This study examined the characteristics of Kunimatsu’s guitar arrangements in Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion by comparing aspects of musical form, melody, and harmony. As with other arrangements’ performances, the primary motif of Astor Piazzola’sOblivion melodic theme in Kunimatsu guitar arrangement has always been played differently from the original version. This performance phenomenon could responsibly risk blurring the identification of structural boundaries within its musical form. The purpose of this study is to prove the basic construction of Oblivion melody, including its form structure and rhythmic characteristics, by comparing Kunimatsu’s arrangements against the composer’s original score. This study uses musicological research methods. The approaches applied in studying this work are analytical, theoretical, and comparative.  This study compares the two data to reveal the musical forms and the differences in the primary motive rhythmic characteristics. The results of this study are findings of the Oblivion musical forms in both publications and the differences in primary motives rhythmic patterns in both sources. The difference in musical form is impressive, possibly caused by the insertion of auxiliary members. As a result, Kunamitsu arrangement includes using the two-part song form, originally a three-part song form. With the revelation of the original melodic structure that is clear from the results of this study, the musicians who will present the Oblivion will at least have the essential reference in their interpretation. This research contributes to expanding studies in classical guitar performance and musical forms and new approaches in textual musicological analysis that are still infrequent.

The article examines the Cherubim chants written by Ukrainian composers of the musical classicism era – by Maxim Berezovsky, Dmitry Bortnyansky and Artemy Wedel. These composers wrote mainly spiritual music, so they did not omit the Cherubim chant – one of the songs in musical part during the Orthodox Liturgy. The purpose of this article is to reveal an innovative view on the musical embodiment of Cherubim songs by Ukrainian composers of the Classicism era, which, compared to previous cherubim chants, appears at the level of musical style and musical form, and the difference from pieces of music in concert genre, which had been influenced by everyday status of Cherubim chants. The research methods are based on the ways of musical-theoretical and stylistic analysis, as well as on the comparative manner. The method of musical-theoretical analysis contributed to the study of musical texts in Cherubim chants, the analytical method became the basis for identifying the stylistic belonging of pieces of music, comparative – to compare with the songs of previous and subsequent eras. The scientific novelty lies in the Cherubim chants separation from the creative heritage of Ukrainian composers of the Classicism era and their analysis as an independent line of creativity, which embodied an individual approach to the musical perusal of the canonical text. In the process of analysis it was concluded that the Cherubim chants written by M. Berezovsky, D. Bortnyansky and A. Wedel are striking examples of the new style, they can reveal features of musical classicism. Cherubim chants belong to everyday chant and, unlike choral concerts, have a more unified manner of musical presentation, but some chants reflect the features of individual thinking of their authors. At one time, the cherubim chants of these composers became an undoubted breakthrough, and later became a tradition.

Legal aid is essentially a mechanism that enables the poor and the vulnerable sectors of the society to be able to enforce their legal rights in order to access a fair and equitable justice in the society. Nowadays, a legal aid can be justifiably said as a crying need to ensure social and legal justice in Bangladesh because most of the citizens are illiterate and they live below the poverty line which incidentally makes matters worse. Due to their financial crisis or lack of legal knowledge they are often precluded to access justice. In recognizing the legal aid as a right, the government has enacted some laws. However, unfortunately those laws are full of weaknesses, loopholes, and procedural complexities which have to be judiciously addressed in the proper legal perspectives. As a matter of fact, legally speaking, much has been said and done, but ironically not much has been practiced. Due to these ever unsettling defects, the ultimate objectives of those laws have frequently failed to ensure enjoyment of the legal aid services among the vulnerable sectors of the society. In this research, an attempt has been made to analyze and find out numerous legal the gaps, loopholes and complexities of the existing laws relating to legal aid services in Bangladesh and frame out a comprehensive solution for ensuring the aid program by adopting the qualitative and the analytical research methods.

The faith and identity of Christian communities are formed and defined in large degree by musical forms and patterns. Music shapes and conveys theology, and is a point of engagement with broader culture. This is especially true in Free Church evangelicalism, where musical styles have nearly replaced denominational distinctives as the demarcating lines among various groups. This essay argues that music and worship are “active theology.” Worship and its music should over time express the full range of Christian truth and form worshipers truthfully. The essay explores and catalogues principal influences and concerns pertaining to musical form, style, and content. Church musicians are encouraged to see themselves as shapers of contextual theology in their communities.

A critical analysis, considering first, the legal competence and propriety of the Court in giving an opinion pursuant to the dispute settlement machinery of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of United Nations, whereby advisory jurisdiction over disputes of the UN is equated to contentious jurisdiction between consenting states; and second, the effect in municipal law of a state's obligation to respect the UN Secretary-General's certificate that a UN expert is entitled to immunity from legal process. The Court preserves resort to local courts but requires communication of the UN certificate and immunity to be dealt with expeditiously as a preliminary issue.

There are increasing numbers of traditional biologists, untrained in educational research methods, who want to develop and assess new classroom innovations. In this article we argue the necessity of formal research over normal classroom feedback. We also argue that traditionally trained biologists can make significant contributions to biology pedagogy. We then offer some guidance to the biologist with no formal educational research training who wants to get started. Specifically, we suggest ways to find out what others have done, we discuss the difference between qualitative and quantitative research, and we elaborate on the process of gaining insights from student interviews. We end with an example of a project that has used many different research techniques.

The purpose of the study was to define informative indicators of technical and tactical actions of qualified rifle shooting athletes. Materials and methods. The study involved MSU (number of athletes n = 10), CMSU (number of athletes n = 9). To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation. Pedagogical observation was used to study the peculiarities of technical and tactical indicators of qualified athletes, as well as their motor abilities; methods of mathematical statistics were used to process the experimental data. Results. A detailed analysis of competitive activity made it possible to determine that the shot phases “Aiming”, “Shot execution – active shot”, “Preparation for the shot” are informative indicators of technical and tactical actions of qualified rifle shooting athletes. The study determined time parameters of the phases during competitive activity. The difference between the average indicators of the athletes with different sports qualifications is at the limit of 2.55 seconds, which suggests that the duration of the restorative processes of the shooter’s body affects the performance of each shot.  Conclusions. A detailed analysis of air rifle shooting among men during competitive activity allowed to determine the difference in technical and tactical fitness between the athletes with different sports qualifications of MSU and CMSU levels: “Aiming” – MSU 950.56 seconds, CMSU 1017.91 seconds; “Shot execution – active shot” – MSU 964.45 seconds, CMSU 952.36 seconds; “Preparation for the shot” – MSU 1678.66 seconds, CMSU 1855.19 seconds, “Total execution time” – MSU 3593.68 seconds, CMSU 3825.47 seconds.

ABSTRAKPasal penghinaan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik sebagaimana telah diamandemen dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2016 merupakan pasal yang sering menimbulkan perdebatan. Penulis mengkaji putusan-putusan pengadilan periode tahun 2010-2016, dan menemukan rumusan masalah bagaimana disparitas penerapan pasal penghinaan dalam Pasal 27 ayat (3) jo. Pasal 45 Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik, dan pada aspek perlindungan terhadap kebebasan berekspresi? Penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan undang-undang dan pendekatan kasus dilakukan untuk memperoleh jawaban. Analisis terhadap dua belas putusan pengadilan yang telah berkekuatan hukum tetap pada periode tahun 2010 sampai dengan 2016 diperoleh dua kesimpulan. Pertama, terjadi disparitas dalam penerapan Pasal 27 ayat (3) jo. Pasal 45 tersebut karena adanya disparitas ketika hakim menginterpretasikan unsur-unsur pasal tersebut. Kedua, terjadi disparitas dalam perlindungan kebebasan berekspresi akibat adanya disparitas tersebut, bahkan penerapan pasal tindak pidana penghinaan tersebut cenderung mengancam kebebasan berekspresi.Kata kunci: tindak pidana, penghinaan, kebebasan berekspresi. ABSTRACT Article of defamation in Law Number 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions as amended by Law Number 19 of 2016 is every so often debated. This analysis examines court decisions around the period 2010-2016 with the formulation of the problem of how inconsistent the application of the defamation article in Article 27 paragraph (3) juncto Article 45 of Information and Electronic Transactions Law, along with the aspect of freedom of expression protection. This study uses normative research methods with law and cases approach to obtain answers. Out from analyzing twelve court decisions with have permanent legal force from 2010 to 2016, two conclusions are obtained. First, there is disparity in the application of Article 27 paragraph (3) in conjunction with Article 45 because of the disparity when the judge interprets the elements of the article. Second, there is disparity in the protection of freedom of expression due to the difference; even the application of the criminal offense article tends to threaten freedom of expression. The contradiction must be between the decisions of the same court, or at the same level. Keywords: criminal act, defamation, freedom of expression.
