The influence of the converter system on the contemporary accordion performance
Authors: Pescada, GonçaloAndré Dias
Published: May 2022

Abstract. In the second half of the XX century the accordion experienced significant changes that would change the instrument’s destiny, its practice, sound range and potential. One of these changes was the creation of a converter system that opened doors to performance on this instrument, such as: hands independence, polyphony realization, new compositions, technical and artistic development of the performer’s skills. In addition to highlighting the mechanisms and aspects related to the performance of the converter system, the study discusses some techniques common in modern accordion compositions (clusters, glissando, ricochets, vibrato, portamento, percussion effects, etc.) and ways of their notation, identifies benefits and limitations of performing different types of articulation and sound effects on the instrument. It is concluded that the use of the converter system in the accordion has expanded the range of possibilities of the instrument and made its study much more interesting for performers, composers and listeners; fruitful collaboration with outstanding masters (Sofia Gubaidulina, Edison Denisov, Franco Donatoni, LucianoBerio, Magnus Lindberg, MauricioKagel, ToshioHosokawa, Salvatore Sciarrino, Christopher Bochmann and others) led to the cultural rise of the instrument. Finally, the inclusion of the accordion with a converter system in the programs of chamber and symphony concerts has accelerated the process of introducing the accordion into classical music.

Transformational leadership is becoming the popular concepts in the management science for the last 30 years, as well as in the field of education management. To avoid an application in the education sector that is merely followed because of trending, it needs an understanding of the historical side of the transformational leadership model. Through the literature study, this study presented three things: (1) The history of the development of leadership theories; (2) The history of a transformational leadership theory model, and (3) the development of transformational leadership studies in the field of education. The development of leadership studies involving intrinsic and extrinsic motivational theories, has spawned the idea of an intrinsic transformational leadership, compared to extrinsic transactional leadership. Inspired by the writings of James McGregor Burns (1978), Bernard M. Bass (1990) created the concept of transformational leadership model, to popular and became an important study to be implemented in various sectors, including in the field of education. The study of transformational leadership in the area of pedagogy has come to the conclusion that transformational leadership is an ideal representation of the practice at school in the 21st century.

Hacia una gramática del ferrocarril: Glaxo (2009) y Lumbre (2013) de Hernán Ronsino
Authors: D´Alessandro Natalia
Published: May 2022

En este artículo, observaré en las novelas Glaxo (2009) y Lumbre (2013) de Hernán Ronsino ciertos mecanismos de reescritura del leitmotiv de los ferrocarriles en la literatura argentina y sus reconfiguraciones desde textos fundacionales del siglo XIX hasta Lumbre. Desde este punto de partida, me interesa poner en diálogo las novelas de Ronsino con lo que entiendo como una tradición discursiva omnipresente en el contexto argentino en relación con los ferrocarriles. Así, analizaré ampliamente el concepto de ferrocarril en estos textos desde las propuestas de María Pía López y Horacio González en Vías argentinas. Ensayos sobre el ferrocarril (2010), donde postulan al ferrocarril como resto siempre irresuelto, aún latente en la contemporaneidad, y como núcleo discursivo siempre nombrado con relación a proyectos disímiles de país. Por último, indagaré en lo que llamo una “gramática del ferrocarril” presente en los textos de Ronsino, que genera a nivel narrativo el trazado de múltiples vías textuales que se van conformando frente al lector y que, desde esta perspectiva, parecen proponer nuevos caminos y genealogías en el contexto de la literatura argentina contemporánea.

En el siguiente artículo se analizan algunos de los significados clave que se han articulado recientemente en los discursos filosóficos, políticos o periodísticos, entre otros, en torno a un concepto de máxima actualidad en el debate político contemporáneo como es el de “posverdad”. Para ello se recurre a un clásico de la literatura de ciencia ficción como es Fahrenheit 451, aprovechando una sugerencia de Ramin Bahrani, director de su adaptación cinematográfica más reciente, según el cual la novela de Bradbury “representa nuestra era de redes sociales”.
Agarrame que voy a hacer un escándalo: el humor TRASHico de Waly Salomão
Authors: Santi Kremer Paola
Published: May 2022

Preso durante la última dictadura militar brasileña, Waly Salomão inició la escritura de su primer libro, Me segura qu’eu vou dar um troço (1972), en el que inauguró procedimientos que atraviesan toda su obra. En este artículo analizaremos cómo utiliza el humor para establecer las relaciones que atraviesan su escritura a fin de poner en tensión la separación entre literatura y vida, abriendo posibilidades para ambas. Salomão marca límites solo para desarmarlos, impulsado por la potencia seductora de su humor. Construye formas de ubicarse en la frontera entre un yo y otros, en la frontera de cualquier límite, para, más que ultrapasarlas, disolverlas.
Apuntes sobre lo Antiguo y los Antiguos en Melancholia, de Jackie Pigeaud
Authors: Coria Marcela
Published: May 2022

Estos "apuntes" fueron leídos con ocasión de la presentación de la traducción al español del libro Melancholia. El malestar del individuo, de Jackie Pigeaud, editado por Otro cauce en 2021. En particular, abordan específicamente la presencia, en este libro, de los antiguos, o, como los llama Pigeaud, los Antiguos, con mayúsculas. Los Antiguos son omnipresentes en Melancholia, no solo porque la especialidad del autor es la filología y la literatura clásica, sino también porque, tanto en la filosofía como en la literatura y en los escritos médicos, los Antiguos fueron los primeros, en Occidente, en abordar el tema de ese malestar del individuo que llamamos melancolía. Lo hicieron desde distintos ángulos, pero siempre con una profundidad y una exquisita comprensión de la condición humana cuyos ecos resuenan hasta hoy en nuestro inconsciente cultural, que para Pigeaud es, precisamente, lo Antiguo, también con mayúsculas.

Published: May 2022

Issues dealing with security are perhaps the most profound issues since the end of the Cold War in 1990s. The idea that the security of the state is no longer can only be challenged by war but also by other factors and issues that can still threaten the wellbeing of the citizen and state. The realism paradigm in international politics deems issues on securities in a traditional way that wars and arm conflicts are the only threat to the state. This viewpoint falls under the notion of traditional security. The other notion that dictates the security of the state can be more than just arm conflicts and wars, fall under the idea and paradigm of idealism. This paper will tend to highlight a few issues that concern the paradigm of Non-Traditional Security (NTS). In the end, the objective of this concept paper is to see the awareness of ASEAN members on the issues of NTS and how do they respond to such matters. A total of 10 informants from different backgrounds but experts in the field of NTS will involve in the study. From the findings, we hope that there is a full picture of NTS during the pandemic COVID-19 can be presented. Thus, from this study, the blueprint for NTS can be suggested to help people more understand NTS.

Ultracompact autocorrelator with pulse-width-range switch function integrated on a silicon photonic chip
Authors: Kondo Keisuke , Oshima Hiroki
Published: May 2022

We demonstrated a fully integrated autocorrelator that can switch the measurable range of the pulse width. The autocorrelator was fabricated on a chip using a silicon photonics process. Autocorrelation was achieved using a two-photon absorption photodiode (TPA-PD) array embedded on a Si waveguide. We integrated multiple TPA-PD array waveguides on a chip to provide multiple pulse width ranges for the extension of the range. The switching of the waveguides was carried out using an integrated optical path switch. We fabricated two parallel waveguides with lengths of 110 and 330 μm, and a path switch consisting of a thermally controlled Mach–Zehnder interferometer. Correlation waveforms of picosecond pulses were appropriately obtained, and range switching was successfully performed. We show that the proposed device is scalable for the increase in the number of autocorrelators and the number of pulse-width ranges.

Abstract: Purpose: This study investigates the interrelationship among COVID-19 anxiety, mindfulness, COVID-19 information avoidance, preventive behavior, and academic performance. Research methodology: The study assessed protective factors as mediators of COVID-19 anxiety and academic performance using WarpPLS. The study participants were K-12 Filipino students from a secondary school in Cagayan, Philippines, identified through convenience sampling. Results: COVID-19 anxiety, mindfulness, information avoidance, and preventive behavior were found to be negatively correlated. Preventive behavior is associated with improved academic performance. Conversely, there was a negative correlation between mindfulness, COVID-19 information avoidance, and academic performance. The association between COVID-19 anxiety and academic achievement is only mediated by mindfulness and preventive behavior. Limitations: Preventive factors that may affect COVID-19 anxiety and academic achievement are only considered. Also, the participants are limited to a secondary school in Cagayan, Philippines. Contribution: With the pandemic having a substantial influence on the municipality, the study would be helpful to manage and control the effect of the outbreak on the academic performance of the learners.

Level of liver marker enzymes AST, ALT and ALP and level some biochemical parameters Albumin, Urea and Creatinine were assayed in rats fed with aqueous extract of Hyphaene thebaica. This study was done to determine the hepatoprotective activity of aqueous extract of Hyphaene thebaica in paracetamol-induced liver injury albino rats. Acute toxicity study (LD50) was first evaluated in rats before the commencement of the main study. Twenty five albino rats weighing between 90-120g were used. They were divided into five (5) groups of five (5) rats each. Rats in group one served as the normal control, group two as positive group they were treated with standard drug Silymarin at a dose of 50mg/kg, groups 3 and 4 were administered the aqueous extract daily by intubation for seven days at 250mg/kg for group and 500mg/kg for group four respectively. All treatments were carried out for 7 days and PCM intoxication was done 3 hours after the last dose. All animals were euthanized twenty four (24) hours after the last treatment; blood was collected, and used for estimation of biochemical parameters such as liver enzymes (alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and level of serum albumin, Creatinine and urea. In the experiment carried out there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in terms of ALP of all the groups in comparison to the control group. Aqueous extract of H. thebaica however showed significant increase at P<0.05 in this protein, both urea and creatinine levels were increased significantly by PCM but were both decreased significantly by the administration of aqueous extract of H. thebaica.

Published: May 2022

The lowered immunity of patients with chronic kidney diseases and the increased bacterial resistance to a control antibiotic have given rise to the need to research and offer reliable evidences for the therapeutic values of the leafy vegetables like Vernonia amygdalina (Bitter leaf) and Gongronema latifolium (Utazi) in treating urinary tract infections caused by Gram negative bacteria. One hundred and twenty-seven (127) midstream urine samples were aseptically collected from patients suspected to develop renal diseases who attend the Specialist Hospital, Owerri into sterile, screw-capped universal containers and were inoculated onto CLED, EMB, Blood agar and MacConkey agar plates. These plates were then incubated at 37°C for 24 hours to obtain pure colonies. Out of the one hundred and twenty-seven (127) urine samples, forty-three (33.86%) samples yielded no significant growth whereas eighty-four (66.14%) yielded significant bacterial growth. The predominant Gram negative isolate from the samples was Escherichia coli 35(41.67%), while the least isolated Gram negative organism was Proteus mirabilis9(10.71%). Other Gram negative isolates include Klebsiella pneumoniae 24(28.57%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 16(19.05%). Among the Gram negative isolates, Klebsiella pneumoniae had the highest mean zone of inhibition; (8.28), with Escherichia coli having the least mean zone of inhibition; (4.45). Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis; (6.75), respectively. Ciprofloxacin which was the control antibiotic had statistical significant difference (P<0.05) on the Gram negative isolates when compared with the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the plants. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus mirabilis were completely resistant to the antimicrobial activity of Vernonia amygdalina aqueous extract. At 50mg/mL, Klebsiella pneumoniae was found to be resistant while at 75-150 mg/mL concentrations, an insignificant mean zone of inhibition was noted. Generally, the ethanolic extracts sho
Coping with Cancer: What Illness Perceptions Do?
Authors: Kumari Nisha , Dubey Anubhuti
Published: May 2022

Cancer has all the potentials to affect nearly each aspect of a person’s life. In fact, the complex treatment procedures of the diagnosed individual itself can create distress which can have a long term damaging impact on patients’ mental health and healing progress in itself. Hence, an understanding of cancer patients’ current experiences and the way they perceive their condition could be very helpful for both patients and health professionals. In that way, the present piece of work attempt to explore the varied illness perceptions of cancer patients to know whether it explain changes in the application of different coping strategies. Self-reported illness perception and coping strategies were investigated using revised illness perception questionnaire and Coping Operation Preference Enquiry (COPE-28). The sample comprised of 80 cancer patients (40 male, 40 female). The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that illness perception dimensions accounted a greater percentage of the variance in the coping strategies used by the participants to manage their illness. Cure/control perception over illness, attributing internal factors to illness causation and having better understanding about the illness encourages adaptive coping strategy which might be important in improving psychological and physical health too. The potential role of varied illness perceptions in the management of cancer is discussed in the light of Leventhal’s self-regulation model (1984).
Neither the Cohabitation of the Father nor the Grandmother Can Help Exclusive Breastfeeding in Indonesia: Empirical Research Using SUSENAS 2019 and 2020
Authors: Andhika Etania Ranu
Published: May 2022

Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first six months is the key to preventing malnutrition in children. However, EBF coverage in Indonesia is only 38%, while the target WHO set in 2030 is 70%. Therefore, targeting the actors behind EBF completeness is needed to boost the EBF rate. The research will uncover the impact of the daily sources of support (both maternal and paternal grandmothers, the father, and the domestic worker) and modifying factors on the EBF choices made by the mother. Using the 2019 and 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) data, probit regression suggests that no one's cohabitation with the mother significantly affects EBF completeness. In contrast, maternal characteristics (employment status, economic level, education completion, and residential area of living), baby’s gender, and father’s education become the most decisive factors. Since the leading actor is still the mother herself, to improve the EBF rate, the policy should be focused on helping breastfeeding mothers to face the challenges, especially in the workplace.
Does Government Expenditure Affect Poverty, Health, and Education? Evidence from Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Yusri Arifka
Published: May 2022

Economists have talked about government expenditure and its relation to poverty, health, and education for decades. Indeed, many theories and empirical evidence have been conducted since then. This study evaluates the relationship between Special Autonomy Fund (SAF) and poverty, health, and education indicators in Aceh province, Indonesia, using a panel dataset of 30 regions in the 2002-2018 period. Synthetic Control Method (SCM) is used as the model to accommodate the allocation of SAF to Aceh given by the central government since it is commonly applied to the cases of policy intervention in comparative case studies. This paper discovers that the SAF plays a vital role in lowering the poverty rate, escalating access to safe sanitation, and improving the net enrollment ratio of senior secondary schools. However, there is no prominent association between SAF allocation and access to safe water. This outcome variable shows positive and negative signs; therefore, a conclusion could not be provided.

Published: May 2022

There has been numerous technological advancements in dealing with major etiologies of lower limb amputation but lower limb amputation has been on the rise. According to Amoah et al (2018), it is estimated that about 145,299 people have been amputated in Ghana. Yet, estimates by WHO (2010) indicates that only 5-15% percent of Ghanaians in need of assistive technology only have access to it.
The objectives of this study is to assess the knowledge on usage of prostheses, determine the prevalence level of usage of prostheses, determine the factors that influence the use of prostheses and to identify the challenges of usage of prostheses among persons with lower limb amputation.
A descriptive research design which made use of a mixed (quantitative and qualitative) approach. The study was carried out within the confines of the Kumasi Metropolis from March, 2021 to September. The study involved 72 persons with lower limb amputation out of the 90 participants earlier proposed. 62 persons with lower limb amputation responded to a structured questionnaire whiles 10 other persons with lower limb amputation participated in an interview to help in the data collection to satisfy the objectives of the study. Data was analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) and thematic Analysis.
The findings reveal that most persons with lower limb amputation have good and very good knowledge of what prostheses are, the sources they can get prostheses from, prostheses training centers in Ghana. The number of persons with lower limb amputation who use prostheses are very low (40.3%) as opposed to the number who uses prostheses (59.7%). Cost is a major barrier to usage of prostheses among all the factors. Most persons with lower limb amputation said the prosthetic devices are very expensive unless through the benevolence of the society. The findings revealed that most persons with lower limb amputation experience pain when ambulating with the use of prostheses. Despite experiencing pain, they still use the prostheses.
This study concluded that prostheses have become very necessary to use because of the benefits derived from them. Prostheses have become more accessible in the advanced countries relative to that in lower income countries like Ghana and the major factor is attributed to the cost involved and the exchange rates of our currency.
It is recommended from evidence gathered from this study that a separate ministry which will be in the helm of affairs for only issues related to disability-related issues should be established so as to address the inadequacies and challenges faced by persons with disabilities in having access to assistive devices and more importantly subsidize the cost of prostheses.

The Construction Date of the Misis Bridge
Authors: DURUKAN Murat , GÖÇMEN İlkay
Published: May 2022

The Cilicia Region, which stretches between Korakesion and Alexandria Kat'Isson, is bordered by the Taurus Mountains in the north and the Mediterranean Sea in the south. Defined as Cilicia by the sources, the region serves as a natural bridge between Eastern and Western societies, and a significant route that provides communication between different cultures also passes through the region. Crossing the Gülek Pass, the route reaches Misis via Tarsus, then heads towards Mesopo-tamia. The nine-arch Misis Bridge is situated in Mopsu(h)estia (= Misis), which represents one of the important stops of this route. Even though the original construction of the bridge is associated with the Roman period, when and under which emperor it was built is controversial. Some resear¬chers relate the construction to the Valerian period, whereas others attribute it to the period of Constantius II. The aim of the study is to put forward a new view on the construction date of the Misis bridge. The ancient sources concerning the route, on which the bridge is located, reveal the significance of the road here. Additionally, it is also known that from the beginning of the Imperial period, Rome adopted a sensitive attitude in intervening in the turmoil in the east. It is understood that this route is of particular importance for Rome in relation to both the movements of the legions and the logistical support. Accordingly, it is seen that both views suggested as the construction date of the bridge are disputable and the suggested dates are too late for the bridge. Therefore, considering the early historical records, archaeological findings and the historical process, a new proposal has been developed regarding the chronological problems of the bridge.

Purpose. Establishment of theoretical regularities that make it possible to make such a choice of parameter values for a trailed disc harrow, which provides it with the desired directional stability, which, in turn, ensures a high-quality performance of the technological process for the disc-type machine-tractor unit.
Methods. The methods of the theory of agricultural machines were used for the research, analytical mechanics, higher mathematics, and methods of numerical calculations using a PC.
Results. According to the results of the study, it has been established that sufficient directional stability of a trailed disc harrow can be ensured with the correct choice of its width of capture, distance from the point of attachment to the center of resistance and the speed of the working movement. The optimal combination of these parameters of the disc harrow determines the maximum performance of the harrow machine-tractor unit with a satisfactory stability of its movement in the horizontal plane, which is provided after their determination using the obtained new analytical dependencies.
Soil disking is one of the methods of soil cultivation, which ensures its effective crushing, loosening, partial mixing and wrapping. Despite numerous researches of the disc harrow operation process, insufficient attention is still paid to the research of the motion stability of harrow machine-tractor units, especially trailed ones.
Conclusions
1. Satisfactory directional stability of the trailed disc harrow can be ensured with the correct choice of its working width, distance from the point of hitch to the center of resistance and the speed of the working movement.
2. The optimal combination of the design parameters of the disc harrow and the speed of the harrow machine-tractor unit, which determines its maximum productivity with satisfactory stability of the disc harrow movement in the horizontal plane, is ensured when they are determined using the new analytical dependencies.
3. The obtained theoretically mathematical dependencies can be used to solve a similar problem with respect to any other symmetric machine-tractor unit with a trailed technological part.
