Abstract:
The prevailing image of Messiaen in the 1930s is of an organist-composer. One of the first things learnt about him is that he was organist at the church of the Trinité in Paris, having been appointed at the spectacularly young age of 22. As the earliest (though not the first) of Messiaen's works to have been published, the short organ piece Le Banquet céleste (1928) is, quite rightly, the focus of close examination for its precocious assurance. The 1930s were punctuated by the substantial organ cycles La Nativité du Seigneur (1935) and Les Corps glorieux (1939), so it is no surprise to find Felix Aprahamian's article for the fifth edition of Grove describing Messiaen as being a ‘French organist and composer”, and later observing that ‘although it was as a composer of organ music that in pre-war years Messiaen's name first attracted attention, he had already composed a quantity of vocal music’. Fifty years later, Paul Griffiths similarly observed that ‘Organ works featured prominently in his output of the next decade [1930s], but so did music about his family’. According to Harry Halbreich, ‘one can say that before 1940, Messiaen was essentially an organist-composer’, while, Malcolm Hayes concludes his chapter on the early orchestral music in The Messiaen Companion by stating that ‘to judge from the idiom of his works written in the 1930s, he had once seemed destined to spend his creative life within the narrow confines of the organ loft’.

Abstract:
It has been often observed that Georgian Britain was alive with musical activity, and that London was one of the most important musical hubs in Europe. Most of Britain's important provincial centres were well connected to the capital by road or sea, and this helped facilitate the spread of the latest musical ideas around the country. The west Cumberland town of Whitehaven is situated over three hundred miles from London by road and, at the time, was isolated from the rest mainland Britain by the surrounding fells of the Lake District. Nevertheless, by the end of the eighteenth century Whitehaven had grown into one of Britain's most important ports and had a musical life that rivalled that at any other major town in the country.Musical life in Whitehaven was dominated by the Howgill family. William Howgill senior was appointed organist of St Nicholas’ Church in 1756 and set himself up there as music teacher and concert promoter. Here he raised a family and was succeeded in his musical duties by his son, William Howgill junior. This article examines the Howgill family's musical activities in depth and explores their London connections. This research is based on the detailed study of primary sources including newspapers, but there has also been an effort to examine all of William Howgill junior's compositions. This study reveals that, despite Whitehaven's remote location, Howgill junior was well aware of the latest musical developments in the capital.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to identify the toxicity, determine and verify safe concentration of effluents containing phenol to the aquatic ecosystems on the basis of single- and multispecies ecotoxicological bioassays. Synthetic wastewater imitating municipal sewage showed acute toxicity in relation to all bioindicators and belonged to the third toxicity class. The most sensible organism was Danio rerio, the most resistance organism was Desmodesmus quadricauda. Chronic safe concentration of wastewater containing phenol was 0.63% which corresponded to 0.63 mg/l of phenol. Appointed safe concentration and the one ten times higher than safe were verified in microcosm study, which confirmed that safe concentration did not cause toxic effects. Maximum permissible concentration of phenol in water bodies does not exceed determined concentration in different countries. Proposed research model can be used to determine and verify safe concentrations for aquatic ecosystems of many types of sewage from various industries.

Abstract:
Aim. To determine effectiveness of combination therapy with lisinopril and fosinopril in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF), considering its impact on the regulatory and adaptive capabilities organism. Materials and methods. 80 patients were examined with CHF II functional class with preserved systolic function of the left ventricle (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%) (classification of the New York Heart Association) in the presence of hypertension disease (HD) III stage and/or ischemic heart disease (IHD). Randomly divided into two equal groups. In the first group was appointed for treatment with lisinopril (the average dose was 14.0±3.8 mg/day), in the second group - fosinopril (the average dose - 14.7±4.2 mg/day). All patients were prescribed nebivolol (7.1±2.2 mg/day and 6.8±2.1 mg/day). Depending on the concomitant pathology were appointed acetylsalicylic acid in the intestinal shell (100 mg/day, n=9 and 100 mg/day, n=10) and atorvastatin (15.3±4.9 mg/day, n=15 and 16.5±4.8 mg/day, n=17). Initially and after six months later of combined pharmacotherapy studied: a quantitative assessment of regulatory and adaptive capabilities of the organism, echocardiography, treadmill test, six-minute walk test, determination in blood plasma of the N-terminal precursor of the natriuretic brain peptide level, all-day monitoring of blood electrocardiograms and pressure. The quality of life was also assessed using a questionnaire. Results. Both treatment regimens of patients equally improved the structural and functional parameters of the heart, reduced neurohumoral activity, optimized heart rate and pulse. In this case, treatment with fosinopril is more pronounced positively regulatory-adaptive capacity and tolerance to physical load, and also there was an improvement in the quality of life. Conclusion. In patients with CHF with preserved LV EF, in the presence of HD and/or IHD combined pharmacotherapy with fosinopril in comparison with lisinopril probably is preferable due to the more pronounced increase in regulatory and adaptive capabilities.

Jovan Apostolovic was born between 1730 and 1735, in Buda and died in 1770 in Novi Sad. He was the first Serbian physician who acquired the title of a medical doctor with his doctoral thesis. After his graduation from the Halle Medical School in 1757, he defended his doctoral thesis there, titled ?How Emotions Affect the Human Body?. This thesis, considering the time of its publication, was the first in the history of medicine that studied psychosomatics taking into consideration the influence of emotions on human organism. Upon his arrival to Novi Sad, in 1759, Apostolovic had founded his medical practice as an only graduate physician in the town. When, after its outbreak in Belgrade, Srem and Banat, the plague threatened to spread to the Novi Sad area, he was appointed the town?s doctor in 1763, but was resolved from this position in 1765, since the Magistrate was not able to handle the pressure from the barbers, catholic priests and German population of the town. After losing this position, he continued with his medical practice in Novi Sad, till 1770 when he died of tuberculosis.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the participation of Illinois Negroes in politics, including elections. Having been given the right to vote by federal and state constitutions, Illinois Negroes began to organize for political action about five years after the close of the Civil War. Although George White had been appointed town crier of Chicago in 1837 and John Jones had been elected as a Cook County Commissioner in 1871, Cairo's Negro voters in 1873 demonstrated for the first time the effect of organization on a racial basis across the state. They rallied around and elected him as police magistrate, the second best office in the city. This chapter looks at the success of a number of Negroes in Illinois electoral politics as well as those who had been appointed to various political posts and others who wielded considerable political power in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, from I. I. Bird and William Hale Thompson to Adelbert H. Roberts, Earl B. Dickerson, John “Mushmouth” Johnson, Daniel M. Jackson, and Marcus Garvey.

On 18 September 1838, while Marmier was still in Sweden, he was appointed, in his absence, to the newly created chair of Foreign Literature at the University of Rennes. This was one of a number of new posts created in an expansion of provincial universities by an initiative of the Ministre de l'Instruction publique, Salvandy. Once back with his parents in Bourgfeld, Marmier learned with great satisfaction that Salvandy would allow him to spend the remainder of the year on sabbatical in Paris. After becoming bored with his post, he urged Gaimard to organise a new expedition. In his expedition in Spitzbergen, the things that struck Marmier most during his contacts with the local population were their hospitality, their honesty, their physical beauty, and their terrible poverty. On the whole, his comments about them are sympathetic and positive, although he condemns the treatment of animals there.

This chapter traces the beginnings of a communist party under Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and how that party came to be defined. When Lenin and other Bolshevik leaders spoke of their party in the early 1900s, they still viewed it primarily in revolutionary terms and only secondarily appreciated the benefits of greater organization. As revolutionaries, they viewed their mission in terms of working together to ensure that the proletariat followed through on its historically appointed task. Thus, there was considerably more room for debate among them about the party's purposes than is commonly assumed. The organizational structures would eventually come. But this would be a slow process, reflecting an abiding tension between the idea of the party's function in the Revolution and the organs that were required for effective governance thereafter.

Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the Jokowi government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic and explains why it has not been capable of responding quickly to Covid-19. There were four main barriers: first, the unhealthy relationship between the Indonesian Medical Association and the recently appointed minister of health affairs; second, the political rivalry between Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s (known as Jokowi) administration and the current governor of Jakarta, the national capital of Indonesia; third, the incompetence of the Jokowi cabinet, where lack of leadership has been shown during the crisis; and finally, the conservative religious groups’ position, rejecting the request not to organize mass prayers. The combination of these four barriers contributed to the slow response and ineffectiveness of the government’s policies and regulations during the Covid-19 crisis. The response was too little, too late. The Jokowi administration was pushed into a corner, making unclear policies, uncoordinated responses, and conflicting statements.

Abstract:
This essay, eschewing the use of meta-narratives such as Enlightenment, Romanticism or Industrialisation, examines in detail the role that the Watt family (James senior and his sons James junior and Gregory) played, first, in establishing the Medical Pneumatic Institution (MPI) in Bristol and, second, in securing the employment of the nineteen-year old Humphry Davy to be the Institution’s Superintendent. The radical physician Thomas Beddoes wanted to investigate, using an apparatus developed by Watt senior, the possible therapeutic effects of gases discovered during the eighteenth century. To facilitate developing pneumatic medicine Beddoes organised a national fund-raising campaign to establish the MPI. In doing this he was supported (including financially) by the Watt family and by others such as Tom Wedgwood. By the middle of 1798 sufficient funds had been obtained and Beddoes began looking for a Superintendent to run the MPI. Davies Giddy and Gregory Watt successfully recommended Davy to Beddoes, who appointed him in October 1798. Davy spent two and a half years at the MPI, during which he discovered the physiological effects of nitrous oxide and undertook his earliest electrical researches. Understanding the course of these events at the level of detail used here suggests the limited explanatory value of meta-narratives.

Full text
Abstract:
The German chemist Richard Wilhelm Heinrich Abegg (Fig. 13.1), was born on 9 January 1869 in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland) (1). He received his PhD in 1891 from the University of Berlin for work in the field of organic chemistry done under the direction of August Hofmann. He switched to the new and rising field of physical chemistry immediately upon graduation, doing postdoctoral work in the laboratories of Wilhelm Ostwald at Leipzig and Svante Arrhenius at Stockholm, as well as serving as personal assistant to Walther Nernst at Göttingen. In 1897 Abegg was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland). In 1909 he moved to the local Technischen Hochschule, where he remained until his untimely death on 3 April 1910 at age 41 in a ballooning accident near Koszalin in what is now modern-day Poland. As might be inferred from his association with Ostwald, Arrhenius, and Nernst, Abegg’s research interests quickly focused on the newly formulated theories of ionic dissociation and chemical equilibrium, where he is credited with contributing to an understanding of the theory of freezing point depression and with writing two popular introductory textbooks on the use of the ionic theory and equilibrium in reinterpreting various traditional areas of chemical synthesis and analysis (2, 3). With the discovery of the electron in 1897 Abegg soon became interested in its use to rationalize various electrochemical phenomena and in its possible implications for both the periodic table and chemical bonding. That year he published, in collaboration with Guido Bodländer, his theory of electroaffinity in which he postulated that electrochemical half-cell oxidation potentials could be used as a measure of an atom’s attraction for electrons and that this, in turn, could be qualitatively correlated with periodic trends (Fig. 13.2) in such properties as molecular polarity, solubility, and the tendency to form complex ions (4, 5).

"decolonisation in Africa since the latter generally implied that a compromise between the colonial power and the nationalist movement(s) is worked out in a constitutional conference which not only shaped the political system of the new post-colonial state, but also worked out the economic and financial obligations and arrangements of the new state vis-a-vis its previous colonial power. Frelimo's position that the Lusaka conference could only discuss the conditions of the transfer of power and not the content of the new power was accepted in the end by the Portuguese delegation. Furthermore, no agreements were made with respect to financial and economic ties as a carry-over from the colonial period. The concrete mechanism of the transfer of power was to take place through the immediate instalment of a transitional government in which Frelimo was the majority partner with Portuguese officials as the only remaining other partner. The immediate response to the agreements was the aborted attempt on the part of section of the settler population to seize power by means of Rhodesia-type unilateral declaration of independence. The period of the transitional government (up to independence in June 1975) and roughly the first two years after independence were characterised by the massive emigration of the settler population accompanied by an intense struggle waged by the colonial bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie in an attempt to destabilise the economy as well as to export most of its capital (in whatever form). Hence economic sabotage in its various forms - destruction of equipment, and economic infrastructure; killing of cattle stock; large-scale dismissal of workers from productive enterprises and complete production standstills - were practised on a large scale all over the country. The export of capital also assumed enormous proportions and took various forms: the collapse of the (colonial) state apparatus and the fact that banks were privately owned meant that it was easy to arrange for acquiring foreign exchange to import goods without any imports subsequently materialising, or to export cashew, cotton, etc., without the foreign exchange ever returning to the national bank; furthermore, initially no control was organised over the export of personal belongings of returning settlers which led to massive buying in shops and depletion of stock of commodities; finally, the direct illegal exportation across the borders to South Africa and Rhodesia of trucks, tractors, equipment, cattle, etc., further depleted the available means of production in the country. With this context economic policy was dictated by the necessity to fight against the destabilisation of the economy propelled by the actions of the colonial bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie (as well as of skilled and admin-istrative workers). The legal weapon was a decree of February 1975 which specified that in proven cases of acts of sabotage (which included the massive dismissal of workers and deliberate production stoppages) the government could intervene by transferring the management of the enterprise to an appointed administrative council composed of workers and often members of the old management as well. The social force which concretised this policy were the dynamising groups - popular organisations of militants which were constituted at community level as well as in enterprises, public institutions and government administrations. The outcome of this intense struggle was a sharp production crisis which." In The Agrarian Question in Socialist Transitions, 191–96. Routledge, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203043493-27.

Abstract:
This paper describes the viscosity variation of a liquid crystal under electric field, and its application to a controllable step bearing. Liquid crystal is known as a homogeneous organic liquid characterized by the long-range order of its molecular orientation. When an electric field is applied to a liquid crystal film as lubricant, the orientational order of molecules becomes parallel to the applied field, which causes apparent viscosity variation. In this paper, a controllable step bearing system was constructed and its dynamic characteristics were studied. When a step load, sinusoidal or earthquake excitation was applied to the bearing pad, the film thickness was successfully controlled to the appointed value by a conventional PID controller. The response frequency was also studied in the experiment.

Abstract:
The article presents selected results of the analysis of a sample of voluntary associations of municipalities, which was carried out in connection with the elaboration of the methodology of well-functioning associations by the Czech Ministry of the Interior. Multipurpose voluntary associations operating in a functional micro-region identical or similar to the ORP territory (territory of municipalities with extended power) were examined. The formal aspects of their functioning, managerial models, methods of communication, value aspects, etc. were examined. This article focuses on the first examined area, ie. the formal aspects of the functioning of associations. It is based on a formal analysis of the founding documents and articles of association, their comparison and assessment. The information was subsequently verified in the form of controlled interviews with representatives of the unions. The survey shows that the variability in the setting of organs and relationships within the bundles is not significant, it concerns only some roles and names (designations) of organs. I.e. all the associations examined showed the same similar features in terms of the division of tasks between the supreme and executive bodies. Partial differences were identified in the relationship between the highest and the executive body (within the scope of the tasks that were delegated), in the way of recruiting new members, and the sanction of the member community in case of non-fulfillment of obligations. The chairman always represents the association externally. He himself, or in cooperation with the secretary or his deputy (occasionally) participates in organizing the operation of the association. Associations seldom create bodies of working, initiating or control nature. Their position does not have to be regulated by the statutes. Subsequently, recommendations for the effective operation of the bundles are formulated. In the event that the chairman cannot devote himself to the activities of the association on a full-time basis, it is necessary for the successful operation of the union to appoint the position of manager or secretary.
