Authors: Monte Edson Zambon , Souza Renzo Caliman , Moreira Ricardo Ramalhe
Published: April 2023

This study analyzed the financial interrelations between Brazil and selected foreign economies (United States (US), Germany, United Kingdom (UK), Japan and China) during and after the Subprime crisis, using three financial market indicators: stock market index, exchange rate and interest rate. The Vector Autoregressive approach and the Granger causality test were used, with daily data. The periods considered were: i) period of crisis (03/14/2007 to 03/31/2010); and ii) post-crisis period (04/01/2010 to 12/30/2019). The results revealed that in the Subprime crisis, the interrelations were intense, especially in the stock and exchange markets. IBOVESPA and Brazilian exchange rate were predominantly affected by the US, German and UK equity markets. Evidence in the post-crisis period showed considerably lesser interrelationships between the Brazilian financial market and foreign financial markets. Thus, the results confirmed that the crisis significantly intensified interrelations, with the main contagion channels as the stock markets and the foreign exchange markets.

Nigeria is one of the few nations in the world that prioritizes educational excellence. Teachers play an essential role in their students' development both academically and personally; therefore, it is imperative that they possess qualities such as subject matter expertise, ethical and intellectual vigilance, a genuine interest in their students, and the competence to carry out their duties effectively. This is only possible with sufficient training and seminar participation. Teachers may benefit from going to a seminar in many ways, including improving their communication skills, learning new information, making new connections, and becoming re-inspired. In order to ensure that the stated goals are met, a teacher must take on several hats in the classroom. He takes on the responsibilities of a parent and a confidant in addition to those of a boss, depending on the circumstances. All of these can be modified to improve schooling standards. In light of this, this paper investigates how teachers' pedagogical practices and participation in professional development opportunities like conferences and seminars contribute to improving education quality in Nigeria.

Authors: Mousazadeh Farideh , Baghelani Yar-Mohammad , Rahimi Shamsi
Published: April 2023

Tramadol is a centrally-acting analgesic used for treating moderate to severe acute and chronic pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation that occurs most commonly as a result of tissue injury. Tramadol possesses agonist actions at the μ-opioid receptor and effects reuptake at the noradrenergic and serotonergic systems. In the last years, several analytical procedures have been published in the literature for the determination of tramadol from pharmaceutical formulations and biological matrices. Electrochemical methods have attracted tremendous attention for the quantification of this drug owing to their demonstrated potential for quick response, real-time measurements, elevated selectivity and sensitivity. In this review, we highlighted the recent advances and applications of nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors for the analysis and detection of tramadol, which is extremely important for the indication of effective diagnoses and for quality control analyses in order to protect human health. Also, the main challenges in developing nanomaterials-based electrochemical sensors for the determination of tramadol will be discussed. At last, this review offers prospects for the future research and development needed for modified electrode sensing technology for the detection of tramadol.

Preservation/Restoration 101 - Some Theoretical Perspectives
Authors: Tran Tan Phuc
Published: April 2023

On April 12, 2023, photos of a newly restored French villa in Hanoi with a budget of 14 billion VND were published. Discussions were rigorous with the participation of the public and architects about the seemingly new and strange color of the villa. Many references to the original colors have been provided. The case seems to end on April 14, 2023, when the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem District claimed that the current colors are just studies, not official color of the work. This article does not specifically discuss this case. The writer wants to take this opportunity to provide some background theories in architectural conservation - restoration, which has not been discussed much with the public in Vietnam. The writer admits that the approach is somewhat biased towards Preservation than Restoration, partly due to past training and work experience. TLDR: Preservation - Restoration are two opposing approaches with their own advantages and disadvantages. Most of the world heritage interventions are a combination of these two. Above all, this confrontation is still an open discussion, and is still evolving.
Le continuum sonore dans Arrival comme pratique exemplaire du montage sonore : la différenciation et l’invention de l’écoute au cinéma
Authors: Dallaire Frédéric , Gervais Simon
Published: April 2023

Le film de science-fiction Arrival (Premier Contact, 2016), du cinéaste Denis Villeneuve, est un cas de figure exemplaire des échanges entre musique et design sonore puisqu’il fait du brouillage des frontières, qui délimitent bruit, musique et paroles, le moteur de sa réflexion philosophique et esthétique.Ces échanges tracent une continuité conceptuelle qui influence les gestes de création, le choix des matériaux sonores et les rapports de composition entre les sons. Dans le contexte du film Arrival, la notion de continuum sonore permet aux artisans du design sonore d’explorer leur « sensibilité musicale » et au compositeur de musique de mettre en œuvre sa « sensibilité cinématographique ».Mises en relation, ces sensibilités s’enrichissent, se relancent et permettent de décrire la complexité de l’expérience du son au cinéma.À l’aide d’entretiens avec les artisans du film et d’analyses des composantes de la bande sonore, cet article étudie la circulation des écoutes qui caractérise le processus de création sonore cinématographique.
Fantastic Beasts and their Sonic Nature
Authors: Webster Jamie Lynn
Published: April 2023

This article explores sound designs for the five distinct collaborations across the eight Harry Potter films, each of which carved new ways of achieving story cohesion and continuity, and for seeing, hearing, and caring about Harry’s journey. Particularly when we examine the role of animals, we find sound that intermediates between the known and unknown, distilling themes and subtexts, and revealing inner conflicts. I give special attention to the fifth and sixth films (Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince) in which audio elements are sensually integrated, allowing us to understand narratives through feeling and physical sensation rather than prescriptive cueing. Musicalised sound effects introduce underscore; underscore takes over for effects in this powerfully nuanced approach that makes space for viewers to experience—rather than merely witness—how Harry navigates varied spheres and circumstances. Further, this approach makes a critical impact on the emotional arc of the story, significantly deepening viewer experience of Harry’s most transformative personal and emotional moments.
Refonder Alien : création musicale et sonore dans Prometheus et Alien: Covenant (Ridley Scott, 2012, 2017)
Authors: Huvet Chloé
Published: April 2023

Plus de trente ans après Alien, le 8e passager (1979), Ridley Scott opère une refondation du mythe du xénomorphe dont il est l’initiateur par le prisme de deux préquels lointains, Prometheus (2012) et Alien: Covenant (2017). Pour autant, ce retour aux sources exclut chez Scott l’entrave créatrice du respect scrupuleux de l’héritage : Prometheus et Covenant initient un nouveau départ, porteurs d’interrogations nouvelles au sein de la saga. Peu de travaux académiques leur ont pourtant été consacrés, tandis que leurs bandes sonores restent un point aveugle de la recherche cinémusicologique récente en dépit de leur singularité.À l’échelle des deux films, l’approche musicale et sonore met en exergue le déploiement d’un récit bicéphale en deux fils narratifs déclinant la thématique de l’origine de façon opposée et complémentaire : interrogation sur la création de l’homme et l’existence ; genèse du xénomorphe. Les sound designers et leurs équipes ont également à charge de recréer et de repenser l’univers biomécanique oppressant constitutif de la signature sonore de la franchise, en réimaginant les sons du xénomorphe, mais aussi plus largement en reconfigurant l’articulation entre sons et images de façon sensible et incarnée.Entrecroisant approche formelle, narratologique et esthétique par le biais des outils de la cinémusicologie, de l’analyse filmique et du champ théorique, notre article propose ainsi d’étudier de quelles manières la musique et le son de Prometheus et Covenant, partagés entre fascination et terreur, contribuent à donner corps aux nouvelles orientations scottiennes propres aux deux préquels, et s’inscrivent dans une optique de refondation de l’univers d’Alien. Nous verrons tout d’abord la façon duelle dont le retour aux sources de la mythologie d’Alien dans Prometheus et Covenant se déploie à la musique et au sound design autour des origines de l’Homme et de la genèse du monstre. Nous établirons ensuite comment l’univers sonore des deux préquels donne forme et remodèle l’univers biomécanique oppressant de la saga par des matériaux sonores aux frontières mouvantes, au sein d’une approche haptique et sensorielle généralisée.
Aux confins de la musique et du design sonore
Authors: Bobée Emmanuelle
Published: April 2023

Dès ses débuts derrière la caméra, David Lynch est convaincu de l’importance du son dans le récit filmique. Cet article retrace son cheminement dans le domaine de la création sonore et musicale, en mettant en évidence la mutation progressive d’une approche très organique du son vers l’utilisation des technologies numériques. Nous évoquerons successivement l’élaboration d’une syntaxe sonore singulière et avant-gardiste avec l’ingénieur du son Alan Splet durant la production d’Eraserhead, véritable matrice de l’univers du cinéaste ; le développement et les nouvelles pistes de création sonore et musicale au cours des deux longs métrages suivants, Elephant Man et Dune ; la longue et fructueuse collaboration avec le compositeur Angelo Badalamenti, dont les plages à la lisière de la musique et des ambiances sonores instaurent une atmosphère tantôt étrange et oppressante, tantôt irréelle et onirique ; et enfin, les assemblages complexes qui jalonnent les bandes-son de ses derniers opus (Inland Empire, Twin Peaks: The Return), façonnés dans son propre studio avec la collaboration Dean Hurley.
Comment Christophe Héral dissout les frontières entre les catégories de sons
Authors: Pansanel-Garric Laetitia
Published: April 2023

Christophe Héral est un créateur sonore, compositeur français pour le cinéma et le jeu vidéo, singulier dans le paysage de la musique de film en France en ce sens qu’il officie autant dans le film, la série d’animation, que dans le jeu vidéo.Dans sa quête de l’authentique, tout est langage et musique pour le compositeur qui aime exploiter les ressources narratives de ce qu’il aime nommer « masse sonore » : l’enchevêtrement de matières pour ne faire qu’un. À travers l’analyse de quelques titres de la bande-son du film Le Voyage du Prince, cet article étudiera différents aspects des méthodes de travail de Christophe Héral et de son approche authentique du son. L’étude de la bande-son du film de La Queue de la souris de B. Renner et d’extraits de la bande-son des jeux vidéo Rayman Legends (2011) et Rayman Origins (2013) mettront en évidence la définition du terme « luthier sonore », expression et définition chère au créateur ainsi que sa vision des méthodes d’intégration dans le jeu vidéo.
L’illu-son du silence dans Drive (2011)
Authors: Dastugue Gérard
Published: April 2023

Dans le cinéma contemporain où la frontière entre écriture musicale et design sonore se dilue jusqu’à la fusion, la place du silence, réel ou simulé, travaille viscéralement la réception spectatorielle.Dans Drive (2011), la mise en scène formaliste de Nicholas Winding Refn applique à son driver taiseux, sans nom et sans passé, une grammaire cinématographique où la composition des plans et la richesse du matériau sonore évoquent un simulacre de silence. Ce qui pourrait être un avatar du « cinéma du look1 » s’aventure ici dans le continent d’une écoute active (les chansons) et passive (la musique du film et les sons). Le silence sera ainsi analysé comme catalyseur sonore (mise en avant de la musique notamment), comme vecteur entre espace urbain et espace intérieur (la voiture, le personnage) mais également dans son artificialité (absence de dialogue mais sources sonores multiples). Ce silence sound designé construit dans Drive une narration parallèle, aidé en cela par les paroles des chansons qui viennent commenter, comme une tragédie antique, l’amour sans étreinte d’un homme sans voix qui finit par révéler son vrai visage.
« The Long Night » ou la multiplicité sonore

Published: April 2023

Les équilibres entre musiques, sound design et ambiances sonores participent aux aspects narratifs et sensitifs de l’épisode 3 de la dernière saison de Game of Thrones : « The Long Night ». En effet, celui-ci concentre les tensions d’une bonne partie de la série dans un combat qui, à l’écran, joue sur l’imperceptibilité des scènes. Ainsi, le son, dans toute sa multiplicité, prend une réelle importance dans la perception de la narration et de l’impact sur le spectateur.Nous nous attacherons donc à montrer comment les différents éléments musicaux et, en particulier le sound design, œuvrent dans cet épisode. De la construction des identités sonores aux thèmes musicaux incarnés, des effets de mise en suspens à l’émotion du spectateur, le travail des sound designers (Paula Fairfield, Tim Kimmel) et du compositeur (Ramin Djawadi) accompagne la plongée du spectateur dans la diégèse paroxistique renforçant l’immersion spectatorielle. Le « son » des personnages, de leurs liens, de leur histoire, tant du point de vue de cet épisode que de la diégèse globale, possède une attention particulière signifiante. Tous ces éléments sont ici analysés dans le but de comprendre la construction sonore en lien avec le propos et l’image.
Entre les bruits et la musique
Authors: Garcia Demian
Published: April 2023

Le cinéma japonais entretient un rapport particulier au son et à la musique lié à sa culture, et le cinéma contemporain reste marqué par ce lien historique. Nous retrouvons une influence directe des codes musicaux du théâtre traditionnel dans l’écriture sonore des films de fantôme. Pour mieux comprendre cette écriture sonore propre aux films de fantôme japonais, il faut revenir au cinéma classique et remonter jusqu’au théâtre kabuki. D’abord, nous allons nous concentrer sur le symbolisme de la musique dans les pièces de fantôme ; puis, voir comment ce symbolisme apparaît dans le cinéma classique. Enfin, analyser comment il se transforme et se mélange aux effets sonores dans le cinéma contemporain. La musique s’est muée en couches sonores qui naviguent entre des bourdons, des grincements, des craquements, les sons de la nature et ceux qui dérivent de la technologie. Bien que les éléments sonores dans ces films soient les mêmes que ceux du cinéma occidental, son utilisation est très différente. Les films japonais perpétuent, dans leur relation au son, une tradition qui remonte au théâtre kabuki, où les frontières entre musique et son étaient déjà brouillées.
From separation to integration
Authors: Audissino Emilio
Published: April 2023

In today’s scoring practice the boundaries between “music” and “sound effects” have become thinner and overlapping. This practice has been favoured by innovations in sound technology and by the digitalisation of the post-production processes. Once all the ingredients were created not only in separate departments but through separate technological procedures, while now everything converges into digital processing. Hans Zimmer has been a pioneer of this technological convergence, anticipating (and influencing) the contemporary style of film music, one that seeks a tight integration with the film’s overall sound design. Laudatory accounts have already been offered of the new “integrated soundtrack”. In this article, after providing a short summary of the path to the contemporary integrated soundtrack and sound-design style, and after summarising the strengths and opportunities, I also provide some discussion of the potential threats and risks of this new trend; threats and risks that can have an impact on the film-music practitioners, on the viewers, and on film music in general.
Conspiracy of Terror
Authors: Deaville James
Published: April 2023

This article first examines the varieties of sound-music integration practices in the horror trailer, as the work of sound design and music placement. It initially analyzes how the sonic balance functions in examples of the integration of music and sound (Dr. Sleep, 2019), the approach of music score followed by sound design (You’re Next, 2013), and the soundtrack consisting exclusively or predominantly of electronically manipulated sound (Antlers, 2019). I then explore the (gendered) implications of the female scream in horror trailers, as a nonlexical vocalization falling between the audio elements of dialogue, music, and sound effect, a type of sonic “black hole” (Chion, 1999, 76). The discussion draws upon Kristeva’s notion of the abject (Kristeva, 1982) to investigate how sound design and music make the scream particularly potent in abjectifying the female subject. As examples of this practice, I consider trailers to Hostel and The Pact, and—in particular depth through comparative spectrograms—sequences from the two trailers to Insidious: The Last Key.

El abordaje de las enfermedades infecciosas precisa desde la identificación del agente etiológico hasta el tratamiento. En la neumonía, las herramientas diagnósticas son diversas; como la tomografía axial computarizada, radiografía de tórax y recientemente el ultrasonido pulmonar (UP), cada una con ventajas y desventajas. Por esta razón, se planteó revisar sistemáticamente la literatura sobre la precisión diagnóstica del UP en la detección de la neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC) en pacientes adultos, y determinar si es una óptima herramienta diagnóstica. Se realizaron búsquedas en las bases de datos MEDLINE, CENTRAL y LILACS. Se determinó la calidad de los artículos incluidos usando la herramienta “QUADAS-2”. La sensibilidad y especificidad del UP fueron de 82.8%-100% y 61.1%-98.7%. Por su parte, la sensibilidad de la RX de tórax fue de 47%-72,7 %, y una especificidad del 50%. Se determinó un acuerdo inter-observador con un rango para el índice κ = 0,79-0,88 para el UP. En este estudio se demostró que el UP usada para el diagnóstico de la NAC tiene un mejor rendimiento en términos de sensibilidad y especificidad; además, de su bajo costo, disponibilidad, comodidad y ausencia de ionización, asegura la utilidad de esta herramienta diagnóstica.

As Rice (O. sativa) becomes one of the world's most important cereal crops, its cultivation in arid and semi-arid countries relies heavily on irrigation, and soil salinity remains an environmental or abiotic danger in those regions. Aside from abiotic threats, R. solani-caused sheath blight is one of the most significant fungal diseases restricting global rice output. Because there is a strong link between environmental conditions and plant diseases, determining the effect of salinity on sheath blight disease will be critical. The mycelial block approach was employed to inoculate three rice varieties (Faro44, Faro52, and Jamila) subjected to varying levels of saline treatment. The incidence of sheath blight disease was determined and expressed as a percentage, and plant image analysis (Pliman) was used to measure and determine the severity of sheath blight disease on the affected plant parts. The results revealed that the disease incidence in Faro44 and Faro52 was greater at 8 dSm-1, while Jamila had the highest disease incidence at 6 dSm-1. The disease severity increases with rising salinity level in all varieties, and becomes quite severe when the salinity level exceeds 4 dSm-1. The study concluded that, salt stress is a severe hazard to rice cultivation, and the effect of sheath blight disease can worsen as soil salinity increases.

In order to treat a variety of human health issues, plants are a beneficial source for getting numerous pharmacologically active chemicals. This study aimed to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the phytochemical constituents of Artemisia annua, Azadirachta indica, Nauclea latifolia, and Vernonia ambigua. The volatile constituents of these plants were extracted using steam distillation. The phytochemical constituents were qualitatively and quantitatively determined using the standard methods. The results of the phytochemical screening show the presence of glycosides, terpenoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, and tannins. The quantitative Analysis shows that Azadirachta indica has the highest concentration of alkaloid (0.18 mg/mL), flavonoid (0.06 mg/mL), and total phenolic compounds (0.11 mg/mL). It was concluded that the distillates of the plants studied possess significant phytoconstituents. Further study needs to identify relevant compounds from the distillates for a better understanding of their mechanism of actions and activities. Furthermore, toxicology and in vivo studies should performed to deduce the safety of ingesting the distillates.
