Published: January 2019

Purpose. Justification of hydraulic systems management methods of mining and metallurgical plants, taking into account indicators and comparative analysis and on the basis of pipelines rational parameters and slurry concentrates.. Methodology. Analysis of modern methods for assessing the efficiency of operation of hydraulic systems of enterprises in the mining and metallurgical industry allowed us to determine the promising directions for the use of various chemical reagents in order to reduce hydraulic resistance during transportation of hydraulic mixtures in mineral processing technologies. Findings. The rational parameters of the operation of hydraulic systems of mining and smelting plants, namely: the diameter of the pipeline and the concentration of the slurry for a given amount of transportation to ensure a minimum of reduced costs for the evaluation period and taking into account the usage of chemicals which were used to improve the efficiency of pipeline transport. Originality. Based on the analysis of methods for assessing the effectiveness of mineral processing technologies. It is determined that the most rational in the totality of technologies to improve the efficiency and reliability of the hydrotransport complex is the use of polyethylene pipes, as well as additives to the carrier fluid of hydrodynamically active substances. Practical value. It consists in the improvement of methods for calculating rational parameters and modes of operation of hydraulic systems, allowing to determine the value of the velocity and concentration of the slurry, providing a minimum of reduced costs for the estimated period. These methods are adapted for the case of using polyethylene pipes, taking into account additives to the carrier fluid of hydrodynamically active substances, taking into account the reduction of reduced costs due to diagnosing the technical condition of the equipment, as well as allowing to optimize maintenance costs.

Published: January 2019

The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiarrheal and analgesic activities of methanol extract of Diospyros malabarica (Desr.) Kostel buds growing in Bangladesh. The total phenolic content of methanol extract of D. malabarica and its Kupchan fractions was determined and expressed in gallic acid equivalent (GAE). In the DPPH free radical scavenging assay, the aqueous soluble fraction of the methanol extract of D. malabarica revealed maximum free radical scavenging activity having IC50 value of 6.17 μg/ml. In antimicrobial assay, all the test samples displayed prominent antimicrobial activity against the test organisms under in vitro conditions. Among these, the carbon tetrachloride soluble fraction was found to exhibit the highest activity against Bacillus cereus, Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi, and Candida albicans with the zone of inhibition as 32, 30, 28 and 30 mm, respectively. In evaluation of antidiarrheal activity, the D. malabarica extracts showed significant anti-diarrheal potential in a dose dependent manner. During the evaluation of analgesic activity by radiant heat tail-flick method, the plant extract at 400 mg/kg b.w. exhibited highest elongation (373.04%) as compared to morphine (472.48%). On the other hand, in acetic acid-induced writhing test, the extract at 200- and 400-mg/kg b.w. showed 61.11 and 66.67% inhibition of writhing in mice model, respectively as compared to 68.06% inhibition produced by the standard diclofenac-Na. The findings of this study justify some of the traditional uses of D. malabarica and reveal the bioactivity of the plants. Further studies are required to isolate and identify the bioactive compounds.

Combination Therapy of Momordica charantia Linn. (Bitter Melon) with Antihyperglycemic Agent Gives Increased Antioxidative and Hepatoprotective Actions in Alloxan-induced Diabetic Rats
Authors: Islam Monirul , Islam Md Saiful , Zannah Shaheda , Rashid Mamunur
Published: January 2019

Bitter melon, a popular vegetable of the Asian and African community, is used as an antidiabetic herb for the management of diabetes and its associated complications. The fastest growing metabolic disorder, diabetes mellitus (DM), is now a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. All the associated complications produced in diabetes are mainly caused by the imbalance between generation of free radicals and the antioxidant systems like catalase (CAT) and super oxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes. Again increased level of serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) are considered a consequence of hepatocyte damage due to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and patients with diabetes have an increased risk NAFLD and steatohepatitis. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects of fixed dose combination therapy of Momordica charantia crude methanolic extract with metformin on oxidative stress and liver dysfunction indices in alloxan-induced diabetic Swiss Albino rats. Various groups of alloxan-induced diabetic rats (AIDRs) were daily treated for four weeks with bitter melon extract (BME) [(300 mg/kg body weight (BW)], metformin [(15 mg/kg body weight (BW)] and their combination dose (150 mg/kg BW + 7.5 mg/kg BW), separately through oral gavage. In our study, we observed that combination therapy lowered SGPT & SGOT level by 34.58% and 47.89%, respectively and increased SOD & CAT enzyme activity by 74.94% and 43.36%, respectively in comparison with their diabetic control groups. The changes obtained from the combination therapy were significantly (p<0.05) better than those of metformin and BME therapy alone. These findings suggest that this fixed dose combination therapy is more potent than their individual monotherapy and diabetic patients with increased oxidative stress and liver complications may be benefited by using this treatment.

Published: January 2019

The present study was designed to evaluate the preliminary phytochemical profiles and pharmmacological activities of different extractives (methanol and chloroform) of the leaves and stems of Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. Preliminary phytochemical screenings demonstrated the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, gums and amides and reducing sugar in leaves and stems. Significant α-amylase inhibitory activities were found by the methanol (66.67%) and chloroform (70.63%) extracts of leaves of G. procumbens as compared to the standard drug acarbose (95.45%) at a concentration of 400 μg/ml. In the castor oil-induced diarrhea, the maximum inhibition of defecation was found by the chloroform fraction. During the anxiolytic activity test which was performed by open field and hole cross method, different extractives of leaves and stems of G. procumbens (500 mg/kg bw) reduced the total count of square crossed and hole crossed to a considerable extent in comparison to the control groups. In antipyretic assay, both extracts reduced the temperature to a significant extent in comparison to the standard group.

Published: January 2019

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the elderly people. Cholinergic dysfunction and oxidative stress have been found to be related with the development of the disease. Typhonium trilobatum L. Scott has been used traditionally in folk medicine as a central nervous system stimulant. In this study, we have investigated the various extracts of T. trilobatum for acetylcholinesterase and antioxidant activities in vitro. All the tested extracts exhibited inhibition against acetylcholinesterase. Petroleum ether extract exhibited the highest inhibition with an IC50 of 255.26 g/ml. Likewise all the extracts were found to possess antioxidant activity. In reducing power assay, petroleum ether extract showed the highest reducing power with an absorbance of 0.874 at 0.1 mg/ml concentration and in DPPH radical scavenging assay, chloroform extract exhibited the highest scavenging activity with an IC50 of 619.54 µg/ml. Phytochemical analyses of the four extracts revealed that the ethyl acetate extract contained the highest amount of flavonoids and petroleum ether had the highest amount of phenolics. These results suggest that T. trilobatum has both antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory activities, which may be useful in reducing the risk of AD.

Authors: Lestari Lilis , Ramadhaniyati Ramadhaniyati
Published: January 2019

Background: The decline in Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in developing countries still does not meet the target of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The rise of childbirth with the help of traditional birth attendants and cultural practices still becomes the choice of women of productive age to give birth today.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the Malay culture practice and childbirth with traditional birth attendants in women of productive age in West Borneo, Indonesia.
Methods: This was a phenomenological study conducted on in 2018 in one district in West Borneo. Focus Group Discussion (FDG) was done with eight Malay tribal women who had given birth with the help of Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs). Thematic analysis was used.
Results: Cultural practices during pregnancy, childbirth and the care of newborns, the services of TBAs, and the economy factor were strong reasons for mothers to choose to give birth assisted by TBAs although they were aware of the risks. This study identified five main themes, namely: 1) Reason for choosing TBAs, 2) TBAs’ service, 3) Cultural trust in pregnancy, 4) Cultural trust in labor, and 5) Cultural trust in caring for newborns.
Conclusion: Our findings revealed that culture and childbirth cannot be separated. Health practitioners should have different approach by involving culture and TBAs in childbirth among women of productive age in West Borneo Indonesia.
MIGRATION OF RADIONUCLIDES IN ARABLE LAND OF LITHUANIA
Authors: Lubyte Jadvyga , Antanaitis Antanas
Published: January 2019

The paper presents the investigation data on soil contamination by Cs and Sr during the period 1974–2000 in various climatic zones and geographical locations for various granulometric and mineralogic composition of the soil and also for different mineralogical rock composition. The data concerning the accumulation of these elements, their perpendicular distribution before and after the Chernobyl Atomic Power Plant (ChAPP) accident. Besides, the influence of long term fertilization by various NPK rates on the amounts of radionuclides in the soil is presented. It is determined that before the ChAPP accident an average activity of 137Cs and 90Sr was 6,8±1,8 Bq·kg−1 and 5,3±1,2 Bq·kg−1, respectively. The radioactivity of peat soils was 2–5 times larger than that of mineral soils. After the accident in the ChAPP the amount of 90Sr in control plots, in the layer of 0–20 cm has not changed. In some fields an average amount of 137Cs is 6,7–28,5 Bq·kg−1. Larger concentrations of radionuclides were detected in the southeastern, southern and western regions of Lithuania.

The amount of 137Cs in the upper soil layer in the western region of Lithuania was 1,1–1,2 times larger than in the layer of 5–20 cm, and 1,3–2,5 times larger than in the layer of 20–40 cm. Distinction is not so noticeable in the middle and eastern regions of Lithuania, correspondingly 1,1–1,2 and 1,2–1,6 times.

Migration of 90Sr and 137Cs from the soil to plants varies and depends on soil properties and types of plants. The coefficients of 137Cs and 90Sr movement from the soil to plants were 0,24–0,53 and 0,37–0,87, respectively. In most cases long term fertilization had no influence on 90Sr and 137Cs accumulation and migration in the soil.
TWO-PHASE MODELLING OF THERMAL DISSIPATION IN A NATURAL BASIN
Authors: Baltrenas Pranas , Vaitiekūnas Petras , Katinas Vladislovas , Markevičius Antanas
Published: January 2019

The state of two‐phase flow ‘liquid‐gas’ has been modeled numerically by the three‐dimensional method of complex research of heat and mass transfer. This allows examining the interaction of some transfer processes in a natural cooling basin (the Drūkšiai lake): the wind power and direction, variable water density, the coefficient of heat conduction and heat transfer of the water‐air interface. Combined effect of these natural actions determines the heat amount that the basin is able to dissipate to the surrounding atmospheric media in thermal equilibrium (without changes in the mean water temperature).

This paper presents a number of the most widely used expressions for the coefficients of vertical and horizontal heat transfer. On the basis of stream velocity and mean temperature profiles measured in the cooling pond as well as on that of their time variations suggestions are made that the mixing rate at the water surface is caused by natural space ‐ time variation of the wind, and can be described by the value of eddy viscosity coefficient ‐ 1 m2/s (numerical modeling with 0,9–1,3 m2/s). The wind influences the surface of the lake according to the experimental data, i e 1–3 % of the mean wind velocity. The model applies to the weakly wind, approximately 1–5 m/s of the mean wind velocity.

Comparison of experimental and numerical results showed a qualitative agreement. For a better quantitative approximation, it is necessary to have more boundary conditions variable with time and to solve unsteady set equations for transfer processes.
SORPTION OF HEAVY METALS FROM POLLUTED WATER AND THEIR MIGRATION IN THE SYSTEM SOIL‐TREE
Authors: Butkus Donatas , Baltrenaite Edita , Paliulis Dainius
Published: January 2019

Large amounts of various contaminants are transported via natural processes from technogenic pollution sources to air, water, soil and natural ecosystems. Heavy metals (HM) are very hazardous substances having long‐lasting impact on ecosystems. They have complex negative impact on human health, animals, flora and fauna at watercourses and microflora of wastewater. Often concentration of HM exceeds maximal available concentration in wastewater.

HM enter forests in their wet and dry forms from local or outer atmosphere sources; they are also brought from seas alongside with biogens and sea salt or washed from putrid or putrescent plants that concentrate in the soil or they are brought by wind or water together with mineral particles. Monitoring of forests determined that contaminants, i e HM inhibit energetic status of a tree and cause increase of tree sensitivity to diseases.

In this paper the most commonly met HM, such as Ni, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu and Co, are analysed. Pollution with HM can be reduced, if HM are accumulated by plants or absorbed by porous substances.

Natural or synthetic sorbents due to their high sorption capacity, selectivity, the properties of cation exchangeability, a low price and affordability are used to remove HM from wastewater. We investigated activated carbon (AC) CKT and activated carbon (AC) UPA. The results of the investigation show that AC UPA cannot sorb HM and another sorbent ‐ AC CKT ‐ cannot sorb HM too.

The transfer factor of HM from the soil to pine and birch trees was calculated, and the concentration of HM was determined in pine and birch wood, soil and polluted water. Samples of wood were burned, samples of soil were dried, and those of polluted water were analysed without special preparation. HM from wood and soil were extracted using a nitric acid solution. Samples of soil, wood and water were analysed with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer Buck Scientific 210VGP.

It is determined that Ni and Mn are most effectively transferred from soil to both pine and birch wood, while Cu is less effective in accumulation in pine wood and Co ‐ in birch wood.

Environmental research has recently attracted much attention in the scientific and engineering communities. The resounding theme in the literature is an emphasis on achieving a globally friendly environment while the environment is preserved and its quality improved upon. Attaining a high level of health status has also been the primary concern of its stakeholders. New technologies are continuing to emerge, thereby stimulating mutual research interaction among the scientific and technical communities on all the six continents. The inter‐disciplinary problems posed by natural and human‐induced changes in the earth's environment has therefore been the concern of many investigators in ecology, geography, civil engineering, marine engineering, biology, chemistry, earth science and physics, among others. Yet, there is a gap in the body of knowledge on environmental research. The popular and scholarly literature is deficient in studies that reflect the past, present and future trends of research in the field. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the field. The review covers general surveys, models, empirical studies and cases of original research in the field. Studies considered are those that have contributed significantly to knowledge. The review raises a new challenge and predicts growth areas in the next several decades.

Published: January 2019

Background

Polypharmacy (use of ≥ five medications) increases the risk of drug-drug interactions and can lead to negative health outcomes. This study aimed to review the medications of people living with HIV (PLWH) and HIV-negative controls in the POPPY study and evaluate the frequency of polypharmacy and potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs).

Methods

PDDIs between non-antiretroviral (ARV) drugs were analysed using the Lexicomp® database, and PDDIs between non-ARV and ARV drugs using the Liverpool drug interaction database. Between-group differences were assessed using χ2, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

Results

This analysis included 698 PLWH ≥50 years, 374 PLWH <50 years and 304 HIV-negative controls ≥50 years. The prevalence of polypharmacy was 65.8% in older PLWH, 48.1% in younger PLWH and 13.2% in the HIV-negative group. When ARVs were excluded, 29.8% of older PLWH and 14.2% of younger PLWH had polypharmacy. The prevalence of ≥1 PDDI involving non-ARV drugs was 36.1%, 20.3% and 16.4%, respectively, in older PLWH, younger PLWH and HIV-negative controls. In PLWH the prevalence of ≥1 PDDI involving ARV and non-ARV drugs was 57.3% in older PLWH and 32.4% in younger PLWH.

Conclusions

Polypharmacy and PDDIs involving non-ARV/ARV drugs and non-ARV/non-ARV drugs were common among older PLWH, highlighting the need for increased awareness and additional research on all types of PDDI.

Published: January 2019

Spiradicliskarstana, a new species of Spiradiclis (Rubiaceae) collected from Yunnan, China, is described for the first time. It is morphologically close to S.jingxiensis, but differs from the latter mainly by its inflorescences with 5–9 flowers, its 1.5–2.4 mm long peduncles, its stipules shorter than 1 mm and the 5–12 pairs of secondary veins. The conservation status is assessed as “Vulnerable” (VU) according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
Imprecise descriptions of Passiflora riparia Martius ex Masters led to redundant descriptions as P. emiliae Sacco, P. crenata Feuillet & Cremers, P. pergrandis Holm-Nielsen & Lawesson and P. fernandezii Escobar
Authors: Rome Maxime , Coppens d’Eeckenbrugge Geo
Published: January 2019

Passiflorariparia was incompletely described by Masters, who cited specimens of Martius and Spruce. While Spruce 2191, the unique syntype with an observable corona, exhibits a reduced outermost series of filaments, the accompanying iconography represents two equal outer series. Later descriptions have neither added significant information nor corrected the inconsistency in the corona description, so that four closely related species have been distinguished on the basis of traits not properly documented for P.riparia: P.emiliae (unequal outer series of filaments), P.crenata (bract color), P.pergrandis (flower size and sepal awn length), and P.fernandezii (hypanthium pubescence and shape). The present study compares (i) the descriptions of the above-mentioned taxa and (ii) 43 associated vouchers, as well as live specimens from two associated P.crenata populations. These and other specimens were georeferenced for a comparison of their distribution and habitat. Of the five P.riparia descriptions found in floras, only that of the Flora of Ecuador appears clearly divergent, corresponding in fact to P.tolimana. Those of the four other taxa only differ by unequal corona filaments (except for P.crenata) and the pubescence of floral parts. However, 22 vouchers associated with all these descriptions (including 16 for P.riparia), as well as the live specimens, share both these traits; the other 21 vouchers were uninformative and/or could not be assigned to any of the five species. The wider sample of 62 specimens indicates no significant differences in either geographic or in climatic distribution (lowlands of the Amazon basin), and a marked preference for riparian habitats. Thus, their very close morphology and ecology justify the placement of P.emiliae, P.crenata, P.pergrandis and P.fernandezii as synonyms of P.riparia, designating Spruce 2191 as epitype. The most similar species, P.ambigua (20 specimens mapped), differs in corolla and bract color, as well as a distribution centered along the tropical Andes of South America and in Central America, in more diverse habitats.

The Siberian centipede species Lithobius proximus Sseliwanoff, 1878 (Chilopoda, Lithobiomorpha): a new member of the Polish fauna
Authors: Wytwer Jolanta , Tajovský Karel
Published: January 2019

The centipedeLithobiusproximusSseliwanoff, 1878 is presented for the first time as a new member of the Polish fauna. This species, originally characterized as a widespread Siberian boreal species, seems to possess high plasticity with regards to environmental requirements. Its actual distribution range covers several geographical zones where local conditions have allowed it to survive. The present research in the Wigry National Park, northeast Poland, shows that its distribution extends to the ends of the East European Plain embracing the East Suwałki Lake District, where it occurs almost exclusively in the oak-hornbeam forests: in summer it is one of the three dominant lithobiomorph centipedes inhabiting litter layers.
Artificial diets for neonatal black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae
Authors: Woods M.J. , Hoffman L.C. , Pieterse E.
Published: January 2019

This study determined the optimal nursery diet for neonatal black soldier fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) larvae. The standard specifications of a poultry layer hen (feed source often used for larvae rearing) was used for the formulation of the control diet (L120), whilst an iso-nitrogenous and iso-energetic diet was formulated that included animal protein (10% spray dried blood meal; L120B). Also, the carcass milling technique was used to determine the ideal amino acid profile of the animals. Two diets were subsequently formulated according to this profile i.e. a plant protein based diet (IAAP) and a diet containing 10% spray dried blood meal (IAAPB). Thirdly, the addition of sterols to the diets were tested with the addition of sterols in the form of pork brains (3%) to both the L120 and IAAP diets. Lastly, a commercial store bought layer mash was used as a second control diet. These seven treatments were replicated eight times in 100 ml pill pots, each pot being inoculated with 100 neonates. Results obtained showed that the inclusion of animal protein in the diet significantly increased survivability by 25% from 69.8±3.98 to 91.3±4.26% in layer mash diets which was similar to that of the other blood meal diets (92.0±3.98 and 93.9±3.98%, respectively). The treatments that included a sterol source yielded the lowest number of larvae. The change in physical characteristics of these diets probably resulted in the low yield rather than the sterolsper se and further research in this regard is recommended. In this study cheaper, more efficient feeds were developed for feeding BSF neonates using the ideal amino acid profile of the animals which resulted in the establishing of an initial matrix for the nutrient requirements of these animals.
Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for Adolescents (SBIRT-A) Use in a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program
Authors: Ellington Erin
Published: January 2019

Despite psychiatric nurses' competency in identifying comorbid substance use disorders, at-risk users are often overlooked. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Institute on Drug Abuse support screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) as an intervention that reduces mortality, alcohol and substance use, and health care and societal costs. SBIRT for Adolescents (SBIRT-A) has the potential to provide similar outcomes during this critical developmental stage. This article describes one effective model for including SBIRT-A training in a psychiatric–mental health nurse practitioner program. [

Los oficiales reales de Quito bajo sospecha: el impago del situado y la propuesta de visita de la Caja (1712-1718)
Authors: Ruigómez Gómez Carmen
Published: January 2019

Hasta 1712 la Caja de Quito cumplió regularmente con la obligación de enviar el situado a los presidios de Cartagena y Santa Marta. A partir de entonces, los oficiales reales se encontraron con grandes dificultades para satisfacerlo y escribieron al rey con la esperanza de que, ante la crisis que vivía la región, les liberara de tan pesada carga. En España, el Consejo de Indias analizó los argumentos y las cuentas presentadas por los oficiales reales quiteños y no sólo no les dispensó de enviar el situado, sino que concluyó que era necesaria una visita urgente a la Caja, que finalmente no se produjo.

Les veus humanes, sobre tot es troben repartides en diferents oficis que tenen alguna important actuació en la litúrgia. Hi trobem la part humana dels diferents membres, les dificultats econòmiques dels musics, les dificultats administratives, per tal de poder-Ios subvenir i, en mig de tot això, es produí el patrimoni musical immens que hem heretat i que pretenem conservar i donar a conèixer.
Guillaume de Machaut: Notation and the Compositional Process
Authors: Göllner Marie Louise
Published: January 2019

En recientes estudios se ha enfatizado cada vez más que Machaut, particularmente en sus últimas chansons profanas, desarrolló un nuevo ideal de verticalidad musical, basado concretamente en tres, en lugar de dos voces. El presente artículo relaciona esta innovación con el concepto de notación estratificada del compositor y con la individualidad lineal de cada una de las tres voces, como se pone de manifiesto por su uso de motivos rítmicos repetidos en las baladas del poema narrativo tardío, Le voir dit.
Un tiento de Peraza entre papeles de San Zoilo de Carrión
Authors: Fernández de la Cuesta Ismael
Published: January 2019

La restauración llevada a cabo en el antiguo monasterio de San Zoilo de Carrión (Palencia) permitió recuperar diversos fragmentos musicales entre los que destaca un tiento de Peraza. La complejidad estilística de este tiento permite suponer que la forma que exhibe en la actualidad es fruto de sucesivas acciones de organistas posteriores, quienes pudieron introducir en ella elementos de modernidad. Nada impide, por tanto, atribuir la primitiva forma que pudo tener esta obra en origen, al amigo de Francisco Guerrero, primer músico importante de la saga de los Peraza, Francisco el padre (1564-1598).
Weltliche Einflüsse in der Notre-Dame-Musik? Überlegungen zu einer Klausel im Codex F
Authors: Büttner Fred
Published: January 2019

[de] Spätestens durch den Aufsatz „Zum genetischen Verhältnis zwischen Notre-Dame-Klauseln und ihren Motetten" von Wolf Frobenius (1987) wurde die uneingeschränkte Gültigkeit des geradlinigen Entwicklungsgangs, den Friedrich Ludwig von der Notre-Dame-Klausel über die lateinische bis zur franzosischen Motette zeichnete, in Frage gestellt. Jedoch bleibt Frobenius eine gründliche Untersuchung der betreffenden Stücke ebenso schuldig, wie auch an die behauptete Priorität vieler französischer Motetten gegenüber ihren Konkordanzen als Klausel und lateinische Motette kaum weiterreichende Schlußfolgerungen geknüpft werden. Anhand des „Ne"-Satzes Sm8, den bereits Ludwig exemplarisch hervorhob, um seine Auffassung von der Klausel als ältestem Stadium zu belegen, wird deshalb die Sichtweise von Frobenius noch einmal auf ihre Stichhaltigkeit überprüft. Dabei lassen sich im Klauselsatz verschiedene Züge festmachen, die auf den Bereich der weltlichen Musik deuten. Gibt dieses Ergebnis einerseits Frobenius Recht, so eroffnet es andererseits Perspektiven, aus denen neue Aufgaben fur die Notre-Dame-Forschung abgeleitet werden können.

Se trata, a la vez, de un ejemplo de circulación de obras de autores de gran prestigio y de su reutilización adaptada en lugares alejados al de su presunta producción, así como de una muestra del valor que en el siglo XVII español se otorgaba a la habilidad para adaptar, contrahacer o incluso "mejorar" obras musicales ajenas.
Die Kunst des Intavolierens: Gebundenheit und Freiheit
Authors: Ring Johannes
Published: January 2019

[de] Ein großer Teil des Musikrepertoires für Tasteninstrumente im 16. Jahrhundert bestand aus intavolierter Vokalmusik - Bearbeitungen von Motetten, Messsätzen und Chansons. Markante und teilweise wenig bekannte Beispiele zeigen verschiedene Funktionen der Intavolierungen. Zu nennen sind das Organistenrepertoire (liturgisches Umfeld), die Musik zur Erbauung und Unterhaltung und die pädagogische Funktion. Als Bestandteil der Ars Organistum waren Intavolierungen wichtig um professionell das Improvisieren von Musik und das Komponieren zu erlernen. Exemplarisch dokumentieren besonders H. Scheidemann, die beiden Gabrielis, J. de Lublin, P. Philips, die beiden Cabezóns und einige anonyme Komponisten aus England und Frankreich, dass ihre Kunst des Intavolierens weit über den Übertragungsmodus hinausgeht, bis hin zum virtuosen Arrangement und zur kunstvollen Paraphrase. Die Intentionen der Komponisten in Verbindung mit den Möglichkeiten der Tasteninstrumente prägen den Charakter und den Umformungsgrad einer Intavolierung.
Presencia musical en la Catedral de La Seu d'Urgell en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII a través de sus actas capitulares
Authors: Roig i Capdevila Jordi
Published: January 2019

El objetivo del presente artículo, es colaborar a la recuperación histórica de nuestra música y nuestro patrimonio, por medio de un caso concreto. Se pretende dar a conocer la vida musical —entre 1700 y 1750— de la capilla de música de la catedral de la Seu d'Urgell, un centro de particular relevancia desde época medieval, por ser un importante paso pirenaico entre Francia y España. Sobre los períodos medieval y renacentista existen algunos viejos estudios, que culminan con las publicaciones de Higini Anglés sobre Joan Brudieu. Pero, en cambio, apenas se conocen datos sobre la vida musical en esta ciudad episcopal durante los siglos XVIII al XX Empalmando con el final temporal abarcado por el trabajo de Pedrell-Anglés, el presente trabajo inicia el vaciado sistemático de la información alusiva a la música contenida en la documentación catedralicia. Aunque se tiene la intención de continuar, en esta ocasión, solamente se publican las actas capitulares correspondientes al período 1700-1750, lo que nos permite obtener una visión general de las actividades y repercusión de una de las principales capillas de música de ámbito catalán, y uno de los centros de ámbito hispánico menos estudiados por la Musicología hasta el momento.
Los claves coloniales de Sucre y Potosí
Authors: Alvarado Julieta
Published: January 2019

Hacia fines del siglo XVII los talleres eregidos en las misiones jesuíticas de América del Sur ya fabricaban una gran variedad de instrumentos musicales para su uso en las reducciones. Fuentes historiográficas indican que los primeros modelos de instrumentos de tecla traídos a la región provenían de Flandes. Sus rasgos permanecen casi inmutables hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. La ruta obligatoria para aquellos destinados a las regiones de Charcas y Chiquitos, hoy Bolivia, nos permite trazar igualmente una semblanza en la trayectoria de construcción establecida entre los talleres populares o nativos. Un ejemplo palpable es apreciable en dos claves dieciochescos procedentes de la otrora Villa Imperial de Potosí y la ciudad de La Plata, hoy Sucre. Entre los poquísimos modelos supervivientes en todo el continente americano, estos claves se diferencian de otros conservados por ser de manufactura local y por consiguiente ponen de manifiesto el establecimiento de una definida escuela andina y posiblemente amazónica de fabricantes de claves. Añadidos a éstos los numerosos órganos y otros instrumentos de tecla como clavicordios -muchos de ellos también conservados en iglesias y museos bolivianos- el panorama documenta el legado de un florecimiento musical sin precedentes.
Las sociedades musicales en el Madrid de Isabel II (1833-1868)
Authors: Diez Huerga M. Aurelia
Published: January 2019

Tras la caída del absolutismo monárquico, la burguesía, a quien el liberalismo económico dota de una pujanza sin precedentes, demanda nuevos entretenimientos, nuevos espacios para granjearse relaciones sociales convenientes y, en definitiva, nuevas formas para ostentar su influencia y poder. Por otra parte, el cambio de régimen político abre las puertas a las libertades de expresión y de reunión, aunque sea con matizaciones, y a la democratización progresiva de la sociedad, con sus derivaciones en el aspecto cultural. Tal confluencia de factores da pie a la aparición de instituciones de variada tipología pero con un denominador común: la defensa del ideario liberal, la convivencia y la comunicación de los individuos (lo que incluye el elemento recreativo), la propagación de la cultura y la expresión artística. Es aquí donde tienen cabida las sociedades con actividad musical, también denominadas instructo-recreativas, pues solían conjugar ambas facetas.
Este trabajo pretende hacer un recorrido por entidades tales como el Liceo Artístico y Literario, Instituto Español, La Unión, Museo Lírico, El Genio y muchas otras sociedades artísticas que proliferaron durante los años treinta y cuarenta del siglo XIX, centros de intensa actividad socio-musical en el Madrid isabelino. Se ha de subrayar su acción en este ámbito, dedicada a promover la interpretación, la creación y, en un plano importante, la enseñanza musical. En aquellos centros se dio cita la flor y nata de la sociedad madrileña para aprender los rudimentos de la música, el canto y la práctica instrumental así como para escuchar el repertorio que se estilaba por entonces y para participar ella misma en su interpretación.
Música e imágenes hasta la llegada del cine. (Linterna mágica, armónica de cristal, fantasmagorías y teatro de sombras)
Authors: Armell Femenía Montserrat , Ezquerro Esteban Antonio
Published: January 2019

La "pre-historia" del cine hablado, en lo relativo a la coordinación de imágenes en movimiento y sonido, supone un período extensísimo de tiempo, que abarca miles de años, desde la ilustración sonora de sombras proyectadas documentada en la antigua China, hasta prácticamente los albores del cinematógrafo, un avance tecnológico impensable —hoy en día más que nunca— sin la aportación que música y sonido han hecho al denominado séptimo arte. El presente trabajo pretende ofrecer una panorámica de la historia de la —documentadamente inconexa, aunque continua— preocupación humana por fijar el movimiento de un modo visual y sonoro a un tiempo, prestando particular atención a algunos logros técnicos de especial relevancia (la linterna mágica, la armónica de cristal, las fantasmagorías, el teatro de sombras), dentro del recorrido que facilitaría, ya entrado el siglo XX, el nacimiento del cine sonoro. Una mera introducción a un mundo fascinante y de plena actualidad, que, en el terreno puramente musicológico, por lo prácticamente virgen a fecha de hoy (y la escasísima y marginal bibliografía al respecto es la mayor prueba de ello), precisaría de nuevos y más detallados estudios.
La pervivencia de la Visitatio Sepulchri de Gandía (Valencia) (1550-2004)
Authors: Vives Ramiro José María
Published: January 2019

San Francisco de Borja, IV duque de Gandía, renunció en 1550 a sus bienes terrenales y marchó a Roma entregado a la causa de la Compañía de Jesús. Para conmemorar el acontecimiento, dejó instituida y dotada en Gandía, su ciudad natal, la celebración anual de un drama lírico-litúrgico en dos jornadas que escenifica el entierro (Viernes Santo) y la Resurrección (Domingo de Pascua) de Cristo, con base en un privilegio pontificio preexistente. Hacia 1865 el arzobispo de Valencia suprimió la representación al no mostrársele el breve que la autorizaba y cuando en 1996 los gandienses trataron de reponerla, ya era completamente desconocida en la ciudad la función del Viernes Santo, así como gran parte de las acotaciones escénicas, el texto y la música de la del Domingo de Resurrección. A partir de aquellos pobres, incompletos y defectuosos restos, inicié una investigación que, con el hallazgo de olvidados documentos, me ha permitido la reconstrucción íntegra y fidedigna de la obra.
Zur Frühgeschichte des Thematischen Verzeichnisses. Ludwig Ritter von Köchels „wissenschaftliche" Systematisierung
Authors: Hochradner Thomas
Published: January 2019

[de] Zu Musikinventaren und Verlags- bzw. Auktionskatalogen treten im 19. Jahrhundert, beginnend mit dem Chronologischthematischen Verzeichniss sämmtlicher Tonwerke Wolfgang Amade Mozart's durch Ludwig Ritter von Köchel, philologisch erarbeitete Thematische Werkverzeichnisse als eine dritte Kategorie des musikalischen Repertoireverzeichnisses hinzu. Köchels Vorgangsweise wird als Pionierleistung einer grundlegenden und fachspezifischen Textsorte gesehen. Das Einteilungsprinzip seiner vorangestellten Systematik fußt jedoch - wie grundsätzlich sein Vorgehen - einesteils auf handschriftlichen Werkverzeichnissen zu Mozarts Schaffen, andemteils in Konventionen der kurz zuvor bei Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig aufgelegten, im Vergleich zu früher stark ausgeweiteten Verlagskataloge zu Ludwig van Beethoven und Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. So besehen erweist sich Köchels Arbeit als weitergedachte Stratégie seiner Zeit, die bei allem Respekt vor seinem Streben nach Vollständigkeit und Exaktheit nicht bewusst, sondern fast zufällig Grundlagen setzte.
Músicos del Seiscientos hispánico: Miguel de Aguilar, Sebastián Alfonso, Gracián Babán y Mateo Calvete
Authors: Ezquerro Esteban Antonio
Published: January 2019

Los materiales que se exponen a continuación, planteados en un formato claramente lexicográfico (a manera de biografía del compositor, más breve valoración de su obra, catalogación de su producción musical y bibliografía al efecto), no pueden pretender presentar o agotar un trabajo exhaustivo acerca de los compositores reseñados, sino únicamente, enmarcarlos en la época y el ambiente musical en el que éstos desarrollaron su actividad, con vistas a apoyar, o ayudar a una mejor comprensión de sus composiciones musicales legadas y el significado que éstas encierran. Las semblanzas de cada autor parten, bien de una redacción previa realizada en su día con vistas a ser incluidas en el Diccionario de la Música Española e Hispanoamericana de la SGAE, bien de su ampliación y revisión de cara a un trabajo académico. Es por ello que, en algunos casos, los artículos presentan una extensión bastante amplia, debido a que responden a la síntesis de un trabajo de varios años en el Archivo de Música de las Catedrales de Zaragoza, u otros archivos eclesiásticos. Además, algunos de los capítulos aquí incluidos han sido, para esta ocasión, ligeramente modificados y/o actualizados.
Les migdiades musicals en València
Authors: Ramírez i Beneyto Ramon
Published: January 2019

En aquest article, l’autor fa públiques per primera vegada una sèrie de referències -recollides en la premsa, els llibres d’actes capitulars, protocols notarials i altres documents conservats a l’arxiu catedralici valencià- tocants a la celebració de migdiades de música, tant a la catedral metropolitana com en la resta d’esglésies i convents de la ciutat de València i els seus voltants. De tal manera que, amb això, es documenta perfectament la realització d’aquests concerts de música dintre del marc eclesiàstic valencià almenys des de principis del segle XVII fins ben entrat el segle XIX, demostrant-se igualment la pervivència en l’ús i el costum de realitzar aquest tipus d’actes musicals amb la intenció d’aconseguir un major lluïment en les festivitats que se celebren al llarg de tot aqueix temps. S’aporten també els llocs, les dates i les capelles que actuaven en cada moment, amb una possible aproximació al repertori interpretat.
Una aproximación a la capilla de música de la catedral de Tortosa (Tarragona): 1700-1750
Authors: Montagut Marian Rosa
Published: January 2019

El presente artículo pretende ofrecer una aproximación documentada a la capilla de música de la catedral de Tortosa, un centro de particular relevancia por cuanto dicha ciudad resultó ser, en otros tiempos –por su antigüedad, historia y situación geográfica privilegiada–, una de las más ilustres de la Península y con la cual tuvo una especial vinculación Miguel Querol. De este modo, aunque la Tortosa de principios del siglo XVIII había perdido ya parte del empuje de épocas anteriores, su diócesis seguía abarcando territorios de las actuales provincias de Tarragona, Teruel, Castellón y Valencia, y la capilla musical de la seo, a pesar de no ser por entonces especialmente numerosa y brillante para ser catedralicia, parece que fue un lugar de atracción no sólo para los músicos catalanes sino asimismo de otros lugares cercanos como Aragón y/o Valencia.
Els músics del rerecor de la catedral de Tarragona
Authors: Canela i Grau Montserrat
Published: January 2019

El presente artículo es una descripción de los modillones de factura gótica que se encuentran en el antiguo trascoro de la Catedral Metropolitana y Primada de Tarragona. Después de una breve contextualización histórica, se hace una descripción, para finalizar con una pequeña reflexión sobre su estado actual. La catedral de Tarragona, edificada sobre los restos de un templo romano, es un hermoso ejemplo de la última arquitectura románica que se hizo en Cataluña, se podría decir que “de transición”, ya que se comenzó hacia finales del siglo XII y se acabó a comienzos del siglo XIV.
Luis de Sandoval y Mallas: autor de villancicos
Authors: Martín Márquez Alberto
Published: January 2019

La provisión de letras para villancicos en el Barroco español ha sido una materia eclipsada por el trabajo musical de los maestros de capilla. Este artículo presenta al burgalés afincado en Zamora, Luis de Sandoval y Mallas, uno de tantos poetas locales que esperan ser rescatados del anonimato. Mallas fue un autor de letras muy prolífico en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII, llegando a colaborar con una de las personalidades más relevantes de la música del momento: Juan García de Salazar, maestro de la Catedral de Zamora.
