This standard can be used to request and receive the results of testing programs by educational institutions and employers. This information includes one test- taker's identification, test identification, testing conditions, scoring results, and test normalization analysis including national, regional, and local norms. Although TS 138 can accommodate the request for and transmission of various testing results—ACT, SAT, GRE, and GMAT, for example—this particular implementation guide can be used for sending TOEFL testing results only. The Segment Summary contains all the segments in the X12 transaction set, but only those segments marked with “*” are used in reporting TOEFL test results. The subset of segment and data element details contained in this implementation guide accommodate all requirements to report TOEFL testing results.

  • The Trombone Sonatas of Richard A. Monaco Viii
    3T7? No. THE TROMBONE SONATAS OF RICHARD A. MONACO DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS By John A. Seidel, B.S., M.M. Denton, Texas December, 19 88 Seidel, John A., The Trombone Sonatas of Richard A. Monaco, A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works by J.S. Bach, Paul Creston, G.F. Handel, Paul Hindemith, Vincent Persichetti, and Others. Doctor of Musical Arts in Trombone Performance, December, 1988, 43 pp., 24 musical examples, bibliography, 28 titles. This lecture-recital investigated the music of Richard A. Monaco, especially the two sonatas for trombone (1958 and 1985). Monaco (1930-1987) was a composer, trombonist and conductor whose instrumental works are largely unpublished and relatively little known. In the lecture, a fairly extensive biographical chapter is followed by an examination of some of Monaco's early influences, particularly those in the music of Hunter Johnson and Robert Palmer, professors of Monaco's at Cornell University. Later style characteristics are discussed in a chapter which examines the Divertimento for Brass Quintet (1977), the Duo for Trumpet and Piano (1982), and the Second Sonata for Trombone and Piano (1985). The two sonatas for trombone are compared stylistically and for their position of importance in the composer's total output. The program included a performance of both sonatas in their entirety. Tape recordings of all performances submitted as dissertation requirements are on deposit in the library of the University of North Texas.

  • Turbofolk Reconsidered
    Alexander Praetz und Matthias Thaden – Turbofolk reconsidered Matthias Thaden und Alexander Praetz Turbofolk reconsidered Some thoughts on migration and the appropriation of music in early 1990s Berlin Abstract This paper’s aim is to shed a light on the emergence, meanings and contexts of early 1990s turbofolk. While this music-style has been exhaustively investigated with regard to Yugoslavia and Serbia, its appropriation by Yugoslav labour migrants has hitherto been no subject of particular interest. Departing from this research gap this paper focuses on “Ex-Yugoslav” evening entertainment and music venues in Berlin and the role turbofolk possessed. We hope to contribute to the ongoing research on this music relying on insights we gained from our fieldwork and the interviews conducted in early and mid-2013. After criticizing some suggestions that have been made regarding the construction of group belongings by applying a dichotomous logic with turbofolk representing the supposedly “inferior”, this approach could serve to investigate the interplay between music and the making of everyday social boundaries. Drawing on the gathered interview material we, beyond merely confirming ethnic and national segmentations, suggest the emergence of new actors and the increase of private initiatives and regional solidarity to be of major importance for negotiating belongings. In that regard, turbofolk events – far from being an unambiguous signifier of group loyalty – were indeed capable to serve as a context that bridged both national as well as social cleavages. Introduction The cultural life of migrants from the former Yugoslavia is a subject area that so far has remained to be widely under-researched.

  • Ranko Matasović
    DOI: 10.26346/1120-2726-143 A universal about adnominal number agreement Ranko Matasović Department of Linguistics, University of Zagreb, Croatia <[email protected]> Adnominal agreement can be defined as agreement in the domain of the noun phrase (NP), whereby the modifiers of the noun agree in categories like gender, number and case with the head noun. In many languages, including English, the modifiers agree with the head noun in number, cf. the English opposition between this book and these books. Likewise, many languages use the unmarked form of the noun (usually identical to the singular form) with numer- als higher than one in numeral constructions (cf. Turkish iki kitap ‘two books’, where kitap ‘book’ is the unmarked, singular form), while other languages, such as English, use the number-marked form of the noun in such numeral construc- tions (cf. English two books, with books in the plural). This paper uses a geneti- cally and areally balanced sample of 100 languages to show that languages like Turkish, in which nouns are unmarked for number in numeral constructions (with numerals above ‘one’), tend not to have adnominal number agreement. Although there are a few counter-examples to this universal, the correlation between the two features (having nouns unmarked for number in numeral constructions and lacking adnominal number agreement) is statistically highly relevant. We also show that this typological universal is not a consequence of different areal biases in the distribution of the features involved, i.e. that it is not a contact phenomenon. Lastly, we discuss the theoretical relevance of our findings and their implications for Jan Rijkhoff’s theory of ‘Seinsarten’ (Rijkhoff 2002, 2008).

Miner. pages cm. — (Baker series in peace and conflict studies) Summary: “Since the end of the Cold War, a new dynamic has arisen within the international system, one that does not conform to established notions of the state’s monopoly on war. In this changing environment, the global community must decide how to respond to the challenges posed to the state by military threats, political and economic decline, and social fragmentation. This insightful work considers the phenomenon of state failure and asks how the international community might better detect signs of state decay at an early stage and devise legally and politically legitimate responses. This collection of essays brings military and social historians into conversation with political and social scientists and former military officers. In case studies from the former Yugoslavia, Somalia, Iraq, and Colombia, the distinguished contributors argue that early intervention to stabilize social, economic, and political systems offers the greatest promise, whereas military intervention at a later stage is both costlier and less likely to succeed”— Provided by publisher.
