«I FEEL THOROUGHLY ANNOYED WITH THIS CITY»: THE BACKGROUND OF LONDON SUCCESS OF VLADIMIR DUKELSKY
Authors: Максимова А.С.
Published: May 2024

В статье рассматриваются обстоятельства работы Владимира Дукельского в Лондоне середины 1920-х годов. Материалом исследования послужили письма композитора к матери, хранящиеся ныне в Библиотеке Конгресса США. Эти документы, наряду с воспоминаниями Дукельского, свидетельствуют о том, что сочинение музыки академических жанров в Лондоне оказалось для композитора почти невозможным. Вместо этого он активно и успешно сотрудничал с лондонским мюзик-холлом, назвав впоследствии Лондон единственным городом, где можно «не только тратить, но и делать деньги».

The author explores the cultural background of Vladimir Dukelsky’s life and work in London in the mid-1920s. Dukelky’s letters to his mother, now stored at the Library of Congress in the USA, are being used as research materials. As it is stated in the letters, composing serious music turned out to be almost impossible for Dukelsky. Instead, he diligently and successfully collaborated with the London Music Hall and later remembered London as the only city where one may “not just spend but also make money”.

ARNOLD BAX AND HIS VIOLA SONATA (FROM THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH MUSIC OF THE FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY)
Authors: Разина В.М.
Published: May 2024

В начале XX века большая часть альтовой музыки была написана для Лайонела Тертиса, знаменитого виртуоза, пропагандирующего альт в качестве сольного инструмента. Признававшийся современниками исполнителем такого же уровня, как Фриц Крейслер и Эжен Изаи, он вдохновил практически всех значительных композиторов Британии на написание произведений для альта. Cэр Арнольд Эдуард Тревор Бакс, композитор и поэт, также известный под псевдонимом Дермот O’Брин, долгое время жил в Дублине и был знаком со многими представителями Ирландского литературного возрождения. Соната для альта была написана Баксом пять лет спустя Пасхального восстания, трагические события которого оказали сильное влияние на его литературное и музыкальное творчество. В статье музыка сонаты рассматривается в контексте ирландского музыкального фольклора и кельтской мифологии.

In the early 20th century most of the viola music was written for Lionel Tertis, the famous viola virtuoso and the pioneer of the viola as a solo instrument. Regarded by his contemporaries as a performer of the same level as Fritz Kreisler and Eugène Ysaÿe, he inspired almost all of the outstanding British composers of the time to write music for the viola. Sir Аrnold Edward Trevor Bax, a composer and a poet, who went under the pseudonym ‘Dermot O’Byrne’, has lived in Dublin for a long time; he was acquainted with many distinguished figures of the Irish literary revival. He wrote the Viola sonata five years after the Easter Rising – the tragedy that strongly influenced his literary and musical works. The article analyzes the musical contents of the sonata in connection with the Irish folk music and Celtic mythology.

Published: May 2024

Objective The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine the reasons for the delay in orthodontic treatment from the patient’s point of view. Materials and methods Thirty patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment participated in this cross-sectional study. A pre-structured questionnaire was divided into two parts (Part A consists of demographic details while Part B consists of treatment-related questions) is sent through email and the patient was asked to fill out the form online. The final data were expressed in percentages. Result About half of the patients faced delays in treatment. From the patient’s point of view, 36.7% of patients responded that the doctors are the cause for delay in treatment whereas 40% of patients opposed the view. 53.3% of patients followed the appointment 46.7% were satisfied with their schedule 30% were not satisfied with the appointment dates and 26.7% didn’t follow the schedule More than 80% of patients are aware that not following the appointment dates will influence their treatment plan. The discomfort felt during or after treatment prevents 30% of the patient from continuing their treatment. Post procedural instructions are followed by most of the patients - 80.3%. Conclusion Many reasons contribute to the delay in orthodontic treatment, but it all plays a minor role. Patient’s responsibility for their treatment schedule and cooperation with the doctor plays a vital role. If the patient is convenient with the appointment schedule and satisfied with the treatment plan and procedure, it becomes easier to follow the plan and overcome the delay in treatment.

Published: May 2024

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effect of different doses of biochar (BC) obtained from cocoa pod husk (BCC) and banana stalk (BCB) in association with several organic manures on growth of succession plants. To determine the effects, it was established a completely randomized design, composed of treatments T1 (15 g of BCC), T2 (30 g of BCC), T3 (30 g of BCB), T4 (30 g of BCB) in mixture with 100 g of SiO2 and 500 ml of biol. Treatments T5 and T6 consisted of 60 g BCC and 60 g BCB + 50 ml of Trichoderma spp. and 50 ml of biol (T5) and treatment T7 consisted of 100 g of SiO2. In all treatments with BC the increase of soil pH was achieved but only in T1 a value >pH 6 was reached. Plant height and pseudostem thickness at the end of the experiment were very homogeneous in the biochar treatments and higher than those obtained in the control treatment. The effect of biochar on the number of leaves at the end of the experiment ranged from 9 to 11 leaves, a favorable result for obtaining an optimal bunch for export.

La prueba de oficio en la legislación ecuatoriana
Authors: Romero Carrera Estefany Carolina , Pangol Lascano Alberto Mauricio
Published: May 2024

The ex officio test is a power conferred on the judge, stipulated in the COGEP, for direct intervention in the judicial process. The objective of this research is to carry out a legal analysis of the ex officio test within the Ecuadorian legislation. The methodology used obeys a qualitative approach, of a descriptive type with the phenomenological - comparative method. Among the main findings, it was determined that one of the conditions required of the judge is to request and justify the need for ex officio evidence at the preliminary or single hearing. Therefore, this power is part of legal certainty and guarantees of due process, because it is conferred by the Ecuadorian State through regulations. It is also concluded that the judge lacks the power to supply or omit facts, therefore, within the resolutions that he issues in the exercise of his functions, he is only attributed the provision of evidence for a duly substantiated opinion, with the purpose that, in the resolutions issued, justice is administered on the controversial facts and circumstances that have been proposed by the procedural parties.
Contributions of Agricultural Subsidies to Increase Producer Income in Cotton and Milk Productions: A Case Study of Hatay Province-Turkey
Authors:   Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Economics, P.O. Box: 31060, Hatay, Turkey, Celik Ahmet Duran
Published: May 2024

Agricultural production is subsidized at different levels depending on the country's development status. The budget that was allocated for agricultural subsidies in Turkey in 2020 was around 22 billion TL (Turkish Lira) which was equal to 3.14 billion USD. In this study, the contribution of agricultural subsidies to product income and gross profit value was examined specifically on cotton as crop production and dairy cattle as animal production. According to the research results, agricultural subsidies increased production value by 30.70% in cotton and 4% in milk income. Those increased rates also significantly increased the gross profit values of the products. The results also indicate that enterprises sustain their existence with the income from subsidies, and that the income from production barely covers operating costs. It is necessary to allocate a sufficient budget for agricultural subsidies in order to secure Turkey’s agricultural sustainability, improve producers’ income, and provide affordable food supplies for consumers by decreasing the production costs.

Insect pollination improves essential nutrients and qualities of pollinating plants. Approximately 90% of flowering plants and 35% of crops require insect pollination. Bees play a vital role in pollination in natural and agricultural systems. Managed bees have extensively been used for pollination. Unfortunately, the native bee population has been waning globally. Commercial bee-rearing experiences different rearing problems i.e. food, environment, and spatial conditions within colonies. In this research, the impact of different densities of workers within colonies of Bombus terrestris L. was observed on colony development and pest incidence. Different worker densities i.e. 60-70, 80-90,110-120 and 140-150, respectively, were maintained under controlled laboratory conditions. The results indicated that emergence of workers was higher in less dense colonies (60-70 workers) as compared with highly dense colonies (140-150 workers). Maximum drone emergence was observed in colonies having 80-90 workers as compared with highly denser colonies. The numbers of young queens were the highest in denser colonies. Mortality percentage of bumblebees and insect pest incidence were also higher in denser colonies. Therefore, the colony with 80-90 workers can be used as an indicator for bumblebee-rearing on a commercial scale in the laboratory.

Results showedthattwo factors were generated, indicating two statistically distinct ways of responding. Participants who loaded on factor A were characterized by their structured approach around decision-making, thinking through consequences of actions, and tendency towards planning/organization. In all but one participant, this factor was represented by participants with no history of bulimia nervosa. Participants who loaded on factor B were characterized by pleasure-seeking urges, quick action, lack ofself-control, and difficulty in postponing reward. This factor, except for one participant, consisted of individuals with a history of bulimia nervosa. In conclusion, the current study providesanevidence for a pattern of impulsivity in women with bulimia nervosa not found in their healthy counterparts.
A factor analysis of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale in an older psychiatric population: Exploratory and confirmatory analyses
Authors: Ownby Raymond L. , Seibel H. Philip
Published: May 2024

Although the factor structure of the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) is well established with many populations, a study by Overall and Beller (1984) suggested that its factor structure may differ with older psychiatric patients. The present study investigated the factor structure of the BPRS with older chronic psychiatric patients in a state-sponsored facility. Exploratory factor analyses showed that the BPRS factor structure with this population was in some respects similar to that found by Overall and Beller and in other ways similar to that previously found in younger general psychiatric samples. When various factor structures were assessed with confirmatory factor analyses via LISREL, a hybrid model best fit the present data. This model shared features of the BPRS factor structure with young adult patients as well as with that found by Overall and Beller with geropsychiatric patients.
Determining the factor structure of the Psychopathy Checklist: A converging approach
Authors: Templeman Ron , Wong Stephen
Published: May 2024

Three statistical and six psychometric methods were used to obtain converging validation of the correct number of factors to extract in the Psychopathy Checklist. A two-factor solution was obtained reflecting, respectively, criminal/anti-social behaviors and salient personality characteristics of the psychopath. The present results support the two- factor interpretation proposed by Templeman and Wong (1987) and Harpur, Hakstian, and Hare (1988). Earlier factor analytic studies which suggest a five to seven-factor solution are probably the result of an overextraction of factors. A converging approach in determining the correct number of factors to retain is strongly encouraged.
A stepchild's emotional experience across two households: An investigation of response patterns by P-technique factor analysis
Authors: Corneal Sherry , Nesselroade John R.
Published: May 2024

A multivariate, replicated, single-subject, repeated measures (MRSRM) design was used to explore intraindividual variability in emotional response patterns of the stepchild both within and between two households: the mother's and that of the stepfamily. Within this intensive measurement framework, two 12-year-old male stepchildren who resided in their respective single-parent household (mother's) and visited in a stepfamily household (father's) on a regular basis responded to the Subjective Feelings Inventory (SFI) over a two-month period. P-technique factor analysis of the intercorrelations of repeated measurements of the items for the eight self- reported emotions measured by the SFI revealed consistent differences between the participants in factorial complexity. The analyses also showed that differences in emotional response patterns exist from one household to the next. A more complex factor pattern was found for each stepchild in the stepfamily household than in the single-parent household. A repeated measures analysis of variance to compare the intensity and range of emotion across households for each child indicated very different patterns for the two participants.
Multivariate structure of eye movement dysfunction distinguishing schizophrenia
Authors: Neufeld Richard W. J. , Mather Jennifer A. , Merskey Harold , Russell Nicholas C.
Published: May 2024

The study examined processes associated with eye-movement dysfunction (EMD) maximally discriminating paranoid and nonparanoid schizophrenic subjects from psychiatric and normal controls. Measures included the linear slope of saccade number over velocities of a ramp visual target (a measure shown effectively to distinguish schizophrenia-related EMD), along with several other measures of perceptual/cognitive processes potentially contributing to oculomotor tracking. The first significant dimension, of a multiple discriminant function analysis, was one of 'EMD as related to spatial memory'. Measures of the latter reflected efficiency in encoding properties of a visual stimulus array into a task-facilitative format. The paranoid schizophrenic subgroup had the highest scores on this dimension, normals, the lowest, and depressed psychiatric controls and nonparanoid schizophrenic patients, intermediate. A second significant dimension was one of 'manual motor speed in following a ramp visual target'. Depressives were slowest, and nonparanoid schizophrenic patients fastest. Speed of the nonparanoid patients was ascribed to extrapyramidal effects, especially tremor and akathisia. The results were discussed with respect to information processing involved in oculomotor tracking, and the effects of meditation, or dyskinesia, on manual motor tracking.
A longitudinal, structural equation analysis of stress, hardiness, social support, depression, and illness
Authors: Brookings Jeffrey B. , Bolton Brian
Published: May 2024

College undergraduates (45 males, 88 females) completed measures of life stress, depression, and physical illness on two different occasions, along with measures of hardiness at Time I and perceived social support at Time 2. Structural equation modeling analyses provided only modest support for the hypothesis that hardiness functions prospectively to buffer the effects of stress on depression, and gave no support for the assumed mitigating effects of hardiness on the stress physical illness relationship. Time 2 social support had the largest effect on Time 2 depression, while the best predictors of Time 2 physical illness were Time I physical illness (i.e., the stability coefficient) and Time 2 stress, respectively.
The Application of Deductive Method in Modeling Tourist Movement in Local Destinations
Authors: Sari Oktaviani Putri
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to develop a model of tourist movement in local destinations using the deductive method. The model is based on examining how intervening factors as determinants that have been identified previously in urban transport modeling and tourism literature can affect movement in local destinations. This study uses a literature study approach. This analysis aims to develop a model of tourist movement based on determinant factors that have been previously identified in the tourism literature. Data were analyzed using spatial analysis. The results of the study show that the model of tourist movement in local destinations consists of four main components, namely origin, destination, modes and routes. Intervening factors that influence tourist movements are sociodemographic characteristics, travel characteristics, destination characteristics, and external factors. This paper also discusses the implications and limitations of the model and suggests directions for future research.

Published: May 2024

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, presents a complex and challenging clinical scenario characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Traditional herbal medicine has garnered increasing interest as a potential adjunctive or alternative therapy for IBD, owing to its perceived efficacy, safety profile, and holistic approach to health. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of herbal interventions for IBD, addressing scientific, regulatory, clinical, and patient-related considerations. Scientifically, the exploration of herbal interventions faces challenges related to the complexity of herbal formulations, standardization, and quality control. Regulatory hurdles encompass stringent requirements for safety, efficacy, and quality standards, necessitating adherence to robust preclinical and clinical protocols. Clinically, the heterogeneity of the patient population, potential interactions with conventional therapies, and patient preferences pose challenges in the integration of herbal interventions into clinical practice.

Stress fractures are common in young and active individuals, associated with aggressive or repetitive physical activity and their early detection is fundamental to optimise patient care, decrease complications and avoid unnecessary exams. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging is the standard of care for detecting these lesions. Recently, ultrasound has been getting an increasing interest for the detection of stress fractures. In this article, we describe a clinical case that involved a second metatarsal stress fracture diagnosed by ultrasound and review the literature regarding the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis of stress fractures, particularly of the metatarsals.
Mobile Payment Service Adoption: Understanding OVO E-Wallet Customers among GEN Y and GEN Z in Bandung, West Java
Authors: Viony Regya , Widodo Arry
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to determine the factors that influence the Y and Z generation consumers in using OVO E-wallet in the city of Bandung. The analysis employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, namely performance expectancy (PE), social influence (SI), and behavioral intention (BI). The data analysis was carried out using the structural equation model (SEM-PLS) on the final data collected as many as 400 respondents. The obtained results indicated that the performance expectancy (PE) and social influence (SI) have a positive and significant effect on the behavioral intention (BI) regarding the use of OVO mobile payment. In addition, the social influence (SI) moderates the performance expectancy (PE) towards the behavioral intention (BI). Generations Y and Z have high awareness and strong enthusiasm for adopting OVO mobile payment as long as it provides benefits. One strategy to encourage the adoption of OVO mobile payments among the Y and Z generations is to facilitate financial transactions in an expeditious manner. The social influence (SI) is also a factor regarding the adoption of OVO mobile payments. This suggests that generations Y and Z rely more on advice and recommendations from important people (such as family, friends and relatives) in the adoption of OVO mobile wallet.

Sugihwaras Village is a village located in Ngancar District, Kediri Regency. The Sugihwaras Village area includes plantation areas, forestry areas and the Mount Kelud Tourism Area, which means that some economic activities take place in the agricultural and tourism sectors. A well-known agricultural commodity is pineapple with a typical mainstay product, namely "kelud “Madu” pineapple". The superiority of commodities and the implementation of tourism activities in the Mount Kelud Tourism Area has created new job opportunities, namely Kelud “Madu” Pineapple Traders. In practice, Kelud “Madu” pineapple traders are part of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and as an aspect of Tourism Amenities to support tourism activities in the Mount Kelud Tourism Area. The Kediri Regency Government also supports the potential of “Madu” pineapple in Sugihwaras Village by holding a Pineapple Festival to develop and commercialize the potential of kelud “Madu” pineapple. However, the government's objectives are still not in line with the conditions of MSMEs selling kelud “Madu” pineapples. Therefore, this research seeks to examine marketing management by Kelud “Madu” pineapple traders as supporters of the Mount Kelud Tourism Area. This research uses a qualitative method with an exploratory descriptive approach. Data collection techniques use interviews, observation and documentation. Data analysis consists of data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that marketing by kelud “Madu” pineapple traders is considered to be quite good in terms of potential, personal, operational, relationship and interaction management. The obstacles encountered by kelud “Madu” pineapple traders are related to the provision of facilities, high purchasing prices, and declining sales. Efforts made by the government include organizing festivals and community training, but there is a need for capital assistance for traders.

In the last decade, due to the lack of teachers in Quebec, the province has welcomed a significant number of foreign-trained teachers (MEES, 2018). Research on their learning assessment skills shows that, for those teachers who get used to the standards and values of the culture of assessment for sanction in their native countries, taking into account the professionnal conventions in their host environment is a major issue to their socio-professional integration (Morrissette & Demazière, 2018a). Drawing on the theoretical approach of the social justice of Rawls (1971), we conducted a collaborative research with a group of six teachers trained in foreign countries from “meritocratic” backgrounds, to shed light on their adaptation to the ethics of differentiated assessment. The analyzes suggest a consentement that developped under the rhythm of negotiated identity conversion process through a socialization of resourcefulness in four phases: negation, discovery, learning, involvement.

Authors: Alekseev Aleksei Viktorovich
Published: May 2024

The subject of the study is technology in military sports suits of Russian military personnel. The object of the study is the progress in the production technologies of military sports suits. The author examines in detail the history of the use of various materials and fabrics for the production of military sports suits, from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the properties of various materials. The author shows that fabrics with high strength, wear resistance and good breathability are most suitable for military sports suits of Russian servicemen. The fabrics used for the production of military uniforms must meet a number of requirements. At the same time, such properties of fabrics as crease, drapery, hydroscopicity, dust capacity, heat-shielding properties, shrinkage, thread shedding, thread expansion in seams, sliding should be taken into account. The main research methods were theoretical methods – the method of analysis, generalization, systematization, classification of literary sources on the research topic. The novelty of the research consists in a comprehensive analysis of the basic properties, characteristics and requirements for fabrics used for the manufacture of military suits. A retrospective analysis and comparison of costumes from different eras were carried out. The main conclusion of the study is that from the end of the 19th century to the 21st century, the use of fabrics for military clothing has undergone significant changes. It is shown that at the end of the 19th century, military clothing was mainly made from natural fabrics such as cotton, wool and linen. With the advent of synthetic fibers in the 20th century, fabrics became more durable, lightweight, quick-drying and resistant to external factors. In the 21st century, with the development of fabric production technologies for military clothing, special mixtures of natural and synthetic fibers, as well as membrane materials, began to be used to provide high protection, comfort and functionality for military personnel. The author's special contribution to the study is the generalization of the results of various studies, the comparison of the main characteristics of fabrics used in various historical times with modern fabrics and materials.

The subject of the study is the fiscal and regulatory possibilities of corporate income tax, its structural elements and their impact on the economic activity of business entities. The purpose of the study is to identify possible ways to expand the use of the fiscal and regulatory potential of corporate income tax as an important tool for stimulating economic activity. The paper provides an assessment of the level of corporate income tax revenues to the budget system of the Russian Federation, analyzes the factors constraining the realization of its fiscal potential. Special attention is paid to the analysis of corporate income tax revenues based on the materials of one of the subjects of the Russian Federation with a low level of production and investment potential – the Republic of Dagestan. The conclusion is argued that despite the excess of the growth rate of income tax to the budget over the overall growth of tax revenues, the potential for increasing budget revenues due to an increase in the tax burden has been exhausted. Considerable attention is paid to the instruments for stimulating investment activity provided for by the current tax legislation on corporate income tax. The need to achieve the set research goal led to the expediency of using a set of different methods and techniques: the transition from the general to the particular, logical inference, observation, generalization, systematization, comparison, factor analysis, synthesis, a systematic approach. The research is based on official analytical data from the Federal Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, the Federal Tax Service of Russia, as well as the Office of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the Republic of Dagestan. The scientific novelty of the study is to develop a set of recommendations aimed at realizing the fiscal and regulatory potential of income tax in the context of stimulating investment activity of organizations and reducing tax risks. The conclusion is substantiated that it is necessary to achieve an increase in corporate income tax revenues not by increasing the fiscal burden, but by fully realizing its regulatory potential as a tool to stimulate economic activity. Recommendations are formulated aimed at improving the investment tax deduction for corporate income tax as a tool to stimulate the acceleration of the renewal of worn-out fixed assets. It is noted that strategically important internal reserves for increasing income tax revenues can be both the growth of the tax base due to the intensification of economic activity of the subjects of the Russian Federation, and comprehensive solutions aimed at reducing tax risks.
