Music and the Making of Modern Japan: Joining the Global Concert
No full text472 p.Japan was the first non-Western nation to compete with the Western powers at their own game. The country’s rise to a major player on the stage of Western music has been equally spectacular. The connection between these two developments, however, has never been explored.
How did making music make Japan modern? How did Japan make music that originated in Europe its own? And what happened to Japan’s traditional music in the process? Music and the Making of Modern Japan answers these questions. Discussing musical modernization in the context of globalization and nation-building, Margaret Mehl argues that, far from being a side-show, music was part of the action on centre stage. Making music became an important vehicle for empowering the people of Japan to join in the shaping of the modern world.
In only fifty years, from the 1870s to the early 1920s, Japanese people laid the foundations for the country’s post-war rise as a musical as well as an economic power. Meanwhile, new types of popular song, fuelled by the growing global record industry, successfully blended inspiration from the West with musical characteristics perceived as Japanese.
Music and the Making of Modern Japan represents a fresh contribution to historical research on making music as a major cultural, social, and political force
The DEI Metadata Handbook: A Guide to Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Description
No full text98 p.Written primarily for professionals in library and information science but with applicability to archives and other information management industries, this handbook provides an overview of metadata work that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). DEI metadata work has several goals: enhancing diverse representation in descriptive metadata; improving discovery of diverse resources; and mitigating negative effects of inaccurate, outdated, or offensive terminology. Readers will gain a broad awareness of DEI-related issues in metadata creation and management; learn techniques for retroactively reviewing and updating existing metadata to address these issues; and develop strategies to create metadata that better meets DEI needs
Extraction of fennel essential oil (Foeniculum vulgare M.): method, chemical composition, and kinetic model
Get PDF1 pageFennel (Foeniculum vulgare M.) is one of the most commonly used and extensively studied medicinal herbs worldwide. Many researchers report multitudinous health benefits. This study used hydrodistillation (HD) and microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (MAHD) methods to extract fennel essential oil. Parameters affecting the process such as material-to-water ratio, heater power, and distillation time were investigated. Both techniques achieved the highest yield (1.9%) at a material-to-water ratio of 1:6, heater power of 350 W (HD), and 1080 W (MAHD). Under these conditions, the two-site desorption model showed compatibility, i.e., the extraction process included two stages of breaking essential oil particles and diffusing them from plant cells. Chemical composition analysis showed fennel essential oil contained four main components: anethole (58.76%), estragole (26.55%), terpinolene (8.32%), and D-limonene (4.66%). Among them, anethole is the main scent compound of fennel seed oil and exhibits anticancer activity
Using the Delphi methodology to develop technology criteria to assess e-learning readiness in Higher education Institutions
Get PDF11 p.Many higher education institutions in Viet Nam are adopting e-learning to explore new education opportunities. However, the successful implementation of e-learning depends on various aspects of the organization's readiness, particularly technology readiness. This research aims to identify and develop a scale that measures the required technology factors for evaluating the readiness of higher education institutions in Viet Nam to deploy e-learning. To achieve this, the authors presented the concept and scales of eight technology factors: hardware, software, connectivity, security, flexibility, skills and support, and data centers. These factors were identified through two rounds of Delphi interviews with 17 experts. This research provides a framework for higher education institutions to assess their readiness to implement e-learning projects based on technological criteria
Application of machine learning models for green and simultaneous determination of asiaticoside and madecassoside in Centella asiatica
Get PDF8 p.The artificial neuron network (ANN), which is a subfield of machine learning, has been widely applied in analytical chemistry for classification/pattern recognition, prediction, and modeling. ANN combined with UV spectrometry can be used to tackle the problem of overlapping spectra of a complicated matrix of herbal medicine. In the present study, ANN has been used for simultaneous determination of asiaticoside and madecassoside in Centella asiatica collected from various provinces in Viet Nam based on UV spectra of standard reference and spiked samples. The absorption spectra of 108 C. asiatica samples were recorded in (190-250) nm of wavelength with an interval of 1 nm (61 variables) were used for data acquisition. An ANN model using traincgb function with 40 neural hidden layers was trained. The correlation coefficients were all higher than 0.9999. The concentration of asiaticoside and madecassoside in all tested samples revealed a good recovery, as compared to the referenced values. The ANN model can be considered as effective, time-saving and environment-friendly quantitative analysis tool for herbal medicine

Cycling Through the Pandemic
No full text254 p.This open access book provides insight on how the tactical urbanism has the capacity to influence change in mobility practices such as cycling. COVID-19 crisis prompted the public authorities to rethink the use of public space in order to develop means of transport that are both efficient and adapted to the health context and their effects on cycling practices in Europe, North, and South America. Its contributors collectively reveal and evidence through policies analysis, mapping, and innovative qualitative analysis bridging video and interviews, how those new infrastructures and policies can be a trigger for change in a context of mobility transition.
This book provides an important element on the way local authorities can act in a quicker and more agile way. While some decisions are specific to the context of the beginning of the pandemic, the analysis offers lessons on the way to implement the transition toward a low-carbon mobility, on the importance of processes based on trials and errors, on the political stakes of reallocating road space

Effects of Infrared Drying Conditions and Maltodextrin Addition on Some Physicochemical Characteristics of Avocado (Persea americana) Pulp Powder
No full text1 p.In this study, avocado pulp with a good nutritional profile and economic value was dehydrated using infrared drying to produce pulp powder, which shows potential application in nutritional supplements. An experimental design with two factors, namely maltodextrin level (0% and 9%) and infrared temperature (ranging from 65 to 80 ºC), was used. Responses related to the physicochemical properties of the resulted powder were observed, including peroxide value, total polyphenols, total chlorophylls, antioxidant activity, and color parameters (L*, a*, and b* values). The quality of dried products may be harmed by drying either at a high temperature or for an extended period of time. The coating substance maltodextrin was found to be beneficial in limiting unexpected changes in avocado pulp subjected to infrared drying. The highest quality of dried avocado could be obtained via infrared drying of avocado pulp with 9% maltodextrin at 70 ºC, as illustrated by the exceptional retention of total polyphenols, total chlorophylls, and antioxidant activity, being 95.1, 95.2, and 94.4%, respectively. Moreover, the short drying time (35–55 min) led to the minimization of lipid oxidation and the absence of peroxide compounds in all sample [4
