Keeping New Zealand in the World Values Survey, 1985-2019:A Brief Project History and Selected New Zealand Social Trends from the World’s Largest Non-Commercial Social Survey
Authors: Perry Paul , Yeung Polly
Published: November 2021

A brief review of the World Values Survey (WVS) is presented. Seven waves of the survey have occurred since the 1980’s, in between 50 and 80 different countries, using a common questionnaire of several hundred items covering a wide range of social and political views.  The WVS in New Zealand is then described, having completed six waves between 1985 and the latest survey in 2019. New Zealand social researchers are urged to make use of the WVS data, which is freely available on the WVS website, for all waves. WVS data can be used for cross-national comparisons, examining issues within New Zealand and to consider changes in social views over time.  Examples of some the most evident social trends over time in New Zealand are presented.  These include increasing environmental concern, social tolerance, support for gender equality, and increasing value placed on the Treaty of Waitangi. Declines can be seen in religiosity, active participation in some types of voluntary organisations, a willingness to fight for the country and the use of traditional media as a source of news. Several illustrative cross-national comparisons are also presented including a dramatic difference in attitudes towards migrants between New Zealand and Australia.
Well-Being Indicators in Aotearoa/New Zealand the 2021 ‘state of the play’
Authors: Crothers Charles
Published: November 2021

Since the turn of the Millenium there have been active developments of social indicator frameworks in New Zealand, alongside related efforts of economic, environmental, and health indicators. The first phase included the Ministry of Social Development’s Social Report and the – still on-going - Quality of Life Project alongside living standards studies and the academic FWWP[1] study drawing on census data. In the second decade a new approach gradually emerged. The Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) General Social Survey provided a firm foundation for developing indicators, international conceptualisation from the OECD and other sources was explicitly drawn on, the Household Economic Survey underwent ongoing enhancement and Treasury embarked on the long-term development of its Living Standards framework. A recent fillip driven by the emerging rhetoric of ‘Social Well Being’ has been the institutionalising of social indicators in the forthcoming Treasury Wellbeing report, an interest in social cohesion, mobilisation of academic knowledge, consideration of a wider range of inputs (especially on behalf of ethnic communities) and establishment of more active SNZ and other websites and dashboards, which supply useful single-variable vignettes and considerable downloadable source data but little analysis.  The New Zealand social indicator system, within the increasingly comprehensive overall indicator system, is beginning to consolidate but needs more considered development.

Factors to Consider while Teaching English to Arab Students
Authors: H. Dohal Gassim
Published: November 2021

When you have a chance to teach English in Saudi Arabia at different levels – beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels, you will discover a lot of challenges that face a teacher of a foreign language. Those barriers vary from one situation into another, from one level into another, and from one place into another. Some barriers are connected with the culture in question, others – with the contents of the syllabus, passing through the method your students are taught with while taking other subjects. These aforementioned barriers are few among many others. They are focused on here because of their importance in obstructing learning and teaching a foreign language like English. Moreover, at a college level, English may be chosen as an optional, elective, pass-guaranteed, and grade-gained subject. In this sense, this issue might become a good topic for researchers who are interested in teaching and learning a foreign language. Some students told me in more than one department and on many occasions that they chose English because they do not like much work and in this subject they are sure of passing the test. What a teacher expects from such students is just nothing; they have no mere idea of learning at all. They need to fill in a number of courses they have to register in their transcripts with no effort on their part. I will address some of the challenges teachers of English at Saudi Arabian schools should be cautious of while practicing their career. The aim of this article is to attract the attention of teachers of foreign languages to these obstacles that definitely exist and hinder all efforts of teaching and learning a foreign language. At the end of this article, some suggestions are provided depending on my experience in teaching English at different levels and to different types of students.
Theoretical and methodological principles of training future Physical Education teachers in the application of individual education trajectories in the pupils’ educational process
Authors: Bukhovets Bozhena , Dolynskyi Borys , Dyshel Halyna , Pogorelova Olena
Published: November 2021

The current social situation in the country obliges the school to provide its graduates with quality education; to develop their personally significant knowledge, skills and means of activities; to stimulate the desire for creativity, their own individuality. The development of an individual education trajectory for each student will help to master all of the above mentioned aspects. The purpose of the article is to elaborate a model and experimental methods aimed at training future teachers of Physical Education in using individual education trajectories. Unfortunately, modern teachers do not pay a due attention to the development of individual education trajectories. It is possible to assume that teachers are simply not ready for such an innovative type of activity. Thus, teachers of modern higher education institutions encounter the task to train future teachers, including the ones of Physical Education; to develop and implement students’ individual education trajectories. A particular attention should be paid to teaching students to develop their own individual education trajectory. Such trajectories will promote their self-development and self-realization in future professional activities.
Spin thermoelectric effects of new-style one-dimensional carbon-based nanomaterials
Authors: Liu Yushen , Feng Jinfu , Wang Xuefeng
Published: November 2021

Based on first-principles methods, the authors of this paper investigate spin thermoelectric effects of one-dimensional spin-based devices consisting of zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs), carbon chains and graphene nanoflake. It is found that the spin-down transmission function is suppressed to zero, while the spin-up transmission function is about 0.25. Therefore, an ideal half-metallic property is achieved. In addition, the phonon thermal conductance is obviously smaller than the electronic thermal conductance. Meantime, the spin Seebeck effects are obviously enhanced at the low-temperature regime (about 80K), resulting in the fact that spin thermoelectric figure of merit can reach about 40. Moreover, the spin thermoelectric figure of merit is always larger than the corresponding charge thermoelectric figure of merit. Therefore, the study shows that they can be used to prepare the ideal thermospin devices.

Published: November 2021

The electrospinning precursor solution was prepared by dissolving polyvinyl pyrrolidone as template, tetrabutyl titanate as titanium source, and acetic acid as inhibitor. The TiO2 nanofilms were prepared by precursor solution electrospinning and subsequent calcination. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize and analyze the samples. The influence of technological parameters on spinning fiber morphology was also studied. The results indicate that the TiO2 nanofibers morphology is good when the parameters are as follows: voltage 1.4×104 V，spinning distance 0.2 m，translational velocity 2.5×10-3 m·s-1, flow rate 3×10-4 m·s-1, and needle diameter 3×10-4 m. The diameter of the fibers is about 150 nm. With the 1×10-4 mol·L-1 methylene blue solution used as simulated degradation target, the degradation rate is 95.8% after 180 minutes.

This paper reviewed the research progress of perovskite solar cells with different nanoarray structure transport layers. The challenges and development directions of perovskite solar cells based on nanoarray structure transport layers are also summarized and prospected.
Defocused image restoration method based on micro-nano scale
Authors: Liu Yongjun , Wu Qiuyu , Zhang Mingxin , Wang Yi
Published: November 2021

An image adaptive noise reduction enhancement algorithm based on NSCT is proposed to perform image restoration preprocessing on the defocused image obtained under the microscope. Defocused images acquired under micro-nano scale optical microscopy, usually with inconspicuous details, edges and contours, affect the accuracy of subsequent observation tasks. Due to its multi-scale and multi-directionality, the NSCT transform has superior transform functions and can obtain more textures and edges of images. Combined with the characteristics of micro-nanoscale optical defocus images, the NSCT inverse transform is performed on all sub-bands to reconstruct the image. Finally, the experimental results of the standard 500nm scale grid, conductive probe and triangular probe show that the proposed algorithm has a better image enhancement effect and significantly improves the quality of out-of-focus images.

Aspectos sociocognitivos de representações racistas na linguagem metafórica
Authors: Lima Rafahel Jean Parintins
Published: November 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as interações entre aspectos conceptuais e histórico-culturais em representações racistas sobre pessoas negras. Essa exploração é realizada a partir dos estudos sociocognitivos da linguagem (SALOMÃO, 1999; KOCH; CUNHA-LIMA, 2004; MARCUSCHI, 2002; entre outros) e de estudos sócio-históricos do racismo (MUNANGA, 1999; 2003; COSTA, 2006; REGINALDO, 2018; entre outros). Neste artigo, apresentamos e discutimos argumentos, exemplos linguísticos e resultados analisados das pesquisas linguístico-cognitivas recentes de Vereza e Puente (2017) sobre a conceptualização do mal como escuridão e de Mendes (2016) sobre a representação do negro como macaco na linguagem em uso. A pesquisa de Vereza e Puente (2017) utiliza metodologias baseadas no levantamento de expressões linguísticas metafóricas (não) racistas nos textos bíblicos. A pesquisa de Mendes (2016) analisa comentários racistas da rede social Facebook e textos dos séculos XIV a XX do Corpus do Português. Os resultados dessas pesquisas indicam que a representação negativa da escuridão e da cor preta tem forte base corpórea ou experiencial, enquanto a representação do negro como macaco tem uma base mais histórico-cultural. Com base nessas pesquisas, concluímos que aspectos conceptuais e histórico-culturais se imbricam de diferentes formas em representações racistas de pessoas negras.

Published: November 2021

Abstract.Introduction: Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan, HA) has become the most popular tool for improving the skin condition during aging, correcting wrinkles and other cosmetic defects. Objective: Analysis of the results of studies that reflect the pharmacogenomics of the synthesis, degradation, and reception of HA. Materials and methods: We searched for full-text publications in Russian and English in the E-Library, PubMed, Springer, Clinical keys, Google Scholar databases, using keywords and combined word searches (hyaluronic acid, hyaluronan, synthesis, degradation, reception, receptor, genetics), over the past decade. In addition, the review included earlier publications of historical interest. Despite our comprehensive searches of these commonly used databases and search terms, it cannot be excluded that some publications may have been missed. Results: The lecture examines: the role of ha in normal and aging human; genes involved in the synthesis (HAS1, HAS2, HAS3), degradation (HYAL1, HYAL2, HYAL3) and reception of ha (CD44, HARE, RHAMM); as well as the expression of their encoded proteins and enzymes in the skin. Conclusion: Expanding our knowledge of the pharmacogenomics of endogenous ha and increasing the exogenous HA drugs (used in anti-aging therapy and medical cosmetology) on the pharmaceutical market requires taking into account individual, including genetically determined, characteristics of the body of each individual patient to ensure an optimal balance of effectiveness/safety of exogenous HA from the point of view of personalized medicine

The course of bullous pemphigoid against the background of vaccination against a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19)
Authors: Martynov Andrey A. , Vlasova Anna V.
Published: November 2021

The article describes a clinical case of vaccination with the drug "Kovivac" of a patient of an older age group with an established diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. Scientific data on the prevalence of bullous dermatoses in the Russian Federation (true pemphigus, Lever's bullous pemphigoid, Dhring's herpetiformis dermatitis) are presented. There is a good tolerance of the Kovivac vaccine in a patient suffering from bullous pemphigoid, which allows vaccination, in fact, without interrupting patients from their daily activities and without diverting the resources of the healthcare system to unreasonable inpatient care. The decision to vaccinate should be made on the basis of data on the available indications / contraindications for drugs, taking into account the individual anamnestic data of patients. In addition, it should be borne in mind that until now, all links of the infectious process caused by SARS-CoV-2 have not been fully studied. In this regard, before vaccination, patients must be informed of the need to comply with the anti-epidemic measures recommended for the prevention of coronavirus infection (COVID-19), even after full vaccination, as well as dynamic observation by specialist doctors.

Published: November 2021

Background

All medical graduates must know how to stabilize and manage critically ill patients. A 2-day intensive course, called the acute critical care course (ACCC), was conducted to train interns in technical and non-technical skills for managing a patient whose condition is deteriorating. This analysis aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of ACCC for interns.

Methods

We developed and conducted the ACCC to train interns. It included lectures and skill stations. Twenty-four interns participated in the course. Immediate, post-course, quantitative and qualitative feedback was taken online. Qualitative information was also collected verbally and later by email. These data were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Thematic analysis was used to identify, analyse and report the patterns of responses and behaviour.

Results

The average score for the utility of the course was 4.7 and for the skill stations it was 4.6 on a scale of 5. The qualitative analysis of the feedback emphasized the need for the course before the clinical posting and more skill-based modules rather than lectures. The interactive style of teaching and training in communication using role-play was appreciated. Few suggestions to improve the course were provided.

Conclusions

Implementing the ACCC needed simulation, interactive discussions, role-play, modified Pendleton’s feedback, and reflective exercise that form the basis of a range of educational principles. The blended learning set of objectives of ACCC were the pillars for this successful internship training programme.

Scientific basis for the trainer aircraft anti-g equipment requirements
Authors: Kiselev M. A. , Levitsky S. V. , Moroshkin D. V.
Published: November 2021

The design process of a new aircraft (AC) is always associated with the issue of choosing its basic technical parameters, or, in other words, the formation of its conceptual design. In case of a civil aircraft, the choice of these parameters is defined by the requirements for operational safety, market conditions, norms that specify the tolerable harmful impact of the aircraft on the environment, etc. In case of a military aircraft, its outlay mostly depends on the concept of potential military threats, ways of using the military aircraft in military conflicts. Some of these requirements are formulated in regulatory documents – the Aviation Requirements for Civil Aircraft and the General Tactical and Technical Requirements of the Air Force for Military Aircraft. For example, Part 25 of the Aviation Requirements for Civil Aircraft defines the Airworthiness Standards for transport aircraft. It should be noted that the stated above requirements are often a tool of competition, for example, when tightening the aircraft noise abatement procedures provides advantages for particular manufacturers, not admitting other manufacturers to enter the market, whose aircraft do not conform to the new standards. Thus, complying with the requirements virtually involves additional costs both in the aircraft development and during its operation. In addition, the implementation of the requirements stated above can lead to the deterioration of the aircraft’s performance, and hence, to the decrease of its competiveness and combat effectiveness. Therefore, each requirement of the regulatory documents should have a profound scientific rationale. This article analyzes one of the regulatory documents requirements referring to the necessity of anti-g system on board aircraft. The authors propose the approach to specify the existing criterion to provide the scientific basis for the anti-g system on board aircraft by assessing the actual level of pilot load when maneuvering. The subject under study is of particular importance for the Yak-152 trainer aircraft. The actual level of loads during pilotage of the Yak-152 trainer aircraft does not require the use of the anti-g system but if to be based on a formal criterion, namely, in terms of the maximum operational overload value, the aircraft should be fitted out with such a system.
Analysis of the propellers-airframe interaction of the light transport aircraft
Authors: Mikhailov Yu. S.
Published: November 2021

In the design of multi-engine aircraft, one of the important issues is the interaction between the propellers and airframe configuration components, especially in take-off and go-around procedure modes. Modern propeller-driven aircraft concepts in the pulling configuration are characterized by a high disk loading and an increased number of propeller blades used to increase cruising speed and reduce excessive noise. The first problem arising due to high disk loading is the direct impact of forces by operating propellers (thrust, normal force) on fixed-wing stability, especially at angles of attack different from a zero value. The second one involves a high-energy level of the propeller slipstream, having a significant indirect impact on the aircraft’s aerodynamics, stability and controllability. This impact is primarily associated with the interaction of propellers slipstream with other aircraft’s configuration elements. The complexity of taking into account the slipstream-wing interaction and other airframe components stipulated the application of experimental methods to study the problems of propellers – airframe interaction while designing propeller-driven aircraft configurations. This article presents an analysis of the experimental studies results of the operating propellers- airframe interaction for a light twin-engine transport aircraft. The aerodynamic aircraft’s configuration is executed using the conventional pattern of a high-wing and the carrier-on deck type empennage. The high-lift wing device is a fixed-vane doubleslotted flap. The wind-tunnel tests of the model in the cruising, takeoff and landing configurations were carried out in TsAGI lowspeed wind-tunnel T-102. Measurement of forces and moments, acting on the model, was performed by means of an external sixcomponent wind-tunnel balance. Measurement of forces and moments, acting on the propeller, was conducted using strain gauge weighers installed inside the engine nacelles of power plant simulators. The simultaneous combined use of external and internal balances allowed researchers to determine the direct and indirect contribution of operating propellers to the model longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics under variation of loading factor B ranging from 0 to 2.
Application of the multidimensional statistical analysis in the development of an integrated safety management system in an aircraft maintenance organization
Authors: Aseev N. V. , Sharov V. D.
Published: November 2021

Modern aviation enterprises are lots of risks-related owners associated with execution of their activities. Nowadays there are various management systems such as a Quality Management System (QMS), Safety Management System (SMS), etc., which describe all the potential risks for an organization. The problem of synchronization and unification of these systems in the framework of a comprehensive analysis of managing changes and fulfilling production operation remains unsolved at this point. To settle this problem, the article suggests using an integrated safety management system (ISMS). When developing ISMS in an aircraft maintenance organization that integrates the management systems of flight safety, quality, aviation, information, environmental safety, etc., the organization encounters the problem of data redundancy and duplication about manifestations of hazard factors in various aspects of its activities. This can make it difficult to collect and process data and take corrective/preventive measures. The issue of reasonable reduction of the original list of hazard factors can be considered as the subject of decreasing the dimension of the entity activity model, which can be solved using the method of the factor analysis principal components. Furthermore, application of the principal components method provides an expert analyst with supplementary, scientifically-based data on the quality of work and allows him to predict trends. The article based on real data of the aircraft maintenance organization shows the applicability of the method with the purpose for optimizing the list of hazard factors manifestations regarding a single aspect of organization activity.

Researchers emphasized acute lacunar stroke (ALS) patients suffer from poor social/physical outcomes, cognitive decline, and decreased quality of life. We hypothesized brain abnormalities may occur in ALS during this particular stage and may be associated with cognitive deficits upon evaluation. We investigated structural abnormalities in ALS using magnetic resonance imaging and voxel-based morphometry conducted on 28 healthy controls (HC) and 29 patients with ALS and proximal anterior circulation occlusion within 12 hours of symptom onset. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores were used to evaluate cognitive dysfunction. Decreased gray matter (GM) in ALS vs. HC was predominantly in the superior frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, insula, superior temporal gyrus (STG), heschl gyrus, middle temporal gyrus (MTG), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), hippocampus (HIP), and others. Positive correlation was found between GM density and MMSE scores in STG ( r = 0.59, p = 0.0007), MTG ( r = 0.46, p = 0.01), PCC ( r = 0.42, p = 0.02), HIP ( r = 0.4, p = 0.03), and medial prefrontal cortex ( r = 0.5, p = 0.005). This study provided further information on pathophysiological/morphological mechanisms related to cognitive impairment in ALS and is the basis for further studies in aging-related diseases.

Authors: Yang Yuan , He Le , Miao Suhua , Zhou Rongsong , Zhang Yuqi , Ma Yu
Published: November 2021

Background:

Acupuncture has become an important alternative clinical treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD), but its efficacy and the underlying mechanisms remain debatable. Using a newly developed magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) method that has higher sensitivity for smaller and distal vessels and a novel tool that can trace vessels and extract vascular features, the immediate effects of acupuncture on intracranial vessels and blood flow in patients with PD as well as correlations with clinical outcomes were quantitatively evaluated.

Methods:

Fifteen PD patients received acupuncture at the Dazhui and Fengchi acupoint positions. MRA was performed before and after 30 min of treatment. The cerebral blood flow (CBF) and the length, volume, diameter, and signal intensity of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were measured. The Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale part III (UPDRS-III) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the motor symptoms and the subjective feelings of discomfort.

Results:

Acupuncture significantly reduced UPDRS-III and VAS scores. No significant changes were noted in the overall CBF before and after treatment. However, there was a significant extension effect on the length of the intracranial ICA and MCA and the distal MCA, and a significant increase in the number of branches of the MCA was found. Although acupuncture tended to increase the total volume of the intracranial ICA and the volume of the MCA, no statistical significance was reached. The total intensity was not altered, but the intensity and diameter of the M1 segment were significantly increased, whereas the intensity of the MCA was decreased. A positive correlation between M1 intensity changes and UPDRS-III changes was found.

Conclusions:

Angiographic evaluation suggested that acupuncture had a significant effect on intracranial blood vessels, which is one possible mechanism for acupuncture improving the motor symptoms of PD.
Síntesis de evidencia y recomendaciones: Guía para el cuidado de pacientes adultos críticos con COVID-19 en las Américas

Introducción. La Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró en el 2020 la pandemia de la enfermedad por el coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19, por su sigla en inglés), causada por el coronavirus de tipo del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS-CoV-2, por su sigla en inglés) y que se ha extendido alrededor del mundo. Aproximadamente 5% de los pacientes infectados son críticos y requieren admisión a la unidad de cuidado intensivo (UCI). En estos pacientes, la COVID-19 puede estar complicada con un síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda, choque séptico y falla multiorgánica, que incluye la falla renal y cardíaca.

Objetivo. Sintetizar las recomendaciones incluidas en la Guía para el cuidado de pacientes adultos críticos con COVID-19 en las Américas, versión 3 publicada por la Organización Panamericana de la Salud en 2021, con el fin de orientar el manejo de pacientes adultos críticos con COVID-19 atendidos en la UCI y abordar aspectos clave de su implementación.

Métodos. Se llevó a cabo una síntesis de la guía y sus recomendaciones. Además, se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en Pubmed, Lilacs, Health Systems Evidence, Epistemonikos y literatura gris de estudios desarrollados en la Región de las Américas con el fin de identificar barreras, facilitadores y estrategias de implementación.

Resultados. Se presentan 43 recomendaciones que abordan la identificación de marcadores y factores de riesgo de mortalidad, prevención y control de infecciones, recolección de muestras, cuidado de soporte (ventilatorio y hemodinámico), tratamiento farmacológico, rehabilitación temprana, uso de estudios por imágenes, prevención de complicaciones y criterios de egreso de los pacientes críticos con COVID-19.

Conclusiones. Las recomendaciones buscan proveer el conocimiento sobre el manejo de pacientes críticos con COVID-19 y ofrecer consideraciones para su implementación en la Región.
Self-identification issue in American fiction of 2000s
Authors: Rykova Hanna
Published: November 2021

The article focuses on the issue of self-identity search in the novels of two American authors such as David Ebersghoff with his “The Danish Girl” (2000) and Jeoffrey Eugenides with his “Middlesex” (2002). Identity transformation being one of the main categories of our research makes the process of identity shift together with the influence of space travels and gender blurring on it more vivid. This article logically continues a previously started research of the self-identity issue in American fiction. The identity process is a remarkable trait of social and cultural life of all the times and is still crucial for national and family identification. As a consequence another problem arises that is differentiation between the categories of gender and sex as well as the issue of self appreciation within your family and certain location / community. Yi-Fu Tuan’s space and place theory from the perspective of experience facilitates the approach to the analysis of body and space relationnship in the novels and creates a smooth background for transition from space and body issues into body and gender field. J. Butler’s gender theory together with H. Urbach’s theory of gender and space order serve the basis for the detailed investigation of various somatic codes’ functioning and interaction. The analysis has shown the way the so-called identificational chain fluctuates both in the somatic and spacial spheres and the way these spheres interact. As a result the main protagonists Einar Wegener and Cal Stephanidis’ gender roles together with the identity change to such an extent that they both come to understanding of being trapped in their body. And it’s important to say that the process of the identity fluctuation obtains dynamic and continuous character that constantly redefines gender identity borders. The formation of an integral (artistic or familial, national, cultural) space within the text facilitates the gender identity’s transition and provides additional instruments for a better identity performance.
“Blue Book” by Vasyl Stefanyk: poetics of seriality / mosaic
Authors: Virchenko Tetiana
Published: November 2021

Decoding art, understanding the stage fate of works of literature, expanding the boundaries of the content of the concept of “poetics”, rethinking the individual style of the writer is possible in different ways. One of them is the study of film poetics as a separate literary work, and the whole collection, the work of the writer in general. All this determines the relevance of the article. The study of the state of development of the problem testifies to the attention of scientists — representatives of various scientific schools of Ukraine (L. Gorbolis, S. Kyryliuk, N. Mocherniuk) — to aspects of intermediality of V. Stefanyk’s work. It emphasizes the relevance of the study. Recognition of the fact of non-accidental arrangement of V. Stefanyk’s samples in the collection “Blue Book” thanks to the research work of V. Yermak, determines the purpose of scientific research. It is outlining the notable features of cinema. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to study each element of the short stories in terms of visualization. For this purpose, it is necessary to use structural-semiotic and poetological methods.
As the results of the analysis of each short story, several regularities are revealed. The writer not only introduces the character into the life context but also visualizes the scene (“Blue Book”, “Lost”, “In the Inn”). Defining artistic details and emotional state of the character are mostly presented in close-ups (“Taken out of the village”, “Autumn”, “Alone”). There are frames full of sounds and colors (“Blue Book”, “Pious”, “Katrusya”). The tempo of the frames is slowed down, due to which a visual image appears in the mind of the reader, which provokes the recipient to emotional work (“Taken out of the Village”). Each image has a cyclic construction, while the whole collection is evidence of the application of the poetics of seriality. The samples are interconnected emotionally, tonally, semantically (“Taken out of the Village”, “Lost”, “In the Inn”, “Les’ family”, “Mother’s Son”). The collection has an artistic unity due to common symbols, rich visual potential. Given the findings, there is a reason to believe that all literary works by V. Stefanyk deserve attention from the standpoint of visuality.
