude
Authors: Agoes Hadi Birawan  , I Gede Riana  , Wayan Gede Supartha  , Ida Bagus Ketut Surya
Published: February 2024

Intragroup conflict can adversely affect employee work attitudes and performance. Vagueness regarding conflicting roles and demands can lead to tension and conflict among group members, which it is can reduce positive work attitudes, such as job satisfaction, commitment to the organization, and job engagement. This study aims to determine the role of intragroup conflict in mediating effect of role stressor on work attitude. This research was conducted on contract education personnel in Udayana University with a sample of 87 employees. The samples were collected by using proportionate random sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The result showed that intragroup conflict was not able to mediate the effect of role stressors on work attitude performance (no mediation). These results showed that even though employees feel they know what to do for every aspect of the job, employees still feel that there are often differences of opinion in the workplace. But that does not degrade employees' strong sense of organizational ownership. Employees still love their jobs and still make sure tasks are completed properly.

Jun Kaneko'nun Seramik “Heads” Eserlerinin Yorumlanması
Authors: Tok Serkan
Published: February 2024

Jun Kaneko, Japonya'da yaşayan anıtsal seramik heykel alanında öncü bir sanatçı olarak tanınmaktadır. Kaneko'ya göre, “Dünyadaki her şey aynı boyutta olsaydı, ölçü kavramına gerek kalmazdı.” ilkesini benimsemiştir. Sanatçı çalışmalarının temel felsefesini, hiçbir şeyin kendi başına var olamayacağı; her şeyin diğer nesnelerden ya da çevresinden etkilendiği üzerine kurguluyor. Kırmızı kil (seramik çamuru) kullanan sanatçı, eserlerinde gerçek imgeleri ve hayali gerçeklik algısını yüzeysel desenlerle ifade ederek soyut ve metaforik sanat arasındaki sınırları zorlamaktadır. Sanatçı kariyeri boyunca farklı malzemelerle disiplinlerarası çalışmalar üreterek çok yönlü bir sanatçı olabileceğini belgelemiştir. Sanatçının eserlerindeki puantiye, çubuk ve kiremit gibi desenler, nesneler ve çevresindeki diğer eserler arasında farkındalık oluşturmakta-dır. Ayrıca Kaneko’nun eserleri Batı ve Doğu kimliği arasında bir sentez oluşturmakta; Amerikan ve Japon estetik öğelerinin arasında oldukça dengeli bir görünüm sergilemektedir. Figürleri meditatif ve ruhani niteliklere sahip ve genellikle Japon kültürü ve mitolojisiyle ilişkilendirilmektedir. Kaneko'nun “Heads” adlı eseri bu makalede, sanatçının tekniği ve ifadesine vurgu yapılarak ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenecektir. Sanatçının bu eseri, Kaneko'nun sanatsal evriminin ve özgün ifadesinin anlamlı bir yansıması olarak görülmektedir. “Heads” adlı eserinde Kaneko, seramik çamuru kullanarak tasarladığı anıtsal boyutlardaki insan başlarını sadece boyun kısmından yukarıya doğru stilize ederek biçimlendirmiştir. Heykellerinde soyut formları ve yüzey desenlerini ustalıkla bir araya getirerek izleyenlerin algısını sorgulamasını sağlamaktadır. Eserlerin incelenmesi, Kaneko'nun soyut desenleri ve yüzey dokularını kullanmasının eserin anlamını ve duygusal etkisini nasıl artırdığını göstermektedir. Sanatçının baş heykellerinde yer alan figürlerin genellikle meditatif ve ruhani bir niteliğe sahip olması, sanatçının Japon kültürü ve mitolojisinden ilham aldığını düşündürmektedir. Kaneko'nun eserleri aynı zamanda kendi kültürel kimliğini ve deneyimlerini sentezleyerek Batı ve Doğu estetik unsurları arasında bir denge kurmaktadır. “Heads”, Jun Kaneko'nun sanatsal gelişimine ve sanat anlayışına önemli bir pencere açmaktadır. Sanatçının kullandığı desenler izleyiciyi eserin içine çekmekte ve soyut formlar aracılığıyla duygu ve düşünce deneyimini zenginleştirmektedir.

Electrophysiological evidence of non-spatial inhibition of return affecting audiovisual integration
Authors: Wang Aijun
Published: February 2024

Audiovisual integration (AVI), the process of combining visual and auditory stimuli into a cohesive perceptual experience, is crucial in multisensory perception. The present study delves into the impact of non-spatial inhibition of return (IOR) on AVI, utilizing the high-resolution event-related potential (ERP) technique within a prime-neutral cue-target paradigm. We specifically examined the neural underpinnings of AVI disparities in the context of valid and invalid targets. Our behavioral analysis revealed a notable diminution of AVI in cases involving valid targets, with a pronounced effect in trials featuring Chinese character primes. Intriguingly, ERP results demonstrated substantial AVI within the N400 and P300 components. The study's novelty lies in identifying the P300 component as the primary neural correlate for the attenuation of AVI due to non-spatial IOR, a finding not replicated with color block primes. These insights not only corroborate the late attention theory and the co-activation model but also substantiate the context-updating hypothesis. Overall, our research provides novel ERP evidence elucidating the mechanisms by which non-spatial IOR modulates AVI, thereby contributing significantly to the broader understanding of the cognitive processes underlying multisensory perception and attentional dynamics.
The Future of Replication in Applied Linguistics: Toward a Standard for Replication Studies
Authors: McManus Kevin
Published: February 2024

High-quality replication studies are widely understood to be critical to the growth and credibility of the discipline, as commentary and discussion since the 1970s, at least, show. Nevertheless, misunderstandings and limitations in the aims, designs, and reporting of replication research remain, thus reducing the usefulness and impact of replications. To address this issue and improve the rigor, quality, and conduct of replication studies in applied linguistics, a new standard for reporting replication studies is proposed that captures several critical features of replication research not discussed in current reporting guidelines. Importantly, this standard applies basic expectations in replication reporting so that outcomes can be better understood and evaluated. By applying this standard, replication studies will better meet their aims to confirm, consolidate, and advance knowledge and understanding within applied linguistics and second language research. In addition, readers will more easily understand how the replication study was carried out and be able to better evaluate the claims being made.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and diverse sexual orientation minorities are disproportionately represented in the prevalence of adverse health conditions, even in Canada, suggested as one of the more progressive countries when it comes to social acceptance and human rights protections. This highlights the inclusion of sexual orientation identity as a point of consideration when providers interact with patients and to consider facilitating sexual orientation identity disclosure when accessing health care. This study explored factors associated with different facets of sexual orientation disclosure to primary care providers. A cross-sectional survey of sexual orientation minority participants, 16 years or older, living, working, or residing in Waterloo Region was distributed ( n = 437). Modified Poisson regression methods modelled (a) comfort sharing sexual orientation with their regular primary care provider (RPCP), (b) disclosure of sexual orientation to their RPCP, and (c) talking to their RPCP about health issues related to their sexual orientation. Increasing outness within one’s social network was consistently significant across all three outcomes of comfort, disclosure, and talking about health issues related to sexual orientation. Self-esteem was also identified as salient in comfort and when talking to providers. The authors also observed significant associations between sexual orientation identity and relationship status variables. Findings highlight important factors to consider in discussing and disclosing sexual orientation identity and associated health issues with health care providers. Implications for practice include training new health care providers and providing opportunities for continued education for established providers to ensure appropriate care is provided based on sexual orientation.

It was found that to ensure and improve the reliability of transport systems, it is necessary to have an effective toolkit for identification and classification of their failures, the number for a given period of operation and the determination of the required number of structural elements in the form of participants.

It is shown that the construction of a tree of their failures is an effective tool for identification and classification of transport system failures. The procedure for its construction and its implementation is presented on the example of a transport system for the transportation of rock mass for the production of crushed stone. A tree of failures of this system was built and the main directions of its activity were developed to ensure the technical serviceability of the rolling stock and prevent its failures. Attention is focused on the coefficient of technical readiness of the vehicle fleet, an analysis of various types of formulas for evaluating this complex indicator of reliability and ways to increase its level are provided. Factors affecting the reliability of the transport system are determined and their list is given.

It was found that regardless of the mutual location of the elements of the transport system, it is difficult to assign any of them to the main category. At the same time, the main argument is that the failure of any structural element of the transport system can lead to its complete failure, with the exception of elements connected in parallel.

A number of assumptions have been made regarding the formation of the organizational and production structure of a trucking company based on functional characteristics, when the grouping and selection of elements of the company's production system is carried out in accordance with the commonality of performed functions. Areas of activity of trucking companies to prevent failures in the transport system caused by technical malfunctions of rolling stock are given.

It was established that based on the results of the analysis of possible failures in the transport system, the optimization of the number of elements of the structural and functional scheme of the production process of transportation is carried out, when solving the problem, the minimum necessary number of its participants is determined. At the same time, the optimization criterion is selected taking into account the cost of the transportation process, which includes conditionally constant and variable costs directly for the movement of the object of transportation and its terminal processing on the way of passage.
Opacity and Transparency
Authors: Hausknost Daniel
Published: February 2024

I present the contours of an explanatory model of legitimacy that directs the focus away from normative questions and onto specific mechanisms of reality construction at play in constituting social orders. The key assumption informing the model is that stable orders rely fundamentally on their capacities to construct separate spheres of social reality, by which they exempt critical parts of reality from the burden of legitimation. I argue that an order's legitimacy ultimately depends on its ability to confine the question of legitimacy by relegating authorship of reality to opaque sources that are separated epistemically from the institutional order. The effective reification of critical zones of reality is shown to be a functional precondition for institutional stability. I show that capitalist democracy, in particular, depends on this mode of constructing ‘passive legitimacy’, which constitutes a key obstacle for any attempt to transform it towards an ecologically and socially sustainable formation.
