Field experiments were conducted in Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during Kharif 2002 and summer 2003. The experimental soil was sandy clay loam with alkaline pH. The experiments were laid out in split plot design with three replications. The main pot consisted of two factors viz., crop geometry [45 x 25 cm (S_{1}) and 60 * 19 cm (S_{2}) | and intercropping systems [baby corn alone (C_{1}) baby corn + radish (C_{2}) and baby corn + coriander (C_{p}) ] Four integrated nutrient management practices ( N, - 100% of the recommended dose of NPK (150:60:40 kg ha) of baby corn; N_{2} - 50% NPK of baby corn + FYM + Azospirillum + Phosphobacteria; N_{2} - 50% NPK of baby corn + Poultry manure + Azospirillum + Phosphobacteria; N_{4} - 50% NPK of baby corn + Goat manure + Azospirillum + Phosphobacterial were assigned to sub plots. The experimental results revealed that weed population and weed DMP were higher with S_{2} than S i* Sole crop situation resulted higher weed population and weed DMP than intercropped baby corn. Baby corn with inorganic fertilizer recorded the lowest weed population and weed DMP than INM treated baby corn. The results were reverse for Weed Smothering Efficiency. Green cob yield of baby corn was higher (7976 and 7519 kg h * x ^ - 1 ) with S * than S_{r} Intercropping systems failed to influence the green cob yield. Combined use of a half NPK with poultry or goat manures along with bio-fertilizers (Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria) has produced significantly higher baby corn yield as compared to N, and N_{t} during both the seasons.

Field experiments were conducted at the Department of Agronomy, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore, to study the effect of moisture conservation and nitrogen management practices in fodder sorghum + cowpea intercropping system with different tree species. The treatments included, three tree species (Ailanthus excelsa, Ceiba pentandra and Emblica officinalis) and two moisture conservation practices (tied ridges and flat bed) in main plots and two nitrogen management practices (100 per cent N through fertilizer and 50 percent N through fertilizer and 50 per cent N through goat manure) in sub plots. The results revealed that sorghum + cowpea intercropping with E. officinalis under tied ridges with combined application of 50 per cent N through fertilizer and 50 percent N through goat manure recorded higher DMP, nutrient uptake and straw yield. The gross return, net return and BC ratio were also high under this treatment combination in normal rainfall year.

The immune system in insects involves in clearing the haemolymph of foreign pathogens by haemocytes and humoral factor. They can accomplish this in a couple of different ways. One is a cellular mediated response by physically clearing the haemolymph by phagocytosis, nodulation and encapsulation and the other is by humoral secretion of proteins. Pathogenic infection in silkworm, Bombyx mori L. is common and there is a possibility of differential response by haemocytes in different breeds to microbial infection. Hence, the differential response in the form of difference in Total haemocyte count (THC) and Differential haemocyte count (DHC) in susceptible and tolerant breeds were investigated under normal and Beauveria bassiana invasion conditions. Under normal condition, there was a gradual increase in THC as the age of the silkworm increases and high THC was recorded in Nistari, PM and NB4D2 (tolerant breeds) compared to susceptible breeds (NB7, NB18 and KA). There was a gradual increase in THC, gradual decrease in prohaemocyte and oenocyte counts and increase in plasmatocyte and granulocyte counts during the progressive infection by Beauveria bassiana.

Field experiments were conducted in groundnut - horse gram cropping sequence consecutively for two years. Composted coir pith (CCP), Tank silt (TS), Soil test based NPK and micronutrient (MN) mixture increased the yield of groundnut as well as horse gram besides improving the post harvest soil available NPK status. In groundnut the highest mean pod yield of 1875 Kg ha' (1993-94) and 1860 Kg ha (1994-95) were registered by the application of soil test based NPK along with MN mixture @ 12.5 kg ha which were 72.9 and 37.0 per cent increase over control. In horse gram the maximum mean gain yield of 993 kg ha¹ (1993-94) and 350 kg ha¹ (1994-95) were recorded by the combined application of Composted Coir Pith and Tank silt. The inorganic treatments recorded 18 and 30 per cent increase in yield over control during 1993-94 and 1994-95 respectively. Among the interaction of organic and inorganic treatments, application of Composted Coir Pith+ Soil test based NPK + MN mixture or Tank silt + soil test based NPK showed its superiority.

Field experiments were conducted at Agricultural college and Research Institute, Coimbatore to study the impact of weed management options on the nitrogen dynamics in the rhizosphere soil of two rice hybrids CORH2 and ADTRHI during 2001-02. Manual hand weeding was tested against conoweeding in which weeds were incorporated insitu in the field. Conoweeding set a favourable impact on the nitrogen fractions of the rhizosphere soil owing to the aeration of the soil rendered by the mechanical weeder due to soil stirring resulting in greater mobility of nitrogen in the rhizosphere region.

Casuraina equisetifolia is an important plantation tree which is propagated through seed. Seeds loose their initial viability of 40-50% rapidly and reach 5% at the end of one year. Keeping these in view, an attempt was made to develop a technology to slow down the speed of seed deterioration using chemicals and botanicals viz., neem (Azadirachta indica), turmeric (Curcuma longa), acorus (Acorus calamus), arappu (Albizzia amara), acetyl salicylic acid and halogenation. Evaluations were made at bimonthly intervals on physiological potential and enzyme activity of seeds viz., amylase, catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. The results indicated that neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder and acetyl salicilic acid is capable of sustaining the activity of the enzymes during the storage period which can inturn maintain the seed germination potential and seedling vigour as well.

Worldwide, the concern for environment, reduction in dependence on oil import and energy security are found to be three driving forces for shaping the pattern of technology development and searching for alternate energy sources. Biodiesel extracted from vegetable oil is one such renewable alternative under consideration. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of process variables on acid catalysed transesterification of Jatropha curcus oil. In acid catalysed transesterification, different variations of p-toluene sulphonic acid (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 %) and reaction time (12, 16 and 18 h) were adopted with constant molar ratio of 24:1 methanol to oil at constant temperature of 60°C. The methyl ester yield varied widely in the range of 20 to 64 percent for the process variables adopted. It was found that acid catalysis can provide high conversion rates but much longer times are required than for alkaline catalysts.

THE ECONOMICS OF THE CATTLE PROBLEM.

Published: August 2023

India has the reputation of maintaining the largest number of cattle in the world, though in respect of the number of cattle per head of population she lags behind new countries like the United States, Canada and the Argentine, and old ones which have specia- lised in animal husbandry, like Denmark and Holland. In cattle, as in other things, India's superiority seems to iie in quantity and not in quality. The singing of the glories of a few fine breeds like the Amrit Mahal, Kankrej, Gir, Sindhi, Ongole and Kanga- yam-to maintain or improve whose quality as draught or milking animals little organised effort had been put forth until recently- cannot cover the sins of multitudes of miserable mongrels seen all over the country. Our average bullock is a poor draught animal, an impediment to the introduction of improved implements. Our average cow is a very poor milker, giving, according to an autho- ritative estimate made a few years ago in our Presidency, a net return of 4 pies per day.

Published: August 2023

The terms, bacterium, conveys to many people the ideas of disease, infection and death. They seldom hear it used except by members of the veterinary and medical professions in connexion with diseases of man and animals, and have therefore been led to believe that most bacteria are disease producing. Comparatively few bacteria, however, cause disease, the vast majority are harmless, and many are of great industrial importance. Moreover, if it were not for the action of bacteria in nature, conditions would quickly arise which would render animal and plant life impossible in this world.
Co-operative Farming

In the brief time allowed to me I should like to impress on this Conference the advisability of starting Co-operative Farming Societies as a means of quickening the pace of agricultural produc- tion. We have in India so far been familiar only with one form of cooperation, that of credit and even in this the progress that has been made is but little compared with the ground that remains to be traversed. A new form of cooperation involving a most exact ing discipline may not appeal to our ryot population or to the authorities who are concerned in their welfare, but the task has to be attempted without any further delay.

Bellary is one of the foremost sugarcane producing districes in the Madras Presidency. It had 9751 acres (the highest in the Presidency) under sugarcane in 1905-6, Coimbatore and Godavari following with 9689 and 8418 acres respectively. Strangely however, the jaggery into which all the cane grown in the District gets converted is the worst type of cane jaggery produced in the Presidency. The cause of this with the best means of improving the quality of the jaggery was taken up for investigation by the Department last year and continued during the present year. It is proposed in the present paper to deal with the results so far obtained.

A Scheme of Rural Education and Reconstruction.
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003 Tamilnadu, K UNNIKRISHNA MENON
Published: August 2023

The villagers are mostly farmers of insufficient means. Before starting any work to improve the lot of the farmer one has to study the essential points of his psychology. Every one will admit that any scheme of work meant to improve the farmer must remain attractive to him. It must be attractive almost at the very outset. It is also true that nothing except an immediate money profit will serve to be the most attractive feature of any scheme. He is not sufficiently patient to wait long to obtain it; nor is he always cultured enough to study a situation so thoroughly as to satisfy himself that he has to hold on, spending some- thing upon it, so as to reap increased profits later. He is not also prepared to leave his village for even a couple of days to study profitable ways from elsewhere and to adopt them. He is almost always working under the firm belief that his ways are the best and people coming from elsewhere can therefore.render him little help in his own line of work, except when the new-comer is prepared to give him a loan to finance his own cultivation in his own. ways. He is also of very stong opinion that any change in his farming methods will bring him loss. He is fatalis tic enough, to believe that any loss sustained in his usual business is almost always due to bad season. He is seldom- able to assimilate theories and even facts lectured to hin or published in leaflets. Therefore the scheme of work with him must necessarily be one in the field in his own village bringing him increased profits in his own rupees annas and pies. Any profits made in a Government Farm run at Government expense or in a farm of a rich land- owner do seldom serve to appeal to his senses as realities.
Some facts of Importance to Paddy-Growers
Authors:   Assitant Paddy Specialist,Aduthurai, K VENKATARAMAN
Published: August 2023

The Paddy breeding station, Aduturai was started in 1922 and the selection-work on paddy that had previously been commenced at the old Manganallur Agricultural Farm, was continued at this station. As a result of several years of arduous work nine improved strains of paddy have been evolved and seed of these pure strains distributed to ryots in the Cauvery delta to be grown in place of the inferior, mixed, local seed. These Aduturai strains of paddy have proved very popular and the demand for seed is far in excess of the possible supply. Ryots who have grown these strains have appreciated their qualities of even heading, uniform ripening, and high yield. These good qualities shown by the crops raised from improved strains will be kept up only so long as the seed is kept pure and free from admixture of any kind. If care be not taken to keep the seed pure, the crop deteriorates and the yield diminishes in proportion to the degree of contamination in the seed. It is therefore very essential that precautions should be taken by every ryot for keeping the seed pure.

Rainfall and Karunganni Cotton- Yields at Kovilpatti
Authors:   Assitant Cotton Specialist,Kovilpatti, V RAMANATHAN
Published: August 2023

It is a matter of common knowledge that the yields of rainfed crops is a mathematical function of the rainfall. The potency of rainfall varies, on the one hand, not only with its magnitude and distribution, but also with the nature of the inter-relation between these two features and on the other, with the stage of plant growth at the time of its incidence and with the condition and the nature of the soil. In a plant like cotton, the growing and fruiting phases of which extend over a long period, the effects of rainfall are made more complicated, and any attempt to dis-entangle this knotty complex will only be in the nature of crude approximations as many of the individual and combined reactions are still unknown. Yet, it is quite essential on the part of the plant-breeder and the agriculturist to know, in a broad outline at least, the behaviour of the plant under. various weather conditions and the critical periods at: which the rainfall will have the best or the worst effects.: This will enable the breeder to evolve a type which will have the best fit between the rainfall conditions prevailing in a locality and the plant, or to seek means to accelerate or retard the growth in such a way that the prejudicial effects may be mitigated, if not averted.

SCIENCE OF NUTRITION Its Importance to India
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003 Tamilnadu, R MCCARRISON
Published: August 2023

I have chosen to speak on Nutrition, believing that for no country in the world has this Science a greater importance than for India; and for no part of India a greater importance than for the Madras Presidency. No country. has more need to profit by the newer knowledge of Nutrition, and none more opportunity to add to it. Millions of the Indian people are living on restricted diets which are either incapable of maintaining them in a state of normal nutrition and health, or capable only of sustaining them at a low level of physical efficiency. Malnutritional diseases are rife, while the great scourges of the Tropics-malaria, cholera, dysentery, leprosy-exact an immense toll from India's malnourished multitudes. In this Presidency alone deficiency diseases' of almost every kind abound, and the level of physical efficiency of the masses is, in general, low. But while this is so in certain parts of the Peninsula there are others where the inhabitants are unsurpassed by any race of mankind in physique and capacity for endurance and hard work. Nowhere is the composition of human dietaries more influenced by racial, religious, economic and climatic considerations and nowhere have foods and food-habits remained more consistently the same from one generation to another. So it is that the diverse races, comprising the population of India, afford an unrivalled, and almost wholly unexplored, source of information regarding the effects of diet on the physical efficiency of human beings. India has thus not only much to do in applying the newer knowledge of Nutrition and in surveying, in the light of this knowledge, the foods available for the use of her immense populations, but much to learn regarding their nutritional needs, and much-by such learning-to teach the rest of the world.

Probably ninety-nine out of every hundred people, when they think of the contributions of science to human welfare, recall the physical, chemical and mechanical inventions which produced the industrial revolution and are now engaged in the mechanisation of the world, and in the evolution of its new master, the centaur of the new civilization-that half-man, half-automobile, envisaged by that brilliant recent writer, Woodruff, in Platos American Republic. We are not accustomed to think of biological inventions; by which we mean, with Haldane, the establishment of a new relationship between man and other animals or plants, or between different human beings, provided that such relationship is one which comes primarily under the domain of biology, rather than physics, psychology, or ethics. The application of biology to the solution of human problems has as yet hardly begun. Haldane has shown that the number of great biological inventions can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and most of these were made before the dawn of history.

As technology grows, it affect our daily lives becomes more penetrating. Our private information may be violated when communications media are used, to achieve information security this paper was based on a new technique of steganography using cryptography, color model and genetic algorithm. First, the secret text was encrypted with the advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm. Second, the hiding was applied in two stages. First, the cover-image was converted in to the hue saturation intensity (HSI) color model and select one of the models, then divide it into a group of blocks and hiding the text in them by using least significant bit (LSB) method on specified bytes randomly, then using the genetic algorithm that calculates peak signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) for all blocks after the hiding process and thus obtain the best value for PSNR for the optimal block. Second, includes the final hiding of all blocks based on the results of the first stage of the best random distribution of bytes according to the results of the genetic algorithm. The PSNR and mean square error (MSE) measures were adopted to prove the accuracy and efficiency of the results.

Disclosure of social responsibility can be disclosed in the company’s annual report or sustainable report. Disclosure of corporate social responsibility can be measured using the GRI Index or ISR Index. This study aims to determine the comparison of social responsibility disclosure in each aspect based on the GRI Index with the ISR Index which is considered to be more representative of social responsibility disclosure in sharia entities. This study uses secondary data in the form of annual reports obtained from the website of each company that is the research sample. The number of samples in this study is 36 annual reports from 18 companies with sharia shares in the agricultural and mining sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2020-2021. The analytical techniques used in this study are scoring, descriptive statistics, classical assumption test and independent sample t test. The result of the study show that the investment and financial aspects, products and services, social, and environmental aspects based on the ISR Index are better than the GRI Index. Meanwhile, the aspects of labor and corporate governance based on the GRI Index are better than the ISR Index, and the measurement of social responsibility as a whole shows that disclosure with the GRI Index is better than the ISR Index.
Inclusivism: Ethical Values of Future Religious Education

Published: August 2023

Religious plurality and social pluralism in Indonesia are like a double-edged sword.� On the one hand, it can strengthen social ties and cooperation between social joints, but on the other hand, it is very vulnerable to conflicts, both inter-religious and inter-religious groups.� This paper describes how diversity also has an impact on educational institutions and the importance of providing moral awareness to students in schools to live side by side, in harmony and peace within the framework of plurality and humanity, especially in facing the social lifestyle in the industrial era 5.0. Inclusiveness is full of values of respect for differences, openness to accepting diversity, upholding humanity above individualistic interests, and a great willingness to blend in and stick together in brotherly bonds that actually should be used as ethical values in religious education in schools.� Thus, the purpose of this paper which is sourced from in-depth social analysis and relevant literature studies is to provide understanding and awareness that religious education in school institutions should move from just formalistic-dogmatic learning to be a substantial learning, egalitarian and educates students to promote moderate, tolerant and inclusive attitudes towards religious diversity and avoid potential social conflicts. �Building inclusivism in schools starts with creating a climate of religious education that is open to all and not divided based on the religion of the students.� Furthermore, religious education puts forward human values and universal goodness to eliminate bad prejudice and hatred towards different communities.

Objective We primarily aimed to investigate the attention network function among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using the Attention Network Test (ANT). The secondary objective was to observe whether the three attention networks of all participants were related to each other.Methods We included 28 parents of children with ASD and 28 well-matched parents of typically developing children. All participants underwent the neuropsychological assessment and ANT test. The three distinct attention networks, including alerting, orienting, and executive control, were also measured.Results Compared with controls, parents of children with ASD showed less-efficient alerting and executive control network (all p<0.05), but not orienting network (p=0.74). No significant correlation was found between the alerting, orienting, and executive control network for either group.Conclusion Our findings showed that parents of children with ASD had deficits in alerting and executive control attention functions. The deficits are indications of a broad autism phenotype.

Objective Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is an increasingly common behavioral addiction, with an estimated global prevalence of 3%. A variety of pharmacological treatments have been used to treat IGD, yet no review to date has synthesized clinical trials evaluating their efficacy. This systematic review therefore synthesized the literature reporting on clinical trials of pharmacological treatments for IGD.Methods We reviewed articles from MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed Central, CINAHL, and PsycINFO that were published as of March of 2022. A total of 828 articles were retrieved for review and 12 articles were included, reporting on a total of 724 participants.Results Most participants were male (98.6%), and all were currently living in South Korea. The most common drugs used to treat IGD were bupropion, methylphenidate, and a range of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The Young Internet Addiction Scale was the most frequently used to measure gaming-related outcomes. All studies reported reduced symptoms of IGD from pre- to post-treatment. Across all clinical trials, IGD symptom reductions following the administration of pharmacological treatments ranged from 15.4% to 51.4%. A risk of bias assessment indicated that only four studies had a low risk of bias.Conclusion Preliminary results suggest that a wide array of pharmacological interventions may be efficacious in the treatment of IGD. Future studies using double-blind randomized controlled trial designs, recruiting larger and more representative samples, and controlling for psychiatric comorbidities are needed to better inform understanding of pharmacological treatments for IGD.

Understanding of the War in “The Blockade Chronicle” by Boris Tishchenko
Authors: Matveeva Elena Yur’evna
Published: August 2023

The study aims to show the understanding of the war in the post-war creative work of Boris Tishchenko, embodying the most universal values of life. The paper describes the “Leningrad” symphony by D. D. Shostakovich (1941) as the personification of Leningraders’ suffering and resistance, as a symbol of confidence in victory; presents a brief biography of B. Tishchenko, a student and follower of D. D. Shostakovich; analyses the program symphony “The Blockade Chronicle”, which reflects the perception of the war in all its unsightliness, inhumanity and senselessness. The scientific novelty of the study lies in determining the main features of the program symphony “The Blockade Chronicle”, such as the cinematic quality and theatricality, presented in the form of recordings of the sound component reflecting real military events. Such a sound component is an integral part of the symphony and requires the use of an expanded percussion section in addition to a large symphony orchestra for its performance. As a result, it has been proved that the image of the war in B. Tishchenko’s symphony “The Blockade Chronicle” is primarily associated with the irretrievable loss of the most beautiful and pure things, with the loss of humanity by a person.
“I Sing of You, My Fatherland”: The Creative Work of Tambov Authors in the 1930s-1950s
Authors: Kaz’mina Elena Olegovna
Published: August 2023

The aim of the study is to identify the direction of the thematic sphere in the creative work of Tambov authors of the 1930s-1950s (composers, artists, theatre professionals). The paper determines the significant themes and motifs embodied in musical works, paintings, theatrical productions of artists of the Tambov region. The scientific novelty of the study is accounted for by the fact that it presents a panorama of the themes found in the creative work of Tambov authors of the 30s-50s of the XX century, which makes it possible to determine how the Soviet reality was reflected in the works under consideration. As a result of the study, it has been found that in the works of Tambov composers, artists, theatre directors of the 1930s-1950s, the emotional modes of this era are revealed, i.e. the enthusiasm of the “pioneers” in socialism building at the beginning of the period, the heroic opposition to and victory over fascism, the spirit-lifting efforts to rebuild the devastated country during the postwar years; in addition, it has been determined that in the 50s, the search for the image of a contemporary hero led to the authors’ interest in local history themes – the nature and people of the Tambov region.
Chamber and Vocal Creative Work of Joseph Haydn. Part 1
Authors: Tarasov Sergei Vasilevich
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this research paper is devoted to the still little-studied problem of identifying the relations between the vocal and instrumental factors in Haydn’s music. The ideas of the domestic and foreign scholars about Haydn’s creative work are being expanded and enriched with new data. In the paper the historical meaning of Haydn’s creative work in the ХХI century is defined not only by his innovative sonata-symphonic forms and the formation of the major classical genres of symphony, concert for a solo instrument with orchestra, quartet and sonata but Haydn’s significant contribution to the development of instrumental trio, opera, the Austro-German Lied. This rationale of this phenomenon is the scientific novelty of the study. As a result, it is concluded that the renewed interest of modern researchers towards the little-studied pages of the composer’s art heritage shows the reconsideration of the role of these genres in the evolution of the world musical art as the undeservingly neglected works of the great composer according to their depth of expression and originality of composition means are not inferior and even compete with the composer’s well-recognized compositions.
Music versus Politics
Authors: Kondakov Igor Vadimovich
Published: August 2023

This essay presents the situation concerning the music philosophy in the XX century: the factor of politics gradually was established in the paradigm of artistic culture. It is shown that the politics became a permanent violence in relation to art as in relation to life. This permanent violence is a will for power or a clear will for dominating life and art which can move apart and then inextricably intertwine. Thus, the politics appears in her unconventional artistic and aesthetic discourse: being aesthetic in life and artistic in art. In this paper the phenomenon of the origin of the indivisibility and immeasurable formula is characterized. Since then, life and politics cannot do without art which is their mirror as well as art tries to distance itself from society and politics but cannot break free of the shackles of the socio-political context and the relevant pragmatic discourse. This discourse leaves an indelible imprint on everything connected with art and aesthetics.
Piano Works for One Hand
Authors: Rokitskaya Polina Viktorovna
Published: August 2023

The study aims to substantiate that works for one hand can reveal the potential of the piano to a greater extent, as well as its genre and style range, becoming an original sphere not only of musical performance, but also of composer creativity in general. The paper presents the essence of the phenomenon of compositions for one hand in piano art; identifies the features of the embodiment and performance of works for one hand and genres of piano repertoire for one hand. As a result, it can be concluded that the emphasis on the technical side is often the peculiarity of the embodiment of works for one hand. These compositions by their very nature imply virtuosity and this parameter comes to the fore. Despite the genre and stylistic diversity of compositions written for one hand, in general composers are characterised by a noticeable common tendency, a creative desire to reveal the capabilities of performers, i.e. their virtuosity.
Conservation of National Traditions of Teaching Polyphony in the 110 Years History of Aleksey Saratov Conservatory
Authors: Svistunenko Tatiana Anatolevna
Published: August 2023

The aim of the research is to show the succession of the national traditions of teaching polyphony in the history of Aleksey Saratov Conservatory. In this article the teaching polyphony level based on the tra-ditions of Saint-Petersburg and Moscow Conservatories is described. The chronological stages of teaching polyphony in Saratov Conservatory are introduced. The pedagogical innovative experience of teachers-musicians L. M. Rudolf, G. E. Konus, I. A. Tutmanov, G. I. Litinsky, A. A. Brening is presented. They were
not only the followers of school of S. I. Taneiev (1856-1915) but the outstanding representatives of his poly-phonic school. The importance of S. I. Taneievv’s unique work ‘Convertible Counterpoint in the Strict Style’ is pointed out as its theoretical positions have been actively studied in the most prestigious institutions
in the world today. The scientific novelty lies in the substantiation that for all the years of Aleksey Saratov Conservatory exis¬tence the discipline polyphony has been studied at the highest level. As a result, it has been proven that each representative of Taneev school had made a great contribution into the development of teaching polyphony system in Saratov State Conservatory and had worked out their own specific methods of teaching which allowed a student to understand and master quite complex techniques for a short period of time.
Specificity of postmodern influence on the creative work of national composers
Authors: Bobneva Anna Valentinovna
Published: August 2023

The essay considers the problem of the influence of postmodernism, within which two cultural paradigms, i.e. globalisation and glocalisation, were formed, on the national art of composers. The confrontation between the trends of globalisation and glocalisation that emerged in the late XX century correlates with the new “innovative – traditional” opposition reflected in modern national cultures, which has the potential for conflict and therefore requires finding a way to overcome the oppositivity of cultures. As a result, the researcher substantiates two ways to solve the indicated problem: the heterogeneous system of a national composer’s style can react to the general postmodern process either by confrontation of universally European and locally ethnic tendencies or by their mediation, which implies that composers search for and find a way for these tendencies to coexist without contradiction.
