Through his compositional contributions, Ferdo Wiesner Livadić enriched the Croatian (sacral) musical creativity of the age of Romanticism, realizing – alongside thirty church/sacral »small form« pieces – also one mass in Latin (Missa in C), and one in Croatian, with the title (Missa croatica pastoralis) as well as the titles of its parts/movements in Latin. By observing the autographical scores of the two Livadić’s masses, certain reflections regarding their similarities and differences had resulted; first of all, in terms of textual and language base, composition structure, performers’ ensamble, composing procedures and use of musical expression elements, their purpose, and finally, their artistic range and significance. Created at the time of predominance of small, chamber music forms, especially solo songs, piano miniatures and reveilles, Livadić’s masses, among a multitude of works of the composers of the time, and especially within the Croatian church musical heritage, mean the continuity of a multi-Century tradition of that music genre. While Missa croatica pastoralis is related to the pastoral (folk) one voice masses with the organ accompaniment (with inserted text/extensions of the Kajkavian dialect), the concerto vocal-orchestral Missa in C, with its musical features and its base on the international music vocabulary, manifests a compound of Classicist simplicity and early Romantic lyricism, representing the essence of Livadić’s creativity in the area of sacral music.

Our interest in the position and significance of the concert music of Ivan Jevtic in the development of this genre in the Serbian music of the second half of the 20th century is based on several facts. Judging from the number of concerts and the variety of their stylistic, aesthetic, technical, expressive and historical qualities, Jevtic comes across as a composer who was the pioneer of several particular and general tendencies in the development of Serbian concert music, especially when we have the following in mind: his relationship to the musical heritage; his aspirations to master new contemporary tendencies; the time of general stylistic turmoil; compositional techniques etc. The comparative analysis of three concerts: Concerto for Tuba, Cello Symphony and Concerto for Viola points to the basic elements of traditional heritage, his reshaping of this heritage, as well as the elements of modern musical expression in the works of this composer. The analyzed paths of a part of his entire oeuvre do not exemplify the complete development of the concert genre in the Serbian music of the second half of the 20th century but, alongside with other important aspects such as historical, aesthetic, technical etc. they assist us in a better understanding of the tendencies in the development of this genre in Serbia, but also of the tendencies in Serbian music after 1945.

limestone is one of the sedimentary rocks and one of the most extended materials of this group which is widely used for production of cement, glasswork industries, tile making and heat resistance. Therefore, a research experiment was conducted in 2020 at of Poz-E- Wazirabad and Qachandara of Samangan province in Afghanistan to compare the similarity and the differences of petrographic characteristics and chemical composition of limestone in both mines. The samples were taken from both the mines for spectrometric analyses at directorate of laboratories of ministry of mining. Besides, the slides were prepared from these samples and the mineral composition, structure and texture characteristics were studied under petrographic microscope in laboratory of Geology and Mines of Kabul Polytechnic University. The main objectives of this study were to know the similarities and differences in petrographic characteristics and chemical composition of both mines, which in case of more similarities and favorability of Qachandara limestone mine; it would be suggested as a good source for establishment of a cement factory and other dependent industries on limestone in this province. The results indicated a lot of similarities with minor differences in both the mines. The minor differences were the amount of calcium oxides which was 52.54% in Poz-E-Wazirabad which was reduced in Qachandara mine to 47.81%. The magnesium content of Qachandara limestone was about 4% richer than Poz-E-Wazirabad limestone mine. The Poz-E-Wazirabad limestone was white in color while the Qachandara limestone color was gray to black, which shows the existence of organic matter in composition of this mine. The structure of limestone in Wazirabad mine was biomorphic but the limestone structure in Qachandara mine was oolitic.

ABSTRACTFor centuries the Arctic has served as a stage of imagination and has inspired countless artists in different ways. Also the music genre of heavy metal frequently utilises the ‘north’ and the Arctic. This paper briefly explores how two heavy metal subgenres, black metal and Viking metal, approach and utilise narratives associated with the ‘north’. By using lyrics of black and Viking metal bands, different forms of utilisation come to the fore, ranging from narratives of death to the raging Northman. Also polar exploration finds musical expression and is a source for generating extreme conceptual settings.

In the musical creativity of composers of the XXI century, the issue of interaction of various national musical cultures remains relevant. The article discusses the features of the creative style of the Crimean Tatar composer Merzie Khalitova on the example of chamber and instrumental creativity. The analysis of the trio "in the rhythm of pink tones" for violin, trombone and piano, from the point of view of the interaction of national musical traditions and European musical thinking, is presented. The analysis of the work represents the characteristic trends in the development of chamber and instrumental music of the beginning of the XXI century. Means of musical expression aimed at revealing figurative semantics are also indicated. In each of his works, the composer finds an individual solution for the synthesis of folk elements and modern musical intonation means. It is possible to distinguish the ornamental melody and patterned rhythmics, which are variously reproduced by the composer, as the national basis of Merzie Khalitova's works.

Carbon and temperature effects on carbide formation in the carburized zone of M50NiL are of great importance because they can be used to control surface properties of bearings. A series of homogeneous alloys (with M50NiL as base composition) containing various levels of carbon in the range of 0.15% to 1.5% (in wt.%) and heat treated at temperatures between 650°C to 1100°C were selected for characterizations. Eleven samples were chosen for carbide characterization and chemical analysis and their identifications are listed in Table 1.Five different carbides consisting of M6C, M2C, M7C3 and M23C6 were found in all eleven samples examined as shown in Table 1. M6C carbides (with least carbon) were found to be the major carbide in low carbon alloys (<0.3% C) and their amounts decreased as the carbon content increased. In sample C (0.3% C), most particles (95%) encountered were M6C carbide with a particle sizes range between 0.05 to 0.25 um. The M6C carbide are enriched in both Mo and Fe and have a fee structure with lattice parameter a=1.105 nm (Figure 1).

The oral form-discrimination abilities of 18 orally educated and oriented deaf high school subjects were determined and compared to those of manually educated and oriented deaf subjects and normal-hearing subjects. The similarities and differences among the responses of the three groups were discussed and then compared to responses elicited from subjects with functional disorders of articulation. In general, the discrimination scores separated the manual deaf from the other two groups, particularly when differences in form shapes were involved in the test. The implications of the results for theories relating orosensory-discrimination abilities are discussed. It is postulated that, while a failure in oroperceptual functioning may lead to disorders of articulation, a failure to use the oral mechanism for speech activities, even in persons with normal orosensory capabilities, may result in poor performance on oroperceptual tasks.

Abstract. Nonhuman animals are typically excluded from the scope of social psychology. This article presents animals as social objects – targets of human social responses – overviewing the similarities and differences with human targets. The focus here is on perceiving animal species as social groups. Reflecting the two fundamental dimensions of humans’ social cognition – perceived warmth (benign or ill intent) and competence (high or low ability), proposed within the Stereotype Content Model ( Fiske, Cuddy, Glick, & Xu, 2002 ) – animal stereotypes are identified, together with associated prejudices and behavioral tendencies. In line with human intergroup threats, both realistic and symbolic threats associated with animals are reviewed. As a whole, animals appear to be social perception targets within the human sphere of influence and a valid topic for research.
