Authors: Pichikov A. A. , Popov Y. V. , Yakovleva Y. A. , Salomatina T. A.
Published: December 2021

The pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has contributed to an increase in problems related to eating behavior and body image in the population. Various risk factors that have become relevant due to changes in the usual lifestyle have significantly affected the frequency of eating disorders in the adolescent population. This necessitated the adapting of new strategies for providing medical care in conditions of limited personal contact.The aim of the work is the methodological substantiation and systematization of modern approaches to the prevention and treatment of eating disorders, body image disorders and risk factors associated with them in adolescents in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the work is a comprehensive analysis of modern medical and social approaches and recommendations on the organization of assistance to adolescents with eating disorders and body image disorders, with a description of personal experience of using various interventions on an outpatient basis during the pandemic.Results: Prevention and treatment of eating disorders and body image disorders in adolescents during the pandemic should be aimed at specific risk factors those have proved to be the most relevant in connection with restrictive measures: involvement in body image-related social media content and active use of the media; reduction of physical activity with simultaneous increase in access to food; social isolation and reduction of social support; restriction of access to qualified care. The most reasonable approaches during the pandemic are the approaches focused on the family of a teenager using, if possible, remote forms of assistance.Conclusions: Currently, there are no norms and standards in the organization of assistance to adolescents with eating disorders and body image disorders in the pandemic context. However, the analysis of the implemented approaches aimed at various risk factors of these disorders will allow the use of the most effective preventive and therapeutic practices in the future.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: psychosis in epilepsy is more common than in the general population. The frequency of psychotic mental disorders varies from 0,5% to 10%. The article presents the dynamics of the development of the concept of epileptic psychosis, depending on the evolutionary approaches to the study of the problem of mental disorders in epilepsy. Materials and methods: the analysis of Russian—and English language articles in scientific databases on keywords from 1971 to 2011 was carried out. Results: the first systematic descriptions of mental disorders occurring in epilepsy date back to the 19th century. The contribution of foreign and domestic authors to the study of the problem is described. There are six main periods of the concept formation, including the definitions of the concept of epileptic psychosis, the dynamics of clinical manifestations, the role of the influence of biological, personal and social factors in the genesis and development of psychotic disorders in epilepsy. The following risk factors for the development of psychosis are considered: the form of epilepsy; age of onset of seizures, lateralization of the epileptic focus, gender, and drug therapy. Variants of classification approaches to the problem are presented. The article discusses the differences in the systematization of «endoform» syndromes, as well as the parallels between schizophrenia and psychoses in epilepsy. The dynamics of scientific views on the interest in the formation of epileptic psychoses in various parts of the brain: the temporal lobe (amygdala, hippocampus, paralimbic zones and parahippocampal bend), as well as GABA-ergic neurons of the upper tubercles of the quadriplegic, posterior hypothalamus and serotonergic neurons of the dorsal suture and noradrenergic neurons of the blue spot are reflected. The association of psychopathological manifestations with neurophysiological, biochemical, genetic and morphofunctional correlates is noted. The authors‘ interest in psychoses associated with the use of antiepileptic drugs is emphasized. Conclusion: despite all attempts to systematize these conditions, the factors that provoke the development of psychoses in patients with epilepsy, their structure and prognosis remain poorly predictable and require further in-depth study.

On the differential diagnostic prospects of determining the profile of the lateral organization of the personality during assessment of the systematic alcohol abuse
Authors: Bamburov K. A. , Lukovtseva Z. V.
Published: December 2021

The article is devoted to the question of the possible improvement of the psychological examination of persons previously examined in alcoholic intoxication (hereinafter—PEAI). The authors propose an original view on the definition of the target of «alcohol screening», the principles and methods of assessing psychological markers of the systematic substance abuse. Purpose of the study: to determine the differential diagnostic significance of identifying the profile of the lateral organization (hereinafter—PLO) when assessing of the systematic of alcohol abuse in those previously examined in a state of alcoholic intoxication. The researchers made an attempt to highlight the features of PLO of such a «risk group» as those previously examined in a state of alcoholic intoxication (based on data obtained during the study according to the typology of E.D. Khomskaya (with a combination of three types of asymmetries: manual, auditory-verbal and visual) of lateral preferences of 19 PEAI patients of the branch of the Moscow Research and Practical Center for Narcology). As a result, the tendency of those previously examined in the state of intoxication to the lack of a «leading ear» and «leading eye», significant differences in the distribution of the attribute «leading hand» among those previously examined in a state of alcoholic intoxication and in the population were revealed. Conclusion. According to the results of this study, it is difficult to assume the presence of a significant differential diagnostic significance of PLO detection during «alcohol screening» among those previously examined in a state of alcoholic intoxication. At the same time, it should be noted that taking into account lateral preferences can contribute to the improvement of preventive work programs in the narcological service, providing greater individualization of psychological support measures. Directly in the rehabilitation work with PEAI, it is advisable to actively apply social and psychological training (because of a significant part of the contingent among the main factors of relapse with a high degree of probability has social stressors). The creation of short-term (3-5 meetings) programs of group exercises of a preventive orientation, which have different targets depending on the «vulnerability factors» of the owners of certain lateral profiles, also seems justified.
The Post-COVID-19 cognitive impairment. A modern view of the problem, pathogenesis and treatment
Authors: Zakharov D. V. , Buriak Y. V.
Published: December 2021

COVID-19 infection is a significant and poorly understood problem of modern world medicine. As the virus spreads, data on the clinical picture of the disease and damage to the nervous system are accumulating. Symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances and many other neurological and somatic symptoms are often recorded, persist for a long time even after the acute infectious stage of the disease has been stopped, and make it difficult for the patient to fully recover. These symptoms occur even with a mild disease and persist for many months. One of the most common and disabling symptoms of post-COVID syndrome is cognitive impairment, in the formation of which, in addition to the direct ability of the virus to penetrate the nervous system and pathology of the microvasculature, various pathological mechanisms are involved, including dysregulation of cholinergic transmission. A comprehensive approach is important in the treatment of cognitive impairment; it is advisable to use both medication and non-medication methods. The main approaches to the treatment of secondary cognitive disorders are based on the hypothesis of replenishing the defect in mediator systems, including those associated with the death of cholinergic neurons. With these abnormalities, it is advisable to replenish acetylcholine. Among the precursors of choline, choline alfoscerate occupies a special place due to its proven efficacy in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as due to data on its multifactorial action. The article presents the actual literature data on the mechanisms of development and features of the clinical manifestations of post-COVID cognitive impairment, as well as materials of experimental and clinical studies of the drug choline alfoscerate (Gliatilin).

REGIONAL BIAS IN LATE ANTIQUE AND EARLY MEDIEVAL COIN FINDS AND ITS EFFECTS ON DATA: THREE CASE STUDIES
Authors: Pyzyk Mark
Published: December 2021

This paper discusses the role of bias and uncertainty in the FLAME project (Framing the Late Antique and Early Medieval Economy) at Princeton University. FLAME is a large Digital Humanities project focused on collecting and storing data on coin minting and circulation in west Afro-Eurasia from 325 to 750 CE, roughly coinciding with the period of transition between the late antique and early medieval periods. The overarching goal is historical – that is, we wish to be able to say something new about how the world of late antiquity and the medieval period really was. However, in the process of building this database, and its accompanying online tools, we have also observed that the data is difficult and problematic. This paper, then, is an account of some of these historiographical and methodological issues in the form of three case studies (Britain, France, and Ukraine) and a short discussion of strategies that FLAME employs to communicate these biases to users, who benefit from a transparent discussion of messiness and difficulty in the data.

The paper proceeds in seven sections, of which the first is an introduction. Section Two presents basic technical details of the project, such as its database implementation (MySQL) and its online visualization systems (ArcGIS), access to which can be found at https://flame.princeton.edu. Section Three discusses the historiographic questions at stake, distinguishing between Primary Bias (inherent in materials themselves) and Secondary Bias (particular to national and political contexts).

Section Four, Five, and Six are each devoted to a separate case study: Britain, France, and Ukraine. Each discusses FLAME's data on that region and briefly touches upon contextual factors that may bias regional data. Thus, Section Four discusses Britain, with much analysis focused on the role of the Portable Antiquities Scheme in incentivizing reporting of found antiquities, and its effects on coin data. Section Five discusses France, where FLAME records many coin finds, but from a limited time period (primarily from Merovingian states). Section Six discusses the situation in Ukraine, where we were helped by existing scholarly resources (such as the coin inventories of Kropotkin), but where cultural heritage preservation suffers from weak state enforcement and where much scholarship suffers from spotty recording practices, and often outright theft of national treasures, going back to the imperial Russian period. Section Seven concludes the paper, noting that such methodological and second-order discussion of bias is a critical desideratum for the Digital Humanities as it matures into its second decade.
Projects and Project Activities in the Activities of Domestic Organisations: objectives and issues
Authors: Kiselev Aleksandr Aleksandrovich
Published: December 2021

Currently, domestic researchers pay much attention to the development of provisions on projects in the activities of organizations, their impact on the efficiency of organizations and the development of new provisions related to project management and organization of project activities. However, the definitions of projects and project management often given by domestic researchers are not linked to the key concepts of the theory of organization management, which leads to the fact that the provisions given by domestic researchers often have no practical application. The article systematizes approaches to defining the essence of projects in the activities of organizations, considers the reasons why projects and project activities become relevant for organizations in a competitive environment, as well as problems and their tasks in the activities of commercial organizations.
Formation of the Institution of Social Contract In Conditions of Digital Economy in Modern Russia
Authors: Asadov Vidadi Gafizovich
Published: December 2021

The article makes an attempt to analyze a new type of social assistance to low-income citizens, low-income families, as well as citizens in a difficult life situation in order to formulate proposals for its improvement. The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin during the meeting with senators held on 23 September 2020 pointed out that "One of the key factors in war on poverty is the social contract" (https://ria.ru/20200923/bednost-1577654986.html). The social contract is a very effective type of social assistance, as it is aimed to activating the citizens themselves in increasing their level of material security. As a result of the contract, they get the opportunity to find a permanent income, including by opening their own business or running a personal subsidiary farm, solve their difficult life situation, retraining. Despite the positive dynamics of the increase in the number of signed social contracts, the mechanism of these contracts itself needs to be improved. In particular, the author suggests that social protection institutions move to proactive social work with poor citizens, informing them more fully about the features of the social contract. It is also proposed to transfer the distribution of quotas for the conclusion of a social contract in various areas of the activities carried out within its framework to the subjects of the Russian Federation, to revise the terms of the social contract in the direction of «job search».

This paper is devoted to obtaining a zeolite-containing sorbent based on metallurgical waste — slag. The synthesis of zeolite adsorbent from ash and slag was carried out by hydrochemical and thermal treatment. The initial object and the obtained material were characterized using following methods: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, X-ray phase analysis, titrimetry. The way of converting solid-phase waste into a beneficial product has been demonstrated. The study results showed that the surface of the obtained material is saturated with functional groups (hydroxy-, carboxy-, lactone), which predetermine the ability to bind metal ions during adsorption. The adsorption capacity of the product has been estimated for iodine and methylene blue. A thermodynamic analysis of the process of sorption of copper (II) ions from an aqueous solution has been conducted. It has identified that the sorbent can also be used for the adsorptive concentration of ions of rare-earth elements by the example of lanthanum and erbium. Laboratory testing of the possible use of the sorbent to purify industrial water was carried out using the example of wastewater from a chromium plating shop

In this work, for the first time, studies of the mineralogical composition and chemical semi-quantitative spectral analysis (SQSA) of the Zhezkazgan processing plant tailings before and after leaching were carried out. It was found that copper is present in the tailings in the form of the chalcosine and bornite minerals. After leaching with the use of ammonium bifluoride and a hydro-pulse discharge, chalcosine and boronite are destroyed, and copper passes into a solution containing phosphoric acid. As a result of multiple placing of tailings into the solution, the copper content in it is brought to a concentration at which copper deposition on a stainless steel plate is possible. The identification of copper was implemented on a LAES-Matrix grain spectrometer. A visual comparative analysis of the changes in the structure of the treated ore waste was carried out using a TESCAN MIRA scanning electron microscope. Metallic copper was obtained from solution by electrochemical reactions in an experimental laboratory setup as a result. The technology was developed on an experimental laboratory setup for the extraction of metallic copper and brought the choice of the solution medium and electrochemical processes to the stage of obtaining the target metal with a purity of 99.99 %

The article presents materials on the isolation of ecdysterone substance from medicinal plant raw materials Silene wolgensis (Hornem.) Bess. ex. Spreng (Volga smolyovka). For the first time, the optimization of the method for ecdysterone substance obtaining from the aboveground part of the superconcentrator of phytoecdysteroids of the Silene wolgensis was carried out and based on it a pilot industrial regulation for the isolation of ecdysterone and an encapsulated water-soluble form were developed. It was found, that the interaction of the substrate molecule and the clathrate forms a substance that can dissolve in water and other more polar solvents, thereby solving the problem of bioavailability of the main hydrophobic drug. The method developed for producing the substance ecdysterone and its water-soluble encapsulated with β-cyclodextrin form was implemented into production at the Karaganda pharmaceutical plant. NMR studies of changes in the chemical shifts of protons of substrates and receptors illustrated that ecdysterone interacts with β-cyclodextrin to form supramolecular inclusion complexes with stoichiometric composition of 1:1

The separation of rare-earth elements (REE) from a neodymium magnet has been widely studied last year. During the research it was identified that the waste of computer hard disk contains 25.41 % neodymium, 64.09 % iron, and <<1 % boron. To further isolate rare-earth metals, the magnet was acidically dissolved in open and closed systems. In both methods of dissolution, concentrated nitric acid was used. The difference between these methods is the conditions of dissolution of magnet. The magnet was dissolved in a microwave sample preparation system at different temperatures and pressures in a closed system. In the open system, the acid dissolution of the magnet is conducted at room temperature. 0.2 g of the neodymium magnet sample was taken under two conditions, and the dissolution process in the closed system lasted 1 hour, and in the open system 30-40 minutes. The open system is a non-laborious, simple, and cheap method of dissolving the magnet by comparing both systems. Therefore, an open sample preparation system is used for further work. To remove the iron in the magnet, oxalic acid was used and REEs are precipitated as oxalates under both conditions. According to the result of the Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method, it was identified that the neodymium and iron contents in the precipitate are 24.66 % and 0.06 %, respectively. This shows that the iron has almost completely passed to the filtrate

The work is devoted to the development of a new method for the synthesis of magnetic composites based on manganese ferrite on a natural clay, coupling with their physico-chemical characterization. In the study, a natural clay of Kazakhstan obtained from the Turkestan deposit was used for the preparation of magnetic composites. The formation of materials with magnetic properties is an urgent task of our time, due to the needs of various applications of magnetically controlled materials for biomedical systems, electronic devices, catalytic and adsorption processes. The advantage of such materials is the ability to control them using a magnetic field for shaking, recovery, induction heating, among others. In this work, samples were prepared by co-precipitation of manganese and iron salts with 5 mol L-1 NaOH over the Turkestan clay (TC). Materials were characterized by various analyses, such as Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometric analysis (XRD), and elemental analysis. According to the results of physical and chemical studies of the XRD and thermal analysis, kaolinite is the main mineral in the composition of TC. Magnetic adsorbents MnFe2O4/clay with perfect magnetic separation characteristics were successfully obtained by chemical co-precipitation

Nowadays, a strategy for the utilization of secondary resources to obtain valuable components is actual. It will lead to the most rational use of natural resources and environmental protection. Electrochemical methods are perfectly applicable to solve this problem. Electrochemical methods allow concentrating of the target components without preliminary preparation of the raw material. Carbon materials (CM) based on plant and carbon-mineral raw materials are an excellent option as a matrix for obtaining the electrodes, due to their availability, low cost, high specific surface area, and the presence of different functional groups. The lack of theoretical substantiation of the adsorption phenomena on carbon electrodes served as an incentive for the study and development of a method for obtaining a mechanically strong electrode based on modified carbon and polyethylene. The design and mechanical strength of carbon electrodes (CE) are of great importance for the efficiency of purification and extraction of valuable components. In this article, we obtained carbon mate- rial from walnut shells by hydrothermal carbonization with further steam-gas activation (the specific surface area is 754.0 m2/g). The structural, physicochemical characteristics of the carbon material, binder, and carrier material were studied by the following methods: scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorymetry (TGA-DSC). The method of hot-pressing is applied for obtaining the carbon electrodes. Using the method of full-factor experiment and steepest ascent, the values of pressure and temperature during pressing and the ratio of carbon material: binder was optimized: P = 226 atm; T = 90.8 °C; carbon material: binder ratio = 67.5:32.5 %, respectively
Music and Performance by the Dzherelo Instrumental Chamber Quartet: Timbral Unity and Arrangement Features.
Authors: Oleksienko Oleksandr
Published: December 2021

The paper studies the specifics of the timber component of the ensemble performing (mixed ensemble), and its realization in the timbre-dynamic mixed interpretation in the arrangement of classical repertoire by the instrumental chamber Dzerelo quartet of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine. As for the ensembles varying in timbre, in the context of the style of their musical repertoire, the concept of creative instrumentation emerges. That points out to the main function of the musical stylistics—rediscovering the original piece, with new accents put on the extent of reinvention, its quality, and composer’s creative design.
Arrangement in music deals with the finished piece, and that constitutes its main difference from the original process of composing. Transcription for other instruments differs from the related processes not only with its conscious nature but also with the integrity of both arranged work and the original. The paper analyses the arrangement of the String Sonata No. 6 by Gioachino Rossini. Based on the stable intonation and formative means, interpreting performers experiment with the potential flexibility of music. Therefore, the final version of the musical piece may be named not so much a “composer’s work” but a “performer’s work.
Performative Practices of Ukrainian Artists during the Late Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
Authors: Yatsyk Iryna
Published: December 2021

The paper focuses on the phenomena of performance and performative practices in the Ukrainian culture of the specified period. Emphasis is made on the development of performative practices as one of the components of the complex embodiment of the artist’s idea in an art project. It is also emphasized that the realization of a holistic idea often goes beyond a single work and often includes a series of works united by consistent artistic practice. The aim of the paper is to determine the features of performative practices in the context of Ukrainian culture in the art projects of contemporary Ukrainian artists. These phenomena have gained considerable popularity, as the elements of performativity are present in the various areas of culture and art. It was suggested that artists’ appeal to performative practices is a sign of an attraction to project thinking. It is also emphasized that the concept of performative practice has not yet become established, but the expansion of the author’s interpretations, is obvious. Such approach provides more accurate definition for theoretical discussion and reaffirms the relevance and prospects of the topic.

Authors: Mandra Natalia
Published: December 2021

The paper covers the issue of methods for analyzing changes in the body of art studies concepts, the features of the history of the study of this problem in Ukrainian art studies and cultural studies are considered. The factors that hinder the structuring of the existing corpus of the latest and classical concepts within a single system are identified. Reasoned that in the process of structuring the conceptual system of art studies, it is necessary to distinguish between the organization of the internal elements of the system and external influences on the system. Proposed a typology of external (functional) influences on the art studies conceptual system, carried out by a number of components of culture. Highlighted the following influences: artistic, worldviewical, normative, sociocultural, linguistic. Each of them is differentiated according to the varieties of the original component (from the list presented by us), and for some of the levels of differentiation, the author’s definitions are proposed (where the theory required it). The typology is developed on the basis of a systematic and functional approach.

Borys Liatoshynsky’s 1910s–1920s Instrumental Chamber Music: Evolution from Salon Style to Symphonic Drama
Authors: Savchuk Igor , GOMON Tеtiana
Published: December 2021

This paper examines the evolution of the signature traits of Borys Liatoshynsky’s instrumental chamber music during the 1910s and 1920s in the context of the overall evolution of the composer’s expressive means. Also presented is the complex analysis of Liatoshynsky’s creative personality in his early (the 1910s) and modernist (1920s) periods in order to outline the impact of the cultural and historical environment the artist lived in during the late 1910s, as well as the influence of the troubled sociocultural situation of the time on his imagery. It was found that in the 1910s Liatoshynsky turned to modifying expressive means of late Romanticism; however, during the 1920s the palette of his instrumental chamber music shifted to symphonic experiments. For Liatoshynsky, instrumental chamber music becomes a testing ground for his creed as a symphonic composer with the respective imagery and existential drama behind his design
Performativity, Discourse and Communication: Relationship of Concepts
Authors: Bezuhla Ruslana
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes approaches to the study of phenomena and concepts of performativity, discourse and communication, and makes it possible to trace how various types of communication are interconnected in the structure of artistic culture. It has been established that in modern society, performativity, discourse and communication provide a higher level of generalization and prevalence than in previous historical periods, which leads to an expansion of the subject field for the study of these phenomena.
The aim of the work is to research and systematize existing theories conceptualizing performativity, communication and discourse in the mode of humanitarian knowledge. This approach will contribute to solving the scientific problem of clarifying the conceptual and categorical apparatus of modern cultural studies and art history.
Methodology of work. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study were philosophical and general scientific approaches, principles and methods that made it possible to analyze the phenomena of performativity, discourse and communication from different-vector positions: the method of generalization, made it possible to determine the place of performativity, discourse and communication in the worldview paradigm due to the analysis of ambiguous formulations and statements about the phenomena, which were presented in various sources; an interdisciplinary approach ensured the use of the latest theoretical developments in the social sciences and humanities; the sociological approach made it possible to consider the phenomena of performativity, discourse and communication at the macrosocial and microsocial levels.

Authors: Klekovkin Olexander
Published: December 2021

Scientific and speculative prospects of art history, its object-ness in the struggle with object-lessness are not a general (speculative) statements on post-, trans- multi- or other psudonyms of time; first of all, it concerns the object, tools and method of work — of course, considering the place, time, political, economic and other circumstances. Taking into account this context, the vocabulary of art history (development, periodization, reform, etc.), as well as the peculiarities of the «art history logic» of generalizations and the functions of art history discourse are considered. It is argued that there is a need to revise the key terms of art history and actualization of its prognostic function, which is implemented through the dependencies between the objective facts previously discovered by it; actualization of this function will help the results of scientific studies to be put into art practice.

Music in cinema and problems of synthesis of arts
Authors: Kharchenko POLINA
Published: December 2021

The article raises the issues of realization of the problems of synthesis of arts, in particular in its theoretical and practical aspects, which has been implemented in cinema from the initial stages of its development to the present. This highlights the stages of theory and practice that have become significant milestones in the formation of cinema as a synthetic art form. Throughout the period of the latter there were discussions about its nature, in particular the peculiarities of its spatio-temporal and semantic organization, the specifics and features of the ratio of certain structural components in creating the film’s drama, the basics of interaction and the ratio of its basic means of expression visual range. Due to the development of modern technologies of composition, as well as the evolution of means of recording music and the practice of further distribution of film music as an independent work of art, the problem of synthesis in film has become acute at a new, insufficiently studied level. As a result of the study, important milestones in the history of the evolution of cinema in terms of synthesis of its main structural components, including screen image and music. Based on the analysis of the specifics of the synthetic interaction of the latter in the construction of dramaturgy of films, identified and characterized their implementation in various models of the relationship between music and visual series in cinema. The nature of cinema determines its specificity as a synthetic art form, but the characteristics and foundations of the interaction of its main means of expression are discursive. The ratio of traditional, ancient artistic languages, which have independent, developed semantics and principles of structural organization, require filmmakers to solve the problem of their synthesis in the construction of artistic concept, the general drama of films.

Geoplastics, as a method of vertical planning, is gaining more and more popularity among landscape architects, because this method gives the landscape an aesthetic unity, expressiveness, and a peculiar feature. The paper considers the influence of geo-plastic changes in the relief on a person, the viewer's perception of the environment. These factors are extremely important in the creation and design of the park, they allow the key elements to be presented, while creating harmonious combinations in the space, it is admirable and it is this that encourages you to visit the landscape object. Pechersk Landscape Park is located on the picturesque slopes of the Dnieper in Kiev, has a landscape type of planning, which is characterized by large areas of lawns with groups of shrubs and trees, the lack of symmetry in the placement of alleys and other elements of free planning. The park zone itself covers an area of 32,92 hectares. Location in difficult terrain contributes to the use of geo-plastic tools, which can be used to improve and develop park space. The illuminated research is based on the analogy method, by means of which the analog elements of geoplastics are transferred to the results obtained during the field survey of the park territory on difficult terrain. Graphic materials were developed using the ArchiCad 21 software package based on the original cartographic data. A detailed analysis of the problematic aspects of the Pechersky Landscape Park identified the main tasks: adaptability to the needs of society, increasing the comfort of stay, improving the natural landscape, arranging natural zones of park relief. Techniques and methods for improving the territory were applied, such as terracing slopes, creating eco-chairs, using artificial relief in playgrounds. The impact of these changes on the stay of visitors and on the environment as a whole is summarized and predicted. The use of geoplastics in the context of the perception of landscape compositions will contribute to solving problematic relief and exposition aspects of the Pechersk Landscape Park, which will increase its recreational potential.
