The emerging pollutant octocrylene is not efficiently removed from effluents by conventional treatment and is recurrently found in rivers. This study evaluated the adsorption of octocrylene using commercial carbon and biochar from spent coffee grounds activated with ZnCl2. The two adsorbents had an efficiency of approximately 100% in pollutant removal throughout the experimental design. The kinetics and equilibrium isotherms showed a good correlation with the experimental data. The kinetics showed adsorption of the contaminant in 40 min for both adsorbents. The model equilibrium isotherms with the best fit and adsorption capacity was Langmuir for biochar, with a capacity of 37.822 ± 0.005 µg∙mg−1 compared to 33.602 ± 0.202 µg∙mg−1 for commercial carbon. Furthermore, a toxicity analysis of a 600 µg∙L−1 octocrylene solution was carried out before and after adsorption with the two charcoals separately, using Allium cepa roots. Before adsorption, the solution was phytotoxic and cytogenotoxic. After adsorption, the solution obtained for each charcoal no longer caused toxicity to the roots. The charcoals tested had high removal efficiency and adsorption capacity, a condition reiterated by the toxicity results. However, biochar better represented the Langmuir model in the adsorption process when removing octocrylene from the aqueous medium.

Published: June 2024

The improvement and exploitation of saline–alkali soil is a hot topic worldwide. Analysis of soil aggregate structure and water and of the salt transport law, a new technology that uses humic acid as a saline–alkali soil amendment has been proposed. These advancements may effectively improve the soil aggregate structure of saline–alkali soil at the source. In this study, biological pyrolysis liquid was modified to produce soil modifier for saline–alkali land, and this soil modifier was used in a rice planting experiment. The results show that the application of a bio-humic acid soil amendment in the amount of 3000 kg/ha and its combination with humic acid fertilizer produced rice yields as high as 9750 kg/ha. At the same time, the pH of the soil was reduced from 10.81 to 8.95 (with bio-humic acid soil amendment content of 3000 kg/ha), and the soil organic matter demonstrated a trend of increasing with an increased amount of bio-humic acid soil amendment. The content of calcium, magnesium, and trace elements in the soil were clearly increased with the use of the amended soil in comparison with the normal group. With this amendment, saline–alkali land could be transformed and planted in the same year, increasing the potential yearly income for the land. This may be efficient and environmentally friendly, encouraging the agricultural circular economy.
God, Philosophers and Theologians in Africa
Authors: Aleke Patrick O.
Published: June 2024

There is renewed interest in philosophical and theological investigations about God, religions and the implications of religious beliefs among philosophers and theologians in Africa. This development is itself profitable because the question or the problem of God is a relevant discourse in Africa where the majority of people are theists. However, unlike the exploration of the first-generation African scholars—philosophers and theologians—whose primary objective was to show the symmetry between Christianity and African Traditional Religions (ATR), contemporary discourses arise within the clamour for decoloniality. The investigations, with varied emphasis, advocate the decolonisation of the concept of God, epistemic decolonisation, decolonisation of Christianity and African Christian theology, etc. In this essay, I critically examine the contemporary decolonial discourse about God, divine attributes, religious belief, and the relationship between African Christian theology and ATR. I argue that most of the contemporary literature is entangled in conceptual convolution and as such, there is a lack of clarity about what needs to be decolonised. Put differently, most works do not clearly distinguish between reality (the person or phenomenon “God”), thought (the concept “God”), and conceptions of God (language, that is, the terms and images used in making assertions about God). Further, I argue that when conceptual clarifications are adequately attended to, there is no need for decolonisation of discourses about God, divine nature, divine attributes, and the relationship between Christianity and ATR.

Published: June 2024

As an important form of night-time economy, night tourism is in urgent need of innovation and upgrading to cope with market changes. As an important part of the night tourism experience, the spatial vitality of night parks is also an important factor affecting the quality of night tourism and economic development. By summarizing the literature and the content requirements affecting the vitality of night parks, this study scientifically and objectively designates an index system containing six evaluation indicators, including Environmental adaptability, abundance of facilities, park attractiveness, Ease of travelling, environmental comfort, and social interconnectedness, based on visitor questionnaires and analysis. The hierarchical analysis method and entropy weight method are used to combine and assign the factors that have a greater impact on the spatial vitality of night parks. The evaluation results show that the environmental security and location significantly affect the spatial vitality of the night park, that is, the social interconnectedness and the park attractiveness have a greater impact on the spatial vitality of the night park. Therefore, in the subsequent construction of the night park, in order to effectively activate the spatial vitality, the visitors’ perception of the safety of the environment and the degree of locational advantage should be prioitised.
The Impact of Digital Trade Barriers on Technological Innovation Efficiency and Sustainable Development
Authors: Yan Modan , Liu Haiyun
Published: June 2024

The global digitization trend provides a favorable development environment for the efficient acquisition of knowledge and technology. However, restrictions imposed by countries on digital trade have hindered this trend. This study is based on 60 sample countries to study the impact of the digital trade barrier (DTB) on the technology innovation efficiency (TIE) of each country and the pathways from 2014 to 2020. Research finds that DTB significantly inhibits TIE. Among the five different policy fields that form DTB, Infrastructure and Connecting DTB and Other DTB have the greatest negative impact on TIE. A mechanism analysis found that DTB increases the difficulty of acquiring knowledge spillover and the high cost of research and development, leading to the mismatch and low efficiency of innovation resources, ultimately leading to a reduction in technological innovation efficiency in various countries. Participating in international technological innovation networks and improving technological innovation capabilities have a moderating effect on the aforementioned negative impacts that is beneficial for the sustainable development of national technological innovation. Heterogeneity tests indicate that countries with weaker innovation capabilities, low- and middle-income countries, and countries that have not joined the OECD have a more significant negative impact. This study serves as an important reference for the government to adjust digital trade policies and guide the effective use of external resources for sustainable and efficient technological innovation.
Smart Insertion Strategies for Sustainable Operation of Shared Autonomous Vehicles
Authors: Tiwari Sapan , Nassir Neema , Lavieri Patricia Sauri
Published: June 2024

As shared autonomous vehicles (SAV) emerge as an economical and feasible mode of transportation in modern cities, effective optimization models are essential to simulate their service. Traditional optimization approaches, based on first-come-first-served principles, often result in sub-optimal outcomes and, more notably, can impact public transport (PT) operations by creating unnecessary competition. This study introduces four insertion strategies within the MATSim model of the Melbourne Metropolitan Area, addressing these challenges. Two strategies optimize SAV operations by considering overall network costs, and the other two make insertion decisions based on the available PT service in the network. The findings show that strategic insertions of the requests can significantly enhance SAV service quality by improving the vehicle load and decreasing vehicle and empty kilometers traveled per ride. The analysis indicates that these strategies are particularly effective for smaller fleet sizes, leading to an increased number of served rides and a more equitable distribution of wait times across the network, reflected in an improved Gini Index. The findings suggest that prioritization-based insertions significantly enhance service quality by prioritizing users with limited access to PT, ensuring that those with fewer PT options are served first, and encouraging a more integrated and sustainable urban transportation system.

Published: June 2024

In this paper, we extend the invariant subspace method to a class of short pulse-type equations. Complete classification results with invariant subspaces from 2 to 5 dimensions are provided. The key step is to take subspaces of solutions of linear ordinary differential equations as invariant subspaces that nonlinear operators admit. Some concrete examples and corresponding reduced systems are presented to illustrate this method.

Published: June 2024

This study explores the impact of an adiabatic obstacle on the symmetry of temperature, flow, and electric charge fields during electrohydrodynamic (EHD) natural convection. The configuration studied involves a square, differentially heated cavity with an adiabatic obstacle subjected to a destabilizing thermal gradient and a potential difference between horizontal walls. A numerical analysis was performed using the finite volume method combined with Patankar’s “blocked-off-regions” technique, employing an in-house FORTRAN code. The study covers a range of dimensionless electrical Rayleigh numbers (0 to 700) and thermal Rayleigh numbers (102 to 105), with various obstacle positions. Key findings indicate that while the obstacle reduces heat transfer, this can be counterbalanced by electric field effects, achieving up to 165% local heat transfer improvement and 100% average enhancement. Depending on the obstacle’s position and size, convective transfer can increase by 27% or decrease by 21%. The study introduces five multiparametric mathematical correlations for rapid Nusselt number determination, applicable to numerous engineering scenarios. This work uniquely combines passive (adiabatic obstacle) and active (electric field) techniques to control heat transfer, providing new insights into the flow behaviour and charge distribution in electro-thermo-hydrodynamic systems.

Published: June 2024

Experimental evolution studies, in which biological populations are evolved in a specific environment over time, can address questions about the nature of spontaneous mutations, responses to selection, and the origins and maintenance of novel traits. Here, we review more than 30 years of experimental evolution studies using the bacteriophage (phage) Φ6 cystovirus. Similar to many lab-studied bacteriophages, Φ6 has a high mutation rate, large population size, fast generation time, and can be genetically engineered or cryogenically frozen, which facilitates its rapid evolution in the laboratory and the subsequent characterization of the effects of its mutations. Moreover, its segmented RNA genome, outer membrane, and capacity for multiple phages to coinfect a single host cell make Φ6 a good non-pathogenic model for investigating the evolution of RNA viruses that infect humans. We describe experiments that used Φ6 to address the fitness effects of spontaneous mutations, the consequences of evolution in the presence of coinfection, the evolution of host ranges, and mechanisms and consequences of the evolution of thermostability. We highlight open areas of inquiry where further experimentation on Φ6 could inform predictions for pathogenic viruses.

Published: June 2024

During acute respiratory infections, women may concurrently receive human papillomavirus (HPV) and respiratory vaccines, as observed during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in China. However, few studies have assessed the safety of such concurrent administration, which could impact HPV vaccination schedules. This study analyzes the safety and optimal sequence of concurrent HPV and COVID-19 vaccinations. For this purpose, we surveyed women with both vaccines from January to October 2023 in Fujian Province, China. During this process, we collected vaccination history and adverse event (AE) data via telephone or interviews. Participants were grouped as Before, Concurrent, or After based on their vaccination sequence. A Chi-squared test, exact Fisher tests, and logistic regression were used to analyze the incidence of AEs and factors influencing vaccine safety. Overall, 1416 eligible participants were included. Although overall AE risk with the HPV vaccine was unaffected by vaccination sequence, individual AEs varied statistically between groups, including pain at the vaccination site (p < 0.001) and prolonged menstruation duration (p = 0.003). Based on the results, the optimal sequence would be to receive the HPV vaccine after the COVID-19 vaccine (After group). This insight may guide future emergency vaccination sequences for HPV and other respiratory infectious diseases.

Published: June 2024

Discospondylitis is a well-recognized disease in dogs, but the relative prevalence of causal infectious agents and efficiency of relevant diagnostic tests are not well-established. Medical record review identified 117 dogs diagnosed with discospondylitis in our clinic over a 5-year period. In 32 dogs, discospondylitis was diagnosed as an incidental imaging finding; 24 of these dogs had concomitant neoplasia. A likely causal infection was identified in 45 of the remaining 85 dogs in which blood and urine cultures, serology for Brucella spp., and galactomannan fungal antigen testing were recommended. Ten dogs were diagnosed with Brucella canis, and ten were diagnosed with suspected fungal infection. Brucella suis serology was negative in all 35 dogs that were tested. Blood cultures were positive in 28 of 71 (39%) tested dogs, and urine culture was positive in 12 of 79 (15%). Cultures were positive from the lesion site of four of eight dogs that underwent surgery and one of the five dogs that underwent image-guided lesion sample collection. Subluxation secondary to discospondylitis was stabilized with metallic implants in four dogs. A similar proportion of known satisfactory treatment outcomes at last follow-up were recorded in dogs that had suspected fungal disease, other bacterial infections, or were Brucella-positive and in those dogs with imaging diagnosis only, although some individuals continued to receive anti-microbial agents or showed recurrent signs. These data support the value of blood culture in discospondylitis and suggest a relatively high prevalence of infection with Brucella spp. and suspected fungal infection.

Published: June 2024

In the current implementation process for dredging projects, due to the lack of an accurate understanding of underwater soil characteristics, construction teams often find it difficult to accurately understand the soil condition. Not only does this lead to a reduced dredger operation efficiency, but it may also cause delays to the project’s progress, as well as increasing its cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need to closely integrate soil analysis technology with dredging construction to ensure that projects can be completed efficiently and to a high standard. Therefore, this paper proposes a soil modeling and prediction method based on a three-dimensional point cloud model. The research objective is to propose a new method of soil mass identification with a strong generalization ability and function, which can not only be applied to dredging engineering but can also identify and analyze statistics of land soil and its mass. The accuracy of this method, based on a convergent grid, can reach 95%.

Published: June 2024

Relevance. Xerostomia, commonly known as dry mouth, is a prevalent orofacial disorder among pregnant women experiencing isthmic-cervical insufficiency. This condition manifests as a burning sensation in the mouth, pain, and discomfort during eating. A clear correlation exists between pain, taste alterations, and the perception of oral dryness, highlighting the multifaceted impact of xerostomia on affected individuals. Pregnant women with isthmic-cervical insufficiency, a complication that significantly increases the risk of preterm labor, are particularly susceptible to xerostomia. This condition is often accompanied by heightened psycho-emotional stress, which can exacerbate the symptoms of dry mouth. Despite the multitude of treatments available for xerostomia, the primary objective for dentists is to formulate an appropriate and effective treatment plan, tailored to the physiological needs of the patient. This study evaluates the efficacy of Argymax spray in alleviating xerostomia in pregnant women with isthmic-cervical insufficiency.

Materials and methods. A study was conducted involving 84 pregnant women who were assessed and treated over a three-week period to evaluate the rate of mixed saliva secretion. Subjective data were collected using a five-point scale to analyze the reduction in pain potential, itching, and burning. Hygienic and periodontal indices were determined before therapy and three months after the use of the spray.

Results. The study demonstrated that Argymax spray begins to act within seven days of initial application and maintains its effectiveness throughout the observation period.

Conclusion. Hormonal changes during pregnancy affect both the overall body and the condition of the oral cavity, making it particularly vulnerable. Early diagnosis and appropriate management strategies can prevent the development of several oral mucosal diseases associated with xerostomia. Argymax spray is recommended as symptomatic therapy for the treatment of xerostomia in pregnant women with isthmic-cervical insufficiency.

The statement of basic materials. It is shown how the Moscow Patriarchate “justifies” the war through the mouths of its officials and carries out total disinformation about the real causes of this war, distorting the foundations of Christian postulates regarding justice.
Conclusions. The current leadership of the “U”OC lacks the real potential to lead this structure to the self-criticism for being rooted in the ideas of the “Russian world” and to the essential transformations.
POSTMODERN ORTHODOX RADICAL THEOLOGY OF FAITH BY V. RUBSKY
Authors: Lozovytskyi : Vasyl
Published: June 2024

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. In Ukrainian science, important work has been carried out on the understanding and criticism of the main Orthodox theological concepts and methodological approaches to the develop-ment of modern Orthodox theology. The concepts of faith have been analyzed in the national science in the works of E. Kononenko, T. Levchenko, D. Martsynovska, Y. Chornomorets, and S. Kachmar. However, the post-metaphysical dimension of faith in contemporary Orthodox thinkers still remains beyond the scope of research.
The research objective. A comprehensive analysis of all aspects of Rubsky's theology is not our goal. We would like to focus on Rubsky's post-metaphysical interpretation of faith, to show changes and transformations in the concept of faith, and thus to expand the methodological perspective of modern Orthodox theology.
The statement of basic materials. An analysis of Rubsky's Orthodox radical theology of faith has shown that he uses the methodology of post-metaphysical philosophy and develops a personalistic theology of faith centered on the human being. Relying on the principles of postmodern philosophy, Rubsky tries to take faith and God beyond the discursive, to see them beyond all the binary oppositions of language.
He deconstructs the Orthodox tradition and emphasizes the importance of a personal encounter with the Creator, which is possible as an act of direct intuition of God, while Tradition is a historical construct that needs to be radically rethought.
In the end, all his efforts culminate in an interpretation of faith as the practice of recognizing the presence of God in everyday things and events. This conclusion brings Rubsky's theology of faith even closer not only to post-metaphysical and post-psychological approaches, but also to phenomenology and contemporary charismatic Christianity.
NON-SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IN THE CHALLENGES OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL PRESENT
Authors: Bakumenko Oleksandr
Published: June 2024

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The works of T. Kuhn, I. Lakatos, K. Popper, B. Russell, P. Feyerabend, and others are devoted to the study of modes of scientific and non-scientific knowledge. Among Ukrainian researchers, it is worth mentioning I. Zagriichuk, S. Krymsky, M. Popovych, L. Drotyanko, I. Chornomordenko. The research objective. Turning to non-scientific knowledge in the challenges of technological modernity presupposes the following tasks: to investigate non-scientific knowledge in the context of the opposition “Science-Humanity’s”; to reveal the meaning of non-scientific knowledge as a condition for preventing the monologism of science; determine the relationship between scientific and non-scientific knowledge as an opportunity to create a single integrated platform that overcomes the discontinuity / dualism of two cultures, thereby actualizing the internal potential for the development of humanity as a world community The statement of basic materials. The article is devoted to the study of the problem of scientific and non-scientific knowledge, which is fundamentally related to the understanding of the possible horizons of human activity, which appears as a result of the latter’s self-development. Modern civilization, as a technological one, has not resolved the conflict between scientific and technical development and the value system, which gives rise to a multitude of contradictions, one of which is the “lagging behind” of the humanitarian component from the intensive development of the technological component.
THE IDEA OF “SOCIAL EQUALITY” AND ITS INTERPRETATION IN THE MAIN IDEOLOGICAL PARADIGMS OF WESTERN POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Biryuk Maksym
Published: June 2024

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. In the analysis of the ideas of social equality, inequality and justice through the prism of the main ideological paradigms of political philosophy, we rely on the ideas of the classics of philosophical thought (Plato, Aristotle, J. de Maistre, K. Marx, A. Camus) and on modern theorists of egalitarianism (J. Rawls, J. Pole, H. Phelps Brown, F. Hayek, R. Dworkin, etc.).
The research objective. First, we will consider the different gradations of social equality, and look at the main arguments in favor of equality from the point of view of egalitarianism. Next, we will analyze how the idea of equality is interpreted in three key ideological traditions (paradigms) of Western social and political thought: liberalism, socialism, and conservatism.
The statement of basic materials. The main gradations of social equality are considered, in particular, formal equality, equality of treatment, equality of opportunities, equality of consideration. It is noted that the philosophy of conservatism, as nostalgia for the state system of the ancient regime, denies equality and acts as an apologist for social inequality expressed in the idea of natural aristocracy. The philosophy of liberalism focuses attention on the formal aspects of equality before the law and political equality. Liberalism is based on the idea of meritocracy, where the equality of starting opportunities allows us to reveal the inequality of human potential. If the tradition of liberalism is characterized by a combination of the ideas of equality and individualism, then for socialism equality is necessarily connected with the idea of the dominance of the collective over the individual. The highest non-ideological gradation of equality is equality of consideration, which can also be called the ontological equality of all people.

This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of Generative-AI tools amongst Thai university students, employing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework. Data from 911 higher education students from 10 different Thai Universities Health Sciences, Sciences and Technology, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Vocational Fields were analysed via Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The instrument used in collecting the data was a questionnaire. Results indicated that Expected Benefits, Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Toward Technology, and Behavioural Intention all significantly impacted student adoption of Generative AI. Intriguingly, Perceived Ease of Use was negatively correlated with Perceived Usefulness, challenging conventional TAM assumptions. This study underscores the need to address language barriers, foster a culture of innovation, and establish ethical guidelines to promote responsible AI use within education. Despite inherent limitations, this research contributes to our understanding of AI adoption in educational settings and helps inform strategies for equitable access and responsible innovation. The result demonstrated that the easier a tool was to use, the less value leaners seemed to see in it for their learning process. It can be implied that as Generative-AI get more intuitive, learners think they're less helpful. These finding challenges a few of those assumptions we usually make within the TAM model. It also points out the characteristic of learners which affects their learning preferences and expectation. Another finding showed the impact of language barrier on non-native English speaker that obstruct the user experience in AI services.  Moreover, the role of universities in fostering both AI integration for learning for and the ethical implementation of Generative AI. By providing a supportive environment that encourages AI experimentation, redesign learning, empowering learners and faculty instructors to investigate how Generative AI can be applied across disciplines, and developing guidelines for ethical use, universities play a critical role in shaping the effective and responsible integration of AI into the next educational landscape.

Published: June 2024

Manusia merupakan makhluk sosial yang tidak dapat hidup secara individual. Namun di jaman sekarang ini, banyak sekali manusia yang kurang peduli terhadap orang lain yang membutuhkan bantuan, bukan hanya orang dewasa, namun juga hal tersebut terjadi pada remaja. Masa remaja merupakan fase transisi dan harus banyak mendapatkan perhatian karena jika salah pergaulan, hal tersebut tentu saja akan merugikan banyak pihak bukan hanya remaja tersebut. Sikap tolong menolong seharusnya sudah dimiliki sejak masa perkembangan usia dini, namun banyak juga remaja yang tidak mempunyai sikap tersebut bahkan sampai mereka tua. Remaja di jaman sekarang ini lebih memilih untuk sibuk dengan diri sendiri bermain gadged dan permainan lainnya yang menyibukkan diri sendiri. Seharusnya siswa dapat saling tolong menolong tanpa memandang satu sama lain, bahkan sampai rela berkorban demi kepentingan individu lain, suatu sikap yang disebut altruisme. Salah satu faktor yang dianggap dapat mempengaruhi altruisme adalah perspective taking. Penelitiannya bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara empirik apakah terdapat hubungan antara Perspective Taking dengan Altruisme pada Siswa SMK X Padang. Alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah skala perspective taking dan altruisme menggunakan metode probability sampling untuk menentukan jumlah sampel.

La cour d’appel de Grenoble met en œuvre, pour la première fois, l’article 9 de la loi no 2022-219 du 21 février 2022 visant à réformer l’adoption. Cette disposition lui permet de prononcer l’adoption de l’enfant conçu par assistance médicale à la procréation à l’étranger par la mère d’intention, malgré l’opposition de la mère légale, et ce avant l’entrée en vigueur de la loi no 2021-1017 du 2 août 2021 relative à la bioéthique. Cet arrêt offre l’occasion de revenir sur les conditions nécessaires au prononcé d’une telle adoption «  forcée  ».

Sur le fondement des articles 61-5 et suivants du Code civil, la cour précise les critères nécessaires à la modification de la mention du sexe à l’état civil et rappelle l’indifférence de l’existence d’une intervention médicale.

Dans cet arrêt, la cour nous propose une méthode d’application fidèle à l’article 61-5 du Code civil.
Une infraction peut‑elle être caractérisée en l’absence d’élément matériel ? Curieusement, la réponse ne semble pas si évidente…

L’infraction de vol peut être retenue à l’encontre d’un individu qui formalise l’intention de soustraire la chose d’autrui sans véritablement s’en emparer… Étonnant n’est-ce pas ? Pourtant, c’est ce qu’a décidé la cour d’appel de Grenoble le 6 avril 2023 en condamnant l’agent qui a rempli un caddie de marchandises avec l’intention de le voler, puis l’a laissé dans l’enceinte du supermarché sans franchir les caisses. Il a été poursuivi en tant qu’auteur principal alors que son amie l’a été en tant que complice pour avoir initié le vol et rempli le caddie avant de le pousser après les caisses sans en régler le contenu. La circonstance aggravante de vol en réunion a été retenue à leur égard.
L’inobservation de l’injonction de soins par un condamné placé sous suivi socio‑judiciaire pour des raisons indépendantes de sa volonté, justifie‑t‑elle son retour en détention ?
Authors: Ghouma Chloé Ben
Published: June 2024

Malgré l’interruption du suivi psychiatrique par un individu placé sous suivi socio-judiciaire, les juges considèrent que la mise à exécution d’une peine d’un an d’emprisonnement s’avère disproportionnée au regard des éléments de fait qui permettent d’apprécier que cette interruption était indépendante de la volonté du condamné.

Authors: Zinty Stéphane
Published: June 2024

Dans le cas où une licence d’officine n’a pas été incluse parmi les actifs du plan de cession d’une pharmacie, le tribunal de la procédure collective ne peut en ordonner la restitution auprès du directeur général de l’agence régionale de la santé (ARS), en l’absence de texte en ce sens. Il appartient, par conséquent, au débiteur de déclarer la cessation de son activité auprès des autorités compétentes afin que directeur général de l’ARS constate la caducité de la licence d’exploitation.

Authors: Bushchyk E. A. , Listopad N. I.
Published: June 2024

The complex model describing and taking into account the interrelationships between business processes, organizational structure and information systems of a secondary special education institution is considered. To represent the model the matrix approach with the use of matrix theory tools is used. Weight coefficients of   interrelation of model elements are described using the method of expert evaluation and taking into account the zone of responsibility of employees in the performance of certain business processes. The model construction is based on the description of the operational business process “Training of specialists at the level of secondary specialized education”, including subprocesses of theoretical and practical training. The obtained model, consisting of three matrices, allows for accounting and analysis of organizational elements of the educational institution structure for  errors, assessment of completeness and cohesion of interaction between structures in order to their further optimization and  automation.
НЕОВІЗАНТИЗМ МИХАЙЛА БОЙЧУКА В КОНТЕКСТІ ФОРМУВАННЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО НАЦІОНАЛЬНОГО СТИЛЮ (ПОЛЕМІКА НА ШПАЛЬТАХ ПЕРІОДИЧНИХ ВИДАНЬ 1930-х РОКІВ)

Силу індивідуальності майстра, формування методу та власних поглядів на розвиток українського мистецтва першої третини ХХ ст. добре висвітлює львівський період творчості М. Бойчука, який припадає на 1910-1914 рр. У той час важливими є пошуки митця у стилістичній і композиційно-формальній площинах творчої реалізації.Художник лише повернувся з так званої мистецької лабораторії Парижа, де відбувались глибинні процеси формування нових стилістичних віянь у мистецтві, тож це був час самоусвідомлення та самовираження у творчому обличчі українського мистецтва. Українському мистецтву першої третини ХХ ст. притаманна низка суттєво нових, порівняно з попереднім періодом, особливостей. Одна з основних – формування українського національного стилю, вплив естетики модернізму на творчість тогочасних художників. У статті проаналізовано станкові і монументальні твори художника львівського періоду, його роздуми і пошук авторського письма, яке ґрунтується на принципах неовізантизму. Розглянуто критичні статті А. Малюци, М. Голубця, Д. Іванцева, М. Вороного, В. Ласовського, П. Ковжуна, що стосуються проблем розвитку українського мистецтва першої пол. ХХ ст. Особливу увагу звернуто на формування українського національного стилю, на термінологію, напрями й особистості.

ДУХОВНО-СИМВОЛІЧНА ТА ІНТОНАЦІЙНО-ДРАМАТУРГІЧНА СПЕЦИФІКА 68 КАНТАТИ Й.С. БАХА
Authors: Джулай Ганна
Published: June 2024

Узагальнено відомості щодо особливостей німецької лютеранської богослужбово-співацької практики XVII-XVIII ст. Виявлено жанрово-типологічні показники німецької духовної кантати, сформованої на тлі лютеранської проповідницької практики та узагальненої у феномені «Hauptmusik» («Головна музика дня»). Обґрунтовано суттєву роль протестантського хоралу в поетиці цього жанру, що визначає інтонаційну мову його кульмінаційних розділів, а також символічну функцію в ньому поліфонічних розділів. Виявлено культово-богослужбову приналежність 68 кантати Й.С. Баха до свята другого дня П’ятидесятниці, що в лютеранській традиції вважається днем народження церкви і підсумком остаточного формування духовних настанов земного буття людини, тобто її вибору між вірою та невірою. Обґрунтовано музично-риторичні особливості інтонаційної мови названої кантати, сформованої на перетині стародавнього духовного наспіву П’ятидесятниці XVII ст. та його авторської обробки.
