일제강점기 한남권번과 권번시조

The purpose of this study is to examine the establishment process of Hannam-Gwonbeon during the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period and Sijo (formal poetry) works that introduced Hannam-Gwonbeon, and to analyze their content and meaning. The main characteristic of Gisaeng (female entertainers) during the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period is that they escaped from the status of government-gisaeng. As these changes had a significant impact on the Gisaeng system and Gisaeng activities, before analyzing their works, this study attempted to explore the change process of the Gisaeng system. Based on this, this study attempted to grasp the meaning of Hannam-Gwonbeon by examining Hannam-Gwonbeon’s establishment process and the Sijo’s works that introduced Hannam-Gwonbeon.
 During the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period, after the abolition of the government-gisaeng system, as the Gisaeng crackdown decree was implemented, the Gisaeng guild was established to manage these people of Gisaeng. Gisaeng was recognized as one of the occupations that make a living from dancing and singing. In a capitalist society, Gisaeng’s various activities became a means of making money.
 Hannam-Gwonbeon were a Gwonbeon, the majority of whom were from Namdo (southern Jeolla province). Although its size was smaller than other Gwonbeon guilds, their Namdo Sori gained popularity as a special talent, and they used that advantage as a competitive advantage. These characteristics of Hannam-Gwonbeon also appear in their Sijo works. ‘Wolgyehwa (laurel flowers; 月桂花)’ and ‘Nambangjigang (南方之强)’ would mean their effort and sincerity, and at the same time, they mean those Gisaeng (Gwonbeon) with outstanding skills from Namdo. Through this, it can be seen that Hannam-Gwonbeon’s unwavering momentum and hope for eternity.
 These Gisaeng of Hannam-Gwonbeon learned their skills with constant effort and sincerity amidst the changes of the times and sought to be recognized for their technical-artistic abilities through performances. For these Gisaeng, technical-artistic crafts were not simply a means to make money, but a means to prove their worth as artists with tradition and expertise. Therefore, Gisaeng during the imperial Japan’s forced occupation period should not be recognized only as a sexual object, but there is a need to re-identify as artists who continued the tradition and passed it on to future generations.

Role of Organization Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) in leveraging Program and Project Management Practices

Successful projects require appropriate tools and effective management practices. Managers need to have a clear insight into project goals and use outstanding skills to implement them accordingly. They also must maintain a balance between customer satisfaction levels and profit maximization goals. The Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) is among the critical tools for generating standardized outcomes in organizational projects. This study analysed the overall features of OPM3, its purposes, components, SWOT analysis and its key success factors. The researchers conducted an investigation among organizations that use the model in the UAE. They administered written questionnaires among the participants and analysed both the qualitative and qualitative data using tables and charts. Based on the findings, the main purpose of the model is to incorporate critical portfolio management and programs into organizational projects. The tool allows project managers to standardize measure and control the outcomes effectively. The major success factor is the generation of optimized outcomes since the OPM3 model allows for the continuous identification of gaps and improvement of processes. The major challenges associated with OPM3 implementation was rigidity and lack of clear governance structures in most organizations. The researchers conclude that written policies and procedures in addition to excellent management skills can maximize the benefits of OPM3 models among the UAE organizations.

Pt/MnO Interface Induced Defects for High Reverse Water Gas Shift Activity.

The implementation of supported metal catalysts heavily relies on the synergistic interactions between metal nanoparticles and the material they are dispersed on. It is clear that interfacial perimeter sites have outstanding skills for turning catalytic reactions over, however, high activity and selectivity of the designed interface-induced metal distortion can also obtain catalysts for the most crucial industrial processes as evidenced in this paper. Herein, the beneficial synergy established between designed Pt nanoparticles and MnO in the course of the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction resulted in a Pt/MnO catalyst having ≈10 times higher activity compared to the reference Pt/SBA-15 catalyst with >99 % CO selectivity. Under activation, a crystal assembly through the metallic Pt (110) and MnO evolved, where the plane distance differences caused a mismatched-row structure in softer Pt nanoparticles, which was identified by microscopic and surface-sensitive spectroscopic characterizations combined with density functional theory simulations. The generated edge dislocations caused the Pt lattice expansion which led to the weakening of the Pt-CO bond. Even though MnO also exhibited an adverse effect on Pt by lowering the number of exposed metal sites, rapid desorption of the linearly adsorbed CO species governed the performance of the Pt/MnO in the RWGS.

A novel hybrid cryptographic framework for secure data storage in cloud computing: Integrating AES-OTP and RSA with adaptive key management and Time-Limited access control

The rapid proliferation of cloud computing has necessitated advanced security mechanisms to safeguard sensitive data stored in remote servers. However, this paradigm shift has raised several security concerns, particularly safeguarding private information stored on faraway cloud servers. This study proposes a ground-breaking hybrid cryptographic framework for the secure data storage requirements of cloud computing. The framework incorporates time-limited access control, adaptive key management, and two strong encryption methods: RSA and Advanced Encryption Standard - One Time Password (AES-OTP). AES-OTP and RSA provide symmetric and asymmetric encryption levels to improve data confidentiality and integrity. With the introduction of an intelligent framework for key creation, distribution, and rotation through the adaptive key management component, the security of cryptographic operations is gradually increased. Additionally, time-limited access control helps to protect data privacy by imposing rigorous temporal constraints on data access and reducing security flaws. The effectiveness of the suggested framework is confirmed by thorough performance assessments, which show astonishing accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score values of 99.12%, 98.78%, 98.11%, and 98.56%. This demonstrates its outstanding skills in protecting private information from unauthorized access and guaranteeing its secrecy in cloud storage settings.

لاهور في قصص غلام عباس .. قصتي" اوور کوٹ: المعطف" و " کتبه: اللافتة" نموذجًا

Every writer has his or her narrative world, or distinct circle. It may be so broad or limited, but this does not matter as the success of the author draws on his or her talent and skill in presenting his or her art within this circle. This should be attained meticulously. Ghulam Abbas relied on his local environment while choosing his world of narration and his circle revolves around the city of Lahore, where he grew up witnessing its joys, sorrows, victories, and setbacks. With outstanding skill, he depicted its problems and cares for its people. Out of this local milieu, he attained worldwide fame through the extreme locality.
 In this respect, he resembles the Egyptian Najib Mahfouz, whose stories and novels took place inside the city of Cairo. The most prominent element in the stories of Ghulam Abbas is shedding light on the city’s cruelty to its people, especially the working class who show contrary to what they hide and try to coexist with that painful reality. This is evident through the “auwwarkaūt” and “katbah” stories. His stories also highlight the image of city life, crowds, high-rise buildings, buying and selling in the city hub, the image of street vendors over bridges, traffic, and jamming during rush hours of employees. The psychological state experienced by the residents of the city is depicted, too. Also handled are the crowded city, the psychological pressures on the simple employees, and the class disparity among the city's people, where the poor aspire to live on a level close to the rich of the city, but no way.. never

МЕЖДИСЦИПЛИНАРНЫЙ АСПЕКТ КАК МЕТОД ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫХ КОМПЕТЕНЦИЙ В ПРОЦЕССЕ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ МАТЕМАТИКИ

Currently, students of higher educational institutions are constantly in a huge flow of information, not only coming from everyday studies, but also in the flow of information that accompanies everyone in the modern information world. That is why the teacher is required to show outstanding skills in order to contribute to the development of students' interest in acquiring new knowledge and learning in general at each lecture or practical lesson. It is possible to increase interest in the discipline being studied if you organize the acquisition of knowledge within the educational process in such a way that the emphasis is placed on obtaining the knowledge necessary for further professional activity. In the first and second years of technical universities, the discipline "Higher Mathematics" is the most difficult for students. At the same time, in technical universities, the need to study mathematics is indisputable. In this paper we will demonstrate that with the help of a mathematical apparatus, problems that fall within the circle of physical study of electrical engineering are solved. That is why we believe that students, starting from the first year, need to be explained that the knowledge gained in the study of general education subjects will be used not only in the development of special disciplines, but also in further professional activities

For these professionals to work collaboratively, it is necessary that, during the training process, Pharmacy and Medicine students develop skills to ensure a quality clinical service, with respect for their performance and adequate coexistence with other professionals. Objective: This study aimed to describe a self-assessment of the Medicine and Pharmacy records in relation to their technical skills, their differences and similarities, as well as to assess their development during a program. Method: Educational study carried out remotely between August 2020 and August 2021. The participants were Pharmacy and Medicine students from a public teaching institution. Individual interviews were carried out and instruments for self-assessment of clinical competences were applied. Result: A total of 39 students participated in the research: 18 (46.2%) from Pharmacy and 21 (53.8%) from Medicine. Pharmacy students evaluated themselves positively regarding activities related to clinical competences, except for the implementation of a care plan and the identification of patients at risk of prevalent diseases. As for the curriculum, the evaluated course has three subjects that address the development of clinical competences. Of these, the students reported having developed scientific knowledge, updated scientific knowledge and effective communication. Medical students evaluated themselves positively in relation to their clinical competences, apart from those related to differential diagnosis, discussion with the health team and identification of failures in the health system. The course curriculum features 11 disciplines focused on care, and the students’ associated disciplines of a social nature with person-centered care. The most outstanding skills developed were empathy, compassion, integrity and respect, effective communication and anamnesis and obtaining sociocultural information. In addition, students from both courses reported little contact with other health professionals. Conclusion: The evaluated students have several insecurities, mainly related to clinical skills that require practice. Despite this, medical students showed greater apprehension of soft skills, which can facilitate the creation of bonds with patients and result in the quality of care.

Politics, Parties, People: Field Notes from Electoral Campaigns in Odisha|India

This report is about a critical analysis of elections in Odisha over the past few decades. Diverse social groups in the state have been politicised and mobilised for electoral purposes based on social cleavages, rather than common economic interest, ideology or leadership. A theoretical framework has been developed in almost every district to analyse and trace the processes of tradition and reconfiguration of the electoral landscape. It answers the questions: What message does the state hold for Parliament or assembly elections? How do the people, who belong to a state, respond to national and state leaderships? Our state has been receiving appreciation as a platform where mainstream politics unfolds and, in a significant way, shapes the national politics including the formation and stability of the government at the Centre, a trend that started in the post-Congress polity. But it may raise a lot of questions among the political pundits and strategic gurus about how the new style of election mechanism and campaign approach should be re-looked. “Naveen Raj” continues in Odisha with chief minister Naveen Patnaik’s unmatched leadership not only registering successive wins in elections but also touching minds and hearts. My paper does not waste so many words on the defeat the Congress, India’s oldest political party, in successive elections in the state. It does not also focus much on the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has been not accepted by people in Odisha despite changing election slogans from ‘vikash’ (development) to ‘kabastan’ (burial ground) and ‘Pakistan’ from one election to another. My paper attempts to study how leadership and style of approach in electoral politics causes landslide wins for Patnaik and the Biju Janata Dal. In 2019 general and state assembly elections, the Congress was on the backfoot from day one. The fight in Odisha was directly between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Patnaik. The first was known for his outstanding skill of 5P (passion, propaganda, promotion, publicity and progressiveness) and the second for his 3D effect (decency, discipline and difference). I will, however, also take look at lack of 3I (infrastructure, identity and ideology) in the electoral process.

Noncontact and High-Precision Sensing System for Piano Keys Identified Fingerprints of Virtuosity.

Dexterous tool use is typically characterized by fast and precise motions performed by multiple fingers. One representative task is piano playing, which involves fast performance of a sequence of complex motions with high spatiotemporal precision. However, for several decades, a lack of contactless sensing technologies that are capable of precision measurement of piano key motions has been a bottleneck for unveiling how such an outstanding skill is cultivated. Here, we developed a novel sensing system that can record the vertical position of all piano keys with a time resolution of 1 ms and a spatial resolution of 0.01 mm in a noncontact manner. Using this system, we recorded the piano key motions while 49 pianists played a complex sequence of tones that required both individuated and coordinated finger movements to be performed as fast and accurately as possible. Penalized regression using various feature variables of the key motions identified distinct characteristics of the key-depressing and key-releasing motions in relation to the speed and accuracy of the performance. For the maximum rate of the keystrokes, individual differences across the pianists were associated with the peak key descending velocity, the key depression duration, and key-lift timing. For the timing error of the keystrokes, the interindividual differences were associated with the peak ascending velocity of the key and the inter-strike variability of both the peak key descending velocity and the key depression duration. These results highlight the importance of dexterous control of the vertical motions of the keys for fast and accurate piano performance.

DEVELOPMENT OF LAW ENFORCERS’ COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN ТHE USA

Based on the study of the experience of training law enforcement officers in the United States, there has been stressed in the article on the need to improve the police training considering development of communicative and interpersonal skills. These skills as well as creative thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills are among the most needed for the professional efficiency of every law enforcement officer. The author considers that a new law enforcement agency serving the social needs and protecting the rights of citizens requires modern approaches to the police training. So, as the community-oriented policing is an important aspect of law enforcement work, police training academies should train their officers to interact effectively with public. Coming from the USA research outcomes, the core interpersonal competencies for law enforcement officers are identified as following: ability to use good judgment and to problem solve; capacity for empathy and compassion; capacity for multi-tasking; ability to demonstrate courage and to take responsibility; ability to be resourceful and show initiative; demonstrating assertiveness; possess and demonstrate integrity; capacity for engaging in teamwork and ability to collaborate. The contemporary methodologies like problem-based learning, communications-based instructions, and practical scenario training providing development of law enforcers’ communicative and interpersonal skills are analyzed in the article. Within training programs these methods integrate many of the educational results such as: thinking critically with the ability to analyze complex problems; locate, assess, and utilize significant educational resources; display outstanding skills related to written and oral communications; and develop into life-long learners by using their intellectual and content knowledge. The author says that the experience of the USA police training according to the mentioned sphere can be crucially useful for the police reform process in Ukraine.

긍재(兢齋) 김득신(金得臣, 1754~1822) 생애의 재구성

Geungjae (兢齋) Kim Deuk-shin (金得臣, 1754~1822) was a painter from the Yeong, Jeong, and Sun Dynasties. Born to the Kaesong Kim clan, a noble painter family of the late Joseon Dynasty, he entered the Dohwaseo in his teens and, for more than 44 years, played critical roles of a major painter, living the typical life of a painter during the late Joseon Dynasty. In addition to his well-known genre painting, he was one of the best painters of his time, presenting outstanding skills in almost all genres, including landscapes, figures, furry animals and flowers and birds. Nevertheless, many viewed him with limited perspectives, such as “a painter whose major inspiration was Kim Hong-do” and “a painter only known for genre painting.” Focusing on these aspects, this paper intends to reconstruct Kim Deuk-shin’s life and his influence on Korean painting history.
 Born to the Gaesong Kim clan and Shinpyung Han clan, both noble painter families of the late Joseon Dynasty, Kim Deuk-shin received rigorous education from an early age and became an official Dohwaseo painter in his teenage years. After the establishment of Jabidaeryungw hawon (the best painters of their time, temporarily recruited for royal court assignments in the late Joseon period) by Gyujanggak, he was recruited as one of the first Jabidaeryungwhawon and devoted himself to Gyujanggak activities for the next 37 years. He was known to be diligent in all his tasks, small or large, in addition to major painting duties including Gamdong (監董, a temporary official post to supervise and manage special projects such as civil engineering works or publication of books), royal portrait painter for Jeong Dynasty, and production of Hwaseongwonhaengdobyeong. With his talent and attitude, he was a trusted painter, being appointed several times as an official (burok, 付祿) during both Jung and Sun Dynasties.
 In addition to his official duties, Kim Deuk-shin was also active in his private works. He grew himself as a painter by interacting with important artists of the Joseon Dynasty, such as Kim Eung-hwan who came from a similar background, as well as Kim Hong-do and Lee In-moon. He received private orders through these personal relations, resulting in general paintings of various genres, as evidenced by his works such as Gosangugok-sihwabyeong and Hanjgangjooyouaheokdo cheob.

Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy and Financial and Calculation Skills Can Shape Different Profiles of Venture Intentions

The complexity of finances and access to financial markets is one of the main challenges facing an entrepreneur. However, not many studies examine the effect of financial skills on entrepreneurial intentions. Our research describes venture intentions, considering motivations, contextual factors and personal traits in different clusters, based on the strong sense of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the levels of financial literacy and numeracy skills. Results demonstrate that financial and numeracy skills and self-efficacy shape different profiles of potential entrepreneurs. The study shows that social motivations exert a favourable impact on entrepreneurial intentions only for those who firmly believe in their abilities or have high financial and numeracy skills. For those without outstanding skills or high self-efficacy, contextual factors play a key role in the decision to launch a new venture.
