The Knowledge Transfer Process of Mor Lam Ruang Toh Klon Khon Kaen Style to Prisoners at Khon Kaen Central Prison

The objective of this research was to convey the art of performing Mor Lam Rueang Tor Klon Khon Kaen style, by transferring the singing and performing techniques to prisoners in Khon Kaen Central Prison and evaluate research achievements. The research method included document study and fieldwork, consisting of observation and interviews with experts. The research results were presented through a performance presentation. The data was analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. The results of the study are as follows. In terms of the knowledge transfer process of the performing arts of Mor Lam Rueang Tor Klon Khon Kaen style through the process of transferring the singing and performing techniques to prisoners in Khon Kaen Central Prison, the composer included morals, ethics, and teachings into the song. Prisoners involved in the performance drew lessons from the characters they played. The activities from the research helped prisoners relieve stress. Mor Lum evolved from the palm leaf books into different types of performances, such as Mor Lum Pheun, Mor Lum Klon, Mor Lum Moo, Mor Lum Sing, and Mor Lum Phi Fah. Each type of Mor Lum is presented differently. One common element for all types of Mor Lum is the morals, ethics, teaching, beliefs, and livelihood of Isaan people ingrained within every song. Currently, the type of Mor Lum that both the older and younger generation can gain most access to is Mor Lum Tor Klon. There are many styles of Mor Lum Rueng Tor Klon in the Isaan region, such as the Ubon style, Khon Kaen Style, Kalasin Style, and Mahasarakham style. However, the style that is the most popular today is the Khon Kaen style due to its easy-listening tune, easier access, and easier to perform. Although the Khon Kaen style can be further categorized into various sangwats, or sub-styles, such as Paw Inta style, Paw Rabiab style, or Chumphae style, listeners still prefer the Khon Kaen style. Currently, 90 percent of the popular Mor Lum groups in the Isaan Region are the Mor Lum Rueng Tor Klon groups in Khon Kaen. It can be assumed that when Isaan people hear Mor Lum music, they feel joy in their hearts. Those who work in other regions miss home even more whenever they hear the Mor Lum music. However, there is another group of people who are also from Isaan but their freedom to the outside world has been taken away. We know them as “prisoners”. Prisoners are those who committed crimes and are detained by the Department of Correction. The department is the last department down that judicial line, tasked with overseeing prisoners convicted by the court and rehabilitating them to return to society as good citizens (Jirathitikarn, 2011). Khon Kaen Central Prison is a Northeastern regional prison for prisoners with skills in local performances and Luk Thung and Mor Lum music. There are workshops to provide knowledge in local Isaan music performances, which are used for improving the behaviors of prisoners to be able to adapt themselves as good citizens of society, as well as using the skill to develop their minds or generate income after they are released. From the above statement, the researchers found that whether they are prisoners in prisons or normal people living in society, they all need entertainment to soothe their sorrows. Therefore, the target group of this research consisted of prisoners detained in prison. Although they are physically detained, they should be able to receive the same type of happiness as people living on the outside. Thus, the researchers used an Isaan local performance, Mor Lum Tor Klon, as a tool that provides entertainment, while being embedded with teachings, morals, and ethics. Additionally, prisoners would receive knowledge in singing and participate in a Mor Lum Tor Klon Khon Kaen Style performance. When the prisoners are released, they can use the knowledge and skills in Mor Lum to start their careers and be accepted back into society. The researchers believe that this research will benefit the prisoners in Khon Kaen Central Prison, as well as be used as a tool in preserving the arts and culture of Mor Lum Tor Klon Khon Kaen Style in the future.

Locus of control and performance pay: Evidence from US survey data

AbstractThis work examines the influence of locus of control on sorting into performance pay jobs. It uniquely examines different types of performance pay schemes, demonstrating sharp differences between them. Bivariate probit estimates indicate workers with an internal locus of control sort into individual schemes but not joint schemes. Wage equations reveal that adding locus of control modestly reduces the return to individual performance pay but that in more complete specifications, the return to an internal locus of control becomes vanishingly small, which suggests that its primary importance is in sorting (not only into performance pay but into education and occupation).

TRADITIONS AND INNOVATIONS AS DETERMINING FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN THEATRICAL ART

This article analyzes the trends in the use of the most important means of artistic expression in theatrical art and cinema, marked by the influence of evolutionary changes in modern cultural life and the emergence of new genre modalities in today's staging decisions, related to the ideological reorientation of social consciousness and the formation of innovative artistic features in the modern theater. The compositional portrait of modern theater highlights the possibilities of dramatic genre modeling, modern technologies and their transformational processes, which are interrelated with the democratization of Ukrainian society, and therefore artistic life, raising the tone of the national scene, cinema, and opening up new opportunities for stage art. A feature of the scientific research of symbolic forms in this area of art is the analysis of the possible addition of the mutual enrichment of theater and myth at the level of mythological narratives, status oppositions, plot matrices, communicative strategies and symbolic forms, a new mythocentric discourse of modern dramatic genre modeling. And also a multimedia lighting technician with the latest information and digital technologies and the possibilities of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the newest Ukrainian theater. The use of compositional techniques in combination with the latest technologies, AI in creating the atmosphere of a modern theater allows you to focus on the performers and the performance, and not on the complex decor. In addition, stage spaces are becoming more flexible, able to adapt to different types of performances and events. The use of the latest intellectual technologies is especially valuable and extraordinary. Modern theaters and Ukrainian cinema are constantly introducing advanced technologies to improve the impression of the audience. This may include the use of projection mapping, virtual and augmented reality, interactive elements and other innovations that help create a unique atmosphere and attract the audience.

Theoretic and experimental performance of a grid-connected photovoltaic system: Multiple prediction model of efficiency and annual energy generation

In this article, the performance of a 3.36 kWp grid-connected photovoltaic system (GCPVS) under warm and subhumid weather conditions and the development of a predictive mathematical model is presented. Climate data of the 2021 year were used to evaluate energy generation, different types of performance, and efficiency. The average annual yield, corrected yield, array, and final yields were 6.45 h/day, 6.18 h/day, 5.16 h/day, and 4.97 h/day, respectively. The overall annual mean capacity factor and efficiency ratios were 20.73% and 77.22%, correspondingly. Experimental data were analyzed and correlated by multivariate linear regression (MLR) prediction and simulation to validate models. The MLR analysis showed that the efficiency is highly dependent on the temperature of the PV modules and that climatic parameters significantly affect the efficiency and output electric power. The prediction models for PV module efficiency, system efficiency, and direct current energy exhibit an uncertainty of ±1.04%, ±0.57%, and ±35.38 kWh, one-to-one. The monthly generation was compared with results obtained by Energy3D simulation-free software, showing an absolute error of ±2.33 kWh. This information can be used as a methodological tool for predicting efficiency and power generation in direct current.

Analyzing the Tradeoff Between the Economic and Environmental Performance: The Case of the Chinese Manufacturing Sector

The so-called by-production approach, introduced by Murty and Russell [“On modeling pollution-generating technologies,” Department of Economics, University of California, Riverside, CA, USA, 2002], has provided researchers with an improved methodology for approximating polluting production technologies. However, the original by-production model is not capable of addressing the potential tradeoff between the economic and environmental performance since it does not impose any relationship between its economic and environmental subtechnologies. Although this link has been recently proposed in the extensions to the original by-production approach, the tradeoff framework remains ambiguous with respect to the weights that can be assigned to the economic and environmental subobjectives. This article proposes a novel approach for estimating the green productivity growth in the Chinese manufacturing sector based on the scenario analysis that simulates policy preferences. Our results suggest that environmental inefficiency is generally higher than economic inefficiency and that the annual growth rates of economic and environmental productivity are sensitive to the chosen scenario or the weights assigned to the different types of performance. We demonstrate that productivity growth can range from −0.43%, when only the environmental performance is considered to 2.56%, when only the economic performance is taken into account.

Daily strengths use and work performance: A self‐determination perspective

AbstractDrawing on self‐determination theory, this study examines how using personal strengths at work in the morning is associated with different types of performance throughout the workday. Momentary satisfaction of the needs for autonomy, relatedness and competence are proposed as mechanisms that differentially link strengths use to four different performance outcomes: task accomplishment, goal attainment, organizational citizenship behaviour and counterproductive work behaviour. We collected data from 216 Dutch employees in a large variety of sectors twice a day for one workweek (N = 1470 observations) using a smartphone application. Results of multilevel structural equation modelling showed that momentary satisfaction of the needs for autonomy and competence at noon mediated the positive relationship between morning strengths use and afternoon task accomplishment and goal attainment. Furthermore, satisfaction of the need for relatedness mediated the positive relationship between morning strengths use and afternoon organizational citizenship behaviour, but not the negative relationship between morning strengths use and counterproductive work behaviour. These findings deepen our understanding of strengths use theory and uncover novel insight on the temporal aspects of strengths use within a working day.

Disappearing Mermaids: Staging White Women's Mobility through Aquatic Performance at the New York Hippodrome

The New York Hippodrome theatre brought together many different types of performance on its massive stage. Its opening production in 1905, for instance, included circus acts, a ballet, and a fictionalized Civil War battle (Fig. 1). Many of the acts focused on a key feature in the theatrical environment, a water tank beneath the apron of the stage that could be filled to a fourteen-foot depth. High divers plunged into the tank; in shows with an “ice ballet,” its water was frozen into a skating rink; for a production of HMS Pinafore, a replica ship floated in its water with Brooklyn Navy Yard sailors in the rigging. Yet one tank act repeated and was recalled more than any of the others: a phalanx of women in martial costumes who marched solemnly, row after row, into the water and disappeared.

Dancers as diplomats? Quiet diplomacy and post‐conflict geopolitics in the 1990 Cambodian National Dance Company Tour to the UK

AbstractThis paper examines the relationship between performance and diplomacy during the 1990 Cambodian National Dance Company Tour to the UK. The tour stemmed from Oxfam UK's Kampuchea Campaign, which attempted to restore bilateral aid to the State of Cambodia by pushing for international recognition and a brokered peace settlement. Contributing to geographical work on diplomacy, the paper examines the different agents involved in the tour and their response to the dancers as diplomatic actors, examining the different types of performance in operation and their relationship to diplomacy. Dance was often oriented towards geopolitical ends, but there were also moments when dancers used their artistic performances to open up new modes of subjectivity and identity. The paper attends to these experiences and to how the dancers' actions extend existing conceptions of diplomatic subjectivity by considering vulnerability. In examining these dynamics, the paper also contributes to existing work on art and geopolitics, both through its diplomatic focus and its analysis of how diplomatic and creative practices were intertwined through an aesthetic of quietness. It thus attends to how geopolitical aesthetics matter, and how, in this instance, quiet aesthetics were a mark of international disempowerment.

전시회 직원의 문화적 기능이 조직성과와 충성도에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

This study focused on exhibition employee’s plural dimensions of cultural intelligence and its effect on different types of performance and their loyalty to their organization in South Korea. The objectives were to identify each key dimension of cultural intelligence and its effects on exhibition employee performance and organizational loyalty. The study sample constituted of 237 exhibition employees present in international exhibitions in Seoul and its surroundings. The findings showed significant results for most of the dimensions of cultural intelligence on practical performance and partial significance on the. Additionally, results demonstrated a strong correlation between performance and loyalty. The results of the study provided new insights regarding cultural intelligence as an important factor for the performance of exhibition employees and underlined the importance of further research on cultural intelligence in the MICE industry.

Does public managers' type of education affect performance in public organizations? A systematic review

AbstractAlthough scholars agree that public managers' education could affect performance in public organizations, no attempt has been made to synthesize the empirical evidence on this relationship. Consequently, we ask, do public managers with a general management education, such as an MPA, or a specialist education, such as an MD in the context of a hospital, affect different types of performance in public organizations? Based on a preregistered systematic literature review, we find 548 effect sizes from 50 quantitative studies by screening more than 12,000 potentially eligible studies. Our meta‐regression analyses show that specialist managers have a statistically significant small average advantage on field‐specific performance compared to other managers, and that generalist managers have a statistically significant small average advantage on financial performance compared to other managers. Based on these results, we recommend that future research investigate the theoretical linkages between public managers' education and performance in public organizations.

Folk-modern dance as the method of development choreographic skills for performers in aerial acrobatics and pylon sports

Aerial silks and pylon sports are technical and aesthetic directions that help develop the physical qualities of the performer, but it is possible to improve their choreographic skill, which is a component of theperformance, due to the folk-modern classes. Due to the classes in choreography, children and adults improve their performing skills, develop artistry and character, in the process of forming technical qualities. Folk dance develops the performer's acting skills, helps to get acquainted with different types of performance and create a unique national style during the performance of aerial acrobatics. Performance with the use of folk choreography are more emotionally saturated, bright, characteristic, they convey the feelings of the performers, their belonging to a certain national stratum. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to determine the influence of folk-stage and folk-modern choreography on the development of performing abilities in aerial acrobatics and pole sports. The issue of choreographic training of athletes in technical and aesthetic sports, such as artistic and athletic gymnastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming, etc., as well as the involvement of folk and stage choreography in this process, was studied by such scientists as Rumba O.H. (2006), V.Yu. Sosina (2009), V.G. Todorova (2018) and others. Methodological recommendations in folk-stage choreography were studied in the work of modern scientists on folk-stage choreography, such as E. Zaitsev and Yu. Kolesnichenko (2007), etc.The issue of the development of such directions as pylon sports, aerial silks, rings, and hammocks was studied by scientists such as Hanna Oleynyk (2017), Irina Kartali (2018), Steven Santos (2013), Pony Poison (2013), and others. However, the question of using folk-modern as a method of choreographic training of performers in aerial acrobatics and pole sports has not been raised in modern literature yet. Due to our research, we have studied in detail the conducted scientific works devoted to the application of folk-stage choreography in the process of training performers in technical and aesthetic sports, and developed a program for improving choreographic skills in such areas as aerial acrobatics and pylon sports.

Curvilinear Relationships Between Age and Job Performance and the Role of Job Complexity

Abstract Despite suggestions that work performance varies with age, the empirical evidence is inconclusive and contradictory. Possible reasons for this are the lack of differentiation between different types of performance and a naive assumption of a negative linear relationship between age and task performance across the working lifespan. With this study we question and revisit these expectations. We take a lifespan perspective to explore differential and curvilinear relationships between age (measured as chronological age) and three types of task performance (task proficiency, proactivity, and adaptivity), moderated by job complexity (measured as cognitive demands). Using Bayesian polynomial regression on survey data from 903 employees, we tested the relationships between age and each performance type, with job complexity as a moderator. The data indicated a U-shaped age–adaptivity relationship (main effects for job complexity) and an S-shaped age–proactivity relationship that was more pronounced under low job complexity (interaction effect). We identify the turning points for these changes, which show midlife as a critical period for changes in performance where the job context itself shapes the gradient and direction of these changes. Our findings provide crucial evidence that different types of job performance vary by age and the role of perceived job complexity in explaining trajectories in proactivity and adaptivity. Implications for job design, organizational interventions, and human resource management are discussed.

Specificity of Creative Universalism of the Ukrainian Diaspora Bandurists

The purpose of the research is to determine the vectors of creative universalism in the activities of bandura artists of the Ukrainian diaspora of the 20th – early 21st centuries. The article analyzes the principles and manifestations of creative universalism of the bandura art of the Ukrainian diaspora. The personalities of bandura artists of the diaspora, whose work has become a manifestation of universalism in the context of actualizing the need to generalize and analyze the achievements of bandura art abroad as part of Ukrainian musical culture, are highlighted. The research methodology involves the use of historical, axiological, musicological and cultural approaches and methods. They allowed considering the activities of bandura players in a non-national environment (historical approach), the value of their achievements in various vectors of creativity (axiological approach), and comprehensively present the contribution of bandura players to the world treasury of Ukrainian culture from the standpoint of universalism (musicological and culturological approaches). The scientific novelty of the research lies in the introduction into scientific circulation of the analysis of creative activity and achievements of bandura artists in the Ukrainian diaspora from the standpoint of universalism, priority of the type of activity or their synergy. Conclusions. In the bandura art of the diaspora during the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, the performing direction of activity has been defined as a priority (leading one). It covers different types of performance as a soloist or participant, conductor of a bandura ensemble, recording activities or a combination of some or all of these types. Auxiliary areas are such areas as design (substantiation of types of bandura models and their manufacture); composition (creation of author’s compositions, arrangements, arrangements for personal use and students or followers); pedagogical and methodical (teaching and formation of game methods); research and journalistic (publishing scientific articles, monographs and press publications); administrative and organizational (management of educational institutions, centres, management of teams, publications); managerial and organizational (preparation of concert, recording, publishing, scientific and festival events), etc.

Corporate Social Responsibility of SMEs: Learning Orientation and Performance Outcomes

Responsibility and sustainability are today a key part of doing business globally. However, the attention of scholars and policymakers has mainly been on large multinational enterprises, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) receiving less attention. Recent studies have noted the importance of learning for SMEs to engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR), but it is not yet known how the learning orientation of SMEs impacts their CSR, and how the development impacts the internationalization and performance of SMEs, which are research gaps that recent studies have noted. Shedding light on those dynamics is also important from a practical perspective since in most countries SMEs constitute a large majority of firms in both amounts and total employment. The present study contributes by illustrating how CSR impacts different types of performance in SMEs, and how the learning orientation of SMEs predetermines their CSR. Regression analyses conducted on an empirical sample of Finnish SMEs indicate that CSR in SMEs has an impact on certain types of performance and that their learning orientation determines their CSR. Therefore, the study contributes to the literature on responsibility and sustainability in SMEs, and to that SME internationalization, by shedding light on the antecedents and outcomes of CSR for SMEs.

Reliability Analysis of Multiperformance Multistate System Considering Performance Conversion Process

A large variety of real engineering systems operate with multiple performance measures that are multistate in nature. These systems are usually modeled as multiperformance multistate systems (MPMSSs). However, existing MPMSS models fail to consider an important aspect, i.e., the performance conversion process. For example, in a combined heat and power (CHP) generating unit, apart from the output heat and electricity, decision-makers are also interested in the unit's capacity to convert gas into electricity and heat. The latter is related to the performance conversion process. This article proposes a framework for the reliability evaluation of performance conversion-based MPMSS. In the proposed MPMSS model, the couplings among different types of performances inside the components are quantified into the multistate performance conversion matrix. The performance conversion structure functions are proposed to derive system performance conversion capability based on the conversion capabilities of the components. Two reliability evaluation methods considering the steady-state performance conversion process and the continuous-time performance conversion process are proposed, respectively. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the developed methods.

Job insecurity and employee performance: examining different types of performance, rating sources and levels

ABSTRACT We examine the relationship between job insecurity (JI) and performance (i.e., adaptivity, proactivity, task performance) from a multilevel perspective. We suggest that different behavioural responses will be triggered depending on whether the JI refers to an employee’s relative JI within a team or a team’s collective JI. An individual employee’s relative JI within a team may evoke a withdrawal reaction (i.e., diminished performance) because the individual experiences the insecurity as a personal issue (one which does not affect the rest of the team as much; i.e., a “person-at-risk” situation). However, when JI is experienced as a collective phenomenon (one that affects the entire team as a whole because of the shared context, i.e., a “job-at-risk” situation), employees may demonstrate higher performance as they are driven by job preservation motives. We incorporated both individual employee and supervisor ratings as they have complementary value in evaluating performance. Data was obtained from 53 teams, including 403 employees and 53 supervisors. Team’s collective JI was associated with higher supervisor-rated performance at the team-level, both in terms of adaptivity and proactivity but not in terms of task performance. The employee’s relative JI within a team was associated with reduced self-rated performance in terms of both adaptivity and task performance.

Video-Island

This practice-based research focuses on the film Ínsula (Insular in English) to explore ways of conducting, intertwining, and assembling performing bodies with audio-visual performance, through the creation of original dispositifs. It expands relations between different types of performance with cinematographic methodology and unique approaches to editing, to suggest a new term, “cine-performance,” centered on the action and modification of the performing body by the cinematographic apparatus. Performance is an embodied intervention in the world, an instrument for assembling / disassembling territories and languages, a visual and sound composition of the cinematic apparatus. Cine-performance is an expressive potential of the multiple compositions between bodily and audio-visual performance. Through it, live performance is embodied in image through audio-visual capture and the camera eye’s and the editing process’s reconfiguration of the human body. Performances can be reassembled on a single screen, or through multiple arrangements on a variety of screens. I therefore propose the construction of cinematic montage in spatial and temporal layers, which combines poetic potentialities between bodily and audio-visual performances. Cine-performance uses the language of cinema to expose and investigate the relationship between performance and its specific context (site, environment, historicity) in order to materialize in sound and image the most ephemeral and immaterial aspects of any action involving the body. And this relationship depends on a performing body that assembles and conceives of a cinematic enunciation within the performance itself, which activates and calls upon cinematic genres to transduce performance into an audio-visual work.

The Many Faces of Performative Politics: Satires of Statesman Bernhard von Bülow in Wilhelmine Germany

ABSTRACT While historical and contemporary thinkers have described politics as theater, this article moves beyond this representation of politics to understand how performance was central to politics around the turn of the twentieth century. It does so through an analysis of a large volume of hitherto unstudied caricatures of the German statesman Bernhard von Bülow. While historians usually describe satire merely in a complementary or illustrative manner, this article analyzes it in a structural manner. This analysis does not serve to understand Bülow personally nor his politics, but constitutes a case study that demonstrates broader changes in the nature of politics. The article argues that caricaturists used metaphors of different types of performances, which built on tradition and played into new lifestyles, to reflect on how mass communication became constitutive of modern politics. Moreover, this metaphorical stage on which politicians performed represented the platform of the mass press in politics itself.

Disposal of lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries in the agro-industrial complex

With the increase in the total amount of energy-saturated agricultural machinery (AM), the question of their negative impact on the environment by the end of the life cycle, namely during the period of utilization and processing of components, is becoming more acute. We are talking about environmentally hazardous elements of decommissioned equipment, which are rarely taken into account at the end of the life cycle of the AM, namely rechargeable batteries (batteries). In connection with this emerging problem, it is necessary to consider its technical and practical solution. This paper presents the norms of battery life of different types of performance, depending on the modes and operating conditions, as well as the operating time of the rolling stock. The design features of each type of batteries and ways of their disposal are studied.

Salary Cap, Organizational Gap, and Catch-up in the Performance of NBA Teams: A Two-Stage DEA Model Under Heterogeneity

This paper evaluates National Basketball Association teams performance using a two-stage approach under a metafrontier framework. Our approach decomposes overall efficiency into salary-cap and on-court efficiency. Organizational gaps between different organizational structures are calculated as well. The introduction of the salary cap as an important element for a competitive market preventing monopoly formation allows the examination of the effects on different types of performance. Findings reveal that teams experience increased performance while organizational gaps decline. Moreover, a [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] convergence analysis reveals convergence patterns. Finally, the catch-up index denotes that the speed of convergence increases, especially after the salary cap policy implementation.
