Authors:   Donetsk State Medical University named after M.Gorsky of the Mibistry of Health of Russia, Donetsk, DPR, Golodenko O. N.
Published: November 2023

A mathematical model of neural programming of the index "adjustment disorder" in young people under conditions of prolonged wartime stress in the Donbass, based on the personality-oriented approach in psychiatry was developed. The observation period covered 2016–2020 years of moderate stress intensity in the face of significant changes in life. With the help of the constructed mathematical model of neural programming, the main prognostic individual psychological factors for impaired adaptive abilities in young people under conditions of prolonged wartime stress were identified.
SANSTEFANSKI I BERLINSKI MIROVNI UGOVORI I SRPSKE ZEMLjE
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Čvorović Zoran
Published: November 2023

Although modest in scope, the expansion foreseen by the Treaty of San Stefano, along with the provisions that regulated the status of other Serbian lands, provided a stable territorial basis for the gradual and somewhat predictable development of Serbia statehood. On the other side, the Treaty of Berlin created for Serbia such territorial basis, where further development of Serbian statehood depended entirely on success in the fight against Austria-Hungary. At the same time, this rivalry over time brought Serbia to a situation where it had to change the main goal of the national policy - from unification of the Serbian state with a smaller territorial scope to the territorially large Yugoslavian state.

Published: November 2023

In the paper, the author gives an account of the origin and development of the civil death penalty in Anglo-Saxon and continental law. The author decided to pay attention to the French law as the most representative criminal-legal system in Europe of the 19th century when analyzing the continental variant of this punishment. By analyzing legal texts, court rulings, older and newer literature, the author provides a comparative account of the consequences of civil death in these two most important European and world legal systems, as well as the opinions of supporters and opponents of this punishment. Although on European soil it is considered a punishment belonging to the past, in the Anglo-Saxon legal system civil death is still the subject of a very lively discourse.

Impact of Temperature on Insect Behavior in India
Authors: Bharata Arrian
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the Impact of Temperature on Insect Behavior in India.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library

Findings: Research on the impact of temperature on insect behavior in India has demonstrated significant findings. As temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, insects are exhibiting altered behaviors, affecting various ecosystems and agricultural practices. Studies indicate shifts in the timing of insect life cycles, including altered breeding patterns and earlier emergence from diapause. Additionally, rising temperatures have been associated with increased insect pest activity, posing threats to crop yields and ecosystem dynamics. These findings underscore the need for proactive measures to mitigate the consequences of changing insect behaviors in India, including adaptive agricultural strategies and ecosystem management practices.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Degree-Day Theory, Temperature-Dependent Activity Theory and Optimal Foraging Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the Impact of Temperature on Insect Behavior in India. Pest control strategies should be tailored to account for temperature-dependent shifts in insect activity patterns, thereby optimizing the timing and choice of control measures. Policymakers should recognize the critical role of temperature in shaping insect behavior and its cascading effects on ecosystems, food security, and public health.

Public-private partnerships can accelerate technology adoption and promote sustainable agriculture practices.
THE EASTERN STEPPE IN THE MANCHU PERIOD
Authors: Ercilasun Konuralp
Published: November 2023

The paper will focus on the Sanjak system and its effects from these changes. To explain this, a piece of general information about the steppe civilization will be given first. Then it will be mentioned that the Mongols came under Manchu domination. Finally, the main features of the Sanjak system that the Manchus established in the Mongol lands will be examined and its effect on the nomadic life will be emphasized. Turks and Mongols have been the main carriers of steppe civilization throughout history. As a result of the organization based on tribes, the Turkish and Mongolian tribes constantly entered into each other. For centuries, the perception of identity in the steppe continued from the lifestyle partnership. With the Mongols coming under Manchu domination, the structure of the Mongols based on nation and otok units changed. This structure evolved into a monarchical system based on its relationship with the Manchu court. The sanjak system was established in the Mongolian region. The Manchus, another nomadic element east of the Mongols, used changes in the stature structure.

В этой статье рассматриваются изделия из камня, то есть жезлы. Они обычно заканчивались зооморфными изображениями, среди которых чаще всего встречался образ лошади. Значительное внимание уделялось их иконографическим свойствам. Также, здесь были выделены и описаны другие характерные особенности в данных изделиях. Главной целью статьи является раскрытие феномена культа лошади, который имел широкое значение и распространение в декоративно-прикладном искусстве бронзового века на территории Обь-Иртышья. Ключевым аргументом в пользу подтверждения сакрального значения и особого статуса лошади, явилось его преобладание в изображениях каменных жезлов.
Особый акцент был уделен тому, что все каменные жезлы с навершием лошади относятся к случайным находкам. Они были найдены в окрестностях г.Семипалатинска, г.Усть-Каменогорска и в разрушенном погребений могильника Шипуново-Ⅴ на Алтае. А причиной такого широкого размаха распространения в этих окрестностях заключалась их особая значимость в жизнедеятельности населения. Это также несколько раз подтверждалось и другими археологическими материалами, которые были похожи по функциональному значению, но уже встречались с другими зооморфными образами. Однако, исследуемые объекты в литературе трактуют одинаково и именуют каменными жезлами, датированными началом первой половиной Ⅱ тыс. до н. э.
В итоге был сделан вывод, что функциональным назначением данных каменных изделий было их применение в качестве одного из атрибутов власти, ставшее его символом.

Мақалада XX ғасырдың 20-30 жылдары Қазақстанның қазіргі Атырау және Маңғыстау облыстарының территориясында бұрынғы тарихи әдебиеттерде «Адай көтерілісі» атымен белгілі болған Кеңес үкіметінің қысымшылық, озбырлық саясатына қарсы бағытталған халықтың жаппай күресі мен оны большевиктердің адам айтқысыз қатыгездікпен аяусыз жаныштап басуы туралы баяндалады. Азамат соғысынан кейінгі совет үкіметінің күштеу саясаты Батыс өлке халқының наразылығының артуына, жұртшылықтың байы бар, кедейі бар ашық күреске шығуына алып келді. Бұл мақаланың мақсаты - Адай көтерілісінің тек Маңғыстау өңірін ғана емес, ең әуелі Атырау облысының Қызылқоға, Ембі аудандарының Сағыз, Топырақшашқан, Жем өңірлерін қамтыған сол кезде өмір сүрген жұртшылықтың кеңестік биліктің әділетсіздігіне қарсы жаппай қатысқандығын баяндау болып табылады. Мақаланың нәтижесінде, тарих ғылымына бұрын белгісіз болып келген Адай көтерілісіне қатысты деректер көрсетілді. Қазан төңкерісінен кейін бүкіл республика бойынша және қазіргі Атырау облысының территориясында өмір сүрген халықтың әлеуметтік жағдайы өте төмен болды. Экономиканың табиғи даму заңдылықтарын есепке алмау және толассыз әкімшілендіру ауыл шаруашылығын мүлде мүшкіл халге түсіріп, жағдайды күрт шиленістіріп жіберді. Ол халықтың наразылығын туғызып, көтеріліске алып келді.
ORGANIZATIONAL ASPECTS OF INCREASING THE CASH FLOW OF JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES
Authors: Islamov Anvar
Published: November 2023

This article presents the increase in free cash flow of securities companies. Free cash flows of joint stock companies show how effectively working capital is used. Moreover, if free cash flow in a company’s activities decreases due to an increase in working capital, this means that joint-stock companies ineffectively use working capital when purchasing low-income assets. The article discusses the use of theories of domestic and foreign economists regarding the calculation of free cash flow.
The free cash flows of the joint stock companies “Andijandonkhusulot”, “Andijan Regional Electric Grid Enterprise” and “Kokan Mechanical Plant” selected in the study were analyzed and it was revealed that changes in fixed capital (Bc), working capital (Wc) and depreciation expenses (De) are interdependent. There was a doubling of the free cash flows of the companies in question. An analysis of the balance sheet of Andizhondonkhusulot JSC for 2017-2021 and the dynamics of net reinvestments of joint-stock companies were carried out.
The author clarifies that when determining the free cash flow of joint stock companies, the company's EBIT indicator is used after taking into account operating income and paying taxes.
Based on the results of the study, important aspects of increasing a company's free cash flow are highlighted.
ENVIRONMENTAL-ECONOMIC INSTRUMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Authors: Luybov Chaikovskaya
Published: November 2023

In modern times, the existing environmental problems have taken on a special global character. This primarily refers to the fact that when planning and implementing the material progress of society, the ecological rules of human life and the vital activity of other beings were not taken into account. In this regard, at present, almost all countries of the world, namely those related to the economically developed, are making maximum efforts to build their environmental policy, form rational use of natural resources and provide financial resources to replenish them. The main role in ensuring environmental policy is played by the state, but in modern society, the state apparatus is not the only subject of environmental policy, but only one of many, along with political parties, as well as scientific and professional associations, and commercial companies. Being an important part of the policy of all states, environmental policy and its implementation or non-implementation have an impact on the views of citizens towards state power.

The article discusses the features of the interaction between two varieties of the Adyghe (Circassian) folk epic, archaic legends about the mythical heroic Narts and cycles of historical and heroic songs and legends. as an example, a song is considered, which, in its poetic organization and musical texture, represents the phenomenon of the historical and heroic epic, but with the theme and nomenclature of characters is directly related to the cycles of Nart legends. In this regard, it is customary to attribute this work to the category of borderline ones that arose at the stage of completion of the greatest productivity of archaic cycles and the promotion of works of the historicalheroic variety of the epic to the fore. Attention is drawn to the facts of the reverse influence of the poetics and style of the younger epic on the structure of the genre formation typologically preceding it. It is established that this happens not at the stage of formation of the poetics of the younger epic, but as a result of a more complex process – the joint productive functioning of various genres of folklore, but on the condition that one of the phenomena occupies a dominant position and acquires the ability to influence genres and genres adjacent to it. varieties.
Gender–Caste Hegemony and Victimhood: A Study on Untouchable and The God of Small Things
Authors: Roy Romeena , Jose Antony
Published: November 2023

India is distinctive for its varied cultures, enticing landscapes, and rich heritage. Intriguingly, caste and gender inequities are still pervasive in Indian society, and the recent financial crisis has given some millionaires a pretext to abuse their power by denying minority groups access to basic freedoms. Gender stereotypes are deeply ingrained in cultural and societal expectations, frequently harming people who don't fit the strict binary gender norms imposed by these institutions. People are classified into castes based on their social standing, class, and place of birth, and their caste status is determined by their largely unchanging familial origins. Both the Indian novels, Untouchable of Mulk Raj Anand which was published in 1935 and The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy which was published 62 years after the first one display the interconnected and hegemonic nature of Caste and Gender. This paper analyses the interconnected and hegemonic nature of Caste and Gender and interrogates how the hegemony leads to victimhood as narrated by the novels Untouchable and The God of Small Things.

Conventionally, the laboratory world used to rely on serological diagnosis, but the availability of molecular techniques, especially “Polymerase Chain Reaction” (PCR), has initially emerged as the front-line test for diagnosing SARS-CoV2 infection. Though defined as the current mainstay of COVID-19 diagnosis, the technology still suffers from less diagnostic sensitivity and specificity and prolonged turnaround times (TAT). The recent emergence of novel techniques, i.e., CRISPR/Cas technologies, in diagnosing COVID-19 infection has been tremendous and provides newer replacements for PCR testing. CRISPR with Cas12 and Cas13 from CRISPR type-V and type-VI has the potential to revolutionize COVID-19 diagnosis due to better diagnostic efficiency, lower limits of detection (LOD), much-reduced turnaround times (TAT) and availability as point of care testing (POCT). Key technologies discussed in this include SHERLOCK, DETECTER, AIOD-CRISPR, PAC-MAN, CREST and others. This short communication briefly conceptualizes CRISPR/Cas, followed by a discussion on currently available CRISPR technologies for COVID-19 infection with an overview classification of most available methods.

Abstract. Knowledge of the temperature-dependent concentration of ice-nucleating particles (INPs) is crucial to understanding the properties of mixed-phase clouds. However, the sources, transport and removal of INPs around the globe, and particularly in the Arctic region, are poorly understood. In the Arctic winter and spring, when many local sources are covered by ice and snow, it is not clear which INP types are important. In this study, we present a new dataset of aircraft-based immersion mode INP measurements and aerosol size-resolved composition in the western North American Arctic from 11 to 21 March 2018. Aerosol samples were collected between ∼ 70 and 600 m above the surface on filters that were analysed using both a freezing droplet-based assay and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The measured INP concentrations were at or close to the limit of detection, with concentrations at −20 ∘C of 1 L−1 or below. The size-resolved composition measurements indicates that the aerosol concentrations were low, dominated mostly by sea spray aerosol and mineral dust. Further analysis shows that mineral dust is important for the ice-nucleating properties of our samples, dominating over the sea spray aerosol particles in the four cases we analysed, suggesting that mineral dust is a relevant type of INP in the Alaskan springtime Arctic. Furthermore, the INP concentrations are more consistent with fertile soil dusts that have an ice-active biological component than what would be expected for the ice-active mineral K-feldspar alone. While we cannot rule out local high-latitude sources of dust, the relatively small size of the mineral dust implies that the dust was from distant sources.

Abstract. In the autumn of 2019, a 5 d long-lasting dust event was observed using a synergy of field measurement techniques in Shanghai. This particular dust event stood out from others due to its unique characteristics, including low wind speed, high relative humidity, elevated levels of gaseous precursors, and contrasting wind patterns at different altitudes. During this event, three distinct dust stages were identified. The first stage was a typical dust invasion characterized by high concentrations of particulate matters but relatively short duration. In contrast, the second stage exhibited an unusual enhancement of ozone, attributed to compound causes of a weak synoptic system, transport from the ocean, and subsidence of high-altitude ozone downdrafted by dust. Consequently, gas-phase oxidation served as the major formation pathway of sulfate and nitrate. In the third stage of dust, a noteworthy phenomenon known as dust backflow occurred. The dust plume originated from the Shandong Peninsula and slowly drifted over the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea before eventually returning to Shanghai. Evidence of this backflow was found through the enrichment of marine vessel emissions (V and Ni) and increased solubility of calcium. Under the influence of humid oceanic breezes, the formation of nitrate was dominated by aqueous processing. Additionally, parts of nitrate and sulfate were directly transported via sea salts, evidenced by their co-variation with Na+ and confirmed through thermodynamic modeling. The uptake of NH3 on particles, influenced by the contributions of alkali metal ions and aerosol pH, regulated the formation potential of secondary aerosol. By developing an upstream–receptor relationship method, the quantities of transported and secondarily formed aerosol species were separated. This study highlights that the transport pathway of dust, coupled with environmental conditions, can significantly modify the aerosol properties, especially at the complex land–sea interface.
Focal-TSMP: Deep learning for vegetation health prediction and agricultural drought assessment from a regional climate simulation
Authors: Shams Eddin Mohamad Hakam , Gall Juergen
Published: November 2023

Abstract. In this study, we investigate applying deep learning (DL) models on a regional climate simulation produced by the Terrestrial Systems Modelling Platform (TSMP Ground to Atmosphere G2A) for vegetation health modeling and agricultural drought assessment. The TSMP simulation is performed in a free mode and the DL model is used in an intermediate step to synthesize Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Brightness Temperature (BT) images from the TSMP simulation over Europe. These predicted images are then used to derive different vegetation and drought indices like NDVI anomaly, BT anomaly, Vegetation Condition Index (VCI), Thermal Condition Index (TCI), and Vegetation Health Index (VHI). To ensure reliability and to assess the model applicability with different seasonality and spatial variability, we provide an analysis of model biases and uncertainties across different regions over the Pan-Europe domain. We further provide an analysis about the contribution of the input variables from the TSMP model components to ensure a better understanding of the model prediction. A comprehensive evaluation on the long-term TSMP using reference remote sensing data showed sufficiently good agreements between the model predictions and observations. While model performance varies on the test set between different climate regions, it achieves a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.027 and 1.90 K° with coefficient of determination (R2) scores of 0.88 and 0.92 for NDVI and BT, respectively, at 0.11° resolution for sub-seasonal predictions. Our study could be used as a complimentary evaluation framework for climate change simulations with TSMP. Moreover, the developed DL model could be integrated with data assimilation and used for down-stream tasks, i.e., modelling the impact of extreme events on vegetation responses with different climate change scenarios. In summary, we demonstrate the feasibility of using DL on a TSMP simulation to synthesize NDVI and BT, which can be used for agricultural drought forecasting. Our implementation is publicly available at the project page (https://hakamshams.github.io/Focal-TSMP).
The Temporal Phasing of Rapid Dansgaard–Oeschger Warming Events Cannot Be Reliably Determined

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Dansgaard–Oeschger (DO) warming events occurred throughout the last glacial period. Greenland ice cores show a rapid warming during each stadial to interstadial transition, alongside abrupt loss of sea ice and major reorganisation of the atmospheric circulation. Other records also indicate simultaneous abrupt changes to the oceanic circulation. Recently, an advanced Bayesian ramp fitting method has been developed and used to investigate time lags between transitions in these different climate elements, with a view to determining the relative order of these changes. Here, we subject this method to a critical review. Using ice core data, climate model output, and carefully synthesised data representing DO warming events, we demonstrate that the method suffers from noise-induced bias of up to 15 years. This bias means that the method will tend to yield transition onsets that are too early, and we find that the estimated timings of noisier transitions are more strongly biased. Further investigation of DO warming event records in climate models and ice core data reveals that the bias is on the same order of magnitude as potential timing differences between the abrupt transitions of different climate elements. Additionally, we find that higher-resolution records would not reduce this bias. We conclude that time lags of less than 20 years cannot be reliably detected, as we cannot exclude the possibility that they result solely from the bias. This prevents the unambiguous determination of the temporal phasing of DO warming events.
On the drivers of regime shifts in the Antarctic marginal seas, exemplified by the Weddell Sea

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Recent studies have found evidence for a potential future tipping point, when the density of Antarctic continental shelf waters, specifically in the southern Weddell Sea, will allow for the onshore flow of warm waters of open ocean origin. A cold-to-warm regime shift in the adjacent ice shelf cavities entails a strong enhancement of ice shelf basal melt rates and could trigger instabilities in the ice sheet. From a suite of numerical experiments, aimed to force such a regime shift on the continental shelf, we identified the density balance between the shelf waters formed by sea ice production and the warmer water at the shelf break as the defining element of a tipping into a warm state. In our experiments, this process is reversible but there is evidence for hysteresis behaviour. Using HadCM3 20th-century output as atmospheric forcing, the resulting state of the Filchner–Ronne cavity depends on the initial state. In contrast, ERA Interim forcing pushes even a warm-initialized cavity into a cold state, i.e. it pushes the system back across the reversal threshold to the cold side. However, it turns out that for forcing data perturbations of a realistic magnitude, a unique and universal recipe for triggering a regime shift in Antarctic marginal seas was not found; instead, various ocean states can lead to an intrusion of off-shelf waters onto the continental shelf and into the cavities. Whether or not any given forcing or perturbation yields a density imbalance and thus allows for the inflow of warm water depends on the complex interplay between bottom topography, mean ocean state, sea ice processes, and atmospheric conditions.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. This paper demonstrates the observation of wind shear and veer directly from the operational response of a wind turbine equipped with blade load sensors. Two independent neural-based observers, one for shear and one for veer, are first trained using a machine learning approach, and then used to produce estimates of these two wind characteristics from measured blade load harmonics. The study is based on a data set collected at an experimental test site, featuring a highly-instrumented 8 MW wind turbine, an IEC-compliant met mast, and a vertical profiling lidar reaching above the rotor top. The present study reports the first demonstration of the measurement of wind veer with this technology, and the first validation of shear and veer with respect to lidar measurements spanning the whole rotor height. Results are presented in terms of correlations, exemplary time histories and aggregated statistical metrics. Measurements of shear and veer produced by the observers are very similar to the ones obtained with the widely adopted profiling lidar, while avoiding its complexity and associated costs.
Combining wake redirection and derating strategies in a wind farm load-constrained power maximization
Authors: Croce Alessandro , Cacciola Stefano , Isella Federico
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Power derating and wake redirection are two wind farm control techniques proposed in the last decade as means for increasing the overall wind farm power output. While derating operations are associated with a limited gain in terms of farm energy harvesting and with a decrease in turbine loading levels, farm controls based on wake redirection proved, both in silico and experimental tests, to entail significant increases in the overall wind farm power output. However, according to wake redirection strategies, the upstream wind turbines may typically operate at large yaw misalignment angles, and the possible increase in loads that the machines may experience in such conditions represents a source of concern when it comes to testing this control on existing farms that are not specifically designed for prolonged misaligned operations. In this work, it is first demonstrated that a suitable derating level can compensate for the increase in the rotor loads associated with large misalignment angles. Secondarily, two load-constrained wind farm controls based on a combination of wake redirection and derating are proposed with the aim of maximizing the overall farm output while maintaining unaltered the design load envelope of the wind turbines operating within the controlled wind farm.

Diminutive data is available on the outcome of several previously used total ankle replacement implants. The purpose of this study was to investigate the medium-term functional and radiological outcome and implant survival of the CCI Evolution implant. Consecutive series of 40 ankles operated in our hospital with primary TAR using the CCI Evolution implant in 2010-2013 were available for follow-up. The prospective clinical and radiographic data including the Kofoed score, subjective satisfaction and standard radiographs were collected preoperatively and at fixed time-points postoperatively. A CT was obtained in cases where osteolysis or loosening were suspected. The improvement of the Kofoed score and subjective satisfaction were statistically significant (p<0.0001). The implant survival was 97% (95% confidence interval (CI) 81%-100 %) at 5 years, and 81 % (95% confidence interval (CI) 60 %-92%) at 8 years. There were altogether 25 (64%) complications. Overall revision rate was 28% and failure rate 13%. The CCI implant outcome was not acceptable. The malposition of prosthetic components, subsidence, and peri-implant osteolysis were recorded often. Although the patient reported outcome measures improved, mostly due to positive changes in pain severity, overall revision and failure rates were high and comparable with previous findings of the CCI implant.
The Cuenca Family: Two Visions of Poe in Spain
Authors: Correoso-Rodenas José Manuel
Published: November 2023

The reception of Poe’s works in Spain begins in the mid-nineteenth century. Many interpretations of Poe were plagued with misconceptions and stereotypes derived from Charles Baudelaire’s influential writings. However, in 1930 Carlos Fernández Cuenca published a seventy-page prologue to a selection of Poe’s stories titled “La caja oblonga.” Fernández Cuenca offers a series of comments on Poe’s secondary writings, such as letters, criticism, and marginalia. His avant-garde aesthetic ideas also play an influential role in the prologue. That level of accuracy would be lost in Spain for decades. Fernández Cuenca’s distant relative Luis Alberto de Cuenca, a poet and a scholar on myth criticism and fantasy literature, has been publishing essays on Poe for the past twenty years. In spite of his expertise in other fields of the genre, those essays seem to have lost a great deal of their heights achieved in 1930. This article analyzes how the image of Poe has evolved in Spain over the past ninety years, juxtaposing the writings of two members of the same family to determine how preconceived depictions and mythical errors have had a strong weight.
Helen and Paris: Classicism and Frenchness in Saint-Saëns’s Hélène
Authors: Gibbons William
Published: November 2023

Camille Saint-Saëns’s one-act opera Hélène (1904), one of several works he composed on ancient Greek topics, depicts the night Helen of Troy departs Sparta with the Trojan prince Paris, igniting a war in the process. Hélène had been a long-gestating project, spurred by a simmering disdain for Jacques Offenbach’s enduringly popular satirical operetta La Belle Hélène (1864), which Saint-Saëns’s believed triggered no less than the collapse of French musical taste. Indeed, the opera was widely perceived in the Parisian press as a reclamation of the cultural legacy of ancient Greece—a treatment that rescued Hellenic absolute beauty from the German clutches of first Offenbach and then Wagner. Drawing extensively on reception studies, cultural history, and hermeneutical analysis, this article situates Hélène in complex, interweaving fin de siècle French musical debates over cultural heritage, nationalism, Wagnerism, and the aesthetics of absolute beauty.
