Берестяные изделия в собрании Национального художественного музея Республики Саха (Якутия), выполненные в соответствии с канонами и художественным стилем, яркий показатель материальной и духовной культуры якутов. В статье представлена типология берестяных изделий из коллекции музея по способу изготовления и декору, дан анализ техники, комплекса выразительных средств и их символического значения. По якутским поверьям береза была священным деревом божеств Верхнего мира, она защищала человека от действий темных сил и болезней. Изделия из бересты помимо утилитарных целей имели важное культовое значение. В берестяных изделиях XX начала XXI века сохраняется архаичная стилистика и техника, демонстрируя нераздельность старого и нового. Каждая мастерица, выражая одухотворенное отношение к природе, обращается к огромному культурному пласту, используя многовековой отбор форм, орнаментики, технологических приемов, которые хранят в себе большие возможности. Бесконечно возрождающийся во множестве творческих вариантов, этот феномен демонстрирует единство в традиционном русле якутской пластики. In the collection of the National Fine Arts Museum of the Republic of Sakha (Yakuita), birch bark items, made in accordance with the canons and artistic style, are a bright indicator of the material and spiritual culture of the Yakuts. The article presents the typology of birch bark objects from the Museums collection by the method of manufacturing and decoration, analyzes the technique, the complex of expressive means and their symbolic meaning. According to Yakut beliefs, birch was a sacred tree of the deities of the Upper World, protecting a person from the actions of dark forces and diseases. Therefore, the objects of birch bark, in addition to utilitarian purposes, had important cult significance, an eternal meaning. Archaic style and technique are preserved in birch bark objects of the 20th early 21st century, demonstrating the indivisibility of the old and the new. Each craftswoman, expressing a spiritual attitude towards nature, turns to a huge cultural stratum, using the centuriesold selection of forms, ornaments, and technological methods that keep endless possibilities. Infinitely reviving in a variety of creative options, this phenomenon demonstrates unity in the traditional course of the Yakut plastics.

The Directorate General of Fine Arts of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey organized a “Competition for Compositions in Infrequently-Used Maqams and Usuls” with November 1, 2005 as the deadline of applications, and the competition ended with the awards ceremony in April 2006. Almost 500 composers applied with their compositions in 50 infrequently-used maqams determined by a board, and a total of 50 works from six groups received awards. The organizing institution emphasized that the objectives of the competition were to bring those 50 identified maqams to light, to encourage composers to compose works in these maqams, and to enrich the repertory of maqamic music.Grouped by their tonics and çeşni’s, only two of these 50 maqams were şed (transposed) maqams. One was Rûhnevâz, the transposed maqam of Bûselik, with the tonic in Hüseynîaşîran, and the other was Reng-i Dil, the transposed maqam of Neveser, with the tonic in Acemaşîran. This article seeks to explain why so few compositions have been made in the maqams Rûhnevâz and Reng-i Dil, which are compared for similarities and differences with other maqams that use the same scales in the context of maqamic analysis and transpositions, as well as the originality of these maqams. ÖzetT.C. Kültür ve Turizm Bakanlığı, Güzel Sanatlar Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından 2005 yılı 1 Kasım günü çağrılı “Az Kullanılan Makam ve Usûllerde Beste Yarışması” düzenlenir ve Nisan 2006’da bir ödül töreniyle sonlandırılır. Bir kurul tarafından belirlenen 50 az kullanılmış makamda yaklaşık 500 eser sahibi başvuru yapar ve altı gruptan toplam elli eser ödüllendirilir. Düzen­leyen kurumca, yarışma düzenleme amacının, belirlenen 50 makamın yeniden gün ışığına çıkarılması, bestecilerin bu makamlarda eser üretmelerini teşvik etmek ve makam müziği repertuarını zenginleştirme olduğu vurgulan­mıştır.Karar perdeleri ve karar çeşnileri üzerinden bir tabloda gruplandırılan bu 50 makamın sadece ikisinin şed makam olduğu görülmüştür. Bir tanesi Hüseynîaşîran perdesi kararlı Buselik makamı şeddi Rûhnevâz diğeri ise, Acemaşîran perdesi kararlı Neveser makamı şeddi olan Reng-i Dil’dir. Bu yazıda, makamsal analiz, göçürme uygulaması ve aynı dizileri kullanan diğer makamlarla arasındaki benzerlikler / farklılıklar bağlamında, bunlara ek olarak,  özgünlük kavramı üzerinden irdelenmiş olan Rûhnevâz ve Reng-i Dil makamlarında, neden nicelik bakımdan az sayıda eser verilmiş olabileceği araştırılmıştır.

Village funds are a form of the Republic of Indonesia's government program which launched the concept of Building Indonesia from Pingiran. This program is closely related to the empowerment of rural communities to improve community welfare. The budget, which has been launched in the amount of billions of rupiah for rural communities, is expected to bring changes in their daily lives. Community involvement in this program is intended so that the community is no longer the object of development but becomes the subject of development. On the other hand, village funds also have a negative effect, namely misuse of these funds by village officials. To explore the reality of this village fund, data on the use of funds has been used since its inception until now. To reveal this phenomenon, a study is needed to reveal the usage. This research was conducted in Gorontalo Regency which has 18 Districts, 191 Villages, which quantitatively has the largest number of villages in Gorontalo Province. Another thing about the selection of Gorontalo District as a research location is based on the consideration of having a coastal village and an agricultural village. The existence of these two villages is interesting to conduct research on village funds. In this study using qualitative methods with data collection stages, namely: initial observation, interviews and documents. The data analysis used was Huberman and Miles. The choice of the analysis method is based on the consideration of uncovering a phenomenon and nomena, which requires the researcher to directly associate and live with the community to be studied.Efforts made in the use of village funds are oriented towards long-term needs

The article is devoted to one but important direction of archival documents and information use - the publication of documents of the National Archival Fond of the Republic of Belarus, which are deposited in the state archives. The article briefly discovers the legal requirements for publishing activities, including organizational aspects of the preparation and conduct of the work fixed in the rules of work of the state archives. The author notes the significant achievements of the Belarusian archivists in this area in recent years, which are supported by both quantitative and qualitative indicators. However, despite the progress made in publishing activities, a number of problems to be solved still remain. Among them, the author notes the absence of uniform rules of the publication of archival documents, the lack of a single center, which coordinates the work of publication at the national level, undeveloped Belarusian diplomatique, which creates difficulties with the publication of documents of the 14th-18th centuries, the need to develop the requirements for electronic publication. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of archival science in the development of evidence-based approaches to the selection of papers for publication, development of common approaches to the transmission of texts published, preparation of relevant guidelines.

Evidence-based assessment relies on research and theory to inform the selection of constructs to be assessed for a specific assessment purpose, the methods and measures to be used in the assessment, and the manner in which the assessment process unfolds. An evidence-based approach to clinical assessment necessitates the recognition that, even when evidence-based instruments are used, the assessment process is a decision-making task in which hypotheses must be iteratively formulated and tested. In this chapter, we review (a) the progress that has been made in developing an evidence-based approach to clinical assessment in the past decade and (b) the many challenges that lie ahead if clinical assessment is to be truly evidence-based.

Studying the historical facts of past wars and armed conflicts and natural and man-made emergencies, today in the Republic of Kazakhstan one of the most important security issues is the preparation and organization of the evacuation of the population from possible dangerous zones, taking into account the emergence of new threats to the country’s security. The paper presents an algorithm for constructing universal scales of the distribution function of opportunities by types of support and rebuilding them into subject scales using display functions. The purpose of the paper is to determine the integral indicators characterizing the possibility of accommodation of the evacuated population and the impact on resources during relocation. On the subject scales of cities and districts of the region, indicators of the possibility of relocation of a certain amount of the evacuated population by types of support and indicators characterizing the impact on the district’s resources during resettlement of a certain amount of the evacuated population are determined. It was concluded that the use of integrated indicators allows the selection of areas to accommodate the evacuated population without the use of statistical data, in conditions of incomplete and inaccurate information. The presented method does not replace traditional methods based on classical methods of territory assessment by the level of life sustenance, but also allows their reasonable combination with the experience of specialists in this field, taking into account the incompleteness, uncertainty, and inconsistency of the initial data of the study area, which does not allow the application of existing methods.

AbstractAn altered facial appearance is more difficult to face, than problems related to ill-fitting denture or eating. The selection of maxillary anterior teeth for complete denture has long posed problem in clinical practice and a controversy about the best method to employ still exists. An attempt is made in the present study to clinically correlate the face form with maxillary central incisor tooth form in males and females of Davangere population. In 1914, Leon William's projected the “the form method” where he classified facial forms as square, tapering, and ovoid. Maxillary central incisors were selected according to the facial forms.Of total 100 subjects four different tooth forms and face forms were evaluated. They are: square, ovoid, square-tapered, tapered. No significant correlation existed between face form in male and females. Females exhibited greater correlation between face forms and inverted tooth form but that correlation is not sufficient to serve as a guide for selection of anterior teeth.

High Efficiency Deep Grinding (HEDG) has been known to secure high removal rates in grinding processes at high wheel speed, relatively large depth of cut and moderately high work speed. High removal rates in HEDG are associated with very efficient grinding and secure very low specific energy comparable to conventional cutting processes. Though there exist HEDG-enabled machine tools, the wide spread of HEDG has been very limited due to the requirement for the machine tool and process design to ensure workpiece surface integrity. HEDG is an aggressive machining process that requires an adequate selection of grinding parameters in order to be successful within a given machine tool and workpiece configuration. This paper presents progress made in the development of a specialised HEDG machine. Results of HEDG processes obtained from the designed machine tool are presented to illustrate achievable high specific removal rates. Specific grinding energies are shown alongside with measured contact arc temperatures. An enhanced single-pole thermocouple technique was used to measure the actual contact temperatures in deep cutting. The performance of conventional wheels is depicted together with the performance of a CBN wheel obtained from actual industrial tests.

Due to the fact that the major portion of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals contains heterocyclic units and since the overall number of commercially used heterocyclic compounds is steadily growing, heterocyclic chemistry remains in the focus of the synthetic community. Enormous efforts have been made in the last decades in order to render the production of such compounds more selective and efficient. However, most of the conventional methods for the construction of heterocyclic cores still involve the use of strong acids or bases, the operation at elevated temperatures and/or the use of expensive catalysts and reagents. In this regard, electrosynthesis can provide a milder and more environmentally benign alternative. In fact, numerous examples for the electrochemical construction of heterocycles have been reported in recent years. These cases demonstrate that ring formation can be achieved efficiently under ambient conditions without the use of additional reagents. In order to account for the recent developments in this field, a selection of representative reactions is presented and discussed in this review.

The problem of organizing expert activities in the field of forensic art examination of fine arts at a practical level is considered. The conditions of objectivity (reliability) of the results of a forensic art examination of fine art in law enforcement practiceare identified. In this regard, the problem of the reliability of the examination results is considered at the interdisciplinary level: substantive law – criminal and customs; criminal procedure law, as well as forensic science and expert activities. The necessity of creating, within the framework of the anti-corruption policy of the state, an independent institute of forensic art criticism of fine arts is substantiated. It is proposed: 1) to create an information base under the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on the data of art historians known in different fields of fine art who can act as competent persons in legal proceedings; 2) to create a mechanism for the appointment of a commission of forensic-forensic art examination of objects of fine art examination on the basis of automatic random selection of subjects of examination. It is proved that this measure excludes the possibility of giving an unreliable conclusion as part of a forensic art examination of objects of fine art.
