A Deal over Dirt
Authors: Lange Sophie
Published: January 2020

From a German-German Bargain to the Creation of an Environmental Problem in the 1980s In the 1970s, West Berlin started to transport its waste to East-German dumpsites. By the 1980s, Hamburg and other West German municipalities had followed suit, depositing their waste in Schönberg landfill, a waste disposal site situated in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) barely five kilometers from the German-German border. What began as an inner-German agreement with benefits for both sides soon developed into an environmental problem for the West German government. This article focuses on the strategies with which the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) tried to assuage critical voters and cope with a dumping ground at its border. It is argued that because of the demands for political action by the people living close to the dump the ‘greening’ of politics, which means the inclusion of environmental concerns on the political agenda, produced ambiguous results.

Authors: Morales Duarte Karla Elizabeth , Leal Ricardo Alberto
Published: January 2020

El carcinoma basocelular es una de las neoplasias más comunes en seres humanos y es el más frecuente dentro del grupo de carcinomas cutáneos no melanoma. Se origina en células basales de la epidermis y folículos pilosos. Suele ser de lento crecimiento y poco agresivo y genera metástasis en la mayoría de los casos. El carcinoma basocelular tiene diferentes tipos, el nodular, ulcerativo, esclerodermiforme, pigmentado y el superficial. El tipo pigmentado posee la peculiaridad de ser confundido con otras patologías, como por ejemplo, con una queratosis seborreica, un melanoma maligno o un nevo azul, por lo que siempre es necesario investigar ante la sospecha clínica.

Authors: Lidón Antonio , Ginestar Damián , Carlos Sofía , Sánchez de Oleo Carlos , Jaramillo Claudia , Ramos Carlos
Published: January 2020

Aim of study: The development of a procedure to calibrate the LEACHM and EU-Rotate_N models for simulating water and nitrogen dynamics in cauliflower crops.Area of study: Calibration was performed using experimental data obtained from measurements in a cauliflower crop sited in Valencia (Spain) region.Material and methods: A procedure based on generalized sensitivity indices for time-dependent outputs was used to determine the most influencing model parameters, in order to reduce the number of parameters to be calibrated and to avoid overparameterization. The most influencing parameters were introduced in an optimization process that uses the experimental measurements of soil water and nitrate content to determine its optimal value and obtain calibrated models.Main results: After this analysis, the most important hydraulic parameters found were the coefficients of Campbell’s equation for the LEACHM model and the soil water content at field capacity and drainage coefficient for the EU-Rotate_N model. For the N cycle, the most influencing parameters were those related with the nitrification, humus mineralization rate and residue decomposition for both models. Both calibrated models provided good simulation of soil water content with an error between 5-7%. However, larger errors in soil-nitrate content simulation were found, mainly in the period corresponding to the crop residues incorporation. The prediction of the calibrated models in a different plot gave error values of about 7-9% for soil water content, but for soil nitrate content errors computed were 34% and 58%.Research highlights: After calibration, both models can be used to optimize the farmer water management and fertilization practices in horticultural crops, although in the N case further studies should be performed.

Published: January 2020

Objective: We intended to report our institutional experience with ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients with structural heart disease.

Patients and Methods: A total of 36 consecutive patients (31 male, age: 62.8 ± 13.2 years) who had undergone VT ablation in our institution between 01.01.2017 and 01.05.2019 were included in the analysis.

Results: A total of 27 patients with the diagnosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy and 9 patients with the diagnosis of nonischemic cardiomyopathy had undergone VT ablation. VT ablation was successful in 32 (88.9%) patients. There were no major procedural complications; however, one patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy died 48 hours after the procedure because of post-ablation cardiogenic shock. Another patient with unsuccessful VT ablation died during hospitalization due to electrical storm. Endocardial ablation was performed in 23 (63.9%) patients and epicardial or combined endocardial and epicardial ablation was performed in 13 (36.1%) patients. Substrate ablation was the dominant strategy in 29 (80.6%) patients whereas activation mapping and isthmus ablation was performed in 7 (19.4%) patients.

Conclusion: Our experience confirms the effectiveness and safety of VT ablation in patients with structural heart disease who are resistant to medical therapy and/or who receive recurrent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks.

Published: January 2020

Objective: Sepsis-induced immune alterations are associated with secondary infections and increased risk of death. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been described as a novel therapeutic strategy. We evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of human dental follicle (DF-MSCs) on lymphocytes of sepsis and septic shock patients.
Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from venous blood samples of sepsis, septic shock and healthy subjects. PBMCs were co-cultured in the presence and absence of DF-MSCs with or without interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) for 72 hours. CD4+CD25+FoxP3+regulatory T (Treg) cell frequency, lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine levels and apoptosis were evaluated via flow cytometry.
Results: DF-MSCs significantly suppressed proliferation of lymphocytes in sepsis group compared to septic shock group (p<0.005). DF-MSCs remarkably increased Treg ratio in sepsis compared to control group (p<0.05). Reduction of lymphocyte apoptosis in cocultures of DF-MSCs and PBMC was significant in both sepsis and septic shock groups. IFN-γ stimulation of DF-MSCs ameliorated shift in the T-cell subsets from Th2 to Th1 phenotype in septic shock.
Conclusion: Our findings revealed that DF-MSCs have immunoregulatory effects both in sepsis and septic shock, by reducing interleukin-4 (IL-4) and increasing IFN-γ levels. This immunoreactivity regulation may open new therapeutic approaches for septic shock patients.

Yemen War: An Overview of the Armed Conflict and Role of Belligerents
Authors: Dosari Abdullah Al , George Mary
Published: January 2020

Since 2004, Yemen is facing a rebellious movement by a Shiite militant group called the Houthis1. The Houthis established a parallel rule in northern part of the country and occupied the capital Sana'a. Due to involvement of regional powers including Iran, UAE and Saudi Arabi the nature of conflict became both sectarian and separatist. Following the Arab uprising in 2011, the roots of recent conflict lies in the failure of political transition between the former President Ali Abdullah Saleh and his opposition. The geopolitical situation and support of Iran for the Houthis made the station in Yemen more complex. Therefore, the Gulf countries particularly Saudi Arabia was concerned because of the strategic and political situation of its fragile neighbor. This paper provides an insight to the conflict in various aspects including the role of conflicting parties, role of proxies, role of world powers and regional actors to analyze the conflict in a detailed manner. At the end study also discusses the most recent political and strategic developments having implication on the region.

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS OF POLISH MILITARY CONTINGENTS IN PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS AND STABILIZATION MISSIONS
Authors: MARCZYK Maciej
Published: January 2020

Polish soldiers have long participated in international operations under the auspices of various organizations, primarily the UN. However, since Poland’s accession to NATO and the adoption of our country to European Union, the activities of our military contingents have focused primarily on participation in international operations, organized by the two organizations and under the terms of their procedures. Poland, as part of joint and several actions to ensure common security, has actively been engaged in military operations and non-military missions of various international organizations, as well as local actions in the ad hoc coalition created. The degree of involvement and geographical areas are determined by the current capabilities of the armed forces and the clearly defined objectives coincide with the Polish raison d'etat, as defined in the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Polish and expressed in their efforts to strengthen Poland’s international position. This paper presents the results of research on the functioning of NEC communication network (the Polish military contingent) in military operations abroad. The research was carried out among the soldiers-specialists who were involved in international operations and it focused on the organizational requirements: the technical specifications for the NEC communication networks. Also, the research concerned the organization and operation of communication networks and its services as well as the means of communication and IT used by the staff, users, soldiers and NEC employees.
PACIFISM AS SOCIAL MOVEMENT– SOME HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Authors: DOJWA Katarzyna
Published: January 2020

Although the origins of pacifism date back to the biblical times, it Is in the 19th century that this phenomenon intensified and first pacifist organizations were created. In Poland, the notion of pacifism is connected with the activity of the “Wolność i Pokój” (Freedom and Peace) social movement, which was active mainly in the 1980s. Above all, it questioned the legitimacy of compulsory military service, as well as the text of the oath sworn at that time. Later, these postulates found partial continuation in the “Objector” association, which conducted educational, informative and mutual aid activity. With time, other communities and organizations emerged to propagate peace and question militarism, and the pacifist movement postulates were included in the programmes and goals of other organizations and informal groups.

FUTURE CYBERSPACE WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON POLISH ARMED FORCES
Authors: CHOJNACKI Włodzimierz
Published: January 2020

In this article, an attempt is made to create new concepts, definitions as well as the levels and security pillars due to which it is possible to better explain the importance of threats resulting from cyberterrorism in various dimensions. The groundwork for my considerations is to include the quantitative and qualitative results from the comparative studies conducted both in the sphere of cyber war theory and its implementation. Moreover, the analysis of many special documents and professional literature is closely related to the advance of sophisticated information technology and its application in achieving political, economic and military purposes. The knowledge collected this way enabled the author to describe, explain and elaborate on the outline of changes in strategic concepts, legal acts as well as the procedures indispensable for pre-emptive actions connected with waging cyber war. In the opinion of the author, knowledge created this way will be mainly of future character. A hypothesis is proposed that a contemporary researcher should be a futurist possessing interdisciplinary knowledge and long-term experience on waging cyber war and thinking in the analytical and innovative way. A good example is a terrorist attack of 9/11, which dramatically enlarged our imagination and perception of the risk and threat even on the part of minor terrorist groups asymmetrically operating in the non-conventional way.
CHARACTERISTICS OF FUTURE WARS AND THEIR SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: POLCIKIEWICZ Zdzisław
Published: January 2020

The article presents the analyses and evaluations of the causes, sources, conditions and nature of future wars. They were based on the experience of the military action that took place at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. Moreover, contemporary views expressed by polemologs, political scientists and military experts were taken into account. The article identifies the principal types of future wars and their characteristics as regards involvement, scope, intensity, duration and other properties. In addition, it presents the expected consequences of war, among which special attention was paid not only to the disintegration of the structures and the destabilization of the economy and state economies, but also to social consequences, such as physical damage, poverty, epidemics, uncontrolled mass migration, the demoralization of society and political elites, and the deepening antagonisms of nationalistic attitudes or other hostile stereotypes. The article can be the basis for determining the desirable directions of security subjects, aimed at crisis prevention, often solved with such a policy tool as war.

Effects of Physical Activity on Income
Authors: Metelski Adam
Published: January 2020

A growing number of publications indicate that being physically active can aff ect various aspects of life, including
professional work. The aim of the article is to present the relationship between physical activity and
income levels. The research involved the use of the integrated Social Diagnosis database. Social Diagnosis
is a comprehensive survey of households and the conditions and quality of life of Polish people. The results
of the conducted study show that there is a signifi cant diff erence in the income of people who practice sport
and those who do not. This research is also unique because it examines how taking up and discontinuation
of practicing sport aff ects income. It can be concluded that undertaking of physical activity is connected with
a higher average income, and to the contrary, a discontinuation of physical activity is connected with lower income.

A pro-health lifestyle, recreation and sport, as well as social media are closely related. A lot of people want to look
good, eat well, be fi t and engage in physical activity. As a consequence, companies from the fi tness industry and
producers of dietary supplements employ social media specialists in marketing agencies. Information published
on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or YouTube reach up to thousands of people in a short time period. The Internet is
full of profi les of people who publish their relationship with trainings, show progress on the way to a dream fi gure,
talk about the fi ght against overweightness, diets rules, etc. The tools from the Instagram social network, as well as
the number of users and hashtags associated with physical activity, fi tness and promotion of a healthy lifestyle, are
vast. On Instagram, the most popular hashtags were #love, #instagood, #me, #happy, #girl, but the #fi tness hashtag
was 18th, the #sport 152nd, place for a total of about 92 million hashtags. The matter of physical activity is important
for many users of this social platform. If the user consciously makes use of the possibilities of digital technology and
treats the Internet as a tool to satisfy higher needs, then one can certainly talk about the positive aspects of technological
development and technology for the proper functioning of a pro-health lifestyle.

Published: January 2020

Artykuł „Świętość jest straszna”. Poszukiwanie transcendencji w „Mieście Heroda” Marii Kuncewiczowej dostarcza analizy powieści książki pisarki, w której opisała ona swoją podróż – i pielgrzymkę jednocześnie – do Ziemi Świętej, do której została zaproszona przez PEN Club w 1936 roku. Tekst ten odnosi się do wielu zagadnień. Pojawia się więc fascynacja podróżą do kraju z odmienną kulturą, którą Kuncewiczowa określiła jako barwną i interesującą; jest w nim także widoczna potrzeba doświadczenia transcendencji, odnosząca się do religijności pisarki. Autorka artykułu bada sacrum Jerozolimy i okolic związanych z wydarzeniami biblijnymi i potrzebę spotkania się z Bogiem. Pojawia się również pytanie, w jaki sposób przenikanie się trzech kultur wpływa na doświadczenie transcendencji Kuncewiczowej.

Richard Payne Knight: The Picturesque and Scientific Revolution
Authors: Oracz Marta
Published: January 2020

The aim of the present article is to show that Richard Payne Knight promotes the same style in aesthetics that was first described by William Gilpin in his theory of the picturesque, but that Knight also transforms the Gilpinian conception as he sets it in the context of the contemporary scientific thought. Gilpin enuerated characteristic features of the picturesque style, among which he mentions richness of colour and variegated chiaroscuro modeling. Variety of hues was also postulated by Knight. Knight referred to the Newtonian atomistic theory of colours and Newton’s molecular physiology of visual perception to account for man’s preference of the aforesaid assemblages of colours.

Published: January 2020

The purpose of this study was to assess in vitrocytotoxicity of natural rubber (NR) latex membranes stabilized with different concentrations of ammonia, as well as evaluate possible changes in oxidative stressparameters. To this end, CHO-k1 cells were exposed to NR membranes for 24 h. Cytotoxicity wasassessed by the MTT assay and the oxidative stress parameters were established by glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. The results show that the ammonia present in the NR latex membranes can deplete cell viability and enhance GSH consumption in the cells. NR latex membranes stabilized with 2.0% of ammonia were cytotoxic to the cell lineage used in this study. From these results, it is possible to infer that the use of ammonia to stabilize NR latex membranes with biomedical purposes has to bedone carefully, to avoid possible harmful effects to human health.
Die Regierungsform Russlands, der Ukraine und Weißrusslands – Superpräsidentialismus?
Authors: Trattner Michael
Published: January 2020

Along with the common scholarly classification of government systems as parliamentary systems, presidential systems, semi-presidential systems or their respective derivatives, often the terms of the so-called “super-presidentialism” or “super-presidential system” can be found in the literature. Until now, these terms have not been substantially clarified. This articles attempts to find at least approximate, initial answers to the question whether there is a further level of classification of government systems in addition to the traditional classification. For this purpose, this article analyses the particular competences of the presidents of the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Belarus from a constitutional, comparative viewpoint. The article aims to provide a demonstrative catalogue of competences that, in a particularly significant way, indicate a potential imbalance in the government system. Furthermore, the article sheds light on the question whether in the analyzed states there are tendencies of super-presidential systems, or whether such a system can actually even be confirmed in these states.

Authors: Nóbrega dos Santos Marco Aurélio Gonçalves , Freire Elisabete dos Santos , Bastos Flávia da Cunha , Mazzei Leandro Carlos
Published: January 2020

O presente estudo teve como objetivos caracterizar o perfil dos gestores municipais de esporte de cidades pertencentes a um consórcio intermunicipal no estado de São Paulo e conhecer seu olhar sobre os objetivos do esporte no município. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa, com a participação de 12 gestores de esporte pertencentes a União dos municípios da Média Sorocabana do Estado de São Paulo (UMMES). Foi possível verificar que o perfil dos gestores esportivos municipais se assemelha ao identificado em outros estudos realizados. Também se constata a existência de uma cultura que desconsidera as competências e habilidades necessárias para o gerenciamento esportivo inerente às organizações esportivas. Em suas entrevistas, os gestores declaram que o esporte em seus municípios tem como objetivos contribuir para a inclusão social, melhorar a saúde e a qualidade de vida dos praticantes, identificar novos talentos para o esporte e democratizar o acesso às práticas esportivas. Percebemos que parte dos objetivos propostos não podem ser atingidos apenas com a prática do esporte, mas que dependem da elaboração de uma política pública que integre diferentes secretarias municipais.

Nordic walking (NW) is a practical form of healthy exercise. Up to now, few studies have been conducted on the non-clinical population and few has analysed muscular response after NW training. This study aimed to assess mechanical and neuromuscular changes of deltoideusand triceps brachiifollowing short-term NW training. Twenty-four healthy and physically active females were randomly assigned to an NW group (NWG) (n =12) or control group (n =12). Training was carried out over a 6-week period (18 sessions) on a treadmill (4.5 km/h; 2% gradient). Mechanical and neuromuscular response wasmeasured before and after training. Tensiomyography was used to assess maximum radial displacement, time contraction, time delay, sustain time, and half-relaxation time ofdeltoideusand triceps brachii. Heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were used to control the training intensity.  Mixed-design factorial analysis of variance (mixed ANOVA) was used to detect changes in the mechanical and neuromuscular characteristics after a NW training. During NW training, HR (115.83 bpm), 36.7% of HR reserve and RPE (10.25) corresponding to light intensity were reported. After the training period, only a moderate increase (6.25%, p =0.02; η2=0.06) in delay time for the triceps brachiiwere reported. A short-term and low to moderate intensity training conducted with a specific NW technique was not sufficient to modify the tricepsbrachii anddeltoideus mechanical- neuromuscular response in healthy and young females.
Muscle Dysmorphia: Predictive and protective factors in adolescents
Authors: Orrit Graciela
Published: January 2020

The Muscle Dysmorphia (MD) is a subcategory of body dysmorphic disorder in which subjects develop a pathological concern for their musculature. The population at risk that suffers from, or can develop MD, prevails in terms of age of appearance in subjects between 16 to 35 years; and it is more frequent in men. This study aimed to determine which variables of the personality, gender identity and passion (harmonious or obsessive) allow to predict MD in adolescents through the Adonis Complex (AC) Scale. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 506 subjects between 16 and 21 years (M=18.20; SD=1.72). The higher correlation was between AC and Emotional Control in men, and impulse control in women. Then a binary logistic regression analysis was performed and model yielded R2=.176 (X2=47.95 (16) <.001) and classified correctly in 88.5% of cases. Results of the analysis showed that harmonious passion (β=-.028, p=.046) and emotional control (β=-.616, p=.002) are protective variables while obsessive passion (β =.065, p=.013) and scrupulosity (β =.344, p=.046) were risk factors. The results show the importance of performing interventions aimed at the prevention of DM, starting from the relevance of working emotional control and harmonious passion in this stage of life and training.

Published: January 2020

El objetivo del estudio fue comparar las dimensiones que componen los constructos de motivación en el deporte y necesidades psicológicas básicas de atletas de baloncesto que están en la fase de iniciación deportiva. En la primera fase del estudio, que fue cuantitativa, participaron 53 atletas que compitieron en los Juegos Escolares de Paraná (Brasil) – Fase Municipal. En la segunda fase del estudio, cualitativa, participaron de la investigación 12 atletas que integraron la primera fase del estudio, elegidos de forma aleatoria. Para la recolección de datos fueron utilizados: Escala de Motivación para el Deporte, Cuestionario de Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas en el Ejercicio, Cuestionario sociodemográfico y una entrevista semi estructurada. Los resultados demostraron que los atletas jóvenes tenían mayores escores en las dimensiones referentes a las motivaciones intrínsecas, así como, evidenciaron menor satisfacción frente a la dimensión autonomía del constructo de las necesidades psicológicas básicas. Sin embargo, no hubo diferencias en la motivación y las necesidades psicológicas básicas al compararlas con el tiempo de práctica de la modalidad deportiva. Además, se observó que la admiración por la modalidad deportiva, bien como, las relaciones construidas en los entrenamientos y con la familia a través del deporte son factores importantes para la inserción y mantenimiento del joven atleta en el deporte. 

The aim of the study was to compare the dimensions that integrate the constructs motivation in sport and basic psychological needs of athletes who are in the sport initiation phase at basketball. In the first phase of the study, which was quantitative, participated 53 athletes who took part in the Paraná Scholar Games (Brazil) – Municipal Phase. In the second phase of the study, qualitative, participated of the investigation 12 athletes who integrated the first phase of the study and were choose randomly. Data collection used: the Scale of Motivation for Sport, the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Questionnaire, a Socio demographic questionnaire and a semi structure interview. The results showed that young athletes have higher scores in the intrinsic motivation dimension and lower satisfaction in the autonomy dimension of the basic psychological needs construct. However, there was not difference between the motivation and the psychological basic needs when compared with the time of practice in the sport modality. In addition, the study identified that the admiration for the sport modality, the relationships made in trainings and with the family by sport are important factors for the insertion and maintenance of the young athlete in the sport.

Introdução: A pratica de Yóga é reconhecida por seus diversos benefícios, contudo considerando  pratica como estratégia de gerenciamento do estresse gerados pelas cargas de treino em atletas não esta claro na literatura. Objetivo: avaliar os efeitos de uma sessão de pratica de Hatha Yóga (HY) nos sintomas de stress e no estado de humor de corredores. Metodologia: Após uma semana de altas cargas de treinamento (volume de 45,0 ± 15,0 km percorridos na semana) vinte corredores amadores com idade ≥18 anos participaram voluntariamente de uma sessão de HY sendo composta de 10 minutos de exercícios de controle da respiração, 15 minutos de exercícios de aquecimento, 50 minutos de posturas de yoga e 10 minutos de relaxamento. Antes (An) e apos (Ap) a prática todos os corredores responderam os o inventário de sintomas de stress e questionário de humor (POMS). Resultado: 67% dos indivíduos foram classificados em fase de resistência e 33% em fase de pré-exaustão, após a prática de HY todos os indivíduos não apresentaram sintomas de stress. Em relação aos parâmetros do estado de humor diferenças significativas (p<0,01) foram encontradas na tensão (An: 12±2, Ap: 5±2), depressão (An: 10±2, Ap: 2±2), raiva (An: 13±2, Ap: 3±2), fadiga (An: 15±2, Ap: 7±2), confusão mental (An: 12±2, Ap: 5±2) e vigor (An: 12±3, Ap: 20±3) após a pratica de HY. Conclusão: nossos dados indicam que a pratica de HY pode contribuir para minimizar o estresse e as alterações negativas nos estados de humor decorrentes de uma semana intensificada de treinamento.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar el clima motivacional percibido a través de las relaciones existentes entre el estilo de interacción del entrenador (apoyo a la autonomía o estilo controlador) con los constructos de la Teoría de las Metas de Logro (ego o tarea) y el grado de satisfacción con las necesidades psicológicas básicas en una muestra de jóvenes deportistas. Participaron 125 futbolistas de la provincia de Málaga (España), con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y 18 años (M= 16.66, DT= 1.13). Para recoger la información se utilizó la Escala de Estilo Controlador del Entrenador (CCBS), el Cuestionario de Percepción de Soporte de la Autonomía en el Proceso de Entrenamiento (ASCQ), el Cuestionario de Clima Motivacional Percibido en el Deporte (PMCSQ-2) y Escala de Medición de la Satisfacción de las Necesidades Psicológicas en el Ejercicio (PNSE). Los análisis efectuados pusieron de manifiesto relaciones negativas entre la satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas básicas y el estilo controlador, pero positivas con el apoyo a la autonomía. Además, destaca las relaciones positivas entre el estilo controlador y la percepción del clima motivacional orientado al ego, siendo positivas con el clima orientado a la tarea.
A Synthesis of Animation and Jazz in Begone Dull Care
Authors: Pinson Heather
Published: January 2020

In 1949 filmmakers Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart created the seven-minute, forty-eight-second, animated shortBegone Dull Care, filled with abstract images moving in time to the music of the Oscar Peterson Trio. In this three-movement film, McLaren and Lambart use the improvisatory nature of jazz to establish a narrative, allowing the animated shapes to respond and react to the music itself. This article addresses the collaboration between artists and musicians to create such an influential piece and examines the interdisciplinary relationship between music and animation inBegone Dull Care.
Ruth Crawford’s String Quartet, Mvt. 3: An Analysis of Dynamic Counterpoint, Contour Similarity, and Musical Form
Authors: Wu Yi-Cheng Daniel
Published: January 2020

In the third movement of her String Quartet, locally Ruth Crawford crafts a unique dynamic contrapuntal fabric, where each instrument plays a different alternation of crescendo and diminuendo, thus the same dynamics never synchronize. Globally, this dynamic contrapuntal texture projects an extensively long gradual sound expansion fromppptofff.In addition, Crawford stresses two temporary dynamicsfandfff,subtly dividing the form into three parts. To support Crawford’s subtle formal division, I translate Crawford’s dynamic counterpoint into a chronological sequence of verticalized contours and measure their similarity. I find the essential changes in contour similarity always coincide with the structural boundary, sharpening the formal division in Crawford’s schematic design.
