Authors: Gaitanidou Evangelia , Loukea Matina , Alertas Ioannis , Spanidis Pavlos , Bekiaris Evangelos
Published: March 2023

Automated vehicles are rapidly invading our everyday mobility reality. Systems of lower automation levels are already installed in many private cars’ models – some also at more advanced levels – while automated shuttles are in operation in several cities across Europe and beyond. Moreover, automation is also becoming a reality in several rail and maritime operations, along with drones’ applications. In this context, a crucial parameter for the success of such applications is the acceptance of users, either as passengers, drivers or operators of these vehicles, or as stakeholders in a decision-making position for the deployment of such vehicles. To achieve this, training is essential in order to make users accustomed to the new functionalities and operation modes, while making them aware of the benefits and gains resulting from the introduction of such technologies. Drive2theFuture Horizon 2020 project aims to prepare “drivers”, travelers and vehicle operators of the future to accept and use connected, cooperative and automated transport modes and the industry of these technologies to understand and meet their needs and wants. Among its other activities, an e-learning tool has been developed, including courses for all transport modes and for different user groups, with the aim to train the future users of automated mobility means. The tool is structured in a way that the user or the trainer can choose the desired course or group of courses and form a training session customized to their needs and purposes. Different means of visualization are offered, including texts, pictures, real life and simulator videos, etc. Moreover, quiz feature is included, to assess the user’s acquired knowledge after completing each course. The tool has been used and assessed in six pilot sites across Europe (Italy, Austria, Belgium, Germany and Denmark) addressing road, rail, maritime and air mobility. The contents of the training courses include Human Machine Interface (HMI), general knowledge on transport automation, conspicuity issues, in-vehicle and remote operation, safety and security issues and many more; moreover, they address not only private vehicle users but also operators of bus, train, vessel as well as drones. In this paper the development of the Drive2theFuture e-learning tool will be presented.

Published: March 2023

Transportation is essential for economic and social development, and vehicle flow data can be used for safety monitoring, pollution analysis, and traffic flow management. Unfortunately, traffic management and control centres do not always comply with codified standards, making it difficult to obtain up-to-date data. This paper analyses open traffic datasets and Italian public traffic data sources available online, providing a knowledge base for transportation managers and researchers. Open traffic datasets are dimensionality-reduced and clustered. An event with 209,135 visitors is used to benchmark the public data sources, the time series of traffic flows are decomposed and a regression tree is used to identify different periods. The results suggest that the available Italian sensor grid is not fine enough to identify all incoming and outgoing traffic, more infrastructure investments are required or the available measurements should be coupled with other evaluation approaches capable of extending the punctual data through mathematical means.

Published: March 2023

This paper mainly introduces a set of high-speed railway earthquake early warning test system based on LabVIEW, which serves for the indoor prototype test of high-speed railway earthquake early-warning system, which is used to simulate wave generation instead of seismic sensors. From the perspective of indoor prototype simulation, a high-speed railway earthquake early warning (EEW) test system based on virtual instrument (VI) technology is developed. Through the test system, seismic wave and non-seismic interference wave are simulated, generated and sent, so as to carry out test technology research on the current high-speed railway EEW system in China. Based on the virtual instrument development platform LabVIEW, the high-speed railway earthquake warning test system is developed. The function of the test system is verified by an example, and the consistency between the original waveform and the acquisition waveform is analyzed. The results show that the amplitude accuracy of the test system is 0.005 ± 0.002 gal and the acceleration peak time is no difference, that is, the high-speed railway EEW test system based on VI technology is accurate and reliable.

Published: March 2023

The use of the powered micro-mobility devices has increased significantly around the world, especially with the development of the new electric transportation system. In this research, a questionnaire survey was conducted to provide policymakers with guidelines to encourage users to use micro-vehicles. The survey explores the usage patterns of micro-mobility vehicles in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, focusing on the types of infrastructure used and the frequency of usage. The research aims to determine what factors would encourage users to use their devices more frequently, with a focus on safety and convenience. According to the survey results, the vast majority of micro-mobility users in Abu Dhabi are currently riding on off-road paths shared with pedestrians, with only slight variations among different micro-mobility types. It was also found that the most common type of infrastructure used was off-road shared tracks with pedestrians, followed by off-road sign-posted tracks shared with pedestrians. There has been a variation in the usage frequencies of the different infrastructural facilities for micro-mobility ridership. However, the usage frequency of micro-vehicles on-road and off-road signposted lanes is almost the same across all the survey locations in Abu Dhabi. The findings of this paper can be used by policymakers to improve micro-mobility and make them more accessible to people.
Simulation Analysis of Slug Dispersion Process During Bypass Pigging Process in Vertical Riser
Authors: Liu Yunti , Zhu Xiaoxiao , Wu Haoyue , Wang Yutao , Zhang Shimin
Published: March 2023

In offshore riser systems, the slug flow can aggravate the instability of pipeline system during pigging processes, resulting in problems, such as increased pressure fluctuations and the excessive load of the slug catcher over a short period. Bypass pig can disperse the slug due to the highly velocity passing through the bypass hole, thus mitigating the impact of the slug flow on the pigging process. This paper established a two-dimensional CFD model to study the effect of different bypass rates and inlet gas velocities on the downstream slug dispersion process in vertical riser. The results showed that increasing the bypass rate and inlet gas velocity can improve the dissipation effect of the bypass pig to the slug, but it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pigging efficiency and the changes of outlet fluid mass flow and liquid holdup. The research results can contribute to preventing pigging accidents as well as determining the pigging technology parameters during pigging processes in marine pipelines.

BACKGROUND:

Magnesium (Mg) enhances the bone regeneration, mineralization and attachment at the tissue/biomaterial interface.

OBJECTIVE:

In this study, the effect of Mg on mineralization/osseointegration was determined using (Ti,Mg)N thin film coated Ti6Al4V based plates and screws in vivo.

METHODS:

TiN and (Ti,Mg)N coated Ti6Al4V plates and screws were prepared using arc-PVD technique and used to fix rabbit femur fractures for 6 weeks. Then, mineralization/osseointegration was assessed by surface analysis including cell attachment, mineralization, and hydroxyapatite deposition on concave and convex sides of the plates along with the attachment between the screw and the bone.

RESULTS:

According to Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analyses; cell attachment and mineralization were higher on the concave sides of the plates from both groups in comparison to the convex sides. However, mineralization was significantly higher on Mg-containing ones. The mean gray value indicating mineralized area after von Kossa staining was found as 0.48 ± 0.01 and 0.41 ± 0.04 on Mg containing and free ones respectively. Similarly, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses showed that hydroxyapatite growth was abundant on the Mg-containing and concave sides of the plates. Enhanced mineralization and strong attachment to bone were also detected in EDS and SEM analyses of Mg-containing screws.

CONCLUSION:

These findings indicated that (Ti,Mg)N coatings can be used to increase attachment at the implant tissue interface due to accelerated mineralization, cell attachment, and hydroxyapatite growth.

IMPACT OF PAK-IMF BAILOUT ARRANGEMENT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Sarfraz Zahida
Published: March 2023

Government of Pakistan has been facing various macro-economic challenges due to internal and external factors. Pak economy suffers from monetary, fiscal and BOP crisis after every few years building up a near crisis scenario which needs to be managed through traditional stabilization policies most common among them is approaching to IMF. Pakistan’s policy of dependence on internal and external loans is not new and the cost of these crisis management plans has a strong reason behind slowing down socio-economic development.

The recent economic crisis has approached after facing a significantly harsh macroeconomic imbalance during 2000-2016 while Pakistan was under an IMF Program. To bridge up the gaps in import- export, making up declining foreign reserves, satisfying FATF and support the BOP imbalance, Government was left with no alternative except to have a bailout package with IMF embracing all the attached harsh conditions.

 During the recent past Pakistan failed to enhance its portfolio, put a gauge on unnecessary and luxury exports at higher rates, a weak tax system where tax evasions increases fiscal deficit, lavish exemption and reductions in tax rates rising inflations, expanding unemployment and a weaker industrial base make Pakistan stand on the verge of serious dip. All this has a trickle down impact to the poor masses due to weaker economic policies and deepening corruption in Pakistan. These are the ideal ecological factors which held the IMF plant grow greener and healthier. The present bailout program has a list of policies to correct domestic and external factors and strengthen the economy of Pakistan as it has been doing in many other countered. This paper is an attempt to cover the impacts of previous program and of the recent one on the economy of Pakistan.

Werner Sombart’s Longue Durée
Authors: Graça João Carlos
Published: March 2023

The work of Werner Sombart is often overlooked in the academic traditions of economics and sociology. It nevertheless deserves an attentive consideration, and a reassessment, concerning a number of important aspects: the recognition of the category of capitalism; the relations of capitalism with war and luxury; the importance of religious factors in the emergence of modern capitalism; the dual nature of the modern economic mind, opposing burgher and entrepreneurial mentalities; the long term perspectives of capitalism’s evolution; the specificities of US political trajectory. Regarding all these aspects, a critical reading of Sombart’s work may prove rather productive.
Examining the Czech Presidency’s Role in the Convergence of the EU’s Energy-Climate Agenda
Authors: Surwillo Izabela
Published: March 2023

The Czech presidency of the Council of the EU faced a challenging term, commencing just months after Russia invaded Ukraine. Its priorities were to maintain the unity of the European bloc against Moscow, manage the energy crisis, and adhere to the ambitious climate agenda. During its term, the Czech presidency significantly improved the EU՚s energy security by promoting energy solidarity, cooperation, and reaching key agreements on issues such as the windfall tax or reduction of gas demand. Although the climate policy remained in sight, the revisions of the Renewable Energy Directive and Energy Efficiency Directive not only lacked momentum and important commitments, such as an agreement on reducing energy demand, but also strong compulsory measures. Despite the Czech presidency’s prioritization of security of supply over ambitious climate goals, its overall successful performance in both areas has contributed to aligning energy and climate policies between Western and Eastern Europe in the long term.

Dragon fruit is a typical crop being grown commercially in tropical areas, especially in Viet Nam. Dragon fruit seeds are the waste type disposed of in beverage processing due to difficulties in seed separation and the presence of seed mucilage. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of enzymatic treatment on seed mucilage degradation as well as the impacts of air-drying temperature on quality attributes of red-flesh (Hylocereus polyrhizus) dragon fruit seeds. The maximum mucilaginous layer degradation by commercial pectinase preparation (Pectinex® Ultra SP-L) was 84.9% when the seed:water ratio, enzyme concentration, and treatment time were 1:0 (w/w), 10 U/g seed, and 75 min, respectively. The increase in the drying temperature from 50°C to 70°C decreased the drying time by 61.9% but increased the total phenolic content of dehydrated seeds by 20.7%. Further increase in drying temperature from 70°C to 90°C reduced drying time and total phenolic content by 75% and 9.5%, respectively. Seeds dried at 70°C for 8 h indicated the highest retention of the total phenolic content (588±11 mg GAE/100g dry matter) and antioxidant activity (DPPH free radical scavenging activity: 9000±59 µmol TE/100g dry matter). Dragon fruit dried seeds were considered a valuable source of nutrients and antioxidants that can be further used in formulation of different food products.

Authors: Muzalfitri Eka
Published: March 2023

This study aims to analyze the effect of work climate and leadership on team performance through creative thinking as a moderating variable. It used quantitative research analysis by taking a total sample of 408 respondents using probability sampling in terms of a simple random sampling technique with a population of 1,000 respondents as permanent foundation lecturers at private colleges in the Province of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. The analysis technique used is inferential and descriptive statistics using the concept of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) assisted by software such as the WarpPLS and SmartPLS programs. The results of this study show that work climate has a negative influence on team performance, while leadership has a positive effect on team performance. The role of the moderating variable in the form of creative thinking indirectly strengthens the influence of climate and leadership on team performance. The results of the analysis infer that the work climate and leadership carried out in the private college have positive or negative effects on the team performance of the lecturers. However, it will be stronger if it is accompanied by adaptive and sustainable creative thinking so that the team performance of the lecturers is more highly improved.
Misinformation Sharing and Behavioural Pattern of Nigerians on a Viral Covid-19 Disinformation Video
Authors: Adeniran Raheemat , Oso Lai
Published: March 2023

This study focuses on a COVID-19 disinformation video promoting hydroxychloroquine as a cure, while dismissing other promoted COVID-19 preventive behaviours. It examines the virality of the video among Nigerians, their convictions on claims made, and likely behaviour in the possibility of suspected COVID-19 infection. The study was premised on the “availability cascade effect” which predicts a higher tendency for people to believe viral information, especially when supported by individuals considered experts on the issue being promoted. It adopted the survey research method, using snowball sampling. Data for the study was gathered electronically online from 222 participants who responded to survey. The snowball sampling method was adopted due to movement restrictions in Nigeria occasioned by the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic at the time of data collection. Findings from the study show that over 90 percent of respondents were aware of the video, with many denying further sharing online. Despite multiple fact-checks on different claims in the video, respondents who still believed the claims were found more likely to try-out hydroxychloroquine efficacy as a COVID-19 cure than those who do not. Respondents were however mostly positive on adhering to promoted COVID-19 preventive measures despite the contrary claims in the video. The virality of the video compared to its fact-checks, and sustained belief in its promoted disinformation claims, support the need to stop false information from spreading very early. Hence, there must be sustained efforts to continuously track false and malicious claims in the public space and strive to stop its spread immediately.
Türk Sinemasında Erkekliğin Dönüşümü ve Erkeklik Krizine İlişkin Bir Analiz
Authors: Yılmaz Elanur , Zinderen İbrahim Etem
Published: March 2023

Toplumsal cinsiyet çalışmaları daha çok kadın çalışmalarıyla eş tutulmuş ve bu yüzden alana yönelik incelemeler sınırlı kalmıştır. Fakat ilerleyen dönemlerde erkeğin toplum içerisindeki iktidarını ve konumunu anlamlandırmak/anlamak için erkeklik çalışmaları gelişmeye başlamıştır. Erkeklik çalışmaları, erkek üzerindeki toplumsal baskıyı görünür kılabilmekte ve farklı erkeklik kimliklerinin mümkün olabileceğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Toplumsal olandan etkilenen sinema filmlerinde ise erkek karakterler güçlü ve tahakkümcü özellikleriyle değil, aksine güçsüz ve edilgen olarak yansıtılmakta ve bu durum erkeklik krizi kavramıyla açıklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, erkeklik krizi kavramının Türk sinemasına yansıması incelenmektedir. Türk sinemasında hegemonik erkekliği yansıtan filmlerin 1970’ten günümüze kadar devam edegelen süreçte nasıl şekillenip eril krize dönüştüğü, incelenen filmler üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Erkek karakterlerin yaşadığı eril kriz film analizinde kullanılan başlıklandırma yöntemiyle ortaya çıkarılmış ve erkeklik kimliğinin geçirmiş olduğu değişim, filmlerin karşılaştırılmasıyla anlaşılır kılınmaya çalışılmıştır. Filmlerin incelenmesinde ise tarihsel çözümleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. İncelenen filmler doğrultusunda hegemonik erkeklik olarak kabul edilen özelliklerin dönemsel olarak değiştiği ve böylece yeni bir erkeklik mitinin inşa edildiği; diğer yandan erkeklik krizi kavramının egemen erkeklik modellerindeki dönüşüme işaret ettiği söylenebilir.
Din, Kimlik ve Müzik: Genç Erkeklerin Müzik Dinleme Pratikleri Üzerine Nitel Bir Araştırma
Authors: Çakıcı Zindan
Published: March 2023

Türkiye'deki Sünni dindar kesimin İslam’da müziğin yasaklandığına ilişkin inancı, 1980 sonrasında büyük bir değişime uğramıştır. Bu dönemde, Sünni dindar kesimin söylemlerini müzik dili ve üslubuyla aktarmaya çalışan İslami popüler müzik türü ortaya çıkmıştır. İslami popüler müzik türünün ortaya çıkması ile dini müziklerde birçok müzik aleti kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Literatürde günümüz dindar gençlerin hem İslami popüler müzik ile olan ilişkilerine hem de müzik dinleme pratiklerine dair çok az sayıda çalışmanın yapıldığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışma, müziğe mesafeli yaklaşan Nakşibendi geleneğine mensup genç ve genç yetişkin erkek bireylerin hem İslami popüler müzik ile olan ilişkilerini hem de genel olarak müzik dinleme pratiklerini derinlemesine incelemektedir. Araştırma sonucunda, katılımcıların küresel ölçüde tanınan ve din temalı eserler üreten Maher Zain ve Sami Yusuf gibi sanatçıların yanı sıra halk müziği ve rap türünde üretim yapan sanatçıları dinledikleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca, katılımcıların gündelik hayat içerisindeki müzik ile olan ilişkileri üzerinde dini inançlarının yanı sıra doğdukları şehirlerin, yaşadıkları mekânların, eğitim düzeylerinin ve etnik kökenlerinin etkili olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Katılımcıların, Nakşibendilik geleneğindeki müzik ve sese dair kuralları kısmen takip etmekle birlikte müziği çağa bağlı olarak geniş bir yelpazede ele almaya başladıkları tespit edilmiştir. Fakat katılımcıların kadın sesine ve kadının müzikteki varlığına dair olumsuz yaklaşımlarının devam ettiği saptanmıştır.
Bir İnşa Alanı Olarak Erkeklik Nosyonu ve Erkek Dünyasına İlişkin Kuramsal Bir Yaklaşım
Authors: Boran Mehmet
Published: March 2023

Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri çerçevesinde erkeklik, inşa edilen bir alan olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Erkekliğin inşa süreci, iktidar ilişkilerinin beslendiği kaynakları ve ataerkil sistemin dayandığı zemini açığa çıkarmak bakımından da oldukça önemlidir. Zira eril tahakküm, iktidar konumunu kaybetmemek ve yerini sağlamlaştırmak amacı doğrultusunda egemen erkeklik değerleriyle şekillenen toplumsal ilişkileri ‘ideal düzen’ biçiminde sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın odak noktasını, toplumsal cinsiyet bağlamında ‘erkeklik’ nosyonu, inşa pratikleri, gündelik söylemlerde yeniden üretilen eril iktidar stratejileri oluşturmaktadır ve erkekmerkezli alana dair bir çalışma söz konusudur. Toplumsal cinsiyet olgusuyla ilgili Türkiye’de ‘kadın’ kimliğine yönelik çalışmalar, ‘erkek(lik)’ çalışmaları göz önüne alındığında kuşkusuz daha yoğunluktadır. Dolayısıyla bu açıdan bakıldığında, -yeterince keşfedilmemiş bir alan olan- erkeklik nosyonunu ve eril inşa pratiklerini incelemek daha da ilgi çekici bir hal almaktadır. Bu makalenin kapsamı gereği çalışma, eril alışkanlıklar ve erkeklerin dünyasına ilişkin kuramsal bir yaklaşım ile sınırlı kalmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bu makale eleştirel erkeklik çalışmaları konusunda daha ileri araştırmalara katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır ve erkeklik incelemelerine ilişkin teorik bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.

Stroke is a disturbance of brain function, both local and general, that occurs suddenly, progressively, and rapidly due to non-traumatic brain blood circulation disorders that lasts more than 24 hours or ends in death. Stroke is also one of the deadliest diseases in Indonesia. In this study, stroke data was used to explore new information or knowledge in it. The process of extracting new information from a set of data is known as data mining. Therefore, this research aims to classify data related to stroke using the Naïve Bayes algorithm to find out whether the patient has a stroke or not. There are 10 attributes that are included in the causes of stroke, among others, gender, age, history of hypertension, history of heart disease, marital status, type of work, type of residence, glucose level, body mass index and smoking status. The results showed that classification with the Naïve Bayes algorithm can be applied in classifying stroke data resulting in an accuracy value of 92.48% in the Good Classification category.

The large number of products sold by the Bill Lights Store resulted in a stockpile of several product items due to the large supply of products that were less attractive to customers, resulting in many unsold and under-sold products. Bill Lights struggles with inventory levels of sold and unsold products, as well as shortages and overstocks. Bill Lights stores should rank each product so that they know which products are in the most demand. The purpose of this research is to solve the problem of using inventory information by grouping inventory products based on product characteristics using data mining techniques. The technique used is the K-Means algorithm method. K-Means algorithm clustering method and RapidMiner software processing. The data mining process starts with data processing (selection, cleaning, transformation, data mining and interpretation/evaluation). So if we start with a dataset of 160 products, we get cluster 0 with 88 products classified as sold, cluster 1 with 26 products classified as unsold, and cluster 2 with 46 fewer products classified as sold. The result of using the K-Means method is grouped into three clusters. To enable Bill Lights Store to implement sales and growth strategies based on products that are selling well.
Latinity in Early Islamic North Africa
Authors: Conant Jonathan
Published: March 2023

This paper explores the social function of Latin in the early Islamic Maghrib and the concerns of the local communities who continued to use the language beyond the Arab capture of Carthage in 697/98. By focussing on those Latin sources whose origins can be assigned to North Africa between the end of the seventh and the mid-thirteenth century, it considers evidence for the use of Latin as a language of Christian commemoration, worship, and education; the survival of Latin and then Romance as a spoken language in the medieval Maghrib; the role of Latin as at least a short-lived language of religious disputation between the region’s new Muslim ruling class and their Christian and Jewish subjects; and the use of Latin as a language of trans-Mediterranean communications. The language probably enjoyed a more robust afterlife in Islamic North Africa than scholars have sometimes imagined, yet the way in which Latin was deployed in mediating relationships overseas may ultimately have undermined sustained interest in the region by medieval European Christians.

Due to the corruption scandal in February 2023, related to the procurement by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine of food services for military personnel, the issue of internal control of the sphere of public finances was brought up to date, which makes it necessary to find ways and develop measures to increase its effectiveness and efficiency in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The article aims to outline the conceptual directions of the functioning of internal audit in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, based on the need for its rethinking and further reform. The analysis of the results of the internal audit in the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for the period 2018-2021 was carried out. It was revealed that in 2020-2021 there was a sharp increase in the volume of violations that led to losses and damages (with a reduction in the number of conducted audits); on the other hand, the indicators of prevented losses and damages significantly decreased. Although the current regulatory framework for internal audit in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is quite developed, the vision and strategy for developing internal audit in this area of public administration need updating. A comprehensive vision of internal audit in ensuring the proper functioning and financing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will create a basis for further identifying the vectors of reform in this area to stakeholder requests. Four key components that determine the functional value of internal audit for the proper functioning of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were revealed: strategic (strategy for the development of internal audit ), resource (proper allocation and use of resources), diagnostic (detection and prevention of fraud and abuse), and communication component (effective communication between various units of the defence department). In order to assess the effectiveness of defence spending, it is necessary to carry out an internal audit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine because a high-quality internal audit environment will increase the transparency of financial resource management processes and will give confidence to the main stakeholders who act as donors that their aid is used effectively for its intended purpose.

In order to make management decisions to ensure the sustainable development of the enterprise, appropriate accounting support is required, an important element of which is integrated reporting. Since 2018, medium and large agricultural enterprises in Ukraine have been required to prepare a Management Report. In practice, during the preparation of this report, questions still arise because the information requirements for this element of integrated reporting grow every year. The article aims to analyze the legal regulation of the formation of integrated reporting by agricultural enterprises and identify problems related to the preparation of integrated reporting in Ukraine. The regulatory and legal regulation structure of financial and non-financial indicators of integrated reporting in Ukraine was disclosed. An analysis of indicators that must be disclosed in integrated reporting has been carried out. It has been established that the appearance of a mandatory, independent Management Report in Ukraine results from the implementation of EU Directives. The Management Report is intended to supplement financial reporting with non-financial information that characterizes the state and prospects of the enterprise's development, reflecting its activity's main risks and uncertainties. At present, a precise mechanism for the publication of non-financial statements is not defined by law, and responsibility for the completeness and reliability of the published information in non-financial statements is not provided. At the same time, Ukrainian enterprises are gradually joining the practice of compiling integrated reporting and placing it freely available on their websites. This study will help enterprises better understand the requirements governing the preparation and publication process of integrated reporting, particularly the Management Report.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ЖАНРОВО-ІНТОНАЦІЙНИХ ТА ПОЕТИЧНИХ СИМВОЛІВ У ДРАМАТУРГІЇ ВОКАЛЬНОГО ЦИКЛУ ВАЛЕРІЯ АНТОНЮКА «ТЕПЛІ ПІСНІ НА ВІРШІ ВАЛЕНТИНИ АНТОНЮК»

Мета статті – визначення стильових аспектів інтерпретації поетичного тексту у вокальних циклах В. Антонюка на прикладі циклу «Теплі Пісні на вірші Валентини Антонюк» для голосу з фортепіано. Методологія дослідження має інтегративно-комплексний підхід, що реалізується у поєднанні методів музикознавчого, компаративного, жанрово-стильового та культурологічного аналізу. Наукова новизна статті полягає у тому, що жанр вокального циклу для голосу з фортепіано, яскраво представлений у творчості молодого українського композитора В. Антонюка, вперше став об’єктом музикознавчого аналізу. Висновки. Дослідження вокального циклу для голосу з фортепіано «Теплі Пісні на вірші Валентини Антонюк» крізь призму стильових аспектів інтерпретації поетичного тексту дозволило осмислити неординарність творчої особистості композитора, оцінити багатогранність його таланту та визначити його художні позиції у даній жанровій сфері. Твір В. Антонюка є яскравим прикладом занурення у стан саморефлексії та демонструє філософську глибину внутрішніх переживань особистості. Різноплановий діапазон поетичних образів циклу відбився у специфіці музичної мови, для якої характерна побутова жанровість, опора на декламаційно-пісенну інтонацію, наслідування романтичної стилістики. Разом з тим у драматургії циклу яскраво проступають риси симфонізму, що проявляються у використанні інтонаційного зерна, яке народжується у фортепіанному вступі до першого номеру, та його подальших трансформаціях протягом усього твору. Музичну канву пісень циклу пронизують наскрізні жанрово-інтонаційні символи, що поглиблюють емоційні та смислові відтінки поетичного тексту: це рівномірна акордова пульсація, яка втілює філософський образ часу; секундові інтонації lamento, характерні не тільки для мелодичних мотивів вокальної партії, але і як структурний елемент акордики; використання жанрових моделей для акцентування емоційної глибини (декламація, вокаліз, танцювальна жанровість, дзвони, хоральність тощо). Цикл В. Антонюка «Теплі Пісні на вірші Валентини Антонюк» являє собою яскравий приклад художньо-концептуальної цілісності вищого порядку. Композитор продовжує розвиток жанру вокального циклу в українській музиці, демонструючи свіжий погляд на найяскравіші здобутки камерно-вокальної музики минулих епох.
