Objective: To understand the basic mechanism and dynamic regulation that underlies the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in ovarian cancer (OC) cells. Mechanism: A literature review using evidences from several data bases (i.e., PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Medline, Cochrane, Science Direct, and Google Scholar) were conducted to describe the basic mechanism and dynamic regulation of EMT in OC cells. Finding in Brief: EMT is a complex epigenetic reprogramming orchestrated by specific transcription factors (TFs) and multiple upstream activators and regulators, such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), Wnt, Hedgehog, and Hippo signaling pathways. The net result of this cellular reprogramming is the acquisition of mesenchymal phenotypes with increased invasive and metastatic potential, stemness properties and chemoresistance. Recent studies have demonstrated that EMT activation is the result of dynamic and reciprocal interplay between OC cells and their tumor microenvironment (TME). Cellular or non-cellular component of TME, external factors related to TME such as hypoxia, oxidative stress, mechanical forces, as well as exposure to chemotherapy, all play significant role to EMT induction. Current understanding behind the mechanism of EMT induction in cancer cells have proposed the idea that EMT is not merely a binary process involving a complete conversion from epithelial to mesenchymal state, but rather a dynamic process that encompasses a range of hybrid states, a phenotype that has been referred to as “partial EMT”. Cells with partial EMT have been known to be more apoptosis-resistant and have more tumor-initiating potential as compared to those with complete EMT. Conclusions: Understanding the complex regulatory network that underlies EMT in OC cells is crucial in order to gain insight in developing novel and effective treatment strategies for OC.

Background: Borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) predominantly affects young women and is often diagnosed at an early stage. BOT accounts for 15% of all epithelial tumors. In this regard, a minimally invasive surgical approach and the ability to preserve fertility, without increasing the incidence of recurrences or worsening the prognosis, are crucial. This review aims to provide an update on the role and indications of laparoscopic surgery in BOTs. Methods: The electronic research was performed on Pubmed, Medline, and Embase. Articles published in the last 20 years (2004–2023) were included, and the following keywords were used: ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘laparoscopic surgery’, ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘minimally invasive surgery’, ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘fertility sparing’, ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘recurrence’ and ‘Borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘relapse’. The agreement about potential relevance was reached by consensus of the researchers and according to PRISMA statement guidelines. We thoroughly reviewed all bibliographies to assess the inclusion of any further eligible studies. We excluded studies that did not align with the study’s objectives. Results: The electronic database search yielded 767 total studies. Of whom, 188 were published before 2004, 84 were case reports, and 45 were not in the English language. Of the remaining 450 studies, 148 were considered eligible for the study. We included 20 studies in this review. Conclusions: Despite the latest guidelines recommending an open approach for the treatment of BOT, the laparoscopic approach has gained popularity as a feasible and safe alternative. The use of an endo-bag, along with advanced laparoscopic skills, has made the minimally invasive approach increasingly safe, with oncological outcomes almost comparable to those of reference. Moreover, in the context of fertility-sparing surgery (FSS), laparoscopy seems to be associated with improved obstetrical outcomes, without detrimental effects on overall survival and disease-free survival. Therefore, the laparoscopic approach in the treatment of BOT appears to be a safe and effective option, especially in the case of FSS.

Published: December 2023

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, which is characterized by endothelial dysfunction, pathologic vasculopathy, and increased tissue fibrosis. Traditionally, SSc has been regarded as a prototypical fibrotic disease in the family of systemic autoimmune diseases. Traditionally, emphasis has been placed on the three components of the pathogenesis of SSc: vascular, immune, and mesenchymal. Microvascular lesions, including endothelial dysfunction and smooth muscle cell migration into the intima of vessels in SSc, resemble the atherosclerotic process. Although microvascular disease is a hallmark of SSc, understanding the role of atherosclerotic vascular lesions in patients with SSc remains limited. It is still unknown whether the increased cardiovascular risk in SSc is related to specific cardiac complications (such as myocardial fibrosis) or the accelerated development of atherosclerosis. Different immune cell types appear to be involved in the immunopathogenesis of SSc via the activation of other immune cells, fibrosis, or vascular damage. Macrophages, B cells, T cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and endothelial cells have been reported to play the most important role in the pathogenesis of SSc and atherosclerosis. In our article, we reviewed the most significant and recent studies on the pathogenetic links between the development of SSc and the atherosclerotic process.

Published: December 2023

Pendoworejo Village, Kapanewon Girimulyo, Kab. Kulon Progo, DIY is an area designated by the government as LP2B (Sustainable Food Agricultural Land), but in reality, this area is experiencing quite a drastic shrinkage of agricultural land. This is influenced by the existing Trend “culinary with view” in the Kulon Progo area which is directly proportional to the widespread conversion of agricultural land into culinary business buildings. This phenomenon is a consequence of the modernization process in developing regions. This research aims to discover the social and economic impacts of local farmers in Pendoworejo District. To find answers to these problems, researchers used qualitative phenomenological research methods. The data obtained is primary data from interviews with informants who are farmers in Pendoworejo Village. This research shows that agricultural land conversion has the potential to have a social impact on local farmers in the form of reduced urbanization rates, changes in people's mindsets, cultural shock, and increasing affordability and availability of employment sectors. Meanwhile, the economic impact of agricultural land conversion is reducing unemployment, establishing relationships between entrepreneurs and the community, and increasing household income in local communities.

Урожайність материнських ліній гібридів кукурудзи залежно від способів кастрації та збирання
Authors: Маренич М. М. , Коба К. В.
Published: December 2023

Насіннєві посіви кукурудзи через низку чинників зазвичай формують менші врожаї, ніж товарові. При цьому насіння має відповідати високим фізичним, фітосанітарним та особливо генетичним стандартам. Метою досліджень було з’ясувати можливість підвищення урожайності насіння материнських ліній кукурудзи, зважаючи на погодні умови вирощування, способи видалення волоті та збирання. На підставі результатів досліджень виявлено, що середня урожайність насіння 2021 року становила 3,31 т/га, а 2022 року – 3,82 т/га. 2021 року урожайність гібрида Pioneer 1 з використанням кастраторів була меншою порівняно з варіантами ручного видалення на 0,87 т/га, а інших двох гібридів відповідно на 0,74 і 0,53 т/га. 2022 року закономірність зберіглася – обривання волоті вручну сприяло формуванню більшої врожайності насіння у гібрида Pioneer 1 на 0,77 т/га, у гібрида Pioneer 2 – на 0,93 т/га, а в гібрида Pioneer 3 – на 0,7 т/га. Найкращий показник урожайності за роки досліджень зафіксовано на материнській лінії гібрида Pioneer 1, який перевищував Pioneer 2 на 1,46 т/га, а материнську лінію Pioneer 3 – 0,67 т/га. За допомогою багато- факторного дисперсійного аналізу було встановлено орієнтовну величину впливу кожного фактора окремо на формування урожайності, де найбільшу частку мають генетичні особливості – 44 %. Іншим за важливістю виявився спосіб видалення волоті – 36 %. Умови років вирощування мали значно меншу частку впливу на формування врожайності насіння. Досліджено, що на урожайність та якість насіння материнських ліній значною мірою впливає також спосіб збирання. Збирання в качанах дає змогу розпочати його за умови вологості насіння майже на 11–13 % вище і призводить до збільшення врожайності цінного врожаю на 1,0 т/га. Внаслідок цього показник схожості насіння зростає на 6 %, що має велике значення для насінництва, оскільки вихід посівних одиниць з 1 га був більшим майже на 50 %.

Ячмінь ярий (Hordeum vulgare L.), входить до складу найбільш важливих зернофуражних та продовольчих культур. Дослідження, проведені на Полтавській ДСГДС імені М. І. Вавилова впродовж 2022–2023 рр., виявили, що на початок фази кущення рослин ячменю ярого найменшу кількість сходів бур’янів у посівах спостерігали за умови вирощування культури на фоні полицевого обробітку ґрунту. У разі проведення безполицевого обробітку спостерігається збільшення рясності небажаної рослинності у посівах культури на 22,3–28,0 шт./м2 або 51,0–64,1 % порівняно з оранкою. На час збирання ячменю ярого відзначено зворотну тенденцію, яка свідчить про зменшення рівня забур’яненості посівів на варіантах плоскорізного і чизельного обробітку ґрунту на 48,8–64,3 % відносно оранки. Згідно з одержаними експериментальними даними виявлено, що маса рослин бур’янів у повітряно-сухому стані як у фазу кущення, так і перед збиранням найбільшою була на фоні оранки. На варіантах безполицевого обробітку ґрунту як агрегатом ЧГ-40, так і ГРС-2 відзначено зменшення маси бур’янів, відповідно на 15,2–45,3 і 4,8–62,7 % та 26,8–45,3 і 21,4–57,8 % порівняно із оранкою. У структурі біологічних груп бур’янів, за варіантами основного обробітку ґрунту домінували малорічні види, частка яких варіювала в межах від 88,1 до 97,3 %. Серед варіантів обробітку ґрунту кращі умови для росту і розвитку ячменю формувалися на фоні чизельного обробітку ґрунту, де урожайність була максимальною 5,15 т/га. За умови плоскорізного обробітку і оранки врожайність зерна ячменю ярого поступалася чизелюванню, відповідно на 0,16 і 0,28 т/га. Результати досліджень свідчать, що збільшення глибини обробітку з 14–16 см до 22–25 см істотно не позначилося на зміні урожайності культури. Тобто можна вважати рівнозначним вплив різної глибини розпушування на врожайність ячменю ярого.
Хімічний захист ячменю ярого від комплексу шкідників в умовах Правобережного Лісостепу України
Authors: Чухрай Р. В.
Published: December 2023

Пошкодження і розвиток шкідників ячменю ярого є актуальною проблемою в сільському господарстві України. Надмірна спеціалізація господарств під посівами зернових культур та зміни клімату призводять до збільшення чисельності шкідників та змін екологічного оптимуму їх розвитку. Водночас найбільших збитків урожаю завдають домінуючі фітофаги, що пояснюється їх високою плодючістю та інтенсивністю розмноження. З метою захисту ячменю ярого від шкідників ми застосували хімічні засоби захисту, що дозволяють контролювати широкий спектр шкідників у стислі терміни. Облік шкідників проводили згідно із загальноприйнятими у захисті рослин методиками на двох сортах ячменю Квенч та Командор. Перше застосування інсектицидів відбувалось ще до сівби шляхом обробки насіння протруйником Гаучо Плюс 466 FS, ТН (імідаклоприд 233 г/л+ клотіанідин 233 г/л) у нормі витрати 0,5 л/т. Це дало змогу зменшити шкоду рослин від хлібних блішок та попередити пошкодження ґрунтовими та внутрішньостебловими шкідниками. Пошкодження листкової поверхні рослин ячменю за умови застосування протруйників знаходилось на рівні 3,6–4,8 % проти 9,0–10,3 % у контрольному варіанті. В період вегетації культури основну небезпеку культурі становили злакові попелиці, пшеничний трипс та клоп шкідлива черепашка. Застосування у фазу кущення – виходу у трубку інсектицидів Децис профі 25 WG (дельтаметрин 250 г/кг) – 0,04 л/га, Карате 050 ЕС (лямбда-цигалотрин – 50 г/л) – 0,2 л/га та Децис Ф-люкс (дельтаметрин, 25 г/л) – 0,3 л/га дозволило ефективно контролювати чисельність злакових попелиць та пшеничного трипса, технічна ефективність інсектицидів на 7-й день після застосування становила 87,8–91,5 % проти попелиць та 72,7–78,3 % проти пшеничного трипса. Остання обробка інсектицидами проводилась у фазу молочної стиглості зерна проти клопа шкідливої черепашки, технічна ефективність інсектицидів на 7-й день коливалась у межах 84,5–89,1 %. Загалом застосування інсектицидів дозволяє ефективно контролювати чисельність шкідників упродовж усієї вегетації ячменю ярого.

Authors: Cikmaz Atiye , Alabbad Yazeed , Yildirim Enes , Demir Ibrahim
Published: December 2023

Climate-induced disasters, particularly floods, pose a substantial risk to human well-being. These risks encompass economic losses, infrastructural damage, disruption of daily life, and potential loss of life. This study focuses on understanding flood risks to critical infrastructure, emphasizing the resilience and reliability of essential services during such disasters. In the United States, the railway network is vital for the distribution of goods and services. This research specifically targets the railway network in Iowa, a state where the impact of flooding on railways has not been extensively studied. We employ comprehensive GIS analysis to assess the vulnerability of the railway network, bridges, rail crossings, and facilities under 100- and 500-year flood scenarios at the state level. Additionally, we conduct a detailed investigation into the most flood-affected counties, focusing on the susceptibility of railway bridges. Our state-wide analysis reveals that in a 100-year flood scenario, up to 9% of railroads, 8% of rail crossings, 58% of bridges, and 6% of facilities are impacted. In a 500-year flood scenario, these figures increase to 16%, 14%, 61%, and 13%, respectively. Further, our secondary analysis using flood depth maps indicates that approximately half of the railway bridges in the flood zones of the studied counties could become non-functional in both flood scenarios. These findings are crucial for developing effective disaster risk management plans and strategies, ensuring adequate preparedness for climate change impacts on railway infrastructure.

The proliferation of AI-powered bots and sophisticated fraudsters poses a significant threat to the integrity of scientific studies reliant on online surveys across diverse disciplines, including health, social, environmental and political sciences. We found a substantial decline in usable responses from online surveys from 75% to 10% in recent years due to survey fraud. Monetary incentives attract sophisticated fraudsters capable of mimicking genuine open-ended responses and verifying information submitted months prior, showcasing the advanced capabilities of online survey fraud today. This study evaluates the efficacy of 31 fraud indicators and 6 ensembles using two agriculture surveys in California. To evaluate the performance of each indicator, we use predictive power and recall. Predictive power is a novel variation of precision introduced in this study, and both are simple metrics that allow for non-academic survey practitioners to replicate our methods. The best indicators included a novel email address score, MinFraud Risk Score, consecutive submissions, opting-out of incentives, improbable location, and survey start time. Despite multiple methodological innovations, none of the indicators or ensemble tests proved adequate due to the large proportion of fraudulent responses in original data samples. Findings underscore evolving tactics of fraudsters, demonstrating their increased proficiency in responding to matching, domain knowledge, and open-ended questions. We conclude with recommendations for developing adaptable fraud detection strategies.

Authors: Dhital Hari Prasad , Joshi Madhav , Budhathoki Nabin
Published: December 2023

Climate change is likely to have a significant impact on Nepal, affecting its infrastructure, agriculture, and water resources. This study created day-to-day bias-corrected data of precipitation (ppt), maximum temperature (tmax) and minimum temperature (tmin) at 0.25° spatial resolution for Nepal using 7 CMIP6-GCMs under two shared socioeconomic pathways, SSP245 and SSP585. The bias-corrected datasets were produced using an empirical robust quantile mapping method for ppt and quantile mapping with linear transformation function method for tmax and tmin. The bias-corrected dataset was evaluated by comparing it against observed data for the mean values of ppt, tmax and tmin. Our bias-corrected projections reveal a warming of 4-6°C and an increase in ppt of 40-60% by the end of the 21st century. These changes will have a significant impact on Nepal's climate, environment, and people. The bias-corrected projections can be used to assess the impact of climate change in Nepal and to develop adaptation strategies.
Exploring Recent Research on Definitions of the Myanmar Southwest Monsoon: A Comprehensive Bibliographic Overview
Authors: Oo Kyaw Than
Published: December 2023

Accurately pinpointing the onset and withdrawal dates of the monsoon bears significant implications for diverse sectors. However, this task is fraught with challenges due to the intricate interannual and spatial variabilities. The Myanmar Southwest Monsoon (MSwM) index emerges as a widely adopted tool for delineating the initiation and cessation of the southwest monsoon across its respective domains. The confluence of advancements in satellite remote sensing, climate modeling, and data assimilation techniques presents opportunities for refining monsoon intensity indices. Additionally, a nuanced comprehension of the intricate interactions between the monsoon and climate teleconnections stands to enhance the assessment of monsoon intensity. Distinguished as a distinct entity from the major South Asian monsoon system, the MSwM follows a seasonal cycle intricately linked to mainland Indochina. The thermal influence of the Tibetan Plateau amplifies both meridional and zonal land-sea thermal contrasts, underscoring the importance of monitoring and anticipating monsoons. The MSwM, a product of complex interactions involving the earth, ocean, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and cryosphere, exerts a profound impact on regional facets such as agriculture, ecology, chemistry, economics, and society. As technological strides continue, especially in satellite observations and climate models, avenues open up for refining our understanding of monsoon dynamics. The limitations inherent in the current coupled model of the land-sea-atmosphere system underscore the anticipation for advancements in modeling studies. Research in this domain not only contributes to the regulation of human activities but also fosters a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, safeguarding the human habitat.

Published: December 2023

The aim of this study is to look into the connections between unemployment, economic inequality, and poverty in Nepal. In the study, variables including absolute poverty, CPI index score, Gini coefficient, and unemployment are used with data from 2000 to 2020. The Toda Yamamoto test was used in the study to determine whether the variables were causally related because not all data were stationary, even at the second difference. Additionally, the stability was evaluated using a cointegration test, and the normalcy test was observed using a descriptive analysis. According to the study's findings, poverty in Nepal is significantly influenced by corruption, income inequality, and unemployment. The variables are found to have a direct or indirect correlation with one another. Therefore, the study comes to the conclusion that preventing poverty in Nepal would be difficult without reducing corruption, economic disparity, and unemployment. Policymakers may find the findings helpful in creating plans to combat poverty and advance the nation's economy.

The children toys are the most favorable things for children to play. But these children toys are not safe from toxic chemicals too. There is presence of different toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, barium, chromium, zinc etc. The standard value for different heavy metals is set up by the government of Nepal that came into effective from July 15, 2017. The standard was set up for the 12 toxic heavy metals as cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, zinc, antimony, arsenic, barium, bisphenol A, bromine, selenium and phthalates. The study was focused on the study of the compliance of toxic heavy metals in children toys with the national standard. For the study total 52 toys were collected from different places of Nepal: Bhaktapur, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Chitwan, Janakpur and Nepalgunj from the local vendors to the supermarkets. The toys were generally made up of plastic, rubber, metal, foam etc. After the collection and sampling of the toys they were tested in the lab of Nepal Handicraft Association of Nepal Bureau of Standard and Metrology (NBSM) by the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology. Among the 52 toys, no any heavy metals were detected in 15 toys and 37 toys were detected with multiple toxic heavy metals. The heavy metals detected in the toys were lead, cadmium, bromine, chromium, zinc and barium. Even most of the detected result is under the compliance it is very serious issue that the non-compliance result of heavy metals like lead is very much more (4688 ppm) than the standard value (90 ppm) in the toy: tortoise. In the same way, 22 children toys have the labelling and rest do not have the labelling. But the labelled children toys don’t have the labelling about the chemical safety. Though the national standard has been formulated the local or the parents themselves are unaware about the toxic heavy metals present in the toys. As well there has raised a big confusion in the standard of the toxic heavy metals as the new standard has been published omitting the standard of the heavy metals as phthalates, BPA, bromine and zinc. Thus, these points should be considered in order to implement the standard effectively and to save the children from the chemical hazards.

The experiment comprises eight varieties ‘Florida Beauty, Florida Festival, Sweet Sensation, Ruby Gem, Elyana, Winter Star, Winter Dawn, and Nyho (check variety) as treatments, laid out in a single factorial RCBD with four replications. The fruits of different varieties were harvested at their respective physiological maturity and fresh juice was extracted for qualitative analysis. The qualitative analyses revealed that the maximum TSS (9.88 °Brix) was recorded in the Nyho variety while the minimum TSS (6.58 °Brix) was recorded in Florida Festival. The maximum amount of TA (0.93 %) and the highest Vitamin C (75.57 mg/100 g) was recorded in fruits of Elyana while the minimum TA (0.71 %) in Sweet Sensation and the lowest amount of Vitamin C (59.89 mg/100 g) was recorded in Nyho. In the case of antioxidant properties of evaluated strawberry varieties, Elyana was found to be superior (81.33 %) while the lowest antioxidant properties were observed in fruits of variety Nyho with a value of 63.23 %. The maximum phenols content (0.64 mg GAE/g) was found on harvested fruits of Nyho while the minimum phenols content (0.24 mg GAE/g) was recorded in fruits of the Winter Star variety. Among the tested varieties, sweetness and aroma were the highest in Nyho while Elyana and Sweet Sensation were superior in nutritional attributes.

The study was conducted at Tulsipur, Dang, Nepal for two years (2021 and 2022 A.D.) to assess the postharvest quality performance of open pollinated (OP) cauliflower curd. Five OP cauliflower cultivars viz. Kathmandu Local, Khumal Jyapu, Agheni, Terai-1 and Terai-2 (seed sourced from Nepal Agriculture Research Council, Khumaltar, Lalitpur) were replicated four times in Randomized Complete Block Design. Freshly harvested curds from respective plots were considered in postharvest and sensory study. Maximum curd dry matter (15.91%) and Vitamin C content (37.94 mg/100 gm) was recorded in Khumal Jyapu whereas, maximum leaf dry matter (12.53%) and TSS (7.1830Brix) were recorded in Aghani. The color score (8.913) and overall appearance score (7.908) were maximum in Khumal Jyapu. The curd compactness score (7.475) and overall acceptance score (8.133) were recorded maximum in Aghani. The lowest physiological loss in curd weight with jacket leaves (8.193%) was recorded in Khumal Jyapu after 3 days after harvesting (DAH) whereas; the lowest physiological loss in curd weight recorded in Aghani were 13.47%, 19.32%% and 25.06% at 5, 7 and 9 DAH respectively. Similarly, the lowest physiological loss in curd weight without jacket leaves recorded in Khumal Jyapu were 10.45%, 14.82%, 22.83% and 29.77% at  3, 5, 7 and 9 DAH respectively. The lowest spoilage losses of curd along with and without jacket leaves recorded in Aghani were 33.27% and 38.77% respectively. Considering the economically important postharvest attributes Khumal Jyapu and Aghani were found to be the suitable mid-season cultivars in Dang condition.

Published: December 2023

Background: Hypertension, often known as high blood pressure, is a crucial public health issue and an essential topic of study because of its high prevalence and being a vital exposure to cardiovascular diseases and other health consequences. Therefore, being both a standalone disease and a precursor to non-communicable illnesses, hypertension poses a global health menace.

Objective: The study was conducted to investigate the status of hypertension and its associated risk factors among the teachers from Tribhuvan University Campus.

Materials and Methods:  The cross-sectional research study involved 247 teachers from TU central campus using stratified random sampling and both descriptive and inferential statistical analytical methods. Multinomial logistic regression model was employed to investigate the relationship between several variables and hypertension levels.

Results: The fitted model, which had a classification accuracy of 67.2%, met the diagnostic test requirements for goodness of fit, multi-collinearity and minimal criteria of the model's use. Influential variables for pre-hypertension included interpersonal relationship, age group, gender, duration of service, smoking and physical activeness. For hypertension, significant variables encompassed job itself, interpersonal relationship, age group (45-50 years), gender, duration of service, smoking, tobacco use and physical activeness.

Conclusion: It was observed that 37.7% of the respondents had hypertensive status, 30.3% were surpassing normotensive and 32.0% were pre-hypertensive. Teachers’ hypertension status was discovered to be influenced by a variety of sociodemographic, behavioral, clinical, and stress variables. Concerned authorities must pay close attention to this issue.
Laws Related to Banking Offences: A Social Analysis
Authors: Gartaula Milan R.
Published: December 2023

Banking is an important institution and in banking too, there are many more offences over its activities. Law is a formal tool to socially control such activities. The article is an analysis of such discourses.

The factors that come into play while the Judiciary delivers verdict to some particular banking offence case are not solely technical; for social aspects also come into play. Laws are made with reference to some particular state of society; and need to be complemented with certain assumptions and extrapolations when used in a different state of society. This creates room for multiple explanations as shown in the different case studies listed in this paper.
THE ARCHIVE OF MUSICAL FOLKLORE OF THE LITHUANIAN ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND THEATRE: "BEAUTIFUL SONG" – AN IMAGE THAT DEFINED THE DEVELOPMENT AND SYSTEM OF THE ARCHIVE
Authors: Lutkutė-Zakarienė Varsa
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article reflects the discussions of the principles of musical folklore collection that were established at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (LMTA) and which formed the basis for the content of the article. It is clarified what led to the choice of one or another method of archive accumulation, what reasons determined the filling. The aesthetic views of the workers and leaders of folklore field research, their attitude to the value and beauty of the song, which were important for the accumulation of content, are discussed. The following methods of scientific research were used: observation, comparison, experiment, measurement, abstraction. The scientific significance of the publication lies in the fact that the analyzed topics are treated for the first time in national ethnomusicology.

The preserved content reflects the values of the urban folklore movement of the late 20th century and describes the entire singing folklore of the villagers of that era. It also partly reflects the manner and style of singing in the villages of that time. This situation was dictated by historical circumstances, by the endeavor of the participants in the folklore movement to resist Soviet reality.

Authors: Protasova Svitlana
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is the study of the therapeutic features of the Ukrainian traditional singing (UTS). Research methods are as follows. The characteristic features of Ukrainian folklore performance (such as timbre, varia- bility, etc.) are described in terms of their influence on the psychophysiological state of singers. Features of singing in different timbres, as well as solo and ensemble are compared. The complex influence of different UTS indicators (per- forming, musical-therapeutic, psychophysiological, etc.) is analysed. Data on powerful therapeutic musical resources contained in UTS are identified. Conclusions. The study reveals 1) the UTS ability to reduce the level of stress, to pro- mote relaxation and rest; 2) the opening voicing capability to enhance the antistress effect of UTS; 3) the influence of singing variability on creativity level increasing, a sense of freedom and positive emotions enhancing; 4) the ensemble UTS ability to strengthen self-reliance, motivation, to bring joy, to promote the emotional unity of singers. 5) The unique therapeutic capacity of the UTS is formed due to the complex action of its musical parameters. The relevance of the study is seemed to be explained by the understanding of the therapeutic properties of UTS as an effective means of stress reducing and overcoming the post traumatic stress disorder consequences.
