Published: March 2022

Suspended and colloidal impurities in the water that cause color, odor, and taste are offensive in water, the necessary water treatment doubled. Therefore, coagulation and flocculation is used to remove them. One of the most important material is ferric coagulant in water treatment processes. To improve the performance of different coagulants from coagulant aid can be used. Given that the raw water surface water treatment plant Ardabil via funded and organic pollution load is high, the aim of this study was possible to remove more organic material biological contamination of raw water resource treatment plant is Ardabil to compare the performance of contract of polyelectrolyte LT25 with ferric chloride as a coagulant aid with ferric chloride as well as performance, the removal of organic contamination of ferric chloride and polyelectrolyte coagulant LT25 was used. To determine the amount of coagulant required and the optimum pH for coagulation practice jar test was used. The results of these studies as well LT25 polyelectrolyte coagulant aid compared with ferric chloride coagulant indicated as a polyelectrolyte LT25 reduces settling time and pH reduction was Fluke.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we are putting forward the periodic solution of non-linear oscillators by means of variational iterative method (VIM) using Laplace transform. Here, we present a comparative study of the new technique based on Laplace transform and the previous techniques of maximum minimum approach (MMA) and amplitude frequency formulation (AFF) for the analytical results. For the non-linear oscillators, MMA, AFF and VIM by Laplace transform give the same analytical results. Comparison of analytical results of VIM by Laplace transform with numerical results by fourth-order Runge–Kutta (RK) method conforms the soundness of the method for solving non-linear oscillators as well as for the time and boundary conditions of the non-linear oscillators.
Method for Enhanced Accuracy in Machining Free-Form Surfaces on CNC Milling Machines
Authors: Werner Andrzej 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The present article describes a method for enhanced accuracy in machining free-form surfaces produced on CNC milling machines. In this method, surface patch machining programs are generated based on their nominal CAD model. After the pretreatment, coordinate control measurements are carried out. The obtained results of the measurements contain information on the values and distribution of observed machining deviations. These data, after appropriate processing, are used to build a corrected CAD model of the surface produced. This model, made using reverse engineering techniques, compensates for the observed machining deviations. After regeneration of machining programs, the object processing and control measurements are repeated. As a result of the conducted procedure, the accuracy of the manufacture of the surface object is increased. This article also proposes the introduction of a simple procedure for the filtration of measurement data. Its purpose is to minimise the effect of random phenomena on the final machining error correction. The final part of the article presents the effects of the proposed method of increasing the accuracy of manufacturing on ‘raw’ and filtered measurement data. In both cases, a significant improvement in the accuracy of the machining process was achieved, with better final results obtained from the filtered measurement data. The method proposed in the article has been verified for three-axis machining with a ball-end cutter.
Employing Atmospheric Sensors and Turbulent Energy Cascade Theory to Quantify Hazardous Airborne Transmissibility
Authors: Cazacu Ana , Bodale Ilie , Roșu Alin Iulian 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Airborne viruses, bacteria, or toxins are dangerous because of the nature of the human transmission pathway through breathing. However, every airborne component must conform to the laws of physics governing atmospheric propagation. Given the fact that most atmospheric flows, at both ground level and throughout the atmosphere, are highly turbulent, the mechanisms of turbulence can be employed to understand the propagation of such components. In this paper, the problem of harmful airborne pathogen transmission is considered in the context of atmospheric turbulence and wall-bounded flow theory. Two approaches are considered: one of them relies on singular measurements of building boundary distances and morphology, and the other relies on constant temperature measurement. The theoretical and practical potential of these approaches is then discussed and explained in a larger urban context.
A Tumor Growth Model with a „Butterfly” – Type Chaotic Time Attractor. Cancer Evolution Through a Traveling Waves-Type Mechanism
Authors: Butuc Irina , Ghizdovăţ Vlad , Rusu Cristina-Marcela , Buzea Călin Gheorghe 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In this paper we propose a new tumor growth model, based on the original model developed by Anderson-Chaplain to which we attached Ivancevic’s “butterfly” time attractor. The chaotic behavior provides a more realistic perspective on tumor growth, with uncertainties and uncontrollable long term stochastic effects.
Dispersive Behaviours in Complex Structures
Authors: Butuc Irina , Ghizdovăţ Vlad 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In the framework of the Scale Relativity Theory, a fractal Korteweg-de Vries-type equation for describing dispersive behaviours of any complex structure is obtained. In the one-dimensional case, the general solution of this equation show that the dispersive behaviours of any complex structure are given by means of cnoidal oscillation modes. Through these modes degeneration, dispersive behaviours of soliton, soliton-package, harmonic etc. result.
A “Hidden” Symmetry and Some of Its Implications
Authors: Ghizdovăţ Vlad , Guţu Mihai Marius , Oprea Iuliana , Ştefănescu Cipriana 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In Physics, hidden symmetries can either be employed to describe special systems and configurations, or even be used as a basic block of a theory itself. In this paper, a special hidden symmetry of a physical field propagation phenomenon, having strong implications in the interactions theories (a classical Fresnel-type image of light propagation) is analyzed.
You Shall Not Pass: The Strategic Narratives Defining Russia’s Soft Power in Lithuania
Authors: Česnakas Giedrius 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The article argues that states’ narratives about themselves and each other, shaped by the foreign policy decision-makers, create filters for the achievement of soft power goals. A state agent can shape narratives that can be rejected by the state’s target’s society because they would undermine dominating biographical and strategic narratives of the state target. The empirical analysis of the narratives of the president, minister of foreign affairs, and spokesperson of the MFA of Russia illustrates how Russia prevents itself from soft power expansion by “othering” Lithuania. At the same time, analysis of the narratives of presidents and the minister of the foreign affairs of Lithuania illustrates how they shield society from Russia’s narratives and, thus, soft power while searching for “sameness” with the Euro-Atlantic partners.

Abstract
This article studies the Kosovo Government decision to restrict freedom of movement vis-á-vis freedom of gathering during the Covid-19 pandemic, a restriction which has directly affected religious freedoms and practices across multiple religions. The article also addresses the decision of the Constitutional Court, which ruled that the Government’s decision was unconstitutional. The article reflects on and contextualizes the behaviors of different religious communities in Kosovo, in light of these religious restrictions in the age of Covid-19.
Accountability, Public Values, and Participatory Budgeting in Poland
Authors: Zawadzka-Pąk Urszula Kinga 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Among the different instruments of collaborative governance, participatory budgeting (PB) is of particular interest in Poland. PB includes the residents who co-decide about local public expenditure. PB proponents suggest that it has the potential to democratize budgeting but others point to the ease with which organized groups sometimes capture the process to serve their interests. The analysis shows that due to the weak axiological grounds that result from the infringements of all nodal public values, e.g. human dignity, sustainability, citizen involvement, openness, secrecy, compromise, integrity, and robustness, PB in Poland has little potential to enhance accountability for the protection of the common good.
Criminalization of the Promise and Offer to Give or Accept a Bribe as a Completed Criminal Offense: Compliance with the Ultima ratio Principle
Authors: Gruodytė Edita , Urbšytė Ugnė 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
As the processes of globalization become more intense, the legislation adopted by international institutions occupies an increasingly important place in national criminal law, including crimes related to corruption. However, the regulation of some acts of corruption, in the context of sustainable development, raises questions about its compliance with criminal law principles. This article examines the requirements of international law to criminalize a promise and offer to give or accept a bribe in national law, recognizing that criminalization of such actions as completed criminal offense potentially violates the principle of ultima ratio. The article demonstrates that there is no unequivocal conclusion from international law that states must provide for liability for all acts of bribery as a completed criminal act. In order to implement the principle of ultima ratio, criminal liability for acts consisting essentially in the preparation or attempt to pay a bribe should not be enshrined in the same paragraph as bribery, where the bribe is exchanged by hand.
The Good Faith Based Approach as a Legally Acceptable Intervention in Freedom of Contract to Protect Consumers’ Rights When Banks Unilaterally Close Accounts
Authors: Jelisejevs Aleksejs 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This article assesses the permissibility of interference in private autonomy under the good faith principle when payment service providers unilaterally terminate contracts with consumers. The protection of the interests of such consumers is impeded by the formal application of legal rules and contractual terms, which ultimately contradicts public interests, including combating money laundering and terrorism financing. To overcome this conflict, the article proposes a doctrinal approach according to which the bank’s right to withdraw from the contract unilaterally should be limited by the systemic and teleological interpretation of regulating rules in combination with the general civil principle of good faith, which, by analogy with the original source of the problem, is called a good faith based approach. One of the general frameworks for implementing this approach is respect for freedom of contract, which is limited by the non-discussion presumption, modern civil law practice, and legal regulation of a consumer’s interests. According to research based on EU and Latvian law, legal doctrine, and case law, there are also valid reasons to intervene in private autonomy that should be recognized as legally acceptable for restoring justice and contractual equality in favor of consumers.
Construction Safety Management Report for High-Rise Buildings
Authors: Ni Pengcheng 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Due to the current rapid economic development, all walks of life have also achieved considerable development. Among them, the construction industry is particularly prominent. In the process of modern city construction, high-rise and super high-rise buildings are more and more common. As we can see, there are a lot of accidents happening at the construction site. In order to find the CSFs for safety management, the author uses SPSS software to collect the data from survey and then performs an analysis. This way, the key factors have been found to affect the safety management. In the meantime, the case study is used to verify the key factors and get the correlation between different CSFs. In order to reduce the possibilities of safety problems at construction sites and propose some suggestions to existing problems, the author combines the current situation and CSFs. The aim of the article is to help companies manage construction sites more efficiently, thus promoting the healthy development of the construction industry in Poland.
Assessment of Land Speculator’s Operation for Land Accessibility in Nigeria
Authors: Oyedeji Joseph Oyewale 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Land speculation is a form of investment for future gain in form of appreciation in land value. Previous studies on land speculation have failed to examine the operations of land speculators but rather focused on negative impact of land speculation. This study fills this gap by evaluating the operation of land speculators. A hypothesis is tested in addition to four specific objectives. The 21 land speculators with physical presence in five local governments neighbouring Lagos State, Nigeria, have been surveyed using questionnaires. Data gathered have been analysed using frequency distribution table, relative importance index (RII), ranking and linear regression. Findings of the study reveal that family is the major source of land acquisition. Also, land speculation activity is not regulated in the study area. The study reveals that the majority of the speculated land is not covered by a state recognised title. The most prevalent activity of the land speculators in the study area is apportioning land into plot with RII of 0.962. Also, land speculation is mostly financed using equity with RII of 0.895. Profiteering from business is the highest ranked motivation with RII of 0.914. The highest ranked perceived consequence from land speculator’s perspective is an increase in land price with RII of 0.914. The study hypothesis H0 stating that there is no significant impact of land speculation on land accessibility has been rejected and an alternate hypothesis has been accepted as it has been established that land speculation has a significant impact on land accessibility which means that land speculation is a major hindrance to land accessibility. Assessment of land speculator’s operation reveals their awareness of the negative consequences of their actions. However, they are motivated by anticipated proceeds from the venture.
The Work Concept in Eighteenth-Century Italian Opera: Some Issues, Modest Proposals and Contributions
Authors: Polin Giovanni 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Determining in an unequivocal and definitive way what the Italian dramma per musica was in the eighteen century is only apparently an easy task. Starting with a discussion of the definition of eighteen century Italian dramma per musica as a variable spectacular text, the paper attempts to provide a concise taxonomy useful for critically assessing the situations that can arise when analysing the sources and tradition of opere impasticciate and pasticci. Changes in operatic texts, in all their components (the poetry, music, visual and proxemic aspects) can occur at various levels of their evolutionary textual tradition, in different functions, manners, and for different reasons. The change of operators and other environmental contexts may lead to adaptive reworking, to a varying degree, of one or more of the linguistic elements constituting the work: verse, music, scenes and so on. It should be noted that the documentation of one or more levels may, naturally, be partly or completely lost.
Furthermore, some possible new research themes have been suggested as an attempt to understand the ways and reasons for the peculiarities of the adaptations of Italian dramma per musica in foreign countries. Within this context the work’s adaptations created by the composers may reveal facts that deserve to be studied more systematically. For instance, they may have an almost involuntary cognitive, formative function. Adapting a text forces one to reflect on its dramaturgy, to formulate solutions and find ideas that can make it still theatrically effective, It can even, if necessary, transform the maestro into a proto-director who guides the musician-actors. It is appropriate to investigate this point and verify, for example, whether and how the adaptations introduced in the various situations by the different maestri in some central European theatres could lead to a richer language of musical gestures correlated with an actor’s personal gestural expression which, perhaps, was more explicit or more disguised in those countries.
Just for the Ladies? Compilation, Knowledge Practice and Pasticcio in England around 1720
Authors: Knoth Ina 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In 1719, the Royal Academy of Music was founded with the purpose of setting Italian opera in England on solid ground. Previously, at least two thirds of the Italian operas staged in London had been pasticci. Much of the criticism of the Italian opera before 1719 concerned stylistic fickleness. This is just one reason why it seems likely that the declining number of pasticci after 1719 can be interpreted as an effect of the move against stylistic compilations in music. In fact, in the first period of the Academy’s opera management (from 1720 to 1728) the share of pasticci fell to approximately 10 percent or even less – depending on where the dividing line is placed at a time before the English definition of the operatic pasticcio was established. My paper focuses on some experiments between ‘opera’ and ‘pasticcio’, staged in the Royal Academy’s first period (particularly Muzio Scevola), presented against the backdrop of the audience’s more general cultural knowledge practices and the works’ appeal to female members of the audience.
The Art of ‘Cooking’ a Pasticcio: Musical Recipes and Ingredients for Pasticcio Operas
Authors: Over Berthold 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Despite the rather pejorative implications that the musical pasticcio has today, it may have been an appreciated art form in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The term pasticcio is clearly derived from the culinary pasticcio, which was a highlight at aristocratic banquets in this time. The mixture of tastes and the spectacular presentation which characterises the culinary pasticcio, as well as the contemporary concept that culinary as well as painted ‘pasticcios’ are distinguished by ‘unity amidst variety’, can equally be found in the musical pasticcio. Several layers can be perceived, exemplified by the pasticcio Arione (Milan 1694) and those which George Frideric Handel and the Mingotti opera troupe staged in London and other places. The ‘noble’ pasticcio may be defined as characterised by a musical idea which, like a pastry, covers the entire piece and relates the individual elements to the whole. If it is lacking, the pasticcio becomes a conglomerate of music, like a dish whose ingredients are all thrown together.
Pasticcio and Pleasure. L’abbandono di Armida (Venice 1729)
Authors: Markuszewska Aneta 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Operatic pasticcio and the need for experiencing pleasure were inseparable in eighteenth-century operatic theatre, as can be demonstrated on the example of L’abbandono di Armida, a pasticcio that was performed in the Venetian Teatro San Giovanni Grisostomo on the last day of the 1729 carnival and gained considerable success. The article discusses the ingredients of pleasure derived from experiencing the pasticcio, which seems to have been multi-layered (the word ingredients used here perfectly reflects the haute cuisine roots of the pasticcio). The librettist Giovanni Boldini re-used for Armida arias from successful operas by Nicola Porpora, Tomaso Albinoni (?), Leonardo Leo, Leonardo Vinci, and Benedetto Marcello. Five arias have been analysed in order to exemplify the diversity of musical pleasure that the audience could experience. The final question is whether the pleasure drawn from a pasticcio is limited to one historical period, or possibly it presents a more universal appeal.
Pasticcio, Arrangement, or Adaptation? Georg Philipp Telemann's Pasticcio Judith Based on Fortunato Chelleri's dramma per musica Innocenza difesa
Authors: zur Nieden Gesa 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In musicological research on the eighteenth-century operatic pasticcio it has often been discussed how pasticci can be distinguished from dramme per musica. The article examines the evolution of Fortunato Chelleri's opera Innocenza difesa in the course of its adaption for several performance venues (Florence 1720, Venice 1722, Kassel 1725, Wolfenbüttel/Brunswich 1731), as well as pasticcio projects based on Chelleri's score (Hamburg 1732). By analysing the surviving libretti, scores, and sheet music related to Chelleri's opera, it can be shown that Chelleri as well as the arranger of the Hamburg pasticcio-production, Georg Philipp Telemann, paid attention to the overarching dramaturgical principles as well as to new forms of music publishing in large metropolises such as London. Telemann not only chose some arias by George Frederic Handel from among the most celebrated numbers in the opera Lotharius (composed by Handel, printed by John Walsh in London, 1730), but he also fostered Chelleri's focus on Judith as a main character. Within these musical-dramaturgical perspectives, based on very loose networks of connections between librettists, composers, singers, and probably stage designers, requests for specific arias from individual singers could also be accommodated.
The Crisis of Physical Education in the Discourse of Mimicry: Ukrainian and Global Contexts
Authors: Sainchuk Mykola , Petrachkov Oleksandr , Sainchuk Anna , Verbyn Nazarii 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
This study presents a qualitative analytical approach through a critical analysis of data to critically describe, interpret, and explain the crisis in physical education (PE) in Ukraine and the world. The subject of consideration is the Ukrainian PE curriculum, which must be followed by all teachers when making lesson plans. Among the many different obstacles for Ukrainian PE, the study focused on one of the most important and hidden barriers, which is a kind of multiplier of the crisis – the culture of mimicry. Institutional mimicry is a serious problem that has been poorly analyzed, but it is actually very significant and often causes crises or slows down the progress of PE. Ignoring or failing to understand the factor of mimicry reduces the possibility of escaping a crisis or even makes escape impossible. The results show that the mimicry of PE is at least two-tiered: on the one hand, it is bureaucratic (external), and on the other, it is “internal” (based on tradition). Mimicry in the Ukrainian reality of PE is not advertised, but there is almost no alternative path for development. The constant mimicry of PE in Ukraine has created a paradoxical situation in which scientific expediency yields to politics and eventually leads to a new crisis. The study shows that there is a missing culture of influence on political decisions in Ukraine. Ukrainian PE teachers have a culture of mimicry, not a culture of leadership. The Ukrainian PE curriculum for secondary schools contains contradictions in its theoretical and practical parts.
