Predictors of hurricane evacuation decisions: A meta-analysis
Authors: Tanim Shakhawat H. , Wiernik Brenton M. , Reader Steven , Hu Yujie
Published: December 2021

We systematically review and meta-analyze quantitative prediction models for hurricane evacuation decisions. Drawing on data from 33 prediction models and 29,873 households, we estimate distributions of effects on evacuation decisions for 25 predictors. Mobile home occupancy, evacuation orders, and having an evacuation plan showed the largest positive effects on evacuation, whereas increased age and Black race showed the largest negative effects. These results highlight the importance of both social-economic-structural factors and government action, such as evacuation orders, for enabling evacuation behaviors. Moderator analyses showed that models built using real-hurricane decisions showed larger effects than models of hypothetical decisions, especially for the strongest predictors. Additionally, models in Florida had more consistent results than for other U.S. states, and models with a larger number of covariates showed smaller effect sizes than models with fewer covariates. Importantly, our study improves methodologically and inferentially over previous reviews of this literature.
Visualization aesthetics bias trust in science, news, and social media
Authors: Lin Chujun , Thornton Mark Allen
Published: December 2021

Scientists, policymakers, and the public rely on data visualizations to inform important decisions. Visualization aesthetics may vary independent of data quality. Across five-preregistered studies (3,405 participants, 1,219 graphs), we comprehensively investigated whether the beauty of a graph influences how much people trust it. Results indicate that graph beauty predicts increased trust in real-world graphs across three important domains: social media, news, and scientific publications (Studies 1-3). Moreover, beauty had consequential correlates, predicting increased citation and comment numbers. We next identified visual features that are associated with perceptions of graph beauty (Study 4). We used these insights to manipulate graph beauty, and observed that doing so causally increased trust (Study 5). This effect was fully mediated by people’s inferences of the general competence of the graph maker (Study 5b). These findings reveal a novel factor shaping trust in real-world information that is relevant to a wide range of domains.
Reciprocal Relationships Between Subjective Age and Retirement Intentions
Authors: Nagy Noemi , Rudolph Cort , Zacher Hannes
Published: December 2021

Organizational researchers and practitioners have become increasingly interested in how subjective age—employees’ perceived age—is related to important work and career outcomes. However, the direction of the relationship between employees’ subjective age and retirement intentions remains unclear, thus preventing theoretical advances and effective interventions to potentially delay retirement. We contribute to the literature on work and aging by investigating the relationship between subjective age and retirement intentions longitudinally, using a sample of n = 337 workers who participated in a study with six measurement waves across 15 months. Results of a random intercept cross-lagged panel model show unique between-person and within-person relationships linking subjective age and retirement intentions. As expected, we found a positive relationship between subjective age and retirement intentions at the between-person level of analysis. At the within-person level of analysis, results suggest that retirement intentions positively predicted subjective age, but not vice versa. Overall, these findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of subjective age in the context of work and retirement.

Published: December 2021

This is the first large-scale study of resources as a form of language management – that is, a way of influencing children’s language practices. We introduce the distinction between child-directed resources (i.e., those providing parents with opportunities to engage with their children in the languages they are transmitting) and parent-directed resources (i.e., those providing parents with information about multilingual child-rearing). This study focused on the awareness and use of, as well as the desire for, such resources among Québec-based parents (n=819) raising infants/toddlers (0-4 years) with multiple languages in the home. Data were collected with a questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed statistically, and qualitative data were analyzed using a computer assisted discourse study. We compared parents transmitting at least one immigrant heritage language – usually in addition to English and/or French (HL parents), and parents transmitting only English and French (non-HL parents). Overall, the findings show that non-HL parents were comparatively satisfied with existing child- and parent-directed resources in English and French. By contrast, HL parents had a stronger desire for additional resources in their HLs. All parents desired multilingual resources. The paper discusses the theoretical and practical contributions of this study as well as directions for further research.
How much does sleep vary from night-to-night? A quantitative summary of intraindividual variability in sleep by age, gender, and racial/ethnic identity across eight-pooled datasets
Authors: Messman Brett , Wiley Joshua F. , Yap Yi Yang , Tung Natasha Yan Chi , Almeida Isamar M , Dietch Jessee , Taylor Daniel , Slavish Danica Christine
Published: December 2021

Study Objectives: Habitual sleep duration and efficiency vary widely by age, gender, and racial/ethnic identity. Despite growing research on the importance of night-to-night, intraindividual variability (IIV) in sleep, few studies have examined demographic differences in sleep IIV. The present study describes typical sleep IIV overall and by demographics among healthy sleepers. Methods: Eight international data sets of healthy sleepers (N = 2404; 26,121 total days of sleep data) were synthesized to examine age, gender, and racial/ethnic identity differences in sleep IIV measured via diaries, actigraphy, and electroencephalography. Sleep IIV estimates included the intraindividual standard deviation (iSD), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), coefficient of variation (CV), and a validated Bayesian Variability Model (BVM). Results: Sleep duration and efficiency varied widely from night-to-night within people (duration iSD: 67.04–85.80 minutes; duration RMSSD: 91.93–118.91 minutes; duration CV: 18.57–19.19%; duration BVM: 48.60–60.60 minutes; efficiency iSD: 5.18–6.46%, efficiency RMSSD: 7.01–8.44%; efficiency CV: 5.80–8.14%; efficiency BVM: 3.40–4.16%). Different metrics of IIV were strongly correlated for sleep duration (rs .58–.97) and sleep efficiency (rs .53–1.00). Younger adults had more IIV in diary and actigraphy sleep duration. Gender differences were inconsistent. White and non-Hispanic/Latinx adults had less IIV in sleep duration and efficiency compared to racial/ethnic minority groups. Conclusions: Even among healthy sleepers, sleep varies widely from night-to-night. Like mean sleep, there also may be disparities in IIV in sleep by demographic characteristics. Study results help characterize normative values of sleep IIV in healthy sleepers.
The Future of Low-emission Sustainable Cereal Intensification in SSA
Authors: Tesfaye Kindie , van Loon Marloes , Berge Hein ten , Hijbeek Renske , Solomon Dawit , Van Ittersum Martin
Published: December 2021

This brief summarizes results of three recent studies that assessed whether Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) can be self-sufficient in cereals (maize, rice, wheat, sorghum, and millet) while minimizing GHG emission by 2050 under different scenarios of intensification on existing cereal area, as opposed to crop land area expansion. The results from three studies suggest that intensification of cereal production with sufficient and efficient use of fertilizers could lead to the lowest GHG emissions among the scenarios studied in future cereal productions in SSA. However, this requires excellent agronomy, including the use of well-adapted cultivars, proper planting densities, good nutrient management and crop protection against weeds, pests, and diseases. It should also be noted that intensification of cereal production may also have additional benefits, including improving the economic profitability for smallholders in SSA.

Introduction
Maternal mortality reflects reproductive health status and availability of good health care facilities at different levels of the healthcare system at a given period, influenced by globally adopted safe motherhood policies. The leading causes of maternal death in Nepal mainly comprise of hemorrhage, eclampsia, abortion-related complications, gastroenteritis and anemia. Although a declining trend has been noted in Nepal it has yet to meet the target set by the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.1 of reducing the global MMR to less than 70 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030. 
MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) from 1st Baisakh 2055- 30th Chaitra 2069 (15th April 1998- 14th April 2013). The study period of 15 years was divided into three parts, five years each: 2055-59 (14th April 1998-April 13th 2003) ; 2060-64 (14th April 2003- April 12th 2008) and 2065-69 (April 13th 2008 –April 12th 2013). MM was filled in Performa, discussed in morning conference and MM audit, computerized, analyzed, presented quarterly and yearly. Annual Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) expressed as MMR per 100,000 live births is calculated by dividing recorded (or estimated) maternal deaths by total recorded (or estimated) live births in the same period and multiplying by 100,000. 
ResultsTotal MM/maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the first, mid and last five years were 39 (270 %); 37 (212% ) and 37 (188%) respectively giving overall total MM/MMR 113 (223.5%) attributing to Direct: 55 ( 48.6%), Indirect: 44 (38.9%) and Non maternal deaths: 14 (12.3%). Predominating cause of MM in the first/mid/last five years were sepsis and infective hepatitis each (17.6%) and PPH (18.5 %). While SP/E were almost same over the years, in decreasing trend were hepatitis and puerperal sepsis but in rising trend was PPH and criminally induced abortion (10.6%). Thenumber of maternal death has not changed much, the median age in each five years is surprisingly similar, set at 25 years and the adolescents who died were not very different in every five years. It’s unfortunate that many primigravida died during this period which is a matter of concern. 
ConclusionsMaternal mortality stresses the impact of timely health seeking behaviour and health providers making provision of prompt adequate services and referral to help so that all Nepalese mothers, especially the young and first-time pregnant thrive.
Keywords: infective hepatitis, maternal mortality, maternal mortality ratio, PPH, sepsis.

Informácia o jednej zaujímavej všeobecno-vzdelávacej aktivite časopisu Quark
Authors: Jesenák Karol
Published: December 2021

At the end of 2020, the Quark editorial office launched on its Facebook page an interesting competition called "Photo Puzzle". The basic premise is that the editors of the journal publish an original picture related in some way to science and technology, with an enclosed question. However, the image itself usually does not provide enough information to identify the correct answer. Instead, it provides an opportunity to creatively think about possible solutions in the absence of perfect information. In this sense, the questions differ from the typical school problems, which require accurate formulation and have clear answers. Since in everyday life we rarely encounter this type of „school“ questions, this activity by Quark staff should be appreciated.

Dá sa naša planéta ešte pre jej obyvateľov (flóru a faunu) zachrániť?
Authors: Reguli Ján
Published: December 2021

The measures to mitigate climate crisis taken so far are insufficient, as they fail to slow down the deterioration of all parameters – an increase in CO2 and methane content, rising air and water temperature, which causes rising ocean levels, the extinction of many animals and plants, an increase in bulk and nano- plastics in the environment. Physical chemistry provides an explanation of the problem we face: In the last hundred years we have deviated our planet far from the equilibrium that was established in millions years before. The greater the deviation is, the greater is the rate the system tries to reach the equilibrium again. This article briefly mentions some of the most important issues: methane content in the air, renewable energy sources, extinction of insects and degradation of soil, use of disposable plastics, nanoparticles from rubber tires in the environment. The greatest problem lies in insufficient education.
A complementary covariant approach to gravito-electromagnetism
Authors: Giardino Sergio
Published: December 2021

From a previous paper where we proposed a description of general relativity within the gravito-electromagnetic limit, we propose an alternative modified gravitational theory. As in the former version, we analyze the vector and tensor equations of motion, the gravitational continuity equation, the conservation of the energy, the energy-momentum tensor, the field tensor, and the constraints concerning these fields. The Lagrangian formulation is also exhibited as an unified and simple formulation that will be useful for future investigation.

Published: December 2021

The plants of genus Heliotropium L. (Boraginaceae) are well-known for containing the toxic metabolites called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) in addition to the other secondary metabolites. Its spread in the Mediterranean area northwards to central and southern Europe, Asia, South Russia, Caucasia, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and India, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and over lower Iraq, Western desert. The present study includes the preparation of various extracts from aerial parts of the Iraqi plant. Fractionation, screening the active constituent, and identification by chromatographic techniques were carried out.Heliotropium  europaeum herbs were first defatted with n-hexane then extracted exhaustively by soxhlet apparatus using absolute methanol. The extract was filtered and the solvent was evaporated by applying a reduced pressure by a rotary evaporator. The residue suspended in distilled water and partitioned with chloroform, ethyl acetate,  n-butanol. The hydrolysis step was done for the two fractions (n-butanol and ethyl acetate).  Phytochemical analysis for the screening and identification of bioactive substances of the Heliotropium europaeum plant was done for each fraction. The identification of n-butanol and ethyl acetate fractions was carried out by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and HPLC technique. For quantitive analysis, the concentration was calculated by serial concentrations of external standard materials to build a calibration curve between concentration and its equivalent peak area. The outcomes of this study were the identifications of new six phenolic compounds from H. europaeum ethyl acetate fraction, which exhibited wide biological activity. The identified compounds were kaempferol (1), Silybin (2), caffeic acid (3), Genistein (4), Apigenin (5), in addition to syringic acid (6). In the present study, we regard the first to report such results about the phenolic compounds in H. europaeum extract. A total of six discovered phenolics were identified in this extract for the first time. Our results on H. europaeum constituents provide a scientific base to examine the pharmacological effects of this plant in the future.

Using a constitutional approach to predict the onset of a disease can be key not only to solving the problem of late-stage lifestyle modification therapy but also to understanding the deep, seemingly incomprehensible links between organs and body structure. The aim of the study was to establish and analyze the differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or psoriatic men of different somatotypes depending on the severity of the disease. Anthropo-somatotypological examination was performed on Ukrainian men (aged 22 to 35 years) with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe). A clinical assessment of the severity and area of psoriatic lesions was performed using the PASI index. Anthropometric data of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group was taken from the data bank of the research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical processing of the obtained results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. In patients with mild and severe psoriasis, men of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes in comparison with healthy men of the corresponding somatotypes, higher values of almost all total (in the endo-mesomorphs with severe disease), transverse (except for shoulder width) and lateral body size (except endo-mesomorphs with severe disease) was found. In patients with psoriasis, men of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with a mild course of the disease found greater than in patients with a similar course men of mesomorphic somatotype, body weight, length and surface area, height of acromial and finger anthropometric points, and transverse middle thoracic diameters and anteroposterior middle thoracic diameter; and in patients with psoriasis men of endo-mesomorphic somatotype with a severe course of the disease – only greater values than in patients with a similar course of the disease men of mesomorphic somatotype, interspinous distance. When comparing the total, longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the body between men with psoriasis of the corresponding somatotypes, in representatives of the mesomorphic somatotype with a mild course of the disease found greater than with severe course, body length values and lower – posterior middle thoracic diameter. The revealed differences in total, longitudinal and transverse body sizes between healthy and/or patients with mild or severe psoriasis Ukrainian men of mesomorphic and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes provide an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of the use of body structure and size to identify risk groups psoriasis.
Influence of quercetin on morphological changes in rats testes after 180 days during central deprivation of luteinizing hormone
Authors: Stetsuk Ye.V. , Shepitko V.I.
Published: December 2021

A relevant and popular area of research is the protective effect of the bioflavonoid quercetin, which makes it possible to use it to correct testicular dysfunction of various origins. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of quercetin on the microscopic organization of rat testicles, nitric oxide production and the intensity of oxidative stress in rat testicles on the 180th day of the experiment, during experimental central deprivation of luteinizing hormone synthesis caused by triptorelin solution. The experiment was performed on 20 adult male white rats. Rats were divided into 2 groups of 10 animals in each group: control group (I), group with central deprivation of LH synthesis + quercetin (II). Animals from the group with central deprivation of LH synthesis were injected subcutaneously with triptorelin acetate at a dose of 0.3 mg of active substance per kg and quercetin 100 mg per kg of body weight 3 times a week, while the control group was injected with saline. Ultrathin sections made by ultramicrotome were contrasted with 1 % aqueous uranyl acetate and lead citrate according to the Reynolds method and examined by electron microscopy. According to standard methods, the material was poured into paraffin blocks, from which sections with a thickness of 4 μm were made and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Histological specimens were examined using a Вiorex 3 light microscope with a digital microfilter with software adapted for these studies. All biochemical studies were performed in 10 % of testicular tissue homogenate using a Ulab 101 spectrophotometer. Statistical processing of the study results was performed using Microsoft Office Excel software and Real Statistics 2019 extension. The nonparametric Mann-Whitney test was used to determine the statistical significance of differences between groups. Our study of the interstitial space in the testes of white rats showed the heterogeneity of populations of endocrinocytes and macrophages and the variability of structural and functional parameters. In the tissues of the testes in conditions of prolonged central deprivation of testosterone synthesis develops oxidative stress, which on the 180th day of the experiment leads to the development of edema of the interstitial space, followed by tissue fibrosis. Changes in the polarization of macrophages in our opinion may cause oxidative stress in the testes, as evidenced by increased iNOS activity and decreased arginase activity, but use of quercetin protects rat testicular tissue from oxidative damage caused by triptorelin by increasing direct antioxidant system and effects on the lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism.

Published: December 2021

Com o objetivo de melhorar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem e de promover a educação integral do aluno, o campo da formação docente estuda o que o professor necessita saber para bem conduzir o seu trabalho. Por outro lado, as instituições de ensino públicas devem realizar concursos para selecionar os docentes que melhor atendam às suas necessidades. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa analisou os editais de concursos para docentes efetivos do Ensino Básico Técnico e Tecnológico – EBTT, de cinco Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do estado de Minas Gerais sob a perspectiva da caracterização dos saberes docentes de Maurice Tardif, a fim de identificar o que se espera desse professor a partir do que ele deve saber para ingressar na carreira. Observou-se que os editais dos concursos têm privilegiado os saberes disciplinares em detrimento dos saberes profissionais, curriculares e experienciais. Consequentemente, o perfil dos professores selecionados se aproxima mais da racionalidade técnica do que da formação integral proposta aos discentes no Ensino Médio Integrado ofertado por esses Institutos.

Published: December 2021

A bacia hidrográfica do Botafogo, localizada no litoral norte do Estado de Pernambuco, estende-se por cerca de 480 km². Situa-se nessa bacia o único reservatório de água do Litoral Norte do Estado, o qual se encontra integrado ao sistema de abastecimento de água da Região Metropolitana do Recife, Pernambuco. A única atividade agrícola nessa região é o cultivo de cana-de-açúcar e dentre os impactos ambientais causados por essa atividade encontra-se a contaminação de recursos hídricos e solo por agrotóxicos. Este trabalho objetivou analisar a ocorrência de herbicidas nas águas do riacho Catucá e rios Pilão e Botafogo, contidos na bacia do Botafogo. O estudo revelou, entre dezembro de 2010 e Julho de 2011, a presença do herbicida Diuron, em nove pontos de coleta no perímetro da citada bacia. Os resultados evidenciaram que o uso de agrotóxico já se faz presente nos corpos hídricos estudados, embora, as concentrações observadas não comprometam a qualidade da água para o abastecimento humano segundo Portaria MS N° 2.914/2011(Revogada pela PORTARIA DE CONSOLIDAÇÃO Nº 5 – MS em 2017). Sobre tal inferência foi observada a presença de Diuron em 100% das amostras de água superficial, em níveis até 30 vezes o estabelecido pela Comunidade Europeia. O estudo permitiu uma avaliação crítica dessas legislações com a finalidade de melhoria no monitoramento dos corpos hídricos no Brasil.

The dependences of measured locally magnetic characteristics of surface-hardened steel objects on the thickness and physical properties of their surface layers are studied. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that a change in the thickness of the hardened layer on the surface of steel objects affects on the magnitude of the tangential field component on the surface of the object in the interpolar space significantly , as well as the change in the strength properties of the layer affects the magnitude of the magnetic flux in the "transducer-object" circuit. It is proposed to use this difference in magnetic parameters for selective testing of the surface hardening quality. It is shown that the coercive force measured locally by the internal field and the maximum value of the magnetic flux, which can be measured using a single transducer in single measuring cycle, can be used as diagnostic parameters.

A technique for determining the depth and opening of a surface two-dimensional defect in a ferromagnet is presented, that is resistant to input data errors. Defects and magnetic transducers are located on opposite sides of the metal plate. The nonlinear properties of the ferromagnet are taken into account. The components of the magnetic field in the metal were reconstructed from the measured components of the magnetic field above the defect-free surface of the metal. As a result of numerical experiments, the limits of applicability of the method were obtained. The results of the technique have been verified experimentally.

Investigations of texture, phase composition and magnetic anisotropy in rolled samples of austenitic steel 09Kh17N5Yu were carried out. It has been shown that the method of magnetic nondestructive testing using measuring of magnetic fields from locally magnetized areas is sensitive to anisotropy of magnetic permeability. Anisotropy of magnetic properties is related to formation of mechanical rolling texture. FCC rolling texture {110}<111> was found in all the rolled samples. Rolling texture, common for BCC structure (strain-induced martensite in low-carbon austenitic steels), developed in the samples with 30% of deformation or higher. Formation of ferromagnetic strain-induced martensite in austenitic steel 09Kh17N5Yu was confirmed by magnetic force microscopy.

The possibility of testing the surface oxidation of zirconium has been investigated by the method of one-way active thermal non-destructive testing based on the analysis of radiation temperatures. The emissivity of the oxidized surface of zirconium samples obtained at different annealing temperatures was estimated at various stages and heating temperatures in the infrared wavelength range. It is shown that there is a principal possibility to remotely test the oxidation process of zirconium alloys used in the nuclear industry for the manufacture of fuel elements operating in the core of nuclear reactors.

The article reveals the role of the poster, which at the beginning of XXI century doesn’t lose the position of the main advertising medium for outdoor (especially in city lights), in interiors for various purposes, even as an element of the decor instead of paintings, in virtual competitions of various themes, and can be transformed into online ads banners.

Purpose of the study is environmental social advertising, an empirical analysis of visual language and stylistic trends in the poster was conducted. The research methodology is based on rethinking the results of the International Project “ECO-Culture”, whose objectives were the development of eco-thinking, popularization of eco-trends, the formation of poster art a new lifestyle in an urban environment, promoting the concept of clean cities and consumer culture. In this way, the role of education, art and design and the responsibility of each of us in the systemic changes for the environment is proved. To achieve this goal, scientific methods were used: system-structural, socio-cultural, axiological, comparative, method of theoretical generalization. Scientific novelty. Ecoposter has been actualized as a form of socio-cultural communication, strategically aimed at preserving the environment and creating comfortable conditions for human life and activity, changing consumer attitudes, strengthening social responsibility and positive values. Conclusions. The current state of ecoposter, in particular in Ukraine, motivates further initiatives and interdisciplinary approach to the development of ecoculture in society by means of Poster Art. In the arsenal of techniques to increase the efficiency and aesthetic level of ecoposters, the authors highlighted the use of creative advertising technologies – visual metaphors, hyperbole, associations, allegories and metonymy, focusing on the experience of famous poster artists and participants in international exhibitions and competitions.
The Influence of Western Pop Culture on the Creation of the Image of the Performer Through the Design of Advertising Posters and Plates in the Period of Late Socialism
Authors: Budnyk Andriy , Polishchuk Katerina
Published: December 2021

The aim of the research is to analyze the formation of the artist’s image through the design of musical posters and records in the period of late socialism by borrowing the semantic component and formal techniques in foreign pop culture, including graphic design, which served as an important component. The research methodology is based on a logical-analytical tool of scientific knowledge. Scientific novelty. Previous research has been supplemented by the analysis of new empirical data, including the design of record covers, visual coincidences of primary sources and borrowings. The revealed facts will be useful for the further development of both modern Ukrainian design and the formation of the artist’s image in show business. Conclusions. As a result of the study we conclude that in the period 1970-1990 in the process of formation of pop culture in the USSR the problem of its visual representation was formed, as evidenced by numerous pieces borrowed from foreign pop design solutions for advertising products: posters, placards, album covers, accompanying products. At an early stage, this trend was manifested despite the existence of the “Iron Curtain”, ideological isolation and was episodic. In the period chronologically close to the collapse of the USSR, such processes of stylistic citation in design became more frequent in line with the growth of information coming from the developed West. Copying Western techniques and visual language can be seen as a desire to break away from the dogmatic patterns of culture instilled by socialist realism, regardless of the conscious or unconscious nature of imitation. Blind imitation was later replaced by a reasonable rethinking, so in the best examples of domestic design of the period under study there were attempts to give formal Western methods the character of the local national color, which requires further exploration.
Chronology of the Development of Zine Culture in Ukraine and United States of America
Authors: Prystavka Viktoriya
Published: December 2021

The aim of the article is to study such a design phenomenon as «zine» in terms of etymology of the name and its synonymous variability in English and Ukrainian. The main attention is paid to the ordering and systematization of the chronology of the formation of zine culture in Ukraine and America from the first carriers of the idea of distribution of limited editions to the present day. The development of zine culture in these regions took place in parallel with the acquisition of originality, depending on the socio-cultural situation and technological progress. Adherence to the set goal involves the study of the possibilities of using zines in society, in particular in modern Ukraine. Currently, samizdat has integrated into a new culture and is becoming part of contemporary art and literature. Research methodology. To carry out this study, the method of analysis, comparison and generalization of the documentation of the development of zine culture and its scientific analysis was used. Scientific novelty. The article reviews the parallel formation of zine culture in Ukraine and America. Based on the analysis of different points of view on the stages of development of zines and significant events that influenced it, the author’s chronology is proposed, structured according to three criteria – purpose and content, technical progress, institutionalization of zine culture. Conclusions. The article provides an overview of the historical background of the origin of the terms «zine» and «samizdat», which revealed the semantic similarity of the terms «zine» and «magazine». At the same time, the unique properties of zine as an object with permission for authentic (uncensored) expression, free from commerce, independent of common aesthetic, linguistic and spelling standards, full of unique ability to broadcast creativity and innovation, become apparent. Zine has been found to be a recognized category of publications that a number of scholars and practitioners have sought to single out as an independent form of design. The Zines draw on a long history of independent, alternative, and sometimes radical publications that began long before the first Zines appeared in the 1930s. Over the past century, they have evolved with the communities that produced them and the new technologies that have become available.

Authors: Ivanenko Olena
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to find out the peculiarities of headscarves functioning in the late 19th – early 20th centuries as an element of women’s national dress, to identify general and specific characteristics of their manufacturing and methods of tying, to find out the etymology of the word "headscarf", to trace its relationship with the concept of "ubrus" and others similar in meaning. Research methodology. Using a comparative-historical method, we have explored the etymology of concepts related to Ukrainian women’s headwear. Using a historical-typological method, a cultural and art analysis of the study has been conducted. Scientific novelty. The etymology of significant concepts of Ukrainian headwear, namely "ubrus", "headscarf" and others, is thoroughly studied. Their characteristic features in different regions of Ukraine are noted. The methods of tying headscarves from the 19th to the early 20th century are analysed and presented, the characteristics of their production and distribution in the counties of Poltava province are marked. It is proved that in Poltava province at the end of the 19th century, there were two main ways of tying headscarves simultaneously: in the counties of the north-western part of the province, the method of tying a headscarf with a knot on the top of the head was common, and in the eastern part – with a knot on the neck. Conclusions. Everyday women’s headscarves were intended to cover, insulate and decorate the heads of married women. Patterned woven headscarves were distinguished by the local originality of the artistic solution. Festive headdresses of Ukrainian women differed in variety and elegance. Strict completeness is inherent in the forms of this integral part of the national costume as those that have been refining over many generations. At the end of the 19th century. the wimples, on which a lot of material was spent, were almost destroyed. Headwear of new shapes was becoming more practical, cheaper and lighter. "Starovytsky headscarves" give way to manufactured goods. At the beginning of the 20th century, headscarves became the most common headdress both in the city and in the village.
