Currently, the problem of correct perception of information and its assimilation is acute, because every day students are forced to process a large amount of material, both educational and general, which significantly complicates memorization in class. In modern conditions, this problem has become more acute due to the pandemic, which has led to the need to organize the educational process with the help of distance learning tools and methods.

The competence of students in terms of safety rules both during the work process and in emergency situations is formed during the study of safety disciplines. Also, the acquisition of this area of ​​knowledge should form in students practical skills to prevent emergencies and the correct response in case of their occurrence. That is why high-quality assimilation of material and the ability to use the knowledge gained during the study of these disciplines, in the future play an important role in shaping a safe social environment.

The authors reviewed and analyzed the research of domestic and foreign experts on the formation of critical thinking during the educational process.

The article defines the concept of "critical thinking", presents the process of applying technologies for the development of critical thinking in students while studying in higher education and provides ways to improve the perception of the material.

According to the results of the research, the main methods of forming critical thinking in students during the educational process and, in particular, when studying the block of safety disciplines are determined. It is found out what means the teacher needs to promote the development of a rational perception of the material of security disciplines. It is proposed to use additional online resources that allow you to organize training with the use of multimedia technologies and ensure the simultaneous active interaction of both students with the teacher and between students during the lesson. The advantages and disadvantages of using certain resources are considered.

Without access to social media platform data we risk being left in the dark
Authors: Parry Douglas A.
Published: October 2023

Social media data are essential for studying human behaviour and understanding potential systemic risks. Social media platforms have, however, begun to remove access to this data. In response, other countries and regions have implemented legislation that compels platforms to provide researchers with data access. In South Africa, we have lagged behind the Global North when it comes to using platform data in our research and, given the recent access restrictions, we risk being left behind. In this commentary, I call attention to this critical issue and initiate a conversation about access to social media data in South Africa.

Authors: Hurova Inna
Published: October 2023

The aim of the article is to reveal the main stages of the research of fans in fan studies discourse and analyse the evolution of fan culture development that took place in the 21st century. Results. The article demonstrates that a separate scientific direction is dedicated to the study of fan communities in the Anglo-American academic environment — fan studies, which went through three distinct periods in their development: deviation, resistance (20th century), and mainstream (21st century). In the cultural aspect, the concepts of “fanatic/fanaticism” and “fan/ fandom” are distinguished. It is shown that Anglo-American fan studies define fan culture as an expressive lifestyle of fans of a certain cultural phenomenon or of a bearer of a certain cultural tradition, and in the last two decades, the fan studies direction, where fan culture is connected with fandom, has been intensively developing. It is stated that fandom is a self-organised community built around shared pleasure from a certain product of cultural industries in the digital media environment, and a fan is considered as a person who invests his time, energy, and money in interaction with a media product that is the object of his interests. The scientific novelty consists in determining the methodological status of the concept of “fan culture”, revealing the role of fan communities in the creation of popular culture in the 21st century. Conclusions. Fans began to play an active role in the processes of cultural creation, thanks to their creative work, there was a transition from passive consumption of mass culture products to active production of works of popular culture. Fan culture as a special community and environment of joint creative work among fans of literary works, television series, comics, and computer games, blurs the difference between consumption and production, becoming a vivid phenomenon of popular culture.
The Concept of Musical Nationalism in Compositional Creativity: A Theoretical Aspect
Authors: Astalosh Gabriella
Published: October 2023

The aim of the article is to reveal the essence of the concept of musical nationalism and the principles of its manifestations in professional compositional creative work. Results. The need for national identity, the desire to express oneself, and the focus on uniqueness drive humanity towards creating certain products of activity in the scientific, research, and creative spheres, collectively shaping the patriotic mentality of the entire nation. Every conscious artist who aims to lobby for national content in the socio-cultural and even political space through his creative work appeals to factors that are reproduced in the audience’s imagination as a symbol, code of the nation. The search for means and forms of expressing originality based on national characteristics, and the desire for cultural autonomy via the reproduction and artistic reinterpretation of typical features, mythology, mentality, folklore, etc. create traditions of the national style. The way this paradigm is expressed depends on the depth of experience of national issues by the author of an art work. Musical nationalism becomes the highest degree of realisation of the national idea in creative work, forms a unique concept, a content of which consists in conscious and purposeful reproduction by artists by means of music of bright national-mental attributes, values, ideas, thinking patterns and philosophising, psycho-emotional characteristics, temperament, world perception, and worldview, etc. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the history of Ukrainian art studies, the term “concept of musical nationalism” is introduced into scholarly discourse, and its meaning and the expediency of its use are explained. Conclusions. The professional musical art of any country becomes a reflection of the cultural heritage of the nation, and is based on the synthesis of the artistic content of the art sample, its emotional message, and those specific means of expression that are most capable of revealing the context of the work. One of the most distinctive identifiers of compositional creativity is the national factor, manifested by the artist in presenting characteristic features of the local society, certain archetypes, and traditions, which are originally interpreted in his heritage. A conscious, purposeful approach to the ideological content of music is the result of the author's creative reflection, a reflection through the prism of his own stylistic preferences and priorities of a number of national ideals, national dreams, centuries-old aspirations of his native people influenced by specific historical and political factors. All this forms the concept of musical nationalism.

Authors: Hatipova Inna
Published: October 2023

The aim of the article is to reveal the compositional and dramaturgical logic, as well as the features of the expressive musical means used in the Variations for Piano by Moldovan composer Marian Stârcea in relation to their performance interpretation. The research results are based on the presentation of Stârcea's Variations as a composition that exemplifies the Moldovan compositional tradition, created at the beginning of the author’s creative work and reflecting the characteristic features of his individual style. M. Stârcea turned to the genre of piano variations along with other young composers of the Republic of Moldova, such as T. Chiriac, V. Cholac, V. Beliaev, and many others. Each composer demonstrated a desire to find an individual interpretation of this genre form. M. Stârcea's Variations are characterised by an organic synthesis of the compositional logic of the classical and romantic variation cycle, jazz stylistics, and folklore elements of the musical language. The scientific novelty of the article lies in its comprehensive examination of M. Stârcea's Variations for Piano, which is done for the first time. The practical significance of the work is determined by the possibility of using its materials by performing pianists and teachers of musical educational institutions in their work on the piece. The conclusions summarise the main ideas arising from the compositional and dramaturgical features of M. Stârcea's Variations, as well as their interpretation by students and performing pianists. Understanding the logic of the continuous development of the variation form, enriched with jazz techniques and folk elements, is the optimal way to an adequate comprehension and individual performance vision of this piece. The subsequent comparison of M. Stârcea's Variations for Piano with other works by this author, as well as with examples of variations by other composers, will allow us to develop and enrich the results obtained, which will contribute to the further development of a research approach to the issues of performing interpretation.

Authors: Sariyildiz Mustafa Akif , Batmaz Ibrahim , Hattapoğlu Salih
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Epidural steroid injections are common procedures used to treat lumbosacral radicular pain due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH). It is crucial for the clinician to anticipate which patients can benefit from interventional treatment options. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the effect of radiological and clinical parameters on lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESI)/local anesthetic injection outcomes in patients with LDH. METHODS: This study included 286 patients with LDH (146 males and 140 females). All patients received a fluoroscopically guided TFESI (triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg, lidocaine 2%, and 2.5 ml of physiological saline). Patients were evaluated according to radicular pain, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale at baseline and 3 months after the injections. Demographic, clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were recorded to assess the predictive factors for TFESI outcomes. Pfirrmann Grades 1 and 2 were classified as low-grade nerve root compression and Grade 3 was classified as highgrade nerve root compression. RESULTS: Compared to baseline measurements there were significant improvements in radicular pain, ODI score, Laseque angle, and Schober test scores 3 months after injection. Improvements of at least 50% in radicular pain relief and the ODI functionality index were (n= 214) 82%, (n= 182) 70% respectively at 3 months. Correlation analyses revealed that a shorter duration of symptoms, lowgrade nerve root compression and foraminal/extraforaminal location on MRI findings were associated with a favorable response. CONCLUSIONS: Lowgrade nerve root compression was a predictor of a favorable response to TFESI.
Incremental density clustering framework based on dynamic microlocal clusters
Authors: Zhang Tao , Li Decai , Dong Jingya , He Yuqing , Chang Yanchun
Published: October 2023

With the prevailing development of the internet and sensors, various streaming raw data are generated continually. However, traditional clustering algorithms are unfavorable for discovering the underlying patterns of incremental data in time; clustering accuracy cannot be assured if fixed parameters clustering algorithms are used to handle incremental data. In this paper, an Incremental-Density-Micro-Clustering (IDMC) framework is proposed to address this concern. To reduce the succeeding clustering computation, we design the Dynamic-microlocal-clustering method to merge samples from streaming data into dynamic microlocal clusters. Beyond that, the Density-center-based neighborhood search method is proposed for periodically merging microlocal clusters to global clusters automatically; at the same time, these global clusters are updated by the Dynamic-cluster-increasing method with data streaming in each period. In this way, IDMC processes sensor data with less computational time and memory, improves the clustering performance, and simplifies the parameter choosing in conventional and stream data clustering. Finally, experiments are conducted to validate the proposed clustering framework on UCI datasets and streaming data generated by IoT sensors. As a result, this work advances the state-of-the-art of incremental clustering algorithms in the field of sensors’ streaming data analysis.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:

Excess heat accrual is perhaps the body’s most dangerous exercise-induced stressor. While palm cooling uses conduction to reduce body temperatures, to date the volume of heat transferred by this treatment resulting from exercise is unknown.

OBJECTIVE:

Asses continuous palm cooling’s impact on heat transfer and physiology.

METHODS:

Thirty-one subjects did two workouts; one with, and one without, palm cooling. Workouts entailed consecutive stages of submaximal pedaling against prescribed workloads. Gloves were worn at workouts; for palm cooling 10.6∘C gel packs were inserted into gloves at the workout’s start and conclusion. Heart rate, auditory canal and palm skin temperatures, and heat transfer across the palm were collected. Data were obtained pre-exercise, at the end of a warm-up, and at multiple times during the 25 minutes of pedaling and 30 minutes of recovery.

RESULTS:

Auditory canal temperatures had a significant treatment effect (palm cooling [Formula: see text] non-palm cooling). Palm skin temperature had an interaction, with higher non-palm cooling values at multiple times. Conversely, heat transfer also produced an interaction, but palm cooling had significantly higher values at multiple times. Heat transfer was 32% higher for the palm cooling workout.

CONCLUSIONS:

Continuous palm cooling produced significantly higher heat transfer from submaximal exercise.
A novel deep learning based intrusion detection system for the IoT-Cloud platform with blockchain and data encryption mechanisms
Authors: Ponniah Krishna Kumar , Retnaswamy Bharathi
Published: October 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) integrated Cloud (IoT-Cloud) has gotten much attention in the past decade. This technology’s rapid growth makes it even more critical. As a result, it has become critical to protect data from attackers to maintain its integrity, confidentiality, protection, privacy, and the procedures required to handle it. Existing methods for detecting network anomalies are typically based on traditional machine learning (ML) models such as linear regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and so on. Although these methods can produce some outstanding results, they have low accuracy and rely heavily on manual traffic feature design, which has become obsolete in the age of big data. To overcome such drawbacks in intrusion detection (ID), this paper proposes a new deep learning (DL) model namely Morlet Wavelet Kernel Function included Long Short-Term Memory (MWKF-LSTM), to recognize the intrusions in the IoT-Cloud environment. Initially, to maintain a user’s privacy in the network, the SHA-512 hashing mechanism incorporated a blockchain authentication (SHABA) model is developed that checks the authenticity of every device/user in the network for data uploading in the cloud. After successful authentication, the data is transmitted to the cloud through various gateways. Then the intrusion detection system (IDS) using MWKF-LSTM is implemented to identify the type of intrusions present in the received IoT data. The MWKF-LSTM classifier comes up with the Differential Evaluation based Dragonfly Algorithm (DEDFA) optimal feature selection (FS) model for increasing the performance of the classification. After ID, the non-attacked data is encrypted and stored in the cloud securely utilizing Enhanced Elliptical Curve Cryptography (E2CC) mechanism. Finally, in the data retrieval phase, the user’s authentication is again checked to ensure user privacy and prevent the encrypted data in the cloud from intruders. Simulations and statistical analysis are performed, and the outcomes prove the superior performance of the presented approach over existing models.

Published: October 2023

In the past two years, 2020-2022, the developing construction industry has been a huge issue according to the negative effect of Covid-19 with the increasing pandemic situation in cities and areas. In Covid-19 pandemic situation, the cement manufacturing industry has been crucial and needed more scrutiny. As cement is the second significant component after water in concrete and construction industry. Meanwhile, locating a cement plant in a special area of the city is challenging and affecting more by local communities and other involved environmental factors. The location selection decisions need to grow by environmental, economic, technical and social attributes. This study aims to present the site suitability decisions through a case study of locating a new manufacturing plant for cement production in Tehran surrounding, Iran. In this process, some required technical and tactical criteria are deserved for evaluating and suitability of the plant through decision-makers for cement manufacturing. All the feasible industrial alternative locations were evaluated under various criteria and regarding the Covid-19 pandemic’s negative impact to identify the most appropriate location for the cement industry. The authors proposed two Multi-Criteria Decision Attributes (MCDA) methods of MacBeth and COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS) to evaluate and select the most suitable location for site suitability of the cement plant in this problem. Though the MacBeth method does not need to calculate weights of the Geographical Information System (GIS) criteria, the COPRAS method determined and used BWM (Best-Worst Method) as the weighing method. In sum, the comparison of the two methods was obtained according to the given results and ranks of volunteer cement suppliers for site suitability of the cement plant.

Authors: Prabakaran G. , Jayanthi K.
Published: October 2023

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a severe disease in respiratory syndrome. Early identification and efficient treatment of COVID-19 are not presented which provides ineffective treatment. This research develops an efficient system for early detection and segmentation of COVID-19 severity with the consideration of CT images. To overcome the abovementioned drawbacks, we develop the optimized Mask R-CNN method to train and test the dataset to classify and segment the COVID-19 disease. The proposed technique contains three phases which are, pre-processing, segmentation, and severity analysis. Initially, the patient’s CT images are collected from a different clinic. Then, the noise present in the images is detached with a Gaussian filter. Then, the pre-processed images are given to the optimized mask region-based convolution neural network (OMRCNN) classifier to detect, classify and segment the image. After segmentation, the severity of the disease is examined. To enhance the performance of the mask RCNN classifier, the parameter is efficiently chosen by using the adaptive red deer algorithm. In the adaptive red deer algorithm, the levy flight is utilized to enhance the updating process. The performance of the proposed technique is analyzed based on various metrics.

Authors: Wang Hui , Liu Ensheng , Wei Hokai
Published: October 2023

A machine for tunnel boring machine (TBM) is recognized as productive equipment for tunnel construction. A dependable and precise tunnel boring machine’s performance (such as penetration rate (ROP)) prediction could reduce the cost and help choose the suitable construction method. Hence, this research develops new integrated artificial intelligence methods, i.e., biogeography-based multilayer perceptron neural network (BMLP) and biogeography-based support vector regression (BSVR), to forecast TBMPR. Using the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm aims to improve the developed model’s performance by determining the optimized neuron number of hidden layers for MLP models and the ideal values of the essential variables of SVR method. The results show that advanced methods can productively make a nonlinear relation among the ROP and its forecasters to obtain a satisfying forecast. Amongst the BMLP models with several hidden substrates, BM5L with five hidden substrates could attain the total ranking score (TRS) greatest rate, with root mean squared error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) equal to 0.017 and 0.9969. Simultaneously, the BSVR was the supreme model because of the fewer RMSE (0.00497 m/hr) and a larger R2 (0.999) compared with BMLP models. Overall, the acquired TRSs show that the BSVR outperforms the BMLP in terms of performance. As a consequence, the BSVR model may have been chosen as the suggested model if it had been able to accurately forecast the observed value even better than BM5L.

Published: October 2023

Compared with other facial expression recognition, classroom facial expression recognition should pay more attention to the feature extraction of a specific region to reflect the attention of students. However, most features are extracted with complete facial images by deep neural networks. In this paper, we proposed a new expression recognition based on attention mechanism, where more attention would be paid in the channel information which have much relationship with the expression classification instead of depending on all channel information. A new classroom expression classification has also been concluded with considering the concentration. Moreover, activation function is modified to reduce the number of parameters and computations, at the same time, dropout regularization is added after the pool layer to prevent overfitting of the model. The experiments show that the accuracy of our method named Ixception has an maximize improvement of 5.25% than other algorithms. It can well meet the requirements of the analysis of classroom concentration.
Theoretical justification of the assessment of contamination of surface water resources by underground runoff as a result of military operations
Authors: Voloshkina Olena , Zhukova Olena , Marshall Daniil
Published: October 2023

Military actions on the territory of Ukraine cause a negative impact on the quality of water resources due to the ingress of contaminated effluents into underground horizons due to the destruction and/or damage of treatment facilities. This work deals with the definition of theoretical approaches to the quantitative assessment of pollution entering surface water resources through underground feeding due to damage to protective screens in ponds, storage tanks of various types and tailings storage facilities. The spread of contamination in case of screen damage was noted in three stages: wetting of the aeration zone from the damaged lining to the surface of the underground flow; non-stationary rise in the groundwater level with the formation of a water dome; became filtering in the direction of discharge of underground flow. The problem of the loss of piezometric head during the passage of the filtration flow through the screen structure and the determination of the flow of polluted water from the specified structure based on this value are considered. An analytical solution to the problem of wetting the aeration zone from the damaged lining to the surface of the pressureless underground flow is given. Taking into account the increase in the permeability coefficient of the screen due to damage, increased cracking, gusts, it was established that if its value is greater than or equal to 1.0*10-2m/day, the effect of screen protection can be ignored, and the filtration costs can be calculated according to the well-known infiltration formulas from unlined sewage treatment plant. The proposed approaches at different stages of filtration losses from the sewage treatment plant may in the future form the basis of the development of methods for calculating the migration of pollutants, taking into account the various sources of their entry into the groundwater, depending on the degree of damage to the shielded sewage treatment facilities.

Published: October 2023

The paper considers the peculiarities of creating digital copies of objects using reverse engineering technology. The main process used in reverse engineering is the processing of digital copies of objects, which is called photogrammetry. The reverse engineering process consists of the following stages. First, a 3D scan of the product and scan data processing is performed. The received digital data (polygonal mesh) is converted into a CAD file, which can be used to change the shape and topology of the model in accordance with the project. Based on this, an analysis of the two main technologies on which photogrammetry is based was performed: 1) laser triangulation method (laser scanners are used), 2) structured light method (optical scanners are used). The main disadvantages of using laser triangulation when scanning machine parts and methods of reducing their negative impact on the final result are given. The process of determining the position of a point when scanning parts by the laser triangulation method is considered in detail. Equations for normalizing the position of the point and equations that remove the distortion of the point due to the aberration of the camera lens are given. An equation for determining the width of a laser beam is presented, on the basis of which its main geometric characteristics are determined. A general diagram of the influence of the main factors on the quality of the process of scanning parts by the method of laser triangulation is constructed. One of the varieties of scanning objects using structured light is the range imaging (SfM) technique. The SfM technique is a process of estimating a three-dimensional structure from a sequence of two-dimensional images that can be associated with local traffic signals. The position of the camera in space is used to find the x,y,z coordinates of each pixel. An overview of the main software for creating and editing a structured polygonal mesh based on scan data is carried out. As a study of the process of reverse engineering technology, a connecting rod of a car engine was scanned by the SfM method and its digital model was created.

Published: October 2023

Purple sweet potatoes are highly prevalent in Indonesia and possess numerous advantageous qualities. However, the susceptibility of fresh purple sweet potatoes to damage during storage necessitates the implementation of a drying or sieging process. The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of fluctuations in drying temperature on the physicochemical properties of purple sweet potato flour (Ipomea batatas L.). The research methodology employed in this study utilises a complete randomised design (RAL) with a single factor, namely temperature, which consists of four levels (50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C). Each level of temperature is repeated three times, resulting in a total of three repetitions. The data underwent analysis utilising the ANOVA test to determine the presence of a significant difference. Subsequently, the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) analysis was conducted at a significance level of 0.05. The parameters examined encompass physical attributes, such as yield, water absorption, and kamba density, as well as chemical attributes, including moisture content, ash content, and coarse fibre content. The findings indicate that variations in drying temperature significantly impact the physical properties, including vehurrence, water absorption, and kamba density. The variation in drying temperature has adiscernible impact on both moisture content and fibre content, while it does not exhibit a perceptible influence on ash content. Based on the findings from the analysis of the purple sweet potato flour test, it has been determined that the treatment with the lowest water content was recorded at 7.68% under a temperature of 50°C. Similarly, the treatment with the lowest ash content was observed at 2.23% under the same temperature condition. Conversely, the treatment with the highest fibre content was measured at 4.33%. Furthermore, the treatment with the highest yield was obtained at 22.28% under a temperature of 50°C. Additionally, the treatment with the highest water absorption was recorded at 114.66% under the same temperature condition. Lastly, the treatment with the lowest bulk density was observed at 71.05 g/ml under a temperature of 80°C.

Published: October 2023

Background: Learning analytics (LA) is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts to understand and optimize learning and the environments in which it occurs. Most teaching and learning (T & L) data was obtained from learning management systems (LMS), such as Moodle platform. However, this data is not utilized for teaching purposes, for example, learning how students’ activities can influence the final exam marks. Methods: Therefore, this study aims to find a correlation and develop a prediction model between students’ activities, independent variables known as LMS factors, against dependence variables, which are students’ final results. Besides, four non-LMS factors (race, sponsorship, admission requirements and final coursework marks) were also included in the research to obtain the best model. The regression analysis, models are used to predict the outcomes by evaluating the accuracies of testing data. Results: The findings reveal that the best model utilizes Simple Linear Regression (SLR) with coursework as an independent variable, resulting in an average error difference (AED) of only 1.8. The remaining experiments produced AED results ranging from 2.74 to 7.58 using Multilinear Regression (MR).

Published: October 2023

Актуальність дослідження зумовлена необхідністю розбудови української блогосфери і розвитку культурного коду українського народу, пов’язаних із актуалізацією національної свідомості та ідентичності. Дослідження виявило, що сучасна українська блогосфера виступає тим засобом розвитку культурного коду українського народу, який доступний українським блогерами з будь-якого куточку землі у зв’язку із зростаючою агресією Росії по відношенню до України. Наразі медійне середовище слугує засобом не лише репрезентації особистості, але й цілої нації, яка прагне до самоствердження та відродження. Разом з тим варто зазначити, що існують певні проблеми у використанні медійного середовища для розвитку культурного коду народу, які значно обмежують українських блогерів у повній мірі відстоювати свою національну ідентичність. Предметом дослідження стала українська блогосфера, яка охоплює як професійних блогерів, так і аматорів, які зацікавлені у розвитку культурного коду у медійному середовищі. Це зумовлене популярністю соціальних мереж та широкими можливостями медійного середовища для оптимізації комунікації між людьми з різних країн. Мета дослідження – розглянути особливості розвитку культурного коду народу в українській блогосфері. Для досягнення мети були використані методи аналізу наукової літератури з досліджуваної теми, анкетування та аналіз отриманих результатів з використанням статистичного аналізу, контент-аналіз. Результати дослідження встановили, що українські блогери ведуть активну пропаганду національно-культурних цінностей у медійному середовищі з метою розвитку культурного коду народу, реалізація якого відбувається як на мовному, так і на позамовному рівні. Більшість українських блогерів вказують на високий потенціал візуального контенту у розвитку культурного коду народу у соціальних мережах з метою акцентування уваги цільової аудиторії на ключових культурних складових. Розвиток української блогосфери та активне залучення до цього процесу національно-культурної складової свідчить про широкі можливості медійного простору для розвитку культурного коду народу, який актуалізується на усіх мовних та позамовних рівнях, що, в свою чергу, вказує на перспективність подальших досліджень визначеної проблеми.

Стаття має на меті дослідити вплив цифровізації та медіатизації на еволюцію комунікативної культури сучасного суспільства. Головні цілі полягають в аналізі впливу таких процесів, визначенні основних викликів і переваг, як для окремих осіб, так і для суспільства в цілому, а також пропозиції стратегій для підвищення комунікативної компетентності в цьому мінливому сьогоденні. У статті піднято проблему цифровізації та медіатизації, що передбачає трансформацію різних аспектів життя в цифрові формати та інтеграцію медіа в соціальні сфери, формують способи спілкування та взаємодії людей. Аналізуючи ці тенденції, автори прагнули з’ясувати, як комунікаційні моделі та норми вплинули на процес навчання. Окрім того, у статті розглядаються потенційні виклики, які виникають у зв’язку з цими процесами, такі як перевантаження інформацією, проблеми конфіденційності та поширення дезінформації. У статті окреслено позитивні аспекти цього процесу, включаючи розширення глобального зв’язку, покращений доступ до інформації та демократизацію створення та розповсюдження контенту. Зарубіжні автори (Д. Белшоу, Б. Гірш, Г. Крибер та Р. Мартін (Л. Манович, Дж. Стоммел та ін., вітчизняні науковці (В. Биков, Д. Галкін, М. Лещенко, П. Матюшко, О. Овчарук, В. Ребрина та ін.) розтлумачують категорії «цифрової грамотності», «цифрової компетентності», «цифрової культури» та дотичні до них поняття, визначають їх структуру та специфічні особливості, пов’язані зі стрімким розвитком сучасних інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій. У цьому дослідженні обговорюються стратегії розвитку навичок ефективної комунікації, медіаграмотності, критичного мислення та етичної цифрової поведінки. Підвищуючи комунікативну компетентність, у статті стверджується, що люди можуть краще орієнтуватися в складнощах цифровізації та медіатизації, одночасно вносячи позитивний внесок у ширший суспільний дискурс. Отже, у статті досліджено вплив цифровізації та медіатизації на комунікативну культуру, висвітлено виклики та можливості цього процесу, що має на меті надати рекомендаціїї щодо зміцнення комунікативної компетентності в контексті цих трансформацій, зрештою прагнучи до більш ефективного та відповідального спілкування в епоху цифрових технологій.
ІНТЕРПРЕТАЦІЯ КОНЦЕПТІВ ЯК ХУДОЖНІХ ФЕНОМЕНІВ
Authors: МЕЛЬНИЧУК Оксана
Published: October 2023

Роль концептів як художніх феноменів стосується ідей, тем, емоцій та повідомлень, які передаються через фізичний і сенсорний досвід, описаний автором-наратором у тексті. Метою статті є встановити значущі концепти на основі їх частотності у художньому тексті «Спокута» І. Мак’юена та окреслити аспекти інтерпретації художніх концептів. У аналізі художнього тексту вивчення концептів передбачає дослідження того, як сенсорні деталі, фізичні дії та середовище впливають на загальні теми та повідомлення оповіді. Інтерпретація концептів як художніх феноменів має опертя на: (1) «ефект» занурення; (2) символізм та метафору; (3) розвиток персонажів; (4) теми та повідомлення; (5) емоційний вплив; (6) побудову художнього світу; (7) атмосферу та тон. Художні концепти як втілений естетичний досвід автора-наратора відіграють вирішальну роль у втіленні абстрактних ідей, дозволяючи читачам емоційно «відчувати» персонажів. Використання сенсорних деталей та фізичного досвіду збагачує сприйняття, залучаючи численні аспекти людського розуміння та інтерпретації. Методологія дослідження художніх концептів ґрунтується на комп’ютерному кількісному аналізі вживання найчастотніших слів у художньому тексті, які відтворюють художні концепти та відіграють важливу роль у вираженні теми і передаванні загального змісту, та якісній інтерпретації сцен тексту з метою виявлення аспектів інтерпретації. Наукова новизна полягає у виявленні естетичного впливу художніх концептів на формування сутності художнього тексту та висвітленні його основних тем через представлення художніх концептів. Частотна лексика у художньому тексті виявляє не тільки повторювані елементи; вона має силу представити тему та здійснити внесок у загальне повідомлення. Висновки. У результаті проведеного теоретичного та практичного кількісного комп’ютерного аналізу було виявлено значущі концепти у художньому тексті «Спокута» (HOME, LOVE, ATONEMENT, NURSING, TIME, WAR, CARE) та встановлено аспекти інтерпретації художніх концептів.
