role of the Chinese piano school in the formation of the Chinese piano art
Authors: Yiran Feng
Published: November 2021

The relevance of the study is that the integrative role of compulsory piano learning in music education acquires the knowledge and skills of conscious work, which is considered the mainstream of the formation of the art of pianism in China. Most of it is conducted and implemented in territorially different environments of music schools to acquire knowledge, themes of perception of musical text, recognizing the degree of use of inherent potential of additional piano features related to increasing the effectiveness of learning activities. In the context of piano schools, a large number of students perceive the subject only as a hobby. For them, these measures are often reduced to the implementation of appropriate programmes. The piano, like any other subject, develops musicality and promotes reflection on the music piece. For some, the musical art of pianism acts as the only way to stimulate the harmonious imagination through which it is possible to learn to listen to chords. The piano is a unique source of inspiration for further musical development. The aim of the study is to reveal and examine the role of the Chinese piano school in the formation of Chinese art of pianism.

Authors: Shepel Yuri , Panchenko Olena , Zirka Vira , Fedina Olena
Published: November 2021

The article deals with the study of the value content of the dichotomy “one’s own – alien” in the English linguistic world picture. The novelty of the proposed study lies in the fact that the researcher does not proceed from a predetermined model of description construction, but the model is deducted from the material researched. The lexical units that can act as direct objectifies (keywords, cohyponyms and typical verbalizers) of the concepts “one’s own – alien” which are based on the idea of a stereotypical situation that explains the value content of the opposition in the English language consciousness, are analysed. The modern linguistic interpretation of the conceptual opposition “one’s own – alien” and verification of the research results is performed on the basis of analysis of dictionaries and media texts to compare associations with the concepts “one’s own – alien” of English speakers, to clarify the links of language units – representatives of the concepts “one’s own – alien” with the structures of knowledge about their denotations and with extraverbal reality, highlighting their mental characteristics and principles of functioning in English.

Fansubbing practices in Ukraine
Authors: Gach Nataliia
Published: November 2021

This research focuses on the analysis of the English non-professional subtitles of the Ukrainian films, produced by the amateur translators for whom English is a foreign language. Such exploration in the nature of fansubbing gives insights into the basic principles that define the notion of subtitling, examines the standards set to the audiovisual translation, and outlines the challenges fansubbers may face in the process of subtitling. The study is based on the following Ukrainian films of the second half of the XXth – beginning of the XXIst century: Chasing Two Hares (1961); Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965); Prayer for Hetman Mazepa (2001). The analysis of the films is conducted on the syntactic, lexical, and grammatical levels, as well as on the level of fansubs screen presentation (spatial and temporal parameters). The study discusses fansubbers’ translation decisions from the perspective of their correlation with the established subtitling guidelines, and their effect on the foreign audience.
Academization of bandura by bandurism exponents in Ukraine
Authors: Zinkiv Iryna Ya.
Published: November 2021

Ukrainian bandura underwent a long and difficult evolutionary path. Its academicization process took place in the XX-XXI centuries. The impact of prominent bandura craftsmen O. Korniievskyi, V. Tuzychenko, I. Skliar, and V. Herasymenko on the process of the Ukrainian bandura academization was studied. The authors devoted their work to historical assessment in the affirmation of the academized instruments of Chernihiv (or Kyiv-Chernihiv) and Kharkiv types. The specifics of the creation of the academized instrument in 1920–2010 by leading Ukrainian designers – bandura craftsmen became a purpose of the study. The abovementioned bandura craftsmen made a significant impact on the academization of diatonic banduras, their transformation into the instrument with a double-diatonic tuning system and bringing it closer to European trends. The particular roles of O. Korniievskyi, V. Tuzychenko, I. Skliar, and V. Herasymenko in this process were characterized. It was noted that the Kyiv method of play on an academic instrument is much more popular than Kharkiv-type which is why the latter needs additional attention.

Authors: Cheong Queena , Au-yeung Martin , Quon Stephanie , Concepcion Katsy , Kong Jude Dzevela
Published: November 2021

Background

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has left an unprecedented impact worldwide, countries such as the United States have reported the most substantial incidence of COVID-19 cases worldwide. Within the United States, various sociodemographic factors have played a role in the creation of regional disparities. Regional disparities have resulted in the unequal spread of disease between US counties, underscoring the need for efficient and accurate predictive modeling strategies to inform public health officials and reduce the burden on health care systems. Furthermore, despite the widespread accessibility of COVID-19 vaccines across the United States, vaccination rates have become stagnant, necessitating predictive modeling to identify important factors impacting vaccination uptake.

Objective

This study aims to determine the association between sociodemographic factors and vaccine uptake across counties in the United States.

Methods

Sociodemographic data on fully vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals were sourced from several online databases such as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Census Bureau COVID-19 Site. Machine learning analysis was performed using XGBoost and sociodemographic data.

Results

Our model predicted COVID-19 vaccination uptake across US counties with 62% accuracy. In addition, it identified location, education, ethnicity, income, and household access to the internet as the most critical sociodemographic features in predicting vaccination uptake in US counties. Lastly, the model produced a choropleth demonstrating areas of low and high vaccination rates, which can be used by health care authorities in future pandemics to visualize and prioritize areas of low vaccination and design targeted vaccination campaigns.

Conclusions

Our study reveals that sociodemographic characteristics are predictors of vaccine uptake rates across counties in the United States and, if leveraged appropriately, can assist policy makers and public health officials to understand vaccine uptake rates and craft policies to improve them.

Authors: Olumuyiwa Falowo Olusola
Published: November 2021

Geotechnical and geo-electrical investigations of Okitipupa has been carried out with the major objectives of establishing the subsoil/geology, evaluate the geotechnical properties and recommend appropriate foundation alternatives for building foundation construction. Seven borings were carried out with hand auger at two cone penetration test locations, and representative samples were collected and analyzed in the laboratory in accordance with relevant geotechnical engineering standards. In addition, six vertical electrical soundings (VES) were also conducted using Schlumberger configuration. The result of VES delineates three major geologic sequence comprising the topsoil/caprock, sand surficial aquifer, and sand intermediate aquifer. The topsoil has resistivity range of 242 – 1503 ohm-m and thickness of 3.4 - 20.9 m composed of clay sand and sand. This layer is capable of supporting shallow foundation such as simple spread, raft of reinforced concrete, with recommended allowable bearing pressure of 100 KN/m2 at depths of 1.0 m and 3.2 m in the northern and southern part of the study area respectively. The estimated settlement are less than 50 mm using foundation width of 0.6 m, but could be reduced by almost 50% if the width is greater than or equal to 2 m. The groundwater level is very deep (>10 m) and may not likely threatens the integrity of the foundation structures. The estimated allowable bearing capacity for strip footing (203 – 980 KN/m2), square footing (608 – 2940 KN/m2) within 1.4 m depth is appropriate. The capacity of driven (deep foundation) circular piles of diameters 400mm, 500mm, and 600mm, the recommended pile capacity varies at depth of 5 m (69 – 124 KN), 10 m (225 – 378 KN), and 15 m (470 – 766 KN), while that of bored circular pile ranges from (36 – 75 KN), 10 m (93 – 180 KN), and 15 m (170 – 317 KN).

Theoretical study on the nature of Gold-X(IVA) interaction
Authors: Zhang Wanli , Li Xinying
Published: November 2021

Structures, stabilities, and interactions of AuX (X = C - Pb) series are
theoretically investigated at CCSD(T) and B3LYP levels with extend basis
sets. Natural bond orbital analysis shows that the Au-X interaction is
resulted by the overlap of sp hybrid on X and 6s5d hybrid on Au atom.
Laplacian and total electronic energy density values at BCP shows the
“intermediate type” of Au-X (X = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) interactions and
covalent type of Au-C interaction. Moreover, analysis of electron
density deformation shows pronounced charge accumulation in the middle
of the region between lighter X and Au, suggesting obvious covalent
character of interaction. ELF shows increased covalency from X = Pb to X
= C. Energy decomposition analysis shows positive steric contribution
and negative quantum contributions to the Au-X interactions. Comparing
the interaction energy of AuC with other AuX series, the decrease of
interaction strength between them is caused by the positive contribution
of steric effect and the negative contribution of quantum and
electrostatic effects. Steric charge distribution shows interaction type
causes effects to distribution of steric charge. And steric energy is
correlated positively with the total interaction energy and correlated
positively with the steric charge deformation at BCP.
QoS prediction for service selection and recommendation with a deep latent features autoencoder
Authors: Merabet Fatima , Benmerzoug Djamel
Published: November 2021

The number of services on the Internet has increased rapidly in recent years. This makes it increasingly difficult for users to find the right services from a large number of the functionally equivalent candidate. In many cases, the number of services invoked by a user is quite limited, resulting in a large number of missing QoS values and sparseness of data. Consequently, predicting QoS values of the services is important for users to find the exact service among many functionally similar services. However, improving the accuracy of QoS prediction is still a problem. Despite the successful results of the proposed QoS prediction methods, there are still a set of issues that should be addressed, such as Sparsity and Overfitting. To address these issues and improve prediction accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for predicting QoS values and reduce prediction error. This framework named auto-encoder for neighbor features (Auto-NF) consists of three steps. In the first step, we propose an extended similarity computation method based on Euclidean distance to compute the similarity between users and find similar neighbors. In the second step, we form clusters of similar neighbors and partition the initial matrix into sub-matrices based on these clusters to reduce the data sparsity problem. In the third step, we propose a simple neural network autoencoder that can learn deep features and select an ideal number of latent factors to reduce the overfitting phenomenon. To validate and evaluate our method, we conduct a series of experiments use a real QoS dataset with different data densities. The experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves higher prediction accuracy compared to existing methods.

Published: November 2021

One form of honey adulteration is label adulteration for some premium honey such as uniflora honey from the honeybee species Trigona sp. One of the analytical methods that are currently developing and have the potential to perform the classification of premium honey in Indonesia is the UV spectroscopy method. In this study, an investigation was carried out on the effect of dilution on the performance of UV spectroscopy in the process of classifying Indonesian honey with different honeybees. A total of 4 types of honey samples with 10 samples each were used in this study. The honey sample was then diluted using distilled water. Each type of honey was given two dilution treatments, namely 1:20 (volume: volume) dilution of 5 samples and 1:40 (volume: volume) dilution of 5 samples. Spectral data were taken using a UV-visible spectrometer with a wavelength of 190-1100 nm (Genesys™ 10S UV-Vis, Thermo Scientific, USA) using the transmittance mode. The results of spectra analysis generally show that the sample with a 1:20 dilution has a higher absorbance intensity for both the original and modified spectra. The PCA results for each dilution showed that the honey samples could be separated into four different clusters for both 1:20 and 1:40 dilutions. The results of PCA analysis using all samples showed that the honey samples were classified into eight different clusters showing a significant effect of differences in honey sample dilution on the classification process of honey samples based on differences in the types of honeybees.

Published: November 2021

Ce4+-doped nanometer ZnO powder was synthesized by so-l gel method. The microstructures and properties of the samples were characterized through XRD, UV-Vis and FTIR. The results indicated that the Ce4+ was successfully incorporated into ZnO, and the diameter of the nanometer was about 10.7nm. It induced the redshifting in the UV-Vis spectra. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was investigated using methylene blue (MB) as the model reaction under irradiation with ultraviolet light. The results showed that the doping of Ce4+ could increase the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanopowders and that the best molar ratio of Ce4+ was n(Ce)/n(Zn) = 0.05, that the surfactant was sodium dodecyl sulfate, and that the nanometer ZnO was calcinated at 550 ℃ for 3 hours. Meanwhile, it inspected the effect of photocatalytic efficiency through the pH of MB, the amount of catalyst, and illumination time. The experimental results revealed that the initial mass concentration of MB was 10 mg/L, that the pH value was 7-8, that the dosage of Ce4+/ZnO photo-catalyst was 5 g/L, that the UV-irradiation time was 2 h, and that the removal rate of MB reached above 85%. Under the optimized conditions, the degradation rate of real dye wastewater was up to 87.67% and the removal efficiency of COD was 63.5%.
Нuman right to virtual reality in the healthcare: legal issues and enforcement problems
Authors: SHEVCHUK Oleksandr , BULULUKOV Oleg , LYSODYED Oleksandr , MAMONOVA Valentyna , MATAT Yurii
Published: November 2021

A key feature of modern legal relations in the healthcare sector is the widespread use of digital technologies. This study describes certain aspects of the legal regulation of the human right to virtual reality in the healthcare sector and the problems of law enforcement. The methodology of this work is based on an interdisciplinary approach using comparative legal, dialectical and systemic methods. The main objective of this article is to determine the forms and directions of the use of virtual reality in health care in the context of human rights. It is emphasized that the introduction of smart technologies, virtual reality in the healthcare sector is the main modern trend in the development of healthcare in order to improve the provision of healthcare services. The human right to use virtual reality in healthcare is to ensure the actions of virtual reality users within the framework of virtual information relations in the healthcare sector, which are governed by the relevant legal norms. The human right to use virtual reality in healthcare is a fourth generation of human rights. These rights include all rights that have arisen as a result of scientific progress, the development of morality, namely "somatic rights", as well as information rights. The use of virtual reality in the healthcare sector is possible in the following areas, namely: (1) medical training, (2) surgical modeling, (3) rehabilitation, (4) psychotherapy and psychology, (5) ophthalmology, (6) telemedicine, etc. It is stated that user safety, privacy, freedom of expression, ethics and copyright protection in the use of virtual reality in healthcare require legislative regulation, taking into account the European experience. The virtual space in the healthcare sector provides opportunities for the realization of human rights and freedoms regarding the preservation of their health, but can be used to carry out actions that contradict the norms of law and have illegal behavior. The latter requires an improvement in the regulatory framework when using the virtual space of the healthcare sector to protect the interests of the individual, society and the state using international standards.
How the dignity was understood in law in past and how it should be today
Authors: NAJMAN Michał
Published: November 2021

In the current legal discourse, the concept of dignity is becoming more common. It is considered the highest axiom, which every violation deserves to be condemned. However, we forget about the conceptual basis of a given concept, its history and original overtones. We do not remember that certain concepts are created solely to systematize the created or existing social and political situations. The purpose of the article is to attempt to answer the question of how to understand the concept of dignity in legal discourse. It is worth bearing in mind that dignity is indicated as "this" (value or maybe something else) from which human rights originate. That is why it should be rejected as a value because the value itself is not a value. However, one must opt for an objective understanding of dignity, rejecting its moral background proposed, among others by the doctrine of the Catholic Church, if we want to treat it as a legal category.

Loneliness is a feeling of emptiness that a person feels as a result of a lack of intimacy with others. The development of social media technology is also one of the factors that affect a person's loneliness. Results from previous research have shown that the use of social media can make a person lonely. To reduce feelings of loneliness, one must have mindfulness. The purpose of this study was to test the role of mindfulness moderation against the intensity of relationships of Instagram use and loneliness. The research uses non-experimental quantitative methods. Measuring instruments used in this study are UCLA Loneliness scale version 3, Instagram usage intensity measuring instrument, and Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills. The participants of this study were 544 people who are Indonesian residents aged 20-40 years active users of Instagram.The results of this study show that there is no significant relationship between the intensity of Instagram use and loneliness, so the role of mindfulness moderation cannot be proven.  Kesepian merupakan perasaan hampa yang dirasakan seseorang akibat dari kurangnya keintiman dengan orang lain. Perkembangan teknologi sosial media juga menjadi salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi rasa kesepian seseorang. Hasil dari penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan sosial media dapat menyebabkan seseorang menjadi kesepian.

Research subject. The results of studying the geology and mineralogy of the Poldnevskoye deposit of demantoid are presented. Material and methods. The factual material was collected during feld research. Demantoid samples were pro vided by mine owners. Rock and vein minerals were studied in hand specimens, polished specimens and thin sections; the chemical composition was determined by X-ray ﬂuorescence spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe X-ray spectral microanalysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with laser sampling (LA-ICP-MS).

Results. The Korkodinsky ultrabasic massif containing the deposit experienced strong decompression and syndecompression mineral formation during the ascent. At an early stage, veins of clinopyroxenite formed in dunite, which also experienced decompression cracking. Then the rocks underwent antigoritization and the appearance of vein antigorite, which was replaced by veins of clinochrysotile (+ magnetite ± carbonate ± demantoid). This was followed by the formation of lizardite (+ magnetite ± carbonate ± demantoid), which also developed along the earlier vein serpentines. Demantoid is represented by rounded grains and rounded grain aggregates with the signs of growth under the conditions of allround extension. The predominant color is brownish-green, yellow-green, rarely green and dark green. Green and dark green demantoids contain Cr2O3 0.52–2.3 wt %. In the central part of some grains and demantoid aggregates, a brown color is observed, which binds to TiO2, the content of which reaches 1 wt %. The demantoids of the Poldnevskoye deposit bear typomorphic features of the Ural-type demantoids (inclusions of the “horse’s tail” type). The distribution of demantoid is nested. The length of the veins with demantoid is frst meters. Their pillar-like shape is assumed. Conclusion.

Demantoids from nests in serpentinized massive or brecciform dunites are more intact; demantoid nests in strongly serpentinized rocks were tectonic crushed and contain little gemstone.

The leading purpose of this work is the development of efficient culture conditions to induce calli from cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) under in vitro conditions. The mature seeds were surface sterilized with combinations of different concentrations of ethanol and NaOCl in different time durations and  were germinated on MS basal medium. The results revealed that the best sterilization method of cabbage seeds was by using 70% ethanol for one minute, followed by 15 min in 2% (NaOCl). Seedlings were used as donor sources for hypocotyls, cotyledon leaves, true leaves, and shoot tip explants. These explants were cultured on different combinations of cytokinins (TDZ, BAP, Ad) and auxins (IAA, NAA, 2, 4-D) then implanted in Murashige and Skoog (MS) media. 4 weeks after culturing, a significant difference was found among the explants in response to plant hormones. The maximum percentage of callus induction (100%) was using the combinations of 1 BAP + 1 2, 4-D, 1 BAP + 1 NAA, and 1 BAP + 2 2,4-D mg. l-1. In addition, explants responses varied and the hypocotyls showed a superior result (85.71 %) as compared to other explants. For callus fresh weight, the combination of 0.22 TDZ + 79.9 Ad mg. l-1    had a significant effect, causing the highest fresh weight (0.2745g), while control treatment gave the lowest mean of 0.0066 g. Data showed that cotyledon explants were significantly superior in giving highest callus fresh weight with the mean of 0.1723 g. On the other hand, hypocotyl explants gave the lowest mean, reaching 0.1542 g.
GOOD FAITH IN TRIPS COMPULSORY LICENSING OF PHARMACEUTICAL PATENTS: LESSONS FROM PREVIOUS PANDEMIC CASES

Published: November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic impacts the world of patents as countries prepare their legal framework to ease the process of compulsory licensing. Some like India and South Africa even went further by proposing a suspension for patents needed to combat COVID-19 which is still under discussion. It is a real possibility that a patented drug that is effective against COVID-19 would potentially see compulsory licensing in many countries its patent holder is doing business. This article discusses why compulsory licensing is an essential issue by examining its legitimacy, previous cases of compulsory licensing, and the conduct of states in cases of compulsory licensing issuance, particularly in examples of Thailand, Brazil, and India. The article will examine ways of remedy against compulsory licensing, including a theoretical possibility for constitutional review of treaties. The remedies discussed shall include international and domestic remedies, both litigation and alternative measures. The research shall use qualitative research methods with the use of primary and secondary legal sources. The result of this article found that a combination of soft law power of the Doha Declaration and the invocation of subsequent compulsory licensing cases be the support pillars of compulsory licensing practice. However, the practice of compulsory licensing both by the patent holder and the state actors is still not performed entirely in good faith according to the Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties (VCLT) 1969 and the TRIPS Agreement. Hence, such patent holders need to be familiar with both international and domestic remedies, especially the possibility for constitutional review of treaties remedies.

The AEC is the founder of the ASEAN Community and the formation of regional economic integration, which was implemented in 2015. The implementation of ASEAN is made up of the flow of services/goods on a single product and market basis, skilled labour, investment, and free capital flows between countries in the ASEAN region. As an opportunity at the time of employment and as a substitute for unemployment, the Indonesian state must be utilized free of skilled labour. The issues that have arisen are how the employment arrangements in Indonesia are? How to optimize Indonesia’s employment arrangements in the AEC era? The method of approaching this research is the normative juridical method. The research shows that there are arrangements in the field of manpower that help realize quality human resources and skilled labour. It also states that Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and other policies that provide job training and certification of work competencies that optimize employment to be more qualified, skilled, and competitive and recognized by other ASEAN countries in facing the AEC.

Currently, infections caused by Mycoplasma genitalium are ones the most common sexually transmitted infections. Their prevalence is varied from 1.3% to 15.9%. Infections caused by M.genitalium may lead to urethritis in men and a wide spectrum of diseases in women. Antibiotic resistance now is one of the most emerging problems both in the scientific and in the healthcare fields. The usage of antimicrobials inhibiting cell wall synthesis for the treatment of M.genitalium is ineffective, and resistance to macrolides and fluoroquinolones is increasing rapidly. M.genitalium infections diagnostics is complicated due to specific conditions and duration of culture methods. The usage of nucleic acid amplification techniques is the most relevant for laboratory diagnostics, and is used in existing assays. This review compiles current data on the prevalence, molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and antibiotic resistance, as well as diagnostics methods of M.genitalium.
