Chilling at the grassroots? The impact of the Leveson Inquiry on journalist-source relations and the reporting of the powerful at local level
Authors: Morrison James 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
No sooner had the Leveson Inquiry opened in 2011 than journalists and politicians were warning of a ‘chilling effect’ on the willingness of the press to continue using informal avenues to research stories. A particular fear was that tougher regulation might deter newspapers from using off-the-record briefings – and occasional subterfuge – to legitimately investigate public-interest issues that would go unreported if they relied solely on official channels. But a wider concern was that a putative ‘Leveson effect’ could also discourage both journalists and sources from engaging in the day-to-day communications on which newspapers relied for routine content. Drawing on first-hand testimony from practising local journalists, this article argues that, while there is early anecdotal evidence for some chilling at the grassroots, this is affecting sources more than journalists. Moreover, their concerns are based on a (perhaps wilful) ‘scapegoating’ of Leveson for other factors hampering their relations with reporters: notably, longer-term institutional moves to regulate their relations with journalists and, perhaps more significantly, financial cutbacks.
What lies ahead for regional journalism
Authors: Longden Anthony 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The Leveson Inquiry was established to specifically examine the press and not the media in general. UK Prime Minister David Cameron set it up in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal at the now-defunct News of the World tabloid. It looked at the ethics of the press, its culture and practice. The public and judge-led enquiry generated massive media attention inside the United Kingdom and beyond on whether the government should introduce new press regulations or whether the press should regulate itself. Most of the media coverage focused on national press, with regional press getting the least attention. Anthony Longden writes about the enquiry’s impact on local press.
Towards an understanding of community music in Norway
Authors: Rinde Felicity Burbridge , Schei Tiri Bergesen 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This article explores ‘community music’ in Norway, where the term is currently being introduced into higher education. The Norwegian context is outlined, and community music practices are traced back to inclusive music education practices in the 1990s. The authors discuss whether community music is a useful concept in a Norwegian setting. Three case studies are presented, exemplifying musicmaking activities with paramusical aims beyond teaching, rehearsing and performance. Conceptualizing community music as open-access musical participation with paramusical objectives represents a contribution to a pluralistic understanding of community music in the Nordic region. As the term community music becomes an educational subject in Norway, based on local practice, the need for a common theoretical basis uniting a diversity of practices becomes salient. The authors argue that, as awareness of community music as a distinct musical discourse grows, benefits might emerge if practitioners and institutions worked to develop a common professional identity, adopting the common label ‘community music’.
Seven decades of Swedish community music through the musical life experiences of former military musicians
Authors: Westvall Maria 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This article explores the life-long trajectories of musical learning and participation amongst former military musicians, and how their musical and educational experiences spanning over 70 years, relate to community music practices in Sweden. The central questions are: Which factors seem to have formed the informants’ life-long engagement in music? How do their musical and educational experiences over these 70 years relate to community music practices in Sweden today? The army was one of the few contexts through which the vast majority of individuals could obtain free music tuition in the mid-twentieth century, and the article draws from interviews with five former military musicians who are now in their 80s. Their musical experiences, combined with educational aspects and goals informed by democratic values, mirror various characteristics of the formation of the Swedish welfare model during the second half of the twentieth century. Community music activities in Sweden often occurs in the specific interplay between top-down funded infrastructure and grassroots’ initiatives, and this article also highlights’ the role of these musicians in that particular context.
The community music practice as cultural performance: Foundations for a community music theory of social transformation
Authors: Boeskov Kim 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This article outlines a conceptual framework informed by anthropological and performance theory that allow for a deeper understanding of the connection between community music practices and processes of social transformation. By conceiving the community music practice as a cultural performance, attention is drawn to the complex relation between the meanings and relationships experienced inside the musical practice and how these affect and transform the relationships that constitute the broader social and cultural world of the participants. The discussion reveals that the relationships enacted in community music practices involving socially marginalized groups are better understood as inherently ambiguous, which challenge the idealistic perspectives often encountered in community music research.
‘There is a curse...’: Performance, adaptation and fidelity in Christopher Green and Sarah Waters’ The Frozen Scream
Authors: Hoedt Madelon 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Performed in Cardiff and Birmingham in late 2014 and early 2015, The Frozen Scream, directed by Christopher Green and written by Green and novelist Sarah Waters, offered a particular type of Christmas play to its audiences. The story of the production already begins in the marketing material and on a dedicated website, and is developed further in the theatre, where it moves between the conventions of a classic stage play and an immersive experience. What is of note is that The Frozen Scream presents itself as being based on a reportedly cursed novel, written in the 1920s, yet no such publication exists. Instead, the production is an original piece which deftly uses the language of adaptation to establish a particular context for its reception. This article aims to explore The Frozen Scream as an example of what I will call a faux or false adaptation, a deceptive adaptation, an adaptation without a source. In the essay, I will offer a close reading of the play to examine the aspects of this language of adaptation and how they are used in The Frozen Scream, as well as investigating in more detail the questions of fidelity that arise from the premise of a false adaptation.
Opera’s ‘Return to Antiquity’: Adaptation, gender and the illusion of authenticity in Gluck’s Iphigénie en Aulide
Authors: Wolfe Rachel M. E. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
During the early modern period in Europe, a revived interest in Greek tragedy exerted a dominating influence over the forms of new dramatic styles. Yet despite this influence, Greek tragedies, whether in Greek or in direct translation, were virtually never performed publicly. Instead, adapted versions of tragic plots made their way onto Europe’s public stages in a variety of forms. This article interrogates this phenomenon as it is manifested in the ‘return to Antiquity’ in eighteenth-century French opera, using Gluck’s Iphigénie en Aulide as a case study. Comparing this opera’s use of gender norms in the construction of a single character, Clytemnestra, to her gendered portrayal in both the neoclassical and classical source texts upon which Gluck drew, this article examines the ways in which adaptation may be utilized to erase evidence of cultural difference between source and target contexts, creating the illusion that the target society’s norms merely reflect an objective reality rather than a contingent and changeable cultural construct.
Band students’ perceptions of instruction via videoconferencing
Authors: Denis John 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Geographic impediments and urbanicity are core aspects of distance learning, the latter of which was defined as the degree of population concentration in a community. As distance education was largely developed to reach students removed from urban centres, better understanding of music instruction through videoconferencing may help further develop approaches to distance music education. The purpose of this study was to examine potential perceptual differences between urbanicity groupings after ensemble instruction via videoconferencing. Participants were 134 seventh (N = 80) and eighth (N = 54) grade band students at five different schools in the Southwest United States, consisting of 63 females and 71 males. Participants completed the Pupils’ Attitude Towards Technology short form questionnaire (PATT-SQ) to establish group equivalency. After completing the PATT-SQ, participants engaged in a rehearsal with a guest teacher present via videoconferencing software and immediately completed the Skype Ensemble Instruction Questionnaire. Results revealed a statistically significant difference for urbanicity, F(2, 131) = 5.891, p = 0.004, ƞ
2 = 0.083. Post hoc (Tukey Honest Significant Difference) analysis indicated that the mean for rural participants significantly differed from urban and suburban means. Possible explanations, future implications and limitations were then discussed.
Bécassine, a bande dessinée pioneer
Authors: Tannahill Lise 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Running continually from 1905 to 1939, with albums appearing sporadically until the 1960s, Les Aventures de Bécassine (Caumery and J.P. Pinchon, 1905–1939) straddled the divide between old-style illustrés and bona fide bandes dessinées (BD). Its heroine, Breton servant Bécassine, was incredibly popular, spawning dolls, films and other merchandise. The character is particularly notable for being the first female star of modern BD. Response to Les Aventures de Bécassine has been mixed, due to the series’ problematic, stereotypical depiction of Brittany and Bretons: the country is backward, the inhabitants are credulous and unintelligent. Beyond this, however, is the presence of Bécassine as a rare female character in BD. She functions both as a figure of fun and as a role model for her readers, undertaking many exciting activities (pilot, tram inspector, intrepid traveller, etc). The series gives an insight into the upheaval French society underwent in the early years of the twentieth century, and is of particular use regarding the changing place of women. It demonstrates the tensions between the ‘old world’ of French nobility and the new modernity, offering an exploration of women’s new opportunities in a fast-changing world.
Analysis of Asset Growth Anomaly on Cross-Section Stock Returns: Evidence from Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad , Wibowo Buddi 
Published: March 2017

Assorted types of market anomalies occur when stock prices deviate from the prediction of classical asset pricing theories. This study aims to examine asset growth anomaly where stocks with high asset growth will be followed by low returns in the subsequent periods. This study, using Indonesia Stock Exchanges data, finds that an equally-weighted low-growth portfolio outperforms high-growth portfolio by average 0.75% per month (9% per annum), confirming existence of asset growth anomaly. The analysis is extended at individual stock-level using fixed-effect panel regression in which asset growth effect remains significant even with controlling other variables of stock return determinants. This study also explores further whether asset growth can be included as risk factor. Employing two-stage cross-section regression in Fama and Macbeth (1973), the result aligns with some prior studies that asset growth is not a new risk factor; instead the anomaly is driven by mispricing due to investors’ overreaction and psychological bias. This result imply that asset growth anomaly is general phenomenon that can be found at mostly all stock market but in Indonesia market asset growth anomaly rise from investors’ overreaction, instead of playing as a factor of risk.
Analysis of the Effects of Role Overload and Role Conflict on Performance through Job Stress as a Mediating Variable in the Cellular Phone Trading Centers in Surabaya

Published: March 2017

The purpose of this research is to identify the effects of the role overload and role conflict on job performance with job stress as mediating variable in the cellular-phone trade-centers. The population consists of the employees working in cellular phone-shops in Trade Centers located in Surabaya, East Java. By using purposive sampling, the characteristics of 316 were selected based on their aged such as over 17 years old, residing in Surabaya, and working the cellular phone traded centers in Surabaya. The data were analyzed multiple regression. It was found that the role overload and role conflict have positive effects on job stress. However, the role overload, role conflict, and job stress have negative effects on job performance. Finally, the role overload and role conflict also have effect on job performance through job stress as a mediating variable.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
This paper is a contribution to quantification of bio-leached arsenic and antimony from mining waste collected from impoundment in Slovinky (Slovakia). Autochtonous fungal strain Aspergillus niger was used in all bioleaching experiments. The contents of arsenic and antimony in two different samples from the impoundment were 294.7 and 328.2 mg.kg−1 As and 225.3 and 285.7 mg.kg−1 Sb, respectively. After 21-day cultivation of Aspergillus niger on such contaminated substrates, this strain was capable to bioleach, bioaccumulate and biovolatilize both toxic elements.

Bayle and Panpsychism
Authors: Solère Jean-Luc 
Published: March 2017

Abstract:Pierre Bayle shows that, in order to avoid devastating objections, materialism should postulate that the property of thinking does not emerge from certain material combinations but is by nature present everywhere in matter – a hypothesis recently revived and labelled “panpsychism.” There are reasons for entertaining the idea that Bayle actually considers this enhanced materialism to be sound, as it might use the same line of defence that Bayle outlined for Stratonism. However, this would lead to a view similar to Locke’s superaddition theory, and I contend that such cannot be Bayle’s position because he embraces the Cartesian principle that each substance has only one principal attribute. As a consequence, for Bayle any system that conjoins thought with matter in the same simple substance is untenable. By contrast, this makes clear which kinds of metaphysics and epistemology modern panpsychists need to adopt in order to defend their view.
Changes in Soil Organic Matter Parameters during the Period of 18 Years Under Different Soil Management Practices
Authors: Šimanský Vladimír 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) is very important from view point of sustainable agriculture; therefore, during the years 1994–2011, the influence of different soil management practices on changes in SOM parameters in loamy Haplic Luvisol was evaluated in a field experiment in the locality of Dolná Malanta. The field experiment included two types of soil tillage – (1) conventional tillage (CT) and (2) reduced tillage (RT) – and also two treatments of fertilisation – (1) crop residues together with added NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) fertilisers (CR + NPK) and (2) added NPK fertilisers. Contents of humic substances (HS) and fulvic acids (FA) under RT increased by 1.6% and 4.4%, respectively, compared to CT during the years 1994–2011. On the other hand, contents of humic acids (HA), HA-to-FA ratios, colour quotient of HS and colour quotient of HA under CT increased by 2.0%, 2.5%, 1.8% and 2.3%, respectively, compared to RT. In CT and RT, HS declined at an average speed of 0.33% and 0.53% per year, respectively. In CR + NPK treatments and application, only NPK fertiliser caused a decline of HS at an average speed of 0.52% and 0.33 % per year, respectively. In CT, RT and CR + NPK treatments, the linear trends (statistical significant) in decline of FA were observed. All in all, the CT had a slightly better effect on the quality of SOM, whilst the stability of SOM was improved by RT. Applications of mineral fertilisers along with crop residues resulted in better quality but lower stability of SOM.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Yeast-like microorganisms are frequently isolated from horses. There is a serious interpretation problem with assessment of the health status in the diagnostics of infectious diseases, which is associated with the insufficient knowledge of the composition of the natural flora in the horses’ integumentary system. The aim of the investigations was to analyse the yeast-like flora isolated from healthy Felin ponies. The study involved 44 horses aged from 2 to 12 years. The analysed group comprised 28 mares and 16 stallions. The animals were kept in an outdoor rearing system with a possibility of periodic use of a wooden/brick shed. The investigations were conducted in an annual cycle divided into 4 periods corresponding to the seasons of the year. Smears were sampled from horses’ nostrils, mouth, ear, back, groin, vagina or foreskin, and collateral groove. Microbiological analysis of the yeast-like strains was performed after plating 1015 samples of material taken from healthy horses. The identification of fungal species was based on their culture characteristics and biochemical profile. Fourteen yeast species were isolated and identified from the sampled material. Candida guilliermondii and Candida albicans 1 were the most prevalent fungi. The study has shown seasonal variability of the composition of the integumentary system microflora in Felin ponies. The greatest number of isolates was obtained from the material sampled from the mouth.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
Evidence from animal studies suggests that endogenous nitric oxide and dopamine (DA) have a regulatory role in the rewarding system, but their interaction(s) have not been studied in avian species. In this study, 4 experiments were performed to determine the effects of central administration of L-arginine (nitric oxide precursor; 200 nmol), NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor; 100 nmol), amphetamine (an indirect DA agonist; 125 pmol) and DA (40 pmol) on feeding behavior in neonatal layer-type chickens (each experiment included 4 groups, n=12 birds in each group). Prior to the initiation of the treatments, birds were fasted for 3 hours (FD3). In experiment 1, chickens received intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of saline, L-NAME (100 nmol), amphetamine (125 pmol), and combination of L-NAME + amphetamine. In experiment 2, chickens received the ICV injection of saline, L-arginine (200 nmol), amphetamine (125 pmol) and their combination. In experiment 3, chickens received ICV injection of saline, L-arginine (200 nmol), DA (40 pmol) and L-arginine + DA. In experiment 4, chickens received ICV injection of saline, L-NAME (100 nmol), DA (40 pmol) and L-NAME + DA. Thereafter, the cumulative food intake (on the basis of metabolic body weight) was recorded until 2-h post injection. The results showed that ICV injection of amphetamine or DA significantly decreased food intake (P<0.05). Also, co-administration of L-NAME + amphetamine attenuated the hypophagic effect of amphetamine (P<0.05), while combined administration of L-NAME and DA had no effect on DA-induced hypophagia. Additionally, the hypophagic effect of amphetamine was significantly amplified by L-arginine (P<0.05), but the combination of L-arginine and DA did not alter feeding behavior which was induced by DA. These results suggest an interaction between DAergic and nitrergic systems via a presynaptic mechanism on food intake regulation in layer-type chicken.
Mathematical Problems in Creating Large Astronomical Catalogs

Published: March 2017

Abstract
The next stage after performing observations and their primary reduction is to transform the set of observations into a catalog. To this end, objects that are irrelevant to the catalog should be excluded from observations and gross errors should be discarded. To transform such a prepared data set into a high-precision catalog, we need to identify and correct systematic errors. Therefore, each object of the survey should be observed several, preferably many, times. The problem formally reduces to solving an overdetermined set of equations. However, in the case of catalogs this system of equations has a very specific form: it is extremely sparse, and its sparseness increases rapidly with the number of objects in the catalog. Such equation systems require special methods for storing data on disks and in RAM, and for the choice of the techniques for their solving. Another specific feature of such systems is their high “stiffiness”, which also increases with the volume of a catalog. Special stable mathematical methods should be used in order not to lose precision when solving such systems of equations. We illustrate the problem by the example of photometric star catalogs, although similar problems arise in the case of positional, radial-velocity, and parallax catalogs.
Basic Kinematics of the Galactic Disk from Open Cluster Data

The kinematic parameters of the Galactic disk are redetermined based on open-cluster data. It is shown that the Bottlinger-Oort model of pure circular rotation can be confidently used to describe the observed motions of disk objects at least out to heliocentric distances of 3.5 kpc.
Radial Velocity Dispersions of Star Groups in M67
Authors: Vereshchagin S. V. , Chupina N. V. 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
High-precision measurements of radial velocities of the M67 cluster members are used to calculate the radial-velocity dispersions in the stellar groups found earlier in the cluster’s corona. The previously detected feature in one of the groups (Group 60) consisting of stars with almost identical space velocities was confirmed. The possibility of more accurate future studies of the parameters of star groups using the Gaia catalogues is discussed.
