Alternative Facts in Musicology and Vechnaya Pamyat' in Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5
Authors: Mah Eileen 
Published: November 2021

The assertions, refutations, and counter-refutations concerning two core pieces of Richard Taruskin’s studies on Russian music—Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5—provide a starting point for discussion about the possibilities, limits, and obligations of musicological interpretation. Moreover, an important aspect of the discussion is the phenomenon of “alternative facts,” both in publication and in pedagogy, and possibly in music itself.
Taruskin argues against the logical fallacies of overly specific or overly simplistic interpretations, but hesitates to fully interpret certain music himself, thereby participating in the web of alternative facts. Taruskin refutes popular myths about biographical meanings in Tchaikovsky’s symphony, but in so doing, also seems to reject a tragic reading of any kind. He explains away various musical structures and extroversive references, but fails to explore why those elements are in fact present.
As for Shostakovich’s symphony, Taruskin notes its saturation with musical topics, but ignores their allusive specificity, downplaying their significance altogether for what he calls their transferability. Yet Taruskin himself identifies an allusion to a specific Orthodox hymn, and therefrom draws specific conclusions. His evidence for calling the passage a “literal imitation” is actually flawed, but a truly literal quotation of this very hymn may be present throughout the entire symphony, and may act as a sort of species of alternative fact itself. In any case, something that specific, and its placement in the symphonic structure, deserve notice and demand specificity of interpretation.

Balance del liderazgo en el Partido de la Revolución Democrática: 1989-2019
Authors: Navarrete Vela Juan Pablo 
Published: November 2021

El presente trabajo aborda los ciclos políticos del liderazgo en el Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) a lo largo de 30 años. Revisa el papel de sus dirigentes y los distingue, mediante un análisis comparativo, entre carismáticos y adminstrativo-ejecutivos. Se detalla la formación de las fracciones internas y el tipo de trayectoria de sus presidentes nacionales. Se proponen tres etapas (fundadores, dirigentes con peso como gobernadores y dirigentes de corte legislativo-gubernamental). También se analiza el rendimiento electoral del partido (diputados, senadores, gobernadores, Distrito Federal y presidencial), desde 1989 hasta 2019. Se destaca el proceso de disputa por los electores de izquierda con la llegada de Morena y el efecto de la salida de sus candidatos presidenciales carismáticos. Se concluye que el saldo decreciente de resultados electorales del PRD está directamente relacionado con la falta de consolidación de liderazgos internos y con la constitución de Morena que ha desplazado, como partido de izquierda, al histórico PRD.

Authors: Alfraik Nasren Gamal Saleh 
Published: November 2021

The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a simple and inexpensive parameter, which reflects the degree of heterogeneity of erythrocyte volume. This retrospective study aimed to detect the correlation between RDW and respiratory diseases and analyzed all patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Tobruk Medical Center between January 2017 and January 2019. All patients below 16 years old with an available baseline RDW value on admission to PICU and had had a respiratory disease and needed oxygen therapy were eligible for inclusion. Of the 76 patients studied, 36.8% had elevated RDW. The median age was 97.5 days old, 60.5% were male, and 39.4% females. All patients were Libyan and 97.4% from Tobruk. Causes of admission were 52.6% bronchopneumonia, 29% acute broncholitis, 10.5% aspiration pneumonia, 5.3% bronchial asthma, and CHD with apnea were 2.7%. We noted a respiratory retraction in most of the cases, grunting and retraction in 35%, and cyanosis in 28% of cases. Reported complications of this study were sepsis 41%, aspiration 24%, pneumothorax 10.5%, convulsion 9%, apnea 8%, pleural effusion 7% and renal failure 1%. 62% of our patients had pulmonary infiltration on chest x-ray. Regarding the route of oxygen therapy, 60.5% were treated with nasal prongs, 38% with masks, and 1.3% needed a mechanical ventilator. 29% of patients received steroids. The RDW mean was 14.499 and there were significant correlations between RDW and signs of respiratory distress, length of hospital stay, and duration of oxygen therapy. 98% of our patients were discharged. We conclude there is a strong correlation between RDW and respiratory diseases as pneumonia, acute broncholitis and we recommend farther studies to study the correlation between RDW and other organ diseases in the pediatric age group.

Published: November 2021

The study aimed to investigate the effects of nectar secretion and climate conditions on the number of honeybee workers foraging on flowers of three different plant species. Nectar samples were taken at different hours of the day. Handling and traveling time of each bee per flower were recorded. The results showed a significant difference during daylight hours on nectar volume (P>0.05). The highest amount of nectar was recorded at 10 am on a Prunus domestica flower plant (0.5± 0.2) and the lowest on a Pyrus communis flower plant at 8:00 am with (0.0132 ± 0.008). Also, the highest recorded handling time was on a Malus domestica flower plant at 10 am with (6.1± 1.7 Sec). And while there was an absence of mean handling time at 4:00 pm on the P. communis flower plant, The results showed that the highest traveling time recorded was on a M. domestica flower plant at 12 am with (2.2 ± 0.1 Sec) compared with the P. communis flower plant that recorded the lowest traveling time at 4:00 pm with (0.1± 0.1 Sec). Furthermore, the results revealed that the preference of Apis mellifera was the M. domestica flower plant. The findings showed a significance (P>0.05) between the effects of climate conditions on the number of bees during visits, while also revealing that there was a relationship between high temperatures and an increase in the number of visiting bees. Meanwhile, the number of visits decreased during the hours of observation with lower humidity.

In search of truth in service of beauty: the comparison of the autograph of Sonata in a minor by Franz Schubert with available editions
Authors: Pawłowska Eliza 
Published: November 2021

Musicians attach increasing importance to the selection of edition they use for playing. There is a growing awareness of the influence of score material selection on interpretation. Historical performance raises the bar as well by encouraging the use of autographs, manuscripts and first editions. Thanks to referring to historical materials, we can quickly appreciate the effort of contemporary editors who – once publishing scores today – make them much more accessible. It would seem that basing one’s interpretation on an urtext edition should be a perfect solution combining today’s clarity with historical truth. The analysis shows, however, that even these trustworthy urtext editions differ from one another, thus differ from the autograph. Using Sonata in A Minor D 385 by Franz Schubert as an example, the article shows different approaches to music text edition. There are distinct ways in which editors interpret articulation, dynamics, and even sound pitch. The biggest number of differences can be found in terms of articulation, which it largely connected with the necessity to read handwritten material. Unambiguous deciphering (and exact placement) of numerous music markings can sometimes be downright impossible. That is why editors often use the method which consists in searching for analogies between fragments and parts, yet this method does not always seem right. As performance practice shows, treating each part individually, playing a similar fragment in a dissimilar way, often brings interesting results interpretation-wise. The article encourages own experiments, using doubts as material for interpretation, and using the benefits of contemporary editions cautiously.
Emic-etic analysis as a research method for theory of music
Authors: Kubisiowski Tobiasz 
Published: November 2021

Emic and etic are the terms taken from linguistics, but they have become widespread in other fields of humanities, especially anthropology. According to the most general definition, emic approach implies studying behaviours in culture according to its internal categories, whereas etic approach uses external, objective points of reference for this purpose. From the time the concept was created in the 1950s, numerous researchers from different fields have tried to adapt and redefine these two terms so as to use them in their work. The present article attempts to apply both emic and etic approaches within one coherent analytical method.
It presents its theoretical fundamentals and proposes a list of six elements that an emic-etic analysis should include. The article focuses on the use of the concept of emics and etics in the theory of music, but the suggested method may also be used for an analysis of other types of culture texts such as music pieces, literary texts, and even fine arts works. The example used in the article is the emic-etic analysis of Letters about music by Michał Kleofas Ogiński, which has shown that the method seems fruitful from the perspective of an analyser, yet it is flawed in terms of objectivity. Therefore, the author does not recommend it as a main method for academic research, but he suggests it could be an auxiliary method and a new tool for the education of school and university-level students.
The present article is a shortened version of the BA thesis entitled Emic-Etic Analysis Exemplified On M. K. Ogiński’s “Lettres sur la musique”, defended at the Department of Composition and Theory of Music, The Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw, in June 2021.
Local and landscape characteristics shape amphibian communities across production landscapes in the Western Ghats

Abstract
Global tropical forests have been modified and fragmented by commodity agroforests, leading to significant alterations in ecological communities. Nevertheless, these production landscapes offer secondary habitats that support and sustain local biodiversity. In this study, we assess community level and species‐specific responses of amphibians to land management in areca, coffee and rubber, three of the largest commodity agroforests in the Western Ghats.
A total of 106 agroforests across a 30,000‐km2 landscape were surveyed for amphibians using a combination of visual and auditory encounter surveys. We used a Bayesian multi‐species occupancy modelling framework to examine patterns of species richness, beta diversity, dominance structure and individual species occupancies. The influence of biogeographic variables such as elevation and latitude as well as microhabitat availability of streams, ponds and unpaved plantation roads was tested on amphibian species occupancy.
Coffee agroforests had the highest species richness and lowest dominance when compared to areca and rubber. Beta diversity was highest in areca for within agroforest measures. Compared across agroforests, coffee had highest beta diversity with areca and rubber. Both elevation and latitude showed an overall positive association with amphibian occupancy, although species‐specific responses varied considerably.
Microhabitat availability was one of the strongest predictors of amphibian occupancy, with mean community response being positive with presence of water bodies and roads. Pond presence increased species richness per site by 34.7% (species‐specific responses in occupancy ranged from –2.7% to 327%). Stream presence alone did not change species richness but species‐specific response ranged from –59% to 273%. Presence of plantation roads also increased species richness by 21.5% (species‐specific response ranged from –82% to 656%). Being unpaved with little vehicular traffic, plantation roads seem to provide additional habitats for amphibians. Presence of all three microhabitats at a site increased species richness by 75%.
Our study highlights the importance of land management strategies that maintain diverse native canopy and freshwater bodies and other microhabitats in sustaining amphibian fauna. Market‐driven land‐use change from coffee to other agroforest types will have detrimental effects on amphibian communities and their long‐term sustainability in the Western Ghats.
Divide‐and‐Conquer Methods for Big Data Analysis
Authors: Chen Xueying , Cheng Jerry Q. , Xie Min‐ge 
Published: November 2021

AbstractIn the context of big data analysis, the divide‐and‐conquer methodology refers to a multiple‐step process: first splitting a data set into several smaller ones; then analyzing each set separately; and finally combining results from each analysis together. This approach is effective in handling large data sets that are unsuitable to be analyzed entirely by a single computer due to limits either from memory storage or computational time. The combined results will provide a statistical inference which is similar to the one from analyzing the entire data set. This article reviews some recent developments of divide‐and‐conquer methods in a variety of settings, including combining based on parametric, semiparametric, and nonparametric models and online sequential updating methods, among others. Theoretical development on the efficiency of the divide‐and‐conquer methods is discussed. Examples of real‐world data analyses are provided in various application areas.
Visual Communication of Data: It Is Not a Programming Problem, It Is Viewer Perception
Authors: Mulrow Edward , du Toit Nola 
Published: November 2021

AbstractCreating effective data graphics can become very technical, and some visualizations require complicated programs and techniques. Often, the graphic developer gets too engrossed in the method without considering how users will perceive the visual. Sometimes, the wrong method can obscure the data story. At worst, the developer could create a visual lie. We discuss how a commonly used performance feedback process can be used as a tool to help graphic developers create functional, useful, and effective graphics that correctly depict the data. Using two fictitious cases studies, we illustrate common problems in selecting a graphical format, along with alternative solutions. In addition, we outline leading resources and strategies that will assist graphic developers in producing successful visualizations. Our goal is to help developers stop and think about the data, and how graphics are perceived, before moving onto the technical parts of creating the visual.
Finite Horizon Process Monitoring

Published: November 2021

Abstract

In some industrial environments
flexibility
is a key for the manufacturer, that is, the ability to switch frequently from the production of one product code to another and produce batches of different items during consecutive short production time intervals, called finite production horizons; such a setting is called a finite horizon process (FHP). The frequent process changeovers may require new setup activities and machine reconfigurations every time before the beginning of a new production run. An erroneous setup or a process failure can negatively impact the quality of the manufactured products. In order to perform statistical quality control for these types of processes, practitioners have to deal with the challenging issues of designing, scheduling, and performing only a limited number of inspections. This is typically not the case in traditional quality control and monitoring applications. In this article, we highlight various aspects of statistical process monitoring (SPM) implemented in an FHP setting that need to be considered by quality practitioners. We describe available statistical process monitoring tools, such as the control charts, properly designed to monitor quality characteristics in the FHP setting. Finally, we discuss some of the still open challenges in the area of FHP monitoring.

Published: November 2021

AbstractIn this report, the surface topography of crescent array in the Nepenthes slippery zone is measured and bionic fabricated by two‐photon polymerization (TPP) technology. A subregion outside‐in scanning method (SOSM) is proposed to solve the photoresist converge and large area surface positioning problem existing in bionic crescent array surface (BCAS) fabrication. The geometric parameters of BCAS, including area fraction, height, offset, and outer–inner radius ratio, are systematically investigated to reveal their effects on the hydrophobic performance. Perfluorinated polyether oil and fluorocarbon solvent were used to increase the hydrophobicity and homogeneity of bionic surface. The contact angles of BCASs coated with and without the solution are measured. The maximum contact angle can reach to 152.1°. What's more, considering the anisotropy of BCAS, anisotropic wetting research is conducted. Offset and outer–inner radius ratio are found to have obvious effects on the contact angle differences between convexity and concavity directions. The maximum contact angle difference can reach to 5.1°. Spreading and pinning phenomenon caused by droplet anisotropic wetting are observed and explained. This work is expected to provide references for the BCAS to be applied in super‐hydrophobic and droplets motion fields.

AbstractMetasurfaces have provided a novel and promising platform for realizing compact and high‐performance optical devices. The conventional metasurface design approach assumes periodic boundary conditions for each element, which is inaccurate in most cases since near‐field coupling effects between elements will change when the element is surrounded by nonidentical structures. In this paper, a deep learning approach is proposed to predict the actual electromagnetic (EM) responses of each target meta‐atom placed in a large array with near‐field coupling effects taken into account. The predicting neural network takes the physical specifications of the target meta‐atom and its neighbors as input, and calculates its actual phase and amplitude in milliseconds. This approach can be used to optimize metasurfaces’ efficiencies when combined with optimization algorithms. To demonstrate the efficacy of this methodology, large improvements in efficiency for a beam deflector and a metalens over the conventional design approach are obtained. Moreover, it is shown that the correlations between a metasurface's performance and its design errors caused by mutual coupling are not bound to certain specifications (materials, shapes, etc.). As such, it is envisioned that this approach can be readily applied to explore the mutual coupling effects and improve the performance of various metasurface designs.
