Authors: Katyuk Anatoliy
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The experiments were conducted at Samara Research Institute of Agriculture, a branch of the SamSC RAS in 2018–2020. The purpose of the research. Evaluation of promising lines of peas from the competitive variety trial nursery for the nutritional quality of seeds to create new varieties for the Middle Volga region. Methodology and methods of research. The material for the study was 6 promising lines of peas. The nutritional quality of the lines were evaluated according to the following characteristics: the protein content and composition in the seeds, the boiling time of the seeds, the seed cooking coefficient, and the taste of the boiled seeds. The peas grew and developed in dry (2018–2019) and moderate (2020) weather conditions. Results. The protein content in the seeds of the lines was determined by external environmental factors, especially the weather conditions during the bean filling phase. The seeds accumulated more protein when the weather was dry during the bean filling. The protein content of seeds had a positive correlation (r = 0.944) with the average daily air temperature, and a negative correlation (r = 0.986) with precipitation during the bean filling phase. On average, the lines had the same protein content as the Samarius standard but corresponded to the standard value of high-quality varieties (not less than 24.0 %). The following lines had the same seed protein content as the standard (25.6 %): B3737/2-2 (25.2 %), Kt6575 (25.8 %), Kt6358 (24.9 %). These lines contained a large amount of water-soluble protein fraction in comparison with the standard: Kt6575 (16.9 %), Kt6358 (16.6 %), and B3737/2-2 (16.9 %). B3737/2-2 and Kt6575 showed high cooking quality (seed boiling time 110–122 minutes, seed cooking coefficient 2.5–2.6). All lines had a good taste of boiled seeds equal to 4–5 points. Scientific novelty. B3737/2-2, Kt6575, Kt6358 have been suggested to be used as sources of new varieties for their high cooking quality.

Authors: Fedotova A
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The article provides an adapted methodology of absorbed dose calculation for the cattle from the territories with long-term man-made contamination. The methodology was developed according to existing regulatory documents in the RF: veterinarian rules VR 13.73.13/12-00, VR 13.5.13/03-00, methodical instructions MI 13.5.13-00, regulation for the state veterinarian control system in radioactive contamination of veterinary surveillance objects in the Russian Federation. The aim of the work is the development of calculation methodology of absorbed radiation doses for the cattle on the territory with long-term man-made isotopes contamination, taking to the account the radionuclide composition of the soil. Methods. The regulatory documents governing absorbed doses calculation has been analyzed; the contribution of external and internal radiation into total annual absorbed dose has been determined. Results. It has been established, that the calculation of external radiation dose needs to be done considering doses in stable and pasture periods. Pasture period dose is a sum of day and night doses considering day length. According to the data of radio ecological situation in Krasnoyarsk krai the internal radiation dose should be calculated as a sum of 137Cs, 90Sr, 60Co, taking to the account different concentration of these radionuclides in green and coarse fodder. Scientific novelty. The methodology of dose calculation for the cattle according to the radio ecological situation in Krasnoyarsk krai has been introduced for the first time. Practical significance. This methodology is recommended for the specialists of radiological departments of veterinarian laboratories and science officers in the field of agricultural radiobiology.

Authors: Guschenskaya N. , Sumarokova Marina , Kovshova Alina
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to comprehensively assess the resource potential of agricultural organizations in the Kurgan region to form the trajectory of their development and determine the contribution to agricultural production in the region. Methods. The study was based on the use of statistical and econometric methods for collecting, processing, modeling data. It is based on the assessment of the use of the following functional components of the resource potential: land, material and technical, personnel, innovation and financial. At the same time, the dynamic assessment for each subspecies of the resource potential gives an idea of the trend in the volume and level of resource use, and the stochastic assessment – to identify the relationship between the indicators of resource investment and their return. Results. The presented assessment of the existing relationships between the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the resource potential and its subspecies indicate, on the one hand, an acute shortage of certain types of resources, and, on the other hand, an increasing intensity of their use without a proportional level of return. The study allows us to conclude that it is necessary to develop levers for managing the resource potential of agricultural organizations based on the symbiosis of the needs of agricultural producers and the territory in which they operate. Scientific novelty. The research methodology allows combining several methods of assessing (dynamic and stochastic) in achieving the final result, as well as assessing the elasticity between the general level of resource productivity of agricultural organizations and indicators of the efficiency of using the main types of resources. This approach makes it possible to form a sequence of actions to ensure an increase in the level of development and use of the resource potential of agricultural organizations.

Published: December 2021

This interdisciplinary research has the playful art as a tool to raise awareness about the conservation of sharks and the environmental health of the Ocean, in addition to the search for the demystification of some concepts bringing to light the biological and ecological importance that this emblematic group represents for the natural balance of the Blue Planet. In the months of June and July 2018 at the visiting aquarium in Paraíba, a space for the propagation of non-formal environmental education, it was sought through the theatrical play "Swimming in Safety, a Sea of Hope" to apply the way of doing and teaching the concepts of sustainability and environmental preservation since the choice of the team, the actors and scenographic materials. Through exploratory and participant research, photographic and video records, we investigated the reactions of the audience before, during and after the play. The evaluation process was permanent in order to make constant improvements. The play tried to highlight not only information about the characteristics and importance of preserving sharks, but also the main threats such as the practice of finning, which through a plot between the pirate and the shark and the echinoderms, it was possible to explain the defence systems that each being has, all of which are important, showing that sharks are worth much more alive than dead. The expertise and performance of artistic activities such as juggling, magic and balance contributed to the success of the play. The results prove that this type of multidisciplinary experience, which promotes learning through enchantment, should be encouraged because it will certainly constitute a basis for future attitudes, especially in children, since they will feel encouraged to protect nature, according to the premises of the Decade of Oceanic Science and Ecological Restoration.

Pisco: An endless conflict for its geographical indication or an opportunity for international collaboration?
Authors: Tisne Jorge
Published: December 2021

Pisco is a brandy produced from the distillation of wine, which is indissolubly linked to the history and national identity of Chile and Peru. The rivalry over the pisco’s geographical indication (GI) has a long history, mainly grounded on political claims rather than practical reasons. The article examines the historical background of the animosity, the arguments of each party to support their position and the impacts of the current international GI protection of the product (both from a financial and legal perspective). We conclude that a cross-border protection, allowing a joint binational exploitation of the spirit’s GI, is the best commercial strategy to increase the recognition and value of pisco in the international markets, which in turn, would benefit local economies and producers and notably encourage the cultural integration of both nations.
Visual turn as an interpretive model of stage synthesis of arts in the culture of the XX–XXI century

Visual turn as an interpretive model of stage synthesis of arts in the culture of the XX–XXI century
Purpose of the Article. The research is related to the definition of visual and virtual dimensions of the interpretation of fashion activity as a certain communicative scene. The research methodology is to apply a retrospective analysis of visual patterns in the stage space of everyday culture. The scientific novelty of the work is that the scene is perceived by the recipient as an optical phenomenon, has a wide space in which the actor of action or event performs certain communicative acts verbally and optically. The components of this synthesis plastically, gesturally, verbally-dramatically and optically-visually present a whole selection of arts that form a stage synthesis. Drama is verbalized as a plastic behavior, where the action, movements determine the high space of mise-en-scène of the tank, which testifies to both the expressive arts known since ancient Greek chorea and the visual-optical patterns. Thus, in the context of visual rotation, ocular centrism is actualized - trust in the picture. Conclusions. It should be noted that there is an artistic critique of the media, producers, galleries, magazines, that is, a space of unification and adequate representation of various art phenomena is formed. It is not the artists themselves, the actors of the big stage, the producers of the great culture of everyday life who live a full life, but those who create art events, local scenes of the presentation. Visual research tends to eclecticism, which turns into a polymorphic set of discourses, which indicates that you need to find a comfort zone, certain attractions of everyday culture. Without them, the realization of a modern art product is no longer possible. Advertising management, imageology are presented in society as an indirect reality, similar to virtual technology. Imagination as a video presentation becomes a problem of interpretation, a problem of vision. Visual culture tries to rehabilitate the image and determine its meaning without a name, without a name. Such a culture without a name leads to the fact that researchers are beginning to determine only what has a name. Art history describes the relationships between objects, chronological order, movement, formal preferences, and iconographic data. Needless to say, the work of art in this case remains an individual creation, a special source of life, and a social text. The culture of everyday life in the context of visual rotation is simultaneously a text, an image, a stage artifact, a pattern, and a flash image.
Key words: culture, culture of everyday life, stage synthesis of culture of everyday life, image, visual turn.

Authors: Akimov Dmytro
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article. Research and analysis of algorithms of marketing technologies in the art market by studying the motivations of symbolic consumers of fine arts, namely, individuals who consume products of fine arts through symbolic appropriation. The research methodology is to apply comparative, empirical, and theoretical methods. This methodological approach allows us to analyze the motivations of symbolic consumers of works of art with the subsequent use of research results in the marketing processes of promoting works of art in the art market. The scientific novelty lies in the expansion of ideas about the motivations of symbolic consumers of the fine arts market and in the study of further marketing processes in it. The article analyzes the algorithms of marketing technologies in the analysis of motivations of symbolic consumers of the fine arts market. The article establishes that in the marketing of fine arts it is relevant and necessary to study the behavior of symbolic consumers of works of art as Individuals through the analysis of types of symbolic Consumers, as well as through the analysis of situations of symbolic consumption of works of art as a symbolically appropriated Product at the art market while viewing works of art in exhibition halls. Based on research in the field of art market marketing, we can say that artistic creativity is an area of activity of non-profit public and private museums, gallery and exhibition institutions, as well as large and small businesses, which should professionally analyze consumer motivations, which in turn makes it possible to highly segment consumers of works of fine art in accordance with their motivations. Conclusions. The article defines and analyzes the model of consumption of fine arts by symbolic appropriation, and, accordingly, describes the group (segment) of consumers. We are talking about symbolic consumption, which is associated with the possibility of obtaining aesthetic pleasure through the symbolic appropriation of the work without material possession. It is also proved that consumer behavior in art marketing is determined by three mandatory components: Individual - Product - Situation. It is on these components that the types of motivation are formed, on which the model of consumption and consumer behavior is built. Thus, we have studied individuals who consume works of art, which in turn are products presented in exhibition halls, and we have studied the situations of consumption of works of art that are consumed by symbolic appropriation in exhibitions.
Key words: art market, marketing research, motivation of consumers of works of art, symbolic consumption of works of art, behavior of consumers of art market.
Visual art as a form of individualization of collective experience: Renaissance discourse
Authors: Chumachenko Olena
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article consists of exploring visual arts in the context of Renaissance discourse as a form of individualization of collective experience. The methodology consists of the application of analytical method – to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of visual art as a form of individualization of collective experience in the works of the Renaissance theorists: Alberti, G. Vasari, Marsilio Ficino, Lorenzo Valla, Pietro Pomponazzi; Renaissance artists – Giotto, Masaccio, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Santi, Titian; formalization method – to clarify visual art within the subject field of art history in the context of the culture of the Renaissance; method of comparative studies – for analyzing approaches to understanding the visual art as a form of individualization of collective experience. The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time the essence of visual art is a form of individualization of collective experience in the context of the Renaissance discourse. Conclusions. The article explores visual art in the context of the Renaissance discourse as a form of individualization of collective experience. Clarified the meaning of the concept of visual art and painting in the framework of the subject field of art history (concepts of A. Gabrichevsky, M. Kagan, V. Vlasov, A. Hildebrand). In the socio-cultural development of the Renaissance, there is an intensive process of individualization of the artist, and there is also a tendency to intensively turn to samples of ancient art, which testifies to the visual art as the brightest form of individualization of collective experience. In the context of comparative analysis, the concepts of Cennino D'Andrea Cennini, G. Vasari, Alberti, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Filarete, Piero Della Francesco, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean Peleren, Albrecht Dürer, Pietro Aretino, who described all the advantages of painting based on color, are considered; the Venetian artist Paolo Pino, author of Dialogue on Painting; Lodovico Dolci, author of Dialogue on Painting; the Tuscan writer A. Doni, who in his dialogue "About drawing" explained the priority of the Florentine tradition, in which the emphasis was on drawing, and not on coloring.

Performing transformation of the main role in the opera "Lucia di Lammermoor" by G. Donizetti
Authors: Chakhoian Susanna
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to trail regularities of vocal evolution which has formed the transition of stage operatic development from Rossini to Verdi and which has predetermined the performing tradition of Lucia‘s role in Donizetti’s opera “Lucia Lammermoor “(1835) by light coloratura soprano in the second half of XIX century until the present day. The methodology of the study is based on the intonation approach to interaction of music and spoken word in B. Asafiev”s school in Ukraine and which corresponds to the trend of hermeneutics research of the musicology study, as offered in works of L. Zima, E. Markova, A. Roshchenko. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by originality of historical approach to vocal intonation change which has been given birth by Italian romanticism in its dissociation from the R. Wagner approach and which has been accepted as leading approach in operatic performing tradition. This concept coincides with the author's independent analysis of the main heroine in Donizetti’s opera. Conclusion. The role of Lucia in Donizetti‘s opera with its particular style of libretto and manifestation of both femininity and outstanding power resulting in madness forms the parallel to preceding operatic images of hers as well as contemporary images in the days of Donizetti. The composer’s approach to F. Takkinardi-Persiani’s interpretation of this role, however, points to a presentiment of the replacement of "Rossini" soprano by lyrical coloratura in the operas of Gounod. Still this replacement drove the performing of the dramatic role of Lucia by "light" coloratura sopranos - from A. Patti to A. Galli-Kurci, from A. Nezhdanova to E. Miroshnichenko and last not least author of the essay in reference. It is sincerity and faithfulness to the beloved one rather than power of nature which determine the core values of Lucia, forming an analogy to heroines in psychodramas of V. Rebikov, whose genius as a treasure of the Ukraine South became a discovery at the musical theater nowadays. As a consequence ” Lucia di Lammermoor” continuously occupies a significant place in the repertoire of Ukrainian opera houses.
Directing as an artistic phenomenon of radical changes in the performing arts of the late 19th - early 20th centuries
Authors: Donchenko Nataliia
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article. Consideration of reformist ideas in the artistic and creative activity of innovator directors of the late XIX - early XX centuries as a radical artistic phenomenon that changed the whole theatrical process of performing arts. The methodology consists in the application of empirical, art history, analytical, axiomatic methods of research of the concept of directing as a professional activity that arose at the turn of two centuries and laid fundamental changes in the whole artistic process of the director and performer of theatrical form. The novelty lies in the empirical analysis of the paradigm of directing, its phenomenal ideas of the search for a radical reform of acting and the whole performing arts in general. Conclusions. The profession of a director is of particular interest on the way to its formation as well as any artistic phenomenon, which due to its scale at birth contains the maximum number of opportunities. The evolution of theatrical, spatio-temporal visual forms gave impetus to the emergence of grandiose changes in the entire stage system, as well as the realization of this fact by most theater figures. And today in the performing arts it is desirable to dominate the interest in the means of enhancing acting expressiveness, improving psychophysical technique. Modern filmmakers must seek and propose ways to expand acting, the power of its impact on the audience, namely, one or another means of merging experience and conscious reflection in the creative process, various principles of association in their relationship with the general concept of theatrical synthesis.
“A Sea Symphony” by R. Vaughan Williams and its literary source
Authors: Petrova Olga
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the artistic concept of “A Sea Symphony” by R. Vaughan Williams and the key role in its formation of the literary source of the work. The methodology of the work is based on the application of analytical, structural, comparative and intertextual methods, which makes it possible to expand the horizons of cognitive search and identify intertextual semantic connections within the studied phenomenon. The scientific novelty is that for the first time in Ukrainian musicology the literary source of “A Sea Symphony” by R. Vaughan Williams receives analytical coverage as an important component of the holistic artistic concept of the work. Conclusions. As a result of the work carried out, it was established that the poetic texts by W. Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass” became the literary source of the symphony. They are both separate poems of the poet and fragments from his poems. Combining them, the composer builds his own compositional and dramatic logic, subordinate to the idea of revealing the significance of the mythological image of the sea, which appears in the symphony as a polysemantic archetypal complex. Features of the composer's work with a poetic text, the validity of certain notes, replications, transpositions while maintaining and accentuating its key role in building the musical and artistic whole are revealed. The specificity and principles of the distribution of poetic texts between parts of the work, as well as vocal parties, solo and choral, are determined.

Summary. Aim: To evaluate the influence of dispersed fibrous carbon sorbent (DFCS) on malignant fungating wounds (MFWs) in Guerin’s carcinoma-bearing rats with an assessment of wound bacterial microflora. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on female Wistar rats inoculated subcutaneously with Guerin T8 carcinoma into the upper interscapular region. On day 20, the tumors were infected by injecting the suspension of S. aureus 8325-4. After 24 h, gauze dressings were applied daily to the wounds in the control group and DFCS in the experimental one. The state of the wounds was assessed by visual control with photo monitoring, odor control on a verbal rating scale and microbiological analysis of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of wound microbiota. Results: On the 3rd day after the start of dressings, the number of S. aureus of 8325-4 strain was significantly higher in the wounds of rats in control group than experimental one (5.14 ± 0.27 vs 3.43 ± 0.33 lg CFU/ml). The total number of Staphylococci in the DFCS-treated wounds did not differ statistically from the number of S. aureus 8325-4 strain whereas in control ones were higher by an order of magnitude. On the 10th day the total number of Staphylococci and S. aureus 8325-4 in particular, remained consistently high in the wounds of the control rats, while was almost five orders of magnitude lower and represented mainly by S. aureus 8325-4 in the experimental ones. The total number of aerobic and optionally anaerobic microorganisms was significantly lower as well. A greater variety of microorganisms in the gauze-covered wounds, as well as an their increased number were accompanied by enhancement of the wound odor from “noticeable” to “strong”. There was an appearance of a “barely noticeable” odor in only one animal from the experimental group. Conclusion: The study has demonstrated the ability of DFCS to control substantially the bacterial microflora as well as malodor of MWFs in vivo. The results obtained can contribute to solving the problem of improving the quality of palliative care for patients with malignant and other chronic wounds.

Published: December 2021

Summary. The aim of this study was to determine the rates of recurrences of stage I endometrial cancer (EC) and features of their localization depending on the clinical and pathological characteristics of the tumor and methods of patients’ treatment. Patients and Methods: The study included 968 patients with stage I endometrioid EC, who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Oncogynecology of the National Cancer Institute in 2015–2019. Surveillance of patients lasted from January 2015 to December 2020, with a minimum follow-up period of 1 year from the date of surgery. Adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy was performed depending on the clinical and pathological characteristics of the EC case. Results: During the follow-up period, recurrences were observed in 7.0% of cases and were most often found in stage IC of low differentiation grade. It was found that during surgical treatment without adjuvant therapy relapses occurred in 12–36 months after the start of treatment, with adjuvant radiation therapy — in 6–18 months, and with adjuvant chemotherapy — in 32–60 months. Recurrences most often occurred in patients with EC who underwent surgical treatment in combination with chemotherapy (p < 0.05). The lowest number of recurrences was recorded among patients who underwent surgery as an only treatment. The best 5-year survival rate was observed in the group of patients with surgical treatment (93%), and the worst — in the patients treated with combination of surgery and chemotherapy (57%). In patients without recurrences, the survival rate after treatment was 97%, while in patients diagnosed with relapses, the survival rate was 65%. Conclusion: Despite the predominantly favorable course of EC stage I, some patients develop relapses. The rate and localization of recurrences depend on the histological structure of the tumor and treatment regimens of the EC patients.

Authors: Studennikov A.E. , Glushkov A.N. , Ustinov V.A.
Published: December 2021

Summary. Aim of this study was to develop and apply an ELISA method for assessment of the levels of endogenous antibodies against benzo[a]pyrene (Bp) in blood sera of lung cancer (LC) patients. Materials and Methods: ELISA was developed and applied for the detection of endogenous idiotypic and anti-idiotypic antibodies against Bp in human blood sera using recombinant human idiotypic and anti-idiotypic antibodies against Bp. Results: Serum samples of LC patients (n = 22) and healthy donors (n = 24) were analyzed by the new method. Statistical analysis showed that in sera of LC patients the levels of endogenous idiotypic and anti-idiotypic antibodies against Bp were significantly higher than in healthy donors. A logistic regression model for the LC detection utilizing such predictors as the serum levels of idiotypic and anti-idiotypic antibodies against Bp, smoking status, and age, identified LC patients with 83% specificity and 82% sensitivity. Conclusion: The proposed method could be further developed as additional lung cancer screening tool.

This study was a quasi-experimental trial with a control group. The trial group participated in the marathon group on three consecutive days (36 hours) and weekly sessions for three weeks. Then the ego function evaluation questionnaire was simultaneously given to both groups. All ego functions in the trial group showed significant growth compared to the control group. Among these, the most remarkable statistical effect size was related to "Adaptive Regression in Service of the Ego" and "Stimulus barrier." The relationship between improving ego functions and mental health can be anticipated, and steps can be taken to promote the community’s mental health by using these groups.

Some myths of modern Ukrainian methodology of foreign language teaching as a science
Authors: Tarnopolsky Oleg
Published: December 2021

The paper gives evidence that the modern Ukrainian theory and methodology of foreign language teaching is quite rapidly developing as a science; however, its onward progress is somewhat “braked” by certain ungrounded convictions (“myths”), some of which originate from the times of the former Soviet Union. Three such myths were analyzed in the article as the ones that to the greatest extent retard the progressive development of the Ukrainian methodology: the myth that “methodology is exercises,” this is why every methodological research must necessarily be completed with elaborating a system (or subsystem) of relevant exercises; the myth that whatever is developed in a methodological study should be within the borders of one, and only one, broad, substantiated, and more or less universally recognized methodological approach; and the myth that only the most recent professional literature should be quoted and serve as the foundation for whatever methodological research. In the paper the distinction is drawn between learning activities in language learning and exercises as standardized and auxiliary components in the relevant teaching / learning system, and it is proven that every methodological research has to be completed with some practical result to be used in this system but that result may not necessarily be a system of exercises or even of learning activities. It is also demonstrated that the approaches elaborated in a methodological study do not obligatorily have to be within the framework of only one broad and recognized approach but, on the contrary, may combine the features of different approaches, even opposing each other, as long as they meet the principles of the principled pragmatism theory - those principles that allow to combine such features harmoniously. Finally, it is proven that the theory and methodology of language teaching is a science in which new knowledge does not abolish the preceding knowledge as obsolete. New knowledge is “built into” the preceding knowledge, thus creating a new system together with it. That is why in all the methodological studies it is impossible to use as the foundation only the recent research. The works published even decades ago must be taken into account (and quoted). The conclusion is made that getting rid of the existing “methodological myths” will considerably accelerate and improve the development of the Ukrainian system of language education.
The Question of Being: Greece, India and China
Authors: Nikolova Antoaneta
Published: December 2021

One of the main features of the European perception of reality is that it is understood in terms of Parmenides’ wondering that “there is Being”. This concept is crucial for the Western tradition. In Western thought, the issue of Being is presented in pairs with two possible opposites: becoming and non-being. In this article, the concept of Being as it is presented in the Ancient Greek thought will be presented in comparison with similar concepts in Indian and Chinese traditions. The main aim of the paper is to outline the peculiarities and importance of each tradition.
