МІЖМИСТЕЦЬКА ПОЛІФОНІЯ КНИГИ ПОЕЗІЙ «БАРОКОВЕ» ВОЛОДИМИРА ТИМЧУКА: ПРОБЛЕМА ІНТЕРПРЕТАЦІЇ ЛІРИЧНОГО ГЕРОЯ
Authors: Крупка Віктор , Віннічук Алла
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes the artistic features of the poetry book «Baroque» by Volodymyr Tymchuk, which is distinguished by the decorative nature of the baroque tradition. An important characteristic of the collection is intertextuality as a principle of the book's compositional organization, determined by stylistic uniqueness and ideological-artistic dominants. The focus is on the image of the lyrical hero, who achieves artistic completion through the prism of the trinity human / warrior / poet. Structurally, the book is divided into 4 sections: «Spring», «Summer», «Autumn», «Winter». Each of these is emphasized by subsections: «Human / To Live!», «Warrior / To Flame!», «Poet / To Love», which ultimately creates the sacred number «twelve», particularly significant in baroque aesthetics.
The cyclical nature of seasons is a traditional phenomenon in the construction of a poetry book, however, it bears more of an existential-eschatological character rather than an affirmation of existential renewal. In the trinity of the lyrical hero, we observe the divine origin of human essence, whose earthly mission is revealed in the aspect of the trinity of action to live / to protect / to love. The «Spring» section depicts the affirmation of the highest aspirations of the human soul, where factors of personal existence become particularly expressive when the internal becomes external, when world-creation becomes the foundation of self-creation. The «Summer» section reveals the lyrical hero as one who makes his choice and exists in the whirlwind of self-realization, as protecting is not merely a duty but an internal need. The uniqueness of the «Autumn» section is determined by the hero finding moments for self-observation, identifying with nature, and freeing himself from collective solitude. The «Winter» section serves simultaneously as the culmination and resolution of the book, creating a spacetime where the lyrical hero exists on the edge of eschatological irreversibility, while the recipient is filled with pain-catharsis.

The article examines the features of the methodology for using STEAM projects for making original dolls in the professional training of future technology teachers in higher education institutions. The development of creative abilities as a systemic aspect of the theoretical and practical training of future teachers is built into the holistic educational process of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) on the principles of STEAM.
In the implementation of the STEAM project, we assign a special role to personally oriented learning, when the creative abilities of higher education students and a stable motivation for integrated learning of disciplines of general and vocational training cycles are formed. In the implementation of the STEAM project, students develop the abilities of creative and critical thinking in solving problems and overcoming difficulties in practical activities. STEAM projects are distinguished by active communication and teamwork of participants in discussing and expressing opinions. Education students select design objects, offer original creative tasks - interdisciplinary STEAM projects, which can be useful in integrating technical, graphic and artistic disciplines of technology teacher training.
It was established that the STEAM project for making an author’s doll is an effective means of involving students in creative activities, develops creative abilities, forms aesthetic taste, and improves handcraft techniques with fibrous materials. The STEAM project for making an author’s doll used special software to create digital models of dolls, design doll clothes and accessories. At the planning stage, an analysis of varieties of textile dolls created by famous designers was carried out. In the methodological preparation of the STEAM project, the educational process was aimed at implementing interdisciplinary interactions, forming a system of general and professional competencies of future teachers of technologies with a creative aspect, who have the opportunity to master not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills in the technologies of artistic processing of materials.

The article is devoted to defining the content and structure of the skills of timbre-orchestral intonation of bachelors of musical art. In the context of modern requirements for music education, the key aspects of the development of education seekers related to the understanding and reproduction of musical material through its timbre-orchestral organization are highlighted. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of the formation of these skills as a basis for the interpretation of musical works in various performing and pedagogical contexts. It is indicated that these skills include the ability to analyze the timbre characteristics of instruments, an idea of their role in the general structure of the musical text, as well as practical use during performance or work with a musical work. Timbre-orchestral intonation skills are considered as the ability to perceive, analyze and reproduce a rich timbre palette, instrumental combinations, which is a key factor for further interpretation and a creative approach to the performance of a musical work. The structure of timbre-orchestral intonation skills is highlighted. It consists of three components – cognitive-motivational, reflective-sensory, cognitive-creative. We consider the cognitive-motivational component to be the core, since motivation crosses all the formations of a future teacher – needs, goals, ideals, will, beliefs. This component ensures the holistic nature of the performing and instrumental training of bachelors of musical art and reflects the level of motives for the activity of bachelors of musical art, the degree of formation of interest in pedagogical activity. The second component – reflective-sensory – combines the conscious perception of timbre features and emotional sensitivity in the process of interpreting a musical composition, the ability to realize one’s own performing process. The cognitive-creative component of timbre-orchestral intonation skills is based on the creative transformation of intonation ideas and their representation in practical activities, the features of sound production and is associated with the formation of the need for one’s own interpretative activity within the framework of performing and instrumental training.

The article is dedicated to exploring the principles of voice development in Bertram Beier's teaching methodology in the context of academic vocal training and its historical and musical significance. Vocal art, being one of the oldest art forms, has always played a key role in shaping the global musical culture, and the development of the voice as a vocalist’s instrument is directly linked to the process of professional training. Voice setting, technical mastery, timbre development, and the ability to convey the emotional content of a piece are all essential aspects to which modern academic vocal teachers pay attention.
Beier's methodology is highly relevant in contemporary vocal-pedagogical practice, which has undergone significant changes due to the development of musical and theatrical art and the evolution of concert activity at that time in Germany. One of the key features of Beier's approach is his in-depth focus on breathing techniques, with special attention given to the diaphragm's role as the main controller of airflow. This ensures stable support during singing, minimizing tension and fatigue in the vocal apparatus. Beier's proposed breathing technique requires precise air distribution and emphasizes its efficient use, contributing to a natural sound and preventing excessive strain on the vocal cords. This highlights the importance of developing correct breathing habits from the early stages of training. Additionally, Beier focused heavily on working with resonators, which enhance sound and provide brightness without extra effort. This also promotes evenness of sound across all vocal registers. His method involves detailed work on combining resonators with breathing techniques, allowing for flexibility and freedom in performance. A significant innovation in his methodology is the approach to relieving muscle tension, which ensures ease and effortlessness during the performance of complex vocal parts.
Beier's approaches to voice training can be considered innovative, as he emphasized naturalness and organic singing, which contrasted with traditional classical methods where voice work was often mechanical. This approach, based on the performer’s physiological characteristics, laid the foundation for modern vocal pedagogy, which aims to individualize the learning process.
The article compares Beier's methodological approaches with other well-known vocal-pedagogical systems, allowing for a deeper understanding of his influence on the modern vocal school and the new challenges facing today's vocal teachers in seeking the most effective methods for developing their students' singing technique.
Sartre and Deleuze on Otherness1
Authors: Jampol-Petzinger Andrew M.
Published: January 2025

This paper gives an account of Gilles Deleuze's and Jean-Paul Sartre's respective conceptions of “the Other” as this concept evolves in relation to Sartre's earliest insights into self/Other dynamics in his 1937 essay, The Transcendence of the Ego. By reading Deleuze through his early interlocutor—the philosopher and author Michel Tournier—I argue that the account of Otherness presented in Deleuze's early (and later disavowed) “Sartrean” works represents a critique of Sartre's own revisions to the concept of Otherness in his 1943 magnum opus, Being and Nothingness. Thus, we can read Sartre and Deleuze as offering competing views of how (and indeed if it is possible) to inherit Sartre's own early insights into the value of existential phenomenology for a “positive” account of interpersonal relationships.
Les Mandarins: What can Literature do?
Authors: Albuquerque Juliana de
Published: January 2025

In this essay I shall consider the different perspectives adopted by the characters in Simone de Beauvoir's Les Mandarins on literature, its relation to politics and the role of the writer in society. Far from being outdated, the questions of whether literature should be politically committed and to what extent works of literature can be said to effect social change are still central to our attempts to navigate contemporary culture. Addressing these questions in Les Mandarins, I argue that Beauvoir's work remains topical and offers important insights into the role of the writer and the place of literature in Western culture.

The article aims to study the features of subjective and objective career success in the context of psychological readiness for a professional career in the context of the creative industries. In order to achieve this goal, the following tasks were formulated: to study the levels of development of subjective and objective career success of employees in the creative industries; to analyze the relationship between the levels of development of subjective and objective career success of employees in the creative industries with micro-level factors (characteristics of specialists); meso-factors (characteristics of organizations) and macro-factors (war factors) on the level of assessment of subjective and objective career success by employees in the creative industries.

In general, the article describes the levels of assessment of various dimensions of career success by employees. The author shows a link between micro-level factors (organizational, psychological, and socio-demographic) and meso-level factors (in particular, the direction of the organization's activities). In addition, a positive correlation between macro-level factors such as job loss during the war and subjective career success is described. The influence of the meso-factor (the sphere of activity of employees in the organization) on various dimensions of career success is proved. It is also found that subjective career success is most closely related to operational and personal components. Prospects for further research include synthesizing the previously analyzed data and previous empirical studies of employees' psychological readiness for a professional career.
ETHICAL ASPECTS OF USING PSYCHOLOGICAL EXPERTISE METHODS

Published: January 2025

Psychological evaluation is the first and very important stage of the work of a practical psychologist. Studies have demonstrated the benefits of psychodiagnostic assessment both directly on psychosocial outcomes and on the therapeutic process of psychological counseling (eg, client engagement, therapeutic alliance, compliance, etc.). People often experience an improvement in mood following a psychodiagnostic session with a psychologist, with repeat measurement showing reductions in anxiety and depression, potentially due to the benefits of emotional expression and measurement, as well as client contact. Under such conditions, the role of ethical principles of psychological examination is actualized. The purpose of this article is to define the key ethical aspects in psychological diagnosis and examination. Psychological testing is used in a variety of situations, making it one of the most exciting applications of psychology today. The research found that whether it's for employee selection or trying to determine whether a person is fit to stand trial, psychological testing raises many legal and ethical issues, including privacy and fairness. In Ukraine, the code of ethics in psychodiagnostics is not as widespread as, for example, in the USA. In the United States, laws on the certification or licensing of psychologists have been adopted to address the question of the qualifications of a psychologist who can conduct testing. Most states have the following requirements for specialists: a doctoral degree in psychology, experience working under the guidance of a mentor, and satisfactory completion of a qualifying examination. In Ukraine, ethical standards are different in different professional psychological communities, and efforts are still needed to create a single ethical narrative that would be used both in psychological diagnosis and in psychological counseling. Prospects for further research are the determination of the specifics of ethical codes of psychologists working in the field of psychological expertise in Ukraine.
METHODS FOR STUDYING COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS IN SALES
Authors:   ВНЗ "Університет економіки та права "КРОК", Лупаненко Олександр
Published: January 2025

This article is dedicated to the study of methods for analyzing psychological systems and their interrelation with cognitive distortions. The focus is on the examination of integrated commercial systems [5, 2017], which encompass psychological, behavioral, and cognitive aspects influencing decision-making processes in sales. The relationship between the psychology of integrated commercial systems and sales psychology is analyzed, revealing the key mechanisms through which cognitive distortions impact the subsystems of these systems. Special attention is given to the necessity of analyzing cognitive distortion data integration to enhance forecasting accuracy and develop innovative methods for optimizing processes within sales systems.

The psychology of the integrated commercial system [4, 2023] structurally encompasses three primary subsystems: sales psychology, purchasing psychology, and product psychology. The article emphasizes the importance of analyzing each subsystem individually to gain deeper insights into their characteristics and roles in shaping effective customer interaction strategies. It was found that existing decision-making analysis methods, despite their prevalence, exhibit several theoretical limitations, complicating their adaptation to practical needs.

The feasibility of a cognitive distortion ranking method for purchasing decisions is substantiated, highlighting the influence of these subsystems as independent research domains. This approach provides detailed insights into the psychological mechanisms affecting decision-making within each context.
THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF ‘DENTAL ANXIETY’ AND SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF ITS OCCURRENCE
Authors:   ВНЗ "Університет економіки та права "КРОК", Наумець Микола
Published: January 2025

Dental care ranks second globally after therapeutic care in terms of the number of visits. At the same time, this area of healthcare services is highly competitive, which makes it imperative to improve the quality of dental care in line with the requirements of aesthetics and painlessness of medical procedures, as patients prefer those dental facilities and doctors in which they feel more comfortable and with whom they receive better medical care. Among the factors that improve the quality of dental treatment, the role of the psychological component, in particular, the peculiarities of the emotional sphere of the individual, is increasingly emphasised. The article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the concept of ‘dental anxiety’ and the construction of a theoretical model of the socio-psychological factors of its occurrence. The definitions of the concepts of ‘dental anxiety’, ‘dental fear’ and ‘dentophobia’ are considered. Their common and distinctive characteristics are analysed. An author's model of socio-psychological factors of the occurrence of dental anxiety was developed, which includes three groups/ Firstly, intrapersonal factors (relating directly to the individual), which include individual and personal characteristics, lifestyle factors, socio-demographic and professional factors. Secondly, interpersonal factors (relating to the individual in the context of his or her interaction with the environment), which include factors related to previous experience of receiving dental services, the patient or his or her immediate environment, the presence or absence of support from family or friends, and the need to undergo a painful, lengthy and expensive treatment process. Thirdly, extra-personal factors (related to the society in which the individual functions), which include factors related to the dentist, factors related to the clinic where dental services are provided, factors related to the war in the country.
Genetic and Phyto-Morphological Diversity Analysis in the advanced breeding lines of Chickpea for Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera) Resistance Traits

Published: January 2025

The pod borer Helicoverpa armigera is a major constraint to chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) production worldwide, affecting the crop most severely during pod formation stage leading to reduced crop yield up to approximately 90% - 95 %. The objective of the current study is to find characteristics associated with resistance to pod borer infestation by analysing several morphological and phytochemical attributes in 200 advance breeding lines of chickpea and four checks. ANOVA elucidated the presence of significant difference among genotypes for all quantitative as well as qualitative traits. Traits such as the number of pods per plant, plant height, total antioxidant activity, and presence of trichomes were identified as key contributors to resistance. Cluster analysis based on Euclidean Distance revealed the categorization of genotypes into distinct groups based on their traits, allowing breeders to focus on specific groups for targeted breeding efforts. The study also emphasised the significance of phytochemical features in improving resistance to pod borer, such as trichome density, flavonoid concentration, and tannin content. Overall, this study concludes that exploring the wild progenitors and advanced progeny will help in increasing the diversity among cultivated chickpeas and help in developing resistant varieties in future.

The seeds of any crop variety maintain vigor and viability to a certain period, i.e., seed longevity, also known as aging resistance and storability, which is genetically controlled and influenced by the storage environment. The study enabled the categorization of 33 cultivars of finger millet with different potentials of seed storability, seedling growth and vigor traits at different periods of natural seed aging under ambient storage conditions. The genotypic (G) differences among the cultivars for seed viability and vigor traits at eight durations of the aging period (E) were significant for all the traits. The response of genotypes to the aging period differed significantly as revealed by the genotype (G) x aging period (E) interaction. The seed germination and emergence were reduced gradually after two years of storage. The majority (88%) of cultivars maintained the standard seed germination (75%) until two years (E4) of aging. After three years (E6), 21 cultivars maintained seed viability above the standard germination (75%). Extending the aging period to three and half years (E7) further reduced to eight cultivars with >75% seed viability. At the end of the four years (E8), only four cultivars could retain seed viability to the standard (75%), i.e., G14 (86%), G26 (81%), G12 (79%) and G22 (75%) indicating seed aging resistance to maintain desired seed longevity for four years. The outcome enables the plant breeders and seed industry personnel to plan the seed storage and production programs of different seed classes in the generation system of finger millet. Further, the information also provides clues for planning the seed conservation and regeneration programs of finger millet in gene banks and active germplasm sites.

Tocopherol (vitamin E) is considered an important vitamin carrying antioxidant properties. It plays a vital role in maintaining the quality and stability of oil in Brassica species. Molecular mechanisms of tocopherol content have been studied in Brassicas; however, it is untapped in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea). In the experiment, the expression profile and sequence variation of the candidate gene VTE4 controlling α-tocopherol content (ATC) were studied between two diverse parents (RLC-3 and NPJ-203) of B. juncea. The VTE4 gene expression in different tissues was almost double in NPJ-203 (high ATC genotype) as compared to RLC-3 (low ATC genotype). Moreover, sequence analysis of VTE4 in NPJ-203 and RLC-3 revealed the presence of two SNPs in the 6th exon, resulting in a shorter coding sequence (CDS) in RLC-3 (996 bp) as compared to NPJ-203 (1044 bp). Using these SNPs, an allele-specific marker was developed and validated in the F3 population. The single marker analysis revealed that the marker was significantly linked to the tocopherol content, contributing 16.46% to the total phenotypic variance. Thus, the study suggested that VTE4 is the major gene contributing to the tocopherol content, and the developed marker can be effectively used in marker-assisted breeding to improve tocopherol content in B. juncea.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple cereal crop contributing to global food security. The increasing demand for maize in food and feedindustries necessitates enhancing the yield by utilizing diverse inbred lines with multiple stress tolerance. Forty inbred lines, including 30tropical and 10 temperate lines, were crossed with two diverse testers, CML 286 and CML 451, during kharif 2021 for heterotic groupingof post-flowering stalk rot (PFSR) resistant lines with high yield potential. The heterotic group-specific and general combining ability(HSGCA) method classified them into three groups viz., A of CML 286 with 19 lines, B of CML 451 with 13 lines and an undeterminedgroup with eight lines. Six lines of group A (five tropical lines PFSR 393, PFSR 204, GP 327, PFSR 145, GP 82 and one temperate line GP329) and five lines of group B (three tropical lines GP 36, GP 69, GP 86 and two temperate lines GP 83, GP 107) with highly significantHSGCA effects were crossed to produce 30 single cross hybrids during Rabi 2021-22. Screening of these 11 inbred lines from bothgroups A & B identified two diverse inbred lines viz., tropical GP 36 and temperate GP 83 with PSFR resistance, which can be used aspotential donors. The general combining ability (GCA) effects identified three tropical inbred lines, PFSR 145, PSFR 393, GP 36 and onetemperate inbred GP 107 line, as good general combiners for early maturity and two temperate inbred lines, GP 329 and GP 107, asbest general combiners for grain yield with moderate PFSR resistance demonstrating the potential of temperate and tropical maizelines for increased yield and PFSR resistance.

Breeders effectuate trials to evaluate the performance of the germplasm lines or advanced breeding lines across multiple locations and years to recognize the promising line(s) for commercial cultivation across farmers’ fields. The majority of the theories state that cultivars’ multiple-year data from a specified location has a higher predictive ability of their future performance than single-year data. To verify this hypothesis, we predicted the cultivars’ present performance based on their previous 1- (2020), 2- (2020, 2019), 3- (2020, 2019 and 2018) and 4- (2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017) years’ grain yield performance of 77 commercially released finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) varieties for cultivation across various cropping zones in India using (best linear unbiased predictors) BLUP and yield relative to environment maximum (YREM). The results indicated that single-year grain yield data had a reduced ability to recognize superior finger millet varieties. Further inclusion of multiple (4 and 3 years) year grain yield data seemed to predict better than singleyear grain yield data. The coefficient of determination of 5-year BLUP and YREM with maximum and minimum yearly BLUP and YREM could be used as a yardstick to accept and reject the cultivars, respectively. The varieties VL 204, RAU 8, ML365, RAU 3, VR 708 and L5 depicted high YREM and BLUP estimates with high mean grain yield and, therefore, they can be adapted to Karnataka state and can be recommended to the farmers for cultivation.
Hrvatski crkvenoslavenski prijevod bule pape Bonifacija IX. Superni benignitas Conditoris
Authors: Mihaljević Milan

U radu se analizira crkvenoslavenski prijevod bule koju je papa Bonifacije IX. izdao 1389. godine povodom blagdana Pohođenja Blažene Djevice Marije. Danas je poznato 15 prijepisa toga prijevoda iz zlatnoga razdoblja hrvatskoga glagoljaštva (od 14. do 16. stoljeća). Tekst je sastavni dio brevijarske službe i čita se u osmini blagdana Pohođenja Blažene Djevice Marije. Usporedili smo tekst svih prijepisa, popisali razlike među njima i utvrdili da je u svima riječ o istome prijevodu. Hrvatskoglagoljični je tekst uspoređen i s latinskim tekstom, pri čemu je posebna pozornost posvećena odstupanjima od latinskoga izvornika. Taj je prijevod zanimljiv jer pokazuje da su hrvatski glagoljaši gotovo bez ikakva vremenskoga zaostatka za latinskim brevijarima u svoje liturgijske knjige unosili i najnovije službe. Najstariji je prijepis toga teksta iz Prvoga beramskog brevijara s kraja 14. ili početka 15. stoljeća. Ostali su prijepisi iz druge polovice 15. stoljeća. Ako pisac Prvoga beramskog brevijara nije sam prevodio tekst, nego ga je prepisao sa starijega glagoljičnog predloška, na što upućuje nekoliko pogrešaka, to znači da je tekst preveden vrlo brzo nakon što je bula bila izdana.
Glagoljične knjige osorskoga arhiđakona Mateja Sovića († 1774.) koje se spominju u Sovićevoj prepisci s Albertom Fortisom

U Nacionalnoj i sveučilišnoj knjižnici u Zagrebu čuvaju se prijepisi dijela sačuvane korespondencije između osorskoga arhiđakona, glagoljaša Mateja Sovića († 1774.) i talijanskoga prirodoslovca i putopisca, opata Alberta Fortisa († 1803.), dok se originali čuvaju u Narodnoj i univerzitetskoj biblioteci u Ljubljani. Korespondencija otkriva da je Sović posjedovao tri nelatinična kodeksa i nekoliko starih tiskanih knjiga na glagoljici. Isto tako otkriva da su vodili raspravu o Psaltiru Nikole Rabljanina koji je po vjerovanju mnogih bio najstarija knjiga napisana na staroslavenskome jeziku i glagoljici.Prvi kodeks Sović opisuje kao »zadimljeni« (affumicato), datira iz sredine 15. stoljeća i sadržava različite biblijske, apokrifne, hagiografske, legendarne i druge prozne tekstove. Danas je poznat kao Oksfordski zbornik pod signaturom MS. Canon. Liturg. 414. Drugi predstavlja kao »rukopis na pučkome jeziku« (manoscritto volgare) iz 1445. godine, a riječ je o prijevodu srednjovjekovnoga latinskog djela Speculum humanae salvationis prevedenu na hrvatski crkvenoslavenski pod nazivom Zrcalo človečaskago spasenja. Danas se čuva u Vatikanskoj apostolskoj knjižnici pod signaturom Borg. Ill. 9. Treći kodeks Sović naziva Codice Bosnese. Taj je kodeks u literaturi poznat kao Zbornik krstjanina Radosava, a napisan je u doba bosanskoga kralja Stjepana Tomaša ćiriličnim pismom te se također čuva u Vatikanskoj apostolskoj knjižnici, pod signaturom Borg. Ill. 12.Sovićeva korespondencija otkriva njegov interes i ljubav prema crkvenoslavenskomu jeziku i njegovoj baštini te neke od njegovih znanstvenih zabluda o nastanku glagoljice i razvoju slavenskih jezika.
Glagoljica u javnome životu i kulturi na otocima Cresu i Lošinju
Authors: Bozanić Anton
Published: January 2025

U istraživanju povijesti glagoljične pismenosti na Cresu i Lošinju, koja seže barem do 11. stoljeća (Valunska ploča), glagoljica je bila u neprestanoj uporabi sve do druge polovice 18. stoljeća, unatoč uporabi latinskoga kao bogoslužnoga jezika u središtu biskupije Osoru, tj. osorskoj katedrali. Glagoljicom se široko koristilo u svim okolnim mjestima te je ona oblikovala javni život i kulturu otočnoga stanovništva. Najveća otočna naselja Mali Lošinj i Veli Lošinj čuvaju mnoge glagoljične rukopise, uključujući matične knjige pisane na hrvatskome jeziku i glagoljici do druge polovice 18. stoljeća, kad je mletačka vlast naložila promjenu u administrativnim poslovima. Ograničavanje uporabe glagoljice državna vlast započela je 1611. godine zabranom daljnje uporabe glagoljice u knjigama crkvenih bratovština. U radu je stavljen poseban naglasak na hrvatskoglagoljični notarijat koji je, kao javna institucija, bio ravnopravan latinsku i talijansku notarijatu urbanih sredina. Na Lošinju je djelovalo najmanje petnaest notara koji su pisali hrvatskim jezikom i glagoljičnim pismom, a sačuvani su protokoli samo dvojice iz Veloga Lošinja. Riječ je o spisima koji su objavljeni pod naslovom Glagoljski lošinjski protokoli notara Mikule Krstinića i Ivana Božićevića (1564 – 1636), a obuhvaćaju 642 dokumenta koji pružaju uvid u različite aspekte života i gospodarstva, osvjetljavaju povijesne događaje s otoka te razjašnjavaju izvorne hrvatske nazive lošinjskih naselja doprinoseći u konačnici razumijevanju izvornoga hrvatskog nasljeđa i identiteta otočana.

This study fills a gap in the long-term prediction of changes in parameters of the Elbrus glaciers, using the GloGEMflow-debris model to simulate the glacier evolution. The part 1 provides a detailed description of the model architecture. The model consists of three blocks in which the calculation of the surface mass balance, glacier flow and moraine transformation is carried out. The area and thickness of the moraine cover increase as glaciers degrade. This is important to consider, as a thicker layer of moraine reduces the ice melting. For predictive calculations, the data on temperature and precipitation for five SSP climate scenarios are taken from the CMIP6 project. A temperature index method is used to calculate the surface mass balance, taking into account the influence of the moraine cover: the ablation of pure ice is adjusted in accordance with the area and thickness of the moraine cover. The ice flow block is used to update the geometry of glaciers and moraine cover. The adaptation of the model to the glaciers of Elbrus includes the adjustment of the block of the moraine cover evolution, which corresponds to the geological features of the region. Thus, the accumulation of moraine on the glaciers of the volcanic peak through erosion of slopes and landslides can be neglected, it is considered to be the bottom moraine, thrown up along the shear planes, the main source of surface moraine on the glaciers of Elbrus. Hence, the debris-cover source in the model is specified to be the result of bedrock erosion rather than slope erosion. The paper discusses calibration processes that allow using simple modeling methods, such as the temperature index method for calculating the surface mass balance, and to simulate the real behavior of glaciers. Despite the fact that the validation of the model revealed a slight underestimation of mass loss at the beginning of the XXI century, the general patterns of mass loss are reproduced correctly, although the energy balance has not been explicitly described. Thus, the adjustment of the model ensures its adaptation to the glaciation conditions on Elbrus.
