REVIEW OF THEORETICAL APPROACHES TO USING OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR PLANNING PROBLEMS IN ECONOMICS

Abstract:
Artificial intelligence methods and technologies are increasingly included in human's everyday life. Managing actors in the context of their activities, from the planning stage to the decision-making stage, are faced with the need to operate with big data, non-linear, exponentially growing, critically overloaded data scenarios. In these conditions, the need to introduce artificial intelligence technologies is due to the exhaustion of the intellectual and analytical capabilities of a person.
The article discusses a variety of methods and approaches of artificial intelligence, examines the content of key algorithms, models and theories, their strengths and weaknesses in such important areas of the economy as planning and decision-making. The focus is on their classification. Due to the dependence of the planning process on environmental factors, both classical and non-classical planning environments are discussed. If the environment is fully observable, deterministic and static (external changes are ignored) and discrete in terms of time and action, then we are dealing with a classical planning environment. In the case of a partially observable or stochastic environment, we get a non-classical planning environment. The simplest and most intuitive approach to the planning process algorithms is a Total Order Planning. A scheduling algorithm with parallel execution of actions or without specifying the sequence of their execution is a Partial Order Planning algorithm. Recent research into the development of efficient algorithms has sparked interest in one of the earliest planning approaches – Prepositional Logic Planning. With the Critical Path Method, a schedule of activities is drawn up as part of a plan with zero critical travel time margin for each activity, taking into account the calculation of the time margin for each activity and sequence of activities. A forward-looking planning method for solving complex problems is a hierarchical decomposition based on a Hierarchical Task Networks.
 The influence of time and resource factors on planning procedures is separately highlighted. Approaches and methods used in a non-classical planning environment: compatible planning, conditional planning, continuous planning, multi-agent planning.
Special attention is paid to the issues of constructing planning models in conditions of uncertainty based on the theoretical-probabilistic (stochastic) approaches. Bayesian networks are used to represent vagueness. The Relational Probability Model  includes certain constraints on the presentation means, thereby guaranteeing a fully defined probability distributions. The main tasks of probabilistic representation in temporal models are: filtering, forecasting, smoothing, determining a probabilistic explanation. By combining these algorithms and additional enhancements, three large blocks of temporal models can be obtained: Hidden Markov Models, Kalman Filter, and Dynamic Bayesian Network. Decision theory allows the agent to determine the sequence of actions to be performed. A simpler formal system for solving decision-making problems is decision-making networks. The use of expert systems containing information about utility creates additional opportunities. Sequential multiple decision problems in an uncertain environment, such as Markov Decision Processes, are defined using transition models. When several agents interact simultaneously, game theory is used to describe the rational behavior of agents.
As we can see, planning has recently become one of the most interesting and relevant directions in the field of artificial intelligence research. There is still a long way to go: it is necessary to develop a clear vision of the problem of choosing the appropriate specific methods depending on the type of task, perhaps by creating completely new methods and approaches.

Over-estimating the effects of teacher attributes on school performance in the Chilean education system

Abstract: This article investigates the biases involved in estimating the effects of teacher attributes on school’s performance. The study was performed for Chilean educational system, where student distribution is differentiated by schools and teachers are not randomly assigned to them. Findings showed that teacher attributes which favored learning appeared more frequently alongside higher socioeconomic status students. When correcting the bias, results showed that the effects of teacher attributes have been overestimated for the vast majority of characteristics. Nonetheless, attributes such as teaching experience, being a woman, having short-term specific professional training, and having a greater curriculum coverage continued to have positive impacts on the performance of 4th grade students.

Knowledge management as a means of developing a firm’s competitive advantage

Abstract: Knowledge management is one of the most popular themes of modern scientific literature. However, in spite of all the published research on the importance of knowledge management, there is little said about knowledge as a direct source of a firm’s competitive advantage. In the past decades, three main hypotheses on the sources of a firm’s competitive advantage were developed; namely, the industrial organization, the resource-based and the capability-based hypotheses. In this paper, we argue that the knowledge-based hypothesis can and should be considered as the fourth tantamount hypothesis on how the sources of the competitive advantage of a firm can be explained.

ВПЛИВ КРЕДИТОУТВОРЮЮЧИХ ЧИННИКІВ НА СТАН РОЗВИТКУ РЕАЛЬНОГО СЕКТОРА ЕКОНОМІКИ В УМОВАХ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЇ НЕСТАБІЛЬНОСТІ

Abstract: Проведено аналіз стану банківського кредитування реального сектору. Оцінено масштаби обсягів кредитів для фінансування суб’єктів реальної економіки. З метою визначення впливу банківського кредитування на стан реальної економіки встановлено залежність між обсягом кредитів, наданими банками в економіку країни, активами банківської галузі та основним макроекономічним показником – ВВП.  Проведено факторний аналіз впливу кредитоутворюючих чинників на стан розвитку реального сектора економіки в умовах економічної нестабільності. Визначено, що система кредитування реального сектору економіки в Україні потребує суттєвого переосмислення в напрямі орієнтації банківських установ на першочергове кредитування пріоритетних у національній економіці видів діяльності.

La percepción de seguridad en la demanda de transporte de la integración bicicleta-metro en Bogotá, Colombia

Abstract: Se plantea como hipótesis que la percepción de seguridad tiene un efecto significativo en la predicción de la demanda por la integración bicicleta-metro. Para demostrar dicha hipótesis, se calibraron dos modelos: un modelo logit mixto y un modelo integrado de elección y variable latente, cuya estimación se hizo en forma simultánea por máxima verosimilitud simulada. La estimación empleó datos de una muestra tomada en la localidad de Kennedy, que no solo es la más poblada de Bogotá sino que será el punto de partida de la primera línea del metro. La evidencia empírica respaldó la hipótesis planteada, encontrándose que el modelo mixto sobreestima la demanda, especialmente en los escenarios que no consideraron la provisión de carriles exclusivos para bicicleta. Se encontraron, además, diferencias significativas en la percepción de seguridad de la bicicleta para usuarios de motocicletas, taxis y servicio público, y en general para los individuos según el nivel de ingreso.


GREEN FINANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE:   A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE ACADEMIC LITERATURE (2001–2025)

Abstract:
This article analyses the evolution, structure, and dynamics of the academic literature on green finance in the
context of climate change, using a bibliometric approach applied to publications indexed in the Web of Science – Core
Collection for the period 2001–2025. The methodology is based on descriptive and relational bibliometric indicators,
including the analysis of scientific production, sources, authors’ impact, co-authorship networks, and keyword co
occurrence, complemented by thematic maps and temporal analyses of emerging themes, conducted using the
Bibliometrix package within the R environment. The results highlight an accelerated growth of academic interest after
2016, with a concentration of publications in economics and finance journals such as Energy Economics, Finance
Research Letters, and International Review of Financial Analysis, as well as a polycentric structure of international
collaborations dominated by East Asia and Europe. The conceptual analysis reveals three major thematic clusters: the
performance and impact of green investments, energy transition and sustainable economic growth, and systemic risks
and financial stability. The emergence of themes such as financial digitalisation, fintech, and artificial intelligence
indicates recent directions of research diversification. The article contributes by providing a systematic mapping of a
rapidly maturing field and by identifying epistemic gaps, highlighting the need to expand comparative studies,
interdisciplinary approaches, and analyses of green finance in emerging and transition economies.

The countercyclical effect of fiscal rules in Russia

Abstract: The instability of economic processes fuels the inconsistency of the revenue flow to the budget system. In order to overcome the cyclical nature of the budget process, which depends on cyclical fluctuations of economic conditions, fiscal rules are actively applied worldwide. The purpose of the study is to assess the countercyclical effect of the budget rules in force in Russia. The theory of economic cycles constitutes the methodological basis of the research. The paper employs structural, logical and comparative analysis, elaboration, scientific generalisation, and correlation analysis. The evidence is the data obtained from the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia for 2000–2023. The paper examines business cycles in Russia, as well as the cycles of revenues and expenditures of the consolidated budget, the cycles of formation and use of Russian sovereign wealth funds over the indicated period. The correlation analysis found that the revenues of the consolidated budget of Russia are procyclical with the correlation coefficient of the budget revenues and GDP growth rates equal to 0.8029. The procyclical nature of the budget expenditures has decreased due to the fiscal rules applied since 2004 with the correlation coefficient of the budget expenditures and GDP growth rates amounting to 0.5223. However, the procyclical nature of budget expenditures has not been overcome completely. Among them only the procyclical nature of healthcare expenditures has been reduced, while budget expenditures on education and housing and utilities keep on being significantly and to a greater extent dependent on the fluctuations of economic conditions. The paper proposes invoking the principle of fixed expenditures when applying budget rules, which assumes avoiding a decrease in budget expenditures compared to the previous year, calculated at comparable prices.


Five problems in legal maintenance of IT projects

Abstract: Objective: to assess the compliance of traditional approaches to IT projects legal maintenance with the modern methods of organizing the process of digital products development, to identify the existing problems in this area and suggest possible ways to resolve them. Methods: the research used the logical method and the method of analyzing judicial practice, the inductive method, the method of comparison, and the method of scientific abstraction. Results: digitalization facilitated the development of the services market for IT projects and their maintenance. Legal maintenance of such projects often faces a significant discrepancy between the positions of the customer and the contractor, especially when part of the project is accomplished. Based on the analysis of judicial practice of IT projects using the Agile methodology, the most significant and problematic legal aspects of implementation were identified, and conflict situations between customers and performers of IT projects were analyzed.Scientific novelty: five key problems of IT projects legal maintenance that use flexible management methods are identified. A universal model for implementing legal functions in Agile projects is proposed.Practical significance: the proposed scheme of legal maintenance of IT projects can be used to regulate the legal relationships of their participants and may help to reduce the conflict level and speed up the process of digital products development using the Agile methodology.

Development and Fit Assessment of Functional Garment for Traditional Birth Attendants in Lagos State

Abstract:
The study developed and assessed the fit of functional garments for traditional birth
attendants in Lagos State. Five research questions guided the study. The study adopted a mixed-
method research design that comprises a descriptive survey design and Research and Development
(R & D). The study population consisted of 728. This comprised 718 TBAs in Lagos State and 10
judges (2 midwives and 8 Home Economics Lecturers). The sample for this study comprised 250
participants, including all 10 judges and 240 TBAs. Three sampling techniques utilised were multi-
stage sampling, simple random sampling and purposive sampling. A validated questionnaire was
used for data collection. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means and standard
deviations. Findings revealed that the challenges in the clothes worn by TBAs while performing
their tasks included discomfort during tasks and restricted movement caused by the garments.
Findings on the reasons they need clothes with special features in child delivery tasks included
protection against infections, comfort while carrying out activities, and ease of movement during
tasks. TBAs indicated that the clothes currently worn while carrying out tasks were not appropriate
for their needs. The three designs of functional garments produced for the TBAs, based on the
desired criteria and preferences, included a short gown below the knee, an overall, and trousers
with a blouse. Findings on the appropriateness of various styles of the functional garment indicated
that they allowed for easy body movement and had an excellent fit. It was recommended that there
should be field testing of the developed functional garment to determine the protective properties
of the functional garments for TBAs.

EARNINGS QUALITY AND ASYMMETRIC COST BEHAVIOR: A STUDY OF INDONESIA CAPITAL MARKET

Abstract: This study investigates whether earnings quality affects to asymmetric cost behavior, i.e., sticky cost of listed firms of Jakarta Stock Exchange (JKSE). This study analyzes 1032 year-firms observations during 2012-2019 periods. This study investigates earnings quality on listed firms of JKSE during the period of IFRS adoption in 2012 and implementation of sustainability reporting voluntarily. This study finds that earnings quality influence to cost stickiness is supported. However, earnings quality negatively influences cost stickiness. The result of this study indicates that there is likely the effect of IFRS adoption in 2012 and implementation of sustainability reporting voluntarily since 2010 from listed firms on the JKSE on its earnings quality. This result is consistent with study of Banker, Basu, Byzalov, &Chen (2016). So higher earnings quality, lower cost stickiness. This study contributes theoretically to the literature on financial accounting, management accounting and cost management related to the topic of asymmetric cost behavior on earnings characteristics. This research also contributes practically to the ability of earnings quality in listed firms of the JKSE to reflect information on their financial performance related to the earnings quality by investors and financial analysts.

Фінансове забезпечення функціонування та розвитку вітчизняних суб’єктів підприємництва

Abstract: В умовах воєнної невизначеності та економічної дестабілізації особливої актуальності набувають питання ефективного фінансового забезпечення діяльності підприємств як ключового чинника їх стійкості та відновлення. Визначальним є пошук нових інструментів мобілізації фінансових ресурсів, що сприятимуть післявоєнному розвитку економіки України. Метою статті є поглиблення теоретичних засад і узагальнення практичних аспектів фінансового забезпечення функціонування та розвитку підприємств України з урахуванням впливу воєнних ризиків і нестабільності зовнішнього середовища. У роботі використано комплексний науковий підхід, що поєднує теоретичне узагальнення, системний, порівняльний, структурно-динамічний аналіз. Дослідження базується на статистичних даних за 2013–2024 рр., що дало змогу простежити трансформації у складі джерел фінансування підприємств та оцінити ефективність механізмів фінансового забезпечення. Теоретичне значення роботи полягає у систематизації наукових підходів до визначення сутності поняття «фінансове забезпечення підприємства» та запропоновано власне трактування даної категорії як інтегрованої системи організаційно-економічних, правових, фінансово-управлінських і контрольно-аналітичних механізмів. У ході дослідження здійснено оцінювання структури джерел фінансування підприємств України; виявлено домінування короткострокових зобов’язань і недостатність власних та довгострокових ресурсів. Охарактеризовано трансформацію механізму фінансового забезпечення в умовах війни; систематизовано джерела фінансування у довоєнний, воєнний і повоєнний періоди. Обґрунтовано стратегічні напрями підвищення ефективності фінансового забезпечення діяльності суб’єктів господарювання. Оригінальність дослідження визначається інтеграцією макро- і мікрорівневих аспектів фінансового забезпечення та розробленням адаптивного механізму, що враховує особливості воєнної економіки. Практична цінність полягає у можливості використання запропонованих рекомендацій при формуванні фінансових стратегій підприємств. Подальші дослідження доцільно зосередити на кількісному моделюванні впливу державних і міжнародних джерел фінансування на економічне відновлення підприємств.

The Effect of Capital Intensity, Audit Quality, Thin Capitalization, and Gender Diversity on Tax Aggressiveness

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effects of capital intensity, audit quality, thin capitalization, and gender diversity on tax aggressiveness in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2023. This research adopts a quantitative approach with an associative method, and the sample is selected using purposive sampling based on criteria such as SOEs listed on IDX, financial reports expressed in Indonesian Rupiah, and excluding the banking sector. The dependent variable is tax aggressiveness, measured using the Effective Tax Rate (ETR), while the independent variables are capital intensity, audit quality, thin capitalization, and gender diversity. Data analysis is performed using multiple linear regression and classical assumption tests to ensure the validity of the regression model. The findings indicate that capital intensity, audit quality, thin capitalization, and gender diversity significantly affect tax aggressiveness. This research has limitations, such as the restriction to SOEs and a three-year observation period. Future research is suggested to expand the scope by using the IDX-IC classification and extending the study period, as well as considering additional variables such as firm size and ownership structure.

Cost Optimisation of Supply Chains in the Food Industry: Cost Function Modelling

Abstract:
The food industry faces complex challenges in managing supply chains, significantly
affecting operational performance and costs. This paper explores the critical factors
influencing the efficiency of food supply chains, such as product perishability, seasonality,
climate change, and high logistics costs. The study uses an applied approach based on
modelling a cost function that integrates the main components of supply chain expenses —
procurement, transportation, warehousing, production and distribution — and how they are
affected by industry-specific challenges. The proposed cost function allows for assessing the
impact of these variables on total costs and identifying critical areas for optimisation. The
results obtained demonstrate that monitoring logistical conditions, adjusting stocks based on
seasonal forecasts and optimising transport routes are essential measures to reduce losses and
increase the competitiveness of companies in the food industry. The study's applied impact
consists of providing a practical cost optimisation tool applicable to manufacturers and
distributors. The conclusions emphasise the importance of an integrated approach to risk and
cost management in the food industry, providing recommendations for sustainable practices
and strategies to increase long-term competitiveness.

The Puzzle of Hyperinflation in Poland in 1989

Abstract:
Aim: The paper analyses the period of dynamically rising inflation in Poland in 1989. The author focused on the assessment of the changing socio-economic situation in the turbulent political environment after the conclusion of the Round Table negotiations in April 1989 and, in particular, on the regulatory and institutional causes of hyperinflation in October 1989.

Methodology: Historical, institutional and evolutionary methods were applied.

Results: It is argued that hyperinflation was intentionally created by both the communist government of Rakowski and the next (contract) government of Mazowiecki in 1989. Hyperinflation constituted the first phase of shock therapy, leading to the irreversible and painful socio-economic transformation according to the guidelines of neoliberal orthodoxy.

Implications and recommendations: Both the communist leaders and the Solidarity leadership were heavily influenced by free market ideology already in 1989. Hence, it was rather difficult to implement adequate corrections of the neoliberal principles in Poland. Similar studies of other post-communist countries are recommended.

Originality/value: The research focused on the origins of hyperinflation in 1989, while most studies dealt with the shock therapy implemented in January 1990.

Dinámica comercial externa empresarial de Argentina en el Gobierno de Cambiemos (2015-2019)

Abstract: El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar los f lujos del comercio exterior de las compañías más grandes de la Argentina durante el Gobierno de la alianza Cambiemos (2015-2019). Las transformaciones institucionales en este período tuvieron un claro enfoque ortodoxo y, entre otras cosas, acarrearon un proceso de desindustrialización y reprimarización del perfil de especialización y de inserción internacional. Por otra parte, debido a la gravitación que poseen las empresas líderes en el conjunto de la economía, el comportamiento de estas explicó en buena medida el derrotero del frente externo en el transcurso de esta experiencia neoliberal. Dicho poder económico mostró gran dinamismo en los flujos comerciales, ya sea gracias al aumento de las exportaciones mayormente asociadas a la explotación de recursos naturales o a su papel en el boomimportador de bienes que compitieron de lleno con la producción nacional. Finalmente resaltamos que la gestión de Cambiemos, realizó cambios relevantes en las reglas de juego del comercio exterior.

"An Airy Spirit": Developing Identity Through Music, Performance, and Perception

Abstract: How do audiences come to understand a character who appears to lack a discrete performed identity? This paper explores how, in performance, music and theories of magic and reader response interact to create the identity of the musical spirit, Ariel, from William Shakespeare’s (1564-1616) The Tempest (1611). To facilitate this exploration, I outline Ariel’s characterisation across six productions from the Renaissance, Restoration, and modern-day on two levels: textual (concerning how culturally-bound theories of magic and gender affect interpretations of the play’s script), and performed (concerning practical decisions such gender casting, voice type, and visual design). Across both the textual and performed levels, I emphasise the roles of socio-cultural contexts and resultant audience perceptions in informing Ariel’s identity in each production, ultimately proposing that while Ariel’s textual identity as a genderless spirit remains relatively stable from the Renaissance to the modern-day, each production of The Tempest creates a new performed identity for the character through dynamic interactions between culture, history, directors, performers, and audiences.

THE QUESTION OF THE MUSICAL MESSAGE. THE SEMANTIC CAPACITY OF THE EXPRESSIVE STRUCTURE

Abstract: Is it possible to communicate through music? Does the music communicate something in particular? Is music like the message in a bottle – the meaning wrapped in the envelope of a form? Who would be the recipient of the „musical message” in this case – one, many, all of humanity, as in the IV parts of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony? Or maybe just Captain Grant’s children? And how pertinent is the extrapolation of notional-discursive schema and logic to music as Mattheson did in Der Vollkommene Kapellmeister? Because this phrase – the message of music – immediately refers to both the „suggestive” neutrality of musical sounds and the „emotional” irrelevance of the relationships between them. Sounds are just sounds. Is a chord the analogy of the word, the melody the analogy of the phrase, and a whole articulation the substitute of a speech? Is music a language? Or, indeed, being both sonorous, but also processual and symbolic, just like spoken language, music does not connote in the same way. And if the language has prescribed references, then music does not. A chord, a melody, let alone a counterpoint, have no predetermined meaning, not even one resembling a notional one, even after the performance is over. Should the composer first be a very good connoisseur of human emotional behavior rather than a very good musician? Or, perhaps, a simple postman, as in the famous song of the Beatles?

A música francesa reconfigurada no jazz modal de Bill Evans

Abstract: Embora seja senso comum que a música francesa, especialmente a do século XX, tenha exercido influência no estilo improvisatório do pianista de jazz norte-americano Bill Evans (1929-1980), a importância deste papel é raramente abordada em estudos bem fundamentados. Estes dois pontos - música francesa e Evans - oferecem uma oportunidade para investigar suas diversas relações musicais, desde paralelos e interseções a ecletismos específicos, os quais podem assimilar, adaptar e individualizar uma dada fonte. Implícitos aí estão os "cruzamentos" e transformações de gênero, cultura, identidade nacional e linha do tempo, assim como as questões de influência; discute-se aqui a natureza e mutabilidade dos materiais musicais. Busco mostrar a riqueza e significado destas interações em dois estudos de caso: aspectos de Kind of blue (DAVIS, 1959) e Peace Piece (EVANS, 1958), em conexão com Chopin (enquanto francês adotado), Ravel e Messiaen. Por meio dos textos de RAVEL (1928) e outros, argumento que, particularmente com o repertório francês, Evans descobriu uma afinidade e catalisador para suas prioridades de improvisação: lirismo, linhas polifônicas, uma rica paleta de 7as e 9as, texturas requintadas, voicings e timbres - um veículo para sua expressividade e imaginação. Da mesma forma, é intrigante observar como uma música francesa relativamente velha tenha sobrevivido e se reconfigurado - como um camaleão - dentro de um novo contexto do pós-guerra.

‘Used as propaganda’: the Beatles’ Greek island plans and international politics

Abstract: In July 1967 the Beatles were making plans to buy a Greek island, and visited the country with this aim in mind. At the time, negative international opinion regarding the military dictatorship that had recently come to power in Greece was contributing to a decline in the country’s tourism sector. Several credible accounts suggest that the Beatles’ visit was used to generate publicity in the hope of encouraging tourism to Greece. But if so, the details of how such an initiative might have come about have remained unclear. In this article I examine the evidence for the group’s activity in Greece, as well as relevant actions from other individuals and the wider historical context. Doing so highlights a range of political connections and dimensions to the events that offer a new perspective on the Beatles and may help us better understand the interactions between politics, celebrity and culture at the time.

From Bows to Sound-Chests: Tracing the Ancestry of the Violin

Abstract: The ancestry of the violin is a subject that has been studied, researched, debated, and written about in great detail. However, despite all of the research and study, the ancestry of the violin is still not certain. This paper presents two schools of thought that propose different theories as to how the ancestry of the violin should be determined and what instruments should be included in the ancestry of the violin. The first school of thought proposes that the violin’s ancestry should be traced through the bow. The second theory proposes that the violin’s ancestry should be traced through the sound-chest of the violin. This paper also presents the different arguments for and against each theory, the importance of this topic, and the paper’s position on this topic. Research for this paper was accomplished through the use of scholarly books on the subject of the history of the violin.


Abstract:
    This article presents a discussion about Xiangtong Xi (香童戏), a traditional musical theatrical form associated with the Baoshan area of China’s Yunnan province. Xiangtong Xi drama originated from the folk religious and mystical rites of the southwestern regions of China. It organically combines elements such as singing, recitation, acting and martial arts techniques that are characteristic of the musical culture of the region. This genre has its own cult music and traditional performance style. At the same time, supporting and preserving the traditions of their art, Xiangtong Xi artists throughout the history of its existence have developed and continue to develop Xiangtong Xi music by studying the singing melodies and musical styles of other cultures, musical genres and movements and introducing their elements into their performances. The basis for such borrowings is primarily local folk music and songs, as well as other traditional musical genres of the region.
Keywords: Xiangtong Xi, musical drama, ritual music, religious music, Prince’s Chant, Even Chant, Universal Chant, Chant of the Black God, plague god’s chant, percussion instruments

Interpretive Restoration: Othmar Schoeck’s Das Schloß Dürande in a New Edition

Abstract: The article highlights a high-profile project by the Bern Academy of Arts to bring back into musical life one of the key works in the history of 20th-century Swiss music — Othmar Schoeck’s opera Das Schloß Dürande (1941). For many decades, despite its manifest musical merits, the performance of this composition seemed absolutely impossible due to the political overtones with which it is associated. Various “interpretive restoration” strategies were aimed at creating a new version of the opera. In the first place, the libretto, which was created by the Nazi writer Hermann Burte and based on the novella of the same name by the 19th-century German romantic author Joseph Eichendorff, underwent significant revision. The rather low literary level of the original libretto, which employed a large number of ideological clichés ad slogans, required the replacement of more than half of the text, essentially involving its rewriting based on the appropriate verse texts written by Eichendorff. The changes also affected the vocal part. In addition, a careful study of historical documents made it possible to clarify the circumstances of the opera’s premiere, which took place in Nazi Berlin in 1943. After a mere four performances, the opera was removed at the request of the Third Reich ideologist, Hermann Göring. New biographical information has also more fully revealed the position of Schoeck, who was not a supporter of National Socialism. Considering that “being Swiss” meant adopting a scrupulous attitude of “neutrality”, the composer collaborated with the Nazis for career reasons. The result of many years of work on the project was the performance of the updated opera Daß Schloß Dürande at the Meiningen Theatre in 2019. It didn’t convince everyone. However, the determining factor in assessing the opera was not so much the quality of the music and libretto, but rather the problematic history of its creation and reception in an ideological context. Thus, even in its new “denazified” version, Das Schloß Dürande remains closely connected with the past.

Симфонія № 7 «Майдан» О. Яковчука: параметри художньої цілісності

Abstract:
Актуальність. Притаманна сучасному етапу історії музики модифікація парадигми жанру симфонії зумовила вивчення її нових інваріантів в аспекті досягнення художньої цілісності. Вагомий симфонічний доробок О. Яковчука, що представляє цілий спектр різноманітних рішень ідеї симфонізму, є перспективною темою для такого дослідження.
Мета дослідження — висвітлити параметри художньої цілісності Симфонії № 7 «Майдан» (2015) О. Яковчука в контексті інноваційного підходу митця до жанру симфонії, зокрема акцентування монологічності як суттєвого засобу оновлення жанру.
Методологія. Дослідження основане на застосуванні культурологічного підходу, джерелознавчого, текстологічного методів, а також методів цілісного аналізу та інтерв’ювання.
Результати. Дослідження засвідчило тенденцію до концентрації авторського вислову, що відбилася в одночастинності твору. Значну роль у становленні цілісності відіграє детально продуманий тематизм на основі інтонаційних зв’язків. Роздуми автора про особистість у революції окреслили увагу до монологічного чинника у вигляді численних соло. Трагедійний задум спричинив впровадження хоралу мідних духових, авторського стильового прийому.
Новизна. У статті вперше проаналізовано і надано оцінку художнім якостям симфонії № 7 «Майдан» О. Яковчука зважаючи на належність її до неканонічного типу жанру.
Практичне значення. Матеріали і висновки дослідження можна використовувати в процесі викладання курсів історії сучасної української музики, аналізу музичних форм, у класі симфонічного диригування, а також у наступних розвідках щодо шляхів розвитку жанру симфонії.

Practice, Performance, and Anxiety: A Pilot Study on Student Perception of Parental Involvement and Formal Music Lessons

Abstract: Parents play a variety of important roles in their children's musical development. However, whether they impact upon children's music performance education and experience has only begun to be considered. The current study sought to examine whether student perception of parent involvement in music and performance education is related to their experience of music performance anxiety. Sixty-two piano students aged 11 to 17 completed a questionnaire regarding their piano studies, their parents’ involvement in them, and their parents’ prior music education. They also completed measures of performance anxiety and self-esteem. Results indicated that parents’ prior music education was significantly associated with performance anxiety in their children. Participant age, self-esteem, and practice time were also significant variables. Measures of parent involvement in music studies and parent response to weak performances were not found to be significantly related to performance anxiety scores. Implications of these findings and directions for furthering this line of research are discussed.

Mielczewski czy Leszczyński, czyli kto skomponował „Missa cum Credo per octavas”

Abstract: Władysławowi Leszczyńskiemu (1616–80), kapelmistrzowi zespołu jasnogórskiego, przypisywano dotychczas dwie zachowane w Archiwum Krakowskiej Kapituły Katedralnej msze: Missa per octavas i Missa cum Credo per octavas. Jak wykazano w niniejszym artykule, drugi z utworów w rzeczywistości nie jest jego dziełem, a zmienioną wersją Missae pro Nativitate Domini Nostri Jesu Christi zachowanej również w zbiorach wawelskich, sygnowanej inicjałami „M.M.” i przypisywanej Marcinowi Mielczewskiemu. Wskazano ponadto kolejny, nieznany wcześniej przekaz tej mszy i poddano refleksji kwestię jej atrybucji.

DJ Goa Gil: Kalifornian Exile, Dark Yogi and Dreaded Anomaly

Abstract: Connecting three generations of music enthusiasts, Goa Gil is an imposing figure in the world of psychedelic trance. If the title of his 2007 compilation registers intent, he is a Worldbridger. Bristling with motifs of world sacred sites and appropriated "tribal" icons, with Gil seated cross-legged upon the apex of a Mayan temple, the album's cover artwork confabulates the physical, spiritual and cultural worlds he professes to bridge. Leading world-wide "trance dance rituals" Goa Gil operates under the guise of a "techno-shaman", a "cyber-baba" and a selector/mixer of traditions whose rituals are reputedly timeless and universal. But this intent is performed amid a highly mobile lifestyle spread across diverse psychedelic music cultures, scenes and sensibilities in discrete times and places. From the 1960s Haight-Ashbury psychedelic rock scene, to the psychedelic jam band scene on Anjuna beach, Goa, India, in the 1970s, to the adoption of electronic music in a DJ-led scene in the 1980s, to the birth of "Goa trance" in the 1990s, to his selection, production and performance of dark psychedelic trance in the 1990s/2000s onwards, DJ Goa Gil's life spans a breathtaking panorama of this-worldly psychedelic scenes. Gil is a freak bricoleur, an anomalous figure who evades modest circumscription. A Californian exile and sanctioned Shaivite practitioner with a professional hankering for darkpsy (as a DJ-producer), a hippie broker of the "Cosmic Spirit" and a post-apocalyptic punk, he is a spiritual authority and cultural outlaw touring the planet with an improbable mix of semiotic and sonic baggage. What's more, celebrated as a champion of the "Goa vibe" or derogated as an accomplice to its demise, Gil is a controversial figure who is the embodiment of considerable ambivalence. This article explores this holiest of anomalies in the world of DJing.

Formulari processionali per il canto del vangelo Liber generationis

Abstract: The singing of the Genealogy of Christ (Matt. 1,1–16) just after the end of Christmas first mass (missa in nocte) is sometimes associated with a processional chant (Hodie intacta, O mundi domina, and others). Tables in this article compare some melodies of both gospels (I-Pc E 1, 1170; F-Pn n.a. lat. 1535, GB-WO F.160, thirteenth c.; Missale Strigoniense, ante 1341; transcriptions by Joseph Pothier), and chants (HR-Zmk MR 72, thirteenth c.; A-KN 1010, A-KN 1013, F-Pn lat. 12044: twelfth c.; A-Gu 29, CH-E 611: fourteenth c.; SI-Lna 18, 1491), with references to their liturgical contexts.


«Seg selv til det siste»: Om Harald Sæveruds Keiser og Galilæer

Abstract: Harald Sæverud (1897–1992) var hele sitt liv en omdiskutert komponist, men ikke desto mindre en av Norges fremste. I denne artikkelen belyses hans siste store verk, nemlig Keiser og Galilæer (1986) for orkester og kor. Ettersom det bygger på Ibsens skuespill av samme navn, kastes det dessuten lys over musikkens rolle i Ibsens dramatikk. I motsetning til Ibsens mer populære skuespill er Kejser og Galilæer et anliggende for spesielt interesserte. Den som ikke har et visst kjennskap til stykket, forstår lite av Sæveruds musikk. Artikkelen inkluderer derfor en gjennomgang av handlingsforløpet med fokus på tekstens musikalske muligheter. I artikkelen blir det vist hvordan skuespillets bærende idé, kampen mellom kristendom og hedendom, uttrykkes gjennom klare musikalske kontraster. Det antydes videre hvordan Keiser og Galilæer avspeiler ulike sider ved Sæveruds eiendommelige, kunstneriske personlighet, og at verket av denne grunn kan betraktes som kronen på komponistens livsverk.

تكامل وسائل التشكيل الحديثة مع التصميم المعماري والداخلي

Abstract: من القضايا التصميمية التي تلقي اهتماماً متزايداً في هذه الفترة، هو تأثير العامل التكنولوجي في توجيه ملامح الطابع التصميمي والوسائل التشكيلية الحديثة ، وصبغة بصبغة الحاضر وبكيفية تمليها شروط هذه التكنولوجيا وهذا التقدم على الملامح الأساسية للتصميم وللموروث ، مما يؤثر بالسلب أحيانا وينحي بالعملية التصميمية في كثير من الأحيان عن آفاق الفكر الإبداعي للطابع التصميمي.    لقد  شهدت السنوات الأخيرة تحولاً هائلاً في مفهوم العمارة والتصميم الداخلي ووسائل التشكيل والوسائط المستخدمة فيها ، حيث أن العملية التصميمية التي كانت تبدو حتى وقت قريب غير متأثرة باقتحام الوسائط الإلكترونية ، تظهر الآن مستعدة لإعادة تعريف منهجيتها لتندمج  وتتحد مع الكمبيوتر ، فلقد أثرت الثورة الرقمية تأثيراً كبيراً  على  فلسفة العمارة الداخلية في العقدين الأخيرين كما غيرت طبيعة التفكير و الإبداع التصميمي ، حيث استطاعت أن تفجر العلاقة بين وسائل التشكيل والمعلومات، وبين الحقيقة و الافتراض ، و في ظل كل هذا الانفتاح المعلوماتي يحاول الإنسان أن يجد لنفسه فراغاً جديداً يتناسب مع ما هو مقدم عليه من حياة أقرب للخيال منها للواقع.ويتمتع عالم عصر المعلومات بوجود بنية أساسية معلوماتية عالمية من خلال شبكة اتصالات ضخمة، والمعروفة بالإنترنت التي تمثل النمط العمراني والفراغي الجديد (الجويلي ص1) الذي أضحى يسود العالم ويتكون من مدن افتراضية.    والفكرة التصميمة رؤية واضحة المعالم لدى المصمم قابلة للتطوير مع وسائله التشكيلية وعناصره التصميمية بحيث تفي بالاحتياجات الإنسانية الناتجة عن تزايدها باستمرار، وإيجاد حلول تتفق مع كل ما هو جديد في عالم التكنولوجيا المتقدمة.

ҐЕНДЕРНІ ВІДМІННОСТІ У НАВЧАННІ АКАДЕМІЧНОМУ ВОКАЛУ:  ПЕДАГОГІЧНИЙ ПІДХІД ВИКЛАДАЧІВ ХДАК

Abstract: У статті представлено комплексну характеристику ґендерних відмінностей у процесі навчання академічного вокалу, які розглядаються як суттєвий чинник формування індивідуалізованої педагогічної стратегії. На основі узагальнення власного практичного досвіду викладачами-вокалістами кафедри хорового диригування та академічного співу Харківської державної академії культури здійснено ґрунтовний аналіз анатомо-фізіологічних і психофізіологічних особливостей чоловічого й жіночого голосового апарату, що безпосередньо впливають на характер звукоутворення, розвиток регістрової структури, дихальну координацію та специфіку резонансної підтримки звуку. Авторами окреслено специфіку методичної роботи з представниками різної статі: зокрема, для жіночих голосів важливим є формування стійкої опори в нижньому регістрі, вирівнювання регістрових переходів, розвиток гнучкості звуковедення; для чоловічих – подолання напруги у верхньому регістрі, формування м’якої атаки звуку та стабілізація позиції в перехідній зоні. Практика педагогів кафедри ХДАК підтверджує ефективність індивідуального підходу з урахуванням не лише морфологічних, а й емоційно-поведінкових параметрів кожного студента / студентки.Фахівцями проаналізовано відмінності у психоакустичному сприйнятті власного голосу студентами різної статі, що суттєво впливає на динаміку розвитку інтонаційної точності, тембрової стабільності та сценічної впевненості. У педагогічному процесі викладачами активно використовуються методичні прийоми, апробовані в Харківській державній академії культури, зокрема варіативне застосування вокалізів, робота над змішаними регістрами, поетапне ускладнення репертуару залежно від темпів психофізіологічної адаптації студента.У статті бґрунтовано важливість добору навчального матеріалу не лише за параметрами голосового типу (тенор, сопрано тощо), а й відповідно до емоційної чутливості, рівня сценічної готовності та індивідуального потенціалу самовираження.У підсумку наголошено на центральній ролі гнучкої, ґендерно-орієнтованої педагогічної моделі, яка реалізується викладачами кафедри хорового диригування та академічного співу ХДАК, і базується на глибокому розумінні взаємозв’язку фізіологічних, психофізіологічних та психологічних чинників вокального розвитку. Визначено перспективи подальших досліджень у напрямі ґендерно-орієнтованої вокальної педагогіки, зокрема в контексті професійної підготовки академічних співаків у мистецьких освітніх закладах.

MUSIC EDUCATION: A PANACEA FOR THE HANDICAPPED CHILDREN

Abstract:
Music is universally important to every human being. It relates to, and is part and parcel of
children’s education where creative experiences and manipulative skills are gained and
developed. Every child responds to the rhythm and the activities of man are often connected with
music. Through musical activities, children acquire the basic skills, attitudes, values, norms,
customs, and knowledge and tend to appreciate of their culture. Like every other human being,
the handicapped children too, possess aptitudes, skills, concepts and knowledge that if
appropriately utilized will help to solve many of the physical, social, educational, political and
economic problems in the society. The handicapped children can learn how to sing, dance, play
musical instruments and perform other musical skills in order to demonstrate their capabilities
and relevance in the society. This paper therefore, examines the basic educational needs and
musical activities of the handicapped children and sees how best music education can effectively
be used to enhance livelihood of this vulnerable group.


التناذرات المرضية للمبانى السكنية وعلاقتها بالتفاعلات الصحية التحسسية الأسباب والحلول من خلال تصميم العمارة الداخلية

Abstract:
يعاني العالم المتحضر الآن من انتشار أمراض التحسس(*)، فخلال الأربعين عام الماضية ظهر على الإنسان حالات متكررة من التحسس(**) تجاه مكونات البيئة المحيطة به، ويعاني الآن واحد من كل ثلاثة في العالم المتقدم من أحد أشكال التحسس([1])، وفي الوقت الذي يجتهد فيه الطب والأطباء للوصول إلى تشخيص تلك الحالات وأسبابها ثم إكتشاف الدواء المناسب لها، كان المصممون والعاملون في صناعة البناء يعملون جاهدين لخلق بيئة داخلية جميلة ومعمره سواء داخل المباني، ونتج عن ذلك تصنيع العديد من أجهزة التحكم البيئي ومواد البناء ومواد النهو والتشطيب المصنعة لتكون أعلى جودة وأطول عمرا وسهله التشكيل والتركيب، وفي نفس الوقت أقل تكلفه. وقد نجحت صناعة البناء في ذلك بالفعل، وكلما أزداد ذلك النجاح وزاد تحكم الإنسان في بيئته الداخلية أرتفعت معدلات التحسس.

(*)التفاعل التحسسي : Allergic Reaction، هو رد فعل تحسسي من الجسم على مسبب معين، ويحدث نتيجة تفاعلات غير مألوفة من الجهاز المناعي اتجاه مواد غريبة أو مسببة للحساسية تعرض لها الجسم من خلال الجلد أو الأنف أو العينين أو الجهاز التنفسي أو الجهاز الهضمي أو عن طريق البلع أو الحقن. ويعتبر رد الغعل التحسسي أو التفاعل الأرجي وسيلة الجسم للرد على الأجسام الغريبة، فعند تعرض الجسم لمادة معينة لأول مرة فقد تسبب تفعيل الجهاز المناعي وترفع من حساسيته ليتفاعل ضدها بشدة، وينتج من تفاعل الجهاز المناعي مع المواد المسببة للحساسية مادة تسمى الهيستامين، وهي مادة كيميائية تسبب أعراض الحساسية، مثل الالتهاب، والعطس، والطفح الجلدي، والحكة.
(**)تبدأ الحساسية عندما يدرك الجهاز المناعي للإنسان خطأً مادة غير مؤذية في العادة على أنها أجسام غازية خطيرة. وينتج بعدها الجهاز المناعي أجسامًا مضادة تبقى في حالة تأهب تجاه هذه المادة المثيرة للحساسية. عندما تتعرض للمادة المثيرة للحساسية مرة أخرى، يمكن أن تطلق هذه الأجسام المضادة عددًا من المواد الكيميائية التي يفرزها الجهاز المناعي، مثل الهيستامين الذي يسبب أعراض الحساسية.

La romería en el templo y otras licencias del canto gregoriano en el siglo XX

Abstract: El objetivo del presente artículo es el de presentar algunas prácticas singulares de la música litúrgica, habituales en España durante los primeros dos tercios del siglo XX, es decir, entre el motu proprio sobre la música sagrada del papa Pío X y los cambios litúrgicos derivados del Concilio vaticano II. Estas licencias tienen lugar básicamente coincidiendo con dos tipos de situaciones contrapuestas: por un lado cuando triunfa la alegría de determinadas fiestas (el Corpus, las celebraciones patronales, por ejemplo) y, por otro, en los ritos funerarios. Una tradición de ámbito geográfico limitado, la Misa de gaita , y otra de ámbito del todo general, el gorigori , son las dos realidades que muestran la pervivencia de hibridaciones y prácticas del canto gregoriano particularmente chocantes en el marco de las severas directrices propias de la música sagrada en este período.

القيم البنائية للفراغ فى العمل الفنى

Abstract: تقوم مشكلة البحث علي مناقشة مدي أهمية الفراغ كقيمة تشكيلية و كأحد عناصر بناء العمل الفني والتي تكتسب نفس أهمية الأشكال بحيث يتكامل مع المشغول ويؤثر في بنائية الأشكال ويربط عناصر التكوين وعلاقاتها مع بعضها البعض، فالفراغ عنصر أساسي في بناء العمل الفني,  كما يتعرض  البحث لمفهوم الفراغ حيث أن أهمية الفراغ تكمن أنه يشكل الوسط الذي تحدث فيه حركة الأجسام، فأي جسم يدرك لابد وأن يشغل حيزا فراغيا, ومفهوم الفراغ التشكيلي هو الإنطباع الناشئ عن المعالجات الفنية التي يتبعها الفنان لتحقيق وتأكيد القيم البنائية داخل العمل الفنى سواء كان ذلك متضمنا على عمق فراغى أو تعمد الفنان إحداث حالة من تسطيح الصورة,  ثم يتم التطرق إلى دور الفراغ في بناء العمل الفني فهو عنصر أساسي من عناصر بناء التصميم بما يمكن أن يثيره من قيم وعلاقات بنائية وجمالية في العمل الفني، كما أنه وسيلة لتحديد الأبعاد الفراغية

Timbre and the "Zone of Entanglement" in Electronic Dance Music

Abstract: This article weaves together relational tendencies in recent scholarship spanning philosophy, mycology, psychopharmacology and timbre studies in order to argue that timbre’s unbounded ontology and cyclical re-use across electronic dance music (EDM) history affords listeners experiential access into radically distributed modes of being. Taking its cue from the biological structure of fungal mycelium, from whose flowers the psychoactive compounds of many psychedelic drugs are derived, this study builds on established models of EDM’s affectivity to propose that timbre in EDM manifests a psychedelic and specifically social form of consciousness. Highlighting the potential for entrainment that EDM’s synthesised timbres make possible, a conception of timbre as a mycelial “zone of entanglement” is put forward, in which the material and cultural, individual and social and spiritual and fleshly dimensions of the listening experience are folded into a reverberant unity, in turn encouraging a negotiation of the ethics that this entanglement entails.


إعادة تأهيل المبانى التراثية وفقاً للإصول المعمارية الكويتية

Abstract:
يتميز الفن المعماري الكويتي بالبساطة والمباشرة حيث لا يشوبه أي تلفيق أو سطحية. كامل في هندسته المجرّدة كمال تمثال عظيم. وكما يجب أن تكون عليه الحياة فليس فيه أي افتعال أو ادّعاء.
إن الطابع الأوضح للعمارة في الكويت منذ بدايات هذا القرن وحتى مطلع الخمسينيات, يتمثّل أساساً في بساطة وعملية تصاميمها, والبساطة هنا لا تعني السطحية. إضافة إلى استلهامها للقيم العربية والتراث المحلي من جهة, وضرورات وطبيعة الحياة التي كان المجتمع الكويتي يعيشها وقتذاك من جهة ثانية, البحر كان مصدر الرزق الأكبر والأهم لأهالي الكويت, إلى جانب اشتغالهم بالتجارة مع قوافل البدو الرحل, كون الكويت وبحكم موقعها الجغرافي, كانت تعتبر واحدة من أهم محطات مرور قوافل التجارة في شبه الجزيرة العربية.

أثر الرسوم المتحركة المصرية على تنمية التذوق الفني لدى عينة من طلاب التربية الفنية

Abstract: كانت مصر من أوائل الدول فى العالم تدخلها السينما، وبدأت محاولاتها لخوض المنافسة فى مجال الرسوم المتحركة منذ عام 1936 وبعد هذا التاريخ مرت الرسوم المتحركة المصرية بالعديد من التطورات والإسهامات الفنية في هذا المجال ومحاولات عدة للوصول بها الي اعلي درجات الإتقان بالإضافة الي استخدامات الرسوم المتحركة التي لها العديد من الإسهامات في تشكيل الوعي وبث الحس الفني والثقافي والتعليمي بالإضافة الي دورها في تشكيل الذوق الفني للجمهور بشكل عام وطلاب التربية الفنية بشكل خاص مما استلزم القيام بالبحث.Egypt was one of the first countries in the world to enter the world of cinema, and it began its attempts to compete in the field of animation since 1936. After that date, Egyptian animation went through many developments and artistic contributions in this field, as well as several attempts to bring it to the highest levels of mastery. In addition, the use of animation has many contributions in shaping awareness, promoting artistic, cultural, and educational senses, as well as shaping the artistic taste of the public in general and students of art education in particular, which necessitated further research.

The Irony and the Ecstasy

Abstract: The English duo Pet Shop Boys and American group LCD Soundsystem are notable for their representation as artists who entered and succeeded in the predominately youthful market of popular music and the hedonistic aesthetic of electronic dance music (EDM) at ages considered old for the industry: 32 for vocalists/lyricists Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys) and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem). Neither of these bands makes straightforward EDM—Pet Shop Boys fall under pop and LCD Soundsystem can be considered post-punk—but both are influenced by the New York City dance scene of the late 70s and early 80s, and are characterized as ironic. I argue that Pet Shop Boys and LCD Soundsystem are ironic because of their belated, knowing position in a genre that privileges the infinite present and unproductive reproduction through repetition. In light of Lee Edelman’s claim that irony is the queerest of rhetorical devices, the ambivalence of Pet Shop Boys’ and LCD Soundsystem’s ostensible lack of youth and the youthful temporality of their EDM aesthetic place them in a queer tension between notions of immediate authenticity and the distance of age.

The teaching of music history in Japanese music education

Abstract: One of the leading institutions in the field of musicology in Japan is the one hosted by “Tokyo University of the Arts” (previously Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music). The musicology course, started in 1949, was, and still is, the main promoter of music history teaching in the Japanese university system. A reflection on the over 60 years of its existence, which has been characterized by the fortunate coexistence of musicology students and students of ‘practical’ musical courses, might contribute to raise awareness among European musicologists about the pedagogic-didactic task that is expected of them in the current situation of Western musical culture.

TOURIST SATISFACTION DURING THE PANDEMIC: AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF MEASURES TO PREVENT COVID-19 IN A MEDITERRANEAN COASTAL DESTINATION

Abstract: The impact of the COVID-19 on tourist satisfaction is a particular relevant issue, due to the role that elements such as the prevention measures implemented at the destination might play. For this reason, this article examines tourist satisfaction during the peak tourist season of 2020 in a mature coastal destination in Catalonia in relation to safety and prevention measures imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We use explanatory factor analysis and partial least squares path modelling for comparing the determinants of tourist satisfaction prior and during the pandemic based on surveys conducted in 2019 (N = 1556) and 2020 (N = 2220). The results suggest that the determinants of overall tourist satisfaction in 2019 remained significant in 2020. Moreover, although tourists especially appreciated feeling safe in 2020, our results suggest that such a perception was unrelated to measures to prevent COVID-19. The paper raises concerns towards the management of situations such as the pandemic in tourist destinations, as a proper balance must be found between the need of making visitors feel safe, and avoiding measures that can be felt as invasive or annoying, hampering the tourist experience.

POSTSOCIALIST TRANSFORMATION OF CITIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA - A CASE STUDY OF NOVI SAD AND PETROVARADIN

Abstract:
Novi Sad and Petrovaradin, as two inseparable entities, have undergone large urban changes in the latest decades. Huge
transformations in morphological features and spatial structure of Novi Sad occurred in the period from the breakup of Yugoslavia to the end of the second decade of the 21st century. The transformation of Petrovaradin followed at a slower
pace at first but later on it intensified. The paper data rely on General Urban Plans of Novi Sad from the years 1985, 2000 and 2006. The comparative method, field research and analysis were applied to identify the parts of the city which underwent the largest transformation processes. Certain changes in the structure of street networks, changes in the inner physiognomy of the settlement, as well as disruption of architectural balance have been recognized. The direction of urban transformations has been identified by the analysis of social changes. Also, the present and potential problems were pointed out including the
improvements which the inhabitants gained due to urban transformations of Novi Sad and Petrovaradin. It has been
estimated that urban transformation in Novi Sad led to disruption of architectural style in certain parts of the city by
erecting modern buildings which do not integrate into the setting of architecture from earlier periods neither with their exterior nor with the materials used. Contemporary building structures occupy larger areas of municipal building land, the number of apartments per unit area increases, the need for parking spaces also increases and green areas are reduced in the city.

Impacts of Sugarcane Vinasses on the Structure and Composition of Bacterial Communities in Brazilian Tropical Oxisols

Abstract: This study explored how different sugarcane vinasses influence the structure and composition of soil bacterial communities in two tropical Oxisols with contrasting textures. In a controlled microcosm experiment with sugarcane seedlings, two concentrations of three vinasse types were applied, and bacterial communities were monitored over 10, 30, and 60 days using T-RFLP and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Across all treatments, vinasse application led to clear changes in bacterial community structure in both soils, regardless of the time point. Certain bacterial groups, such as Sphingobacteriia, Alphaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria, became more abundant—likely responding to increased carbon availability, higher pH, and greater soil moisture. At the same time, other groups declined, possibly due to excess nutrients like potassium and sulfur. Notably, these shifts occurred even when standard biochemical indicators suggested no major impact, highlighting the sensitivity of microbial community-level responses. These findings point to the importance of looking beyond traditional soil quality metrics when assessing the environmental effects of organic residue applications. Incorporating microbial indicators can offer a more nuanced understanding of how practices like vinasse reuse affect soil functioning in tropical agroecosystems.

A study of the decontamination procedures used for chemical analysis of polar deep ice cores

Abstract: We investigated the decontamination procedures used on polar deep ice cores before chemical analyses such as measurements of the concentrations of iron species and dust (microparticles). We optimized cutting and melting protocols for decontamination using chemically ultraclean polyethylene bags and simulated ice samples made from ultrapure water. For dust and ion species including acetate, which represented a high level of contamination, we were able to decrease contamination to below several μg l^<-1> for ion concentrations and below 10000 particles ml^<-1> for the dust concentration. These concentration levels of ion species and dust are assumed to be present in the Dome Fuji ice core during interglacial periods. Decontamination of the ice core was achieved by cutting away approximately 3 mm of the outside of a sample and by melting away approximately 30% of a sample's weight. Furthermore, we also report the preparation protocols for chemical analyses of the 2nd Dome Fuji ice core, including measurements of ion and dust concentrations, pH, electric conductivity (EC), and stable isotope ratios of water (δD and δ<18>O), based on the results of the investigation of the decontamination procedures.

THE CARPATHIAN-DANUBIAN-PONTIC SPACE – THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF THE BIRTH OF THE ROMANIAN CHRISTIANITY

Abstract: The activities undertaken by Constantine the Great in the Danube, but particularly in the north of them, will contribute not only to return the territory part of borders in Dacia Traian Empire, but also to strengthen of the Romanity and the large spread of Christianity.This activity is resulting in a first phase, between 324 -328 years, in building a bridge over the Danube between Oescus and Sucidava, having intended to law Empire of the Carpathian-Danubian both because of the threat got that threaten northern borders, but especially to facilitate links between South-eastern Romanity and the Northern Danube. The bridge was inaugurated in the year 328 and is also known as the historical-literary sources and from observations on the ground.Between 364-378, witnessing a weakening of the Roman rule in the Roman Oltenia, deducted from the monetary crisis in this period and attributed to the Gothic attacks in the south of the Danube and the riot of the usurper Procopius against Emperor Valens (364 - 378). A similar situation characterizes the period and 378 - 383, while also observed a monetary crisis, caused by the Germanic and Hun collisions.Much more conclusive by the words attributed to the Emperor Iulian the Apostate (361 - 363) of Constantine the Great (306 - 337), which would have said: "the facts are perpetrated against the usurpers above Traian only, and are undoubtedly match His resume of the lands through which it acquired earlier ..'', the text is abundantly clear that what seems unsure if Constantine Chlorus, is undeniable on his son Constantine the Great.A return to the Roman-Byzantine rule at the North of the Danube will take place in the true sense of the word, with bullish on the throne of Emperor Justinian. Between 530 and 533, it will send at the Lower Danube the General Chilbudios, which, after many expeditions against Slavs will conquest again some strategic points of Oltenia and Muntenia.An important role in spreading Christianity and the north of the Danube must be played many bishops established in the IV century in close proximity to the Danube, which include: Aqua, Bononia, Ratiaria, Oescus in Dacia Ripensis, Naisus, and Sarda in Remesiana Dacia Mediterranean, and whose holders are attested during sinoade kept in different danubian territories. They sent probably horepiscopoi to strengthen the Christian faith in souls Dacian-Roman population, especially during and after the rule of Constantine the Great, and to consecrate some priests for the community needs.

Geospatial Education as a Means of Improving the Skills of  Geography Teachers

Abstract:
In the context of digitalization, there are many obstacles to the successful introduction of geospatial technologies (GST) into school geography and their integration with geographical education. The main one is the low geospatial education of teachers. The purpose of this study is to develop a curriculum for advanced training courses and an experimental study of its effectiveness by analyzing the content of the school's geography educational programs and studying the demands of geography teachers for geospatial knowledge. During the study, such general scientific methods as review, analysis, synthesis of scientific papers, study, comparison of regulatory documents on education were used. Based on the analysis of the role of GST in the curricula of Kazakhstan's secondary education and a survey study of the professional needs of geography teachers in geospatial education, 2-level (basic, advanced) training programs of advanced training courses for geography teachers, an additional manual for it, have been developed. The effectiveness of the basic level curriculum has been proven by an experimental study. The results of "pretest" and "posttest" from 24 teachers participating in the experiment showed that after the refresher course, the spatial skills of the course participants increase from "insufficient" and "average" to "high" and "very high". The research carried out supports the introduction of GST in school geography and contributes to speeding up this process.
