Authors:   International Life Science Institute (ILSI) Southeast Asia Region, Singapore, Tee E-Siong , Chan Pauline ,   International Life Science Institute (ILSI) Southeast Asia Region, Singapore
Published: December 2022

A review conducted on the regulatory status of bioactive non-nutritional food components in foods and beverages in eight Southeast Asian countries indicates these components have been recognised for their health benefits. Indonesia and Malaysia have promulgated specific regulations allowing the addition of these bioactive components in foods and beverages, provided a list of the permitted components that may be used, and clear process for the industry to apply for new components. Both countries also have separate regulations that govern the making of function claims which refer to the beneficial physiological or health effects brought about by such bioactive components. The other six countries do not have a specific regulation governing the use of these bioactive components. However, these countries also permit the making of similar function claims, provided they are scientifically substantiated, preferably human clinical trials. Each country has slightly different requirements and process in place for reviewing applications for claims. All countries, except Myanmar, also allow the sale and marketing of foods containing probiotics, another functional food component. Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand have promulgated specific probiotic regulations and, except for Indonesia, have published permitted list of probiotics. All seven countries have provisions for the industry to apply for the use of new probiotics. Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand permit the use of a pre-approved generic function claims related to probiotics. The sharing of experiences in regulatory approaches would be beneficial to the advancement of scientific and regulatory development of bioactive non-nutritional food components in the region and would benefit all stakeholders.

Authors: Sanga Goodluck John , Kongolo Mukole , Mnongya Rosemary
Published: December 2022

The research examines the effect of inflation on economic growth in Tanzania. The study employs the secondary time series data from 1970 to 2020 taken from the Bank of Tanzania, and the VECM is used to find the cointegration between variables to show the short-run and long run dynamics. Graphical analysis and Augmented Dickey-Fuller tests were conducted to find the unit root in the model. All variables were stationary and integrated in the same order I(1). The results show that the error correction was significantly negative. That is, the annual rate of adjustment required to achieve long-run equilibrium was 28.31 percent. Based on the findings in the short-run, the extended money supply and interest rates had negative and insignificant effects on GDP, while the exchange rate had an inversely significant effect on GDP. Inflation targeting had a favourable insignificant effect on GDP. Long-run results show that extended money supply, exchange rates, and interest rates had positive significant effects on economic growth, whereas inflation targeting had negative significant effects on GDP. It is recommended that the government, policymakers, and financial institutions focus on managing inflation by the prudent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies, and maintaining a regulation of interest rates, the extended money supply, and real exchange rates also inflation targeting should be emphasized by improving the central bank's communication, transparency, and accountability to avoid inflation volatility and stimulate economic growth.

Authors: Parajuli Kanchan
Published: December 2022

The major objective of this study was to update the status of wetlands birds around Hetauda valley, based on recent observations. The study was conducted in different wetlands and riverine ecosystems of the Hetauda sub-metropolitan city. The present study recorded 81 species of wetland-dependent birds representing 41.9% of the total wetland birds of the country, belonging to nine orders and twenty-three families. Charadriiformes were found to be the most dominant order. Out of the total wetland bird recorded, 36 species were winter visitors, 38 were residents, and seven were summer visitors. It is found to be a good roosting site for many migratory and residential birds. The fishery complex and its adjoining areas were found to be more diverse in comparison to other study sites. Major threat issues observed in the study area are habitat fragmentation and degradation, pollution and sewage from the industrial belts and urban areas, overfishing, poaching, mining of sand and gravel from rivers, lack of awareness, etc. Recently the human activities and population of Hetauda is raising rapidly after the declaration of Hetauda as the capital city of Bagmati province. Furthermore, the important highways of the country like the east-west highway, Tribhuwan highway from Hetauda to Kathmandu, Dharan-Chatara highway, and the Nijgadh-Kathmandu fast track which is under construction are passes through Hetauda. This confirms that Hetauda is rising rapidly and will be converted into a big city soon. So an Instant plan should be developed to ensure sustainable conservation and development in an eco-friendly manner.

Authors: Upreti Sujaya , Ghimire Ram P. , Banskota Niraj
Published: December 2022

Hydroponic fodder production technology involves an intensive method of quality fodder production in less space and in a shorter duration. An experiment was conducted to compare the different cereal grains under hydroponic fodder production for the fodder yield, fodder quality, and per unit production cost in a locally constructed polyhouse. Maize (Zea mays L.), oat (Avena sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were evaluated as the treatments. The experiment was carried out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 12 replications at National Pasture and Fodder Research Program in July 2017 and July 2018. The observations were taken on plant morphological characters, fodder yield (including root mat), fodder nutrient composition and expenses in variable costs. The results of the study showed that the fodder yield varied significantly (P<0.05) for different cereal grains. The hydroponic fodder yields from each kg grain were recorded higher in fodder oat (7.96 kg) compared to wheat (6.76 kg) and maize (5.32 kg). Similarly, the crude protein (CP) content of the fodder was higher in wheat (16.16%) compared to oat (13.96%) and maize (12.51%). The cost of hydroponic maize, oat and wheat fodder production were obtained as recorded NPR 20.64, 24.67 and 18.76 per kg, respectively.

Published: December 2022

Experiments on maize (Zea mays L.) were carried out aiming to control banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) caused by fungus, Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn with six treatments represented by different fungicides, antagonists and phytoextracts against control receiving no spray with three replicates of each under field conditions during two consecutive years from 2019 to 2020. In 2019, the higher Percent Disease Control (44.85%) and Percent Yield Increase (62.10%) both were estimated in plot treated with SAAF (carbendazim 12% WP + mancozeb 63% WP) followed by the plot where seed was treated with bavistin (carbendazim 50% WP). The grain yield was higher in plots treated with SAAF followed by leaf stripping method. Almost similar trends of disease control were observed in 2020. The lower percent disease index (47.67% PDI) with higher yield (4660 kg/ha) was recorded from the plot sprayed with SAAF@3 g/L during knee high and subsequent spray after 15 days interval followed by leaf stripping technique (lower 3-4 leaves from ground surface) as compared to control plot (PDI- 93.67% and yield-1393.33 kg/ ha). The results showed that, the combined treatment with fungicides i.e. seed treatment with bavistin before sowing and twice spraying of SAAF during knee height stage at 15 days interval followed by leaf stripping technique were effective to control banded leaf and sheath blight disease of maize to increase the yield.

Published: December 2022

Lack of understanding regarding the choice of chemical fungicides or botanicals with their optimal doze and spraying schedule is one of the major problems concerning mid-hill farmers to control finger millet diseases in Nepal. In order to assess the effectiveness of the four fungicides, namely Bavistin 50 WP (Carbendazim 50%), SAAF (Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP), RIDOMIL-MZ 72 WP (Metalyxl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP), BAAN 75 WP (Tricyclazole 75%), and two botanicalsermented anaerobically in cattle urine, an artificial epiphytotic field. In the years 2018 and 2019, the experiment was run using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Carbendazim, one of the chosen treatments, had the greatest impact in lowering the AUDPC values for leaf blast (1818, 1191) as well as neck (4,53) and finger blast (10,45) incidence percentage in both 2018 and 2019 years. Tricyclazole, SAAF, RIDOMIL-MZ, and Lantana camara fermented in cow urine were also discovered to be beneficial throughout the year.  So it is recommended to deploy fungicides in a controlled manner through rotation and mixed applications, which is advantageous for both grain and seed production even for minor and underutilized crops from an economic aspect.

Published: December 2022

The feed additive is one of the important components in poultry production to enhance the performance of birds. An experiment was conducted atNational Animal Nutrition Research Center, Khumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal in order to evaluate the feasibility of probiotics as feed additives in New Hampshire chicken performance. The experiment was laid out with four treatments viz. basal diet which is concentrate mixture without inclusion of probiotic (Lactobacillus acidophilus - 50*109 cfu/kg, Bacillus subtilis - 1*109 cfu/kg, Bacillus licheniformis - 1*109 cfu/kg, Saccharomyces boulardii - 10*109cfu/kg) as basal diet with 0.5 gram of probiotic per liter of water , basal diet with 1 gram of probiotics per liter of water and basal diet with 1.5 gram of probiotics per liter of water under completely randomized design replicated three times. A total of 180, 8th week New Hampshire chickens were allotted with 15 birds in each experimental unit. Experimental birds were fed ad-libitum amount of formulated concentrate feed and clean drinking water with proper management practices.The highest weight gain was observed in treatment group provided with 1g of probiotic in diet (1957.96 g) followed by treatment group provided with 0.5 g of probiotic in diet (1891.40 g), 1.5g probiotic in diet (1879 g) and lowest in treatment group without probiotic in diet (1793.62 g). However there was no significant difference in total feed intake between all the treatment groups. Similarly, better feed conversion ratio (FCR) was found inbirds fed with 1g probiotic (3.59) followed by 0.5g probiotic (3.67), 1.5 g probiotic (3.72) and without probiotic in diet (3.87). Dressing percentage was also found higher (85.03 %) in birds fed with 1g of probiotic included diet than other groups of birds.
Efficacy of co-inoculation of the rhizobium and pseudomonas in combination with chemical fertilizer on the productivity of rice under legume-based cropping system
Authors: Kandel Saraswoti , Pokhrel Anil , Sharma Reena , Rayamajhi Kamana , Chaudhary Suraj
Published: December 2022

The main production restriction in Nepal is a shortage of nitrogen and phosphorus-based fertilizers. In addition, the excessive use of chemical fertilizers to increase rice production alters the soils’ physicochemical and biological qualities. The effective application of biofertilizers obtained from beneficial microorganisms is on demand for increasing agriculture production as well as maintaining soil health sustainably. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design (RCBD) with five treatments and four replications at Grain Legumes Research Program (GLRP), Khajura, Banke in order to find out the response of co-inoculation of Rhizobium and Pseudomonas in combination with different dose of recommended chemical fertilizers. The application of the co-inoculated Rhizobium and Pseudomonas at the dose of 800 g/ha along with the recommended N:P2O5:K2O dose of 100:60:30 kg/ha was found to be best effective among all treatment combinations. The maximum panicle length, biological yield, grain yield and thousand grains weight were 27.75 cm, 6.55 t/ha, 6.083 t/ha, and 27.67 g, respectively. In this study, co-inoculation of Rhizobium, Pseudomonas and a full dose of prescribed chemical fertilizers improved panicle length, biological yield, grain yield and thousand grains weight considerably more than others.

Published: December 2022

The present study was carried out to study the variation, broad-sense heritability, and genetic advance, correlation among traits for growth, yield, and its attributing traits in lentil genotypes. Sixty lentil genotypes were evaluated in augmented design in 2020 at Khajura, Banke. The results indicated that the genotypes were significantly different for days to flowering, days to maturity, 500 seed weight and grain yield kg/ha. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was greater than the genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) for all traits. The 500 seed weight showed the highest PCV (22%) and GCV (21%) whereas days to maturity showed the lowest PCV (5.5%) and GCV (3.2%). The highest value (90%) of heritability (broad sense) was in and lowest (3%) in pods per plant. Genetic Advance Mean 40% was the highest for seed weight but lowest at 1.2% in pods per plant. Grain yield showed a positive and significant correlation in genotypic level with days to maturity (r = 0.7**), plant height (r = 1.66*), pods per plant (r = 1.15**) and seed weight (r = 0.56*). Path analysis found that the seed weight had the most impact on grain yield followed by pod per plant. Thus, selection for yield in lentils through these characteristics would be effective in the varietal developmental program.

Authors: Pandey Sunita , Aryal Sunil , Aryal Lok Nath , Timsina Krishna Prasad
Published: December 2022

Organic farming is a production system that relies on ecosystem management rather than external agricultural inputs to sustain the health of soils, ecosystem and organisms. This needs enough organic plant protection measures and biological fertilizers by eliminating synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. An attempt was made to review current plant protection measures for organic farming in Nepal. Though some insect pests and diseases are very hard to control without the use of chemical pesticides, this is high time to produce agriculture products organically. There is ample prospect of organic production in Nepal utilizing traditional knowledge of Nepalese farmers and existing agri-biodiversity. The paper is focused on best utilization of local natural resources, indigenous knowledge and bio-control agents for plant protection in organic agriculture. The information related to organic plant protection measures are collected from various sources and are grouped. The authors have listed technologies on organic plant protection measures in Nepal and made some suggestions to improve the organic farming of the country.

Published: December 2022

The Survey Department of Nepal has started transformation of cadastral management from offline to centralized online system. This has enabled the department to provide the online services to the clients beyond the physical boundaries of Survey Offices. This paper elaborates the present status of online service delivery in different survey offices based on recent policy, institutions and their applications. Data analysis shows that Nepal Land Information System (NeLIS) supports basic norms and values of online service delivery effectively and has become a major milestone in the e-land administration. The provision of assigning different roles and sections inside a survey office has made the system more secure, reliable and responsive. Recently, directives of digital land surveying, mapping and administration for public service delivery have been formulated to address the legal aspect of service delivery. The provision of online application for map, field book and plot register print through https://www.merokitta. dos.gov.np has simplified the working procedure for general public and institutional users too. The expansion of this system in more survey offices along with additional and more advanced features are necessary. Similarly, legal provision of data sharing between Land Records Information Management System (LRIMS) and NeLIS in a meaningful way is also essential in the days to come.

Who edited the series “Избранные стихи русских поэтов” (Selected Poems by Russian Poets, 1914)
Authors: Khazan Vladimir
Published: December 2022

The article is concerned with the discovery of the author–compiler of the series “Избранные стихи русских поэтов” (Selected Poems by Russian Poets, 1914), compiled by the revolutionary terrorist Ksenia Pamfilova (1881–1957), a member of the Combat Organization of the Socialist Revolutionaries (nickname Irina), the wife of the famous Russian revolutionary Lev Zilberberg who was executed in 1907. After the provocateur Azef ’s denunciation and arresting group, which Pamfilova belonged to, she managed to slip out of the police hands and flee to the West. When she settled in Italy (Cavi di Lavagna), she prepared this collection with her comrades in arms, the “group of compilers” (most likely Boris Savinkov, Andrey Sobol and others). It was published in the capital of Russia (Mikhail Stasyulevych’s printing-house).

Z Afganistanu pod Filippi, czyli rzecz o standardach badawczych [Rec. Steele Brand, Killing for the Republic: Citizen-Soldiers and the Roman Way of War, Baltimore 2019]
Authors: Faszcza Michał Norbert
Published: December 2022

Artykuł recenzyjny traktuje o monografii autorstwa Steele’a Branda poświęconej motywacjom, jakie przyświecały żołnierzom republikańskiego Rzymu. Jej omówienie stanowi punkt wyjścia do zobrazowania szerszej tendencji, przejawiającej się sukcesywnym spychaniem problematyki militarnej na margines życia naukowego, co skutkuje ponownym powiązaniem prowadzonych badań z instytucjami wojskowymi. Wziąwszy pod uwagę, że te ostatnie nie zostały powołane do prowadzenia działalności stricte naukowej, lecz ich nadrzędnym celem jest kształcenie oficerów, prowadzi to do zubożenia dyskursu i powstania deformacji historiograficznych płynących z nieznajomości uwarunkowań społeczno-kulturowych.

Authors: Szczepaniak Piotr
Published: December 2022

Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie procesu napływu galicyjskich uchodźców wojennych do Żywca w okresie od sierpnia 1914 do maja 1915 roku. W tekście przedstawiono dane liczbowe oraz informacje pozwalające scharakteryzować pod względem wyznaniowym i zawodowym przybyłych do Żywca uchodźców. Zwrócono również uwagę na zaangażowanie mieszkańców miasta w pomoc przybyłej ludności. Brak danych w literaturze historycznej uniemożliwia pełne porównanie zjawiska napływu uchodźców w innych miastach skrajnie zachodniej części Galicji. Zebrane w artykule informacje mogą posłużyć za materiał porównawczy w badaniach tego zagadnienia w kontekście innych miejscowości.

Edylat G. Juliusza Cezara (65 rok przed Chr.) i jego polityczne konteksty
Authors: Rogosz Norbert
Published: December 2022

Autor artykułu omawia aktywność publiczną G. Juliusza Cezara w trakcie sprawowania przez niego urzędu edyla kurulnego w 65 roku przed Chrystusem. Swoją uwagę koncentruje nie tylko na działaniach Cezara wynikających z posiadanych przez niego wówczas uprawnień łączących się z tym stanowiskiem. Akcentuje także wykraczające poza nie posunięcia polityczne Cezara, związane z nimi intrygi oraz będące ich efektem rozgrywki, w które był on zaangażowany. Dlatego autor artykułu wiele uwagi poświęcił również politycznym powiązaniom Cezara — politykom, z którymi wówczas ściśle współpracował, oraz przeciwnikom, z którymi się wtedy na forum publicznym ścierał, a także najważniejszym ówczesnym rzymskim ugrupowaniom, czyli popularom i optymatom.
Na wołoskich rubieżach. Pochodzenie i stosunki etniczne ludności wołoskiej/wałaskiej na pograniczu śląsko-kisucko-morawskim (w świetle historiografii)
Authors: Nowak Krzysztof
Published: December 2022

Od wielu lat sprawy pochodzenia etnicznego migrantów wołoskich budzą kontrowersje. Omawiany obszar stanowił punkt końcowy wołoskich migracji na kierunku zachodnim. Skąpe przekazy źródłowe powodowały, że w wielu pracach ważną rolę odgrywały czynniki subiektywne i polityczne dotyczące opinii na temat przewagi i roli elementów słowiańskich bądź rumuńskich w osadnictwie wołoskim. Autor artykułu omawia historiografię problemu pochodzenia etnicznego Wołochów/Wałachów przybyłych na geograficzne i historyczne pogranicze Śląska, Kisuc i Moraw w pierwszej połowie XVI wieku. Najbardziej udokumentowaną źródłowo publikacją naukową na tentemat pozostaje nadal praca czeskiego badacza Josefa Macůrka z 1959 roku.

W artykule badane są reprezentacje weganizmu w kontekście dyskusji na temat sposobów zapobiegania degradacji środowiska naturalnego. Jednocześnie stawiana jest teza o instrumentalizacji weganizmu przez dyskurs antropocenu, która z kolei prowadzi do marginalizowania kwestii zwierzęcego cierpienia. Na przykładzie omówienia wybranych aspektów książki Donaty Marfiak i Jerzego Reya Mamo, tato – dlaczego nie jemy zwierząt, czyli o tym, jak dzieci ratują świat pokazano, że jedną z przestrzeni, w której związek pomiędzy weganizmem, dobrostanem zwierząt i troską o środowisko wybrzmiewa w sposób podkreślający współzależność i wspólnotowość żyjących organizmów, jest wegańska literatura dziecięca.

Published: December 2022

Thermal homeostasis is required in order to ensure that the normal function of the human body is maintained under various environmental conditions. Various pathological processes impacting metabolism in tissues and organs (e.g., the human eye) are accompanied by changes in relative internal heat balance. Although numerous relevant studies have been conducted, heat exchange processes in the human eye have not been yet sufficiently investigated. Further research on the features of heat exchange in the eye is required not only to improve our knowledge in the field of physiology of the eye, but also to use the data obtained for developing novel advanced techniques for eye disease diagnosis and treatment.
Influence of body size and coloration on the mate choice in striped stink bug (Graphosoma lineatum L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
Authors: Bjedov Linda , Vucelja Marko , Margaletić Josip
Published: December 2022

Female as well as male mate choice has already been recognized in many insects. The traits responsible for the mate choice in a striped stink bug (Graphosoma lineatum L.) are not yet explored. This works concentrates on few possible traits responsible for mate choice in a striped stink bug. For this analysis free living copulating individuals as well as the single ones were collected. On two different locations animals were collected and their body length, pronotum broadness and coloration were measured. No differences were found in all measured traits between copulating and control individuals, showing no preferences when choosing copulation partner. Results also show no evidence of assortative mating, referring to the body length and the pronotum broadness of both sexes. All three measured traits seem not to have an influence on the mate choice of both sexes. Further experimental testing is needed to fully excluded importance of body size and coloration in mate choice of a striped stink bug.
On the issue of cultural influence on risk perception
Authors: Oppong Seth
Published: December 2022

After an extensive review of the literature and his own empirical studies investigating the effect of culture on risk perception, Sjöberg (1998) concluded that the cultural theory simply is wrong and therefore, dead. However, other researchers and studies tend to also suggest that culture theory still has a significant explanatory power. The purpose of the study, therefore, was to gather new evidence using a different analysis technique to contribute to resolving this inconclusive conclusion. Data were gathered from 226 commercial vehicle drivers and were classified based on their transport-specific worldview or culture. A general linear model fitting using one-way ANOVA was conducted to compare the respondents on their transport-specific risk perception. Results of the cluster analysis showed that there were three clusters of drivers which were labelled as “Traditional-Conformists” (Cluster III drivers), “Adventurists” (Cluster II drivers) and “Moderates” (Cluster I). The ANOVA results further showed that Traditional-Conformist (Cluster III) drivers reported more accurate perception of risk compared to the Moderates (Cluster I) and the Adventurists (Cluster II). The findings were discussed in context of the ongoing debate about the explanatory power of culture in accounting for differences in risk perception. The implications for future research were also discussed.

Authors: Dugheri Stefano , Mucci Nicola , Arcangeli Giulio , Trevisani Lucia , Squillaci Donato , Bucaletti Elisabetta , Cappelli Giovanni , Mini Enrico
Published: December 2022

Occupational exposure to antineoplastic drugs (ADs) handling and administration is one of the main risks in the healthcare sector. Dermal absorption represents the primary route of exposure to ADs. Personal preventive equipment, especially medical gloves, is crucial to safeguard the workers health in ADs handling; thus, chemicals permeating through protective materials is an essential aspect to estimate and consider. Several studies on permeation through medical gloves reported that breakthrough time and permeation rate are the values that must be studied, observing that physical-chemical properties of drugs, PPE materials and thickness, and temperature are crucial features to estimate them. In the European Union, standardized permeation testing is not mandatory for gloves used in ADs manipulation, in contrast with the United States, that proposed stringent requirements in the American Society of Testing and Materials International standard D6978-05. This review would help identify the main characteristics of the best protective glove used by employees frequently exposed to ADs: the major aspects implicated in permeation, reported in the literature, are listed and discussed.
Opća načela zakonodavstva EU-a o zaštiti zdravlja i sigurnosti na radu
Authors: Učur Marinko Đ. , Krišto Ivana , Kovač Cvetan
Published: December 2022

Načela radnog prava, a time i prava sigurnosti na radu i zaštite zdravlja radnika na radu, temelj su pravnim vrelima koja uređuju pitanja i odnose u tom području. Uz univerzalne pravne norme, posebnu ulogu imaju pravni propisi koji čine europsko pravo zaštite na radu (primarnog i sekundarnog karaktera) kao dio pravne stečevine EU-a (acquis communautaire ). Kao zakonodavac u EU tu su Europski parlament i Vijeće EU-a (dok pravo zakonodavne inicijative „pripada“ Europskoj komisiji) što je osobito istaknuto u sekundarnim vrelima prava (direktivama, uredbama, odlukama i sporazumima).
Obveze države članice EU-a su da „preuzme“ određene direktive u svoj pravni sustav i da „ostvari cilj zadan direktivama“. Pri tome su načela ispred pravne norme, u pravnoj normi i u primjeni (i zaštiti) pravne norme. Uvijek, u stvaranju, primjeni i zaštiti pravne norme (u hipotezi, dispoziciji i sankciji) „stoji“ načelo. To se u svemu odnosi i na zakonodavstvo EU-a i na nacionalno zakonodavstvo o zaštiti na radu. Temeljna načela „postavila„ je Direktiva 1989/391/EEC, koja su prenesena u brojne („pojedinačne“) direktive („kćeri“) i druge kojima se uređuje zaštita na radu (specifične mjere, sredstva, djelatnosti, aktivnosti i drugo).
U sadržaju ovog rada posebni dio odnosi se na usklađenost zakonodavstva Republike Hrvatske s direktivama EU-a u području zaštite na radu.

Istraživanje je provedeno na 409 željezničkih radnika koji su u razdoblju od 5 godina pregledavani u Ustanovi za zdravstvenu skrb dr. Mijač. Cilj je bio analizirati tip i vrstu zdravstvenog pregleda, ocjenu radne sposobnosti te ustanoviti razloge zbog kojih su radnici bili privremeno ili trajno nesposobni. Analizirani su broj i vrsta pregleda te broj i vrsta ocjene radne sposobnosti. Žene je uključivalo 3,3 % pregleda, a 96,7 % muškarce, vjerojatno zbog specifičnosti željezničkog posla te je najveći broj pregledanih pripadalo dobnoj skupini 41-62. Obavljena su 62 prethodna, 672 periodična, 10 ciljanih i 28 kontrolnih pregleda. Ocjene radne sposobnosti bile su 772 (88,23 %) sposoban, 27 (3,09 %) nesposoban i 76 (8,68 %) privremeno nesposoban. Najviše je obavljeno periodičnih pregleda, na kojima je najčešća ocjena bila sposoban. Na izvanrednim i kontrolnim pregledima također je najčešća ocjena bila sposoban. Ocjene sposoban, privremeno nesposoban te nesposoban najčešće su bile donesene na periodičnim pregledima. Neki radnici bili su samo jednom privremeno nesposobni jer je njihova dijagnoza zahtijevala kratkotrajno liječenje, a neki više puta, sve dok je njihova bolest bila u fazi liječenja te su po završetku liječenja mogli biti sposobni ili trajno nesposobni, ovisno o ishodu liječenja. Trajno nesposobni radnici proglašeni su nakon što je liječenje završeno te zdravstveno stanje radnika nije ispunjavalo uvjete zdravstvene sposobnosti radnog mjesta a u nekim slučajevima i zbog dobi. Bolesti koje su najčešće bile razlog onesposobljavanja bile su širokog spektra, a najčešće se radilo o kardiovaskularnim bolestima, psihičkim, poremećajima, nereguliranim endokrinim poremećajima, bolnim sindromima, neurološkim poremećajima, bolestima oka i bolestima uha. Uzimajući u obzir psihičku i fizičku zahtjevnost željezničkog posla, važno je pravovremeno utvrditi bolesti i stanja željezničara, ograničavajućih za obavljanje posla na siguran način za njih same, ali i za okolinu. Za istaknuti je i važnost prethodnih pregleda koji bi odmah trebali eliminirati neadekvatne radnike u smislu zdravstvene sposobnosti, a naknadno i periodičnih, kontrolnih i izvanrednih pregleda, kojima se prate eventualne promjene u zdravstvenom statusu te na taj način smanjuje mogućnost incidenata, ozljeda na radu i profesionalnih bolesti.
Ambros Rieder (1771‒1855) and the Art of Preluding
Authors: Lewandowski Stephan
Published: December 2022

Ambros (or Ambrosius) Mathias Rieder (1771‒1855) is perhaps one of the most underrepresented personalities of the music centre Vienna in the late 18th and first half of the 19th century in contemporary musicological and music-theoretical discourse. Both his achievements as a composer and in the field of music theory are remarkable. In particular, Rieder is to be valued and appreciated as a preserver of the tradition of prelude playing, which became increasingly less important in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In the course of his life, he not only wrote several theoretical-practical textbooks dealing with this tradition, but with his own compositions he also provided excellent examples for the implementation of the rules presented in his theory books. With his “fugal preludes”, Rieder furthermore made a weighty contribution to the development of the genre.

With the help of the music theory presented in Riederʼs Anleitung zum Präludiren auf der Orgel oder dem Piano-Forte, Op. 84, Vienna, undated [1826], this text examines the Präludien und Fughetten für die Orgel oder das Pianoforte, Op. 82, Vienna 1826 with regard to harmony, counterpoint and form-determining modulation processes. An almost striking, rarely found interlocking of theory and compositional practice is revealed. Further and more comprehensive studies on this topic are desirable.
Luciano Berioʼs “Folk Songs”: Reconstruction of the Idea in the Context of Creativity
Authors: Garmel Oksana
Published: December 2022

Relevance of the study. Luciano Berio’s vocal cycle «Folk Songs» for mezzo-soprano and seven instrumentalists (1964) was considered for the first time in Ukrainian musicology. The relevance of the research is determined by the imbalance between the high degree of performance demand of the work in the modern cultural space and the insignificant activity of its musicological study.
The purpose of the study. The purpose of the article is to reconstruct the creative idea of the vocal cycle «Folk Songs» by Luciano Berio in the context of the composer's searches, their mutual influences and interaction.
Methods. The article uses historical, cultural and biographical methods (to study the stages of the formation of the idea of the work in the context of the composer’s creative biography), source studies (to find the sources of multinational folk songs that became the basis of the vocal cycle), methods of comparison and analogy (to propose a hypothesis about the origins of the creative idea of «Folk Songs») and the method of theoretical generalization.
The results and conclusions. The biographical context and stages of creation of Luciano Berio’s «Folk Songs» are studied in detail, the sources of folk songs from five countries of the world (USA, France, Italy, Armenia, Azerbaijan) used by composer in the vocal cycle are determined. The main features of the formation of the unity of the cycle are considered: the general logic of the construction, the content of the texts, the composition of the instrumental ensemble, metro-rhythmic features. A hypothesis is proposed about the combined influence of the performing skills of Cathy Berberian and the linguistic and stylistic features of John Cage’s «Aria» (1958) on the formation of the idea of Luciano Berio’s «Folk Songs». The manifestation in the vocal cycle of Luciano Berio’s interest in the linguistic (phonological) aspect of creativity, which became active in his work from the 1950s, is emphasized. Based on the results of the research, it is proposed to perceive and realize «Folk Songs» as a link of two «lines» of Luciano Berio’s creative interests, manifested in his work — interest in multinational folklore and phonological features of different languages. Vocal cycles created in the 21st century based on the model of Luciano Berio’s «Folk Songs»: «Ayre» by Osvaldo Golijov, «Worksongs» by Samuel Blaser and «Chanzuns Popularas Romanchas» by Oscar Strasnoy were identified. These works indicate possible prospects for the continuation of the research topic.

Due to increase of various operative interventions in the facial region of a mature person, it is expedient to study in detail the spatial position of the foramens of the facial part of the skull. Knowing the exact position of the foramens will help doctors during operations and minimally invasive interventions to prevent damage to the vascular and nerve bundles that pass through these foramens. The purpose of our work is to determine the craniometric characteristics and spatial position of the supraorbital (SF), infraorbital (IF) and mental (MF) foramen, depending on the type of structure of the facial part of the skull. The study was performed on 52 bone specimens of skulls and 60 CT images of adults without damage to the bone structures of the front part of the skull. Statistical methods were used to analyze the obtained measurement results in our research, which was carried out with the help of the Microsoft Excel 2010© licensed program package and with the help of the "STATISTYCA" program. When determining the position of the foramens of the facial part of the skull, first of all, we determined the individual anatomical variability of the facial part of the skull, which has the following extreme types: europrosopics (broad-faced), mesoprosopics (medium-faced), leptoprosopics (long-faced). By dividing the skulls according to the facial index, we determined the width and height of SF, IF and MF, and it was found that their diameter does not depend on the extreme types of the facial part of the skull. With the help of corresponding program, the average, lateral and line between the zy-zy points were constructed on the CT images of the 3-D models of the skulls to determine the position of SF, IF, MF relative to these lines depending on the facial index. The average values obtained were analyzed and it was established that the distance from SF, IF and MF to the median and lateral lines has larger values in europrosopics, intermediate values have mesoprosopics, the smallest results were determined in leptoprosopics. The results of the study of the distances from the above-mentioned foramens to the zy-zy line indicate an increase in their values in leptoprosopics, as opposed to europrosopics. The data we obtained confirm the dependence of the spatial position of the foramens on the type of structure of the facial part of the skull. The obtained data will supplement the craniotopographical characteristics of SF, IF and MF, and also provide a basis for further research of their position depending on the facial index.
A luta pela terra em Sergipe

Published: December 2022

Para milhares de camponeses brasileiros, a luta por terra representa uma jornada de sobrevivência e reprodução familiar, uma vez que essa luta se estende na busca de condições favoráveis à reprodução simples ou expandida da família. Foram utilizados dados do Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária, de Sergipe (INCRA-SE). Contrastamos informações encontradas em 2009 com a realidade apresentada em 2018. Os resultados mostram que o Programa Nacional de Reforma Agrária (PNRA) precisa atuar em dois níveis igualmente importantes e complexos: tomar medidas para garantir o acesso à terra a milhares de trabalhadores rurais, assim como as condições necessárias para que essas famílias retomem suas vidas nos assentamentos. Os dados mostram que o número de famílias que ainda não tiveram acesso à terra (acampadas ao redor do latifúndio e nas margens de rodovias, ou marginalizadas nas cidades) é maior do que o número daqueles que atingiram a condição de assentados.
