This type of research was qualitative with an approach to analyzing the content of objectivity of generalization structures. The theory used was the theory of understanding analysis, song structure, arrangements, choir arrangement techniques, (chord progression) and contrapung. Data in this study was taken from literature studies, interviews and experiment. The results of the study obtains that the Bungong Jeumpa song has two-part of  song form, namely period A which is built two phrases, namely a and x phrases and period B which is built two phrases, namely b and a phrases'. Bungong Jeumpa song is arranged based on the structure of the song including the intro, the core part of the song and coda. In arranging, Paul Widyawan is not only based on the initial chord progression, but also developing the chord become more varied and added non harmonic tones. Cadence in Bungong Jeumpa is authentic half, imperfect authentic, perfect authentic and picardie third cadences. Patternically, the movement of the tones in the four octaves of the melody moves in a non-parallel manner. Motus is between soprano and alto tends to be parallel (motus rectus), motus is between soprano and tenor tends to deviate (motus obliqus) and motus is between soprano and bass also tends to deviate (motus obliqus). Besides, Paul Widyawan adopts the contrapung (counterpoint) theory of conventional western music which the sound on cantus firmus is not always be in the soprano (keep moving). Keywords:    Analysis, song structure, chord and cadence progression, motus and contrapung.

Authors: Maestro Esy , Mudjiran Mudjiran
Published: September 2021

Thedevelopment of music in modern and urban society today is not always driven by the awareness of the importance of formal education in the field of music itself. The behavior of the community that develops in the surrounding environment, psychologically has triggered   the interest of some individuals to engage in the phenomenon of populist music culture, one of which is budaya K-pop who participated in fertilizing music talent search competitions such astelevision, initiated bylocalgovernments, and certain nongovernmental organizations. Many parents consider that their children need to take part  either  as serious participants or just perform in the  event. Many young people and their parents are willingto spendmoney, time, energy, and   cost in order to be exposed to the event that is considered prestigious. The continuation is predictable, while the prizes are obtained,of coursepopularity  follows, because they will be widely published by the services of the media and television. A number  of thesefinancial r ewards  and popularity  will be  enjoyable. The behavior to repeat  and  keep repeating the participation  ofchildren in this event , aslong asitcauses them to havebeen trapped in the behavior of operant conditioning. So BF. Skinner has explained that if a stimulus produces a pleasant reward support  capacity,there  will be consequences for repeated behavioral  responses.   Because it will repeat itself, some young people are trying to develop their musical interests by learning music from an early age or studying it in formal education. But the irony for some of them is that it synergizes with the impatience of their parents, to learn music in more results-oriented and   instantaneous music courses. The  managers of this kind of non-formal music education institutions seem to also care about the quality of music education, unless they also feel equally profiting momentarily from this phenomenon. Eventually many participants of the  courseand tutors   were disappointed at the incompatibility of the results obtained with all the power that had been sacrificed. In fact, it is still the really talented children who continue to advance to win this talent search competition, even though there are actually some of these champions who learn or do not need to study in courses and less private  music.Keywords:Music Competition, Blessing,  Operant Conditioning
Design of a LLC Resonant Converter for Powering a PEM Electrolyzer
Authors: G. Vitale  , F. Castaldi  , D. Guilbert
Published: September 2021

This paper proposes the design of a LLC resonant converter to supply a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer. The PEM requires a low voltage with high current, a reduced output voltage ripple, and an overdamped dynamic behavior of the converter to avoid voltage overshoots. The designed converter allows satisfying the design constraints, minimizing switching and reverse recovery losses; the efficiency is influenced mainly by the output rectifier's conduction losses.
Protection of Power Semiconductors in Inverters, using Fuses and their Coordination with the Protection Schemes of the Distribution System

Published: September 2021

The integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) implies an important challenge for the protection of the distribution network, due to the incorporation of devices with less capacity to withstand normal disturbances in distribution systems, particularly for overcurrents and overvoltages. The increasingly widespread use of power electronics, incorporated in rectifiers and inverters, which due to its weakness requires high-speed protection devices, complicates coordination with the traditional protection of distribution systems. Converters (rectifiers and inverters) require ultra-fast protection against high current faults, conditions that currently only meet high breaking capacity fuses. The response characteristics of these ultra-fast fuses, oblige the professional in charge of the protection of the distribution system to have a deep knowledge about the behavior of the power electronics in the face of overcurrents, and to know also how the fuses, through the selection of its rated values and characteristic curves protects it. Coordination of the rating values and characteristics of these fuses with their counterparts (when they exist) of traditional protection devices is the main objective of this article. Particular terms are explained in detail, such as fault current asymmetry and its effect on the coordination of protections, specific energy, etc. It is concluded that deep knowledge of the dissimilar characteristics of power electronics devices and the usual devices of distribution networks, with regard to their protections, are essential to obtain a maximum use of the traditional scheme with the addition of DER.

Real-Time Experimental Assessment of a New MPPT Algorithm Based on the Direct Detection of the Short-Circuit Current for a PV System
Authors: C. B. Nzoundja Fapi  , P. Wira  , M. Kamta
Published: September 2021

To substantially increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems, it is important that the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system has an output close to 100%.This process is handled by MPPT algorithms such as Fractional Open-Circuit Voltage (FOCV), Perturb and Observe (P&O), Fractional Short-Circuit Current (FSCC), Incremental Conductance (INC), Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and Neural Network (NN) controllers. The FSCC algorithm is simple to be implemented and uses only one current sensor. This method is based on the unique existence of the linear approximation between the Maximum Power Point (MPP) current and the short-circuit current in standard conditions. The speed of this MPPT optimization technic is fast, however this algorithm needs to short-circuit the PV panel each time in order to obtain the short circuit current. This process leads to energy losses and high oscillations. In order to improve the FSCC algorithm, we propose a method based on the direct detection of the short circuit current by simply reading the output current of the PV panel. This value allows directly calculating the short circuit current by incrementing or decrementing the solar irradiation. Experimental results show time response attenuation, little oscillations, power losses reduction and better MPPT accuracy of the enhanced algorithm compared to the conventional FSCC method.

Published: September 2021

The study discusses and analyzes the characterization of a secondary character in the movie Black Panther, Erik Killmonger whose status as a villain described as a Machiavellian; a person known to be gruesome and unreliable to acquire everything he desires by any means necessary. The study functions as a source of knowledge for everyone who wishes to comprehend the deeper issue of a secondary character existence in a movie who does not get enough recognition, unlike the main character. This study used collecting and observing methods to acquire the data, Black Panther movie along with the movie script. A Qualitative research method is used to answer the problems of the study. It examined Killmonger’s characterization by using three theories; tridimensional aspects, Black Nationalism, and Machiavellianism. Discussion of Black History counts as a great necessity to give a clearer sense of the character’s background who described as an African-American male. Lastly, a descriptive method to analyze the problems and present the analysis is chosen to complete this study. The results of this study found innovative discussions on a Machiavellian character on the parameters of self-determination, nationalism, and racial prejudice. Killmonger’s Machiavellian character is categorized to have “cold” emotionality, lack of empathy, and manipulative. The study results also delivered fundamental truths about the current political and cultural situation in the United States, in which people still seek persistence in their everyday lives based on racial boundaries reflected by Killmonger’s mission as an African-American.

Drawing empirical evidence from a telecommunications firm in Sri Lanka this paper reports on a case study of how strategic management accounting (SMA) tools form a package. We deployed the qualitative method and case study approach, and in-depth face-to-face interviews with key personnel engaged in the practice of SMA in the firm and reviewed documents to collect data. Our findings indicated that the firm used a bundle of SMA tools relating to competitors, customers, cost, and performance, essentially as a package. Findings further suggested that the use of SMA tools as a package gives rise to crucial implications in the form of interactions and contradictions, which were managed through reconciliation statements, analysis of variances, discussions, meetings, and informal communications. This research contributes to the management accounting literature by developing novel insights on the notion of 'SMA tools as a package'. From a theoretical stance, it offers a framework to explore SMA tools as a package, capitalising on prior literature and field data from the case study firm. It also provides learning points to practitioners regarding the simultaneous use of a collection of SMA tools as a 'package' to support organisational decision making. Keywords: strategic management accounting, package, case study

This research studied the impact of internal control on financial performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in an emerging economy. The studying framework was derived from the Agency Theory to examine the relationship between internal control and organizational performance in SMEs. The paper used a survey and non-probability sampling and applied regression analysis to assess this effect on SMEs in Hanoi, Vietnam. Internal control consisted of five elements (including control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication systems, and monitoring activities) by COSO. SME’s performance was measured by ROA primarily. This research analyzed data using SPSS and SmartPLS softwares. Using a sample of 94 respondents, the results show that the control environment which is a dimension of internal control has a positive influence on the performance of SMEs in this case. Other dimensions of internal control that are control activities, information and communication system, risk assessment, and monitoring activities showed insignificant impacts on performance of SMEs but the results still give some meaningful insights for SMEs in Vietnam. The results of this paper provide practical insights on the role of internal control for researchers and business managers. Keywords: internal control, performance, small and medium-sized enterprises
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN THE TIME OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: MARKOVIČ ROMAN , ŽIŠKA PETER , JAROMÍR ŠIMONEK
Published: September 2021

On 31 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global state of public health threat following the outbreak of a new coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 infection. To prevent spreading of the disease, various measures such as closing institutions, curfews, locking the country, and targeted quarantine for suspects and infected people are implemented in different countries. Physical inactivity caused by long-term quarantine measures may reduce the regulatory capacity of organ systems to resist viral infections, such as the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. This article aims to advise on how the physical population should exercise physical activity and athletes who are quarantined or, as a result of the measures, are unable to fully exercise in public facilities. As a solution to the lack of physical activity, taking into account the limitations of this time, we proposed a movement program, which we want to contribute to the prevention of disease in COVID-19 and to better manage the current pandemic situation.
Role of colour in ecological approach to product and material design
Authors: Otiepková Soňa
Published: September 2021

The aim of this research paper is to map, document and classify new, progressive and perspective approaches to colour in product and material design. The purpose is to identify the impact and importance of colour in the creation of new materials and products from an ecological point of view. The majority of current progressive approaches to design creation and research is set in an ecological framework, taking into account their impact on the environment. The question is not whether colour is present in this process, but rather where it stands in this process, whether it can help it and how much it affects it. One of the objectives of this article is to raise awareness in this area and to arouse interest in and discussion on this topic. The theme of colours in design is often overlooked and relegated to the background. The results of several scientific studies on the impact of colour on product evaluation and consumer shopping behaviour suggest the potential of this topic and open up space for further research. In this research paper, we consider the approach of product and material designers and researchers to colour in an ecological context, as a stand-alone design and material creation group. Within this main group, individual approaches can be classified into four basic principles, which the paper defines and describes. They are analysed and researched in more depth through specific examples of the work of various designers. The principles have no fixed boundaries, they are not isolated. They influence or follow each other. This classification of the approach to colour in an ecological context allows us primarily to talk about it more professionally and attempt to define its importance and role in individual approach. Ultimately, it helps us answer the question of whether and how colour can affect the process of changing human interaction with the environment.

Background: Bovine mastitis is a common infectious disease with a serious threat to the dairy industry and public health. Mastitis is a polygenetic trait under the control of many genes. In the current study, our research attempted to address the role of mastitis-associated genes in various signalings including parasitic, viral, cancer and fungal diseases by using online bioinformatics software. Methods: We selected mastitis-associated genes from already published data and using online bioinformatics tools including DAVID and String classified the pathological role of relevant genes. A Venn diagram was used to show the status of overlapping genes among different biological function processes. Result: This study revealed that the genes gathered in published resources of mastitis were significantly correlated with influenza A, chagas disease, leishmaniasis, toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, cancer signaling, hepatitis B, type I & II diabetes mellitus and prion diseases biological pathways. Based on our findings, we concluded that mastitis-linked genes could be used as markers for many other diseases. Moreover, the bioinformatics tools applied in the current study might be helpful in screening the genes involved in one disease and their association with other diseases as well.

The present experiment aimed to evaluate the partial replacement of soybean with slow-release urea (Optigen 1200™) in the diet of lactating cows for 84 d. Three-hundred multiparous lactating Holstein (635 ± 25 kg of body weight, BW) cows were stratified by live body weight; parity and previous milk production were randomly assigned into two experimental groups with 150 cows per each treatment. In the control treatment, 25 g soybean meal was replaced by 5.7 g slow-release urea for 84 d. Optigen treatment did not affect feed intake, daily milk production, milk composition, or milk (feed) efficiency; however, it increased (P<0.01) total BW gain and daily BW gain. Optigen treatment increased (P<0.01) the digestibility of crude protein and neutral detergent fiber. Optigen treatment increased (P<0.01) estimated N balance, milk urea-N, and net energy (NE) for gain. Without affecting blood total protein, creatinine, urea-N, triglycerides, glucose, β-hydroxybutyrate, or non-esterified free fatty acids, Optigen treatment increased the concentrations of blood albumin and cholesterol compared to the control (P<0.05). In conclusion, slow-release urea could replace soybean meal in ruminant diets with no adverse effects on feed intake, nitrogen utilization, or digestibility; however, it improved the total tract digestibility of fiber and crude protein in cows.
