Authors: Shumilina Olga
Published: September 2024

The article examines the creative activity of the outstanding Ukrainian artist Dmytro Bortnyanskyi as an opera composer. The focus is on the operas of his Italian creative period (1768 - 1779) - Creont (1776, Venice), Alcides (1778, Venice) and Quintus Fabius (1779, Modena). The happy modern stage fate of the opera "Alkid" is indicated, its score was published in Kyiv in 1985. The found manuscript of the score by Dmytro Bortnyansky's first opera "Creont" provides new opportunities for studying the artist's work, this score was considered to be lost for a long time; after establishing the location of the score in one of the archives of the Portuguese city of Lisbon, its copy was brought to Ukraine. The history of transfers of the surviving manuscripts of Dmytro Bortnyanskyi's opera works was studied, in addition, the author analyzes the plot, structure and musical dramaturgy of the opera "Creont". The author uses a combination of scientific methods to achieve the goal of investigation, in particular: the source method — for searching and analyzing contemporary handwritten and printed sources; the historical method — to establish historical and cultural parallels in the study of Dmytro Bortnyanskyi's opera heritage and to outline prospects for further study of the specified issues; theoretical method — for the systematization of musical and stylistic factors of the study of the musical text of the opera "Creont" and the creation of certain generalizations. The study determines the numerical structure of the two-act opera "Creont", the plot of which is based on the tragedy "Antigone" by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles. It is noted that the main conflict of Dmitry Bortnyanskyi's opera takes place between the king of Thebes, Creont, and Antigone, the daughter of the deceased king Oedipus (compared to the tragedy of Sophocles, the ending in the opera is changed from tragic to happy — all the characters remain alive, Antigone becomes the queen of Thebes and wins in the confrontation with by Creont). It is emphasized that the preserved score of the opera "Creont" provides grounds for a deeper understanding of Dmytro Bortnyanskyi's opera heritage and the composer's achievements in the genre of Italian opera, and that an important task is the production of this opera in Ukraine, in the composer's homeland
THE PIANO PHENOMENON IN KARMELLA TSEPKOLENKO’S CREATIVITY: FROM CONTENT TO RECORD
Authors: Andriyevska-Bodenchuk Tatiana
Published: September 2024

The study is focused on the main works of the piano creativity by Carmella Tsepkolenko. This concerns her Concerto-drama No. 1 and Concerto-drama No. 2 for piano and orchestra, which are seen as one megastructure that is open to further continuation. The compositional techniques used in them are described. It has been found that the presentation of musical material by means of modern notation gives the performer the opportunity to more clearly define his own attitude to the work and opens wide prospects for a unique interpretation. The role of the piano in Carmella Tsepkolenko's work is emphasized as a leading tool for searching for new means of self-expression and communication with the listener. It has been established that the rejection in avant-garde music of traditionally established principles of notation and changes in the organization of sound material, as well as its presentation on paper, took place under the influence of deep crisis phenomena of the 20th century and changes in society's consciousness. Emphasis is placed on the inevitability of establishing empathic connections between the author and the performer, taking into account the specifics of the presentation of the musical material. It was established that Carmella Tsepkolenko's individual compositional style is characterized by the use of not only traditional means of notation, but also the wide use of such types of modern compositional techniques as atonality, aleatorics, pointillism, sonoristics. The main feature of the composer's individual compositional style is characterized — the presence of obligatory scenario development of each work. The general orientation of Carmella Tsepkolenko's work towards theatricality in music of all genres is emphasized. It is proven that in order to create a convincing artistic image, the author sometimes turns to the artistic medium so-called Performance, which requires certain acting skills from the performer. The expediency of using a performing gesture as a special artistic tool that enhances the emotional impact on the listener is substantiated. Emphasis is placed on the need for performers to familiarize themselves with the basics of modern musical notation in educational institutions.

Published: September 2024

Objective: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) examinations are performed to diagnose blood vessel anomalies. However, this examination results in a significant radiation dose being received by the patient. Local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are necessary for determining the extent of radiation dose during examinations. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to establish local DRL values for CTA examinations.Material and Methods: In this study, a total of 213 participants underwent CTA examination; wherein: 67 underwent computed tomography (CT) cerebral angiography (CTCA), 80 underwent CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA), 40 underwent CT lower limb angiography with aortogram (CTLLA), and 26 underwent CT upper limb angiography (CTULA). Body mass index along with the circumference of the body were calculated. A number of dose descriptors; such as computed tomography dose index volume (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP), were collected, and DLP was used to calculate the effective dose, using the conversion factor.Results: For the angiography phase, CTCA, CTPA, CTLLA, and CTULA had median CTDIvol values of: 31.62, 6.38, 12.16, and 10.12 mGy, respectively. Median DLP and effective dose for CTCA were: 1388.64 mGy*cm & 4.30 mSv, CTPA were 243 mGy*cm & 3.41 mSv, CTLLA were 1855.86 mGy*cm & 12.06 mSv, and CTULA were 945.98 mGy*cm & 2.93 mSv, respectively. Conclusion: The estimated local DRLs were lower than the international standard for the angiographic phase; however, the dose exceeded the international standard when the entire examination was considered. This study revealed the need for dose optimization in CTA examinations.

The limited dorsiflexion at the ankle joint is characterized by Equinus deformity. It has a large impact on mobility and functionality at all ages. Usually, Achilles tendon stretching and Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFOs) are used as a treatment but have low efficiency and flexibility. Frequently adjustment to AFOs required through dynamic foot positioning makes this treatment very expensive due to repeated molding. An experimental research design was used to measure plantar flexion angles with a goniometer at many follow-ups. This research showed that a decreased plantar flexion angle, this study indicated the effectiveness of locally made adjustable ankle joints. Developing an adjustable ankle joint addresses both the practical and economic challenges of traditional orthotic treatments. This innovation not only provides clinical outcomes but also expands the opportunity to care for patients with equinus deformity. This adjustable joint gives a flexible and cost-effective solution and improves the management of equinus deformity.

This paper considers discrete time-invariant systems (with constant parameters) described by dynamic models in the presence of exogenous disturbances. For such systems, the problem of estimating unknown inputs using interval observers is studied. The solution is based on a minimal-dimension disturbance-insensitive model of the original system. For this model, an interval observer is designed and then used to estimate the unknown inputs. The theoretical results are illustrated with a practical example.

Restoration of stand on the site of burnt spruce forest in the Central Forest reserve
Authors: Pukinskaya M. Yu.
Published: September 2024

With the warming of the climate, the intensification of droughts and the drying up of coniferous forests, the number of forest fires is also increasing. Therefore, the study of the post-fire dynamics of stands and prospects for reforestation on burnt areas is especially relevant. The research was carried out in the Central Forest State Natural Biosphere Reserve (southern taiga) on the burnt area formed in 1999 as a result of a thunderstorm. The purpose of the work was: to describe the state of vegetation 22 years after burnout; to find out the characteristics of the stand formed on the burnt area and the possibility of their use for reconstructing the history of disturbancies in old spruce forests. The objectives of the study included: monitoring vegetation changes in the 1999 burnt area; studying the growth of spruce undergrowth in the burnt area; finding out the number and ratio of preliminary and subsequent renewal of tree species; analyzing the distribution and amount of coals in the sample plots (depending on the intensity of burnout and the state of the pre-fire stand). To study the state of vegetation after the burnout of the blueberry-wood sorrel and wood sorrel – nemoral-herb spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) forests, 14 sample plots (100 m2 each) were laid in the northwestern part of the burnt area. The sample plots covered 1.5 hectares. 22 years after the fire, a mixed small-leaved forest with a predominance of birch and a significant participation of spruce has been forming on the site of burnt spruce forests. Spruce is represented mainly by post-fire renewal. In the undergrowth, the ratio of pre- and post-renewal spruce is about 1 : 3. In the ground cover, a small number of nemoral herb species is recorded, and in the stand and undergrowth – almost complete absence of broad-leaved species. A lot of coals were found in soil digs in 4 sample plots (30%); there were no coals in 3 (20%) sample plots, and small coals in small amount were found in 7 (50%) sample plots.
Assessing the possibilities of identifying the first post-fire generation of spruce in old stands, it must be said that none of the characteristics of a post-fire spruce stand is universal for its recognition. Only a set of features allows to identify the history of the stand. Distinctive features of the first post-old generation: the presence of coals in 30% of samples or more; a large admixture of birch and aspen; a large diversity of the aspen part of the stand; if there are broad-leaved species, they will be much younger than the spruce; the presence of a sharp decline, and then a rise in growths in a significant part of the oldest spruce trees; the main generation of spruce has initial radial growths on an average of 2.1 mm/year, and the absence of synchronous sharp rises of the growths at the beginning of life.
The age of aspen most accurately corresponds to the year of the fire.

This research explores the potential of gastronomic tourism in the Lake Toba region of Indonesia, focusing on the unique culinary identity and traditions of the Batak tribe. Batak culinary practices are firmly rooted in local traditions and environmental conditions, with major traditional foods and drinks such as Tuak, Na Niura, and Mie Gomak having strong cultural values. Currently, Lake Toba gastronomic tourism has not become a leading tourism destination. The purpose of this study is to examine how environmental and cultural factors affect local cuisine and beverages in the Lake Toba region and to identify challenges and opportunities in promoting these gastronomic assets effectively. This qualitative research uses interviews, observations, and documentation to collect data. Key stakeholders, including local business owners and Batak cultural experts were interviewed using non-probability snowball sampling to gain comprehensive insights into the region's culinary identity. The results of the study highlight the cultural significance and potential tourist attraction of traditional Batak food and beverages. However, challenges such as tourists' lack of knowledge about local cuisine were identified. The study shows that a more structured and strategic approach, including annual food festivals and culinary tours, is needed to increase the demand for Lake Toba's Gatronomi tourism. This study underscores the need for an annual Lake Toba Gastronomy festival to utilize local culinary heritage, thereby increasing cultural preservation and tourism development in the Lake Toba region.

BACKGROUND: Agile leadership is a critical factor in contemporary organizational dynamics, significantly influencing employee outcomes. Despite its growing importance, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the impact and the research trends. OBJECTIVE: This research aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to explore the existing literature on agile leadership and its relationship with employee outcomes. METHODS: Data was collected from the Scopus scientific database, focusing on publications from 2010 to May 2024. Using the keywords “agile”, “leadership”, and “agile leadership”, 278 relevant documents were identified and analyzed with VOSviewer software. The data on publications, years, subject areas, authors, journals, institutions, and countries were examined by applying bibliometric analysis. RESULTS: The analysis showed a steady increase in publications on agile leadership, particularly in the last decade. The key research clusters included the impact of agile leadership on interpersonal communication, trust, teamwork effectiveness, job satisfaction, decision-making process, and sustainable innovation in digital transformation. Prominent journals, influential authors, and frequently cited articles were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Agile leadership was increasingly recognized for its valuable impact on employee outcomes. Agile leadership became a catalyst for enhancing interpersonal communication, building trust, improving teamwork effectiveness, increasing job satisfaction, streamlining decision-making processes, and enhancing sustainable innovation for successful digital transformation.

Authors: Hozez Yaniv
Published: September 2024

In this paper, we introduce a novel neural network architecture termed Nested Neural Networks (NNN), which incorporates nested layers within a more complex overarching structure. The architecture leverages the concept of internal and external conditions, akin to linguistic structures like Future Perfect and Future Perfect Progressive in English grammar, to create a flexible and deep model. This architecture allows the network to handle complex data patterns with enhanced computational efficiency and memory savings. We demonstrate the effectiveness of NNNs through experiments on benchmark datasets, showcasing their ability to outperform traditional models in terms of accuracy, training efficiency, and adaptability.

Under laboratory conditions, a novel composition comprising ND-12, Gossypol resin, and isopropanol in a ratio of 4:1.5:0.5, denoted as A-3, was investigated for the first time. Its efficacy in the demulsification of Muradkhanli and Umbaki heavy oil samples, with emulsion degrees of 41% and 31% respectively, was studied, along with its effects on freezing point, dynamic viscosity, and corrosion rate in hydrogen sulfide reservoir water. The optimal concentration of the reagent was determined to be 600 g/t. Over a two-hour period, the demulsification of Muradkhanli oil was conducted at 400C, 500C, and 600C, and of Umbaki oil at 400C, 500C, 600C, and 700C. The minimum amount of ballast water, with optimal composition thickness participation, was observed at 600C for Muradkhanli oil and 700C for Umbaki oil, constituting 0.1% and 0.13%, respectively. The freezing temperature of Muradkhanli oil decreased from +12.50C to +50C, and Umbaki oil from +110C to +40C due to the optimal viscosity effect of A-3 composition. At +200C, with 600 g/t of composition A-3, the dynamic viscosity of Muradkhanli oil decreased from 201 Pas to 111 Pas and from 1540 Pas to 237 Pas for emulsion degrees of 0.0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 41%. At +400C, the dynamic viscosity of Umbaki oil decreased from 182 Pas to 64 Pas and from 1183 Pas to 163 Pas for emulsion degrees of 0.0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, and 31%. Furthermore, A-3 composition exhibited higher efficiency in affecting the corrosion rate in hydrogen sulfide formation water compared to its constituent Gossypol resin. While the corrosion protection effect of Gossypol resin at optimal concentrations was 90%, A-3 composition reached 98%. These results indicate the complex and synergistic effects of the A-3 composition due to its constituent components. In conclusion, numerous laboratory tests revealed that the A-3 composition, comprising ND-12 demulsifier, corrosion agent Gossypol resin, and isopropanol solvent, is suitable for the demulsification, freezing point reduction, and dynamic viscosity adjustment of heavy oils such as Muradkhanli and Umbaki, as well as for effectively influencing corrosion rates in acidic environments. Therefore, the application of the new A-3 composition is recommended as an economically and ecologically efficient reagent for demulsification and transportation of heavy oils in mining conditions, as well as for corrosion protection of internal surfaces of transportation preparation facilities.

In this work, a previously unknown aldazine, N'-[4-((E)-{(2Z)-[(12-{[(1E)-(dimethylamino)methylene]amino]amino}-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]xanthene-4-yl)methylene]hydrazone}methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]xanthene-12-yl]-N,N-dimethylimidoforma-mide was synthesized by reacting the corresponding aldehyde with hydrazine hydrate. The spectral characteristics of the two azomethine dyes were studied: N,N-dimethyl-N'-{4-[(E)-(phenylimino)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-xanthen-9-yl}imidoformamide and N'-[4-((E)-{(2Z)-[(12-{[(1E)-(dimethylamino)methylene]amino]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]xanthen-4-yl)methy-lene]hydrazono}methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]xanthen-12-yl]-N,N-dimethylimidoformamide. Both dyes exhibit a bathochromic shift in their absorption maxima at lower pH levels. The observed deepening of the color can be attributed to the protonation of the azomethine nitrogen atom and the change in the hybridization of the orbital that carries the unpaired electron pair of the azomethine nitrogen atom, switching from the sp2 orbital to the unhybridized p-orbital, which is capable of conjugation with the xanthene fragment. The color of N,N-dimethyl-N'-{4-[(E)-(phenylimino)methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-xanthen-9-yl}imidoformamide changes from yellow to red as the pH decreases, while the color of N'-[4-((E)-{(2Z)-[(12-{[(1E)-(dimethylamino)methylene]amino]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]xanthen-4-yl)methylene]hydrazono}methyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b]xanthen-12-yl]-N,N-dimethylimidoformamide shifts from red to blue. The synthesized dyes have potential as pH indicators in acidic environments. These dyes demonstrate a color change not only in response to pH reduction but also in the presence of transition metal salts.
