International Instruments for the Principle of Equality
Authors: Velcani Majlinda
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this paper is to show what are the international instruments for the realization of equality and non-discrimination. The international instruments for the realization of equality and to fight discrimination are always in continuous development, being harmonized with the initiatives of different countries. These initiatives not only individually but also in joint coordination. The concept of equality and freedom has evolved enormously in the last decades, but it still remains a present problem. The aim is that these principles are not only foreseen in international conventions or other legal acts, but to be realized in practice. The main objectives of the paper are: 1. To give a broader picture of all international instruments for the realization of equality, 2. To show what measures are taken to realize the principle of equality. Methodology: for the realization of the paper, I have based the collection of information from secondary sources, such as various authors who have spoken about equality and the most important international instruments that sanction the principle of equality. Qualitative methods have been used and the collected information will be analyzed, drawing the relevant recommendations and conclusions. First, what equality is will be determined, then continuing with the interpretation of international acts for the realization of equality and protection from discrimination.

The Right to Work in International and National Law in the Time of Globalization
Authors: Gera Anton
Published: April 2024

Work is not a commodity like all other commodities, but it is an emanation of the human person. For this reason, its value is higher than all other things. With the beginning of industrialization, in addition to state measures for the protection and education of work, the workers joining forces in mutual unions have done everything to oppose the inferiority of the labor factor to capital. It should be emphasized that the right to work is not a subjective right that you can claim in court in case of non-realization, but it is a principle that the State through policies must be committed to create conditions for everyone to be employed. In the time of economic and financial globalization that today's society is experiencing, the right to work is not regulated only in national legislation, but also in international legislation and collective contracts. In this work, the sources of international labor law approved by the ILO, the UN and some regional organizations such as the Council of Europe and the European Union will be explained first. It is very important to know the international sources for labor law because they occupy a privileged position in the hierarchy of sources of law in the Republic of Albania, which are often overlooked by law enforcement officers. After exhausting the sources of international labor law, the national sources will be treated with a focus on our Constitution. A special place in this work will be occupied by trade union freedom and the right to strike according to domestic law, which have historically represented the basic means to protect the rights of women workers. At the end of the report in this conference, we will briefly dwell on the impact of globalization on labor law.

Marriage and the Obligations Arising from It
Authors: Buda Dhulı Brıkena , Dhulı Egı
Published: April 2024

Marriage, as an institution of law, is based on the moral and legal equality of spouses, on the feeling of mutual love, respect and understanding, as the basis of family unity. Healthy family and marital relationships contribute to the elimination of gender stereotypes. It all starts in the family and is transmitted throughout society. For this reason, rightly, if we want to know how much a society respects the principles of non-discrimination and gender equality, it is very effective to carry out this analysis also for the family. Both marriage and the family, as very important institutions, enjoy the special protection of the state. The general principles that pervade these institution s are: i) the principle of reciprocity of rights and obligations ii) the principle of equality in rights and obligations iii) putting the interests first: of children, of marriage, of the family iv) reciprocity: in loyalty, for moral help, for material help, for cooperation in the interests of the family and coexistence. Marriage is a legal and social coexistence between two different people whose responsibilities and rights are defined by law and social traditions. Couples marry for a variety of reasons, including love, cohabitation, and sometimes economic or social reasons. Equality between spouses is accepted as a rule social concept and as a principle of family law. The principle of equality and non-discrimination as well as that of violence in marital and family matters is one of the main points in the paper.

International Labor Relations
Authors: Çela Radovan
Published: April 2024

International Labor Relations (ILR) encapsulates the multifaceted interactions and dynamics shaping the global workforce's landscape. In an increasingly interconnected world, characterized by globalization, technological advancements, and economic interdependence, labor relations extend beyond national boundaries, influencing and being influenced by various factors. This abstract provides a succinct overview of the key themes, challenges, and opportunities within the realm of International Labor Relations. The study of ILR encompasses diverse aspects, including cross-border labor migration, multinational corporations' employment practices, labor standards, and international trade agreements' impact on employment. Central to ILR is the examination of the interactions between governments, employers, workers, and international organizations, as they navigate complex socio-economic and political contexts. Globalization has profoundly shaped ILR, fostering the integration of economies and labor markets across countries. As a result, labor issues increasingly transcend national borders, posing both opportunities and challenges for workers, employers, and policymakers. Technological advancements, such as automation and digitalization, further complicate labor dynamics, influencing employment patterns and skills requirements on a global scale. Challenges within ILR include ensuring decent work conditions, protecting workers' rights, and addressing inequalities in labor markets. Issues such as informal employment, gender disparities, and the informalization of labor pose significant hurdles to achieving inclusive and sustainable growth. Moreover, the rise of global supply chains has raised concerns about labor exploitation and the enforcement of labor standards across borders. International organizations play a crucial role in shaping ILR through the development and implementation of labor standards, conventions, and guidelines. Institutions like the International Labour Organization (ILO) provide platforms for dialogue and cooperation among governments, employers, and workers to address labor-related challenges and promote social justice. In conclusion, International Labor Relations are complex and dynamic, influenced by globalization, technological advancements, and economic forces. Addressing the diverse challenges within ILR requires collaborative efforts from governments, employers, workers, and international organizations to ensure fair and inclusive labor practices and promote sustainable development globally.

Digital Innovation Hubs Transforming Business and Marketing Collaboration
Authors: Sotirofski Ilindena , Kraja Gentiana
Published: April 2024

In the fast-evolving landscape of business and marketing, Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) have emerged as transformative catalysts, reshaping collaboration dynamics. The innovation hub, like incubators, R&D labs, and impact hubs, designates a physical space dedicated to fostering innovation within an organization or community. Defining an innovation hub proves challenging, as it is often linked to an open co-working space with a stylish design and tools for creative thinking. However, it extends beyond being merely a physical space for idea generation. A well-designed physical space facilitates in-person collaboration, while a digital platform enables global collaboration, transcending geographic constraints. Innovation hubs embody a distinctive entrepreneurial culture marked by a global perspective and values that often prioritize social behavior. Particularly in regions with conservative politics and cultural norms, these hubs can function as a secure environment for embracing culturally unfamiliar behaviors and mindsets. A Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) serves as an all-encompassing structure, empowering organizations to enhance competitiveness through the optimization of processes and the innovation of products and services using innovative digital technologies.

Mirrors of Memory: Liudmila Shestakova and Mikhail Glinka. Second Article.
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Lashchenko Svetlana K. ,   Russian Christian Academy for Humanities named after Fyodor Dostoevsky
Published: April 2024

The article continues its examination of one of the memorial articles by Liudmila Shestakova (1816–1906). The analysis of the correlation of her memoirs of her brother with his own personal self-perception, his compositional and public activities prove the following: Shestakova was very subjective in her description of the last years of the life of a person who was close to her. At the center of our attention is Shestakova’s assertion of the “fading” of Glinka’s musical talent, his limited creative activities and the wish to withdraw from music entirely, which manifested itself in him from time to time. The sources for such a perspective are analyzed. Parallels are traced with the attitude of society towards the late stage of Alexander Pushkin’s evolution as a poet and artist. Shestakova’s perspective of Glinka’s milieu is examined. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the document sent to Shestakova by Siegfried Wilhelm Dehn. Proof is provided that Shestakova’s memoirs presented in the article had been conducive in no small degree to the formation of the myth of the barrenness of the last stage of Glinka’s music, which has survived to a considerable degree up to our days. The attempt of reconstruction of Glinka’s activities after a decade and a half after his demise was the result of the subjective view of Glinka’s sister on the composer’s legacy during the final years of his life, which created an impact on Glinka studies in Russia during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Published: April 2024

On the basis of the documents preserved at the Russian State Archive for Literature and Art, the author of the article illuminates the historical context of the inauguration in 1944 of a musical institution of higher education of a scholarly-methodological profle, and also provides her evaluation of the frst decade of its functioning. As a characteristic feature, the absence of a strongly pronounced “formative period” is noted, since the activities of the Gnesins’ State Musical-Pedagogical Institute relied on the half-a-century old experience of the functioning of the other educational institutions founded by the Gnesins’. The article examines questions of the active development of the music theory education of a three-level system (from the school to the college, and then to the higher educational institution), of the formation of the genres of musicological literature, the collaboration of the faculty of the new musical education with the Moscow Conservatory, etc. The author of the article emphasizes that the constructive scholarly-methodological work under the guidance of Elena Fabianovna Gnesina was of an expedient character. During the course of a decade the tutorial-methodological basis of the professional musical education of the whole country was formed. During the course of a short period of time, the activities of the institute acquired a national scale, thereby, the Gnesins’ State Musical-Pedagogical Institutes became an outstanding project of time.
The Influence of the Ontology of Orthodox Christian Art on Music and Icon Painting
Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Alekseeva Galina V.
Published: April 2024

The social institution of the Orthodox Christian Church penetrates into all the aspects of artistry (icon painting, church singing, church rituals), supporting individual thinking. However, it is only in the present day than the integrity of this thinking is becoming comprehensible. The methods of iconography, musicology, and singing paleography, the meticulous reading of the theological utterances of St. John of Damascus and the other Church Fathers, analysis of the historiography of the works of such authors as Father Pavel Florensky, Yuri Lotman, Alexei Lidov, Sergei Averintsev, and Nikolai Mikhaltsov allow us to understand the deep ontology of Orthodox Christian art. The author of the article presumes that the concept of St. John of Damascus, expressed in the concept of perichorisis, reflecting the idea of the “mutual exchange of energies,” should be interpreted not only christologically, but as being the most important ontological basis of the entire legacy that accompanies church service. It is perichorisis that provides the synergy of the artistic means: the color scheme of images and the color model of the chant text for the icon, as well as the melodic formulas of the chant merge in unity. As a result of this, a unique set of regulator-techniques of the expressivity of ecclesiastic art is formed, which also exerts an impact on modern art. The article provides examples of such influence in the work of Georgy Sviridov.
In Search for a Genuine Reality: The Specificity of Genre and Dramaturgy in Per Nørgård’s opera Siddharta
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State A. K. Glazunov Conservatory, Okuneva Ekaterina G.
Published: April 2024

The article focuses on the peculiarities of genre and dramaturgy of the opera Siddharta (1974‒1979, revised 1984, libretto by Ole Sarvig) by Danish composer Per Nørgård. Its plotline is based on the story of young Buddha, his birth, growing up and encounter with human sufferings, from which the prince had been artificially shielded by his father. The author of the article connects the opera’s singularity of genre with its character of modulation from a mystery to a drama, which is confirmed by the changes occurring in the libretto’s lexical structure, in the chronotope of the composition, which reflects consistently the various models of time (the mythological, the artistic, and the psychological), in the choice of different opera forms for each act, and in the dramaturgical process directed from the outward eventful plane to the inward psychological dimension. The article reveals the compositional strategies that helped Nørgård manifest the conflict between the genuine and the inauthentic world on a musical level: the rhythmic transformation and the metric reaccentuation of the themes, the combination of the overtone and the undertone pitch sets, the rejection of the hierarchical system at the end of Act III, symbolizing the main protagonist’s estrangement from the world of his past. In connection with the artistic crisis experienced by Nørgård after he composed Siddharta, the author presumes that the opera may be interpreted as a self-reflection of artistic activity.
A Glance at Cryptophony in Alexander Raikhelson’s Six Translations from Willi Melnikov for Theremin and Piano
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State A. K. Glazunov Conservatory, Koposova Irina V.
Published: April 2024

The technique of cryptophony, which was developed in the 1990s, presents a rare example of skill and knowledge formed in this country in the sphere of the newest methods of composing music. Its essence is connected with a consistent recoding of a verbal text into a musical text on the basis of correlations between letters and pitches chosen by the composer. The peculiarities of this technique have already been described in their general features, however analysis of the compositions connected with it has not lost its topicality, since it makes it possible to expand our perception of cryptophony and its potential. The object of study in the article is Alexander Raikhelson’s cycle Six Translations from Willi Melnikov for piano and theremin (1996), one of the composer’s first cryptophonic works. The article highlights the peculiarities of Melnikov’s poem, analyzes the principles of the composer’s work, and establishes that the latter’s approach is determined by the content and the capacity of the poems. The short texts that fixate one image each (Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5) are transformed into instrumental miniatures with the help of a simpler cipher (a chromatic or diatonic pitch set stemming from one definite pitch), and in them the syntax of the text is observed and a homophonic texture is used. The movements created from extended poems (Nos. 2 and 6) possess a polymelodic texture the lines of which sever the connection with the words; they make use of two ciphers each that possess individual structures. During the course of study of the cycle, elements of sound-figurativeness have been revealed, which appear in the Six Translations on various levels — from the peculiarities of the organization of the cipher and the textural regularities to the transmission of the poet’s voice by means of the timbre of the theremin. The undertaken analysis discloses the wealth of the possibilities present in the technique of cryptophony and convinces us that the action of the principle of recoding lying at its basis does not limit itself to the identification of the system of correlation between the letters and the pitches, but, spanning various strata, establishes numerous connections between the music and the text that generated it.
Transcriptions of Musical Texts in Work with Beginning Pianists

The article examines artistic tutorial assignments for transforming the primary authorial musical text in the conditions of ensemble music-making in a piano class. Their goal is the mastery of certain skills of free music-making in the context of the dialogic structures and intonational lexis of baroque music. Examination is made of such universal techniques of artistic transformation as registering and doubling, which were widely used in the 17th and 18th centuries upon the re-exposition of the clavier musical text into various instrumental ensemble textures. The technique of application presumes turning to the timbral possibilities of the contemporary piano or the keyboard synthesizer. On the basis of the tutorial assignments, fragments of J. S. Bach’s instructive compositions are presented, most notably, the introductory pieces to cycles (the preludes, fantasies and pieces written in dance genres). Role play is applied on the basis of analysis of the semantic structures of the musical text in the storylines of I am playing the organ, There is a rehearsal of early orchestra going on, and Trio for two flutes and cello.
The Processes of Digitalization in Art and Creativity: Dialectics of Interconnection
Authors:   Far Eastern State Technical Fisheries University, Tsareva Nadezhda A.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of the processes of digitalization in contemporary art and their influence on the artist, the comprehension of virtual space in the philosophy of postmodernism. In the article the specificity of digital art is discussed, and the extent of justifiability of the predictions of the development of virtual reality in art is determined. In the philosophy of postmodernism, the processes of virtualization have been evaluated ambivalently. The virtual dimension does not always stand against reality. Art presents a sphere of a productive interaction between the real and the virtual. The virtual world created by art contains within itself the possibility of transferal into actual reality. On the one hand, the contemporary processes of digitalization in art enhance the tendencies of degradation of the cyber culture, the possibility of replacement of the artist with the programmer. On the other hand, they erase the boundary between the real and the virtual worlds. The space generated by the computer opens up new strata of the multifaceted world, other dimensions of the already familiar existence. The means of computer technologies generate diversity in the aesthetic perception of art. But for actualization of the virtual space as a transformed reality a creator is required. The preservation of the self-sufficient presence of the artist in digital technologies of art would be possible with the aid of the dialectic character of their interaction.
The Artistic Installation as a Form of Transmitting of Socially Significant Meanings
Authors:   Rostov State S. V. Rachmaninoff Conservatory, Krylova Alexandra V.
Published: April 2024

The connection between art and society presents the main subject of the article. Briefly touching upon the causes of this phenomenon, which stem from the high level of communicative activity of the modern context of our lives, the author shows the connection of these processes and the need of art to absorb the vital problems of our existence — war and peace, ecology, a healthy lifestyle, the role of art, etc. Many artists today think that the absence of that connection leaves art beyond the boundaries of its relevant and called-for forms. One sign of that global tendency is the special interest in the documentary artistic practices, as well as the drifting of art outside of its traditional environment of museums and concert halls. The result is wide dissemination of the performative forms of presentation of socially significant artistic concepts, one of which is installation. While characterizing the environmental side of the issue and tracing the key points of the historical development of the art of installation, the author observes that it is genetically determined to reflect the socially significant problems. Considering the different examples of installation artefacts, the author points out their predisposition to the synthesis of arts. Introducing music to the broad palette of expression means that it not simply intensifies this influence, but, because of the processual nature of music, it possesses the effect of theatricality that manifests itself in the process of exploration of artistically organized environments on the part of the audience. Analyzing the examples of installation constructs that are situated in urban landscapes from this perspective, the author arrives at the idea that the natural consequence of the aforementioned processes is the emergence of artistically presented installations. One of the possible examples is the installation by Heiner Goebbels Everything that Happened and Would Happen based on texts from Europeana: A Brief History of the 20th Century by Patrik Ourednik. The main aim of the analysis of all the examples is to identify some of the new forms of involvement of audiences in the process of perception. While traversing through the liminal state, it is involved in the meaning-generating process and in the process of search and comprehension of the meaning, the audience acquires the chance to understand profoundly the difficult problems of modern social life.
Creativity as a Universal Phenomenon of Existence (About Olga Zhukova’s Authorial Conception)
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Volkova Polina S.
Published: April 2024

This article is devoted to the issue of creativity, which is perceived by the example of the monograph Tvorchestvo i religioznost' v russkoi kul'ture. Filosofskie issledovaniya [Creativity and Religiosity in Russian Culture. Philosophical Studies] (2022) written by Russian philosopher and cultural scholar Olga Zhukova. Although the philosophical and cultural analysis of the artistic process is carried out in the researcher’s work mainly based on the material of literature, the universal nature of creativity allows the author to discover the parallels between the verbal, philosophical and musical modes of discourse. Since the provisions and ideas expounded in the monograph create the precedent for discussing the current topical theoretical and methodological issues of the art of music, the purpose of the article is determined by constructing a system of argumentation that ensures the legitimacy of the following statement: creativity acts as a phenomenon of existence, determining the self-justification of the artist’s personality, whether he or she is a poet, artist or composer, or a reader, viewer and/or listener (performer). At the same time, the central task of this article is to position music as a spiritual and intellectual type of creativity, the universal forms of which are the knowledge of reality and the creation of an image of meaning, revealed in the structure of an artistic text. Relying on the experience of well-known philosophers, cultural and art historians, word artists and performing musicians, the author expresses the necessity to tune the ear of every artist to the sounding entity, the essence of which is able to be revealed with the most completeness only by music.

In the not-so-distant future, it may be entirely possible for an aquaculture farmer to harvest robust crops of seaweeds and shellfish safely within the leased area of an offshore wind farm. Likewise, a charter boat captain may tap into turbine sensors for weather and traffic data needed to navigate a boatload of recreational anglers to productive fishing grounds. Or, perhaps, commercial fishermen deploy innovative gear types on modified vessels to safely and lucratively fish within wind farms.

Though these marinas depend on a healthy coastal environment, many of them carry out boat maintenance and repair that generate oils and greases, heavy metals (particularly copper, a major component of boat paint), sediment, and nutrients that can be mobilized by stormwater and directly conveyed to nearshore waters (Jessop and Turner, 2011). Given projections of increased precipitation and runoff for the Great Lakes region (Byun et al., 2019), marinas serve as a “last chance” opportunity to reduce stormwater volumes, peak flow rates, and pollutant concentrations. Here, we discuss how improved design and retrofits to existing marinas can mitigate runoff pollution (McAllister et al., 1996).
