Published: June 2023

A quadcopter - is an unmanned flying machine on a remote control. They consist of 4 arcs on which the motor and propeller are mounted. If you install four propeller motors on a light carbon fiber case, fiberglass or light wood and connect them to the remote control via a control board equipped with a gyro stabilization, you can get a simple drone with components that have almost endless designs. A quadcopter remote controlling softwareon the base of microcontrollers Arduino and ESP is created. The developed software product is a cross-platform application for quadcopter control, and the software developed for used microcontrollers can be easily modified and supplemented with new functions. In the development process, modern technologies were used, such as C #, XAML, Wi-Fi, UWP who proved they are reliable enough to use. The result of this work is the simplified creation of quadrocopter, including the use of cheaper components and the expansion of the quadrocopter functionality.

The prevalence of myopia in school-age children has increased dramatically year by year. Myopia is an impact on academic achievement, and blindness, and increases the economic burden. The research objective was to analyze the prevalence of myopia and its relationship with demographic characteristics (age and gender) in school-age children. This study was a cross-sectional design. The respondents were male (M), female (F), and school-age children (aged 6-19 years). The total subjects were 1171 school students, Elementary Schools (n=661; M=326, F=335), Junior High Schools (n=307; M=138, F=169), and High Schools (n=203; M=84, F=119). Data analysis was descriptive and chi-square tests (p<0.05). We found that the prevalence of myopia in school-age children was 14.61%. The highest rate of myopia is at the age of 19 years, girls (15.73%) more than boys (13.32%), in the late adolescent group (23.53%) more than the early adolescent group (18.75%), and childhood age (9.32%). Myopia in high school-age children (23.15%) was more than in junior high school students (20.85%), and elementary school students (9.07%). There was a relationship between age (p<0.001*), age group (p<0.001*), and school level (p<0.001*), but otherwise, there was no association between gender (p=0.24) with myopia in school-age children. In conclusion: myopia prevalence is highest at the age of 19 years, a group of late teens, high school, and females more than males. Myopia is associated with age among Acehnese school children (6-19 years) in Indonesian, so that’s why we recommend performing visual acuity tests routinely.

Abnormal uterine bleeding is a term used to describe any irregular bleeding from the uterus that is not part of a woman’s normal menstrual cycle and can happen during different life periods. Abnormal uterine bleeding can have structural etiologies (polyp, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, malignancy) or nonstructural etiologies (coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, and not-classified). The post- and pre-menopausal period requires a detailed investigation to establish the etiology of the bleeding because the chances that the woman has a malignancy are plentiful in this period. The treatment plan is determined based on the underlying cause of the bleeding. The main objective of this paper was to determine the prevalence of endometrial carcinoma in different periods, focusing on the postmenopausal period. This research was a cross-sectional study and included 79 cases of abnormal uterine bleeding in different periods of women’s lives. Our study found that abnormal uterine bleeding occurs more frequently during the premenopausal period (59%) and that the causes of irregular bleeding during this period were mainly benign. Our study focused on the postmenopausal period, where we found that 32.9% of irregular uterine bleeding occurs during this period, and the leading causes were malignant pathologies (83.3%), mainly endometrial adenocarcinomas. The average age was 66.7 years. During the study, it was observed that 50% of women with abnormal uterine bleeding due to malignancy were classified as overweight, 25% were obese, and 25% had normal weight. It was confirmed that obesity is a co-factor of malignancy in the postmenopausal period, and the pathophysiological mechanism is well understood now. Our study also found a high number of co-morbidities among women with abnormal uterine bleeding due to malignancy. We came to the conclusion that any abnormal uterine bleeding should be initially investigated in a multidisciplinary manner, an accurate diagnosis should be determined, and then a treatment plan should be established. The treatment strategy should be determined depending on the cause of abnormal bleeding.

Diverticulosis is a chronic acquired disease defined by the presence of diverticular protrusions throughout the wall layers of the digestive tract. Colonic diverticular disease is defined as clinically manifest or symptomatic diverticulosis, either by inflammation, diverticular bleeding or segmental colitis. It is a frequent cause of hospitalization in industrialized countries and also makes a major contribution to health care costs. Due to the spread of the Western-style diet, low in fibre and high in processed foods, the prevalence of diverticulosis is now increasing globally. Obesity is a significant risk factor contributing to the increased prevalence of both diverticular disease and diverticulitis and its complications, particularly in the younger population, previously considered to be at much lower risk than the geriatric population. Diverticulitis occurs when one or more diverticula, together with adjacent colonic tissue, undergo an inflammatory process. Approximately 15% of patients who suffer an episode of acute diverticulitis will experience complications, the most common of which is peridiverticular abscess, which can be complicated by peritonitis. Less common complications are colonic lumen stenosis and fistulae. Being a relatively common disease in the general population, with a constantly increasing prevalence, and also a disease with potentially reducible complications, especially in the case of frail patients with multiple comorbidities, it is necessary not only to update the therapeutic strategies, but also to set up multidisciplinary medical teams in which communication between the specialists involved results in a personalised (personalized) approach to each case.
Assessing Bart Ehrman’s Assertion of the Duration of the Oral Gospel Tradition: A Dissection of the Arguments of the Cultural Background of the Greco-Roman World
Authors: Башкатов А.
Published: June 2023

В данной статье рассматриваются утверждения американского библеиста Барта Эрмана о продолжительности периода между земной жизнью Иисуса Христа и временем написания канонических Евангелий. В начале статьи приводится обзор мнений учёных, которые обращались к вопросу о существовании долгого периода устной передачи евангельского учения. Далее приводятся мнения исследователей, выступающих против существования устного периода до написания Евангелий. Затем даётся оценка аргументов, возникающих при обращении к культурному фону греко-римского мира. В результате анализа культурной среды греко-римского мира, в свете вопроса о происхождении канонических Евангелий, была показана необоснованность позиции Барта Эрмана в отношении продолжительности устной передачи евангельской традиции.

This article examines the statements of the American biblical scholar Bart Ehrman about the length of the period between the earthly life of Jesus Christ and the time when the canonical Gospels were written. At the beginning of the article, a review is given of the opinions of scientists who addressed the question of the existence of a long period of oral transmission of the gospel teaching. The following are the opinions of researchers who oppose the existence of an oral period before the writing of the Gospels. Then an assessment is given of the arguments that arise when referring to the cultural background of the Greco-Roman world. As a result of the analysis of the cultural environment of the Greco-Roman world, in the light of the question of the origin of the canonical Gospels, the groundlessness of Bart Ehrman’s position regarding the duration of the oral transmission of the Gospel tradition was shown.
Eschatological Concept of H. U. von Balthasar: The Trinitarian Aspect
Authors: Солонченко А.А.
Published: June 2023

В статье исследуется тринитарный аспект эсхатологической концепции Г. У. фон Бальтазара. Автор применяет «синхронический» подход к предмету исследования. В первой части статьи автор выявляет методологические особенности эсхатологической концепции Бальтазара, её теоцентричность и таинственность, а также особенности её описания, использование иносказаний и аналогий. Во второй части описываются тринитарные основания концепции. Далее автор приводит интерпретацию Бальтазара учения о сошествии Христа в ад, как солидарности с мёртвыми, и констатирует её отличие от существующей богословской традиции. В следующей части статьи анализируется следствие тринитарного подхода Бальтазара к эсхатологии. Автор утверждает, что для Бальтазара все домостроительные действия Христа являются событиями, имеющими тринитарный аспект, и это сказывается на его понимании смерти, посмертного суда, ада и рая. Бальтазар понимает их не как реальности, характер которых сложился «до того, как» Христос соприкоснулся с ними, а как реальности, характер которых определяется именно их контактом со Христом. Также в статье описывается представление Бальтазара о соотношении Божественного бытия и страданий.

The article examines the trinitarian aspect of the eschatological concept of H. U. von Balthasar. The author applies a «synchronistic» approach to the subject of research. In the ﬁrst part of the article, the author reveals the methodological features of Balthazar’s eschatological concept: its theocentricity and mystery; as well as the features of its description: the use of allegories and analogies. The second part describes its trinitarian foundations. Further, the author cites Balthasar’s interpretation of the doctrine of the descent of Christ into hell as solidarity with the dead, and states its difference from the existing theological tradition. The next part of the article analyzes the implications of Balthasar’s trinitarian approach to eschatology. The author argues that for Balthazar all the dispensational actions of Christ are events that have a trinitarian aspect, and this affects his understanding of death, the posthumous judgment, hell and Heaven. Balthazar understands these things not as realities whose character was formed «before» Christ came into contact with them, but as realities whose character is determined precisely by their contact with Christ. The article also describes Balthazar’s idea of the correlation between Divine existence and suffering.
Russian-Armenian Interfaith Relations in the Moscow State Part 1: XIV–XVI Centuries
Authors: Рамазян Г.
Published: June 2023

Цель статьи — рассмотреть русско-армянские межконфессиональные отношения в Московском государстве и определить, как оценивали вероучение Армянской Церкви на Руси. Материалом для исследования является древнерусская литература XIV–XVI вв., в том числе некоторые фрагменты текстов в русских летописных сборниках, Требник митрополита Киевского и всея Руси Феогноста (1329 г.), ответное письмо митрополита Киевского и всея Руси Киприана «Ко Афанасию, вопросившему о некоих потребных вещах» (между 1390–1405 гг.), «Чин избрания и поставления во епископы» (1423 г.), «Послание великого князя московского Василия II Константинопольскому патриарху Митрофану об отступлении от православия митрополита Исидора» (1441 г.), предание о крещении Армении в «Послании Российского духовенства Углицкого князю Дмитрию Юрьевичу» (1447 г.), «Слово против армянского зловерия» прп. Максима Грека (нач. XVI в.), некоторые документы периода царствования Иоанна IV Грозного (1530–1584 гг.) др. В ходе работы выявлено, что в анализируемых письменных источниках вероучение Армянской Церкви оценивается в основном как еретическое. Дополнительным аргументом «еретичности» армян служило употребление ими двоеперстия (и др. молитвенных жестов и обрядов, присущих русским старообрядцам). Такое отношение к армянскому вероучению и обряду (например, проблема Арцивуриева поста) в Русской Церкви появилось в основном посредством греко-византийских и болгарских церковных источников.

The purpose of the article is to examine the Russian-Armenian interfaith relations in the Moscow state and to determine how the doctrine of the Armenian Church in Russia was evaluated. The material for the study is the ancient Russian literature of the XIV–XVI centuries, including , who asked about certain necessary things (between 1390–1405), «The Rank of Election and Appointment to the Episcopate» (1423), «The Message of the Grand Duke of Moscow Vasily II to Patriarch Mitrofan of Constantinople on the Apostasy from Orthodoxy of Metropolitan Isidore» (1441), The legend of the baptism of Armenia in the «Epistle of the Russian Clergy to Prince Dmitry Yuryevich of Uglice» (1447), «The Word Against the Armenian Malice» of the Rev. Maxim the Greek (beginning of the XVI century), some documents of the reign of John IV the Terrible (1530–1584), etc. In the course of the work, it was revealed that in the analyzed written sources, the doctrine of the Armenian Church is assessed mainly as heretical. An additional argument for the «hereticism» of the Armenians was their use of the double-cross (and other prayer gestures and rituals inherent in the Russian Old Believers). Such an attitude to the Armenian creed and rite (for example, the problem of the Artsivurian fast) in the Russian Church appeared mainly through Greek-Byzantine and Bulgarian church sources.
Diamper Council of the Malankara Church of India: Reasons for Convocation, Main Results and Historical Retrospective
Authors: Борисов П.Г.
Published: June 2023

Цель статьи — проанализировать предпосылки и результаты Диамперского Собора и их влияние на дальнейшую судьбу Маланкарской Церкви. Для этого автор применяет аксиоматический и индуктивный методы. Краткие результаты исследования таковы: Диамперский Собор — ключевое событие церковной жизни индийских христиан, масштаб и важность которого сложно переоценить; решения Диамперского Собора затронули всех христиан Индии, которые против своей воли оказались в совершенно других условиях церковной жизни. Напротив, решения Диамперского Собора не только настроили против европейских церковных деятелей существенную часть христианского населения, но и затронули интересы индуистских общин, став одним из слагаемых, которые в конечном счёте сформировали в сознании коренных жителей Индии образ европейца как захватчика, не считающегося ни с местной культурой и традициями, ни с местным населением в целом. Вполне логично, что в короткое по историческим меркам время после завершения Собора отношения между местным духовенством и христианскими общинами, с одной стороны, и европейскими колонизаторами и миссионерами, с другой, стали обостряться.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the prerequisites and results of the Diamper Council and their inﬂuence on the further fate of the Malankara Church. For this, the author uses axiomatic and inductive methods. The brief results of the study are as follows: the Diamper Cathedral is a key event in the church life of Indian Christians, the scale and importance of which can hardly be overestimated; The decisions of the Diamper Council affected all the Christians of India, who, against their will, found themselves in completely different conditions of church life. On the contrary, the decisions of the Diamper Council not only turned a signiﬁcant part of the Christian population against European church leaders, but also affected the interests of the Hindu communities, becoming one of the terms that ultimately formed in the minds of the indigenous people of India the image of a European as an invader who does not take into account any local culture. and traditions, nor with the local population as a whole. It is quite logical that in a short historical period after the completion of the Council, relations between the local clergy and Christian communities, on the one hand, and European colonizers and missionaries, on the other, began to worsen.
Devilskins or Hypocritically Raging: Referring to the Pre-Revolutionary Experience
Authors: Носачёв П.Г.
Published: June 2023

Через обращение к опыту дореволюционной психиатрии предлагается пересмотреть устоявшееся представление о кликушестве как исключительно притворном бесновании. Основой для анализа избрано самое крупное исследование кликушества тех лет – монография Н. В. Краинского «Порча, кликуши и беснование как явления русской народной жизни». Через сопоставление труда Краинского с работами его современников (А. А. Токарского, М. П. Никитина, М. Ю. Лахтина, В. С. Яковенко, А. Д. Коцовского) показана оригинальность его идей. В статье теория Краинского рассматривается в историко-культурном контексте, устанавливается, что фоном для её развития послужили представления об индуцированном психозе, развитые С. И. Штернбергом, В. И. Яковенко, В. М. Бехтеревым и истерическая концепция невроза Ж.-М. Шарко. Проведён подробный анализ исследования Краинского и доказано, что он выдвинул оригинальную концепцию кликушества как социального расстройства, не связанного с эпилепсией и истерией, но и не притворного, припадки кликуш Краинский объясняет чрезвычайной внушаемостью психики. Концепция Краинского сопоставляется с классическими западными исследованиями одержимости (Т. Остеррайх, И. Льюис) и показывается, что ему удалось предвосхитить их идеи. Делается вывод о том, что если следовать логике Краинского о чрезвычайной силе, с которой паттерны поведения одержимых закрепляются у людей, посещающих такие мероприятия, то необходимо максимально ограничивать круг лиц, который может участвовать в подобных действах.

Through an appeal to the experience of pre-revolutionary psychiatry, it is proposed to revise the well-established idea of klikushestvo as a false possession. The article is focused on the analysis of the most substantial of all prerevolutionary researches of the topic — monograph by n. V. Krainsky «Evil Eye, Klikushi and Possession as Phenomena of Russian Folk Life». Through the comparison of Krainsky’s work with the works of his contemporaries (A. A. Tokarsky, M. P. Nikitin, M. Y. Lakhtin, V. S. Yakovenko, A. D. Kotsovsky), the originality of his ideas is shown. The article examines Krainsky’s theory in a historical and cultural context, it is shown that the background for its development was the ideas about induced psychosis developed by S. I. Sternberg, V. I. Yakovenko, V. M. Bekhterev and the hysterical concept of neurosis by J.-M. Charcot. A detailed analysis of Krainsky’s research has been carried out and it is proved that he created the original concept of klikushestvo as a social disorder not related to epilepsy and hysteria, Krainsky explains klikushi’s seizures with extreme suggestibility of the psyche. Krainsky’s concept is compared with classical Western studies of possession (T. Osterreich, I. Lewis), it is shown that he managed to anticipate their ideas. It is concluded that if we follow Krainsky’s logic about the extreme force with which patterns of behavior of the possessed are ﬁxed in people attending public exorcisms, then it is necessary to limit as much as possible the circle of whose who can participate in such events.
The Gospel Сontext and its Сonnection with the Prince Myshkin in the Novel «The Idiot» by F. M. Dostoevsky
Authors: Железняк Дарья Романовна
Published: June 2023

Антропоцентризм художественного мира Ф. М. Достоевского, так или иначе связываемый с общим религиозно-философским вектором его исканий, занимает особое место в современных исследованиях творчества писателя. В данной статье осуществляется анализ евангельского контекста романа Достоевского «Идиот». Целью работы является описание смысло- и формообразующих доминант, заложенных в образе князя Мышкина и обусловливающих общую динамику сюжетного и композиционного развёртывания произведения. Данная цель достигается путём использования структурного, интертекстуального и концептуального методов, которые сосуществуют в исследовании в рамках герменевтического подхода. В работе предпринимается попытка анализа значения евангельского контекста не только в процессе конституирования «положительно прекрасного» образа Мышкина, но и в формировании структуры романа «Идиот», его смыслового поля в целом. Насыщенность романа евангельскими аллюзиями, его структурная соотнесённость с динамикой боговоплощения, всеобщей потери Бога и пронизывающей текст надеждой на Воскресение рассмотрены здесь в их непосредственной связи с этическими и аксиологическими установками автора в отношении образа князя Мышкина.

The anthropocentrism of F. M. Dostoevsky’s artistic world, which is associated with the general religious and philosophical vector of his searches, occupies a special place in modern studies of the writer’s work. This article appeals to the evangelical orientations of Dostoevsky’s novel «The Idiot», analyzed through the prism of «whole in the form of a hero», which is given in the novel. The purpose of the work is to designate and describe the meaning- and form-shaping dominants embedded in the image of Prince Myshkin, determining the overall dynamics of the plot and compositional development of the work. This goal is achieved with the use of structural, intertextual and conceptual methods that coexist in research within the hermeneutic approach. Thus, the work attempts to analyze the meaning of the gospel context not only in the process of constituting the «positively beautiful» character of Myshkin, but also in shaping the structure of the novel «The Idiot», its semantic field as a whole. The saturation of the novel with gospel allusions, its structural correlation with the dynamics of the incarnation, the universal loss of God and the hope of the Resurrection that permeates the text are considered here in their direct connection with the author’s ethical and axiological attitudes towards the image of Prince Myshkin

Conflicts between the Catholic Church and Salazar's “New State” 1958—1968
Authors: Filatov Georgy
Published: June 2023

In the 1960s relations between the Salazar regime and the Catholic church became increasingly tense. The article examines the reasons for this process according to the documents from the National Archives of Torre do Tombo. The paper analyses a series of conflicts between the prelates and the Portuguese state in the years 1958–1968. Despite some common patterns, the disagreements were caused by different circumstances. Some incidents were determined by the general growth of dissatisfaction with the Salazar regime, others were caused by the colonial war, and others were associated with the decisions of the Second Vatican Council. The most dangerous for the regime seemed to be the contradictions caused by changes in the church itself that occurred in the middle of the decade, since in this case the problems acquired a systemic character.

Despite economic tensions, political differences and international agendas with different orientations, the peaceful regional environment of the southern tip of the American continent and security and defense cooperation flourished during the first two decades of the post-Cold War era. This article presents the trajectory from the end of the Cold War to the establishment of UNASUR of regional security cooperation in the Southern Cone focusing on two dyads, the bilateral relations of the Argentine Republic with both the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Republic of Chile.
Social Credit System in China
Authors: Vinogradov Andrey
Published: June 2023

China's emerging nationwide social credit system is aimed at collecting and analyzing data on enterprises and individuals in order to assess the economic and social consequences of their activities, civic qualities, responsibility, and financial reliability. The preventive digital system for regulating public life looks like a continuation of China's social experiments in the second half of the 20th century. However, this time social engineering uses technical means that were previously unknown and devoid of the shortcomings of subjective assessment and application under the conditions of given parameters. Digitalization, therefore, has offered another tool for assessing social behavior — an additional control system based on strict mathematical principles and, importantly, in contrast to legal ones, operating in real time. In its regulatory function, it is comparable to moral norms, morality.
Taxonomy of Chinas’s “Green” Economy
Authors: Savinsky Sergey
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the development of the energy system of modern China. The analysis of the main directions of the formation of the system of renewable energy sources in the country is carried out, the current regulatory and legal acts regulating the direction of development in the field of energy are considered. In the PRC, under the current conditions, preference is given to economic growth and ensuring energy security due to a moderate increase in generating capacity from fossil sources using modern available technologies to minimize damage from their use, while simultaneously increasing renewable energy sources (RES). One of the main reasons for increasing renewable energy in China is strategic in nature: by increasing the share of renewable sources in its energy balance for electricity consumption, China can reduce geopolitical tensions, making the country less dependent on unstable regions in terms of energy security. The energy market, dependent on fossil fuels, depends on ensuring the safety of oil and gas transportation routes, but one of the main reasons why the Chinese government is promoting renewable energy is to reduce air pollution. The NPC Environmental Protection Committee has repeatedly noted that the production and consumption of fossil fuel energy is responsible for 90% of sulfur dioxide emissions in the country and that for this reason, 7 of the 10 most polluted cities in the world are located in China. The country is working on the reconstruction and modernization of production facilities in order to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, technologies for carbon capture, use and storage are being developed. Currently, the country is implementing a very important transition from control over the total volume of energy consumption and the energy intensity of GDP to a new “double control” — control over the total amount of carbon emissions and the intensity of emissions.

The domestic chemical industry urgently needs the creation of special high-class protective clothing that would allow working in extreme conditions without endangering the life and health of employees. In previous publications, it was determined that the necessary comprehensive protection against the effects of harmful production factors is provided by the creation and use of an insulating suit, which should become a barrier that prevents the penetration, and therefore the influence of mineral acids, alkalis, ammonia, salt solutions, etc. of different concentrations. That is, it is about the creation of special clothing with the required level of protection and preservation of such basic protective indicators as chemical resistance and impermeability of the material while preserving the tightness of the product as a whole. Equipment for preparation and locksmiths for cleaning closed containers for transportation and storage of aggressive environments can simultaneously be exposed not only to mineral acids, alkalis, salt solutions based on them, but also to the remains of liquid ammonia, the evaporation of which occurs when temperatures drop, which leads to primary destruction polymer coating materials for special suits. For example, local destruction in contact with liquid ammonia leads to a sharp cooling (up to – 340C) of the contact surface of the material and destruction of the polymer coating, especially during operation (in dynamics), which can lead to a violation of the tightness of the protective product. Since workers have to perform a significant number of work movements while wearing an insulating suit, there was a need to investigate such an indicator as the resistance of materials to both dynamic loads and static conditions at low temperature. The research was conducted on samples of materials with a polymer coating, which belong to the class of special purpose artificial leathers of both foreign and domestic manufacturers.

Portal cranes are widely used in various ports for transhipment operations. However, today in the river and sea ports of Ukraine, more than 88% of cranes have fulfilled the standard service life and continue to be operated. Since portal cranes are the main link in the technological process, therefore, the productivity of Port lines depends on their reliable and trouble-free operation. The analysis of statistical data shows that the processing and long-term operation of portal cranes in the mode of intense cyclic loading leads to the formation of fatigue defects and the subsequent failure of their components and accidents [1-9]. Therefore, ensuring safe and reliable operation is one of the main tasks in the design, modernization and operation of cranes. The analysis of works] showed that the reliability of portal crane mechanisms that have been soldered for more than 35 years in sea and river ports has not been sufficiently studied. For research, 24 identical Ganz cranes with a lifting capacity of 16 tons were selected, which operate in clamshell mode in sea and river ports. The analysis uses information contained in the respective maintenance and repair logs of the respective cranes from 2008 to 2021. Data analysis shows that the greatest number of failures is observed in the mechanisms of movement, lifting, changing the boom departure and metal structures of cranes. It should be noted that up to 75% of all time is spent on restoring the operation of reducers. The reasons for the failure of movement mechanisms are: wear of gears and shafts of gearboxes, destruction and wear of bearings in gearboxes, cracks in gearbox housings. The failures of the mechanisms for changing the reach of the boom are caused by wear of the teeth of the racks and gears, bearings and gear housings of the mechanism.

A study of the methodology of developing multi-platform applications using the Kotlin programming language was conducted. The method of developing a multi-platform application for Windows, Android, macOS and Linux operating systems is presented, which allows you to create musical melodies in a new format. The principles of declarative programming and frameworks for multi-platform development are studied. For the software implementation of individual native applications, native solutions have been chosen. This solution is facilitated by the use of Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose Multiplatform frameworks. Kotlin Multiplatform allows you to create a universal logic code of a multiplatform application, in combination with the Compose Multiplatform UI framework. Using such a combination makes it possible to write a single logic code and application interface for several platforms at the same time, which helps to save time and avoid a significant number of errors. The MVI architectural pattern is described, which best fits the declarative style of the Compose Multiplatform framework. The Dependency Injection design pattern is considered, as well as other tools for designing multiplatform applications, such as: the Kotlin Coroutines library to support asynchrony and parallel computing in Kotlin, the Gradle Kotlin DSL project assembly system, the Decompose library, and the MVIKotlin framework. A methodology for developing the architecture of Android application components is proposed. The modular structure of the project architecture is divided into two parts: the common module, which contains the main logic of the application, as well as platform implementations of components, and platform modules that perform initialization and launch of the application on a certain platform. Dependency implementation is used to establish access to repositories from application business logic components. The logic of implementing dependencies is described in Koin module files. A methodology is proposed that summarizes the methodology of developing multi-platform applications in the Kotlin programming language for developing user interfaces for several platforms.
