Authors: Varlamova Natalia V. , Vasilieva Tatiana A. , Sorokina Elena A. , Chekharina Valentina I.
Published: September 2024

Involvement of children with migration history in the Russian education system is a necessary condition for their integration into the host society, their future economic and social success. Less than 20% of migrant children living in our country attend schools. But even their education causes serious problems due to poor knowledge of the Russian language, gaps in general education, and upbringing in a different ethno-cultural environment, often differing in its values and accepted rules of behavior. Russia and foreign states are implementing a variety of legal and organizational measures aimed at solving these problems and social adaptation of migrant children. The subject of this article is the analysis and generalization of the most effective practices.
Methodological individualism and legal regulation of economic activity
Authors: Efimov Anatoly V.
Published: September 2024

An adequate and flexible impact of law on the economy is impossible without differentiation of legal regulation. At the same time, the legal regime for the activities of persons must be determined by their individual economic characteristics. The philosophical basis for constructing such legal regulation, which could consider the economic characteristics of individuals, is methodological individualism. Within the framework of methodological individualism, it is assumed that the study of social processes should begin with the study of the behavior of individual individuals. In addition, legal influence on society (in particular, on the economy) is possible only through legal influence on the behavior of individuals engaged in economic activity. From the standpoint of methodological individualism, many problems of law can be rethought. In particular, the article examines the functional approach to the construction of legal norms, thanks to which the hypotheses of norms take into account economic characteristics that can individualize participants in economic activity; arguments are made in favor of the fact that the subject of legal regulation is (economic) activity; the use of deontic operators in legal norms and the classical definition of the concept of legal status are criticized; provides a new look at the theory of legal facts.

Conceptual approaches to determining the legal status of a child in modern conditions
Authors: Letova Natalia V.
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the problems of theory related to the absence in the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation of the definition of the concept of the legal status of a child, the elements that determine its content, which does not allow us to identify the specifics of the legal status of such a special subject of law as a child. Such a legislative provision has a very unfavorable effect on law enforcement, and ultimately on the child himself and his rights, which requires a revision of the foundations formed in the theory of law about the legal status of the individual, their modern “adaptation” in relation to the child.
The author comes to the conclusion that the trends in the development of legislation, the norms of which are aimed at regulating relations with the participation of a child, the degree of his activity in relations of a diversified type, indicate the need to highlight not only the general status, but also a special, individual legal status of the child, the content of which will allow more accurate identify the specifics of its legal status in comparison with other participants in civil circulation.
Harmonization of conflict of laws party autonomy and the regulatory competition
Authors: Erpyleva Natalia Y. , Get̓man-Pavlova Irina V. , Kasatkina Alexandra S.
Published: September 2024

Practice has shown that neither active international cooperation in the development of agreements directly regulating relations in the field of private international law (PIL), nor numerous acts of lex mercatoria can eliminate the need to resolve a conflict of laws issue. In this regard, it is not surprising that the modern lex mercatoria includes not only material norms, but also rules for choosing the applicable law. The “pinnacle” of the conflict of laws lex mercatoria at the moment are the Principles on Choice of Law in International Commercial Contracts, developed by the Hague Conference on PIL in 2015. The Hague Principles are a holistic, systematized document that codifies an independent integrated institution of PIL – the right of subjects of cross-border private relations to choose a competent legal regulator themselves. The Hague Principles cover in detail the main issues of the conflict of laws party autonomy and contain extremely important concepts and definitions. This study analyzes the potential of the Hague Principles in the process of regulatory competition from the point of view of two aspects: the non-binding nature of the document and the requirement of “internationality” of the commercial contract. When writing the article, the methods of comparative analysis and comparative jurisprudence, formal logic, literal and contextual interpretation were used. The article concludes that from the point of view of regulatory competition, the non-binding nature of the Hague Principles is their advantage, since “soft law” certainly wins in international trade. The Hague Principles are a set of best practices, compiled taking into account both international and national experience in regulating conflict of laws party autonomy. If the state perceives them as a role model, this will allow it to increase the competitiveness of its own law and the chances of choosing it as the most effective in relation to international commercial contracts. However, not all decisions of the Hague Principles appear to be positive from the point of view of regulatory competition. In particular, limiting their use only to commercial contracts with objective links to two or more legal systems reduces their competitiveness. In the modern world, parties to domestic transactions should also be able to use lex mercatoria acts as a neutral, balanced law, effective from the point of view of international transactions.

Clinical efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape-ischiopubic ramus versus transobturator tension-free vaginal tape in the management of female stress urinary incontinence
Authors: Ruan Yingqing , Liu Ping , Qiu Minjie
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a prevalent condition among middle-aged and elderly women in China, is characterized by the involuntary leakage of urine during instances of increased abdominal pressure [1]. Although SUI is not life-threatening, it substantially impacts patients’ physical and psychological well-being, impairs their social interactions, and diminishes their overall quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape-ischiopubic ramus (TVT-IR) and transobturator tension-free vaginal tape (TVT-O) in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

METHODS:

A retrospective analysis of clinical data from 83 female SUI patients was conducted, dividing them into a TVT-IR group ([Formula: see text] 41) and a TVT-O group ([Formula: see text] 42) based on the surgical procedures employed. Perioperative indices, surgical efficacy, complications, symptom improvement pre- and post-operation (3 months), urodynamic measurements, and indices related to pelvic floor function and quality of life were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS:

The TVT-IR group had significantly shorter operative time than the TVT-O group ([Formula: see text] 0.05). Three months after surgery, both groups had significantly lower frequency of incontinence, incontinence score, and number of nocturnal urination, significantly higher Pdet, ALPP, Qmax, and MUCP, significantly higher class I and class II fiber muscle strength and muscle potential, and significantly higher I-QOL scores ([Formula: see text] 0.05). The aforementioned indicators were superior in the TVT-IR group compared to the TVT-O group three months after surgery ([Formula: see text] 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

Both TVT-IR and TVT-O are effective in treating SUI, with comparable complication rates.
SwinDFU-Net: Deep learning transformer network for infection identification in diabetic foot ulcer
Authors: M.G Sumithra , Venkatesan Chandran
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:

The identification of infection in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is challenging due to variability within classes, visual similarity between classes, reduced contrast with healthy skin, and presence of artifacts. Existing studies focus on visual characteristics and tissue classification rather than infection detection, critical for assessing DFUs and predicting amputation risk.

OBJECTIVE:

To address these challenges, this study proposes a deep learning model using a hybrid CNN and Swin Transformer architecture for infection classification in DFU images. The aim is to leverage end-to-end mapping without prior knowledge, integrating local and global feature extraction to improve detection accuracy.

METHODS:

The proposed model utilizes a hybrid CNN and Swin Transformer architecture. It employs the Grad CAM technique to visualize the decision-making process of the CNN and Transformer blocks. The DFUC Challenge dataset is used for training and evaluation, emphasizing the model’s ability to accurately classify DFU images into infected and non-infected categories.

RESULTS:

The model achieves high performance metrics: sensitivity (95.98%), specificity (97.08%), accuracy (96.52%), and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (0.93). These results indicate the model’s effectiveness in quickly diagnosing DFU infections, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for medical professionals.

CONCLUSION:

The hybrid CNN and Swin Transformer architecture effectively combines strengths from both models, enabling accurate classification of DFU images as infected or non-infected, even in complex scenarios. The use of Grad CAM provides insights into the model’s decision process, aiding in identifying infected regions within DFU images. This approach shows promise for enhancing clinical assessment and management of DFU infections.

Published: September 2024

Health is an important factor in human life because in healthy conditions, humans can carry out activities comfortably and do a lot of good by providing benefits to others. Everyone always strives for various ways and efforts that are considered good to support health. Transplantation is one of the many ways to cure disease that can be done using technology. Transplantation is a problem that falls within the scope of Islamic law which is not only a classical problem but has also entered the scope of contemporary problems. In looking at a legal phenomenon that occurs, Islamic legal experts analyze legal cases by looking at what has been determined by the Al-Quran and Hadith. The response of Islamic law to the emergence of the phenomenon of organ transplantation is proof of the relevance of Islamic law in covering problems in the health sector. Therefore, this research will discuss the concept of health in Islamic law through an analysis of the law on organ transplantation. Regarding organ transplants, Islam highly respects the glory of humans, both living and dead. Humans are blessed with a perfect body shape, intelligent mind and the ability to regulate this universe. So it is natural that God glorifies humans above other creatures. That's why we are prohibited from trampling on other people's dignity. One must not destroy one's soul, self-esteem, feelings, even towards a corpse.

Seria Culture as Interpreted by H. Haendel in the Opera "Caesar in Egypt"
Authors: Krasylina Iryna
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this work is to understand the specifics of the cultural layer of opera seria, taking into account the church-specified mystical meaning of this genre and taking into account that artistically self-sufficient music first developed in the Viennese school, and the formed vocal of figurative singing, later designated as bel canto, had a pronounced church genetics and combined the meaning of "dematerialized", extraverbal expression. The elements of proto-Viennese art, indisputable in H. Haendel's presentation, do not remove the cultural and didactic direction of the entire opera "Caesar in Egypt" by H. Haendel. The methodological basis of the work is the position of the intonation approach of the school of B. Asaf'ev in Ukraine in the person of I. Lyashenko, I. Kotlyarevsky - and their numerous students who formed their own scientific schools (O. Kozarenko, O. Markova, O. Roschenko, etc.). At the same time, we highlight the hermeneutic-comparative, biographical-descriptive, stylistic-genre methods, as they reflected the discovery of the psychology of creativity in the works of J. Huizinga, M. Eliade, and other art historians. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the fact that for the first time in Ukrainian musicology, the cultural value of the heritage of opera seria as the brainchild of mystery-didactic thinking became the subject of research, and for the first time in the indicated direction, the above-mentioned work of H. Handel was analyzed. For the first time, the cultural specificity of the performance of a baroque opera is understood, the ecclesiastical essence of which does not coincide with the classics of the staged "opera realism". Conclusions. The generalization of information about the existence of seria from the beginning of the 18th century to the 1720s indicates significant changes in the conditions of the presentation of this genre in the theater and the audience's attitude to the typical features of the characters of the classic seria, with a hagiographic undertone, while the German version by H. Haendel is "infected" with elements of psychologism and individualization of the characters. Ahistorically, in the pledges of the Christian worldview principles of love and mercy, the historical material is interpreted, clearly aimed at the didactics of attracting the authority of the famous historical figures Caesar, Cleopatra to the pantheon of Christian-recognized forerunners of the work of Christ. Stagingly, considering the mysterious background of seria, one should take into account the seriousness-ecclesiastical nature of the idea of that genre as a "concert in costumes", taking into account the celebratory-initiative nature of the influence of this kind of pro-mysterial performances.
Commemorative Practices in the Projection of Bayan-Accordion Performance
Authors: Menko Nazar
Published: September 2024

The article aims to investigate commemorative practices in culture within the context of bayan-accordion performance. The analysis focuses on the performance aspects of these instruments within cultural memory and identification, as well as extrapolates how they shape and maintain historical-cultural memory. The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach, combining concepts of cultural studies and memory culture to study the impact of bayan-accordion performance on commemorative practices, contributing to a better understanding of identity formation and cultural heritage preservation through the lens of festival-competition movements. The scientific novelty of this research lies in analysing the interaction of bayan-accordion performance with commemorative practices in the context of contemporary cultural dynamics, reflecting their role in identity formation and cultural heritage preservation. The study opens up new perspectives for understanding the interrelationship between art, memory, and identity during periods of socio-cultural change. Conclusions. This study has established that an essential condition for the existence of a nation's identity as a form of state is the presence of unified political, economic, informational, educational, religious, and other institutions specific to that nation. Cultural memory formation policies are utilised by state institutions as a tool for shaping communication between various bearers of specific political beliefs and preferences. The research direction of memory studies is gaining popularity, highlighting the value of a comprehensive analysis of mechanisms shaping collective memory and its impact on the development of societal, particularly cultural policies, cultural-artistic processes, and values. These measures are intended to reflect a specific historical narrative that holds significant importance for a substantial portion of the community. It has been identified that a crucial element of commemorative practices in the cultural-artistic sphere is bayan-accordion performance. The expansion of repertoire and the increase in legitimacy of the bayan and accordion are inseparably linked to the professional growth of performers. It has been noted that in the 1990s, amid the need for the development of commemorative practices in Ukraine, significant growth in the festival-competition movement is observed. The roots of national music for the bayan and accordion lie in household mass music-making, where the prerequisites for development have their origins in the history of the creation and dissemination of instruments. These factors underscore the value of these instruments as significant levers in the implementation of cultural policies regarding national memory in the musical arts of Ukraine.

Motives of Ethnodesign in Modern Visual Culture
Authors: Syvash Ilona
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the role of ethnodesign in the formation of specifically Ukrainian features in modern visual culture, which contributes to self-identification and consolidation of the Ukrainian nation. The research methodology is based on methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalisation, a cross-cultural approach, which made it possible to establish signs of national and cultural identification in modern design creativity, which are the driving force for socio-cultural changes, to unify Ukrainian society. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the actualisation of the role of ethnodesign in providing modern visual culture with national features, which is important in the current wartime conditions, when the issue of Ukrainian national identity has become particularly acute. Conclusions. Visual identification of national culture requires the creation of an environment that reflects the cultural values, traditions and heritage of the nation. Ethnodesign plays an important role in preserving the identity of the people, as it embodies cultural and traditional values in various spheres of life. This, in particular, occurs through the application, quoting and reinterpretation of traditional Ukrainian motifs, colour palette, elements of national symbols, fonts with a Ukrainian historical visual basis, images of national traditions and rituals. Graphic design is the driving force of visual communication today. It reflects the prevailing ideology, social norms and cultural transformations. The use of ethnodesign in business is a way to emphasise its belonging to the self-sufficient Ukrainian nation rich in cultural traditions and to attract the attention of the audience with the help of "Ukrainisation" of such aspects as: logo, advertising, packaging, products, social media and websites, corporate events and activities. The influence of graphic design is not limited to commerce, it is also a powerful tool for socio-cultural changes, to the consolidation of Ukrainian society. The rethought and modernised style of ethnodesign brings it to the level of cross-culturalism. The digital revolution brought ethnic design to a new level, opened up opportunities for unlimited experiments with typography, colours, layouts.
Viennese Modern in Optics of E. Mach's Philosophy of Empirio-Criticism (Part I)
Authors: Slivinska Alina , Sapyelkina Zlata
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to present a philosophical reflection on the discourse of Viennese modern through the use of a scientific option, a change in a narrowly specialised view and, accordingly, methods in the assessment of the artistic process. To analyse the scientific-philosophical views of the Austrian mechanic, physicist, physiologist, one of the founders of the theory of empirio-criticism E. Mach, a recognised symbol of the worldview, mindsets and spiritual searches of Viennese modern, in order to deepen the understanding of the factors and the content of the main ideas, attitudes, intellectual searches of the modern era. Research methodology. The study of the discourse of Viennese modern was carried out by applying a number of methods – historical, analytical, structural, symbolic-allegorical. Scientific novelty. In the article, for the first time in domestic humanities, the phenomenon of Viennese modernism is considered in the light of E. Mach's philosophy of empirio-criticism. Conclusions. The worldview foundations of Viennese modern consist of the range of the illusory and material world, which was presented in the philosophy of empirio-criticism of E. Mach. E. Mach's concept of sensory perception, which received the name of philosophical impressionism, becomes the ontological basis of Viennese impressionism with a characteristic depiction in painting of impressions and complexes of sensory perception, not objects, with the awareness of one's own self as a collection of impressions. Viennese modern rejects the static sensual and material world of nature and strives to reflect the changing, flowing gamut of the world of sensations. Brings to the fore the colour, the discontinuity of the strokes, the blurring of the lines and the image itself, "fluidity", the absence of clear contours, which create the effect of "the ephemerality of being". The concept of personality as the variability of the "I", formulated by E. Mach, is one of the foundations of modernist creativity. The crisis of personality and identity is accompanied by aesthetic escapism in the field of highly eroticised art, associated with a "new sensuality" and a new understanding of corporeality in search of a new understanding of the Self.

The research methodology relies on a gender approach to analyse sex-disaggregated statistics and assess gender parity. The research methods are: comparative method – to identify differences in the representation of female and male exponents; historical method – to demonstrate the evolution of society's attitude towards a woman artist; biographical method – to find out the main stages of the work of female artists; art analysis – to study the features of the exhibited works; generalisation method – for summarising the results of the research. The scientific novelty. For the first time, an analysis of the exhibition projects of the Venice Biennale was carried out for the purpose of exhibiting the works of Ukrainian women artists there, the specifics of the presentation of the works of women artists were determined, and an assessment of gender parity in the analysed projects was carried out. Conclusions. The creativity of women artists in the exhibition projects of the Venice Biennale is an important component of the presentation of modern Ukrainian art at the international level. Since 2011, the share of women among the exhibitors of the Biennale has remained stable and amounts to an average of 40%. Gender parity was observed only once – in 2007. The peak value of the participation of female artists from Ukraine is fixed in 2022 (75%), which generally corresponds to the trend caused by the main curatorial project aimed at the rehabilitation of women's art. In the course of the research, the most represented Ukrainian artist in Venice was discovered – the works of Zhanna Kadyrova were exhibited at the Biennale in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2024.

Authors: Odrekhivskyi Roman , Vilchynskyi Matvii
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the research is to study the development and creative improvement of the artist in a theatre group. The scientific novelty is that for the first time in Ukrainian art history, the development and significance of the artist's personality in a ballet company is presented on such a wide theoretical basis. The authors made a survey of the ballet dancers and found out that a considerable number of artists prefer experimenting and using innovative methods to express their individuality, which contributes to their creative growth and freedom. The research methodology is based on an integrated approach and general methods of scientific research. The historical and cultural methods are used to reveal the historical prerequisites for the development of ballet in Ukraine, comparison of its cultural paradigms. A comparative method was utilised for studying the peculiarities of ballet movement development. The method of interviewing was applied in the form of surveying and conversation with artist group leaders, leading soloists, and ballet dancers. The method of theoretical and comparative analysis was used when processing scientific and methodical literature. Conclusions. The article analyses the formation of one's individuality that begins with mastering basic ballet knowledge and skills during training in the art of ballet. However, it is certain that the real experience of a ballet dancer comes only after joining a theatre or a ballet troupe, that is the first step in one's career. It has been found that the path to becoming an artist begins with mastering ballet technique during training, but true development of individuality begins during professional activity in a theatre or ballet company. Individuality in art is expressed in the creative style, views, and perception of the world through the works of the artist. An artist develops their unique style, reflecting personal feelings and emotions in their creations. The development of an artist's individuality requires constant improvement through various stages such as lessons, performances, masterclasses, and self-study. This process expands the understanding of art and allows the artist to freely express their individuality in their ballet creations.

Ensemble Performance: Theoretical, Practical, Aesthetic Dimensions
Authors: Bermes Iryna
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the characteristics of ensemble music-making through the prism of theory, practice, and aesthetics. The research methods are based on the use of a comprehensive approach, combining theoretical methods to elucidate the essence of ensemble performance, its main principles, and the possibility of extrapolating them into the practical and aesthetic sphere; synthesis method – to reveal the essence of ensemble performance in the combination of all its components. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that, for the first time, the problem of ensemble performance is considered comprehensively as a holistic theoretical, practical, and aesthetic system, within the context of multi-level connections revealing general patterns of development of performing professionalism. Conclusions. Even ancient Greek philosophers emphasised the uniqueness of ensemble performance among various forms of musical expression. For centuries, this type of musical practice has been positioned as the highest form of manifestation of the human spirit. Musical ensemble exists in two dimensions: personal and communicative, where these two constants in combination allow successfully realising the composer’s intention. Ensemble performance possesses a powerful intellectual, spiritual, emotional consolidating influence, realised in the practice of musical "communication." The peculiarities of the process of collective music-making in ensemble performance, close creative contact with partners, imply a high level of control during the creation of an artistic whole. In the embodiment of collective interpretation, "creative experience" is transformed into "creative co-experience". Ensemble performance is a complex and multifaceted process that requires musicians to have specific ensemble performance characteristics that develop only in conditions of collective music-making. It is an important means of shaping the personality of the musician and developing their creative abilities.
Symbolism and Operas by Ukrainian Composers
Authors: Oganezova-Grygorenko Olga , Androsova Daria
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the research is to identify symbolist stylistic features in operas by Ukrainian composers as an embodiment of the national characteristic feature of thinking in the art of the twentieth century and in opera in particular. The methodological basis is the intonation approach as an awareness of the genetic commonality of musical thinking and speech in the traditions of B. Asafiev and B. Yavorskyi's concepts in Ukraine, as presented in the works of the authors of this article, as well as in the works of O. Kozarenko, O. Markova, O. Roshchenko, O. Solomonova, V. Shulhina, among other scholars. The scientific novelty is determined by the historical need to understand the significance of the contribution of symbolism to the creative palette of Ukrainian authors, since the ideological in our country and aesthetic in the West rejection of the principles of symbolist thinking as connected with the religious foundations of the worldview has led to the silence of the realities of creative stimuli in art historical research. The latter is especially true of the modern avant-garde in Ukraine, which, represented by M. Boichuk, M. Roslavets and other famous artists today, have "dropped out" of the reviews of Ukrainian art of the twentieth century. Conclusions. The generalisation of the developments of recent decades, which are related to the awareness of symbolist tendencies in the foundations of the work of such masters as V. Barvinskyi, V. Kosenko, M. Leontovych, B. Liatoshynskyi, V. Rebikov, V. Silvestrov, K. Shymanovskyi, and other authors, allows us to assert that in the musical sphere, in opera, the symbolist worldview specifically occupies a prominent place. This is especially true of the trends in the early 1900s of M. Lysenko's work ("Taras Bulba", "Nocturne"), as well as the full implementation of the symbolist principles of expressiveness in M. Leontovych's opera "On the Mermaid's Easter", marked by "Debussyisms" and "Wagnerisms" in the themes and images and the general compositional solution of the one-act "opera-minute". In parallel to these discoveries, there are V. Rebikov's "psychodramas", of which the famous "Yalynka" from the beginning of the twentieth century is awarded the "palm" in the presentation of Debussyism-Scriabinism in the presentation of images-themes. This modernist trend also encompasses the expressiveness of B. Liatoshynskyi's operas, marked by the essence of symbolist-ambivalent manifestation of characters-symbols, characters-archetypes of the compositions of the named master and his many followers.
