Sortition: Past and Present
Authors: JoS Editorial Board
Published: January 2025

Since ancient times sortition (random selection by lot) has been used both to distribute political office and as a general prophylactic against factionalism and corruption in societies as diverse as classical-era Athens and the Most Serene Republic of Venice. Lotteries have also been
employed for the allocation of scarce goods such as social housing and school places to eliminate bias and ensure just distribution, along with drawing lots in circumstances where unpopular tasks or tragic choices are involved (as some situations are beyond rational human decision-making).
More recently, developments in public opinion polling using random sampling have led to the proliferation of citizens' assemblies selected by lot. Some activists have even proposed such bodies as an alternative to elected representatives. The Journal of Sortition benefits from an editorial
board with a wide range of expertise and perspectives in this area. In this introduction to the first issue, we have invited our editors to explain why they are interested in sortition, and to outline the benefits (and pitfalls) of the recent explosion of interest in the topic.

Fazil Say e la Musica Turca Moderna e Contemporanea
Authors: Leone Nicoletta
Published: January 2025

All’inizio del XX secolo, il nuovo governo di Mustafa Kemal Atatürk si interessò a portare innovazione nella scena musicale turca, dando inizio ad un nuovo genere di musica turca che doveva fondere gli elementi tradizionali con lo stile compositivo occidentale. È sotto questa luce che bisogna analizzare la musica di Fazil Say (1970-): le sue composizioni sono affacci nella storia e tradizioni del suo Paese, e in ognuna di esse egli trova nuovi modi di evocare suoni e ambienti, con e senza la presenza di veri e propri strumenti tradizionali turchi. Con questo lavoro si è voluto esplorare la storia della musica turca dal Novecento ad oggi e il contributo di Fazil Say in qualità di uno dei massimi esponenti della musica del suo Paese, tramite un’analisi della forma e della struttura di due sue composizioni per violino che riassumono appieno il suo stile compositivo: la prima Sonata per violino e pianoforte e Cleopatra per violino solo.
Nuovi orizzonti di pratica e ricerca artistica nella performance. L'approccio analitico-performativo interculturale e co-creativo del progetto Re-Orient: i casi-studio dei 72 Studi Carnatici di J. Charpentier e delle Danze Argentine di A. Ginastera
Authors: Magarò Francesco , Caruso Giusy
Published: January 2025

L’articolo presenta lo sviluppo metodologico del modello analitico-performativo adottato nell’indagine di ricerca artistica di G. Caruso sui 72 Studi Carnatici di J. Charpentier (1933-2017) e successivamente esteso ad altri repertori, come le Danze Argentine di A. Ginastera (1916-1983), nel progetto artistico “Re-Orient” grazie alla collaborazione con F. Magarò. In questa ricerca, gli aspetti creativi dell’interpretazione e della performance sono combinati con una precisa analisi storico-stilistica della partitura. L’analisi performativa è stata arricchita dall’applicazione del Solkattu (un sistema di vocalizzazione della tradizione carnatica) come lente per estrapolare e interpretare la struttura interna (ritmica o scalare) di ogni studio. Durante una pratica esecutiva collaborativa, i due ricercatori hanno identificato i pattern ritmici e melodici tratti da Charpentier dalla tradizione musicale indiana ed elaborati sulla sua partitura. La semantica del modello arabo-carnatico è stato poi applicato per identificare formule tipiche delle danze argentine presenti nella partitura di Ginastera, ovvero il Malambo e la Chacarera. Questa pratica artistica collaborativa ha portato a un processo creativo in cui la notazione ha fatto da ponte tra la musica “colta” e quella “popolare” (ovvero, “extraculta” europea). Il risultato non è culminato solo nella realizzazione di un progetto artistico co-creativo, ma anche in un modello analitico-performativo coerente trasferibile ad altri repertori. Il modello analitico-performativo si è rivelato efficace nell’evidenziare gli elementi ritmici e melodici di due diverse tradizioni musicali, quella carnatica e quella argentina, a sostenere l’ipotesi che gli elementi musicali extraculturali abbiano una valenza metalinguistica. La prassi esecutiva congiunta del pianoforte e delle percussioni è diventata uno strumento storico-stilistico per estrapolare tracce di tradizioni musicali “altre” inquadrate nel linguaggio occidentale. Il risultato di questa embodied practice valida la tesi di bi-musicalità (o meglio Intermusability), ossia l’acquisizione di competenze e di abilità performative da parte di studiosi/musicisti attraverso l’esperienza di pratica artistica di sistemi musicali differenti.
Il Violino
Authors: Folegatti Ercole
Published: January 2025

Ercole Folegatti, originario di Ferrara, è stato Accademico Filarmonico di Bologna, professore Onorario di Violino dell‘Accademia S. Cecilia di Roma e socio onorario del Circolo Promotore Partenopeo“Giambattista Vico” di Napoli. Nei due volumi qui presentati, Folegatti si attiene rigidamente alle regole tecnico-strumentali presenti nei metodi di Francesco Galeazzi (1758-1819) e Bartolomeo Campagnoli (1751-1827). Ciò limita in parte l’originalità del lavoro. Tuttavia, il secondo volume ⎻ che tratta quartetti, orchestre, formazioni da camera e direttori d’orchestra ⎻ risulta molto più interessante, rivelando aspetti importanti della scena musicale italiana dell‘epoca. In tale prospettiva, il predominio assoluto dell‘Opera lirica avrebbe ostacolato la crescita della musica strumentale, penalizzando la qualità degli esecutori e delle orchestre. La musica da camera strumentale, dunque, sembrerebbe quasi del tutto scomparsa, sopravvivendo grazie all‘impegno di musicisti che, nonostante le difficoltà, riescono a organizzare ensemble, spazi dedicati alla musica da camera, società per promuovere il quartetto, concorsi cameristici, invitando anche celebri artisti stranieri a esibirsi in Italia.

Ottorino Respighi. Un iceberg sinfonico di Francesco Attardi e Lorenzo Casati è un’ampia, preziosa monografia di ultima pubblicazione per LIM che vuole portare alla luce il grande, sommerso patrimonio sinfonico di Ottorino Respighi (Bologna, 1879 – Roma, 1936), troppo spesso trascurato dalla critica di settore, cercando di svelare i molteplici aspetti umani ed artistici del compositore al fine di riscoprire, e rivalutare, il volto del Respighi sinfonista, autore non solo del famosissimo trittico Fontane, Feste e Pini di Roma ma anche di oltre quaranta composizioni per orchestra, e per solista e orchestra, di alto livello, accuratamente presentate in Appendice nel catalogo curato da Floriana Pedarra – fondatrice del Centro Studi Respighiani di Milano – sulla guida della ricerca musicologica operata dal padre, Potito Pedarra.
Carlo Mannelli, Sinfonia a Violino Solo
Authors: Nero Nella
Published: January 2025

Nel 1970 il musicologo Remo Giazotto ha scoperto l’esistenza del testamento del violinista Carlo Mannelli (1640-1697): questa scoperta ebbe una certa risonanza dal momento che, fino ad allora, scarsissime erano le notizie esistenti su Mannelli. Il presente articolo intende approfondire la conoscenza del violinista romano. In particolare, l'analisi musicale e del contesto storico della sua Sinfonia a violino solo e basso continuo mette in luce alcune peculiarità stilistiche riguardanti l'ornamentazione estemporanea, le dinamiche dell’arco e il ritmo.
IMPACT OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM IN GENERIC STUDENTS IN COLLEGE OF NURSING, NISHTAR MEDICAL UNIVERSITY MULTAN
Authors: SHAUKAT N , NISA QR , ISMAIL R
Published: January 2025

Traditional teaching methods in nursing education often fail to engage students in active learning, limiting their ability to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The flipped classroom model, which integrates pre-class independent learning with in-class active engagement, has shown promise in improving learning outcomes. Objective: To evaluate the impact of the flipped classroom model on academic performance, engagement, and perceptions among nursing students at the College of Nursing, Nishtar Medical University, Multan. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was used. A total of 130 BSN students were randomly assigned to experimental (flipped classroom) and control (traditional lecture) groups. Pre-class materials were provided to the experimental group, while the control group followed traditional lectures. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 26. Results: The flipped classroom model significantly improved post-test scores, critical thinking, and engagement levels compared to traditional methods. Most students (85%) reported that the flipped classroom approach fostered lifelong learning skills, and 90% agreed it effectively integrated theory and practice. Key challenges included limited resources and infrequent use of flipped learning by educators. Conclusion: The flipped classroom model is an effective strategy for enhancing academic performance and engagement in nursing education. Addressing barriers such as faculty training and resource limitations is essential for its successful implementation in resource-constrained settings like Pakistan.

Leadership, Gender, and School Culture: Navigating Power and Resistance in Education
Authors: Lin Shiyu
Published: January 2025

This paper investigates the ongoing gender inequalities within education systems, influenced by globalization and entrenched power dynamics that often limit gender inclusivity. Global initiatives aimed at gender equality frequently adopt a universalist approach, yet this can mask intersectional disparities and reinforce hegemonic masculinity, especially through the spread of Western masculine ideals. Within educational institutions, heteronormative and cisnormative school cultures frequently marginalize non-heterosexual identities, creating challenging environments for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) students. Although anti-discrimination policies exist, many teachers lack adequate training to address gender and sexuality issues, leading to adverse academic and social outcomes for marginalized students. The study reveals that traditional educational leadership often reinforces conventional gender norms, while transformational leadership grounded in social justice is essential to fostering inclusivity and addressing intersecting inequalities. The findings underscore the need for structural reforms to establish supportive and equitable school settings that acknowledge and celebrate diverse gender identities

Analyzing the Theme of The Everlasting Regret from the Perspective of Segmented Discourse Representation Theory
Authors: Hu Muzi
Published: January 2025

This research conducts a thematic analysis of The Everlasting Regret based on Segmented Discourse Representation Theory (SDRT), aiming to uncover its deeper meanings by exploring the text's discourse structure and rhetorical relations. Unlike traditional literary criticism approaches, this study adopts the SDRT framework, with a focus on analyzing the rhetorical relations between Compound Discourse Units (CDUs). The academic debate surrounding the theme of The Everlasting Regret is extensive, with major perspectives including allegorical, romantic, and dual-theme interpretations. Through detailed analysis, this research argues that The Everlasting Regret does not present a dual theme, but rather a single one. Moreover, this theme is not a celebration of love, but rather a subtle and nuanced form of satire. Additionally, the research offers an in-depth examination of key discourse units within the text, revealing that the rhetorical relations among them can be interpreted as Contrast, Result, and Narration. This not only highlights the complexity of discourse coherence and textual structure, but also suggests a potential intrinsic link among these three rhetorical relations.
The Role of Internal Risk Governance in Improving Bank Performance: A Theoretical Perspective
Authors: Mu Qianyu
Published: January 2025

Internal risk governance is a critical determinant of bank performance, influencing stability and profitability within a complex and dynamic financial environment. This study examines the mechanisms by which internal risk governance affects the performance of Chinese city commercial banks (CCBs) through the lenses of Principal-Agent Theory and Risk Management Theory. Specifically, the research explores the interplay among internal governance, capital regulation pressures, ownership concentration, income diversification, and risk-taking behavior. The findings reveal that enhanced internal risk governance mitigates risk-taking behaviors, thereby improving bank performance. Conversely, increased capital regulation pressures and higher ownership concentration are linked to elevated risk-taking and reduced performance. Additionally, income diversification is shown to decrease risk-taking while positively impacting bank performance. This study provides new insights into the theoretical and practical dimensions of risk management, offering implications for strategic decision-making, regulatory oversight, and policy formulation aimed at strengthening the resilience of city commercial banks.

Green Bond Policy and Corporate ESG Performance
Authors: Ge Houwen
Published: January 2025

In recent years, green bonds, as a new type of financial instrument, have gradually become an important tool for promoting corporate green transformation and improving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. Based on data from A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2020, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of the 2015 green bond policy guidelines on corporate ESG ratings and its mechanisms using the difference-in-differences (DID) method. The study finds that the implementation of the green bond policy significantly improves corporate ESG ratings and indirectly promotes improvements in environmental protection, social responsibility, and governance structure by reducing financing costs. In addition, this paper reveals the heterogeneous effects of the green bond policy across different regions, types of enterprises, and industries. It finds that the policy has a more significant effect in economically developed regions and non-state-owned enterprises, while its impact is relatively weaker in the central and northeastern regions. Mechanism analysis shows that the reduction in financing costs plays an important mediating role in enhancing corporate ESG performance through the green bond policy. This paper provides empirical support for policymakers to optimize green finance policies and offers new perspectives for companies to use green bonds to improve their sustainable development capabilities.

Language Diversity: Perceptions of Students towards Multilingual Instruction in Higher Education Pedagogy under NEP 2020
Authors: Saini Mohit
Published: January 2025

Speaking multiple languages can take the aplomb at high level. The quality of teaching completely depends on the instruction given by the teacher in the classroom that enable students in acquiring the subject knowledge. Linguistic barrier sometimes occurs when students are taught in the classroom using a language that cannot be understood by the students. It is observed that students from different places get disconnected due to different native languages. In order to overcome such issues that are encountered by the students, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in India has brought a transformative change in the educational landscape, focusing on the importance of multilingualism in higher education. The policy focuses on the use of mother tongue and regional languages as mediums of classroom instruction. Some prior findings suggest that majorly students possess positive attitude towards multilingualism in education, associating it with vitrified comprehension and retention. However, the research also highlights significant concerns that cannot be neglected. Students expressed worries about the practical implementation of multilingual instruction in higher education due to the varying proficiency levels. There are also some significant concerns about the competency of teachers in executing multilingual approach in classroom instruction as it requires training.
Learners' Conceptions of Language: An Exploration of Potential Contributions from Folk Linguistics
Authors: Aragües y Oroz Ignacio
Published: January 2025

Despite the abundance of studies on learners' beliefs in the field of second language acquisition, very few have addressed learners' conceptions of the language itself. In this article, we argue that examining these conceptions is crucial for understanding the beliefs and attitudes students hold towards other languages and their learning processes. Specifically, we observe how a prescriptive view of language can influence students' expectations regarding the nature of the content being learned. Additionally, we note that the notion of correctness is often imprecise and ambiguous within the educational context. Furthermore, we explore how learners' conceptions about language components are intricately linked to their expectations about language learning. In particular, we observe that an emphasis on words as the primary object of learning can be detrimental to sociopragmatic factors. Moreover, we note that the folk conception of meaning as a rigid and context-independent entity can lead to a naïve universalist perspective, privileging the L1 as a means to understand and evaluate the L2. To delve into learners' conceptions of language, we propose the use of qualitative methods grounded in folk linguistics. Folk linguistics is the study of non-linguists' beliefs and ideas about language and language learning, including how they perceive and describe language use.  This approach involves the study of metalanguage through discoursal data, which can be gathered both through metacognitive and contextual approaches. Additionally, we suggest that understanding the folklinguistic notions held by educators and those embedded in teaching materials is significant in this line of research, as it can help in designing and implementing educational interventions that are more closely aligned with learners' pre-existing conceptions, potentially leading to improved learning outcomes.
