ПАРАМЕТРИЗМ У МУЗИЦІ ТА АРХІТЕКТУРІ: МОЖЛИВІСТЬ ПАРАЛЕЛІЗМУ (на прикладі творчості Кайї Сааріахо та Захі Хадід) (із циклу статей «Теорія нового звуку»)
Authors: Hontova Larisa
Published: March 2024

Метою статті є розгляд процесу параметризації в музиці та архітектурі. Параметризм як певна концепція праці з матеріалом мистецтва, зокрема архітектури та музики, розкриває контрольованість над глибинними процесами художньої структури. Водночас це дозволяє вивільнити параметри функціонування структури, яка гнучко реагує на різні ситуації власного виконання (в музиці), явища оточуючого середовища (в архітектурі). Методологія статті спирається на звуковисотний аналіз в умовах відсутності її ладотональних ознак (за Ж.К. Ріссе), аналіз «чистоти звуку (гладкість або зернистість фактурі (за К. Сааріахо), композиційний аналіз типів руху, біоморфний аналіз дієвості параметру тембру та гармонії (стабільність – мобільність). Новизна статті. У пропонованій науковій публікації вперше в українському музикознавстві зроблено порівняльний аналіз параметризму в музиці та архітектурі. Висновки. Параметризм у трактуванні Захі Хадід спирається на пластичне відображення енергетики території, витончену образну асоціативність та багаторівневі мистецькі алюзії. Параметр світла у її трактуванні пов’язує будівлю та сприйняття людини, виявляє форму твору. Аналогічні якості притаманні й творам електроакустичної музики Кайї Сааріахо, які базуються на параметричному підході до композиції, тембру та звуку: завдяки контролю над параметрами динаміки, структури звуку із точки зору різних типів спектру гармонік, тембр виступає певним «променем світла», який допомагає змістово сприйняти цю внутрішню структуру, її мінливість саме у певній темброво-фактурній ситуації та виконавському виборі. Висунуто припущення, що параметризм відкриває нові шляхи для співвідношення у сучасному мистецтві вільного та заданого, прекомпозиційного та композиційного, структурного та функціонального.

Published: March 2024

Метою статті є застосування семіотичного підходу як методу жанрово-стильового аналізу кантатно-ораторіального жанру, визначення можливості знаходження значенєвої одиниці музичного жанру і функціонування семантичних одиниць у кантатно-ораторіальній жанровій системі. Методологія дослідження спрямована на аналіз, виділення і осмислення структури й функціонування кантатно-ораторіального жанру як інформаційно-семіотичного об’єкту. У межах статті застосовано аналіз, синтез, абстрагування, узагальнення, індукцію, дедукцію, джерелознавчий, системний, функціональний методи. Наукова новизна обумовлена першою спробою системного семіотичного аналізу кантатно-ораторіального жанру в культурологічному контексті. Висновки. Новий погляд, на кантатно-ораторіальний жанр з позицій семіотики і герменевтики надає можливість трактувати його як культурний текст, як засіб розуміння культури. Як комунікативну систему його можна вважати найбільш демократичним у порівнянні з іншими музичними жанрами з огляду на більш широку слухацьку аудиторію. У статті кантатно-ораторіальний жанр аналізуємо як знакову багаторівневу систему з якостями мобільності, довжини в часі, яка в певному сенсі є унікальною і разом із тим багатозначною. Це дає можливість розглядати кантатно-ораторіальний жанр і жанрову систему в цілому як багаторівневу знакову систему, що є частиною мегасистеми культури та вийти на проблему розуміння жанру як культурного тексту. Звернення до кантатно-ораторіального жанру як до тексту викликано не тільки науковою новизною й універсальністю даної категорії, але і тим, що дана проблематика відповідає реаліям розвинутих інформаційних технологій сучасної епохи. Це у свою чергу дозволяє усвідомити широкий культурологічний контекст побутування і функціонування кантатно-ораторіального жанру.
СУЧАСНА БАЯННА ТВОРЧІСТЬ: ПОГЛЯД НА ТРАДИЦІЇ І НОВАТОРСТВО
Authors: Kislyak Bohdan
Published: March 2024

Мета статті полягає в комплексному аналізі сучасного стану та розвитку баянної творчості, з фокусом на взаємодію традиційних елементів та новаторських підходів. Дослідження має на меті виявити вплив сучасних технологій, музичних напрямків і творчих вподобань на виконавську практику та композиторську діяльність у галузі баянної музики, а також спрямована на підкреслення важливості збереження та вдосконалення традицій у контексті сучасного музичного мистецтва й підтримки творчого потенціалу сучасних баянних виконавців. Методологія наукової роботи базується на комплексному аналізі сучасного стану та розвитку баянної музики. Основним методом є аналіз, що включає в себе систематизацію та критичний огляд наукових публікацій, аналіз музичних творів і творчості сучасних баянних виконавців. Наукова новизна полягає у вдосконаленні та глибшому розумінні еволюції баянної творчості. Робота проникає в особливості сучасного баянного виконавства, розкриваючи вплив інноваційних та експериментальних підходів на традиційний музичний контекст. Висновки. Незважаючи на різноманіття сучасної баянної музики, інноваційне тяжіння українських композиторів все ж порушило баланс між традиціями і новаторством, на користь очевидного розширення концепції інновацій та абсолютизації ідеї нескінченного розвитку-оновлення. У контексті нинішнього панування музичного модерну, позначеного «технологічною стихією» нашої епохи, інноваційність баянної творчості стає не лише аргументом на користь її консолідації із сучасним мистецтвом, а й стимулом до пошуку нових імпульсів задля подальшої актуалізації. Наскільки ж симптоматика інноваційного позитивізму баянної творчості виявиться органічною як унікальний шар сучасної музики, покаже час, протягом якого повинна дозріти власна, історично визнана, своєрідна баянна традиція.
РЕКВІЄМ Ю. ЕЛЬСНЕРА – ТРАДИЦІЇ АБО НОВАТОРСТВО?
Authors: Shchitova Svitlana , Lysenko Hanna
Published: March 2024

Мета статті – вияв збереження закладених канонів жанру музичного реквієму та їх оновлення в духовних творах польського композитора Юзефа Ельснера (1769 – 1854). Для втілення поставленої мети застосовуються наступні методи дослідження: історичний – при розгляді польської хорової музики доби романтизму; компаративний – при порівнянні традиційної моделі реквієму з Реквіємом Ю. Ельснера; аналітичний – при зверненні до хорових творів Ю. Ельснера, зокрема духовних жанрів; метод узагальнення отриманих результатів. Наукова новизна запропонованої статті зумовлюється відсутністю сучасних наукових досліджень духовної хорової творчості одного з засновників польської національної композиторської школи – Юзефа Ельснера. Висновки. У результаті розгляду Реквієму с-moll Юзефа Ельснера, як зразка поєднання канонічних традицій з композиторським стилістичним новаторством, були отримані певні результати. З одного боку – композитор використовує повний богослужбовий латинський текст, заперечує різкі контрасти, дотримується встановленої структури музичного реквієму, спирається на старовинну традицію обрання складу хору, не додає до меси солістів, зберігає усталені форми частин у нерозривному зв’язку із текстом. З іншого боку – Ельснер обирає незвичний парний склад оркестру, з відсутністю високих дерев’яних духових інструментів, додає литаври, що підсилює симфонічну напругу, вводить наскрізну ритмоформулу у solo труби, яка виконує сигнальну функцію, поєднує традиційні та старовинні форми заупокійної меси, тим самим синтезує церковне й світське. Відтак, Ю. Ельснер звертається до канонічної структурної традиції написання реквієму, але надає їй нового змісту, драматичного насичення.
СИНТЕЗ НЕОБАРОЧНИХ РИС І АВТЕНТИЧНОГО ПІДҐРУНТЯ В «УКРАЇНСЬКИХ СЮЇТАХ» М. ЛИСЕНКА ТА В. БАРВІНСЬКОГО
Authors: Shchitova Svitlana , Kutalo Elizaveta
Published: March 2024

Метою статті є вияв ознак необарочних тенденцій в циклічних творах ХХ ст. для фортепіано на прикладі «Української сюїти у формі старовинних танців» М. Лисенка та «Сюїти на українські народні теми» В. Барвінського. Методологія дослідження полягає у зверненні до наступних методів: історичного – для вияву генезису  неокласицизму як одного із напрямів ХХ ст.; аналітичного – при розгляді українських сюїтних творів, що вміщують в собі неокласичні риси; компаративного методу – при порівняльній характеристиці сюїт М. Лисенка та В. Барвінського, а також при розгляданні автентичного матеріалу та його композиторського перетворення. Наукова новизна статті обумовлена зверненням до двох ідентичних зразків фортепіанних сюїт із зародженням у них прикмет неокласичного /необарочного напряму в українській музиці. Обидва ранні необарочні твори стають показовими для розуміння органічності поєднання певних ознак неокласицизму з національно-пісенним, автентичним тематичним базисом, і визначають в тривалій перспективі творчу парадигму багатьох наступних композиторських досягнень. Висновки. Відштовхуючись від найтиповіших жанрів епохи бароко, наш інтерес сфокусувався на жанрі сюїти в її оновленому вигляді. Звернувшись до двох фортепіанних сюїт необарочного напряму в українській музиці – М. Лисенка і В. Барвінського, ми простежили їх принципово аналогічний підхід до використання народно-пісенного матеріалу. В обох творах тісно переплелися характерні риси композиційних принципів сюїт: контрастне зіставлення номерів, наявність обов'язкових і вставних танців, встановлення опорних точок циклу та пісенна фольклорна основа.

Authors: Aypar Akbağ Nuran Nur , Aluş Tokat Merlinda , Özöztürk Sevcan , Uğur Günseli
Published: March 2024

Objectives Fetal health locus of control has been indicated to effect how mothers approach their health beliefs and health-related decisions. The purpose of this study was to determine the fetal health locus of control (FHLC) level in high-risk pregnancies and to evaluate the factors affecting FHLC in high-risk pregnancies.
Materials and methods The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with highrisk pregnant women. A total of 221 participants were included.
Results and Discussion It was shown that The Internality Locus of Control was low and The Chance-Based Locus of Control was high in high-risk pregnant women. The current age of women and the age of their first pregnancy had a positively relationship with Powerful Others Locus of Control (FHLC-P). Although FHLC scores of multigravidas were higher than primiparous, no significant difference was found. Besides, there was a significantly higher FHLC-C score in women who did not change their exercise habits during pregnancy (p=0.008). Although the FHLC-I score was higher in women, who made changes in nutrition habits, it was determined that it was not significant.
Conclusion The results of fetal health locus of control in high-risk pregnancies will lead to women who have high-risk pregnancies taking responsibility for adapting to the treatment process, taking into account the controls and making lifestyle changes, rather than leaving the situation to fate.

Published: March 2024

Introduction  Obesity has became a significant health concern over the past decade. According to a higher body mass index (BMI), obesity enhances the probability of malignancy, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiac disorders, and musculoskeletal diseases. Bariatric surgery, a typical and effective surgical intervention for patients with excess body weight with concurrent medical conditions, achieves significant weight loss over a long period. Numerous studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of various bariatric surgery techniques for improving glycemic homeostasis and helping patients lose weight. However, little is known about how bariatric surgery affects the lipid profile. The study aims to determine how patients’ altered BMI affects lipid parameters following OAGB/MGB surgery.

Methods  To achieve this, the longitudinal observational study was conducted from January 2021 to January 2022 among 150 patients scheduled to undergo Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Surgery. The mean age of the patients was 41.7 years, with a standard deviation of 14.7 years (mean±SD: 41.7±14.7). Among the study participants, 56 individuals (37.3%) were male, while 94 (62.7%) were female.

Objectives  Regarding comorbidities, hypertension was identified as the most prevalent condition among the enrolled patients, affecting 49.3% of them.

Results  It was observed that the levels of S. Cholesterol and S. Triglyceride showed a significant decrease after one month (Visit-1) of the bypass surgery, with a reduction of 21.8 mg/dl (95% CI=-31.9, -11.6, p=<0.001) and 14 mg/dl (95% CI=-25.5, -2.51, p=0.017), respectively

Conclusion  OAGB outcome is associated with a healthier lipid profile and enhanced weight management.

Published: March 2024

Background The most prevalent sexual differentiation disorder in males is undescended testis (UDT), which occurs when the testis is absent from the scrotum or cannot be brought down during a physical examination. Pregnancy outcome may be influenced by the wife’s lifestyle and surgical correction within the past year

Objectives This study aims to determine pregnancy outcome in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) on a wive with a UDT husband assessed by the wive’s life style and surgery correction before 1 year.

Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were taken from patients who underwent Assisted Reproductive Technology at AMC Hospital, Yogyakarta. Data collection from 2018 to 2021. Samples in the unilateral and bilateral groups were 20 husbands. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test helped carry out the analyses.

Results There was an association between infertility and UDT either unilaterally or bilaterally (p = 0.009). Most UDT husbands had a BMI in the overweight category and the average age was 28 and 29. Other factors such as the wive’s life style and surgery correction before 1 year , including smoking habit, alcohol consumption, addictive drug and hormonal drug, had no significant effect on the success of pregnancy outcome (p > 0.05).

Conclusions Although pregnancy outcome in unilateral and bilateral UDT patients was not statistically significant, clinically, the pregnancy outcome was better in husbands with unilateral UDT by IUI than in IVF.

Authors: Rahman Mohammed Mahfoozur , Ahmed Md Khaza , Sarwar Md Golam , Hasan Mehedi , Rahman SM Tauhidur
Published: March 2024

Background: Femoral shaft fractures are the most common major pediatric injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. Management of femoral diaphyseal fracture in the age group of 4-12 years is controversial. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of intramedullary fixation of femoral shaft fractures by using Titanium Elastic Nailing System (TENS). Methodology: Twenty-six (26) children in the range of 4-12 years with recent (<3 days) femoral shaft fracture (24 closed, 02 Grade-I compound) were stabilized with Titanium Elastic Nail (TEN), between January 2019 and June 2022 in Eastern Medical College Hospital, Cumilla and Cumilla Trauma Centre. The diameter of the individual nail was selected as per Flynn’s formula and the results were evaluated by Flynn’s criteria. All patients were followed radiologically as well as clinically until fractures healed and for any complications. Results: Among the twenty-six (26) cases 18 were boys and 8 were girls. Twenty-three (23) cases were managed by closed reduction while three (3) cases required open reduction. The time duration of surgery ranged 20-45 minutes. The hospital stay ranged between 5 to 8 days (mean 6.5 days). The mean duration of follow-up was 21 months (range: 3 - 39 months). All fractures were radiologically united at 8-12 weeks (mean 10 weeks) and full weight bearing was possible in a meantime of 9.5 weeks. According to Flynn’s criteria, excellent results were found in 24 (92.3%) cases and satisfactory in 2 (7.7%) cases. Limb lengthening was noticed in 6 cases and rotational mal alignment was seen in 1 case. Conclusion: Intramedullary fixation with Titanium Elastic Nail may be the preferred method for the treatment of femoral fractures in children aged 4-12 years. As it is a safe, minimally invasive, surgeon-friendly technique and shows very good functional and cosmetic results.

Published: March 2024

Introduction: Patients with type-2 diabetes have an increased prevalence of dyslipidemia, which contributes to their high risk of cardiovascular diseases. The mortality and morbidity are increased if there is poor glycemic control. Diabetic dyslipidemia is characterized by elevated TG levels, decreased HDL-C levels and increased levels of LDL-C. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum triglyceride and TG/HDL-cholesterol ratio in good and poor control type-2 diabetes mellitus. Methodology: The present study was carried out in departments of Biochemistry, Medicine and Endocrinology of Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh between the periods of July 2020 to June 2021. By convenient sampling, a total of 50 subjects aged between 30-59 years were enrolled in this study. Study subjects were divided into 2 groups. Group-A included subjects with good glycemic control (n=25) and group-B included subjects with poor glycemic control (n=25). Results: The mean HbA1c level was significantly higher in poor glycemic group than good glycemic group (10.9±12.02% vs. 5.98±0.95%). The mean TG was 173.16±36.9 mg/dl in good glycemic control group and 219.4±70.32 mg/dl in poor glycemic group. There was significant difference in TG/HDL-C ratio in 2 groups. Serum triglyceride and TG/HDL-C ratio had positive correlation with HbA1c but was not significant. Conclusion: Poor glycemic control is associated with dyslipidemia in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus.

On the Use of Inverse Exponentiation to Improve the Efficiency of Calibration Estimators in Stratified Double Sampling
Authors: Clement Etebong P , Enang Ekaette I
Published: March 2024

This study introduces the concept of inverse exponentiation in formulating calibration weights in stratified double sampling and proposes a more improved calibration estimator based on Koyuncu and Kadilar (2014) calibration estimator. The variance of the proposed logarithmic calibration estimator has been derived under large sample approximation. Calibration asymptotic optimum estimator  and its approximate variance estimator are derived for the proposed logarithmic calibration estimator. Results of empirical study showed that the proposed logarithmic calibration estimator  performs better than the Koyuncu and Kadilar (2014) calibration estimator  with appreciable gains in efficiency. Also, simulation study for the comparison of the proposed logarithmic estimator with a Global estimator [Generalized Regression (GREG) estimator ] proved the robustness of the proposed logarithmic calibration estimator and by extension the efficacy of inverse exponentiation in calibration weightings.  Analysis and evaluation are presented.

Ratio Type Estimator for Balanced Sampling Plan excluding Adjacent Units
Authors: Tiwari Neeraj , Banerjie Jharna , Chandra Girish , Bhari Shailja
Published: March 2024

The study variables are usually correlated with the auxiliary variables and therefore their correlation could easily be computed. In this paper, the correlation coefficient is used for the estimation procedure, and therefore, we proposed a Horvitz-Thompson ratio-type estimator using correlation coefficient for Balanced Sampling plan excluding Adjacent units (BSA plan). It has been illustrated theoretically and empirically that the proposed Horvitz-Thompson ratio-type estimator is more precise than the Horvitz-Thompson estimator based on BSA plan. The proposed estimator provides an opportunity to utilise the auxiliary information for the estimation of population mean for BSA plan and useful for many real-life experiments.

Indirect Questioning Technique Related to Sensitive Quantitative Variables with Options for Direct, Randomized and Item Count Responses
Authors: Shaw Purnima , Pal Sanghamitra
Published: March 2024

Randomized Response (RR) Technique (RRT) pioneered by Warner (1965) is a useful tool to elicit responses on sensitive characteristics, such as induced abortions, drug abuse, drunken driving, total amount of counterfeit notes of a particular denomination held by individuals in the population, etc. There exists a huge literature on Randomized Response (RR) devices for estimation of finite population mean of quantitative variables, sensitive in nature mostly based on Eichhorn and Hayre (1983). Device-I and Device-II vide Chaudhuri and Christofides (2013) allow estimation of population mean of sensitive quantitative variables using sample chosen by a general sampling design. On the other hand, Item Count Technique (ICT), described elaborately in Chaudhuri and Christofides (2013), is an alternative to RRT for respondents who do not choose to provide RRs. While some respondents may find a variable as sensitive, others may find it innocuous enough to provide a direct response (DR) about his/her true value. In such a case, Optional Randomized Response (ORR) Technique (ORRT) with options for DR and RR was introduced by Chaudhuri and Mukherjee (1985). Pal (2007) proposed an ORR device which offers choices for RR and ICT to the respondents for giving their answers. A new ORRT with options for DR, RR and ICT was provided by Shaw and Pal (2021) for eliciting indirect responses on sensitive characteristics. As this device relates to estimation of population proportion of sensitive characteristics, an attempt has been made to extend it for sensitive quantitative variables. Further, to take care of individuals’ varying choices for DR, RR and ICT and to protect the privacy of the respondents’ choices, this paper develops an ORR device allowing the respondents chosen by a general sampling design, to choose any one of the three options according to their choices.

Authors: Husnah Riska Saifatul , Arso Dimas Dwi , Sofyan Tito
Published: March 2024

Business actors in the tourism sector are competing to provide tourist attractions, ranging from tourist attractions that utilize nature and artificial tourism objects. One of the tourist attractions in Padang Jaya Village is the Village Embung Tourism Park. The basis for the implementation of tourism activities is regulated in Law Number 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism. In tourism activities, legal aspects sometimes tend to be ignored in the processing of the tourism business, especially in tourism business businesses which are mostly held conventionally. This study aims to find out and analyze the form of responsibility of the manager for the loss of visitors to the Embung Desa tourist park and the application of the manager's obligations based on Article 26 letter (d) of Law Number 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism. The research methods used in this study are empirical legal research and empirical or sociological legal approaches. The form of responsibility given by the manager is in the form of providing first aid and providing medical expenses to visitors who have suffered losses. Internal factors hinder the implementation of Article 26 letter (d) of Law Number 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism are because the managers and workers are not firm and disciplined in carrying out supervision. External factors that are hindering are due to the legal culture of the community and there are no detailed provisions regarding the limitations of the criteria for comfort, friendliness, protection of security and safety of visitors.

Published: March 2024

Background: To assess the diagnostic performance of a three-step algorithm using the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) Group ‘simple rules’, ‘simple descriptors’, and Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa (ADNEX) model for discriminating benign and malignant adnexal masses. Methods:  This was a retrospective observational study, performed at a tertiary-care university hospital, on women diagnosed with adnexal mass on ultrasonography from January 2021 and February 2022. The examiner first classified the mass using ‘simple descriptors’ (first step) and, if not possible, using ‘simple rules’ (second step). For inconclusive masses, an assessment using the ADNEX model was done as the third step. All masses were managed surgically. Histopathology results were used as the reference standard.Results: One hundred and forty-one women were included (median age of 48 years). Histopathology results showed 104 (73.76%) mass to be malignant, and 37 (26.24%) mass to be benign. Twelve (8.51%) of 141 masses could be classified using simple descriptors, 89 (63.12%) masses were classified using simple rules, and 40 (28.37%) masses were classified using the ADNEX model. Overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, and negative likelihood ratio of the three-step algorithm were 89.36%, 94.23%, 75.68%, 91.59%, 82.35%, 3.87, and 0.08 respectively.Conclusions: The IOTA three-step algorithm, based on the sequential use of simple descriptors, simple rules, and ADNEX model, performs well for classifying adnexal masses as benign or malignant
Wreaking Havoc on the System: An Examination of Nigeria’s Constitutional Reform, the National Industrial Court and the Employer’s Right to Unconditionally Terminate Employment
Authors: Adaralegbe Bayo
Published: March 2024

Following the recreation of the National Industrial Court (NIC) in 2010 through constitutional amendment (and constitutional provisions that allow this court to apply international best practice, international labour standards, international conventions, treaties and protocols in the resolution of labour and industrial disputes) the NIC has handed down decisions that sharply contradict well-established principles of law, including Supreme Court decisions in respect of the employer’s right to terminate an employment without reason. This article reviews the surrounding principles and argues that these NIC decisions are wrong. The article also questions the power donated to the NIC by the Legislature to apply international best practice, international labour standards, and international labour conventions that are not part of the sources of law in Nigeria. The article finds that these constitutional provisions are problematic and their application by the NIC is not justified in law. The article concludes that despite the constitutional reforms, the well-established legal principle allowing an employer to terminate with or without reason remains the law in Nigeria.

Cash flow information of company is useful for users of financial reports as a basis for assessing a company’s ability to meet the needs of liquidity or cash flow. Cash flow information also enables users of financial statements to develop models to assess and compare the present value of future cash flows from various companies in one sector. Some previous researches on the prediction of future cash flows and dividend showed different results. This research should be repeated to examine the ability of cash flow in predicting future cash flows and dividend. The purpose of this research is to find the empirical evidence of predictive models of future cash flows and dividend.

 The samples of this study are manufacturing companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The amount of the samples are 24 companies within the period of 2009-2011. The data was collected using purposive sampling method.

 The result of this study shows that a combination of earnings and accrual is able to predict future cash flows so the indirect method is more accurate in predicting future cash flows. However, a combination of cash inflows and cash outflows using direct method is more accurate in predicting future dividend.
