VAX AS A NEW STAGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COVID-NEOLOGISMS
Authors: Semegin Т.
Published: September 2022

The article considers the peculiarities of the development and transformations of COVID-related neologisms in modern media discourse and lexicographic sources. Media discourse is particularly favourable to innovations and serves as a “proving ground” for testing the accuracy and vitality of COVID-related neologisms, from which the most successful examples of linguo-creative practice enter dictionaries. The author investigates the ranking of key words in lexicographic sources of recent years, analyzes the extralinguistic preconditions for changing COVID-related vocabulary to vaccine-related vocabulary. The latter represents the second wave in the development of COVID-related neologisms with the central lexeme vax which is described as the semantic innovation, shortened from the words vaccine,vaccination or vaccinate. The research systematizes key trends among COVID-related neologisms, in particular: active functioning of shortenings with high derivational and expressive potential, dominance of suffixal and prefixal ways of word formation, compounding and shortenings, prevalence of ironic nominations as a method of psychological self-defense, and of hypernymic nominations (COVID) over hyponymic ones (Delta, Omicron) in discourse, differentiation between different disease states depending on the duration and complexity of its consequences (long COVID and covidcito). Besides, the metaphorical nature of human thinking determines the desire of a person to describe the disease through the prism of conceptual metaphors. The most frequent conceptual metaphor in our sample turned out to be PANDEMIC IS A WAR, which demonstrates the global and catastrophic consequences of the pandemic due to its correlation with such a domain as war.
GRAPHIC ETYMOLOGY IN DEVELOPMENT FRENCH WRITTEN TRADITION
Authors: Sydelnikova L.
Published: September 2022

The article presents an attempt to establish the features of etymological writings in the history of French graphics. The aim of the article is to outline the basic principles of writing on which modern French is based, to study graphic complexes that fix etymological words, usually from Latin in different epochs, to establish a graphic inverter of etymological letter signs, to reveal the evolution of graphic etymology. The article substantiates that the graphic system of the French language is multisystemic and represents a variability in the use of different principles of writing (phonogram, morphogram and ideovisual or logogram) and criteria for functioning of graphic units in order to convey information as accurately as possible. The appearance of etymological letters is due to bringing French closer to Latin, giving it the status of special prestige, as well as maintaining a connection with the origins. The analysis of the graphic inventory established that the graphic etymology is peculiar only to graphemes that transmit consonant sounds. Among such graphic complexes, doublings or “geminants” were found, which graphically reflect etymological words, as well as some one-letter complexes. The presented means of graphic fixation was very popular in the Middle French period of the development of the French language, which became entrenched and acquired its further development in subsequent epochs (Renaissance and Enlightenment). At the same time, such popularization of graphic etymology led to the use of false unjustified etymology in writing. The studied corpus of graphemes clearly demonstrated the general tendency to simplify the phonogram principle of writing and the growth of the etymological principle throughout the history of the formation of the graphic system of the French language.
DISTRIBUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SEMANTIC AND SYNTAX VALENCE VERBS IN MODERN FRENCH ARTISTIC TEXT
Authors: Filonenko N.
Published: September 2022

The paper examines the development of the theory of valence of the French verb from L. Tesnière to the present day, elucidates the relationship between distribution and valence, reveals the conditions for realizing potential valence in the context of modern French artistic prose works, elucidates characteristic syntactic constructions for the realization of non-valent, univalent, divalent, trivalent and tetravalent verbs. The purpose of the article is to outline the reasons and regularities of the decrease and increase in the valence of the French verb in the literary text. The material of the research is the syntactic constructions of nine novels by Goncourt laureates of the 21st century, which are reference texts of modern French literary prose. The applied structural research method determined the use of distributive and component analyses, as well as analysis by direct components. It was found that the potential valence established according to the distributional characteristics does not often coincide with the realized valence of the verb in a specific text. The realization of valence is also influenced by the author’s opinion, in particular, this is manifested in the use of agrammatic constructions and the occasional use of verbs, which is provoked by a violation of the distributional characteristics and potential valence of verbs in view of their semantics. The reduction of semantic-syntactic valence in the context of an artistic work is carried out due to the use of ellipses in the dialogues of the characters, which is caused by the author’s desire to reproduce oral speech. An increase in semantic and stylistic valence, in particular in causative and factitive quadrivalent constructions, occurs in the texts of those authors whose style involves the use of syntactically complicated polypropositional sentences. Research perspectives are determined by the field of cognitive syntax, in particular by questions of the roles of circumstances and syntactic synonymy, as well as the reproduction of the prototype of the expressed situation in the distributional characteristics and realization of the valence of the verb.
SEMIOTIZATION OF POLITICAL TOXICITY IN THE MEDIA SPACES OF THE USA, GREAT BRITAIN AND UKRAINE: A MULTIMODAL ASPECT
Authors: Shkvorchenko N.
Published: September 2022

The article attempts to build a multimodal model of toxic political communication and determine common and distinctive features of the semiotization of political toxicity in the media environment of the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine. Toxic political communication is interpreted as a type of interaction characterized by a high degree of aggressive (verbal and/or paraverbal) behavior of various participants in the political discourse, which causes moral harm or discriminates against the opponent based on race, nationality or gender resulting in such politician(s) being perceived and then defined as toxic. The constructed model of toxic political communication takes into account multimodal mechanisms of the discursive expression of toxicity (verbal, paraverbal, extralingual), modes of expanding the toxic effect (direct, indirect, and mediated), mechanisms of perception and image formation of politicians (toxic vs. positive) in the media environment of the respective countries.We determined that toxicity is manifested in derogatory statements by politicians, which contain insults, name-calling, ridiculing, emotional and inclusive utterances aimed at polarization and causing psychological and/or image damage to participants in the political debate (opponents). Toxic paraverbal co-speech means are divided into prosodic and gestural-mimic forms, which include aggressive, caustic, derogatory, paternalistic, pompous tone of speech, gestures that violate the personal boundaries of the interlocutor, exaggerated facial expressions. Extralingual forms of toxic communication include poster colors, electoral campaign symbols, clothing, rally sites, music, etc., which intensify the damaging effect of actions/utterances of a politician who is defined as toxic in the media. We found that contrasting forms of the semiotization of political toxicity in the media environment of the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine are determined by the relevant information agendas for each of the countries, for example, racism and intolerance towards migrants (USA), Partygate (Great Britain), zrada (betrayal) vs. peremoha (victory) (Ukraine) and others. Common to the three linguistic cultures is the aggressive type of politician-speaker, whose utterances/behavior are prone to dramatizing and aimed at causing psychological damage to the opponent’s personality through direct or indirect derogatory images accompanied by prosodic, gestural and facial emphases.
TYPES OF TRANSFORMATIONS IN UKRAINIAN TRANSLATION OF J.K. ROWLING'S “HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE”: LINGUOSEMIOTIC ASPECT
Authors: С. В. ВОЛКОВА  , А. В. ЛУЧИНСЬКА
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The study focuses on the translation transformations in reproducing the linguosemiotics of the image of the character in Ukrainian translation of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J. K. Rowling. The understanding of such concepts as “image”, “literary image”, and “character image” in linguistics and translation studies’ works is specified.The paper analyzes the translation studies investigations of the text of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”. The literary image of Harry Potter, the main character of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, is considered to be a system of base and linguacultural codes which linguosemiotic means embody.Purpose. The paper aims at linguosemiotic analysis of the Ukrainian translation of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J. K. Rowling, identification and comparison of linguosemiotic features of the image of the character in the source and target texts.Methods. The descriptive-analytical, comparative, contextual and structural-semantic methods are applied to reveal the transformations used in reproducing the linguosemiotic features of the character image in the target text.Results. Linguosemiotic features of the image of the character in the source and target texts of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” are characterized. The interlingual transformations, used in reproducing the linguosemiotic features of the image of the character in Ukrainian translation of the analyzed text, have been systematized. In this researchthe linguosemiotic models of the character image in the source and target texts of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” by J. K. Rowling have been compared. Interlingual transformations revealed in the target text are interpreted.Conclusion. The paper reveals the scope of the linguacultural and semiotic implicatures of the image of Harry Potter, which are the components of the linguosemiotic model of the image of Harry Potter. It is proved that they are the verbal signs, which imply multi-coded information. The most brightly expressed implicatures in the source and target texts are brightgreen eyes and green light that are opposed through the all text. The meanings of the linguosemiotic implicatures of the image of the character of Harry Potter have slight differences in the original and translated texts, but they are not critical for comprehension by readers and do not distortthe whole literary image.
LANGUAGE SITUATION AND POLICY IN UKRAINIAN SCHOOL EDUCATION ACCORDING TO THE ASSESSMENTS OF THE SPEAKERS OF DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS
Authors: О. М. ДАНИЛЕВСЬКА
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The paper focuses on the study of the assessments of language situation in Ukrainian school education got after the interviewing the speakers of different ages. Perception and evaluation the language situation by the speakers of different age groups is influencedby the functioning of languages in the society.Purpose. The paper aims to analyse the differences in assessing language situation in school education among the speakers of different age groups, to characterize the peculiarities of the young people opinion about the languages functioning in Ukraine in order to develop recommendations for overcoming post-totalitarian deformations of linguistic environmentsat schools.Methods. To study the language situation and policy in Ukrainian school education according to the assessments of the speakers of different ages the following methods are applied: the method of statistical analysis, empirical analysis, the method of calculations and comparison the experimental data.Results. The assessments differ in the groups of language speakers of different ages, however, in quantitative terms, these differences are much smaller than those in region or “city-village” data, which indicates an increasing prestige of the Ukrainian language as the main language of education in Ukraine and the gradual harmonization of the language situation in the outlined sphere. The preference of using Ukrainian in schools testifies the changes of the Ukrainian youth’s point of view as for the language situation and reflects their willing of spreading Ukrainian language throughout Ukraine. The biggest difference between the young and older generations of respondents is a characteristic feature in assessing the prospects of the Russian language as the language of education in Ukraine.Conclusion. In Ukraine, a flexible model of the use of languages in the school system should be considered as potentially productive, which provides, on the one hand, the clarity and consistency of the widest possible use of the state language, and on the other hand, the creation of opportunities for learning different languages, including Russian, as educational subjects.
PECULIARITIES OF THE MICROFIELD “HOSTILE TROOPS” IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE ASSOCIATIVE-SEMANTIC FIELD “ENEMY” (based on the discourse of the Russian-Ukrainian information war)
Authors: О. Л. КИРИЛЮК
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The era of the information wars requires in-depth study of its discourse. A wide range of recipient’s emotions that can be evoked by certain lexemes makes language an essential tool in the fight for people’s consciousness while conducting information campaigns that accompany armed conflicts.Purpose. The paper aims at analyzing the structure of the associative-semantic field “hostile troops” in the discourse of the Russian-Ukrainian information war.Methods. The research is grounded on the following applied methods: the method of associative linguistic observation (emotional-expressive and figurative-sensual components of the semantics of the studied lexemes are revealed by means of it), associative-semantic modelling(associative-semantic fields, microfields and groups are systematized and classified).Results. As a result of the analysis, the structure of the associative-semantic microfield of the “hostile troops” has been modelled, within which eight groups (ASG) have been allocated. The main groups are: 1) terminolexemes with a component indicating Russia’s involvement in the Donbas conflict (Russian troops, armed forces of the Russian Federation); 2) names with “Putin”, “putinskyi” components that are synonymous with the concept of “Russia” (Putin’s terrorists); 3) metonymic names that associatively indicate the presence of troops of another state(foreigners, invaders); 4) terms without reference to the Russian trace, which are characteristicof the initial stage of the conflict, when the fact of Russian aggression has not yet been recognized by Ukrainian legislation (militants, separatists), etc.Conclusion. Thus, the terminology used by the Ukrainian society is an important means for understanding the information referring to the war discourse, as it specifies and transforms in the language not only the armed aggression, but also the sense of hostile aggression. The studyof terminolexemes is topical because it enables to form the linguistic identifiers of the war period and follow the psycholinguistic reactions of the society to the front line news.
DESCRIPTIVE AND PRESCRIPTIVE NORMS IN LINGUISTICS
Authors: Н. Г. ХОДАКОВСЬКА
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The linguistic norm is a defining feature of literary language at all stages of its development. This linguistic phenomenon is characterized by complexity and multidimensionality predetermined by internal and external conditionality of language development. It explainsinsufficient research of the language norm. Every language realizes the implicit and explicit norm. A codified component of the latter is referred to as a prescriptive norm and non-codified one is labeled as descriptive.Purpose. The article focuses on determining the status of prescriptive and descriptive norms in linguistics.Methods. The paper applies linguistic methods and techniques, including descriptive analysis, as well as methods of comparison, classification, and generalization.Results. The research shows that the descriptive norm creates selection of already existing speech facts, based on the usage and the prescriptive norm. The descriptive standard (Ist-Norm) in German is related to the rules of a written language, rules of pronunciation and oral language.The spelling norm of the German language is always prescriptive, and the orthoepic norm is, on the contrary, descriptive, except for the media and public style. The process of German orthoepic norm codification is fostered by two trends. The representatives of the first movement considerthe norm of pronunciation as an ideal and understand it as a prescriptive norm. Their opponents believe that the process of codification is descriptive. The prescriptive norm is ideal. Generally, the prescriptive approach covers the issues on standards in pronunciation, syntax, correctstylistic use of lexical means. The prescriptive norm is labelled as a “regulatory norm” because it has passed its own way, and is considered as fixed one in a form for a certain period of time and regulates the use of linguistic means in speech. The frame construction is part of the prescriptive norm (Soll-Norm) of the German language, is characterized by a high degree of representation in texts of different styles and performs structural-syntactic and communicative-pragmatic functions in the sentence.Conclusion. The descriptive norm represents various possibilities of a particular language system, accepted and implemented by the linguistic society of the world. Characteristic features of the descriptive norm are as follows: its determinism, development in the process of change and simultaneously with the change in the language system, variability. The properties of the prescriptive norm are codification, awareness and obligation for all speakers, taking into account social status. In German, prescriptive (prдskriptive) and descriptive (deskriptive) rules are called Regeln rules.
FRAME STRUCTURE OF THE EVALUATIVE UTTERANCE
Authors: G. I. PRIHODKO
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The paper focuses on the study of the framework of the evaluative utterance. Frame composition can be considered as an autonomous configuration consisting of a body, a setof standard patterns of speech acts, members of speech situation.Purpose. The aim of this research is to explore the updating of frame structure that realizes the evaluative potential.Methods. The research was carried out by means of the methods of Speech act analysis, framing technique, structural, semantic and contextual analysis.Results. The notion “frame” is used mainly for the description of such elements of consciousness, which are composed for demonstrating situations in object-human cognitive activity. Frame structure can be viewed as a specific formation consisting of a core, a number of standard models of speech acts, participants of speech episode. Also, a significant placeoccupies the objective, plan and consequent. So, the evaluative situation can be associated with the frame, as it consists of appraisal of the objects of the outer world and depicts the cohesion of concepts of the object and the subject, materialized in the system of parts of speech, as wellas all the components of utterances that constitute the situation. The paper looks at the evaluative utterance as the result of a certain perception pattern, picture, and script in the communicativeactivity. According to socio-role position relations between participants of communication are spread chiefly in the social domain of communication, where social role demonstrates interactional rules between the subject of communicative process and its object.Conclusions. The realized scheme of the evaluative utterance is related to the accomplishment of the frame pattern of a typical communicative act in the form of a holistic multi-layered creation – functional-semantic formation. Materialization of a frame pattern occurs on the background of social interplay, where the functional-semantic representation of the evaluative frame is benefited by resolving in its structure such components as the illocutionary act-event, topical proposition and conventional grammatical construction.
REALIZATION OF BIBLICAL IMAGES-SYMBOLS IN REPRESENTATIVE AND DIRECTIVE SPEECH ACTS (in Frank Peretti's mystical thrillers)
Authors: П. С. ХАБОТНЯКОВА
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The article focuses on the specificity of the realization of biblical imagessymbols in representative and directive speech acts in the mystical thrillers by Frank Peretti, the American postmodernism writer, whose worldview is based on Protestantism (Christianity).Purpose. The paper aims to determine the ways of realization and functioning of biblical images-symbols in representative and directive speech acts.Methods. The methodology of cognitive pragmatics, methods of content analysis, conversion analysis, and functional-pragmatic analysis, gave an opportunity to study the speech acts implemented in analyzed biblically-marked contexts that were taken from the mystical thrillers by Frank Peretti.Results. The representative speech acts are performed through the markers of explanation, reasoning, statement, and recognition; the directives – by directives of induction, call, offering, supplication, ordering, and invitation. In these speech acts biblical images-symbols embodythe most important ideas and intentions, which are interpreted linguistically throughout biblicallymarked contexts.Conclusion. In representative speech acts, biblical images-symbols are to deepen interpretation of the biblical motives of the “the fall of a man” as the mortal threat to mankind and “the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross” as the redemption of mankind. Biblical images-symbols help to inspire contemplation and spiritual quest in the directives of encouragement, supplication, offering, and are intended to adapt the reader to perceive the world through the biblical guidance and laws in the directives of commanding.
SYMBOLISM OF (POST)LIMINAL CORPORALITY IN ENGLISH POSTMODERNIST LITERARY TEXTS (in J. Winterson’s novel “Written on the Body”)
Authors: І. А. ГАЛУЦЬКИХ
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The article focuses on one of the aspects of corporality interpretation in a literary text – on the specific features of imagery and symbolic representation of (post)liminal corporality in oneiric images of novel’s characters.The purpose. The research aims at specifying the symbolism of liminal and postliminal bodies, which textual representation in its verbal dimension becomes the object of this study.On the material of Janette Winterson’s novel “Written on the Body” by means of a complex of interpretative methods with the application of the method of conceptual tropes (metaphors, metonymies, etc.) reconstruction the analysis demonstrated complicated correlation of symbolic meaning of the imagery with their role in the text plot structure.The results obtained sustained the idea of the predominant destructive nature of the images of human body incorporated into the imagery system of the literary text under analysis and specified the symbols applied for the liminal states literary interpretation. Its results are the fragment of a full-scale cognitive-semiotic analysis of corporality as a linguopoetic category in the literary texts of English postmodernism.Conclusion. Literary corporeal symbols of (post)liminal body are marked by ambivalent nature as while implying positive events they rely on destructed body images. It contributes to generating new meaning of corporeal symbols concerned with the idea of overcoming the limits of the body in its liminal state through destruction and loss that allows renewal and passingto the next stage of life. The conclusions correlate with the tendencies of literary interpretation of traumatic and posttraumatic bodies of up-to-date society, focusing on nuances of psychological and emotional states of characters of the literary text.
LANGUAGE AND CONCEPTUAL PICTURES OF THE WORLD IN THE INTERCULTURAL REPRESENTATION OF LITERARY TRANSLATION
Authors: О. М. АКМАЛДІНОВА  , Ю. Г. СТЕЖКО
Published: September 2022

Introduction. The paper focuses on the problem of interconnection of the conceptual and language pictures of the world in the intercultural representation of artistic translation. With the expanding of international links and mental rapprochement between different cultures’ representatives, the problem of the artistic translation, which is understood as the reproduction of the referentiality of concepts in target text with saving the empts of cultural values in a source text, becomes more and more topical.Purpose. The aim of the paper is to reveal the invariant factors for the mutual influence of the thinking way of the conceptualized reality and its language explication; to disclose the role of a logical thinking as a key for recognizing of the semantic universals in the language pictureof the world.Methods. The main methods applied in the given investigation are the general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction), the linguistic methods (the method of description, the method of comparison and contrasting) and the methods, which are appliedin the translation studies (methods of making analogies in source and target texts, methods of transformations and characterizations).Results. The paper outlined that the verbalization of the conceptual picture of the world is determined by social and cultural factors, as well as the language picture of the world reflects the way of thinking in the process of getting an agreement between representatives of different cultures. The generality of logical thinking organizes the knowledge into one conceptual picture as the basis for the formation of the semantic universals for the creation of the world pictures of different languages. The cases of the concepts transcendence and the pragmatic strategy of artistic translation are examined separately.Conclusion. Based on our analysis, we have got the following outcomes: the author (translator as well) is a channel of the expression of the national mentality and thinking method in conceptualizing the world due to his choice of stylistic means of artistic representation the reality; linguistic concepts-elements for the logical comprehension of reality form the invariant and thinking filling of the conceptual picture of the world and a basis for coincidence of associative recipients’ reactions in different languages.
INVARIANT TRANSLATION TRANSFORMATIONS OF A CINEMATIC TEXT FOR RETENTION OF THE COMMUNICATIVE AND PRAGMATIC POTENTIAL OF THE ORIGINAL SPEECH ACTS IN DUBBING AND SUBTITLING
Authors: Т. В. ЖУРАВЕЛЬ
Published: September 2022

Introduction. Undoubtedly, film translation is different from other types of translations. In both dubbing and subtitling, it is extremely important to take into account the interrelation of audio and video tracks, that is, verbal and non-verbal components. The combination of such components is referred to as a cinematic text. The target cinematic text must be communicative equivalent to the original one in order to preserve the pragmatic potential of the original speech acts.The purpose of the paper is to identify the translation transformations, which are used in the English-Ukrainian translation of a cinematic text in order to ensure pragmatic adaptation of original speech acts.Methods. The combination of translation analysis, comparative analysis, and communicative and pragmatic analysis provides a thorough study of the cinematic text, comparing the speech acts in the target and source variants of the cinematic texts, identifying and analysing the typesof translation transformations used to achieve a pragmatically equivalent target cinematic text in the English-Ukrainian dubbing and subtitling of “The Hobbit” trilogy.Results. It is revealed that each type of film translation aims at a comprehensive transmission of the content of the original and its communicative potential. This causes the invariant application of various translation transformations in dubbing and subtitling. The main attentionof the study is paid to such transformations as semantic development, concretization, generalization, replacement, transposition, omission.The analyzed material approved that the aim of pragmatic adaptation of a cinematic text is to keep the communicative purpose of the target and source texts. The main feature of a cinematic text, that is the combination of verbal and non-verbal components, has to be taken intoaccount while translating the original cinematic text.Conclusion. Cultural context is an integral part of pragmatic adaptation. Since language is a reflection of culture, the meanings of lexical units and the situations of their use may vary from one culture to another. That is why the translator must take into account these differences and select carefully the translation transformations in order to preserve and correctly reproduce communicative and pragmatic potential of the original speech acts, that is, to achieve pragmatic adaptation of the original cinematic text.
Differences In Glycosylated Hemoglobin To Conventional Cardiovascular Risk Factors In Obesity
Authors: Dharma Lindarto
Published: September 2022

Background: Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been used as an index for clinical diagnosis of diabetes which is closely related to the complications of cardiovascular. The purpose of the study was to assess the differences in HbA1c against conventional cardiovascular risk in obese patients.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on obese patients (BMI > 25). This study included 40 obese patients, whereas those with a history of CVD, thyroid disorders, or currently on lipid-lowering agents were excluded. HbA1c is divided over HbA1c < 5.6  and HbA1c > 5.6 (prediabetes), body mass index (BMI) were measured using standard methods. Laboratory assessment included venous blood samples in a fasted state for the determination of components of the lipid profile [total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, and TG], HbA1c, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistant (HOMA-IR) using the formula: insulin x fasting glucose / 405, C-reactive protein (CRP), and adiponectin.
Result: 40 obese patients participated in the study with an age of 41.7±6.0 years and a BMI of 33.1±5.0 kg/m2, and a significant correlation between HbA1c and age and HOMA-IR. All cardiovascular risk factors tend to increase but increased significantly at age, and TG (p<0.5).
Conclusion: In this study, the average HbA1c was significantly correlated with age and HOMA-IR, and all lipid parameters of HbA1c > 5.6 (prediabetes) tended to be higher than normal obesity.

Published: September 2022

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has now become an integral part of our lives through both desktop and portable devices. Thanks to dedicated hardware, visualization has been significantly accelerated, softwares today only use the GPU for rasterization. As a result of this development, now we use only triangle-based rendering, and pixel-based image manipulations can only be performed using shaders. It can be stated that today’s GPU pipeline cannot provide the same flexibility as the previous software implementation. This paper discusses an efficient software implementation of pixel-based rasterization. After reviewing the current GPU-based drawing process, we will show how to access pixel level drawing in this environment. Finally, a more efficient storage and display format than the classic solution is presented, which performance far exceeds the previous solution.

Menarche as early menstruation and is the transition from childhood to adolescence (puberty). Manifestations of hormone work during menarche have a significant impact on physical and psychological changes where the development of the body and a sense of mood that has never been felt before such as lazy to study, also women begin to recognize the opposite sex, so this condition makes young women more susceptible to diseases and problems related to reproductive function. It is very important for young women to know personal health from the start before menarche, including body maintenance in the breast and genital area through counseling activities by professions in their fields. The existence of problems encourages the lecturer team to carry out the tridharma of higher education in the form of community service with the hope that when they are teenagers they will be aware, willing and able to behave in a healthy life in order to create a quality future generation of the nation. The implementation of the activity with three stages (Pre-test, counseling and post-test evaluation) took place on 27 May 2022 at the Private Islamic School (SMIS) Ar rahman Sindang Kasih, West Ranomeeto with a team of 2 lecturers. The target objects for female students in grades V and VI were 35 people and the results of the evaluation of the pre-test and post-test questionnaires showed significant changes in students' understanding after counseling, such as 98% not understanding menarche to understanding 95% and 97% being satisfied with the counseling provided. The realization of a quality future generation of women is closely related to the extent to which individuals understand and implement knowledge about personal health, including before menarche. Therefore, the support of various related parties greatly contributes to the progress of the nation.

Published: September 2022

Objective: To evaluate the results of DLF in MDLS performed by a single experienced spine surgeon for both radiographic and clinical outcomes.Materials and Methods: The database of single-institution was retrospectively reviewed. To identify MDLS patients who had undergone DLF (> 2 levels) between 2007 and 2017. Clinical presentation, radiographic measurements, perioperative complications, and postoperative results were analyzed. The Oswestry disability index (ODI) and EuroQol five dimensions’ questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) were used to evaluate the outcomes comparing the preoperative and the most recent postoperative results.Results: In total, 84 patients (23 males and 61 females) were enrolled, with an average age of 64.4±8.6 (46-81) years old. Among these, 39 patients had fusion to L5 and 45 patients had fusion to the sacrum. Mean operative time was 66.9+23.4 minutes per level (range: 22.2-140) and the average length of stay was 10.7+5.7 days (range: 5-39). The mean estimated blood loss was 290.6+168.5 ml (range: 21.4-666.7). Average follow-up was 50.0+29.8 months (range: 0.5-124). The average preoperative ODI score was 60.6+16.3 (28-97.8) and 24.2+17.3 (0-71.1) postoperatively, while the average preoperative and postoperative EQ-5D-5L scores were 0.161+0.268 and 0.818+0.225, respectively. Both these clinical scores (ODI and EQ-5D-5L) showed a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001). Finally, 13% (11/84) of patients had further surgery.Conclusion: Decompressive laminectomy and long spinal fusion performed in patients with multi-level deteriorating lumbar spinal stenosis are safe and effective in terms of the patients’ quality of life and disability improvement.

Objective: This study tested different types of silicone rubber material to assess the most durable with properties that best simulated the human skin and vascular. The optimal materials were used to produce a transradial catheterization simulation model to train medical practitioners and tested the improvement of the training with a medical simulation model.Materials and Methods: Three types of silicone rubber were tested for their suitability as artificial skin and vascular for transradial catheterization simulation model. Eighteen fellowship physicians assessed the simulator’s operational effectiveness and recorded their satisfaction with the training.Results: Silicone rubbers were tested for realism and capability for repetitive training. Silicone rubber RTV-01 was the most durable for simulating the artificial skin, while silicone rubber RTV-03 was the most durable for simulating the artificial vascular with statistically significant results recorded by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P < 0.1). Satisfaction assessment results of the 18 participants using a Likert scale (5 points) returned total average scores of model’s efficacies as 4.41 and total average scores of model’s usefulness as 4.59.Conclusion: The materials were used for transradial catheterization simulation to enhance fellowship trainees’ learning efficiency through practice. The fellowship trainees became familiar with the equipment, gained a higher completion rate, and increased confidence in treatment planning.

Objective: To study histopathological and clinical features of methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (MTX-LPD) and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD).Material and Methods: A retrospective study on 30 cases of MTX-LPD and 2 cases of PTLD from 2006 to 2021.Results: By histopathology, the MTX-LPD group had 21 cases of lymphoma (MTX-Lymphoma) and 9 cases of reactive changes (MTX-Reactive). The PTLD group included diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and polymorphic PTLD (1 case each). The distinctive findings in MTX-Lymphoma and PTLD were association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (8/12 cases, 66.7%) and CD30 positivity (13/18 cases, 72.2%). The MTX-LPD group had median MTX dosage of 10 mg/week, median MTX cumulative dosage of 2,613.75 mg, and median duration of MTX usage of 2,186 days. The 14 MTX-LPD and PTLD patients has median duration to response after the varied interventions of 47 days and the time to the first complete remission (CR) of 126 days. The MTX-Reactive patients had a significantly higher absolute lymphocyte count, younger median age, fewer B symptoms, higher rate of single site involvement, less extranodal involvement, shorter duration to response, less time to enter CR, and higher CR rate than the MTXLymphoma patients (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Histopathology in MTX-LPD and PTLD patients can vary from reactive changes to lymphoma. EBV study and CD30 immunostaining help identify MTX-LPD and PTLD. History of MTX usage and other causes of immunodeficiency should be considered before diagnosing lymphoma. MTX discontinuation or reduction of immunosuppressant dosage are recommended before administrating combined chemotherapeutic agents in unresponsive cases.
ВСТАНОВЛЕННЯ АВТОРСТВА МУЗИЧНОГО ТВОРУ («О.Х. ВЕКСЛЕР-СТРИЖЕВСЬКИЙ – ЗАБУТИЙ АВТОР МУЗИКИ ЗАГУБЛЕНОГО ФІЛЬМУ») (до 110-річчя фільму «Запорозька Січ»)

Мета статті – ідентифікація автора музики до фільму українського режисера Д. Сахненка «Запорозька Січ». Оскільки різні джерела подають хибні або неповні трактування імені чи прізвища автора музики до фільму, представляється актуальним дослідити його особистість та доповнити картину тогочасного музичного життя України, а саме – Катеринослава та Херсона. Методологія дослідження передбачає використання історичного та культурологічного методів що базується на вивченні особистостей імовірних авторів музики. Наукова новизна. Встановлено дійсного автора музики до фільму Д. Сахненка «Запорозька Січ». Досліджена нова інформація про родину музиканта О.Х. Векслер-Стрижевського та діяльність її членів на протязі сорока років. Висновки. Аналіз зібраного матеріалу припускає і доводить, що автором музики до першого українського фільму Д. Сахненка «Запорозька Січ» є Олександр Харитонович Векслер-Стрижевський – виконавець на духових інструментах, капельмейстер, викладач, композитор. Зібрана інформація дозволяє простежити творчі зв’язки, які склалися між музикантами Катеринославщини та Херсонської області на початку ХХ сторіччя, відстежити професійний рівень духових оркестрів у Катеринославі на той час, зрозуміти рівень підготовки викладача музики у дореволюційній Росії та глибше поринути у концертне життя Катеринославу у той період. Наведена інформація не є визначальною для музичної культури України в цілому, але доповнює  загальну картину музичного життя Катеринослава, Херсону і Херсонської області, та усуває помилки в атрибутації музики до фільму українського режисера Д. Сахненка «Запорозька Січ». Перспективи дослідження полягають у подальшому вивченні музики до перших українських кінофільмів, а також у виявленні творчих зв’язків між музикантами і композиторами центральної та південної України.
СИЛУЕТИ ЖАНРОВО-СТИЛЬОВИХ МОДЕЛЕЙ В МУЗИЧНОМУ ТЕКСТІ «УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ВИТИНАНОК» Л.М. КОЛОДУБА
Authors: Ryabtseva Irina
Published: September 2022

Мета статті – виявлення формотворчих моделей і жанрово-стильових домінант, що визначили культурно-стильову полілогічність музичного тексту в «Українських витинанках» Л. Колодуба для гобоя / саксофона соло (версія 1998 р.). Програмна назва твору орієнтує на силуети, як відмінну рису техніки давньослов’янського виду декоративного мистецтва витинанки. Підкреслена рел’єфність і лаконізм музичного тексту, так само, як і впізнаваність контурних елементів візуального силуету витинанки, надає імпульс для творчого «декодування» узагальнених рис різних жанрово-стильових моделей, ознаки яких окреслюються контурно. Методи розвідки ґрунтуються на загальнонаукових принципах дослідження, таких як аналіз, синтез, дедукція та індукція, а також задіються інтертекстуальний, структурно-функціональний, інтерпретологічний та порівняльний аналіз. Наукова новизна статті полягає у виявленні та окресленні ознак жанрово-стильових моделей програмної інструментальної композиції, що здійснено вперше і надає можливість глибше зрозуміти процес стилеутворення, усвідомити принципи новітнього музичного мовлення. У висновках представленої наукової розвідки зазначено, що в «Українських витинанках» Л. Колодуба відбувається вільне поєднання будь-яких стильових джерел у їх абсолютно органічному й природньому переплетенні. Крізь призму лаконічних і рел’єфних, подібних до графічних силуетів, жанрових ознак фольклорних, джазових, барочних моделей, відбувається залучення виразових можливостей авангардової техніки. Так, фольклорна традиція народної інструментальної або ж вокальної імпровізації природньо узгоджується з алеаторикою; ефект «пленерного» звучання й просторового відлуння – з використанням політональності, а також сонористики; особливу роль має перемінна метрика, примхлива імпровізаційна й остинатна ритміка. Поєднання різних стильових прототипів має спільні «точки перетину». Так, барочний і джазовий імпровізаційні прототипи органічно вписуються в народну інструментальну манеру. А характерні інтонаційні звороти барочної арії lamento, так само природньо узгоджуються з почерком народних голосінь, або ж трактуються певними інтонаційними «контурами» лірико-пісенної стихії.
