Published: February 2022

With RATAN-600 radio telescope we can conduct studies of pulsed radiation of events associated with fast radio bursts(FRB), giant pulses (GP) of pulsars and ﬂare activity of magnetars at high frequencies. Now the telescope has been equippedwith full-power radiometers with the highest possible time resolution and band division at a frequency of 4.7 GHz into fournarrow channels (150 MHz), which needed for detection of pulse shifts due to cosmic dispersion. As the main aim, thesearch for FRB in the blind 24h-surveys of sky regions has been conducted for more than four years on four radiometers(beams). In the sky regions at declinations of 33, 22, 5 and 11 degrees, no FRB with a ﬂux greater than 5 Jy were detected.However, in the Crab Nebula, we registered seven GP from its 33-millisecond pulsar. The maximum pulse was above 100 Jy.Measurements of radio pulses from the X-ray magnetar XTE J1810−197 were carried out from 19 December 2018, when,after ten years on December 8, 2018 a bright X-ray ﬂare occurred and weak radio pulses were detected with a pulsar rotationperiod of 5.54 seconds. Based on the arrival times of pulses in narrow channels, we conﬁrmed the measure of dispersionDM=178 pc/cm 3 . The pulses themselves, with a total duration of about 200 ms, included up to 15 sub-pulses with a widthof 10 to 50 ms with a ﬂux density of up to 5 Jy. During three months XTEJ1809−197 remained the brightest radio pulsarin the Milky Way.
Movilidad urbana socialmente sostenible, un modelo no explorado para las capitales del Triángulo Norte
Authors: Grande Ayala Carlos Ernesto
Published: February 2022

Desarrollar proyectos de transporte masivo no implica solucionar el problema de la movilidad urbana de facto, la movilidad urbana es un problema complejo que tiene sobre la base no solo aspectos técnicos inherentes a la eficiencia de las infraestructuras y las distintas modalidades de transporte, también implica un contexto social y unas variables cualitativas que son de medular importancia en la búsqueda de soluciones para la movilidad urbana sostenible.
Este texto centra su atención en el fenómeno de la movilidad urbana considerándola desde un enfoque socio técnico, por ello se presenta como un modelo de análisis de la movilidad urbana desde la perspectiva de la dimensión social del desarrollo sostenible. El artículo plantea una base teórica que da cuenta de este enfoque, propone unas categorías de análisis y las utiliza como herramienta para analizar y comprender los retos de la movilidad urbana sostenible desde el contexto concreto de las ciudades capitales del Triángulo Norte.
Como metodología se propone el desarrollo de una revisión documental que de manera exploratoria arroje algunos datos proxy sobre la situación de la movilidad urbana en las ciudades capitales del Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras. Se indaga además sobre los hitos de la gestión y construcción de los millonarios proyectos que cada ciudad emprende para apalancar la movilidad sostenible y se ofrece unas primeras conjeturas a la luz del enfoque de sostenibilidad social que intentan esbozar estrategias proyectuales y políticas para afrontar futuras intervenciones.
Como resultado se presenta una síntesis del análisis a la luz de los datos recabados en los temas de accesibilidad, equidad, inclusión y desarrollo del marco institucional para finalizar con una serie líneas de acción concretas para mejorar la movilidad y temas pendientes a profundizar que son pertinentes a la luz de la movilidad urbana socialmente sostenible.

Planificación territorial en Centroamérica en el siglo XXI: avances y limitaciones para la construcción de resiliencia
Authors: Ferrufino Carlos E.
Published: February 2022

Durante las primeras dos décadas del siglo XXI los países centroamericanos han desarrollado un importante esfuerzo de planificación territorial que incluye la elaboración de instrumentos a nivel nacional, subnacional, metropolitano y local. Además, en el marco del proceso de integración regional se han preparado políticas, estrategias y agendas vinculadas a temas como ordenamiento territorial, vivienda, carreteras, desarrollo rural y gestión de riesgos. Todo ello ha sido impulsado en parte por acuerdos internacionales que promueven el desarrollo sostenible, la gestión integral de riesgos y la construcción de resiliencia. Este trabajo explora la manera en la que la planificación territorial en la región ha  limitada o ha contribuido a impulsar la resiliencia a partir del estudio de cinco experiencias emblemáticas de planificación en Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador y Costa Rica. Para ello, se parte de un marco teórico fundamentado en el constructivismo estructural de Bourdieu que permite entender la planificación territorial como un campo de la vida social con agentes, relaciones, reglas y recursos. Además, se revisan diversas miradas en torno al concepto de resiliencia y su vinculación con la sostenibilidad y la vulnerabilidad. El trabajo aplica una estrategia metodológica pluralista y cualitativa a partir de un estudio de casos fundamentado en técnicas de revisión documental y entrevistas a informantes clave. A pesar de los compromisos declarados con el desarrollo sostenible del estudio emergen cuatro tensiones que explican las principales limitaciones de la planificación para construir resiliencia en Centroamérica: la desarticulación de las estrategias de desarrollo económico; la fragilidad de los sistemas de planificación; las dificultades de gestión de los espacios metropolitanos y la limitada participación de los agentes. Dos principios parecen explicar esta dinámica: las disputas por el control del territorio y las luchas por el ejercicio del poder político en el espacio. Todo ello invita a una reflexión más profunda sobre las relaciones entre agentes, el peso de las agendas internacionales y en definitiva la naturaleza conflictiva de la planificación del territorio.

Authors:   , Dube Nontobeko Sibusisile
Published: February 2022

Brief background The Durban University of Technology (DUT) Department of Homoeopathy in collaboration with Lifeline established a clinic in 2004 located in Warwick Junction, Durban, an area classified as being disadvantaged. The Ukuba Nesibindi Homoeopathic Community Clinic (UNHCC) serves as a free primary health care service on the third floor of the Lifeline building in Acorn Road, Warwick Junction, less than one kilometer from the main DUT campus. Aim of the study The study aimed to determine the perceptions of patients after their first Homoeopathic consultation and their satisfaction with service delivery at UNHCC and to assess patients’ knowledge about Homoeopathy. Methodology A quantitative, descriptive, cross sectional study design was used to guide the study. The first 50 new consenting patients were selected using convenience sampling, and answered a self-administered survey questionnaire. The data was analyzed using Excel software and differences between groups were tested using the student t-test. Results The results of the study showed a very high degree of satisfaction with the health care and the service provided. The results also showed that the majority of respondents attended the clinic as a result of the blood pressure drives held by students during the clinic sessions (Monday mornings and afternoons and Thursday afternoons). It is recommended that future studies be of a qualitative nature and with a larger sample size. It is also recommended that the facility be operational on all weekdays which would result in an increase in the patient numbers and would enable further research studies.
Perceptions of professional nurses towards alternative therapies in the Umgungundlovu District, South Africa
Authors:   , Maharaj Loshni
Published: February 2022

INTRODUCTION Globally, the use of alternative therapies by the public as well as healthcare workers has been widely documented. In South Africa, no studies have been done on alternative therapies specifically related to nurses. The vast amount of media attention with regards to alternative therapies related to the positive and negative outcomes has sparked major interest in this topic. The aim of the study was to determine the perceptions of professional nurses at nine hospitals within the uMgungundlovu District, South Africa, towards alternative therapies in a nursing context. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The objectives of the study were to determine the professional nurses’ perceptions as well as knowledge of alternative therapies. The possible barriers in providing alternative therapies in nursing practice was also explored in order to make recommendations to guide professional nurses with regard to alternative therapies in patient care. METHODOLOGY A quantitative exploratory research approach underpinned this study. A survey questionnaire was used to obtain information from professional nurses who had consented to participate. The total population of professional nurses was 1218. A total of 616 questionnaires were distributed to participants at the nine participating hospitals. Three hundred and eighty six (386) questionnaires were returned, which resulted in a 63% response rate. FINDINGS It was evident from the data that professional nurses used various forms of alternative therapies. The results revealed that almost 69% (n=265) used prayer/spiritual healing, followed by 53.9% (n=207) who used nutritional supplements, whilst 51.9% (n=199) used music therapy. Participants rated their satisfaction on the information received regarding alternative therapies in nursing education as follows: prayer/spiritual healing 71.1% (n=271), nutritional supplements 71.7% (n=273), music therapy 57.9% (n=220), massage therapy 46.7% (n=216) and support groups 80.3% (n=306). About two thirds (n=272) felt that alternative therapies was beneficial rather than a threat to patient’s health. However, 60% (n=229) agreed that the use of alternative therapies that were not tested in a scientific manner should be discouraged. More than 80% (n=313) of the sample thought that health professionals should have the ability to advise patients in the clinical setting about the most commonly used alternative therapies. More than half of the sample (n=254) stated that they did encounter patients in the clinical setting who enquired about alternative therapies. Only 39.6% (n=153) stated that they felt confident to advise patients about alternative therapies, whilst 26.7% (n=103) stated that they were unable to do so. As the evidence base for the use of alternative therapies grows, so too does the demand increases for the integration of alternative therapies in nursing education. Nurses being the patient’s advocate need to be well versed regarding the use and safety aspects of alternative therapies.
Case based learning in the undergraduate nursing programme at a University of Technology : a case study
Authors:   , Sinqotho Thembeka Maureen
Published: February 2022

Background The current health care system in South Africa and its diverse settings of health care delivery system require a nurse who can make decisions, think critically, solve problems and work effectively in a team. Traditional nursing education teaching strategies have over the years relied on didactic and often passive approaches to learning. In pursuit of quality, academics and students must be continually engaged in a process of finding opportunities for improving the teaching and learning process. Purpose of the study The purpose of this study was to evaluate the structure and the process in case based learning at the University of Technology. Methodology This study is qualitative in nature, governed by an interpretive paradigm. This is a case study, which enabled the researcher to merge student interview data with records in order to gain insight into the activities and details of case based learning as practised at the University of Technology under study. Most importantly, the case study method was deemed appropriate for the current study, since case-based learning as a pedagogical approach (and a case) cannot be abstracted from its context for the purposes of study. Case based learning is evaluated in its context namely, the undergraduate nursing programme, using the Donabedian framework of structure, process and product. Results The study recorded that students were positive towards case based learning though some identified dynamics of working in groups as demerits of case based learning. The structures that are in place in the programme and the CBL processes are adequate and support CBL. There are however areas that need attention such as the qualification of the programme coordinator, the size of the class-rooms and the service of the computer laboratory. Conclusion The study found that apart from a few minor discrepancies, case based learning is sufficiently implemented, and experienced as invaluable by students, at the University of Technology under study.
A musculoskeletal injury profile of league tennis players in the northern eThekwini region
Authors:   , Benporath Michael Craig
Published: February 2022

Background: Tennis is one of the most popular sports globally with over 75 million players around the world. Most studies have focused on junior or elite level players although the majority of players around the world are presumed to be recreational/non-professional players. To date, limited research is available pertaining to the epidemiology of tennis related musculoskeletal in non-professional league tennis players in South Africa. This study aimed to determine the profile of musculoskeletal injuries amongst league tennis players in the northern eThekwini region. Methods: This was a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study utilizing a self-administered questionnaire, developed specifically for this research utilizing an expert group and pilot study. The questionnaire contained sections on demographics, tennis history, training and nutrition, court surface and equipment as well as a section on tennis related musculoskeletal injuries. Risk factors for injury were first tested using chi square tests in the case of categorical variables, and t-tests in the case of continuous variables. In order to assess the relationship between injury and potential risk factors for injury, a binary logistic regression using backward selection based on likelihood ratios was used. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of the variables remaining in the model at the end were reported. A p value <0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance. Results: Eighty league tennis players responded giving a response rate of 70.16%. The period prevalence, and the point prevalence of tennis related musculoskeletal injury was 68.75% and 36.25% respectively. A predominance of injuries to the upper extremity were recorded (49%) compared to the lower extremity (27.5%) and the back and trunk (23.5%). The elbow was the most common anatomical site of injury (21.4%) followed by the shoulder (19.4%), the lumbar spine (17.3%) and the knee (8.2%). Age was considered to be a risk factor for injury (p=0.049) as older players in the study (49.32 (17.547) years of age) were less likely to contract an injury than younger players (48.38 (13.210) years of age). The likelihood of injury decreased with a higher Body Mass Index (p=0.042). The relationship between consumption of spirit alcohol and injury was significant (p=0.043). Ex-smokers had a higher chance of contracting an injury (p=0.013). It was also found that those who cycled weekly were less likely to contract an injury (p=0.040). Conclusion: The results concur with other studies on recreational/non-professional tennis players and add insight into risk factors predisposing this population to injury. Health care practitioners need to understand the risk factors for injury in this population so that players can be better managed. Using the results of the study, an injury prevention strategy such as a strength and conditioning program, needs to be implemented with the goal to reduce or prevent common injuries in this population of players.

Authors:   , Ruthanam Melishnee
Published: February 2022

Effective learning in environmental education, which is introduced at primary school level in South Africa, has the potential to encourage behavioural modification essential to mitigate current environmental issues. While methods of delivery and teaching resources are important, the educator is considered the greatest determinant of knowledge delivery and retention. Consequently, this study explored the selfhood of teachers of Life Skills influence curriculum delivery and learning in environmental education. A mixed methods intervention approach was employed with participants of one school receiving a teaching intervention and the other school designated as the control. Participants included five Grade 5 public primary school Life Skills educators and Grade 5 learners from the KwaDukuza area. All learners completed an assessment book post intervention which was designed to evaluate environmental knowledge retention. Qualitative findings from pre and post interviews with educators was evaluated by thematic analysis. Parker Palmer’s Theory of Selfhood to analyse the data using key conceptual tools such as ‘we teach who we are’ and ‘identity and integrity’ (Palmer 1997). Shulman’s Theory forms the framework to help understand the knowledge base of the educator which frames teacher education and teaching practice (Shulman 1987). This study offered a nuanced perspective of Environmental Education at primary school level within KZN. The main themes emanating from the qualitative aspect of the study were teaching experiences, years of teaching, contextual challenges which influenced teaching methods and reasons for adopting these methods for environmental education. Despite the similar challenges across both schools, certain educators were able to introduce innovation into their teaching. Those educators displayed a greater passion and intrinsic belief in the subject which manifested in their pedagogic efforts. The quantitative findings of this study indicated that there was no statistical significance when knowledge and understanding was compared between the intervention and control school (p>0.05). It can be concluded that regardless of the method of teaching employed, knowledge and understanding of learners remained similar therefore the greatest determinant of successful environmental education is the teacher. The selfhood and experiences of the teacher played a significant role in ensuring effective environmental education delivery

У статті розглянуто польський досвід дослідження проблематики управління сталим розвитком. Гіпотеза дослідження полягає у розумінні важливості публічного управління задля забезпечення сталого розвитку та визнанні необхідності його вдосконалення завдяки науковим дослідженням. Наукова новизна публікації полягає у виокремленні та систематизації досліджень польських науковців із питання управління сталим розвитком, виявленні рівня їхнього впливу на практику, узагальненні підходів і відкритті для українського читача. Авторами відзначено зростання ролі концепції сталого розвитку у Республіці Польща, що проявляється і в наукових працях. Дослідження польських науковців у 1980-1990-х роках стосувалися переважно вивчення теоретичних основ сталого розвитку і практики впровадження на основі зарубіжного досвіду. Помітним було переважання екологічного напряму досліджень і сприйняття сталого розвитку насамперед із погляду на збереження довкілля для майбутніх поколінь. Пізніше більше уваги стали надавати сталому розвитку бізнесу і зростанню рівня його відповідальності за реалізацію стратегій сталого розвитку. Помітним є і вдосконалення термінології питання: від перекладу поняття «Sustainable development» – «екорозвиток», «збалансований», «зрівноважений», «тривалий розвиток» тощо до «відповідальний розвиток». Використовується і поєднання термінів для відображення стабільності розвитку, його широти і публічності. Серед перепон для сталого розвитку польські науковці виділяють відсутність необхідних ресурсів для забезпечення екологічного розвитку економіки, обмежену суспільну свідомість із питань екологічного розвитку та наголошують на необхідності вдосконалення правового забезпечення розвитку, навчання кадрів, зростання відповідальності бізнесу тощо.

Виокремлено чинники, які визначають рівень згуртованості колективу. Розкрито умови забезпечення сприятливого соціально-психологічного клімату в колективі і шляхи його покращення. Представлено особливості професійної діяльності фахівців ІКТ-сфери. Зазначено, що успішна діяльність компаній у ІКТ-сфері залежить не тільки від кваліфікації фахівців та їх вміння і бажання працювати, але й від вміння ефективно взаємодіяти під час роботи над спільним проєктом. Вказано, що проведення соціально-психологічних тренінгів із командами фахівців ІКТ-сфери може виступати доцільним засобом опанування навичок ефективної групової взаємодії. Розкрито специфіку соціально-психологічного тренінгу, визначено його ключові завдання, форми та методи, а також умови його проведення. Наголошено на тому, що проведення соціально-психологічних тренінгів у професійних командах допомагає зміцнювати неформальні зв’язки між членами команди, створювати довірливі відносини, вирішувати різні проблемні ситуації, підвищувати рівень особистісної відповідальності за прийняття спільних рішень. З урахуванням специфіки професійної діяльності фахівців ІКТ-сфери розроблено та представлено програму соціально- психологічного тренінгу, спрямованого на оптимізацію групової взаємодії. Розкрито завдання тренінгу, умови його проведення, охарактеризовано групи вправ, які використовуються в роботі. Зроблено висновки про те, що представлений соціально-психологічний тренінг для фахівців ІКТ-сфери може виступати одним із дієвих методів покращення комунікації між членами професійних команд, підвищення загального рівня згуртованості, оптимізації соціально-психологічного клімату.
ЦІННІСНІ ОРІЄНТАЦІЇ ЯК СКЛАДНИК ПРОФЕСІЙНОГО ІМІДЖУ МАЙБУТНЬОГО ПЕДАГОГА
Authors: Білозерська Світлана Іванівна
Published: February 2022

У статті акцентовано увагу на ціннісних орієнтаціях як основній складовій частині професійного іміджу майбутнього вчителя, адже стратегія формування професійного іміджу вчителя є нині однією з провідних у вітчизняній освіті, оскільки в його структурі, як і в структурі особистості педагога, цінності займають особливе місце. Доводиться, що в структурі професійного іміджу ціннісні орієнтації постають внутрішнім каркасом всієї його структури. Розкрито сутність поняття професійний імідж, виходячи з аксіологічних позицій. Обґрунтовано важливість аксіологічного підходу у спрямованості педагогічної діяльності на формування системи гуманістичних, соціальних, морально-духовних, професійних та особистісних ціннісних орієнтацій особистості, без якої неможливий особистісний та професійний розвиток майбутнього педагога. Зосереджено увагу на аксіологічних орієнтирах, які дають змогу розкривати особистісний потенціал на основі цінностей та організувати процес конструювання професійного іміджу майбутнього педагога в рамках ціннісних координат, властивих українській освіті та культурі, а також акцентувати на ціннісному компоненті, що включає формування особистісних якостей, відповідних педагогічній діяльності. Розглянуто процес створення іміджу як складної комплексної діяльності, значна частина якої здійснюється в просторі внутрішнього світу людини. Сутність ж педагогічної діяльності полягає в тому, що вона не може бути тільки для себе, її сенс у переході діяльності «для себе» в діяльність для іншого, в залученні іншого до цінностей культури, у сприйнятті іншого як цінності. Природний і усталений механізм формування професійного іміджу дає змогу визначати його як спеціально сформований образ, як результат діяльності когнітивної та афективної сфери майбутнього педагога. Доведено, що імідж аксіологічно орієнтованого майбутнього педагога, його психологічні та візуальні характеристики, які виявляються в педагогічній діяльності, говорять про готовність майбутнього педагога до самоствердження, самоактуалізації, самовизначення.
СТАН НАУКОВОЇ РОЗРОБЛЕНОСТІ ПРОБЛЕМАТИКИ СУЧАСНОЇ ПОЛІЦЕЙСЬКОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ
Authors: Солнцева Христина Володимирівна
Published: February 2022

У статті досліджено історичні етапи розвитку поліцейської науки, проаналізовано основні доктринальні підходи до визначення категорії «поліцейська діяльність», розглянуто основи моделі поліцейської діяльності, зокрема керованої аналітикою, надано авторське визначення зазначеного поняття. Крізь призму зарубіжного досвіду Сполучених Штатів Америки і країн Прибалтики акцентовано увагу на деяких недоліках поліцейської діяльності в Україні, надано конкретні пропозиції щодо вдосконалення діяльності правоохоронної системи країни загалом. Автором проаналізовано новітні зміни у внутрішньому поліцейському законодавстві США, Литви, Латвії та Естонії, відібрано найкращі практики організації та функціонування органів поліції із можливістю подальшої імплементації у вітчизняне законодавство. Доведено, що необхідність реформування українського законодавства зумовлена декількома факторами, найголовнішим із яких є проєвропейська стратегія розвитку держави. До того ж стрімкість розвитку демократичних процесів і суспільних відносин вимагають підвищення ефективності поліцейської діяльності. У роботі автор дійшов таких висновків: у доробках зарубіжних і вітчизняних науковців закріпилися певні моделі поліцейської діяльності. Незважаючи на це, у сучасних умовах чимало правників, науковців-адміністративістів та особисто автор вважають за доцільне перехід поліцейських до моделі управління, керованої аналітикою, під якою слід розуміти одну із сучасних моделей поліцейської діяльності, спрямовану на прогнозування основних ризиків, і таку, що базується на інформаційних ресурсах країни. Аналіз поліцейських систем Литви, Латвії, Естонії і США дозволяє говорити про подібні та відмінні риси поліцейської діяльності в зарубіжних країнах і в Україні. Зокрема, поліцейська система у країнах Прибалтики має свою певну структурованість, ієрархічність, тісну взаємодію поліцейських органів із органами влади. Водночас поліцейська система США характеризується чітким розподілом повноважень між поліцейськими підрозділами і перевагою поліції на місцях (поліція штатів), причому останні зміни у законодавстві країни свідчать про демократизацію поліцейської системи і спрямування її у соціальне русло, що є взірцевим прикладом для України і може стати передумовою для реформування системи поліцейського законодавства.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread rapidly and massively from China to the rest of the world. Many of the hospitalized COVID-19 patients suffered from psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and sleep disturbances, besides physical symptoms. Treatment of the psychiatric symptoms commonly used sedative, hypnotic, and anti-anxiety drugs. However, these drugs have some side effects. As an alternative, non-pharmacological intervention is needed. Some previous studies have shown that progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) can improve anxiety levels and sleep quality in other hospitalized patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of PMR in hospitalized COVID-19 patients who experienced anxiety and sleep disturbances.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review by searching for studies through PubMed and Google Scholar database with a publication time span from 2020 to 2021. Keywords used in the search: [“anxiety” or “sleep quality” or “sleep disturbances” or “COVID-19” or “patients”] and [“progressive muscle relaxation”].

Results: Based on the search result, we found three related articles: two randomized controlled trials and one observational study. The studies examined the effectiveness of PMR to improve anxiety and sleep quality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. In the results of the three studies, PMR was effective in improving anxiety symptoms and sleep quality in COVID-19 patients.

Conclusion: Considering not least of hospitalized COVID-19 patients who experienced anxiety and sleep disturbances, PMR as a non-pharmacological intervention can be implemented, because it is easy to perform and proven effective in reducing anxiety and sleep disturbances.

New Horizons of Visual and Auditory Perception: OST Art in the Context of Sound Experiments of the 1920s
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Voronina O.Yu.
Published: February 2022

This paper discusses unobvious links between the art of the Society of Easel Artists (OST) and the sound experiments of the 1920s. And it is for the first time that this subject is the focus of research. This theme was secondary in the creative practice of the OST artists, but selecting it for research is relevant due to a growing general trend towards the study of marginal phenomena that clearly highlight cultural mechanisms. This paper aims to broaden understanding of the complex nature of the painting of the Society of Easel Artists (OST) by introducing the previously unaccounted and, nevertheless, significant data about the cultural context in which the society functioned. After the revolution, all aspects of sound became very attractive for the implementation of different scientific and artistic intentions. The most significant among them were put in practice by L. Termen, P. Lazarev, A. Avraamov, M. Matyushin, S. Nikritin, and Dz. Vertov. The appeal of the OST painters to the “alien” sphere of sound testified to the paradoxicality of their easel painting and was a way of diversification into other fields of art (e.g. poster art, photography, cinema, etc.) in an attempt to “expand” painting without breaking its traditional form. The simultaneous compound scenes in the paintings of the Society of Easel Artists (OST), which connect different points of view, train the exceptional ability of our consciousness to “hear” the whole world at once, like we seem to hear the rhythmically organized films of the 1920s by Dziga Vertov. The other side of the high levels of noise in the canvases by the OST painters is a strange “muteness”. It can be regarded as a direct parallel to physical research into unheard ultra- and infrasound having a strong impact on the environment, or to studies into “deafening silence” carried out at the Phonological department of the State Institute of Art Culture. The conclusion that follows from this study is that the attempt undertaken by the Society of Easel Artists to make the viewer comprehend the whole world through auditory and visual perception was in line with the experiments of the 1920s both in science and in art. The final aim of the OST group was to organize the psychology and life of the people of the future by means of this artistic method.
The Screen Space in the Composite Multi-Angle Television Frame

Published: February 2022

The relevance of this research is connected with the technical revolution that is unfolding in the field of electronic mass media, in particular, television. There appear new forms of presenting visual information, as well as many opportunities and tasks for those creating the television image. The principles of modeling the visual reality of the television frame are becoming increasingly complex, as compared to several decades ago. How to find an effective compositional, coloristic and expository balance between several images simultaneously presented on the screen and correctly weave the visual fabric of a television frame? What is a multi-angle shot and non-spatiality? Why do we have to deal with multi-scale and time-diversity in a frame? In this article, the importance of studying multi-angle visualization of reality in the discourse of screen space is highlighted. The author aims at analyzing a viewer’s position in front of the screen and their priority order of image viewing, like a straight splice of television shots, but within a multi-screen. Additionally, he describes the functionality of a simultaneous display of an action shot from different angles and provides examples of multi-vector screen time within a single frame when modeling an image by different technical means. The article discusses the principles of image projection and acquisition of properties of an object of augmented screen reality by an element of additional visualized information. The analysis of the visual multilayer structure of screen space has both theoretical and practical significance. In theoretical terms, it provides definitions of a multi-angle shot, non-spatiality, multi-scale, and time-diversity and specifies the properties of these concepts. Its practical value lies in studying the feasibility of creating screen space in a modern media environment. The author brings intermediate results of research the main focus of which is the study of the visual structure of screen space in television news material.
Evangelicals and the Evangel
Authors: Horton Michael
Published: February 2022

In this article, the author argues on the importance of the Reformation. Despite over 500 years has passed since the reformation, the roman catholic church has not moved towards the true understanding of the gospel, in terms of justification as being declared right. Furthermore, in the author's context of American Evangelism, pelagianism seems taking over the mindset of the biblically illiterate. The preaching of the evangel that justifies the ungodly must be the call of the day.

Authors: Thianto Yudha
Published: February 2022

In this article, the author argues of the significance of Psalm singing in Calvin's Liturgy of the Lord's Supper. Metrical psalm singing is one of Calvin's contributions towards the changes in reformation worship. Furthermore, his emphasis on its use in the Liturgy of the Lord's Supper is an important retrieval from the wider diversity in many contemporary church worship. Throughout the article, the author endorses a creative use of psalm singing in the church. Such practice must not be forgotten that has been formative to the reformation in the past.

A 40-YEAR PANDEMIC: THE BRAZILIAN PROGRAM TO FIGHT HIV/AIDS AND STDS IS CONSIDERED A WORLD REFERENCE IN PUBLIC HEALTH POLICY
Authors: Dias Eduardo Moreira
Published: February 2022

The very high costs of the medicines were causing difficulties for the Brazilian Government to universalize the HIV/AIDS patient’s treatment. The Brazilian government, at a given moment, pressured by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO`s), started negotiations with large international laboratories, holders of drug patents, with the objective of reducing the sale value in the country. For not considering the negotiations favorable the Brazilian Government decided to infringe on the patents on medicines that help in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Meanwhile, there is a reaction from the pharmaceutical industry and even the US government - which threatens to file suit against Brazil in the World Trade Organization (WTO). From the presentation of this real case, this work aims to clarify central concepts and theories, as well as to contribute to the advancement, diffusion and democratization of knowledge in the field of Public Policy.
