Il cembalaro del re alla sbarra? Pascal Taskin e i falsi Ruckers.
No full textLa falsificazione di clavicembali Ruckers e Couchet ammodernati era praticata molto diffusamente nell’Europa del XVIII secolo, soprattutto in Francia. Almeno cinque esemplari tuttora esistenti di tali sofisticazioni, conservati a Bruxelles, Lisbona, Edimburgo, Amburgo e Milano, sono passati sorprendentemente per le mani di Pascal Taskin, il più famoso cembalaro parigino del Settecento nonché fornitore della casa reale francese. Al momento la natura fraudolenta del suo operato non è dimostrabile con certezza assoluta, tuttavia diversi indizi fanno sorgere il sospetto che Taskin abbia assecondato a proprio vantaggio contraffazioni realizzate da altri o che ne sia stato il responsabile diretto. Gli strumenti Ruckers/Couchet debitamente aggiornati da Taskin erano prodotti «molto preziosi» per i contemporanei, secondo quanto affermato dall’Encyclopédie Méthodique nel 1785, così come lo erano già stati anni prima quelli rimodernati dal costruttore di cui Taskin ha ereditato direttamente la bottega, François Blanchet. E guarda caso un ulteriore inautentico cembalo Ruckers, oggi alla Yale University di New Haven, è passato per le mani proprio di Blanchet. Insomma, un classico movente economico e un precedente ingombrante che di certo aiutano ad addensare le ombre sulla figura del celebre "facteur de clavecins et garde des instruments de musique du roi"
The study of Taskin inverse choice
No full textTaskin is one of the authorities of poesy in which the poet can use a long syllable instead of two short syllables, but taskin inverse choice (the two short syllables instead of one long syllable) is not true, in terms of prosody researchers. However, in the poetry of the old and more recent periods, poetry is seen where taskin inverse choice have been used. Taskin inverse, although apparently in imitation of Arabic poetry (transformation a Mafaeelon to Mafaelaton) but often are used in revolving meters (dawri) that specific for Persian poetry and through vav (o) e gheyr e dawri, with transformation a long syllable center hemistich into two short syllables, the meters of “ouble Mafoul o Faelaton” has changed to the “Mafoul Faelat o Mafaeel o Faelaton” that as history in the lyrics of Moezzi, Attar and Awhadi and especially Khaghani, and also this option of meters Hazaj e Akhrab”Double Mafoul o Faelaton” is evident in the poems of Khaghani & Ghavvami. Taskin inverse choice sometimes has applied to elements of Mafaylon and Mafolon and changed this elements to Mafaelaton and Moftaelon that is used in poetry of Molavi and Hazin Lahiji. This paper, examining the various poetical works, concludes as follows: For distinguishing whether or not the dawri of the poetries that has mixed meters with dawri and non-dawri is relying on the couplets dominant meter, First, we recognize original meter if the original meter was non ـ dawri should applied dawri for other couplets, and this is the result of Taskin choice usage. This blending in Mozare e Akhrab verb root meter, observed in the poems of Anvari, Khaghani, Athir and Seyf, that by use of Taskin in the middle of some non ـ dawri verses with meters “Mafoul o Faelat o Mafaeel o Faelaton” changed their meter to dawri “Double Mafoul o Faelaton”. This subject is more fancy than musical. But if the original meter was non-dawri, should be verses meter that are dawri the result of Taskin choice usage. Sometimes, poets by using Taskin inverse choice in the middle of some dawri verses, and cause them to become non-dawri, and have been combining two meters in a poem. The musical fancy in Hazaj e Akhrab meter “Double Mafoul o Mafaeelon” is evident in Khaghani & Ghavvami’s lyrics and also has seen in the Mozar e Akhrab verb root meter “Double Mafoul o Faelaton” in poetry of Moezzi, Attar and Awhadi and above all in Khaghani’s poetry. Taskin inverse choice is more evident in Khorasani style poetry and in odes more yield from the non-dawri “vav” (o) that can be removed “vav” (o) which became a fancy and writing, changed the meter to dawri for more melodious. In that case, the reduced heavy meter and meters of both lines was dawri. In sonnets mostly the word of the middle verses connects the last syllable of the second pillar to the first syllable of the third pillar. Thus Manipulation hypothesis scribes, the “vav” (o) in the middle of the hemistich, is null at least in these sonnets. Taskin inverse choice or to follow the Arab prosody or unconsciously, are used in Mafaeelon element in Mawlawī poetry and in poetry Mafoulon pillar doleful and some contemporary poets. This choice in pillar is permissible under two conditions: first, that it does not become irregular pillar, but to become the same pillar. Such as: Mafaeelon to Mafaelaton or Mafoulon to Moftaelon. Second, it was not be in place rhyming because may change rhyme syllables. Taskin is also for the same reason, should not occur in the rhyme syllable and if does, he should be upheld in all verses couple. By accepting the fact that “Mostafel o Mostafel o Mostafal o Fa” is the original meters of quatrain, the problem of Taskin inverse choice is canceled in quatrain meter.
Counterfeit Ruckers Instruments in the MIM Collection: A Case Study of the So-Called “Ruckers-Taskin” Harpsichord
No full textThe use of archeometrical tools has shed light on the true history of the so-called “Ruckers-Taskin” harpsichord (Musical Instruments Museum, Brussels, inv. 3848), an instrument that is neither a Ruckers nor a Taskin but a French instrument from c. 1695, falsified around 1750 by Antoine Vater and ravalé by Pascal Taskin in 1774

Evaluasi Program Pengentasan Kemiskinan Berbasis Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (Studi Kasus pada Program Gerdu-taskin di Kabupaten Malang)
No full textThe biggest issue of national economic development is the high rate of poverty. Several efforts and solutions in the form of financial help program had been conducted by the government to overcome poverty problems, especially through an integrated act to overcome poverty program (Gerdu-Taskin).This program aimed to decrease poor-people through self-independency using human developmental approach, enterprises, and environment; on 2007, which was developed to be the link of social economic security (Japes). Malang, one of district in East Java, became one of district who got financial help program. Therefore, this study aimed to examine therole of Gerdu-Taskin in powering up the poor-people and identifying each motivating and demotivating factors for Gerdu-Taskin to increase social welfare in the Districtof Malang. This study was taken place at Pandanrejo village, the subdistrict of Pagak, the District of Malang. It used explorative study by applying descriptive qualitativemethod. The result of study investigated that; first, the Gerdu-Taskin through the Financial Controlling Unit effectively played important role in powering up andimproving the people-self-independency, especially in the study area at the south of Malang. Second, the implementation of Gerdu-Taskin program through “Anggrek” Financial Controlling Unit is as one of study area that effectively played important role in improving the rural-area institutional development. Third, the Gerdu-Taskin played important role in improving the social welfare in the District of Malang. The positive correlation between the both is able to be a role model to overcome poverty issues at other areas. Fourth, there are some problems appeared on the process of implementation of Gerdu-Taskin in Malang were the limited funds, corruption, the troubled-funds, the strong intervention of rural-area apparatus, the low support fromboth rural-area institution and the rural-area government, and the coordination among the manager programs in the district/ city had not yet gone well. Fifth, there were some advantages in Gerdu-Taskin program which was conducted by UPK in study area of Malang were the circulating of funds went well, the competency of staff management was professional, skillful, especially the people around the area
Response in vitro of lignin degrading fungi to single or combined applications of a biochar and a compost humic acid
No full textThe fungi Stereum hirsutum, Irpex lacteus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Bjerkandera adusta, Trametes versicolor and Pleurotus ostreatus were treated in vitro with a biochar (BC) from red spruce wood at doses of 0.2% (w/v, BCLD) and 1% (BCHD), the BC water extract (BCWE) at doses of 0.2% (w/v, BCWELD) and 1% (BCWEHD), a compost humic acid (HA) at a concentration of 200 mg L-1and combinations BCWE-HA. All BC treatments stimulated P. ostreatus growth (up to 26%). T. versicolor growth was increased (up to 10%) and reduced (down to 33%) by BCLDand BCHD, respectively. All the other fungi were always inhibited by BC (down to 59% for B. adusta with BCHD). BCWELDincreased hyphal elongation of B. adusta and T. versicolor up to 22% and 12%, respectively, whereas BCWEHDslightly reduced that of B. adusta. In general, both HA alone and all combinations BCWE-HA at both doses significantly stimulated mycelial growth of B. adusta, T. versicolor and P. ostreatus (up to 22% for B. adusta) or were irrelevant. These findings indicate that when BC is incorporated in soil, BC activity in vitro on ligninolytic fungi might be considerably modified by the contents of water and humic substances present in soil
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Adsorptive removal of ascertained and suspected endocrine disruptors from aqueous solution using plant-derived materials
No full textThe present study deals with the use of low-cost plant-derived materials, namely a biochar, spent coffee grounds, spent tea leaves, and a compost humic acid, for the adsorptive removal from water of two estrogens, 4-tert-octylphenol (OP) and 17-β-estradiol (E2), and two pesticides, carbaryl and fenuron, each spiked at a concentration of 1 mg L−1. Kinetics and adsorption isotherms have been performed using a batch equilibrium method to measure the sorption capacities of the adsorbents towards the four molecules. Adsorption constants were calculated using the linear, Freundlich, and Langmuir models. Kinetics data obtained evidenced a rapid adsorption of each compound onto both biochar and coffee grounds with the attainment of a steady-state equilibrium in less than 4 h. Significant differences among the adsorbents and the compounds were found regarding the model and the extent of adsorption. In general, the estrogens were adsorbed more quickly and in greater amounts than the less hydrophobic pesticides, following the order: OP > E2 > carbaryl > fenuron. The ranges of Freundlich constants obtained for OP, E2, carbaryl, and fenuron onto the sorbents were 5049–2253, 3385–206, 2491–79, and 822–24 L kg−1, respectively. The maximum values of constants were obtained for biochar, except for OP that was more adsorbed by spent coffee grounds. Adsorption kinetic data followed a pseudo-second-order model, thus indicating the occurrence of chemical interactions between the compounds and the substrates. The remarkable sorption capacities of all adsorbents towards the four molecules suggest the valuable exploitation of these materials for decontamination purposes, such as the treatment of wastewater before a feasible recycle in soil
Natural-based antibiofilm and antimicrobial peptides from microorganisms
No full textAs the resistance to antimicrobial molecules increases among bacteria, the need for new antimicrobial molecules increases. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP), which may be a new generation of antibiotic candidates, are important in this respect. AMPs are small, cationic and amphipathic peptide sequences. In eukaryotes, they are synthesized as a part of the immune system. Substantially, AMPs are discovered in all kingdoms of life such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Approximately 3,000 AMPs have been reported in the literature. However, most of these AMPs have been synthesized through chemical synthesis. Nature has a huge source of microorganisms, and in the literature, there is a tendency to increase every year the number of bacteria and fungus-derived AMPs thanks to their biotechnological importance. The exploration of AMP and antibiofilm peptide (ABP) producer microorganisms brings with it a lot of challenges experimentally. In this review study, we want to highlight the importance and challenge of these natural peptides derived from microorganisms. We will also propose a new explanation for ABPs
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
