Published: September 2022

Objective - The world recently faced the Covid-19 outbreak, which impacted various sectors like economics, medical and health, community, tourism, psychology, and mental health. The outbreak affects the education and higher education sectors.
Methodology/Technique - This study aims to investigate the dimensions of students on the usage of technology as medium in Qiraat course during Covid-19. This study is qualitative research which applied case study and focus group discussions (FGD) from students in Darul Quran, JAKIM.
Findings – This research concludes that four themes are the foundation for analysing technology usage among students in Darul Quran during COVID-19; Google Meet serves as the technological medium of choice for students in their TnL sessions. The perks of using the Google Meet medium in qiraat's TnL make the course easier and more effective to learn during the pandemic, was agreed by 93.3% of the students, or 14 out of 15 students. Meanwhile, 60% of students, or 9 out of 15, decided that the most significant constraint of TnL using Google Meet is a slow internet connection, while 40% of students, or 6 out of 15 students, claimed that the main problem with qiraat's TnL through technology is that they have limited comprehension and are not focused.
Novelty - This research has significant implications for Malaysian public and private universities, as well as institutions of tahfiz studies, in terms of developing a more robust and quality al-Quran generation capable of acquiring qiraat knowledge.

Authors: ZHANG Wanzhi , HAN Yuelin , HUANG Chen , CHEN Zhiwei
Published: September 2022

This paper proposed a method of seed potato buds recognition based on improved YOLOv3-tiny. K-means clustering based on IoU is used to obtain the anchor box that meets the size of buds. Mosaic online data enhancement is used to increase image diversity and model generalization ability. The CIoU bounding box regression loss function is introduced to improve the regression effect of buds recognition. The results show that the precision (P), the recall (R), the average precision (AP), and the F1 score of the model for seed potato buds recognition are 88.33%, 85.97%, 91.18% and 87.13% respectively. The real-time recognition speed of seed potato buds on the embedded platform NVIDIA Jetson Nano can reach 40FPS. The method proposed in this paper can meet the needs of real-time recognition of seed potato buds on the embedded platform.
Effects of hydrogen and SiO2 buffer layer insertion on electrical properties of low-resistive indium tin oxide films formed on polyethylene naphthalate films
Authors: Fukuda Tsuneo , Kamada Yuya , Maeda Takuya , Shingu Takayoshi
Published: September 2022

Low-resistivity transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) films were fabricated on flexible polymer substrates by RF-magnetron sputtering. Addition of hydrogen to the sputtering gas was effective in reducing the resistivity of ITO films deposited at room-temperature. Resistivity was further decreased by inserting a SiO2 buffer layer between the substrate and the ITO films. By optimizing the hydrogen pressure and SiO2 thickness, a resistivity of 3.4 × 10−4 Ω·cm was realized with a thickness of about 100 nm while maintaining an optical transparency of more than 85% in the visible range of the optical spectrum.

Published: September 2022

We report a novel method for enhancing magnetic plasmon resonances (MPRs) and sensing performance of metasurface consisting of a 1D Ag nanogroove array by using an opaque Ag mirror. The Ag mirror can block the transmission channel of light, so the radiative damping of MPRs excited in Ag nanogrooves is strongly reduced, and therefore the linewidth of MPRs is noticeably decreased. Because of ultra-narrow bandwidth and great magnetic field enhancement at MPRs, the metasurface shows very high sensitivity (S = 700 nm RIU−1, S* = 70 RIU−1) and figure of merit (FOM = 100, FOM* = 628), which holds great potential in the label-free biomedical sensing.
Re-establishment of CBCA in assessing of credibility of sexually abused victims’ statement
Authors:   Korean Association of Victimology, Moon Hyemin , Jo Eunkyung , Yoon Yeohoon
Published: September 2022

Criteria-Based Content Analysis (CBCA) can effectively discriminate the veracity of child statement in sexual abuse cases. Therefore, CBCA is widely used to evaluate the credibility in cases of suspected child sexual abuse. However, the validity of an CBCA procedure is limited by its low inter-rater reliability. In order to identify the cause of low inter-rater reliability and solve this problem, this study proposed a method for re-establishing the definition of CBCA criteria and the evaluation principle. Hence, 13 domestic papers using CBCA and CBCA manuals of the police and prosecutors were reviewed. Accordingly, problems such as names of CBCA critera, ambiguous operational definitions, and lack of clear evaluation principle were identified. Based on this result, we proposed a specific operational definition and evaluation principle along with a unified name. Trained for 10hours evaluators analyzed transcripts of 84 sexual assault victim statements using reestablished CBCA criteria. As a result, it was found that the inter-rater reliability (ICC) for each criterion was .697-.949, which was satisfactory. Finally, the practical application of the redefined concept in this study and the future development direction were discussed.
Low-overhead Clustered Federated Learning for Personalized Stress Monitoring

Published: September 2022

Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Wearable Internet of Things (WIoT) are enabling remote health monitoring in everyday settings for early detection and prevention of chronic health problems. Such solutions can be used to augment a conventional physician-centered healthcare system. Stress, as one of the critical health problems, affects individuals adversely in terms of both physical and mental health. Prior studies on stress evaluation utilize a centralized cloud-based approach that combines data from each client for modeling. However, such a centralized approach raises data privacy concerns. To preserve privacy, decentralized federated learning has been proposed as a potential alternative framework. Nevertheless, existing federated learning algorithms have to deal with data heterogeneity; data skewness in each participant can significantly degrade the overall model performance. To tackle this challenge, we present a personalized, low-overhead clustered federated learning algorithm for stress-level recognition. The proposed algorithm outperforms two state-of-the-art baseline algorithms by providing over 7% and 12% increase in accuracy, respectively. The proposed algorithm also obtains a reduction of 37.5% and 9.6% in the training runtime compared to the two baseline algorithms. We also present a novel cold-start algorithm for new clients who join the trained system. Our results suggest that this cold-start algorithm is robust in terms of individual classification accuracy and total training time.

Approaches to predicting the risk of acute cerebrovascular accident in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease and bone mineral disorders
Authors: Mambetova A. M. , Gutarаeva Sh. N. , Semyonova I. L.
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND. Among the causes of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis, cardiovascular complications play a leading role. One of them is acute incidences of cerebral circulation (AICC). The assessment of the impact of mineral and bone disorders on the risk of developing AICC is interesting and on par with the assessment of the impact of traditional risk factors.

   THE AIM: to evaluate the effects of bone mineral disorders on the risk of acute cerebrovascular accident in patients with stage 5 D CKD.

   PATIENTS AND METHODS. A single-center cohort prospective (three-year) study of 85 patients with stage 5D CKD on program hemodialysis was conducted. In the first stage, we evaluated traditional risk factors (blood pressure, echocardiography parameters) and parameters that reflect bone mineral disorders (parathyroid hormone, blood phosphate, calcium levels, 1.25 (OH) D, fibroblast growth factor-FGF-23, a-klotho of blood). Signs of calcification of the heart valves (CHV) and the aortic wall (CAW) were also recorded. In the second stage, three years later, patients were re-examined with the registration of the endpoint, which was identified as cases of fatal and non-fatal AICC.

   RESULTS. Within three years, 10 cases of AICC were registered. Mineral and bone disorders in patients on hemodialysis, such as hyperphosphatemia, CKD and its severity are risk factors for the development of AICC. It is shown that the severity of CCS and pulse pressure levels determined before the dialysis procedure and intradialytic have a positive effect on the risk of AICC. Factors such as FGF-23 and α-Klotho of blood have not demonstrated their effect on the risk of AICC.
HEALTH EFFECTS OF WATER POLLUTION
Authors: Prof. P. S. Kamble  , Mr. Amol Chandrakant Kamble
Published: September 2022

Water is an essential resource for human life. According to the 2021 World Water Development Report released by UNESCO, global consumption of freshwater has increased six fold over the past 100 years and has been increasing by about 1% annually since the 1980s. Water quality is facing serious challenges due to increasing water consumption. Industrialization, agricultural production and urban life have led to environmental degradation and pollution, adversely affecting life-sustaining water resources (rivers and oceans), ultimately affecting human health and sustainable social development. Globally, approximately 80% of industrial and municipal wastewater is released into the environment without any pretreatment and it is adversely affecting human health as well as ecosystems. This ratio is higher in less developed countries, where sanitation and sewage treatment facilities are largely lacking.

Published: September 2022

The aim: The article is devoted to uncovering the essence of the trauma, identifying the cause of its formation, and investigating the consequences for the person and the community.
Materials and methods: The methodological basis of the given study is the interdisciplinary and hermeneutic approach, which was used in combination with the methods of retrospective, analysis, synthesis, and extrapolation, as well as the methodological apparatus of memory studies with its inherent intention of the problem of group identity formation. A prominent place in the process of writing the work played the method of critical literature review. Sources reflecting research on individual and collective dimensions of trauma were found in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Research articles were found using the keywords “trauma”, “traumatic experience”, “victim”, “violence”, “collective trauma”, “cultural trauma”, “memory”, etc.
Conclusions: Modern studies of traumatic experience are inextricably linked with the scientific work of Sigmund Freud, who was one of the first to explicate trauma as a destroyer of “protection”. This gave reason to modern researchers to consider it an emotional reaction of the psyche to mental, physical, or cultural violence directed against the identity of an individual or an entire community. Whether inflicted on an individual or a community as a whole, trauma invariably seeks testimony in order to produce meanings and mechanisms capable of preventing violence and preserving the mental health of both the individual and the community as a whole.

Published: September 2022

The article deals with the topical issues of improving the university course "Methods of Teaching Piano Playing" at the present stage. The author of the article, who has been leading this course at the Moscow Conservatory for over 35 years and is the author of the acting course Programme, recommended by the Educational and Methodological Association of Higher Educational Institutions of the Russian Federation for Music Education [12], justifies the special role of the course in the current conditions and offers new original approaches to mastering a diverse set of necessary methodological knowledge realizing optimal activity of students not only in working with pupils, but also in their independent work. The author suggests, on the one hand, to enrich the traditional topics of the course with more capacious content through a wider coverage of diverse, including opposite methodological approaches, to boldly show a varied multiplicity in solving different methodological problems and, thereby, to give the course a more multidimensional, multipolar character. On the other hand, in response to today's requests, the expansion of the problem field of the course and the introduction of new topics, such as "Mimicry and Gestures of a Pianist", "Formation of a Performing Concept", "Methods of Creating a Soloist Cadenza" and others are motivated.
ARAM TATULYAN — REPRESENTATIVE OF A. B. GOLDENWEISER'S SCHOOL IN CHINA
Authors:   Russian State Specialized Academy of Arts, Moscow, Russian Federation, Liwan Bao
Published: September 2022

The article analyzes for the first time the adaptation in China of the largest piano school of the Moscow Conservatory — the school of A. B. Goldenweiser. Aram Tatulyan was his student at the Moscow Conservatory in 1930s–1940s. Each pianist-teacher relies on the school he received, and this was the case with Aram Tatulyan. His name is now almost forgotten in Russia, but is deeply revered in China, where he became one of the pioneers at the piano faculty. The lessons of young Chinese pianists with talented Russian teachers have been crowned more than once with victories at international competitions, including the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. The key to the amazing success of Liu Shikong, Yin Chengzong, Zhou Guangren and others was the assimilation of pedagogical principles and methods of the Russian school — particularly A. B. Goldenweiser. By passing on his experience to Chinese students, Tatulyan laid a solid foundation for the formation and future flourishing of the pianist specialty in China. The scientific objectives of the article are to reconstruct Tatulyan's learning path according to the archives of the Moscow Conservatory, as well as to form a generalized idea of the fundamentals and methods of A. B. Goldenweiser's piano school.
VIOLIN SOUND IMAGE AND NEW COMPOSITIONAL WRITING TECHNIQUES OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE XXTH CENTURY
Authors:   Magnitogorsk State Conservatory (Academy) named after M. I. Glinka, Magnitogorsk, Russian Federation, Kudashova V. A.
Published: September 2022

The expansion of the sound image of violin music in the second half of the XXth century is largely due to the emergence of new compositional writing techniques. The spirit of experimentation, the pathos of finding ways to embody original artistic ideas significantly influenced the composers' attitude to the "sound" and image of the instrument. The authors adapt the writing technique and the acoustic and expressive possibilities of the violin to the content and concept of their compositions. In sonoristic, minimalistic, aleatoric compositions, the creation of a new musical reality encourages the authors to measure the boundaries of sound and penetrate into its internal structure. It ceases to be only instructive material for composer and performer, acquiring an autonomous semantic role. In this regard, the violin sound device is ideal for experiments in the direction of expanding the timbre acoustic capabilities of the instrument. Traditional instrumental techniques and performing means of expression are being adjusted. The searches for the liberation of sound from the regulations of pitch, rhythm, form, and so on become productive. Such an interpretation of the instrument subordinates the sound to the creator's will, equalizing the rights of the composer and the performer. It opens up unlimited ways to implement individual ideas, expanding the range of artistic possibilities of the sound image of the violin in the works of Western and Russian composers of the second half of the XXth century. This process has been little studied in modern musicology, so its present study acquires a particular relevance and novelty.
FROM THE LEGACY OF N. A. RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: CONCERTO FOR TROMBONE AND BRASS BAND
Authors:   Orenburg State Institute of Arts named after L. and M. Rostropovich, Orenburg, Russian Federation, Ivanov A. I.
Published: September 2022

The article deals with the Concerto for Trombone and Brass Orchestra by N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov (1877) as one of the first compositions of this genre in Russia. The context of the work is created by the composer's own concert works and early scores for trombone and orchestra by European masters (G. Wagenseil, L. Mozart, F. David). A brief digression into history allowed us to mention the authors who have included trombones in opera scores (D. Meyerbeer, R. Wagner) and to name J. Raff, who was one of the first to use trombones in his violin, cello and piano concerts. It is emphasized that Rimsky-Korsakov's Concerto displays some important properties of F. Liszt's and M. Glinka's writing principles, there is a tangible reliance on the traditions of his contemporaries — M. Balakirev and P. Tchaikovsky. The result is an original, colourful concert composition, which shows the different possibilities of a solo instrument, including its virtuoso and cantilena, capable of revealing the lyrical content of the images. The Concerto's cadences are highlighted with a clear reminder of opera recitative scenes. A detailed analysis of the musical text is given, the specificity of its musical language is identified.
INTERPRETATION OF CHINESE PAINTING IN THE XIEYI STYLE
Authors:   Russian State Specialized Academy of Arts, Moscow, Russian Federation, Jing Tang
Published: September 2022

The core of Chinese painting in the Xieyi style is to convey an idea in a free form, Xieyi paintings have the beauty of poetry, calligraphy and prints. It uses a colour method based on black and white imagery and the concept of linear modelling with brush and ink. It differs from Western painting in its methods of perspective, which transcend the limitations of time and space. The spirit of Xieyi is a reflection of real life, but refined and sublimated through imagination, ultimately completing the process of creating artistic images. Having great innovative and creative force and inheriting the tradition of Chinese culture and art, Xieyi condenses the inner ideological characters of Chinese nation. Moreover, Xieyi is a unique form of free emotional expression stimulating the continuous development and advancement of the art of Chinese landscape painting. The artistic characteristics of Chinese Xieyi landscape painting are unique and embody the oriental aesthetic thought and Chinese philosophy. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are the spiritual basis that shape and nurture the artistic features of Chinese painting, at the same time, the XXth century European painting also influenced them.

Purpose of work. The article examines the linguistic situation in modern South Africa after the end of Apartheid. One question is the importance of a concept of mother tongue education in the RSA. What difficulties Afrikaans speakers, mainly the Afrikaners and the Coloureds, have regarding the use of their mother tongue in education and how such challenges can be addressed; does this provide a basis for building a new common cultural, national identity. Materials and methods. The author analyzes several aspects and measures taken by the South African government, by universities and various public organizations in the sphere of education that affect the status and functioning of the Afrikaans language in modern conditions in order to determine the degree of their influence on the linguistic situation in the country. Results. The study showed that the measures taken by the government in the field of language policy, especially with regard to Afrikaans, are clearly at variance with the Constitution, guaranteeing the right to education in the mother tongue, Since the government’s goal is not to support Afrikaans and other language speakers in their desire to preserve linguistic identity, but to impose the English language, the minority language on the multilingual country, which in turn causes discontent among the Afrikaans speakers, that leads to the establishment of civil society organizations and movements for the defense of the mother tongue and the development of secessionist activities among Afrikaners and other linguistic communities among the country. Conclusion. Based on the facts provided, the author concludes that without joint efforts and cohesion of the Afrikaners and the Coloureds, without a shared perception of their linguistic and cultural identity, Afrikaans in the long run will simply become just a home language with further complete and utter oblivion.

A arte, como território de produção de materialidades e saberes, pode ser habitada a partir de uma perspectiva colonizadora, em que a dita alta cultura prevalece como formadora de parâmetros e saberes, ou de uma perspectiva emancipadora. Este texto pretende partilhar uma investigação acerca da segunda possibilidade. Considerando o pensamento poético um modo de compreender e produzir realidades que escapa da circunscrição puramente racional, entende-se que o campo da arte tem potência para transtornar as linhas divisórias entre pensamento racional/imaginação e consciência/ matéria, duas das principais dicotomias que sustentam as epistemologias e práticas colonizadoras. Essa hipótese será apresentada a partir de estudos de caso, analisando obras de Daniella Paolielo e Mateus Ribs, e estabelecendo diálogos com autoras como Vandana Shiva, Isabelle Stengers, Silvia Federici e María Zambrano que propõem o reencantamento do mundo por meio de uma profunda revolução nos modos como se (re)produz e compreende a vida.Palavras-chave: Pensamento poético.

Effects of Temperature on the Development and Survival of Cricket Species; Acheta domesticus and Gryllus bimaculatus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)
Authors: Odhiambo Martha Akello , Ochia Calleb Olweny , Okuto Erick Otieno
Published: September 2022

Temperature plays an important role in the development and survival of insects. The effects of temperature on the development of two cricket species, Acheta domesticus and Gryllus bimaculatus were determined at six constant temperatures (18, 22, 26, 30, 34 and 380C). Parameters for stage-specific development such as fecundity, weight and fat content, structural body size, sex ratio, development time, and longevity were investigated. Relative humidity, light intensity, and photoperiod were set at 60-90 %, 500 ± 25 Lux, and 12:12 L:D, respectively. The results indicated that the duration of eggs and nymphal stages were significantly influenced by increased temperature. The egg-to-adult developmental period of Acheta domesticus declined from 200.5 days to 66.26 days as the temperature increased from 180C to 30 °C while that for Gryllus bimaculatus decreased from 231.82 to 62.22 days as the temperature increased from 18 to 34°C. The optimum temperature estimated for egg-to-adult ranged from 26˚C to 34˚C. Longevity of both females and males was significantly higher (female: F5, 401 = 7.5, P < 0.001; male: F5, 401 = 6.4, P < 0.001) at 18oC than at other temperatures, with the shortest recorded for Acheta domesticus (female: 20.19 days; male: 26.67 days) and Gryllus bimaculatus (Females: 25.56 days; Males: 27.49 days) at 38oC. Fecundity was highest at 26°C (1360 eggs/female/generation) and lowest at 18°C (101 eggs/female/generation) for Acheta domesticus. For Gryllus bimaculatus, the highest fecundity was recorded at 30°C (1722 eggs/female/generation) and the lowest at 18°C (123 eggs/female/generation). The optimal developmental temperature for crickets was determined to range from 26°C to 34°C. Understanding the impacts of temperature on the development of crickets would provide information on how climate change shapes insect ecologies and enable the development of forecasting models.
