Mémoire: on Music and Deconstruction
Authors: Street Alan 
Published: July 2021

The exploration of poststructuralism's likely implications for musical interpretation has formed a distinctive contribution to the expanding ensemble of discourses admitted toAnglo-American musicology over the course of the past twenty years. A trend manifest since the later 1980s, its potential was sensed most strongly by a younger generation of music analysts concerned to trace the reflexive consequences of postmodern critical thought for the established canons of systematic theory. As acknowledged in a series of overview surveys by Monelle (1992), Krims (1998), Ayrey (1998) and Norris (2000), its most productive outcomes may be codified in relation to a generalised critique of aesthetic ideology. However, the political consequences embodied in such modes of enquiry were largely displaced within a loosely defined 'New Musicology' throughout the 1990s as the effects of alterity became realigned with a critical programme based on individualised identity politics. The ramifications of difference continue to inform critical debate regarding the nature of musical unity (for instance, in the work of Agawu, Chua, Dubiel, Korsyn, Kramer, Morgan and others). However, this paper argues that the mediating role of artistic form ought not to be permitted to obscure the emancipatory capacity of deconstruction as affirmed by Derrida. In this respect, the message of resistance inscribed within poststructuralism should be seen as emblematic for the defence of musicology's academic status at a time when the discipline remains under threat of institutional closure.
In Defence of 'Structural Listening': Some Problems With the New Musicology
Authors: Norris Christopher 
Published: July 2021

This essay raises a number of issues with regard to recent developments in music theory. Among them is the turn against 'analysis' or 'structural listening' on account of their (supposed) investment in a discourse of mainstream musicology whose aim is to perpetuate the canon of acknowledged 'great works' and the kinds of elitist value-judgement that are conventionally applied to such works. Along with this goes the idea – derived from Paul de Man and exponents of literary deconstruction – that notions such as those of 'organic form', structural unity, thematic integration, long-range tonal or harmonic development, etc., are products of a certain 'aesthetic ideology' with dubious, even sinister, implications when transposed to the wider realm of cultural politics. I maintain that this is a false, or at any rate a highly tendentious line of thought which itself involves the illicit transposition from one domain (that of literary criticism) where such arguments have a certain force to another (that of music theory) where they simply don't apply unless by a great and implausible stretch of analogy. Thus de Man's case against naively organicist readings of poetic metaphor which assume a direct continuity (even identity) between mind and nature, subject and object, or language and phenomenal intuition must appear distinctly off-the-point when applied to our sensuous but also conceptually-informed experience of music. My essay pursues these questions via a reading of various theorists on both sides of the debate, including Adorno, whose emphasis on the virtues of 'structural listening' as a means of resistance to routine, habitual, or ideologically conditioned modes of response offers perhaps the most powerful rejoinder to this current revolt against analysis in all its forms. I go on to remark that those forms have been far more diverse – and often less committed to a hard-line organicist creed – than their detractors like to make out, tending as they do to equate 'analysis' with Heinrich Schenker's deeply conservative, dogmatic, and ideologically-loaded approach. In support of my counter-argument I draw on various developments in cognitive science and the psychology of perception, along with a recent debate between the philosophers Peter Kivy and Jerrold Levinson concerning the latter's highly controversial claim that musical understanding is limited to very short stretches of temporal (retentive and anticipatory) grasp. I conclude that our appreciation of music can be greatly deepened and enriched by the kinds of sustained or long-range structural comprehension that analysis seeks to provide, and that any theory which rules this out – or puts it down to mere 'aesthetic ideology' – is ipso facto on the wrong track.
Diseño y validez de la escala autoevaluación de las competencias del docente de matemáticas [Design and validity of the scale Self-assessment of mathematics teacher competencies]
Authors: Larios-Trejo Jesús-Antonio 
Published: July 2021

Evaluar competencias no es una tarea fácil ya que éstas engloban: conocimiento, actitudes y destrezas. El acercamiento más real es quizá mediante una autoevaluación donde la persona que la conteste este consciente de su finalidad. Para la construcción de este artículo, se consideró la definición de Perrenoud, quien se refiere a la competencia como la capacidad de actuar eficazmente en una situación de un tipo definido, capacidad que se apoya en los conocimientos. El presente estudio tuvo la finalidad de diseñar y validar un instrumento confiable y pertinente que permita la autoevaluación de las competencias de los docentes del área de matemáticas, considerando el enfoque de la socioformación. Se realizó la validación de contenido con un grupo de 12 jueces expertos, aplicando la V de Aiken y el grado de relevancia con un pilotaje de 28 participantes, determinado por Alfa de Cronbach. Como resultado se llegó a niveles adecuados con mínimas observaciones y se concluyó con un instrumento confiable y pertinente.
Evaluating competencies is not an easy task since they encompass knowledge, attitudes, and skills. The most realistic approach is through a self-assessment where the person who answers it is aware of its purpose. For the construction of this article, the definition of Perrenoud was considered, who refers to competence as the capacity to act effectively in a situation of a defined type, a capacity that is supported by knowledge. The purpose of this study was to design and validate a reliable and pertinent instrument that allows the self-assessment of mathematics teachers’ competencies, considering the socio-training approach. Content validation was carried out with a group of twelve expert judges, applying Aiken’s V and the degree of relevance with a pilot of twenty-eight participants, determined by Cronbach’s Alpha. As a result, adequate levels were reached with minimal observations and a reliable and relevant instrument was concluded.

Published: July 2021

Angina is a chest pressure, discomfort, or pain like a squeeze. It may occur as an angina attack that typically lasts from 1 to 15 minutes; however, angina is not only a disorder, but is also a symptom of heart disease. There are various risk factors that lead to raising an angina pectoris attack which were designated in previous studies but no one detected the most significant one in Thi- Qar governorate. Because of the specific economic, lifestyle and environment characteristics of this governorate, the present study has aimed to determine the most important risk factors that trigger angina among patients of the Nasiriya Heart Center in Nasiriya city.
A cross-sectional study has been conducted in Nasiriya Heart Center which involved 200 angina patients that attended the hospital. The patients answered questioners’ form that has been designed by the researcher. The collecting data contained the demographic, lifestyle and family history information of patients.
The results showed no significant differences between male and female in angina occurrence. An age group 31- 60 year was considered the most susceptible to the incidence of angina. However, no significant impacts of the genetic, smoking, alcohol and obesity were found as risk factors. On the other hand, significant effects of diabetes, hypertension, eating habits and stress in the angina incidence were determined.
In conclusion, the specificity of the governorate has had the greatest impact on the determination of risk factors where, apart from eating habits, the stress in its various types was the most important factor; therefore, intensive studies must promote population health conditions in this governorate.
Estimating the potential cooling effect of cirrus thinning achieved via the seeding approach
Authors: Liu Jiaojiao , Shi Xiangjun 
Published: July 2021

Abstract. Cirrus thinning is a newly emerging geoengineering approach to mitigate global
warming. To sufficiently exploit the potential cooling effect of cirrus
thinning with the seeding approach, a flexible seeding method is used to
calculate the optimal seeding number concentration, which is just enough to
prevent homogeneous ice nucleation from occurring. A simulation using the
Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5) with the flexible seeding method
shows a global cooling effect of -1.36±0.18 W m−2, which is
approximately two-thirds of that from artificially turning off homogeneous
nucleation (-1.98±0.26 W m−2). However, simulations with
fixed seeding ice nuclei particle number concentrations of 20 and
200 L−1 show a weak cooling effect of -0.27±0.26 W m−2 and warming effect of 0.35±0.28 W m−2, respectively. Further analysis shows that cirrus
seeding leads to a significant warming effect of liquid and mixed-phase
clouds, which counteracts the cooling effect of cirrus clouds. This
counteraction is more prominent at low latitudes and leads to a pronounced net
warming effect over some low-latitude regions. The sensitivity experiment
shows that cirrus seeding carried out at latitudes with solar noon zenith
angles greater than 12∘ could yield a stronger global cooling effect
of −2.00 ± 0.25 W m−2. Overall, the potential cooling effect
of cirrus thinning is considerable, and the flexible seeding method is
essential.

Abstract. The organic mass fraction from sea spray aerosol (SSA) is currently a
subject of intense research. The majority of this research is dedicated to
measurements in ambient air. However a number of studies have recently
started to focus on nascent sea spray aerosol. This work presents
measurements collected during a 5-week cruise in May and June 2017 in
the central and western Mediterranean Sea, an oligotrophic marine region
with low phytoplankton biomass. Surface seawater was continuously pumped
into a bubble-bursting apparatus to generate nascent sea spray aerosol. Size
distributions were measured with a differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS). Chemical characterization of the submicron aerosol was performed with a time-of-flight aerosol chemical speciation monitor (ToF-ACSM) operating with 10 min time resolution and with filter-based chemical analysis on a daily basis. Using positive matrix factorization analysis, the ToF-ACSM non-refractory organic matter (OMNR) was separated into four different organic aerosol types, identified as primary OA (POANR), oxidized OA (OOANR), methanesulfonic acid type OA (MSA-OANR), and mixed OA (MOANR). In parallel, surface seawater biogeochemical properties were monitored providing information on phytoplankton cell abundance and seawater particulate organic carbon (1 h time resolution) and seawater surface microlayer (SML) dissolved organic carbon (DOC) (on a daily basis). Statistically robust correlations (for n>500) were found between MOANR and nanophytoplankton cell abundance, as well as between POANR, OOANR, and particulate organic carbon (POC). Parameterizations of the contributions of different types of organics to the submicron nascent sea spray aerosol are proposed as a function of the seawater biogeochemical properties for use in models.

Abstract. During the EUREC4A field experiment that took place over the tropical Atlantic Ocean east of Barbados, the French ATR 42 environment research aircraft of SAFIRE aimed to characterize the shallow cloud properties near cloud base and the turbulent structure of the subcloud layer. For this purpose, the aircraft payload included radar and lidar remote sensing, microphysical probes, a laser spectrometer, and meteorological sensors. In particular, the aircraft was equipped with a five-hole radome nose as well as several temperature and moisture sensors allowing for measurements of wind, temperature and humidity at 25 Hz. This paper presents the high-frequency measurements made with these sensors and their translation in terms of turbulent fluctuations, turbulent moments and characteristic length scales of turbulence. A particular focus is on the calibration and the quality control of the air moisture measurements, which remain a challenge at fine scales. Level-2 and Level-3 data are distributed as an ensemble of NetCDF files available to the public at AERIS (https://doi.org/10.25326/128, Lothon and Brilouet, 2020).

Published: July 2021

This article describes the development and implementation of the Anyaka Makwiri program and summarizes results from the qualitative assessment of participant experiences. Anyaka Makwiri is a multicomponent mentoring program developed for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) ages 15 to 24 in Gulu, Uganda. The comprehensive program consisted of a curriculum covering sexual and reproductive health (SRH), financial capabilities, soft skills, and gender-based violence and gender equality; activities designed to improve participants’ social connectedness; optional onsite testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV, and pregnancy along with STI treatment; group-based savings; and links to SRH services, including contraceptive and gender-based violence services. The program was implemented over a 6-month period and reached 490 AGYW. Findings are derived from routine program-monitoring data including administrative records, de-identified service statistics, and baseline surveys. In addition, this article summarizes some of the key findings from qualitative interviews with both mentors and AGYW participants, conducted at the conclusion of the program. Participants generally had a favorable view of the mentoring program, particularly in terms of the curriculum topics they were exposed to, and mentors were also positive about their experiences. Despite the program’s many successes there were some implementation challenges, the most prominent being intermittent participant attendance due to a variety of difficulties. The lessons learned from the implementation of Anyaka Makwiri provide valuable insights for the design and implementation of multicomponent mentoring programs for AGYW.
Writing games: Popular and critical videogame writing over time
Authors: Golding Dan 
Published: July 2021

Despite decades of research in game studies and its adjacent fields, other forms of creative and critical writing have arguably had the broadest impact on discourse surrounding the medium. This uneasily defined and liminal space of popular (and populist) critical work exists between those who make videogames and those who research and teach them, and often crosses between the multiple different spheres as a more accessible form of critical reflection with a lower barrier of entry. This area includes writing about videogames in diverse contexts and practices including journalism, criticism, books, YouTube videos, blog posts, and social media. This journal article will chart and engage with this diffuse range of non-scholarly writing and its impact. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of popular writing about videogames in the context of journalism (for newspapers, broadcasters, and magazines), books (such as This Gaming Life by Jim Rossignol, Extra Lives by Tom Bissel, and Death by Video Game by Simon Parkin), and the way that bloggers and non-scholarly writers have influenced the discourse surrounding writing for videogames.
What games writing teaches us about creative writing: A case study of The Fullbright Company’s Gone Home
Authors: Takolander Maria 
Published: July 2021

This paper challenges the popular perception of creativity as a characteristic of special individuals and, instead, proposes that creativity is an emergent event resulting from the dynamic interaction of a creative subject (or subjects), a social and cultural context, and the material artefact (itself embodying its own social and cultural history). This theory of creativity derives inspiration from the social psychology of creativity and, especially, the research of Vlad Petre Glăveanu, who analyses Romanian Easter-egg decoration to establish how creativity in all its manifestations occurs as a ‘distributed, dynamic, sociocultural and developmental phenomenon’ (2014: 2, original emphasis). This paper focuses on games writing. Taking as its case study The Fullbright Company’s multiaward-winning computer game Gone Home (2013), and informed by an interview with The Fullbright Company’s Steve Gaynor, this paper attends to the ’sociality, materiality and temporality of the creative work’ (Glăveanu 2014: 5). Having deliberately chosen a game with literary characteristics, the paper aims to arrive at a deeper appreciation of a new form of creative writing (conceived here in a way that accepts medial change as a fundamental part of literary history). It concludes with a reflection on the possibility for a less Romantic and elitist understanding of creative writing in its traditional forms.
Connecting player and character agency in videogames
Authors: Cole Alayna 
Published: July 2021

In game studies, ‘agency’ is typically defined in terms of the ‘choices’ or ‘freedom’ granted to the player, which prioritises the influence of ludology on player engagement while discounting the impact of narratology (Tanenbaum & Tanenbaum 2010: 11). Alternative approaches to agency in games are under-theorised but equally important. This paper explores how player agency extends beyond in-game choices to their individual understanding and interpretation of a text, and how this form of player agency is equally evident in creative writing texts and other narrative mediums. Furthermore, this paper considers the understandings of ‘character agency’ that have been established in traditional creative writing and considers how this form of agency can influence our understanding of narrative in games. Character agency – and the autonomy of characters that it implies – engages an audience in the motivations of characters they (seemingly) do not control, and practitioners should consider how player agency intersects with the agency of non-player-characters (NPCs) if we are to understand the multi-faceted relationships audiences have with game narratives. This paper explores the ways game studies can engage with a broader consideration of agency, and how narrative is improved by the intersection of these approaches.
Waking up as Alan: Game novelisation and the player-reader-writer
Authors: Watkins Ross 
Published: July 2021

‘What kind of writer are you?’ So the question is asked of Alan Wake, best-selling novelist embedded in his own horror story in Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake (2010), and subsequent novelisation by Rick Burroughs (2010). What kind of writer you are is a question which has long vexed not only genre fiction authors, but also those writers whose work feeds on/back into established narrative worlds. Game novelisation, the ‘reverse’ adaptation of videogames into novels, has attracted almost no academic enquiry to-date, and is much maligned by critics. Yet game novelisation is a writing and publishing practice on the increase, and when considered in overlap with the voluminous quantities of game fan fiction published online, transformative narrative practice is a phenomenon which begs greater attention within creative writing. While there is much work to be done on game novelisation and game fan fiction in terms of its place, reception and impact within gamer and publishing landscapes, from a creative writing viewpoint there is value to be gained in teasing out aspects of writing that are unique to these practices, and to consider how immersion in narrative world building is altered by the player cum reader cum writer. Using Alan Wake as one example, this article presents selected contextual discussion before performing a reflection on my own experience of narrative world building as player, reader and writer.

Disturbing corporate personality to remedy a fraudulent incorporation: an analysis of the piercing principle
Authors: Griffin Stephen 
Published: July 2021

Following two recent decisions of the Supreme Court it has been confirmed that the ability to disturb corporate personality by piercing the corporate veil is as an established principle but one that should be used only as a tool of last resort. In ractice the deployment of this ‘piercing principle’ will be a rarity to the point of near extinction. This paper will contend, however, that the Supreme Court’s endorsement of a limited piercing principle does not address fully the commercial necessity of disturbing the corporate personality of companies incorporated to pursue a fraudulent activity; further, that this lacuna could have been averted had the Supreme Court identified a related but broader ‘piercing concept’ which is establishedimpliedly in the case law.
