Analysis of size-composition of endangered Tor putitora in the critical breeding and nursery grounds of the Nayar (Western Himalaya)
Authors: Rana Priyanka , Nautiyal Prakash
Published: December 2023

Size composition gives an overall estimate of the prevalent length of individuals in the fish stock and, hence, the stock's health. The present study analyzed the size-composition and population structure of Golden Mahseer, Tor putitora in the river Nayar that form their breeding and nursery grounds. The Nayar is located in the critical stretch of Devpryaag and Rishikesh (Garhwal Himalaya), free of any dam/barrage in the river Ganga. The Nayar basin is undergoing rapid land use changes due to increased mining and fellow land formations. This analysis was based on length frequency analysis data obtained from three sampling stations, S1, S2, and S3, in the Nayar River. The highest length frequency (53.3%) of Mahseer was recorded from the size class ranging between 10-20 cm, like earlier records, while only one individual measuring 121.9cm was procured. The length frequency decreases with increasing size beyond 30cm. In contrast to the past, the present study revealed a comparatively distorted population structure in the Nayar, where the pre-reproductive size groups showed dominance over the reproductive population. The reduced spawning biomass could jeopardize the recruitment of the next generation.

Published: December 2023

Mechanization saves time in completing different operations, which gives the crop more time to mature, allows the farmer to be more flexible in his farming operations and facilitates multi cropping. At present in India, trac-tors are being used for tillage on about 22.78 per cent of the total land area and sowing about 21.30 per cent of total area. Custom hiring service (CHS) is a popular method of gaining short-term control of farm machineries. The CHS gained importance mainly due to rise in the cropping intensity and drop in average landholdings. The productivity of major crops is higher on the tractor owning farms due to timely and sufficient availability of tractor services and 61.67 per cent of large farmers and 11.67 per cent of medium farmers own tractors. The net farm income is higher on tractor owning farms but input costs are low on custom hiring farms. It may be due to the high fixed costs and variable costs on tractor owning farms. The tractor charge was relatively same for all tractor drawn implements, it was ranging from `135.15/h to `142.11/h. The cost incurred was highest for rotavator (`574.93/h) followed by cage wheel puddler (`491.58/h) and MB plough (`462.58/h).The small and medium tractor hiring farms earned more net income. This shows that it is better for smaller farms to hire tractor services rather to have their own tractor CHS would constitute a reliable tool for implementing specific farming practices and obtaining a reasonable income.

Challenges and Adaptive Strategies of Santals of Bnasbari Village of Rajshahi in Ensuring Healthcare
Authors: Soren James , Soren Edward , Briones Jesus P
Published: December 2023

Healthcare challenges for indigenous communities are one of the burning issues in Bangladesh and many other countries. Dishonor for indigenous communities and discrimination against them put them under challenges that affect their daily lives and extend to their healthcare. Since indigenous communities are a significant part of the overall population, their healthcare disparities raise questions about the country’s development. A real development of a country is not possible with a significant part excluded, and it may affect the country’s achieving the SDGs. However, existing literature lacks discussion on this special issue, so information regarding indigenous communities’ healthcare challenges and adaptive strategies is not available. Applying qualitative research methodology, this research found that Santals, a major indigenous community in Bangladesh, are excluded from healthcare because of the negligence and disrespectful attitudes of people in the Bengali community and the decline of medical plants and forest-like settings, which leads Santals to adopt different strategies in ensuring healthcare. This research also shows that Santals are taking allopathic medicines from village doctors, buying allopathic medicines without consulting with doctors, taking homeopathic medicines, taking traditional medicine plants by planting them in their homesteads, and buying medicines from street hawkers.

Authors: Issa H. Al-Aidi  , Ahmed Sh. Al-Atabi
Published: December 2023

This paper discussed the analytic methods to solve Second order Volterra integral equations form using different methods. The domain decomposition method is the first technique. Depending on the hypothesis, the solution is by sequence. The second method is the successive approximation technique, which is used Picard iteration method. The third method used Laplace transformation. The modified decomposition technique is used as the fourth method. Depending on the Taylor series, the fifth method is called the series method. The last method solves the VIE using the functional correction technique called the variational iteration method. We introduce some examples to illustrate these methods.
QED origin of gravitational field and exotic consequences
Authors: Cadeddu Enrico Pier Giorgio
Published: December 2023

We search, in elementary charged particles, a derivation of gravity from QED, starting with classical electrostatic force at a classic electromagnetic radius distance, with a Planck length uncertainty. Noting a possibility for a second order QED term, multiplying the term for the fine structure constant, we obtain self gravitational force, then gravitational field. It follows that massive not-charged elementary particles, such as neutrino, don't have a gravitational field.
DEVELOPMENT OF OIL FIELDS USING SCIENCE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING
Authors: Al-Obaidi Sudad H , WJ Chang , M Hofmann
Published: December 2023

Since artificial intelligence has become increasingly prevalent in the oil industry, it is relevant to this study since it is being used for exploration, development, production, field design, and management planning to improve decision-making, reduce costs, and speed up production. For establishing relationships between complex non-linear datasets, machine learning has proved superior to regression methods in petroleum engineering when it comes to highdimensional data prediction errors, processing power, and memory. In this article, machine learning is compared with conventional statistical models of oil and gas engineering for determining and predicting reservoir pressure values in the development of oil fields. The effectiveness and potential of machine learning to determine reservoir pressure values was analysed. Using non-parametric multivariate model that link well performance over time, a new method is proposed for predicting reservoir pressure using machine learning. According to the proposed method, the predicted reservoir pressure correlates well with values measured by hydrodynamic studies of wells based on the dynamics of indicators describing well performance. Machine learning method based on random forest algorithm tends to provide better prediction reliability for reservoir pressure than linear regression method (absolute deviation: 0.86; relative deviation: 6.8%).
Multiracial Multilinguals: How Language Influences Multiracials’ Interpersonal Relationships
Authors: Hernandez Lizzie , Pauley Taylor , Zheng Haochen , Jubera Kaitlyn , Perreyclear Torin , Vera Rosi , Willis Jarryd
Published: December 2023

Lovers in interracial couples are more likely to have different heritage languages and first languages than same-race couples, and Multiracials are the offspring of interracial couples. As such, Multiracials’ linguistic socialization likely differs from that of monoracials. Our study examined the influence of ethnoracial socialization on monoracials’ and Multiracials’ linguistic knowledge and the influence of language and ethnoracial identity on individuals’ interpersonal relationships. We hypothesized that monoracials would be more likely to know their heritage language than Multiracials, that linguistic knowledge would differ between interminority Multiracial groups and half-White Multiracial groups, and that linguistic knowledge would be associated with the formation of both friendships and romantic relationships. Our sample included nearly a thousand students from a university in California. We found support for the first hypothesis, monoracial minorities were more likely to be multilingual than both interminority individuals and half-White Multiracials. We found partial support for our second hypothesis as East Asian participants who spoke an East Asian language had a higher proportion of East Asian friends. We found partial support for our third hypothesis as Wasians and Latinasians who spoke an East Asian language primarily dated someone East Asian, Latinasians who spoke a Latin American language primarily dated someone Hispanic, and monolinguals of both groups were the ones most likely to date someone White. These findings suggest that linguistic knowledge plays a significant role in a community's social dynamics affecting monoracials' and (especially) Multiracials' interpersonal relationships.
Categorical vs. Dimensional Approach: Transformation of Scientific Knowledge about the Classification of Personality Disorders
Authors: Schierenbeck Nora
Published: December 2023

Throughout the history of psychopathology, there has been a long debate about whether mental disorders should be classified categorically or dimensionally. This issue is particularly evident in the classification of personality disorders. Categorical systems have a long tradition and have been supported by psychiatrists and clinical practitioners. With the development of sophisticated statistical methods, psychologists took over the field and provided studies advocating a dimensional system of personality disorders. Driven by research findings from academic science, the classification system gradually evolved from a categorical approach in form of distinct disorder types in DSM-III (1980), to a "hybrid model" with categorical and dimensional elements in DSM-5 (2013), and most recently to a dimensional system in ICD-11 (2022).
Malayalam and core Dravidian phonology: A view from early language acquisition
Authors: Krishnan Gayathri G , Raghunathan Arathi , Sarma Vaijayanthi M
Published: December 2023

Children’s productions, whether they are identical to or deviate from target adult productions, are revelatory of both the grammatical processes that govern early grammars and those that underlie the target grammars. Malayalam is a Dravidian language, but its vocabulary has many loanwords, especially from Sanskrit. This makes phonological and lexical learning potentially challenging to young learners but also offers a way to uncover the relationships between child and adult phonologies. This chapter discusses the salient segmental and syllable structure properties of the core phonology of Malayalam and provides a detailed analysis of the spontaneous productions at similar ages of monolingual, Malayalam acquiring children, and bilingual, Malayalam and English acquiring children, with the twofold aims of discovering the target properties that are manifested in the developing phonology, and recovering what the child phonologies reveal in turn about the core phonology.
Psychedelic Therapy: A Primer for Primary Care Clinicians – Part VI. 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA)
Authors: Shinozuka Kenneth , Tabaac Burton J. , Arenas Alejandro , Beutler Bryce D. , Cherian Kirsten , Evans Viviana D. , Fasano Chelsey , Muir Owen S.
Published: December 2023

Background: After becoming notorious for its use as a party drug in the 1980s, 3,4-methylenedioxy-methampetamine (MDMA), also known by its street names “molly” and “ecstasy,” has emerged as a powerful treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Areas of uncertainty: There is extensive data about the risk profile of MDMA. However, the literature is significantly biased. Animal models demonstrating neurotoxic or adverse effects used doses well beyond the range that would be expected in humans (up to 40 mg/kg in rats compared to roughly 1-2 mg/kg in humans). Furthermore, human samples are often comprised of recreational users who took other substances in addition to MDMA, in uncontrolled settings. Therapeutic advances: Phase III FDA clinical trials led by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) have shown that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy has an effect size of d = 0.7-0.91, up to 2-3 times higher than the effect sizes of existing antidepressant treatments. 67 to 71% of patients who undergo MDMA-assisted psychotherapy no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD within 18 weeks. We also describe other promising applications of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for treating alcohol use disorder, social anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions.Conclusions: While there have only been six clinical trials for PTSD thus far, all organized by MAPS, the preliminary evidence suggests that MDMA is much more effective than existing antidepressant medications for treating PTSD.
Psychedelic Therapy: A Primer for Primary Care Clinicians – Part V. Ibogaine
Authors: Cherian Kirsten , Shinozuka Kenneth , Tabaac Burton J. , Arenas Alejandro , Beutler Bryce D. , Evans Viviana D. , Fasano Chelsey , Muir Owen S.
Published: December 2023

Background: Ibogaine is a plant-derived alkaloid that has been used for thousands of years in rites of passage and spiritual ceremonies in West-Central Africa. In the West, it has primarily been used and studied for its anti-addictive properties and more recently for other neuropsychiatric indications, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Areas of Uncertainty: Ibogaine requires careful patient screening and monitoring due to significant safety issues. There is potential for cardiotoxicity (prolonged QT interval); without rigorous screening, fatal arrhythmias may occur. Additionally, ibogaine may have dangerous interactions with opiates, so patients who receive ibogaine treatment for opioid use disorder must withdraw from long-acting opioids. Other potential concerning effects of ibogaine include rare incidents of mania or psychosis. Anticipated transient effects during ibogaine treatment can include ataxia, tremors, and gastrointestinal symptoms.Therapeutic Advances: Nonetheless, robust effects following a single treatment with ibogaine have been reported. In open-label and randomized controlled trials (RCTs), ibogaine reduces heroin and opioid cravings by upwards of 50%, up to 24 weeks after the treatment. Observational studies have shown that ibogaine, in combination with the psychedelic 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), significantly diminishes PTSD (d = 0.414) and depression symptoms (d = 0.275). Treatment clinics have opened in countries where ibogaine is either legal or unregulated for people struggling with substance use disorders or refractory distress. Conclusions: Given the promising preliminary findings, ibogaine could potentially fill a much-needed gap in treatments for challenging conditions, including opioid dependence and combat-related symptom complexes. However, there is currently a lack of rigorous research, such as double-blind, placebo-controlled RCTs, to support ibogaine’s safety and efficacy. It is imperative to develop practices that reduce patient risk and improve treatment sustainability, given high rates of ibogaine trafficking.
Realization of the Complaint Speech Act in Spoken Arabic and English among Saudi Female English Majors at Imam Mohammed Ibn Saud Islamic University
Authors: Alsallum Asma Abdul Rahman S
Published: December 2023

The core goal of this study is to investigate complaint speech act conducted in English and Arabic by Saudi female English majors at Imam Mohammed Ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The sample of this study involves 30 undergraduate students of English at level eight. In order to collect data for this study, the subjects are given a controlled elicitation technique named “a Discourse Completion Test (DCT)”. The test comprises two versions; Arabic and English. Each version consists of nine situations denoting the speech act of complaint to which the subjects are required to respond as naturally as they can without spending much time thinking of what to say. After that, the data are analyzed based on the classification system of complaint strategies developed by Olshtain and Weinbach (1987) and DeCapua (1998). Two more new strategies have been added by the present researcher. Moreover, the study compared and contrasted complaint patterns in English and Arabic as expressed by these subjects. These patterns are analyzed using frequencies and percentages of their occurrence as well as the Chi-square test. The results of this study indicate that the social statuses like power, which affect the realization patterns of complaint, seem to be universal. Saudi female English majors tend to change their complaint behavior according to the social variables of the situation. Those subjects tend to be more direct when composing complaints in higher to lower relations and in equal relations and more polite and indirect when a complainee has dominance over a complainer. The results of the presents study revealed that Saudi female English majors should have enhanced awareness of cultural and linguistic discrepancies in order to express the speech act of complaint in English appropriately, making use of complaint strategies that are based on English speaking norms.
Perceived anonymity and cyberbullying
Authors: Vrselja Ivana , Lacković Dora , Lotar Rihtarić Martina
Published: December 2023

Although cyberbullying is a significant problem nowadays, there are few theoretical explanations for this phenomenon in the literature. Based on Barlett and Gentile’s cyberbullying model (2012), the aim of this paper was to examine the contribution of a variable specific to the virtual world - perceived anonymity - in explaining cyberbullying. It also aimed to examine whether there is a mediating effect of attitudes in the relationship between anonymity and cyberbullying, as well as a moderating effect of frequency of internet use on the relationship between anonymity and cyberbullying, as well as between attitudes towards cyberbullying and cyberbullying itself. A survey was administered online in March and April 2021 and data was collected from a convenient sample of 329 students (110 males), aged 18-30 years (M = 21.53, SD = 2.50). The results of the moderation-mediation analysis, performed in the Process macro for SPSS, showed that there was a significant mediation effect of positive attitudes in the relationship between perceived anonymity and cyberbullying, in the way that greater perceived anonymity predicted positive attitudes toward cyberbullying, which predicted more frequent cyberbullying. There was no significant direct contribution of more pronounced perceived anonymity to more frequent cyberbullying. Finally, the results showed that frequency of internet use did not have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between perceived anonymity and cyberbullying, as well as between attitudes and cyberbullying.
Intervencija teškoća čitanja i pisanja krojena prema ‘Odgovoru na intervenciju’
Authors: Kelić Maja
Published: December 2023

Odgovor na intervenciju (engl. Response to Intervention) načelo je pružanja i praćenja intervencije. Ne radi se o metodi, terapiji niti modelu podučavanja, već procesu kojemu je svrha pomaknuti resurse prema intervencijskom pristupu s najboljim učinkom. Jedna od osnovnih karakteristika Odgovora na intervenciju sustavna je i stalna evaluacija - kako učenika i napretka, tako i odabranog pristupa intervencije. Jedan je od dijagnostičkih kriterija postavljanja dijagnoze specifičnog poremećaja učenja, predložen u Dijagnostičkom i statističkom priručniku za mentalne poremećaje, peto izdanje (DSM-V), otpornost na terapiju, odnosno teškoće u učenju i primjeni akademskih vještina koje traju najmanje 6 mjeseci, unatoč intervencijama usmjerenim na ove teškoće. U skladu s time, nameće se potreba za osiguravanjem intervencije i prije postavljanja dijagnoze. Rana intervencija u području čitanja i pisanja posljedično dovodi do smanjene potrebe za davanjem dijagnoze. Cilj Odgovora na intervenciju je stvaranje obrazovne okoline, učinkovite, primjenjive i trajne za svu djecu, obitelji i one koji sudjeluju u obrazovnom procesu, i to uz kontinuiranu podršku. Odgovor na intervenciju podrazumijeva nekoliko razina podrške, a pomicanjem kroz razine pružena intervencija postaje eksplicitnija, učestalija, dulja, grupe homogenije i manje, a oni koji pružaju pomoć sve stručniji. U radu je prikazan model pružanja intervencije teškoća čitanja i pisanja krojene prema Odgovoru na intervenciju, koji proizlazi iz preokreta u razumijevanju i definiranju poremećaja. Prikazan je pregled modela, osnovne postavke i odlike, te izazovi i potencijalne dobrobiti u odnosu na pružanje usluga djeci s teškoćama/poremećajem čitanja i pisanja u Hrvatskoj.

Authors: Filipović Perić Irena , Gelo Nikolina , Punjek Vizek Ana , Mujagić Loris
Published: December 2023

Dijagnoza diskalkulije postavlja se ako djetetove sposobnosti usvajanja matematike zaostaju dvije godine za kronološkom dobi, a nisu posljedica intelektualnih teškoća ili neodgovarajuće poduke. S obzirom na nepostojanje standardiziranog mjernog instrumenta za diskalkuliju, opravdano je pitanje koliko se taj poremećaj dijagnosticira u logopedskom radu. Cilj ovog pilot-istraživanja je utvrditi udio dijagnoze diskalkulije, kao i sumnje na istu kod pacijenata uključenih u logopedsku terapiju u Poliklinici za rehabilitaciju slušanja i govora SUVAG Zagreb. Točnije, istraživanjem se nastojalo utvrditi - je li veći broj djece kod koje postoji sumnja na postojanje poremećaja ili one koja imaju postavljenu dijagnozu diskalkulije. Podaci su prikupljeni upitnikom oblikovanim za potrebe ovog istraživanja, koji je ispunilo 45 logopeda zaposlenih u Poliklinici, koji su u trenutku istraživanja u terapiji imali ukupno 1350 pacijenata. Analiza odgovora pokazuje da je u ukupnom broju pacijenata samo 0,44 % onih kojima je postavljena dijagnoza diskalkulije (F81.2; MKB-10, 1994), dok kod 3,48% pacijenata u dobi od trećeg razreda nadalje postoji sumnja na diskalkuliju, ali ona nije izdvojena kao dijagnostički entitet. Rezultati ovog pilot-istraživanja pokazuju postojanje većeg broja djece kod koje nije dijagnosticirana diskalkulija (F81.2), iako za to postoje kliničke indikacije. Potrebna je dodatna edukacija, kao poticaj logopedima u postavljanju dijagnoze i kreiranju terapijskih postupaka.
Abel Carlevaro’s guitar works in the context of Uruguayan musical culture
Authors: Filatova Tetiana
Published: December 2023

The relevance of the article is to consider Uruguayan guitar music as an important component of the modern South American repertoire. On the example of the works of famous composer and performer Abel Carlevaro connections with the folklore traditions of the country, Afro-Uruguayan genres and styles have been revealed.
Main objective of the study is to reveal the influence of Abel Carlevaro's guitar work on the development of national performing traditions and the repertoire of Uruguayan music. The novelty of the article lies in the introduction of materials about Uruguayan musical culture and guitar work in particular into the domestic musicological circulation.
The methodology includes the methods of historical, comparative, phenomenological, structural and functional analysis for the study of factual information; highlighting the elements of folk music of Creole and Afro-Uruguayan origin; genealogy of rhythmic structures of genre sources, fixation of phenomena of guitar imitation of timbres of percussion instruments; a comparison of modern music with the decorative visual roots of an ancient ritual or with a purely European (Spanish, Italian, German) attribution of ancient genres and stylistic trends.
Results and conclusions. Abel Carlevaro's work is presented as a part of the Uruguayan cultural heritage. Analogies of the processes of ethnocultural communication and the synthesis of national motifs in architectural structures and musical phenomena of the country are traced. Linguistic and genre characteristics of guitar works were investigated taking into account the positions of modern experts of local folklore, as well as the anthropological experience of Uruguayan scientists studying their musical and ritual tradition. In the process of analyzing «American Preludes» as examples of the most performed musical works by A. Carlevaro, the genre features of tango, milonga, Creole songs, genre-style allusions of baroque giga, passacaglia were determined; the signs of reproducing the timbre resources of the candombe — the titular genre of Afro-Uruguayan origin for the national culture — were revealed. The conformity of its rhythmic core to the genre canons of African music-making embodied in the tradition of Uruguayan carnivals is emphasized. Timbral imitations of percussion sounds are considered in connection with the use of specific methods of sound production on the guitar. The general stylistic and genre priorities of the Carlevaro’s guitar work are correlated with his performing and pedagogical experience, summarized in didactic, methodical, autobiographical publications and presentations in many countries of the world.
New Ukrainian music in the modern media space («Far from the crowd» by Karmella Tsepkolenko)
Authors: Iergiiev Ivan
Published: December 2023

Relevance of the study is connected with the need for studying properties of the phenomenon "musical work" in its various hypostases-interpretations, the multiplicity of which is produced by the reality of the modern world cultural space, in particular such a phenomenon as multimedia. An art person creates art in conditions of powerful, communicative transformations of the world and has to take into account these circumstances, as well as at the same time the possibilities of the modern media space. It forces us to study the phenomenon of human professional activity-creativity — a musical work as interpreted in various existing forms in the dimension of modern space-time.

The main objective of the study is to explore the possibilities of different interpretations of the world of new music, as well as the properties of video-cameraman interpretation (as a variety of technical interpretation) of a musical artefact — Karmela Tsepkolenko's work for bayan «Far from the Crowd», written in the style of new music, intended for retransmission in the modern media space.

Results. Analysis of the composition «Far from the Crowd» proves that the world of new music is boundless and opens many possibilities for performers-creators to invent new meanings in interpretations. Symbolism, which is inherent in the analysed work written in the style of "new complexity", has the opportunity to reveal its potential ambiguity in the renewed being of music during the performance of the musician-personality through the personal rhetoric of the artist thanks to their creative performance skill, to update the discourse and sound-space every time, and therefore to influence the artists of the media field, to create conditions for new media solutions-presentations, new forms of musical works presentation, including video-cameraman interpretation. The latter, taking into account the clip specificity of the perception and thinking of the modern consumer of cultural artefacts, is distinguished by the use of various visual techniques, the brightness of the enhanced aesthetic and cathartic effect on the consciousness and spirituality of the mass audience thanks to modern media communications.
New communication strategies of modern classical artists
Authors: Vardanyan Olga
Published: December 2023

Relevance of the study: Along with the crisis of the "aging audience" of classical music in concert halls, which is noted by researchers and performers, in the last two years there has been a tendency to increase listening to classical music on digital platforms. The fact that, on the one hand, we are talking about the crisis of classical music audience reduction and, on the other hand, there are opposite trends indicating an increase in its popularity, actualizes the study of the communication mechanisms of classical music performers with the audience through digital tools.

Main objective of the study: To identify the trends, principles and mechanisms that have led to the recent increase in the popularity of classical music, particularly through digital tools on social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.

Methodology: Using the concept of "communication strategy" from the field of strategic management, we analyze the trends observed in the process of transformation of the way classical music performers communicate with the audience in the context of the evolution of media technologies. The study also used empirical (data collection, observation), general scientific (analysis) and theoretical (generalization, systematization) methods.

Results and conclusions. Modern media platforms have become a great resource for the promotion of a cultural product. They offer opportunities to reach a multi-billion audience composed of different segments, analytical tools and feedback. The mediatization of cultural space and changes in the psychology of perception of cultural products among new generations require new strategies of communication of classical music performers with the audience. The answer lies in the tendency to create audiovisual content that can be broadly divided into those in which classical music is the central object and those in which it is the background. Reels and Shorts, short videos that use classical music as a background, have become a means of expanding audiences by attracting listeners who were not previously interested in classical music. Audiovisual content featuring classical music is evolving from the traditional concert video to the visualization of music through electronic means, plastic arts (photography, painting) and the creation of videos with a storyline (cinematography). An important trend contributing to the growth of classical music audiences is the combination of classical repertoire with more popular film or cartoon music.

The study of communication channels and methods of modern classical music performers with the audience is important in connection with the development of the classical music industry in Ukraine and the development of a strategy for the promotion of Ukrainian classical music products in the world market of music production.
«Bleuet» by the Guillaum Apolliner`S poem: the first war song by Francis Poulenc
Authors: Rizaieva Ganna
Published: December 2023

Relevance of the study. The vocal miniature Bleuet is one of the pearls of Poulenc's chamber and vocal work. This is evidenced by its numerous performances at concerts dedicated to the remembrance of those killed in the First World War. However, even on the pages of the fundamental monographs of the leading European researchers of Poulenc's work, this opus is given literally a few lines, and it’s absolutely absent in the Ukrainian musicological space. The lack of research on the vocal miniature Bleuet, its indisputable importance for a deeper understanding of the whole artistic world of Francis Poulenc, as well as the exceptional topicality of the subject of this mélodie in the modern Ukrainian context determine the relevance of its research.

The main objective of the study is to reveal the specificity of Francis Poulenc's creative awareness of the war’s subject through Guillaume Apollinaire's poetry in mélodie Bleuet ("Cornflower").

The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that Francis Poulenc's chamber-vocal miniature Bleuet by the Guillaume Apollinaire’s words is being investigated in Ukrainian musicology for the first time.

The methodology of the article is based on historical, biographical, phenomenological and genre-stylistic research methods of analysis.

Results / findings and conclusions. Bleuet (1939) is one of the most inspired mélodies in the work by Francis Poulenc. A moving epitaph to a young recruit, imbued with a sense of humility and tenderness, it’s the first creative realization by the compositor of the Second World War’s tragedy. This miniature appears in the same row as the great compositor's monumental works, which reflect his spiritual search and are an echo of the deep religious consciousness. Patriotism is interpreted through the sacredness of the sacrifice of a young man who "knows death better than life." The lyricism that permeates the mélodie is extremely intimate in its essence.

To some extent, the autobiographical nature of the recruit's image (due to the events of the First World War in the life of the composer) is significantly strengthened by the commonality of the situation's archetype with Blanche de la Force (the main character of the opera Dialogues of the Carmelites), with whom Francis Poulenc personified himself while working on the opera. This proves that Poulenc never sought to separate his creativity from his own “I”.

Regardless of the specifics of the chamber genre mélodie and the brevity of Bleuet (54 measures), due to the multi-layered and meaningful poetry by Guillaume Apollinaire, Francis Poulenc's miniature impresses with its depth, semantic polyphony, a kind of "crucifixion" between the verbal series and the musical text.

Relevance of the research. The persistent revival of early music in the twentieth century led to a number of large and small discoveries that significantly enriched the history of European music. Byzantine music became one of the new continents that appeared on the map of European musicology in the twentieth century. The process of comprehending the millennial history of Byzantine music as an important component of European musical culture, as a musical expression of Christian culture, as a tradition that had a powerful influence on the whole of Europe is far from been completed. The revival of the Ukrainian monodic church repertoire, that we observe today, is accompanied by an active search for historical information and appropriate vocal manners and style that lead to the Greek-Byzantine tradition. Comparative studies of Byzantine and East Slavic musical manuscripts have enormous heuristic potential and open up the opportunity to represent the thousand-year history of Ukrainian music, and not be limited to its modern period.

The purpose of our work is to analyze the controversial concepts and approaches to understanding the Byzantine church chant tradition (“Byzantium after Byzantium”, in the words of Nicolae Iorga, traditionalism versus historicism); to show the prospects of Byzantine-Slavic musicological research and the need for its actualization in Ukraine; to present the educational course “Byzantine Music: Theory and Practice”. Methodological framework. The study is based on historicaltypological and comparative research methods.

Results and scientific novelty of the work. The experience of comprehending the Byzantine church chant tradition as an important component of European musical culture was analyzed, discussion concepts and approaches in the development of musical Byzantinology of the twentieth century were highlighted. The prospects and relevance of Byzantine-Slavic music research were shown. The necessity of studying Byzantine music in musical institutions in modern Ukraine was substantiated, the current status of development of Ukrainian musical Byzantine studies was analyzed. An educational program on Byzantine music was presented, and the range of related scientific and methodological discussion topics was outlined.

In today's conditions, the importance of the problem of environmentalization of social production is increased by the shortage of natural resources and will take on a threatening character in a few decades. Economic methods of regulation, transfer of processes of transformation of external costs into internal require consideration of the environmental component in the production costs of the enterprise, which includes environmental protection costs and part of the economic loss that is compensated through the system of environmental payments for pollution of the natural environment. The economic evaluation of natural resources is the conceptual basis of the paid nature use of enterprises of the branches of the national economy. In conditions of a certain limitation of natural resources, the main source of environmental aggression is actually political conflicts, although in most cases they have an economic origin. From the point of view of environmental management, political conflicts are considered as a struggle for possession of natural and other resources. Yes, conflicts have recently started to arise due to the lack of natural resources. Imperceptibly, but steadily, the importance of resource security is growing and, in our opinion, it will become dominant in 50–100 years, and will actually grow into national security. The growing rate of use of natural resources by the agricultural sector caused the problem of rational use, extended reproduction and preservation of natural resources. In the context of environmental management, the greening of social production must take into account the economic and social component. Based on our research, the harmonization of relations in the "society-nature" or "economy-ecology" system requires the orientation of the national economy to achieve optimal environmental sustainability of social production. If the state ignores microeconomic problems, it will not achieve stable macroeconomic indicators. And, as the experience of the developed countries of the world shows, the problem of establishing proper economic and legal responsibility is organically connected with the formation of the ecological and economic mechanism of nature management, and hence the direction of transformational processes.

In modern conditions, in order to ensure their own independence, enterprises of any industry are forced to constantly monitor and increase the socio-ecologo-economic efficiency of their activities. With particular acuteness, this issue is faced by communal enterprises of the water-sewage management, which is connected both with the specificity of the form of ownership and with the external regulation of activity as a subject of natural monopolies. The main purpose of the activity of the basic typical representative of the industry – is to provide services water supply and drainage, as well as the transportation of drinking water and wastewater, their treatment at the city's treatment facilities. The work examines the problem of researching the directions of development of enterprises water-sewage management, in particular the ecological component of their activity, related to the operation of treatment facilities and equipment in the process of water supply and drainage. Is analyzed the structure of the main cost elements that make up the basis of the production cost of water drainage services. The researching dynamics of historical changes in the most significant elements of expenses (which include energy-intensive elements): electricity and fuel and lubricants. Are separately examines the dynamics of historical changes in the cost of environmental costs, i.e. reagents used in the process of water purification and disinfection. A significant increase in the cost of certain elements serves as a basis for increasing tariff rates for services water supply and drainage. Measures are proposed to improve the water purification process and reduce the cost of water drainage services of the enterprise water-sewage management. Improving the quality of services water supply and drainage, in relation to drinking water and wastewater treatment, the use of the latest more efficient technologies and equipment solve ecological tasks, the efficiency of which depends not only on the improvement of the city, but also on the normal life of the population and the safe operation of industrial enterprises.

Payment of dues is one of the obligations that must be fulfilled by every resident in a neighborhood association area. These dues are used for common purposes such as cleanliness and security. The collection and expenditure of dues are usually handled by the management committee. However, there are still difficulties in managing residents' dues using conventional methods. As a result, dues cards are often lost and the dues collection are not transparent. Therefore, the author developed The Resident’s Dues Application (SIUMAS) as a solution used to manage residents' dues. The purpose of developing this application is to simplify the management tasks of the committee in handling the collection and expenditure of dues, as well as to facilitate residents in tracking the utilization of the dues. This application is built using the PHP programming language and utilizes the MySQL database. The development of this application adopts an object-based application design method. The results of the SIUMAS application testing using Black Box Testing shown that all functionalities of the SIUMAS application are functioning well and meet the expectations.
