EFFECT OF PLASTIC MULCHING AND PESTICIDE APPLICATION ON ACTIVE AND STABLE CARBON IN VOLCANIC SOILS, WEST SUMATRA
Authors: Kamil Maulana , Rachim Annisa , Umami Irwin Mirza , Kamarudin Khairun Nisa , Hermansah Hermansah
Published: July 2023

Agricultural intensification plays an important role in sustaining productivity. Plastic mulching and the application of pesticides in crop cultivation have become inevitable to achieve high yield production. This study was aimed to determine the effect of plastic mulching and pesticide applications on carbon (C) fractions. The field experiment was designed using a completely randomized design with two factors consisting of plastic mulching and the application of pesticide at two levels (with and without) at each treatment. All the treatments were prepared for three replications. The soil carbon fractions data collected includes active C and humic acid as stable C fractions. The findings of this research showed that both active and stable C fractions were not significantly influenced by plastic mulching and pesticide applications. The active and stable C fractions were ranging from 1.40 to 1.42 g/kg and from 193.3 to 220 g/kg, respectively. These results might be attributed to the period of the study. The duration of this study might be not sufficient to capture any potential long-term changes in soil C fractions induced by the treatments. Thus, further research should consider extending the experiment duration to assess the long-term effects of the agricultural practices to C fractions.

Published: July 2023

Communal land restoration programs in Ethiopia overlooked the socio-economic context and decision behavior of smallholder farmers for better planning and intervention. Thus, studies related to socio-economic aspects and decision behaviors of smallholder farmers prior to the implementation of communal degraded land restoration are scanty. This study assessed the socio-economic characteristics and decisions making of smallholder farmers in degraded communal land restoration. The kebele under study was purposively selected near the communal degraded land for future intervention. Cross-sectional data were collected from 94 smallholder farmers selected using a systematic random sampling method. Binary logit was employed to see determinants of farmers’ decision to participate in the rehabilitation of communal degraded land. The study result revealed that attitude towards village leaders and labor availability positively determines farmers’ decision, while credit to access and absence of local institutions negatively influence the willingness of farmers to participate in communal land restoration. It seems that the socio-economic base of smallholder farmers did not have a strong linkage for their decision in the land restoration effort. The findings generally suggest that there should be locally based capacity building of the community in a participatory approach for land restoration efforts.

Published: July 2023

Entisols are soils that are widely used in Indonesia, both for irrigated and rainfed rice fields, for vegetable cultivation, and others. Vermicompost also contains many of the nutrients available to plants and increases soil porosity, soil aeration, and humidity, and controls soil erosion so that it can help in buffering toxins for plants and promoting plant growth. Corn is a cereal crop that is the second most important food crop in Indonesia besides rice. The volume of corn imports is higher than exports, this is due to the high demand for corn but domestic corn production has not been able to fulfill it. The experimental design used was a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD), seven levels of vermicompost doses, namely 0; 2.5; 5.0; 7.5; 10; 12.5; and 15 tons ha-1) each repeated 4 times. This study aims to determine the dose of vermicompost fertilizer that can improve the properties of Entisols and yields of maize (Zea mays L.). The application of vermicompost fertilizer with seven dose levels had a significant effect on N nutrient levels in coastal Entisols. Doses of vermicompost were able to increase dry stover weight, cob weight with husk, and cob weight without husk of corn plants.

Published: July 2023

Expanding and managing current habitat and species protection measures is at the heart of the European biodiversity strategy. A structured approach to gain insights into such issues is systematic conservation planning, which utilizes techniques from decision theory to identify places and actions that contribute most effectively to policy objectives given a set of constraints. Yet culturally and historically determined European landscapes make the implementation of any conservation plans challenging, requiring an analysis of synergies and trade-offs before implementation. In this work, we review the scientific literature for evidence of previous conservation planning approaches, highlighting recent advances and success stories. We find that the conceptual characteristics of European conservation planning studies likely reduced their potential in contributing to better-informed decisions. We outline pathways towards improving the uptake of decision theory and multi-criteria conservation planning at various scales, particularly highlighting the need for (a) open data and intuitive tools, (b) the integration of biodiversity-focused conservation planning with multiple objectives, (c) accounting of dynamic ecological processes and functions, and (d) better facilitation of entry-points and codesign practices of conservation planning scenarios with stakeholders. By adopting & improving these practices, European conservation planning might become more actionable and adaptable towards implementable policy outcomes.
Establishing trust in automated reasoning
Authors: Hinsen Konrad
Published: July 2023

Since its beginnings in the 1940s, automated reasoning by computers has become a tool of ever growing importance in scientific research. So far, the rules underlying automated reasoning have mainly been formulated by humans, in the form of program source code. Rules derived from large amounts of data, via machine learning techniques, are a complementary approach currently under intense development. The question of why we should trust these systems, and the results obtained with their help, has been discussed by early practitioners of computational science, but was later forgotten. The present work focuses on independent reviewing, an important source of trust in science, and identifies the characteristics of automated reasoning systems that affect their reviewability. It also discusses possible steps towards increasing reviewability and trustworthiness via a combination of technical and social measures.
Improved representation of laminar and turbulent sheet flow in subglacial drainage models
Authors: Hill Tim , Flowers Gwenn , Hoffman Matthew , Bingham Derek , Werder Mauro
Published: July 2023

Subglacial hydrology models struggle to reproduce seasonal drainage patterns that are consistent with observed subglacial water pressures and surface velocities. We modify the standard sheet-flow parameterization within a coupled sheet--channel subglacial drainage model to smoothly transition between laminar and turbulent flow based on the locally computed Reynolds number in a physically consistent way (the ``transition'' model). We compare the transition model to standard laminar and turbulent models to assess the role of the sheet-flow parameterization in reconciling observed and modelled water pressures under idealized and realistic forcing. Relative to the turbulent model, the laminar and transition models improve seasonal simulations by increasing winter water pressure and producing a more prominent late-summer water pressure minimum. In contrast to the laminar model, the transition model remains consistent with its own internal assumptions across all flow regimes. Based on the internal consistency of the transition model and its improved performance relative to the standard turbulent model, we recommend its use for transient simulations of subglacial drainage.
Flexible Letter-Position Coding in Chinese-English L2 Bilinguals: Evidence from Eye Movements
Authors: Man Hillarie , Parker Adam James , Taylor Joanne S H
Published: July 2023

Theories suggest that efficient recognition of English words depends on flexible letter-position coding, demonstrated by the fact that transposed-letter primes (e.g., JUGDE-judge) facilitate written word recognition more than substituted-letter primes (e.g., JUFBE-judge). The multiple route model predicts that reading experience should drive more flexible letter-position coding as readers transition from decoding words letter-by-letter to recognising words as wholes (Grainger et al., 2012). This study therefore examined whether letter-position is coded flexibly in second language English sentence reading for native Chinese speakers, and if this is influenced by English proficiency. Eye-movements were measured whilst 54 adult native Chinese speakers read English sentences including either a real word (e.g., cheaply), a transposed-letter nonword (e.g., ‘chepaly’), or a substituted-letter nonword (e.g., ‘chegely’). Flexible letter-position coding was observed in initial and later processing stages— reading times were longer for substituted-letter than transposed-letter nonwords. Additionally, reading times were longer in both initial and later processing stages for transposed-letter nonwords than real words indicating that, despite encoding letter-position flexibly, readers processed letter-position. Although pre-registered frequentist analyses suggested that English proficiency did not predict overall reading times, Bayes Factors indicated that there was evidence for such a relationship. It is therefore likely that this proficiency analysis suffered from low power. Finally, neither frequentist nor Bayes Factor analyses suggested that English proficiency influenced the difference in reading times between different target word types, i.e. the nature of letter-position coding. Overall, these results suggest that highly proficient L2 learners code letter-position flexibly.
Metacognition and confidence: A review and synthesis
Authors: Fleming Stephen M
Published: July 2023

Determining the neural basis of confidence and uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition. While a neuroscience of confidence has focused on the mechanisms underpinning subpersonal phenomena such as representations of uncertainty in the visual or motor system, metacognition research has been concerned with personal-level beliefs and knowledge about self-performance. I provide a roadmap for bridging this divide by focusing on a particular class of confidence computation: propositional confidence in one's own (hypothetical) decisions or actions. Propositional confidence is informed by the observer's models of the world and their cognitive system, which may be more or less accurate - thus explaining why metacognitive judgments are both inferential and sometimes diverge from task performance. Disparate findings on the neural basis of uncertainty and performance monitoring are integrated into a common framework, and a new understanding of the locus of action of metacognitive interventions developed.
Preprint - McCombie et al. 2023 - Qualitative diary methods in mental health research - A scoping review and recommendations for research and reporting
Authors: McCombie Catherine , Esponda Georgina Miguel , Schmidt Ulrike , Lawrence Vanessa
Published: July 2023

Qualitative diary methods have great potential for mental health research, as they provide rich data about experiences and phenomenon as and when they happen, from the perspectives of participants themselves. They provide unique insight into behaviour, cognitions, and change over time in greater depth and detail than other quantitative or qualitative methods might offer. This paper presents the results of a scoping review of qualitative diary methods in mental health research, aimed at clarifying how diary methods are used in mental health research, and outlining key decisions and considerations in planning and conducting a qualitative diary study. Forty-eight papers were reviewed, and the findings highlight different elements of qualitative diary methods. Research aims, suitability for participants, and ethical issues are first discussed, followed by elements of diary study design including diary format, administration, intervals, timeline, sample size, diary structure and guidance, and additional data collection methods. Finally, analysis approaches and the strengths and challenges of qualitative diary methods are reviewed. Discussion around the future of QDMs follows, including a checklist for conducting and reporting a qualitative diary study.
A Case For Chaos Theory Inclusion In Neuropsychoanalytic Modelling
Authors: Tolchinsky Alexey
Published: July 2023

This paper provides a review of the current evidence of chaoticity at various scales of the brain-mind as well as the application of nonlinear tools in clinical practice. Based on these data, a hypothesis is formulated that the brain-mind at various scales can operate in linear, nonlinear, or hybrid modes, such as chaotic functioning accompanied by noise. A thesis formulated by Mark Solms (2021) that living systems must minimize Shannon’s entropy of the physical states (sensory entropy) is considered. Based on the data presented in this paper minimization of entropy in that sense appears to be describing only a part of the complex brain-mind dynamics. Studies evaluating measures of entropy specifically developed for real living systems such as discrete timescale entropy (ApEn) suggest that a decrease in EEG entropy can be observed in some neuronal processes (e.g. progression from wakefulness to deep sleep); however, EEG entropy is observed to be increasing at other times and in other modes of brain-mind functioning (e.g. progression from deep sleep to REM to wakefulness; and from vegetative state to wakefulness). The clinical implications are discussed. This paper proposes that it would be theoretically and clinically beneficial for future revisions of the neuropsychoanalytic models to consider including the chaos theory framework.
Lineage Fitness Theory
Authors: Nichols Ryan
Published: July 2023

Lineage fitness theory, developed here, aims to explain a sizeable portion of fitness-relevant acculturated behavior in humans in terms of a strategy adopted by lineage elders and ancestors according to which they maximize their inclusive fitness by generating and maintaining traditions that manipulate the psychology and behavior of their co-descendants. Lineage fitness theory includes the lineage fitness hypothesis, which is responsible for entailment of several novel predictions, and the lineage manipulation mechanism, which is responsible for causally explaining how elders and ancestors improve their fitness through promulgation of traditions that enhance co-descendant survival, increase welfare tradeoff ratio amongst distant co-descendants, and govern mating preferences and behaviors of co-descendants. Following presentation of the theory in Part A, a case study is developed in Part B in which the theory is applied to pre-historical and historical Han Chinese culture. Implications of lineage fitness theory on evolutionary psychology and cultural evolutionary science are addressed.

Published: July 2023

In severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections, reduced numbers of insulin secretory granules in beta cells and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion have been observed, with insulin resistance and the onset of diabetes in them. This study was conducted to find the association between COVID-19 infection and new-onset diabetes. This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Internal Medicine at Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital, for a duration of 6 months (July to December 2021). A total of 38 new-onset diabetes patients with a confirmed history of COVID-19 infection were enrolled in the study using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. Ethical clearance was taken from the Research and Institutional Review Committee, Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital (Reference No.068- 077/078). Venous blood was collected and fasting blood glucose, post-prandial blood glucose, and HbA1c were measured. Data were analyzed in the Statistical Package for Social version 20.0. Analytical data were compared using Z- test for the parametric values and the Chi-Square test for the nonparametric values. Statistical significance was defined as a p-value of less than 0.05. As per clinical severity, 22 had mild, 13 had moderate and three had severe COVID-19 infection. The mean fasting blood sugar was 169.84 ± 40.72 mg/dl and the mean postprandial blood sugar was 249.92 ± 72.46 mg/dl. The mean HbA1c was 7.92 ± 1.11%. Out of 38 patients, 36 had a history of systemic steroid use and hyperglycemia was significantly associated with steroid use (Z=1.97, P=0.024).

Why are Sustainable Warehouses Imperative to Green Supply chains in India? A Comprehensive Outlook of Present Status and Initiatives
Authors: Tantra Zahl , Dadhich Manish
Published: July 2023

Population, production, and consumption are experiencing an ever-increasing clash with environmental, economic, and social difficulties as India quickly progresses towards overtaking China as the world's fifth-largest economy in terms of GDP and already surpasses China of sheer numbers. The nation's warehousing industry is seeing unprecedented expansion due to the ever-increasing demand from this vast populace, which, in contrast to other countries, is statistically superior in the median age of the below-30 age group and their consumption needs across sectors. Also, this sizable population is gravitating more and more towards buying goods and services from suppliers who make a point of publicizing their sustainability activities in storing these goods in light of the mounting damage that people are inflicting on the health of the earth. The widespread use of social media and its built-in advertising capabilities continue to play a significant but growing role in communicating these benefits to the general public. In addition to relying largely on road transport, India's logistics environment is seeing a proliferation of warehouses to support distribution, value-added services, and storage. Even though transportation contributes mainly to the carbon footprint of logistics, warehouses are a significant source of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and score well on the sustainability index (SI). Compared to innovations used to reduce emissions in the transportation vertical, green warehousing projects are still in their infancy. As a result, this study analyses the existing situation and sketches out the roadmap required to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce emissions in the Indian warehousing sector while steadfastly retaining economic viability.
Divine Dancing Celebration

Published: July 2023

Music and dance have long been a component of the celebrations of the people of all nations and on all continents. Music and dance are also used as a method to transcend the profane and to experience ecstasy and bliss. The objective of this research is to analyse the “Divine Dancing Celebration” as practised in India and Tibet by including heroic and ecstatic dances that are believed to grant immortality; also included are the sculptural dynamics of rapturous dance which symbolizes transformation and happiness. The paper also looks at the iconography of some Yoginī/ Ḍākinī who represented the dancing cult and the symbolic meaning buried inside the icon in an effort to make a connection between dance and the cult of Yoginī/ Ḍākinī. Yoginī / Ḍākinī exhibit their bodies and faces, radiating youth and beauty while advocating for freedom from all social restrictions. The Yoginī is dressed in charnel ground jewellery and performs a dance in a field of decaying corpses. Her body is vividly colored and gives the impression of being formed of light; its transparency reveals a sparkling yet hollow nature. The interior of her body is a vast, limitless domain, which may also contain visions. The female force, which can occasionally be evil and may result in destruction and beheadings, is shown as a component of each element existing in the cosmos in the iconographies of the Yoginī. The significance of this research is that it demonstrates the importance of the Yoginī/ Ḍākinī cult in ancient and early medieval India and Tibet. Although this cult is still practised in some manner in South East Asia but not in India, it has lost its relevance and no longer is known to anyone in India. This study is an initial step in educating the general population on this prominent cult of Hinduism and Buddhism and its significance.
Use of a Femtosecond Laser in Cataract Surgery
Authors: Králik Michal , Halička Juraj , Vida Rastislav , Gajdoš Matej , Javorka Michal , Žiak Peter
Published: July 2023

Aims: Cataracts continue to be the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Phacoemulsification is the gold standard in the treatment of cataracts. The aim of the study was to compare the postoperative results of the phacoemulsification technique in comparison with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).
Material and Methods: Our work retrospectively evaluates the results of patients after implantation of an artificial intraocular lens for cataract from May 2017 to March 2019. The study evaluated a total of 80 implanted lenses in 47 patients operated on by two surgeons. Of the 47 patients, 28 were women. The mean age in the group at the time of surgery was 63.7 years, ranging from 34–79 years. Patients could choose FLACS (n = 45) surgery or standard phacoemulsification procedure (n = 35).
Results: Upon a comparison of the group regarding uncorrected distal visual acuity (UCDVA) up to 12 months after surgery, the group FAKO CATARACTS recorded 0.85 ±0.18 vs. 0.93 ±0.12 in the FEMTO CATARACTS group (p = 0.021), comparably uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA) was 0.77 ±0.18 vs. 0.84 ±0.17 (p = 0.034) respectively. A difference in the use of phacoemulsification energy (OZIL) was measured in patients with phacoemulsification 3.5 ±3.1 and in the use of femtosecond laser 2.2 ±3.1, (p = 0.005). In all cases, an AT LISA 839 trifocal lens (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany) was implanted.
Conclusion: The femtosecond platform assists the surgeon in cataract surgery with capsulorhexis and pre-fragmentation of the lens nucleus, which can be advantageous especially for complicated cataracts. We recorded significantly higher uncorrected distance and near visual acuity in the FLACS group, and also a significantly lower value of the phacoemulsification energy used.

Objetivo. Determinar los efectos de la infección Covid-19 asintomática, leve y moderada en el primer y segundo trimestres en los resultados del embarazo. Métodos. El estudio se realizó en las pacientes que acudieron al Departamento de Perinatología de la Universidad de Ciencias de la Salud de Izmir, entre octubre de 2021 y julio de 2022. Se registraron las embarazadas que presentaban infección asintomática, leve y moderada por Covid-19 en el 1º y 2º trimestre fueron registradas y tuvieron seguimiento. Métodos. El estudio se realizó en las pacientes que acudieron al Departamento de Perinatología de la Universidad de Ciencias de la Salud de Izmir, entre octubre de 2021 y julio de 2022. Se registraron las embarazadas que presentaban infección asintomática, leve y moderada por Covid-19 en el 1º y 2º trimestre y se siguió la evaolución de la gestación. Resultados. Un total de 437 pacientes participaron en el estudio. El número de pacientes asintomáticos, leves y moderados de Covid-19 fue de 142, 157 y 138, respectivamente. Cada grupo se analizó como subgrupos del 1º y 2º trimestre según el momento de la infección por Covid-19. La edad media de las pacientes con Covid-19 moderado era superior a la de las pacientes con Covid-19 leve/asintomático (p=0,021). Se observó que el índice de masa corporal era mayor en las pacientes con Covid-19 moderado que en las pacientes con infección leve/asintomática (p=0,048). El parto pretérmino (entre las semanas 34 y 37) fue significativamente mayor con infección moderada por Covid-19 (p=0,041). Este aumento significativo se debió principalmente a la tasa de partos prematuros en pacientes con infección previa por Covid-19 en el 2º trimestre. No hubo cambios significativos en las tasas de cesárea, trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo, pérdida fetal, retraso del crecimiento intrauterino, colestasis del embarazo y diabetes gestacional. Conclusiones. Los efectos de la infección por Covid-19 al inicio del embarazo (1º y 2º trimestres) siguen siendo objeto de investigación. La infección moderada por Covid-19, especialmente en el 2º trimestre, puede provocar un aumento de la tasa de partos prematuros.

Revisión no sistemática de la literatura, con selección de 72 referencias para construir este ensayo. Resultados. Históricamente, las mujeres han sido atendidas y apoyadas por otras mujeres durante el parto. Sin embargo, en los hospitales de todo el mundo, el apoyo continuo durante el trabajo de parto a menudo se ha convertido en la excepción. En la actualidad, las mujeres tienen su parto sin acompañamiento en un ambiente de estricta privacidad, situación que debe ser cambiada, de acuerdo con las evidencias. La OMS recomienda la atención materna respetuosa y se refiere a la atención que mantiene la dignidad, la privacidad, la confidencialidad, garantiza la ausencia de daño y maltrato, y permite la elección informada y el apoyo continuo durante el trabajo de parto y el parto. Conclusión. La revisión de la bibliografía muestra que la atención obstétrica centrada en la persona mejora la salud materna y perinatal.
Gestación subrogada, ¿estamos preparados en Perú? Una reflexión desde la ética
Authors: Garaycochea Cannon Virginia A.
Published: July 2023

El desarrollo de la tecnología médica hace posible procedimientos increíbles, que modifican las concepciones de vida y muerte. El principio de la vida biológica  con la concepción y la consideración del inicio de la persona humana cuestiona los límites que se debieran establecer en consideración al respeto de la dignidad de la persona. Las técnicas de  reproducción asistida, han ido evolucionando creando expectativas por los mejores resultados, y abriendo posibilidades de realización de paternidad a parejas y personas solas. El reconocimiento de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos significó un hito, que ha llevado a la realización de la gestación subrogada o vientre de alquiler. Sin embargo, surgen conflictos éticos y legales donde de fondo están el respeto de  los derechos de las personas intervinientes y los diversos contextos culturales y económicos donde se desarrolla esta práctica médica. Las diversas legislaciones surgidas van desde aquellas laxas, permisivas y utilitaristas a las posiciones conservadoras. Entre ambas hay una serie de matices, donde la reflexión ética busca los cursos medios de acción,  teniendo en cuenta el principio de realidad y considerando siempre el respeto de los derechos  y dignidad de las personas involucradas.

Published: July 2023

La ventriculomegalia es un marcador del desarrollo cerebral anormal por lo cual es causa de preocupación cuando está presente. Tiene una prevalencia de 0,3 a 1/1000 nacidos vivos y es más frecuente en fetos varones. La ventriculomegalia es definida como el diámetro atrioventricular de los ventrículos laterales mayor o igual a 10 mm. La medida de 10-15 mm constituye la ventriculomegalia leve mientras valores > 15 mm constituye la ventriculomegalia severa. La ventriculomegalia puede ser aislada o estar asociada con otras anomalías incluyendo hallazgos estructurales anormales, anomalías cromosómicas o infecciones prenatales en cerca del 50-84% de los casos. Si la ventriculomegalia es leve y aislada, el resultado más frecuente es la normalidad. La sobrevida de los recién nacidos con ventriculomegalia leve aislada es alta, con reportes del 93-98%. La probabilidad de un neurodesarrollo normal es mayor al 90% y no será diferente al de la población general, por lo cual ante una ventriculomegalia leve aislada, después de una completa evaluación, la gestante debe ser informada que el pronóstico es favorable, y que probablemente el niño será considerado normal. Presentamos un caso de ventriculomegalia leve fetal izquierda aislada detectada en la ecografía prenatal de las 20 semanas, a quien se le realiza controles neurosonográficos seriados, amniocentesis genética y estudio de infecciones prenatales, siendo éstos dos últimos normales y evidenciándose resolución de la ventriculomegalia, así como control post parto dentro de los límites de la normalidad.

Present article provides the results of a primary phytochemical analysis of Fritillaria karelinii (Fisch. ex D. Don) Baker (syn. Rhinopetalum karelinii Fisch. ex D. Don) from family Liliaceae Juss., collected from different fields of populations in the Almaty region. A comparative analysis of water-alcohol isolations allowed identifying three substances belonging to phenolic nature, and the quantitative contents of flavonoids (in the range of 0.7–1.03 % in terms of air dry matter) and some other biological active compounds (alkaloids, amino acids, organic acids). There is a correlation in the quantitative content of arginine (max) and methionine (min) out of 13 amino acids that were identified in bulbs of three studied samples. By accumulation of amino acids, the Ili plant sample shows quantitatively different from the other two, for example arginine, proline (0.475), leucine (0.372), lysine, valine, phenyl, threonine, and alanine (0.51–0.31) prevail, and methionine and histidine were less than 0.1 %. Valine, threonine and proline are contained in the range of 0.298–0.193 %, while lysine, leucine, phenylalanine, and serine are in the range of 0.175–0.161 % for a sample collected near Nurly village. The content of other identified amino acids was below 0.15 %.

Мақалада Алматы қаласы жағдайында өсірілген Paulownia Siebold & Zucc түрлерінің гибридтері Shan Tong және FTE жапырақтарының морфологиялық және анатомиялық құрылысының ерекшеліктері алғаш рет сипатталды. Бұл ағаш түрі Оңтүстік-Шығыс Азия елдерінде табиғи жағдайда кеңінен тараған. Қазіргі уақытта көптеген елдерде өсіріліп, жерсіндірілуде. Жұмыстың өзектілігі: Paulownia ағашын орман өнеркәсібінде, биоотын және биогаз алу мақсатында, биоремедиант ретінде және медицинада емдік қасиеттерін кеңінен қолданады. Қазақстан жағдайында жаңадан өсіріліп, жерсіндірілуде, сол себептен жергілікті экологиялық жағдайда Paulownia түрлері гибридтеріне биологиялық-экологиялық зерттеулер жүргізілмеген. Практикалық маңыздылығын ескерсек, орманға тапшы еліміз үшін бұл ағаштың мүмкіндіктерін пайдалану аса қажет. Жұмыстың мақсат-міндеттері: Paulownia өсімдігінің Shan Tong және FTE гибридтер жапырақтарының морфологиялық-анатомиялық ерекшіліктерін зерттеп, салыстыру. Зерттеу әдістері: морфометриялық көрсеткіштері мен мүшелерінің морфологиялық құрылымы жалпы қабылданған әдістеме бойынша жүргізілді. Микроскопиялық талдау үшін фиксация Страсбургер-Флемминг әдісімен жасалды. Нәтижесі: Shan Tong және FTE жапырақтарының анатомиялық құрылысының диагностикалық белгілерін анықтауда биологиялық активті заттардың шоғырлану орындары белгіленді, сондай-ақ, гликозидтер бағаналы және борпылдақ мезофилде шоғырланғандығы айқындалды. Микроскопиялық кесінділерден жапырақтың анатомиялық құрылысында қарапайым көп клеткалы бір ядролы трихомалар, бір клеткалы безді түктер, құмыра тәрізді тармақталмаған, көп клеткалы, бір ядролы ірі трихомалар кездесетіндігі анықталды. Салыстыру барысында FTE гибриді жапырағының морфометрикалық көрсеткіштері Shan Tong гибриді жапырағының морфометрикалық көрсеткіштеріне қарағанда жоғары екендігі белгілі болды, айырмашылық тек бағаналы мезофилдің қалыңдығында байқалды. Алынған нәтижелер Paulownia туысы түрлері жапырағының анатомиялық ерекшелігін айқындап, деректерді растауға, нақтылауға және толықтыруға мүмкіндік береді. Алынған мәліметтерді Paulownia туысы түрлерін практикалық қолданыста жүйелі зерттеулер үшін қолдануға болады.
Receptions of the “Piece Of Musiс” Concept in the Modern Scientific Discourse
Authors: Konovalova І.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to disclosure of multilevel comprehension of the “piece of music” concept in the modern musicology and determinants of the multiplicity of connotations of its ontological and phenomenological specifics in the interdisciplinary space of the humanities.

The purpose of the article — to determine the specifics of reception of the “piece of music” concept and phenomenon in the modern scientific discourse.

The methodology of research is complex and based on the comparative, cultural, art historical scientific approaches, fundamentals of systematic and analytical, phenomenological, descriptive and terminological methods of analysis with the use of musicological methodological tools.

The results. The notional transformations of the “piece of music” concept in the musical culture of the second half of the XX century are studied and on the basis of systematization of modern trends and levels of analytics of the “piece of music” concept, generated in the humanistic and musicological area, new approaches to reception of the same concept and phenomenon (thesaurus, language and semiotic, discursive, communicative and psychological) are outlined. The cultural ambivalence of the music work phenomenon, the multilayered process of objectification of the artistic information, contained herein and presented in the intonation and figurative form, are disclosed.

The scientific novelty of the article pertains to application of a hermeneutic and phenomenological approach to explication of the piece of music and its post-avant-garde modifications (installations, performances, “open” compositions etc., with their intension for unique and momentary expression of experience and unscriptedness in traditional frameworks of music opuses), constituting different manifestations and facets of an integral and multifaceted phenomenon of the music work and determination of its hypostasis as an artifact of culture, result of spiritual production, process/deliverables of the creator’s activities (author and performer), carrier of an artistic meaning (musical semantic image) and value context.

It is emphasized that the ontological and existential nature of the music work, its functional and notional polyphony, the focus of the world images and the author image in its artistic fabric make it possible to consider it in the multiplicity of perspectives (philosophical and aesthetic, phenomenological, axiological, communicational and psychological, creative and practical, artistic and semantic, individual and personal, semiotic interpretation) and research paradigms.

The practical significance of the scientific intelligence lies in a possibility to apply the hermeneutic and phenomenological approach in the further development of the problems of a music work and involvement of the findings in the musical and pedagogical areas, in the training courses “musical aesthetics”, “philosophy of music”, “musical interpretation”, “analysis of music works” etc.
Piano Works by V. Polova: Conceptual, Genre, Style and Linguistic-Expressive Dimensions
Authors: Rumiantseva A.
Published: July 2023

The relevance of the article is determined by the dissonance between the intensification of the represen-tation of V. Polova’s piano works in the world and national artistic space and the degree of its research in the national musicological discourse.

The purpose of the article is to highlight the conceptual, stylistic, genre and expressive constructions of V. Polova’s piano works.

The methodology of the article is based on the guidelines of the cultural and historical approaches, as well as genre and semantic analysis.

The results. V. Polova’s piano works, reflecting the leading mainstream of contemporary musical art, philosophical comprehension of eternal, globally significant problems of human spiritual existence, demonstrated the rejection of attributive postmodern trends of irony, theatricalization and visualization of performance and electronic experiments. At the conceptual level, the specificity of the composer’s piano works lies in the dominance of the concepts of spirituality, spiritual purity, lyrical and philosophical reflection in the picture of the universe based on a new simplicity and appeal to the sign of artistic experience of the past, comprehended as a whole. At the level of genre, V. Polova’s piano works are marked by the tendency to programmatic, conceptually mobile and compositional labile genre models of chamber music significance, as well as individualization of genre solutions (tendency to reduce the sonata structure, a free and open form, principle of free comparison of the spheres of lyrical reflection). At the level of musical language and thinking, the composer’s piano works demonstrate the significance of the sign of past artistic experience and the authorial style (rehearsal constructions, ascending dynamic “flashes” of arpeggios, chronotopic effects, emancipated sound, sonority and dynamics as carriers of meaning and drama drivers.

The scientific novelty of the article is due to the coverage of the characteristic features of V. Polova’s piano works, in particular on the example of the works “Pasakalia”, “Iskia. Island”, “Vitruvian Man”, Sonata No. 1 “Seren-sonata”, Sonata No. 2 “Quasi una fantasia”, which are not fully mastered by national musicology.

The practical significance of the article is due to the heuristic application of the research results in the musicological context and performance practice.
