Dimitris Dragatakis (1914-2001): Advancing his legacy and Concerto for Viola using twenty-first-century digital tools

<p>This project focuses on Dimitris Dragatakis (1914–2001), his legacy, and Concerto for Viola in the twenty-first century. The research examines the following overarching questions within interlaced scholarly and creative components of the dissertation: How can we use twenty-first-century digital tools to promote Dimitris Dragatakis, one of Greece’s most important modern composers, to advance his legacy including, importantly, his Concerto for Viola, and to assist future scholars and performers in accessing information about his life and music? This dissertation discusses the digital tools and processes used to advance the legacy of Dimitris Dragatakis and to promote his Concerto for Viola. These tools and processes include creating and publishing the Dragatakis Archive Digital Database website, recording interviews with the Dragatakis family and leading Dragatakis scholar, and using his Concerto for Viola (1992) as a digital case study. The digital case study demonstrates how twenty-first-century performers, scholars, and archivists might approach advancing the works of lesser-known composers through digital media. In this case study, a new viola and piano performance edition and percussion chamber music performance edition are offered, a new digital orchestra score along with complete orchestral parts is made available, interview material with the violist who premiered the work has been recorded, and the recently unearthed premiere performance recording of the work from the Dragatakis archive has been included in an interactive video created by the researcher. This project also aims to provide a model for future performers and scholars to use to assist future projects beyond this topic.</p>

Distant Reading of the Metadata of the Digitized Hungarian Charm Corpus

Based on Éva Pócs’ manual charm index an online database was created for Hungarian verbal charms within the East–West Research Group at the Institute of Ethnology, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Budapest), between 2013 and 2018. The main goal was to create a multidimensional digital database. Digital text preparation would open the gates to new interpretations and analyses, which would bring us closer to understanding the compound and complex phenomena of charms. In the Digital Database of Hungarian Verbal Charms users can search by various metadata, like date and place of collection/recording, name of collector/scribe, informant, type of source, function of the charm, rites/gestures, language of the text, keywords etc. This paper focuses on how different new arrangements and distant reading of the corpora can reshape our knowledge about the Hungarian verbal charms.

Pendampingan Pembuatan Data Digital Manggis pada Kelompok Tani Bina Mandiri Dusun Nyiurbaye Gawah, Lombok Barat

A digital database of agricultural commodities is indispensable in the 4.0 and social revolution eras of 5.0. The creation of a mangosteen agricultural information system at the Bina Mandiri farmer group is vital to support the sustainability of farming activities in preparation for future export administration. This dissemination was carried out in collaboration with members of the Bina Mandiri farmer group, Nyiurbaye Gawah hamlet, Batu Mekar village, West Lombok district. The purpose of this activity is assistance in digitizing mangosteen trees in making digital maps of mangosteen distribution in the Bina Mandiri farmer group. The implementation of this activity includes: socializing the importance of digital data, collecting primary data and creating a mangosteen agriculture information system that can be connected to a WebGIS page. The result of this activity is the transfer of knowledge and technology of mangosteen mapping to the Bina Mandiri farmer group. In addition, the Bina Mandiri farmer group has digital data related to land and mangosteen trees so that it can be useful for sustainable management and utilization of the remaining space on land for planting mangosteen trees and knowledge of spacing errors that have occurred in the practice of planting mangosteen.

The Population Distribution of Al-Anbar Province Using Quantitative Methods in Geographic Information System for 2019

The importance of population distribution study appears through its direct impact on various fields such as economy, social and political fields. The research aims to show the pictures of the distribution of population in Anbar Province for 2019 according to its administrative units, but differently from the distributions taken earlier. We will depend on the distribution in several quantitative methods using GIS through multiple quantitative maps to show the ability of digital programs to represent in more than one method for same data, as well as the possibility of modern technologies of achieving maps and conduct spatial analyze at the lowest time and cost. This is what we see in the preparation of population maps for the region research clarifying what are the quantitative maps and showing the steps of their production in GIS and the symbols used as well as using ARC GIS programs in all research stages such as the progress of geographic return and then multiple drawing operations with the establishment of a digital database. The search came out a set of different maps in terms of the way drawing and output.

Measuring On-Farm Phosphorus Fertiliser Use—Lessons Learned from Surveying Data of Five Regions in Northern Germany

Phosphorus (P) is essential for agriculture; however, local P surpluses can have adverse environmental effects, such as eutrophication. Optimal P fertiliser use, therefore, means balancing these effects. Although P fluxes from soil to plants are key research areas, little is known about on-farm use of P fertilisers. As, typically, not all fields or crops are treated with P annually, the transferability of measurements for other nutrients, such as nitrogen, appears limited. This study aims to close this knowledge gap. On-farm P use was described using the farm records of 50 farms in five regions of northern Germany for the period of 2010 to 2018. All sources for P fertilisation were taken into account as either P mineral, P organic or P total. Two indicators for on-farm P use were suggested: frequency, which gives the percentage of the treated area, and amount, which gives the quantity used per ha of the treated area. The frequency for P total ranged from 55.9% to 93.1% of the total farm area being fertilised. Amounts between 24.8 and 41.6 kg ha−1 P total were applied on the treated area of the farm. The results supported the separation of the quantity and frequency in on-farm P use. No decrease in P use was found during the period investigated. Using mixed models, the results further show that explanatory variables, including the farm characteristics and crop choice, explain the substantial variations in P use. It is recommended for the example of Germany to establish an official digital database for P fertilisers that can be updated professionally and is mandatory for all documentation on P use.
