On the Term con discrezione in the Music of the Era of Gallant Mannerism and Classicism
Authors: Панов Алексей Анатольевич , Розанов Иван Васильевич
Published: February 2023

В статье рассматриваются вопросы интерпретации музыкально-исполнительского термина con discrezione и роль последнего в терминосистеме музыкальной культуры европейских стран эпохи галантного маньеризма и классицизма. В процессе анализа многочисленных свидетельств из исторических документов того времени - словарей и энциклопедий, методических руководств и теоретических трактатов, нотных изданий - авторы приходят к выводу, что противоречия в толковании значения лексемы con discrezione музыкантами XVII века поэтапно сменяет синтез. В теории и практике музыкального искусства второй половины XVIII - первой половины XIX столетия выражение con discrezione утверждается как полисемантическая конструкция, точный смысл которой определяется всякий раз в строгой зависимости от конкретного контекста. Помимо контекста, как настойчиво подчеркивают старинные музыканты, решающую роль здесь как в сольной, так и в ансамблевой игре, играют вкус, знания и опыт исполнителей-практиков.

The article discusses the interpretation of the musical and performing term con discrezione and the role of the latter in the terminological system (terminosystem) of the musical culture in European countries during the era of gallant mannerism and classicism. In the process of analyzing numerous evidences from historical documents of that time - dictionaries and encyclopedias, methodical manuals and theoretical treatises, music publications - the authors arrived to the conclusion that contradictions in the interpretation of the meaning of the lexeme con discrezione by musicians of the 17th century were gradually replaced by a synthesis understanding. In the theory and practice of musical art of the second half of the 18th - first half of the 19th century, the expression con discrezione is asserted as a polysemantic construction, the exact meaning of which is determined each time in strict dependence on the specific context. Besides the context, as the early musicians persistently emphasize, taste, knowledge and experience of practicing performers have a decisive significance here in both solo and ensemble playing.

Akuammine (1) and pseudo-akuammigine (2) are indole alkaloids found in the seeds of the akuamma tree (Picralima nitida). Both alkaloids are weak agonists of the mu opioid receptor (µOR); however, they produce minimal effects in animal models of antinociception. To probe the interactions of 1 and 2 at the opioid receptors, we have prepared a collection of 22 semi-synthetic derivatives. Evaluation of this collection at the µOR and kappa opioid receptor (κOR) revealed structural-activity relationship trends and derivatives with improved potency at the OR. Most notably, the introduction of a phenethyl moiety to the N1 of 2 produces a 70-fold increase in potency and a 7-fold increase in selectivity for the µOR. The in vitro potency of this compound resulted in increased efficacy in the tail-flick and hot-plate assays of antinociception. The improved potency of these derivatives highlights the promise of exploring natural product scaffolds to probe the opioid receptors.

Amphiphilic structured PEG derivatives consisting of octa(ethylene glycol) chains connected with aromatic vertices inhibited the thermally-induced lysozyme aggregation even when present at below 0.1 mM concentration. This concentration range is close to a 1:1 molar ratio with the additive and lysozyme, and was completely inaccessible for previously reported stabilizers. The possible mechanisms of the stabilizing actions revealed that the PEG-based amphiphiles do not in fact prevent aggregation at the molecular level, as assumed before, but rather prevent macroscopic precipitation of the denatured protein molecules and enable dissolution of them to the native, folded state at ambient temperature. The stabilizers do not interact with properly folded native lysozyme and therefore do not affect its natural catalytic properties, indicating a potential for practical use in protein-based therapeutics.
A local Gaussian Processes method for fitting potential surfaces that obviates the need to invert large matrices
Authors: Carrington Tucker , Yang Nuoyan , Hill Spencer , Manzhos Sergei
Published: February 2023

In order to compute a vibrational spectrum, one often wishes to start with a set of ab initio Born-Oppenheimer potential values at points, called fitting points, and interpolate or fit to find values of the potential at quadrature or collocation points. It is common to do this once to build a potential energy surface (PES). Once the PES is known, it can be evaluated at any point in configuration space. Gaussian Process (GP) is frequently being used to make a PES. As is the case in other interpolation methods, to use GP one must store and invert a matrix whose size is the number of fitting points. The matrix is sometimes large enough that approximations are introduced to reduce the cost of the calculation. We show that is possible to use many local Gaussian Process fits rather than one global fit. Retaining only local Gaussians and the associated points works well despite the fact that other Gaussians have tails with significant amplitude in the local region. We demonstrate that from the potential values obtained from the local fits it is possible to compute accurate energy levels of formaldehyde. In one calculation, potential values were obtained with N = 120, 000 fitting points by inverting matrices of size less than m = 400. The local idea reduces the cost from N^3 to T(m3 + N), where T is the number of desired potential points.

Bumble bees are important pollinators for a great diversity of wild and cultivated plants, and in many parts of the world certain species have been found to be in decline, gone locally extinct, or even globally extinct. A large number of symbionts live on, in, or with these social bees. We give an overview of what is known about bumble bee ecto-symbionts and parasitoids. We provide information on assessment of risks posed by select bumble bee symbionts and methods for their detection, quantification, and control. In addition, we assess honey bee hive products such as pollen and wax that are used in commercial bumble bee production, and highlight key risks and knowledge gaps. Knowledge of these potential threats to native pollinators is important and they need to be managed in the context of national and international commercial trade in bumble bees to prevent pest introduction and pathogen spillover that can threaten native bees.

The Treaty of 358 B.C. between Rome and the Latin Communities
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Kazan, 420008 Russia, Shmeleva L.M.
Published: February 2023

This article considers the international position of the Roman Republic during the first half of the 4th century B.C., from the Gallic invasion to the conclusion (or renewal) of the union treaty with the Latin League in 358 B.C. Rome’s relations with the Latin communities and neighboring tribes and states are analyzed. The ways used by it to establish and maintain its hegemony in the region of Central Italy are discussed: unleashing war, granting citizenship rights, and removing colonies. It is worth noting that the Romans were more inclined to choose war. Special attention is paid to the agreement of 358 B.C. that eventually formalized and enshrined the unequal position of Rome and the Latin communities. Inte¬restingly, the ancient authors did not cite the text of the treaty, but the subsequent events show that Rome and the Latins either had entered into a new treaty or renewed the old one. The historiography speaks of a new agreement between them, and this agreement was concluded on more favorable terms for Rome. From the events that unfolded in the second half of the 4th century B.C., it becomes clear that the new conditions were the obligation to supply Rome with military contingents and the use of the resources of the Latin communities to support the Roman conquests.
Social Compromise in Victorian England within the Research Field of the New Social History
Authors:   Institute of World History, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119334 Russia, Shabunina A.K.
Published: February 2023

This article is devoted to the methodology for studying the practice of social compromise in Victorian society in the context of the evolution of the modern scientific paradigm and the transformation of the space of scientific search. The current scientific focus of the new social history puts sociocultural practices at the center of its concern. From a methodological perspective, the latter are implicitly governed by the inherent principle of interdisciplinarity, as shown here using the example of the social processes in Victorian England. The practice of social consensus, which has been shaped through the research process, is helpful to consider, using the sociocultural approach, the social and cultural components of the evolution of Victorian society. The results obtained demonstrate that a complex of economic, political, and social practices developed during the period under study, and it significantly changed the sociocultural landscape of public relations in England. The formation of these practices was influenced by the following features characteristic of Victorian society: consistent electoral reforms, the legalization of trade unions, the spread of cooperatives, the democratization of government institutions, the emigration of low-skilled workers, the formation of a new social ideology, and the increase in the educational level of workers. As a form of conflict resolution, the consensus was reached through the prism of combining cultural norms and values of the polar strata of society, where the expanding middle class acted as a stabilizer of the common worldview space. The English social compromise was formed under the conditions of both industrial and imperial successes, made it possible to overcome the socioeconomic crisis, and laid the foundations of the modern European political strategy for pre-empting possible causes of conflict. The most important finding of this investigation is that the constructed research model of social compromise can be expanded by complicating the subject of research and by restructuring epistemologically the historian’s tools while using the multidimensionality of the transdisciplinary approach and further pushing the boundaries of research.
V.K. Malmberg, the Classic of the Russian Study of Antiquity: The Kazan Period in His Biography
Authors:   Kazan Federal University, Kazan, 420008 Russia, Sychenkova L.A.
Published: February 2023

This article considers the Kazan period in V.K. Malmberg’s life. The circle of Kazan secondary school teachers and university lecturers in the intellectual space of Kazan during the second half of the 19th century is reconstructed. The influence of the family members and the German diaspora in Kazan on the development of V.K. Malmberg’s worldview is analyzed. These relationships determined his choice of profession as a historian of ancient art. His deep love for antiquity was cultivated by D.F. Belyaev, a classical philologist and prominent professor at Kazan University. It is revealed that the unrestricted access to Kazan University’s library collection of the latest literature on ancient art directed V.K. Malmberg’s line of reasoning. With a careful study of these materials came a good foundation for his subsequent research, which is proved by the recently published evidence from the epistolary collection of the Austrian National Library. It was at the Museum of Antiquities and Arts of Kazan University where he gained his first experience with teaching and working on museum collections. The hypothesis is put forward that V.K. Malmberg learned about A. Dürer’s works and style in Kazan because he explored the museum collection of Western European engravings available there. Future prospects for investigating the early stages of V.K. Malmberg’s professional endeavors are outlined.

La acuicultura peruana está en auge, por lo que amerita tecnificarla abordando una perspectiva sostenible y competitiva. El objetivo de la revisión fue identificar el panorama actual de la acuicultura peruana y los factores que limitan su desarrollo; así mismo, analizar los beneficios del uso de herramientas tecnológicas en la acuicultura. Para ello, se aplicó una metodología de revisión basado en tres fases: i) elaboración de la pregunta de investigación; ii) búsqueda de documentos; y ii) revisión y selección de estudios. Se utilizó motor de búsqueda google académico, bases de datos Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science (WOS), Scielo y Redalyc. La revisión permitió afirmar que, la acuicultura en Perú es desarrollada en pocas regiones y con escasas especies. Según PNIPA, los factores que limitan su desarrollo están relacionados al incumplimiento de normas sanitarias vigentes, embarcaciones no inscritas en Registros Públicos y la ausencia de controles de acreditación para pescadores artesanales.
La tecnificación en el proceso de alimentación permite reducir costos operativos. Los sensores permiten visualizar la variación de los parámetros en tiempo real reduciendo el índice de mortalidad en los peces. El conteo y clasificación automática reduce el estrés del pez y evita el perjuicio económico de la producción. Se concluye que, para lograr la tecnificación acuícola, se deben realizar trabajos articulados entre gobierno y productores, implantando políticas y estrategias que garanticen mayor rentabilidad y sostenibilidad en el tiempo.

Published: February 2023

Fruit classification is an important task in many agriculture industry. The fruit classification system can be used to identify the types and prices of fruit. Manual classification of fruit is not efficient for large amount of fruits. The advancement of information technology has made possible fruit classification be done by a machine. This research aims to propose a fruit classification methodology based on shape and color. To reduce the effect of lighting variability a color normalization is carried out prior to feature extraction. The color features used in this research are mean and standard deviation. The shape features are area, perimeter, and compactness. The classification of an unknown fruit is carried out using the nearest mean classifier. The method developed in this research is tested using 12 classes of fruits where each class is represented by a number of samples. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this research provides an accuracy of 95.83% for two samples per class and 100% for three samples per class. Experiment on small training samples has been conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed combined nearest mean classifiers and results obtained showed that the technique was able to provide good accuracy.

Published: February 2023

Salah satu potensi ekosistem pesisir yang cukup luas ada di perairan Teluk Ambon Dalam adalah ekosistem mangrove. Ancaman bagi ekosistem mangrove yang ada di perairan Teluk Ambon adalah aktivitas yang berlangsung di sekitarnya (antropogenik). Adanya beberapa sungai yang bermuara di Teluk Ambon menjadi pendukung masuknya buangan/limbah dari darat. Logam berat Pb dan Cd telah terdeteksi pada air laut di perairan Teluk Ambon, sehingga dianggap penting untuk melakukan penelitian pada sedimen ekosistem mangrove. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui konsentrasi logam berat (Pb dan Cd) dalam sedimen pada ekosistem mangrove Teluk Ambon. Penentuan titik pengambilan sampel sedimen pada ekosistem mangrove dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Analisis sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Nitric Acid-Perchloric Acid Digestion. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi logam berat Plumbum (Pb) berkisar antara 18,25-35,98 mg/kg dan Cadmium (Cd) 1,57-2,70 mg/kg. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa, Pb walaupun didapati dalam konsentrasi yang cukup tinggi namun belum melampaui ambang batas toksik, sementara Cd telah mendekati ambang batas toksik. Secara keseluruhan dapat disimpulkan bahwa, sedimen telah terkontaminasi logam berat Pb dan Cd namun belum berpengaruh pada ekosistem mangrove, dan merupakan indikasi bahwa terjadi filtrasi alami.
Pre-election debates in times of COVID-19: how the virus is used as a weapon in the war for the US presidency
Authors:   1 Decembrie 1918 University of Alba Iulia, Romania, Botaș Adina
Published: February 2023

This paper proposes a pragma-rhetorical analysis of discourse-in-interaction, focusing on several ironic and sarcastic COVID-related verbal exchanges between the finalists to the most recent presidential election in the US. The sequences submitted to analysis were extracted from the first of the two debates that took place before the election. With a general “negative tone”, according to post-debate tolls, repeatedly labelled by commentators and journalists as “the worst presidential debate ever seen”, the confrontation between the candidates to presidency has numerous moments of reference to COVID-19, all turning the virus into a verbal weapon (Jankélévich 1964) of attack against the opponent. As the presidential ethos (Charaudeau 2005) and the formalised setting of pre-election debates (Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2013) require, in this genre of discourse in interaction protagonists often resort to highly sophisticated forms of attack, which are aimed to damage the image of the opponent and benefit the one of the attackers, at the same time (Charaudeau 2015). The COVID-19 pandemic crisis represented a pivotal aspect of the election campaign strategies of the finalists to the 2020 run-off, presenting contrastive, conflicting perspectives, and is an extensive subject of controversy all through the interaction, despite having been dedicated one of the six sections of the debate. Candidates present strong opposing positions on basically all aspects concerning the novel coronavirus. When it comes to how it had been handled up to the moment of the debate, protagonists trace a clear line between praising the “phenomenal job” the actual president claims to have done and blaming the total lack of plan and basically no effective action for mitigating the spread of the virus, accused by the democrat candidate. The then president’s repeatedly expressed short shrift to wearing masks, as opposed to his opponent’s fervour towards it, the country’s present economic situation, or its borders policies, as they have been affected by the pandemic, are only a few of the contexts in which COVID-19 becomes a motive alleged in order to disqualify the other, up to the point where appellatives such as “clown” are being employed. Considering that talk-in-interaction, and especially face-to-face interaction, are defined by the particularity of discursive co-construction, as well as the negotiation of social and contextual identities (Kerbrat-Orecchioni 2005), given the high percent of fresh talk (Goffman 1981), despite the permanent efforts put into face-work (Goffman 1967), pre-election debates are always an interesting space for undertaking any investigation, from a linguistic point of view, even more so in these undoubtedly “perilous times”, as the press likes to refer to the current phase of our history.
On didactic and methodological implications of teaching translation to undergraduates

Published: February 2023

The aim of the research in this paper was to assess the didactic and methodological specifics of teaching translation in English undergraduate studies, with a particular focus on the compound and complex sentence structures that are considered to be the greatest challenge when performing translation tasks. The paper consists of three parts: The first provides an overview of the relevant references in translation studies, the second presents a discussion of specific didactic and methodological models in teaching translation, and the third illustrates the types of restructuring of parts of the surface structure in the source language into the target language. The empirical part of the paper was conducted using a sample of undergraduates who had attended translation courses during the academic year 2019/2020. The main premise was that the syntactically specific form of a complex sentence in both the source language and the target language (English and Serbian, respectively) represented the biggest challenge in the comprehension and translation of particular text types, and that the success of the translation was dependent on the teaching material selected, the teaching models and the linguistic competence of the students, as well as on the ability of the teacher to evoke some extralinguistic elements in the students’ personalities, such as empathy, stereotypes and curiosity. Another premise was that the restructuring of the relevant elements would be partially successful. The main finding of the assessment was that the best results of the detailed planning, preparation and evaluation of the translation teaching process were achieved via careful and detailed class planning. The interactive model was shown to be the most appropriate and most curiosity-provoking teaching model with regard to teaching translation, while its application and applicability implies multifaceted material and technical class planning.

Object. The object of the study is health care institutions. Methodology. The information base of the study was formed by legislative and regulatory documents, periodicals, electronic resources. The work uses general scientific and special methods: monographic research, generalization, systematization. This made it possible to consider the impact of modern environmental factors on the functions and responsibilities of managers in health care institutions. Also to explore the modern competencies and tasks of managers and their impact on the activities of health care institutions. Results. The role of managers and their influence on the activities of health care institutions are considered. The influence of modern environmental factors on the functions and responsibilities of managers in health care institutions is analyzed. The purpose of health care institutions is considered. Two spheres of management of managers are defined: external and internal. The main competencies of managers in health care institutions are considered. The necessity of performing additional duties by managers in today's unstable economic conditions is substantiated. The modern tasks of managers and their impact on the activities of health care institutions are analyzed. Value/originality. It is found that when managing health care institutions, managers must take into account endogenous and exogenous challenges to make effective management decisions and manage the quality of health care institutions. It is determined that the key competencies of an effective manager are conceptual, technical and interpersonal skills. It is concluded that in modern conditions the heads of medical institutions also face new challenges, which are determined by such modern trends as: management in difficult conditions, management in conditions of constant change, management in a creative way. Conclusion. In today's volatile economic environment, healthcare managers must develop critical new skills and competencies to ensure the effective development of healthcare institutions. Healthcare managers must also continuously improve them in accordance with market requirements. When managing health care institutions, managers must take into account endogenous and exogenous challenges to make effective management decisions and quality management of health care institutions. Constant changes in environmental factors lead to changes in the competence and responsibility of health care managers.
CUSTOMER ORIENTATION OF THE BANK AS THE BASIS OF THE CUSTOMER-ORIENTED BUSINESS MODEL OF THE BANK
Authors: Rudevska Viktoriia
Published: February 2023

The main purpose of this study is to deepen the theoretical foundations of defining the content of the concept of "customer focus" and assessing the level of customer focus, as well as to provide a practical perspective on the customer-oriented activities of the bank. The study covers a set of issues related to the allocation of customer focus as an independent object of management in the bank, characterization of the methodology for assessing the level of customer focus of the banking institution and determining the directions of improving the customer focus of the bank as an important element of the banking business, the main effect of which should be an increase in profits in the process of the bank. The methodology of the study, which reveals the topic of the article, is: analysis and synthesis of the theoretical basis for the content of the concept of "customer focus", its generalization and decomposition of approaches to defining the content of customer focus; the method of synthesis is used in the process of defining the concept. Also, in the process of research and implementation of its goals, general scientific and analytical methods of assessing the level of customer focus were used. Results. The study of the content of customer orientation based on the decomposition of different approaches to its definition allowed to formulate the author's definition of customer orientation in the bank as a tool of partnership between the bank and consumers to meet the needs of the latter, as well as to prevent their expectations, aimed at obtaining a constant long-term income by the bank due to the key competencies of its staff and the transition to a customer-oriented model of banking institution. The author's definition differs from the existing ones in that it considers customer orientation at two levels of interaction with customers: at the level of the bank as an organizational structure and at the level of personnel who contact with customers directly and indirectly, and also focuses on the bank's orientation to the desires and needs of the customer and the ability to anticipate them. Without equating the level of customer satisfaction with the level of customer focus, it can be said that there is a logical connection between these concepts and conclude that the measurement of customer NPS can be used as an indicator of customer focus. Practical implications. In the world banking practice, the introduction of NPS calculation is widely used and influences the decision-making process regarding the bank's business model, in which customer focus plays a key role. The ways of increasing the level of customer orientation of the staff and implementing a customer-oriented business model of the bank, highlighted by the author, have a wide prospect of further implementation in the activities of financial institutions.
Quality Decisions Based on Time between Events Data Analysis
Authors: Galetto Fausto
Published: February 2023

Good decisions (Quality Decisions) depend on scientific analysis of data. Data are collected, generally, in two ways: 1) one sample of suitable size, 2) subsequent samples, at regular intervals of time. Often the data are considered normally distributed. This is wrong because the data must be analysed according to their distribution: Decisions are different. In several cases the data are exponentially distributed: we see how to scientifically deal with Control Charts (CC) to decide; this is opposite to what gives the T Charts that are claimed to be a good method for dealing with “rare events”: The Minitab Software (19 & 20 & 21) for “T Charts” is considered. The author will compare some methods, found in the literature with the author’s Theory RIT (Reliability Integral Theory): We will see various cases found in the literature. Classical Shewhart Control Charts and the TBE (Time Between Events) Control Charts have been considered: it appears that with RIT the future decisions will be both sounder and cheaper, for data is exponentially distributed. The novelty of the paper is in the scientific way of dealing with the Control Charts and their Control Limits, both with normally distributed data and with exponentially distributed data. In this way, a lot of wrong published papers on “Time Between Events” are to be discarded, even if their authors claim “We used Standard Statistical methods, typical in the vast literature of similar papers”. The author had to self-cite because it seems the only one that has been fighting for years for “Papers Quality”; he humbly asked the readers to inform him if some people did the same

Authors: Deepak Kumar Pradhan  , M Sudhahar
Published: February 2023

In supercritical boiler Startup Vent diffuser is to manage the instant release of huge amounts high pressure of steam to low pressure into atmosphere while cutting of the noise produced while venting the steam in different temperature and pressure conditions. The upstream pressure of startup vent is around 81 kg/sq.cm. so for reducing pressure from 81 kg/cm2 to 3kg/cm2 with constant flow one diffusers (reducing stage assy.) will introduce which will diffuse the pressure. Startup Vent diffuser is a design a reducing stage assembly (called a multistage diffuser) along with study of hydrodynamic parameter like Beta ratio, Mach number, and numerical calculation of orifice plate thickness, size of orifice hole & Bending stress evaluation, reducer etc.
Decarbonizing the future: Understanding carbon capture, utilization, and storage methods
Authors: Anvita Abhijit Bhate  , Elizabeth Biju Joseph
Published: February 2023

Carbon capture refers to the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, or directly at the source of its emissions. The latter employs chemical engineering to design capture systems for industries. Aqueous amine scrubbing makes use of amine based solvents to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas streams. The carbon, once captured, is compressed and redirected for either reutilisation or storage. In enhanced oil recovery, the CO2 is injected into oil and gas reservoirs to increase their extraction. Carbon storage methods work to remove the carbon from the atmosphere, and aid mitigation against carbon emissions from industry, thereby reducing the contribution to global warming and ocean acidification. This paper aims to provide the readers with an understanding of the technologies involved in the above processes.
Base isolation retrofitting design for the existing 2-story stone building and its Conversion into a 3-Story kindergarten
Authors: Mikayel G. Melkumyan
Published: February 2023

Recently the Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA) has approached the author of this paper with the request to carry out base isolation retrofitting design for the existing 2-story building with stone bearing walls and to simultaneously convert it into a 3-story kindergarten. In Armenia seismic isolation of existing buildings is becoming a more common method of providing protection from earthquake damage. Thanks to the author’s works in nowadays Armenia is well known as a country where seismic (base and roof) isolation systems are widely implemented in construction of new and retrofitting of existing buildings. The number of seismically isolated buildings per capita in Armenia is one of the highest in the world – second after Japan. The paper given below emphasizes that Armenia achieved significant results also in local manufacturing/testing of seismic isolation laminated rubber-steel bearings (SILRSBs). Several remarkable projects on retrofitting by base isolation of the existing buildings like apartment, school, hotel and hospital buildings are briefly mentioned in the paper to demonstrate the retrofitting experience accumulated in Armenia. Based on the gained experience further developments take place and unique base isolation structural concepts and technologies created by the author are applied more and more to the existing buildings. In this paper base isolation retrofitting design and analysis by the Armenian Seismic Code for the 2-story building with stone bearing walls is described. This will be a first application of base isolation retrofitting technology to an existing stone building with simultaneous increase of the number of its floors by one. The other important factor is that applied structural concept allows retrofitting by base isolation when reconstruction works in superstructure and construction of the additional 3-rd floor were going on in the same time.
