Transformations and cultural change in Scottish music education: Historical perspectives and contemporary solutions
Authors: Sheridan Mark , Byrne Charles 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Cultural and socio-political disruptions have a direct impact on educational provision in both formal and non-formal contexts. Since the end of the Second World War, Scotland has faced significant upheaval in its social and economic fabric with the loss of traditional manufacturing and heavy industry, which was the mainstay of its financial stability. The formal education sector responded with far reaching changes in curriculum and assessment process in school examinations provision in the 1970s and 1980s; while grassroots organizations have driven a regeneration of older deeper musical and cultural foundations, flourishing over the last 40 years, despite, or because, of these disruptions. And young people in communities across Scotland are the core of this transformation. In 2008 the authors wrote:
What is important in this phenomenon is that young people are reclaiming the wealth of folk music and culture that had almost died out within largely rural communities in the margins of the north and north-west of Scotland (Campbell, 1999; Munro, 1996; Shaw, 1977). The work of Fèisean Nan Gàidheal has been largely instrumental in this restoration.
(Broad & France, 2006; Matarasso, 1996)
This article explores the responses to these changes and offers perspectives on the Scottish narrative for a wider global audience.
Thumbs Up: The effective use of music in health and well-being education for Australian Aboriginal youth in remote communities
Authors: Anthony Brendan , Weston Donna , Vallen Samuel 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
The academic literature on Australian Indigenous health and well-being suggests an overwhelming need for education to alleviate ‘lifestyle’ diseases and social dysfunction. Yet, the socio-cultural diversity of Australian Aboriginal communities provides a challenging landscape for efficacious and long-lasting support processes. The ‘Uncle Jimmy Thumbs Up!’ (UJTU) programme is facing these issues from an innovative perspective. ‘Thumbs up’, addresses health and well-being in remote Aboriginal communities from the ground up by engaging in music education programmes with the youth of the community, which subsequently filters through to the broader community. Based on an analysis of the effectiveness of a ‘Thumbs Up’ case study, this article will present preliminary recommendations for working with Australian Indigenous youth and their broader communities through facilitated musical activities. Informal learning frameworks, which incorporate music-making shared between educators and community members, are shown to be a constructive means of engaging the youth and empowering them in the management of their health and well-being.
Shared spaces: Artistic methods for collaborative works
Authors: Dahlqvist Jörgen , Olofsson Kent 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Teatr Weimar is a performing arts collective founded in 2003 and located in Malmö, Sweden. The group brings together playwrights, directors, actors, musicians and other artists to explore the boundaries and expressive potential of contemporary performing arts. The works of the collective are syntheses of traditional and experimental theatre, new music theatre, concert music, radiophonic art, video art and sound installations. The approach and practice of integrating different art forms and genres are vastly diverse. This article will discuss a number of terms, concepts and methods that have emerged out of the body of works as essential tools for the collaborative artistic processes.
Touch-less: Wearable music and the score-theatre
Authors: Spagnolo Simone 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
This article reflects on the idea of the music score as a wearable theatrical prop, an idea able both to envisage theatrical gestures as the outgrowth of music notation and epitomize the intangibility of music by means of ‘ostented’ dramaturgical objects. Through an exploration of Touch-less: Wearable Graphic Scores for One Acting Singer, a self-composed work, this article discusses the compositional and aesthetic processes that emerge from the combination of a graphically notated score and the idea of wearable-score-prop within the framework of new music theatre, a combination that eventually leads toward an appreciation of the score-theatre. The discussion takes into consideration relevant examples and concepts put forward by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mauricio Kagel and Sylvano Bussotti. Similarly, it proposes connections between the idea of score-prop and the aesthetic properties of the calligram.
From process to progress: Completion?
Authors: Wilkins Caroline 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
As a composer/performer with a background in practice as research, I propose a study of two works in progress, The Dressing Room (2014–) and Beyonsense (2015–), both of which are at different stages of ‘completion’ and ongoing in terms of their performance history. My approach combines perspectives taken from both the creative process and the performative experience, together with a more reflective position of analysis regarding their future integration. This discussion is placed within a context that argues for the vital role played by festivals, arts organizations and academic institutions in facilitating the presentation of new forms of music theatre that are at different stages of development. Drawing on my own experience of these, I evaluate the importance of a work’s exposure, as a work-in-the-making, to both colleagues and cross-disciplinary audiences alike.
‘Kungfu/Jazz’ as a new approach to music theatre making: Fred Ho and ‘manga opera’
Authors: Liu Sissi 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
In this article, kungfu and jazz – performing art forms that originated from the racial Others – will be used as shorthand for two concurrent, interdependent and dialectically opposing cultural processes: one that prioritizes boundary formation or reinforcement, and one that favours boundary elimination or crossing. I analyse the processes of Kungfu and Jazz in the case of Ho’s Voice of the Dragon (1997–2006) and explore the paradoxical process of negotiating between the two, Kungfu and Jazz, in Ho’s creation of a new genre: ‘manga opera’. I propose that in a world of increasing global encounters, racial and ethnic multiplicities, and political and cultural complexities, Kungfu/Jazz provides a politically progressive and transgressive approach to the process of boundary-conscious musical theatre-making.
Notes on the Presence of the Greek Tragedy in Colombia
Authors: Romero Rey Sandro 
Published: February 2018

El mundo antiguo y, en particular, el de la tragedia griega, se presenta en Colombia bajo diversas máscaras. En el presente texto se hace un recorrido a través de la presencia de los textos de Esquilo, Sófocles y Eurípides en distintas manifestaciones artísticas. Desde la poesía y la narrativa, pasando por el cine y las artes visuales, la tragedia antigua ha servido como metáfora para reflexionar sobre la situación de violencia extrema en el país suramericano y las maneras como se puede construir Electra. Coproducción de la Escuela Nacional de Arte Dramático (ENAD; Bogotá, Colombia) y la Nordisk Teaterskole de Arhus (Dinamarca). Dirección: Sandro Romero Rey. Fotos: Karen Lamassonne. (1993).Al mismo tiempo se concentra en los distintos modelos escénicos, desde su praxis en las tablas, donde se destacan las versiones “ilustrativas”, las transformaciones en las convenciones de la representación o la utilización de las fábulas como detonantes en inmersiones creativas mucho más ambiciosas. El presente texto en inglés fue el punto de partida para los Encounters with Classical Antiquity in Latin America.

Synopsis of theSOFLPlant-Specific Gene Family
Authors: Tayengwa Reuben , Zhao Jianfei , Pierce Courtney F , Werner Breanna E , Neff Michael M 
Published: February 2018

AbstractSUPPRESSOR OF PHYB-4#5DOMINANT (sob5-D) was previously identified as a suppressor of the phyB-4 long-hypocotyl phenotype in Arabidopsis thaliana. Overexpression of SOB5 conferred dwarf phenotypes similar to those observed in plants containing elevated levels of cytokinin (CK) nucleotides and nucleosides. Two SOB-FIVE- LIKE (SOFL) proteins, AtSOFL1 and AtSOFL2, which are more similar at the protein level to each other than they are to SOB5, conferred similar phenotypes to the sob5-D mutant when overexpressed. We used protein sequences of founding SOFL gene family members to perform database searches and identified a total of 289 SOFL homologs in genomes of 89 angiosperm species. Phylogenetic analysis results implied that the SOFL gene family emerged during the expansion of angiosperms and later evolved into four distinct clades. Among the newly identified gene family members are four previously unreported Arabidopsis SOFLs. Multiple sequence alignment of the 289 SOFL protein sequences revealed two highly conserved domains; SOFL-A and SOFL-B. We used overexpression and site-directed mutagenesis studies to demonstrate that SOFL domains are necessary for SOB5 and AtSOFL1’s overexpression phenotypes. Examination of the subcellular localization patterns of founding Arabidopsis thaliana SOFLs suggested they may be localized in the cytoplasm and/or the nucleus. Overall, we report that SOFLs are a plant-specific gene family characterized by two conserved domains that are important for function.
Evaluación de una planta piloto para el tratamiento de aguas residuales ordinarias por medio de un filtro percolador con relleno de esponjas colgantes de flujo descendente (DHS) como postratamiento de un efluente de sedimentador primario
Authors: Mora Erick Centeno , Ugalde Herra José Luis , Rodríguez Cambronero Diego 
Published: February 2018

La investigación consistió en evaluar un filtro percolador con material de relleno de espuma de poliuretano para el postratamiento de un efluente de sedimentador primario. A esta tecnología se le conoce como DHS por sus siglas en inglés para Downflow Hanging Sponge. El tren de tratamiento se completó con un sedimentador secundario (SS) a la salida del DHS. El sistema DHS + SS se monitoreó por más de un año (entrada al DHS y salida del SS), haciendo variar el tiempo de retención hidráulica y revisando las eficiencias de remoción de materia orgánica en términos de la DBO, DQO y los SST. El sistema presentó su mejor desempeño para un tiempo de retención hidráulica de 2,8 horas, equivalente a una carga orgánica volumétrica de entre 0,60 a 0,80 kgDBO/m3-d. Para esa condición se cumplió con los límites de DBO y DQO del DE-33601-S-MINAE en el 100% de los casos, aunque se incumplió en un 25% del tiempo para el parámetro de SST. Se presume que el sistema presentó problemas a nivel del sedimentador secundario, generando un arrastre de lodos que afectó el resultado de SST en el efluente final. Se recomienda ampliar la escala de la prueba con el reactor DHS, usando una planta de tratamiento de escala real y mejorando sustancialmente el sistema de distribución de agua a la entrada y el sedimentador secundario.

Published: February 2018

El presente documento tiene como objetivo sacar a luz las necesidades que posee la industria de dispositivos médicos en Costa Rica en cuanto a técnicas de caracterización superficial química. Se realizaron entrevistas y visitas informativas a las empresas, para determinar sus necesidades en caracterizaciones químicas de la superficie y detectar potenciales clientes del servicio. Se evaluó si el país se encuentra en la capacidad técnica y económica de brindarles ya sea por medios privados o gubernamentales dichos servicios. Esto será un primer abordaje para promover el encadenamiento productivo y la diversificación de los servicios que puede brindar el país. Como resultado se obtiene, que hay un gran desconocimiento técnico en el país relacionado al alcance de estas técnicas de caracterización superficial. Se concluye que algunos de los problemas rutinarios, que estas empresas encuentran, así como la innovación tecnológica podrían ser abordados si existiese el servicio en el país con las debidas acreditaciones para estos ensayos.
A Basic Outline of Slovenian Consumer Protection with an Emphasis on Alternative Dispute Resolution
Authors: Kraljić Suzana , Drnovšek Katja 
Published: February 2018

Consumer protection today represents a modern segment of human rights, which in recent years has carved out a wider role in national, European and international law. The objective of this paper is to show the fundamental principles of consumer protection in the Republic of Slovenia, where intensive consumer protection began to take root after the country gained its independence in 1991. In the subsequent 25 years, numerous legal acts have been adopted and documents introduced which either in whole or in part address the protection of consumer rights. The foremost and most basic legal act is the Consumer Protection Act, which has been repeatedly amended and supplemented, with the intention that Slovenian legislation should follow and be harmonised (mainly) with European and international trends in consumer protection. The last important step was taken with the adoption of Out-of-Court Resolution of the Consumer Disputes Act, which entered into force on 14 November 2015. This Act has transposed in the Slovenian legal system Directive 2013/11/EU on alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes
Protecting Consumers as the Buyers and Users of Cosmetic Products in the Light of European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on Cosmetic Products
Authors: Michałowska Kinga 
Published: February 2018

The article focuses on the legal classification of cosmetic products and the protection of consumers as the buyers of cosmetics products. Provided under the international and the national legal systems, the protection is guaranteed by two equally valid legal bases: the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council (EC) of 30 November 2009, No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products and the Act of 30 March 2001 on cosmetic products. Due to the practical difficulties that attend classifying a product as a cosmetic or otherwise, the issue of determining the similarities and differences between a cosmetic product, a medicinal product and a medical device are discussed. Reference is made also to the issue of the qualifications of the persons providing cosmetic services, and who apply cosmetic products, and the liability that falls upon these individuals.
The Impact of EU Law on Consumer Protection in Real Estate Development Contracts (Pre-construction Contracts)
Authors: Lic Jan 
Published: February 2018

The real estate development contract is partially regulated in the Act on the protection of the purchaser of dwelling premises or a detached house. This Act provides for three types of consumer protection measures: those related to the protection of the purchaser’s interest at the moment of concluding the contract, those that secure his payments and those related to the stage of implementing the commitments of the developer. Moreover, the Act provides for civil penalties and criminal sanctions in respect of the developer’s obligations. The impact of EU law on this Act is not unambiguous. On the one hand, EU legislation indicates and supports the overall objective of the regulation, namely the protection of the consumer. On the other hand, there is no corresponding directive on consumer protection in the real estate development contracts. Unfortunately, the European Union has not exercised the power granted to it under articles 4 and 169 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It is only in the area of the liability for defects of the subject matter of a contract that one can perceive the direct impact of EU law, because in this respect Directive 1999/44/EC applies within the EU.
