Taoist Reflections in the Performance of the Modern Concerto for Double Bass
Authors: GUO JIAWEN , Wang Yudan , Zhang Wenwen , Huang Yi 
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the influence of Daoist thought on the composition and performance of modern double bass concertos. In a cross-cultural context, the double bass has deeply integrated with traditional Chinese philosophy, particularly Daoist thought, giving rise to a series of outstanding works embodying Daoist principles such as “Dao follows nature”, “Wu Wei” (non-action), and “Xu Jing” (emptiness and tranquility). These works either employ new media and techniques to evoke an ethereal and flowing Eastern aesthetic, internalize Daoist thinking in their generative logic to imbue the music with a unique rhythmic vitality, or highlight the contemporary dynamism of traditional culture through the fusion of Eastern and Western elements, thereby opening up broader expressive dimensions for double bass music. This trend suggests that Chinese double bass performers, while drawing upon the rich nourishment of indigenous philosophical thoughts like Daoism, should also embrace diverse artistic elements from around the world. Only through the dual interaction of inheritance and innovation, local and global perspectives, can a contemporary double bass musical lexicon be distilled—one that possesses both national characteristics and global expressiveness.

The living environment given by God Almighty to the Indonesian people is a gift that must be developed and preserved. The aim is that the environment can support the lives of the nation, people and other living creatures and improve the overall quality of life. Floating Net Cage technology is a very productive and intensive aquaculture method, with a structure consisting of several net cages placed on floating rafts in coastal waters. This article was written using the library research method, namely by codifying scientific sources from various journals and articles with the same data and then combining them to obtain information about the impact of feed waste from floating net cage cultivation. Intensive cultivation in floating net cage produces waste that is discharged into the aquatic environment and can significantly affect water quality. The waste load from floating net cage cultivation can cause the loss of seagrass beds (Posidonia oceanica). Another impact is a decrease in the diversity of infauna in sediments and degradation of the bottom of the waters. Steps that can be taken to prevent environmental pollution in floating net cage cultivation are by paying attention to several aspects such as the use of quality and effective feed, and minimizing leftover feed that is wasted into the sea and using the right amount thus reducing pollution.

This study aims to analyze the effect of allelopathy from leaf extracts of Acacia auriculiformis and Melia azadirachta on the germination of mung beans (Vigna radiata). Alleleopathy is a biological phenomenon in which chemical compounds released by certain plants affect the growth and development of other plants. This study used an experimental method with various concentrations of leaf extracts of the two tree species (0%, 10%, 20%, and 40%). The parameters observed included germination percentage, growth rate, root length, and mung bean bud length. The results showed that the increase in the concentration of Acacia auriculiformis and Melia azadirachta leaf extracts significantly inhibited the germination process and early growth of mung beans. Allelopathic compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and total phenols are thought to be the main cause of the barrier. Growth and development in acacia leaf extraction (Acacia auriculiformis) showed that the growth and development of green bean seeds experienced rapid growth, even exceeding growth in the control treatment. The difference in concentration in the analysis of further tests of neem leaf extraction and acacia gave a quite significant effect, in acacia leaf extraction there was no major effect on germination, but in neem leaf extraction on green beans which was given a negative effect on germination which at a concentration of 40% was much slower compared to other concentrations.

The classical presentation of typhoid has changed over the years. Atypical presentation of typhoid is now seen in clinical practice. Entericfever can present with atypical manifestations like abdominal lymphadenopathy, acute acalculous cholecystitis, osteomyelitis, splenic abscess and Pneumonia. Jaundice splenic abscess and thrombocytopenia in a febrile patient in the tropics is commonly due to Malaria, Leptospirosis and Dengue. We report a case of typhoid fever presenting with jaundice and thrombocytopenia. A 17 year old male presented to us with history of fever and jaundice. Investigations revealed thrombocytopenia and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Blood culture grew Salmonella Typhi. He was treated with ceftriaxone and he improved. A diagnosis of typhoid fever must be considered in a febrile patient with jaundice and thrombocytopenia in the tropics.

Formation of a methodology for determining valid tax liabilities in case of unjustified application of tax benefits and reduced tax rates
Authors: Kosenkova YUliia 
Published: January 2025

The article is devoted to the issue of calculating valid tax liabilities in the process of tax control in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the topic is due to the lack of a unified methodology for calculating valid tax liabilities (VTL), which leads to a significant number of tax disputes, inconsistency between the position of official financial authorities and judicial practice, violation of the rights and economic interests of taxpayers, lack of uniformity in the approaches of tax and law enforcement agencies in the process of determining the amount of valid tax liabilities within the framework of tax control, and law enforcement activities. The object of the study is the social and economic relations that develop between taxpayers and tax authorities in the process of tax control. The subject of the study is the process of determining the amount of valid tax liabilities when identifying tax offenses. The research used general scientific methods of cognition – analysis, synthesis, induction, description, principles of formal logic, as well as private scientific methods - graphical, method of analyzing specific legal situations. The study was based on the analysis of scientific publications on relevant topics, as well as on the analysis of judicial practice in tax disputes. Within the framework of the article, recommendations are given on the formation of a unified methodology for calculating the VTL on the example of one of the directions for obtaining unjustified tax benefits – the illegal use of tax incentives and reduced tax rates. Within the framework of the study, the application of the actual calculation method for this type of tax offenses is justified; the risk markers of the scheme are identified and options for measures implemented by the tax authority to establish valid tax obligations are proposed; the accounting procedure for corporate income tax expenses and value added tax amounts, taking into account tax deductions, is determined. The novelty lies in the formation of a methodology for calculating the VTL in relation to the unjustified application of tax benefits and reduced rates, which can and should be an integral part of a single methodology that takes into account the main directions of obtaining unjustified tax benefits. The practical significance lies in the possibility of using such a methodology by both taxpayers and tax authorities based on the results of tax control measures, which will reduce the volume of contradictions, protect both the interests of the budget and the economic interests of taxpayers at the same time.

Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the analysis of the need and possibility of creating public councils at the tax inspections of the Federal Tax Service of Russia (hereinafter also referred to as the Federal Tax Service of Russia) at the grassroots level (in particular, for district, urban, inter–district inspections). The current legislation on public control, in particular, Federal Law No. 212-FZ dated July 21, 2014 "On the Basics of Public Control in the Russian Federation" provided for the possibility of creating public councils under federal executive authorities. Today, such councils exist under the Federal Tax Service of Russia and its territorial divisions in the Russian regions. The authors substantiate the insufficiency of this category of subjects of public control under the Federal Tax Service of Russia and territorial divisions at the regional level, since a significant part of on-site and desk inspections of taxpayers in the country are carried out by low-level inspections. The article uses a number of scientific research methods, in particular: formal-logical; historical-legal; comparative-legal; statistical; sociological; method of analyzing specific legal situations. The paper formalizes and analyzes the main problems that complicate the processes of formation and creation of public councils under the inspections of the Federal Tax Service of Russia at the grassroots level, among which are: the absence in the legislation on public control of a direct indication of the possibility of creating public councils under the territorial divisions of federal executive authorities; the controversial nature of the mechanism for the formation of public councils under the Federal Tax Service of Russia and its territorial divisions; lack of consolidation in tax legislation and local acts of the Federal Tax Service of the need and possibility of creating such public councils at the inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service of Russia at the grassroots level; lack of elaboration in the scientific legal doctrine of specific forms, methods and types of public control measures for these subjects; their weak powers; weak use of modern digital technologies; the dependence of these entities on the Federal Tax Service of Russia in terms of material, technical, property, and organizational base. The article develops a system of measures to resolve these problems.
International legal regulation of medical care using telemedicine technologies
Authors: Grigorev Ivan Vladimirovich 
Published: January 2025

The implementation of the priority project "Improving the processes of organizing medical care based on the introduction of information technologies" for 2016-2025 revealed the need for a scientific analysis of the features of international legal regulation of medical care using telemedicine technologies. The subject of the study is normative and methodological sources defining the rights and obligations in the field of medical care with the use of telemedicine technologies, as well as mechanisms for their implementation. The author presents a classification of international sources on the provision of medical care using telemedicine technologies, depending on their legal force and the subject-territorial scope of international sources. The international acts concluded within the framework of the Commonwealth of Independent States are analyzed in detail. Special attention is paid to the sources adopted by the International Labour Organization and the World Health Organization. The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific methods of system analysis and generalization of normative, scientific and practical materials; private scientific methods – comparative jurisprudence, logical, technical and legal and others. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the fact that it is a comprehensive study of the features of international legal regulation of medical care using telemedicine technologies. The main conclusions of the conducted research are the unresolved nature of many legal issues in the regulation of relations for the provision of medical care using telemedicine technologies. In particular, the prescriptions of the CIS Model Law of 2010 "On Telemedicine Services" have not been consolidated in the norms of national legislation, the issues of telemedicine of the bilateral Agreement dated January 24, 2006 "On the procedure for providing medical care to citizens of the Russian Federation in healthcare institutions of the Republic of Belarus and citizens of the Republic of Belarus in healthcare institutions of the Russian Federation" and others have not been finally resolved. Among the most significant results is the conclusion about giving normative meanings to documents of the World Health Organization that do not have signs of normativity (research results, reports, strategies).

One of the current directions in the field of materials science is the study and modeling of processes occurring in capillary-porous bodies. These facilities play an important role in areas such as oil production, medicine, construction, production of filters and batteries, and the creation of new materials, where accurate understanding and control of processes occurring in porous media is required. Modern modeling methods using computer vision and high computing power of computers can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of studies of capillary-porous bodies and processes in them. For porous bodies of irregular structure, accurate visual fixation of processes occurring inside objects is difficult, but there is a need for this especially for multilevel processes that affect the state of a porous body. The proposed simulators and models of the structure of such objects using simplifications and abstract models to assess the interaction of substances (diffusion, percolation, etc.) are unsuitable in heterogeneous and irregular structures. To obtain a geometric model of arbitrary-shaped pores, it is proposed to use digital image processing methods. An array of points describing the geometry of the pore has been created. A method of surface modeling based on spline interpolation of selected points is was chosen. To obtain a surface model of an irregular-shaped pore, a technique has been developed for forming an array of points based on the brightness levels of pixels of its digital image. The brightness levels for grouping the initial pore points are determined based on the local maxima of the brightness histogram. An algorithm for constructing a surface model of an irregular-shaped pore using spline interpolation of point arrays has been developed. The result of the software implementation of the developed algorithm for modeling the surface of irregular pores is presented. According to the developed method of geometric modeling of irregular pores, it is possible to obtain further information for analysis on the size and volume of pores, porosity of the object as a whole, as well as to analyze processes in porous objects. If necessary, to increase the accuracy of the shape, the number of brightness levels for grouping points can be increased.

Published: January 2025

The study analyzes changes in the physico-chemical parameters in a 400 cm2 artificial water reservoir with distilled water, exposed to a 2-week (±2 days) period of atmospheric conditions in Krakow. After nearly 500 days, dry and wet deposition caused a shift from neutral to acidic pH levels (7.30–5.12, averaging 6.22 pH) and an average electric conductivity of 19.5 μS/cm (1.6–143.0 μS/cm). The study investigated chemical and biological pollutants, including pollen and fungal spores. Three distinct air quality periods were identified: (1) characterized by vehicle and combustion-related pollutants (Oct-Jan), (2) a transitional phase with increased biological particles (Feb-May), and (3) dominated by pollen and fungal spores (Jun-Sep). Despite peak air pollution in the warmest months, air temperature showed an inverse relationship with pollutant concentration, possibly due to decreased air humidity. Precipitation positively impacted air quality. The artificial reservoir received a total of 0.7 kg of air pollutants (723.6 mg/m2 of surface water table). This corresponds to an annual load of 0.5 kg (551.4 mg) and a daily load of 1.51 mg. The reservoir’s pollutant capture capacity was estimated at 28% ±21% (mean±SD), with a critical value of 12%. The study evaluated Krakow’s surface water reservoirs’ capacity to mitigate air pollution, indicating potential benefits for urban air quality.

AbstractThe Catalyst™ HD (C‐RAD Positioning AB, Uppsala, Sweden) is surface‐guided radiotherapy (SGRT) equipment that adopts a deformable model. The challenge in applying the SGRT system is accurately correcting the setup error using a deformable model when the body of the patient is deformed. This study evaluated the effect of breast deformation on the accuracy of the setup correction of the SGRT system. Physical breast phantoms were used to investigate the relationship between the mean deviation setup error obtained from the SGRT system and the breast deformation. Physical breast phantoms were used to simulate extension and shrinkage deformation (−30 to 30 mm) by changing breast pieces. Three‐dimensional (3D) Slicer software was used to evaluate the deformation. The maximum deformations in X, Y, and Z directions were obtained as the differences between the original and deformed breasts. We collected the mean deviation setup error from the SGRT system by replacing the original breast part with the deformed breast part. The mean absolute difference of lateral, longitudinal, vertical, pitch, roll, and yaw, between the rigid and deformable registrations was 2.4 ± 1.7 mm, 1.3 ± 1.2 mm, 6.4 ± 5.2 mm, 2.5° ± 2.5°, 2.2° ± 2.4°, and 1.0° ± 1.0°, respectively. Deformation in the Y direction had the best correlation with the mean deviation translation error (R = 0.949) and rotation error (R = 0.832). As the magnitude of breast deformation increased, both mean deviation setup errors increased, and there was greater error in translation than in rotation. Large deformation of the breast surface affects the setup correction. Deformation in the Y direction most affects translation and rotation errors.
