Authors: Cialente Fabrizio , Cialente Fabrizio , Carlo De Vincentiis Giovanni , Santarsiero Sara , Marilena Trozzi
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Nasal septal abscess (NSA) in the pediatric population is an uncommon condition, but it can cause devastating complications (such as potentially life-threatening intracranial infections and cosmetic nasal deformity). The objective of this study is to report a case of an pediatric patient presenting with NSA in association with frontal-ethmoid acute sinusitis and intracranial abscess.
Method and Results: In this study, we report a case of an 8-year-old patient who progressed from spontaneous nasal septal abscess to sinusitis (maxillary, frontal and ethmoidal), cosmetic nasal deformity (destruction of septal cartilage) and intracranial complication. The purulent collection necessitated urgent surgical drainage and adequate medical treatment.
Conclusion: Nasal septal abscess in children is a rare condition that necessitates early appropriate drainage in order to prevent severe life-threatening complications. Furthermore, in the growing child, in case of total destruction of the cartilaginous septum, immediate reconstruction with autologous cartilage graft is essential for normal development of the nose and maxilla.

The synthesis of some cytisine derivatives was carried out in the work. The article provides the data of quantum-chemical calculation and virtual screening of the alkaloid cytisine derivatives synthesized. At the same time, the reaction centers of the cytisine derivatives molecules were determined. In order to study the reactivity of the derivatives obtained (namely cinnamoylcytisine, lipoylcytisine, and cytisinylisoalantholactone) the quantum-chemical calculations were conducted to determine the energy and charge characteristics of the molecules. The results indicate a sufficient thermodynamic stability of the cinnamoylcytisine and lipoylcytisine molecules. The cytisinylisoalantholactone molecule is not stable according to the results of quantum chemical calculations. The data on the energy values of the frontier molecular orbitals show that, in general, all molecules exhibit electrophilic properties. A bioprediction was implemented using PASS (Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances) as one of the most efficient and well-known computer program with the aim of detailed study and the probable establishment of the biological activity of the synthesized cytisine derivatives. Based on the results of virtual screening, promising types of alkaloid cytisine derivatives were identified, which are potential sources of original drugs

The development of physicochemical methods for the analysis of objects of complex composition requires the application of methods of mathematical experiment design. This article investigates the possibility of using probabilistic-deterministic design of experiment (PDDoE) for obtaining a mathematical model of the chromatographic separation process of coal tar hydrogenation products on an Agilent 7890A device with an Rxi-5ms column. It is shown that the relationship between the column heating rate and the carrier gas pressure with the values averaged for the entire chromatogram can be established with a high accuracy. It is noted that the accuracy of modeling the individual characteristics of the mixture components’ peaks is less, but remains sufficient for many practical needs. Nonlinear multiple correlation coefficients (NMC) for the dependence of the average retention time and average intensity on the considered factors are more than 0.99; they are more than 0.98 for the average peak width. NMC for the dependence of the resolution with the relation to the peaks of naphthalene and 2-ethylphenol is more than 0.8 at a significant level that sufficient for practice. The quality of the mathematical model was checked by triple registration of the chromatogram at the values of the column heating rate and carrier gas pressure that were not used in the training experiment. The measurement results are excellent squared with those calculated using the obtained generalized equations. The PDDoE method can be recommended as a method for mathematical design of an optimization experiment in gas chromatography.
Invariants of ratio of crystal-mobile, liquid-mobile, and vaporized chaotized particles in solid, liquid, and gas states of substance

Published: December 2021

The authors of the article have developed the concept of chaotic particles based on the Boltzmann distribution over the kinetic energy of the particles’ chaotic motion. This distribution allows to combine the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter with the help of energetic particles called crystal-mobile, liquid-mobile, and vapor-mobile. The ratio of the proportions of such randomized particles determines a certain state of matter aggregation. The sum of the shares of these particles in all combinations at any temperature is equal to unity. During the study it has identified that qualitative and quantitative analysis of states with a priority basic effect of a randomized component of a substance can be conducted. Certain regularities of states were discovered, independent of the specific type of substance and consistent with the physicochemical properties. The entropy of mixing of all three energy classes of chaotic particles was calculated for simple substances. It was characterized by a maximum in the interval of the boiling point of substances. This feature testifies to the unique variety of possibilities for the implementation of the most complex heterogeneous processes in terrestrial conditions at atmospheric pressure, which ultimately ensured the self-organization of life

A novel linear amphoteric terpolymers based on neutral monomer — N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), ani- onic monomer — 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid sodium salt (AMPS), and cationic mono- mer — (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (APTAC) were synthesized by free-radical polymerization in aqueous solution and characterized by methods of 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, TGA, GPC, Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta-potential. The thermal and salt sensitivity of amphoteric ternary polymers of various compositions, particularly, [NIPAM]:[AMPS]:[APTAC] = 90:2.5:7.5; 90:5:5; 90:7.5:2.5 mol.% were studied in aqueous and aqueous-salt solutions in the temperature range from 25 to 60 C and at the NaCl ionic strength  interval from 10–3 to 1M. It was found that due to hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance, the temperature dependent conformational and phase change of macromolecular chains becomes sensitive to salt addition and allows the fine-tuning of the phase transition. In aqueous and aqueous-salt solutions, the average hydrodynamic size of amphoteric terpolymers is varied from 8 to 300 nm exhibiting bimodal distribution at room temperature. The number average (Mn) and weight average (Mw) molecular weights, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta-potentials of amphoteric terpolymers in aqueous solu- tions were determined

Conceptual and Artistic Fundamentals of Tetiana Yablonska’s Neo-Folklorism
Authors: Sytnyk Iryna
Published: December 2021

The paper examines the establishment and development of folk style in the works of Ukrainian artist Tetiana Yablonska (1917–2005), namely in her mid-1950s–1960s paintings. Recent publications allowed to apply general-to-specific approach to the material: identifying socio-political and cultural transformations of the Thaw period in Ukraine and outlining the personal factors that contributed to Yablonska’s fascination with folk art.
Based on the material of the corpus of works, the changes of stylistic fabric are examined and the dominant tendencies of neo-folklorism evolution in Yablonska’s artworks are revealed. Three-stage periodization of her creative biography is introduced into the broad scientific discourse: preparatory stage (study in the Kyiv Art Institute under Fedir Krychevsky’s mentorship during 1935–1941), an academic and folklore stage of the late 1950s, and a folklore stage in the 1960s. The issue of co-relation of the artistic and emblematic language of neo-folk style in painting with other kinds of art, in particular, the search for corresponding stylistics in the Ukrainian cinema in order to refresh theoretical studies concerning tendencies of development of visual art of Ukraine of the period is covered. The main artistic principles of neo-folklorism are outlined, in particular, the sculptural generalization and two-dimensionality of the form, the locally unique color scheme, the concision of folk ornamental motifs.
The research question is the folklore theme in paintings of Yablonska in mid-1950s–60s, the preconditions of its origins and evolution. The aim of the study is to identify the stock-in-trade of neo-folklorism in the artist’s canvases based on the analysis of socio-political and cultural factors.
The methodology of work is grounded in the complex use of art analysis techniques in the study of the body of artworks, and interdisciplinary principles of culturological analysis in the study of ideological and worldview principles of the period. For the first time, Yablonska’s creations are considered in correlation with poetry (album Tetiana Yablonska. Ivan Drach. The Book that was Destroyed, 1969), common rhythmic and figurative features and philosophical and symbolic principles of creation are revealed.
Portraiture Transformations in the Communicative Space of Culture at the Turn of the 21st Century
Authors: Abramova Marianna
Published: December 2021

The rapid development of information and digital technologies at the turn of the twenty-first century causes significant transformations of the portrait genre. The portrait goes beyond the scope of solely artistic practice and takes on the characteristics of a special form of social communication. Portraying becomes a widely demanded social practice in terms of image-making and, in such a kind, is involved in the construction of a new sociocultural reality. In the digital dimensions of our time, the portrait appears to a greater extent not as a form of cognition of a personality, but as a form of designing an “ideal model” of a man in the context of the philosophical concept of transhumanism. The dynamic evolution of portraying in advertising, mass-media, social networks, as well as its current modifications in connection with the emergence of technologies based on artificial intelligence, such as deepfake etc., determines the author’s interest in the facts and patterns that have caused changes in the interpretation of the image of a man, and in the forms of its representation in the modern sociocultural media space.
Artist’s Brand and Art Market: A Modern System of Values in Art
Authors: Bezuhla Ruslana
Published: December 2021

The paper examines the influence of commodification processes on the sphere of art. It is indicated that in the modern world art becomes directly dependent on the market, which is the result of the current system of values. The aim of the research is to trace how, under the influence of commodification processes, consumer mechanisms are extrapolated to culture and art; how the process of production, distribution, and consumption affect artistic product changes; to analyze the essential characteristics of the artist’s brand as a marketing tool that directly influences the process of distribution, popularization, and perception of works of art on the art market. The theoretical and methodological basis of the research were philosophical and general scientific approaches, principles and methods that enabled to consider the artist’s brand from different standpoints. Interdisciplinary approach ensured the use of the latest theoretical developments of social and humanitarian sciences in the analysis of the artist’s brand; the phenomenological method was applied at the stage of revealing the essence and unfolding the phenomenon of the artist’s brand, its transformations in the modern art space; the axiological approach made allowed to clarify the role and significance of the artist’s brand in cultural and artistic transformation processes.
The Author’s Role in the New Media Art: Composers’ Experiments
Authors: Chibalashvili Asmati
Published: December 2021

The paper analyzes the concepts of authorship reflected in the literary works of French structuralists, the V. Martynov’s idea of “the end of the era of composers”, as well as the L. Manovych’s models of authorship in the culture of new media. On the one hand, these ideas are based on the paradigm of postmodernism; on the other hand, they reflect the impact of digital technology on artistic processes, which in turn leads to the formation of new models of creation and, consequently, authorship. As a result of the analysis of art projects of the last decades, in particular of the network project Global Mix, the interactive piano play Wiki Piano Net by Alexander Schubert, the performance of the international group Totem Kit-fit, the interactive sound installation Cave of Sounds, the AIVA program — Artificial intelligence Virtual Artist, etc., two directions for the use of digital technologies in artistic processes were identified. The first implies involvement of digital technologies as a tool to automate certain processes or to expand the means of expression. Within the second trend, technology becomes a prominent formative factor, often determining the end result with minimal author involvement. In the art of the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century, there were significant changes in the mecha-nisms of creativity and aesthetic guidelines reflected in the perception of the author’s status.

Everyday Life of Ukrainian Artists of the 1960s–1980s: Perspectives of Cultural Research
Authors: Poliakova Maryna
Published: December 2021

The research problem of the paper is the approach to the study of Ukrainian art culture of the 1960s–1980s (the era of stagnation) in its nonconformist aspect, according to which the other areas fall out of the focus of researchers’ interests. The coexistence of nonconformist practices with those that can be conditionally called “conformist ones” is explored. The advantages of abandoning rigid binary oppositions and involving complex methods for analyzing the sociocultural practices of the artists are considered. The proposed culturological approach would open broad research perspectives, as it focuses on the routine professional practices of Ukrainian artists. It allows to capture and analyze the subtle personal and social “adjustments” of the era, to resolve the contradictions between conformism and nonconformism, to detect the repeated elements of culture.

The Musical and The Visual in Cinema: Autonomy and Synthesis
Authors: Kharchenko Polina
Published: December 2021

The article considers some stages of theoretical understanding and practice of the use of music in feature cinema since the start of the development of sound cinema that were significant in the interaction of music with the visual in cinema. The analysis, in terms of their mutual interplay, historically unfolds in two directions. The first is a synthesis with a visual image based on the unification of a common idea and the subordination of music to the visual component of the film. The second is the acquisition of certain autonomy, independence in the general structure of the screen work. This process of communication owes a lot to the growing role of music in cinema and to the active use of modern compositional technologies in the creation of film music. Despite the popularity of film music, the importance of its use in films of the past and present, the issues of creative dialogue of music and screen in terms of autonomy and synthesis in a single work of art, in our opinion, are insufficiently studied. As a result of the research, the important aspects of creative dialogue of music and visual series in cinema are outlined. The characteristics of the processes of autonomy and synthesis that take place in films are highlighted. It is substantiated changes in filmmaking happen in the communicative interaction of the abovementioned processes. The existence of the principles of complementarity — synthesis and counterpoint or autonomy — between the musical and visual components in the system of drama of screen works has undergone various interpretations in its historical development. These processes in the evolution of cinema and until now mirror the needs of society, features of cultural development, as well as the filmmaking technologies.
The Figure of Dmitry Hnatyuk in Ukrainian Opera and Directing Practice
Authors: Bondarchiuk Viktor
Published: December 2021

The paper studies Dmytro Hnatyuk’s creative heritage with regard to the complex art and cultural factors that formed his personality as an outstanding opera singer, director, teacher, and public figure. Analysis of historical processes in the musical culture of Ukraine in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century reveals the origins of modern artistic phenomena in the national spiritual space, the essence of art in the context of the general discourse of the humanities. The aim of the research is to consider the directing activity of Dmytro Hnatyuk in the context of socio-cultural dynamics of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His work as an actor, singer, and stage director truly embodies his aesthetic credo, which influenced the further development and promotion of national musical culture. The multifaceted phenomenon of Dmytro Hnatyuk’s creativity includes such concepts as a singer, actor, director, teacher. Theatre had a conceptual significance in the life of the artist: it was in the process of stage activity that he understood the aesthetic essence of opera singing and directing.
Dmytro Hnatyuk’s directing activity covers a significant part of his creative biography and is a milestone in the context of artistic self-actualization and public, social, and pedagogical achievements. His directorial productions clearly trace the systemic continuity in the content of the works, in their conceptual comprehension; also, artistic drama and theatrical and artistic innovations are included. Today there is a need to identify the Ukrainian spiritual heritage, its essential and unique mental features. Dmytro Hnatyuk made a major contribution to the global recognition of Ukrainian opera by his stage productions marked with national uniqueness and identity.
Casus Turkeltaub: Action Pattern
Authors: Klekovkin Olexander
Published: December 2021

Isaac Turkeltaub, the most prolific Ukrainian theater critic in the mid-1920s, has increasingly drawn the attention of researchers in recent years, including the author’s contributions. Thus, Turkeltaub gradually grew from a minor into the main character whose activities mirrored the features of the theatrical culture of the era and its cultural scenarios. The paper analyzes Turkeltaub’s public action pattern and the forms of his creative activity, some episodes of which were documented in the periodicals. The turn of theatrical studies from the evaluation of “top-notch” artistic figures and performances to the study of a theatrical culture increasingly insists on interest in one of the components of the theatrical process of the twentieth century—theatrical criticism, which is considered, on the one hand, as an instrument of influence on the theatrical process and one of the sources for the history of theater.

Authors: SYDORENKO Andriy
Published: December 2021

The article examines the circumstances of the founding of the Association of Revolutionary Art of Ukraine (ARMU), its program principles and significance in the history of Ukrainian art in the second half of the 1920s — early 1930s. The cultural and political reasons and consequences of the introduction of the NEP, Ukrainization, collectivization and reform of art education in the Ukrainian SSR, as well as the changes that took place after the transfer of power in the USSR from V. Lenin to J. Stalin were analyzed. It was found that the ARMU was founded against the background of intensifying competition between left and right wings of art, as well as the emergence of branches of the Russian associations AHRR (Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia) and LEF (Left Front of Art) in the Ukrainian SSR. It is shown how the connection of the ARMU with the Kyiv Art Institute (KKhI), its rector, teachers and students influenced the formation of a broad program of this association, which proclaimed the equality of all types of fine arts and design. It is analyzed how the resolutions of the Communist Party and the peculiarities of cultural policy in the field of fine arts in the Ukrainian SSR during the time of O. Shumsky and M. Skrypnyk influenced the activities of art associations and the ARMU in particular. The statements of the ideologists of the ARMU I. Vrona and V. Sedlyar about the realism and activity of the Russian association of the AKhRR in the Ukrainian SSR are analyzed. The consequences of the collapse of the NEP and Ukrainization, with the fight against formalism on the fate of the ARMU and its members were revealed.

Noosphere-space direction of development of Ukraine and the world
Authors: KLIMENKO Alexander
Published: December 2021

The article considers the original conept of the transition to noosphere-space thinking in the cultural-informational space of Ukraine, and the idea of a New Noosphere-Space Art. The importance of the noosphere-space direction of development in today’s realities is substantiated. quotes from thinkers, scientists and poets are cited to support research statement, emphasizing the inclination of the Ukrainian ethnos to this path. It is proposed to adopt a new pantheon of personalities, significant for Ukraine, who could become inspirational symbols. Three figures should become such symbols: Grigory Skovoroda, Vladimir Vernadsky, Kazimir Malevich. The article can be considered both research and a kind of creative manifesto of the artist.
On the crisis of criticism and public art
Authors: Protas Maryna
Published: December 2021

At the turn of the millennia, the politically unbiased analytical thought of the world describes the total humanitarian entropy, which has unsafely plunged the theory and practice of art into a deep crisis. Accordingly, academic scientists, and primarily philosophers and culturologists, as well as art historians who have not lost their independent critical thinking ability, are consolidating into an ever-increasing front of those analysts who resist the current situation, because they tend to see behind the superficial statistics of a sharply increasing number of glossy magazines, exhibition reviews and other printed materials, including circulations of ordinary booklets that massively accompany any art projects of all kinds of galleries or public art actions, which go to significant investment funds from private foundations and centers — the premature death of art criticism, which, in the figurative expression of James Elkins, has become “like a trackless thicket, tangled with with unanswered questions”. Artistic practitioners, accustomed to servile survival in the conditions of the global art market, which imposes the rules for the production of a creative product solely in their own interests, are in a state of crisis no less severe than criticism. Manipulative interpretations of the concept of publicity, as well as the orientation of public art towards the function of socio-political and socio-educational regulatory action, like a mediator between society and power, legitimizes and strongly supports the phenomenology of things. Without a transcendental goal, the reification of the community’sthinking leads to a slide of creative consciousness and formal vocabulary of art expression to the level of kitsch, which was sharply criticized back in 1939 by Clement Greenberg. The fetishization of an art object as a commodity contributes to the steady cultivation of an instrumentalized consciousness by artists. Public visual practices, formally inheriting the idea of dissolving in the stream of everyday life, first proclaimed by the historical avant-garde, actually dissolve in consumerism, turning art objects into objectified political and sociocultural invectives, or, according to D. Lukacs’ terminology, such invectives that have undergone the process of reification. Meanwhile, visual public projects also actively use conceptualized clichés in the form of neutral abstract design objects, where the dominant criterion of conformity to the spirit of the times as quasi-modernity is the uncommonness of an innovative solution to lexical expression. The phenomenology of a thing legitimizes any experimentation, but it is not able to overcome the deepening crisis of theory and practice, drawing the cultural and artistic existence of society into a prolonged state of hysteresis. Analysts see the only way out of this situation in the return to the culture of the theory and practice of the traditions of Kantian-Hegelian philosophy, and in particular the postulates of transcendental aesthetics.
Alexandra Ekster’s Contribution to Ukrainian and World Art Culture
Authors: TURCHAK Lesia
Published: December 2021

The work of Ukrainian artists who have contributed to Ukrainian and international art, is not sufficiently disclosed. Their creative search impresses with versatility, interesting decision, continues to impress and inspire contemporaries. Purpose of the article — to find out the contribution of the Ukrainian avant-garde artist, set designer, teacher Oleksandra Ekster, to the Ukrainian and international fine arts. Oleksandra Ekster’s work has been the subject of research for decades. Scientists are interested in the painter’s art search, her contribution to Ukrainian avant-garde, scenography reforms, and teaching activity. Some sources may state that Ekster is a representative of Russian avant-garde. However, the artist grew up in Kyiv, obtained art education and promoted with her work not only Ukrainian but world avant-garde as well. The research of modern scientists (H. Kovalenko, D. Horbachova, T. Filevska, N. Stoliarchuk, M. Yur and others) makes it possible to review the artist’s life and artistic journey as well as her contribution to art history. The research methodology consists of a range of methods: historical, biographical, theoretical. The abovementioned methodological approach allows studying the question of historical data relating to the events in Ukraine that led to the emigration waves, finding out certain biographical facts and analyzing the artist’s creative activity.
Red flower apple in the collection of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine

Apple trees with red flowers are especially attractive during the flowering period, making ones a desirable component of ornamental plantings. 30 samples of apple trees with anthocyanin organ coloring in the collection of Scientific Laboratory "Genetic resources, introduction, and breeding of unusual fruit and ornamental crops", located in Agronomic Research Station of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine have been studied. In 2001 phenological observations during blooming and morphometric analysis of flowers and leaves were carried out, also decorativeness was evaluated. The dominant gene that controls the anthocyanin pigmentation of organs in the apple tree comes from Malus niedzwetzkyana. Now the rank of this taxon is reduced to a variety – M. domestica var. niedzwetzkyana. Niedzvetzky’s apple was involved in crossing with small-fruited apple species to develop ornamental hybrids, some of which received nothospecies names, and in the breeding of fruit varieties and rootstocks of M. domestica. According to the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, varieties with anthocyanin-colored petals having in the pedigree M. domestica var. niedzwetzkyana can be distinguished as Malus Niedzwetzkyana Group. If the Malus Niedzwetzkyana Group is supplemented with varieties with anthocyanin color of petals that originate from other species of apple trees, e.g., M. halliana and M. spectabilis, then the expanded Group can be called Malus Purpurea Group. At the same time, some varieties may belong to other Groups, in particular, Malus Pendula Group, Malus Redflesh Group, etc. The highest decorativeness (5 points) during blooming is inherent for the samples Nos. 2332 'Makamik', 2947, 3100 'Aldenhamensis', 3157 'Pionerka', 3305, 3382, 3540, 3592, 3601, 3603, 3656, 3691, 3692, 4292 and hybrids '17-279', '17-316', '18-275', '18-293', '18-325'. The samples No. 1723 'Lawn Krasnolepestnaya', 3314 'Royalty', 3375 'Black Pearl' are slightly inferior to them in decorativeness, but they have a special habitus or intense anthocyanin color of the leaves, which gives them certain advantages. The use of these samples allows you to establish a conveyor of elongated flowering of red-flowered apple trees at green construction sites.

In the plant body, phenolic compounds nonspecifically affect the processes of morphogenesis and perform a wide range of regulatory and protective functions. Of particular interest are the processes involved in the complexation of flavonoids as a result of their interaction with ammonium forms of nitrogen. Polar compounds, which are formed in tissues as a result of chemical transformation, are quite mobile in soil solutions and show high biological activity. The properties of phenol-ammonium complexes are of considerable interest in terms of morphogenesis, physiology of stability, as well as in the system of interaction of plants with soil microorganisms. Studies of the effect of phenol-ammonium complex were performed on seeds and seedlings of Scots pine. Quantitative indicators of germination energy and germination were determined by seed germination. Biochemical profiling of seedling tissue extracts was performed by high-performance thin layer chromatography. It has been experimentally confirmed that rutin (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside) after interaction with 10% aqueous ammonia solution forms a complex of substances, among which the chromatography revealed polar products that potentially affect the regulation of growth. At a total concentration of 15 mg/l, these substances significantly increased germination energy and seed germination. In pine seedlings, they stimulated the growth of roots and shoots. The effect of the complex of organic compounds on seedlings depended on the concentration, duration of seed treatment and had a prolonged effect. The obtained phenol-ammonium complex at a concentration of 10-15 mg/l contributed to an increase in the amount of chlorophylls, carotenoids in the tissues of seedlings, and at 20-40 mg/l increased the content of phenolic synthesis products.
