Historical and cultural retrospective of formation of blogs
Authors: Bugayov Mykola
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to investigate the history of blogs and determine the dynamics of their development. The methodology involves the use of historical, bibliographic, and analytical methods. The scientific novelty of the work is that it is the first attempt to describe the history of blogs from their appearance to the present day. With the rapid development of Internet communications in modern society, new forms of virtual communication have appeared, which are of interest to representatives of different segments of the population, professions, preferences, ages. Blogging allows people to express themselves, to present themselves to the world, to find like-minded people. In addition, such online communication is an opportunity to relax, work and develop. This led to the emergence of a new profession – a blogger. Due to the ability to communicate freely in time and space, the blogosphere has become a presentation platform for many political, religious, social, and cultural formations. Most companies now have at least one blogger who creates relevant content. Since evolution, blogs have come a long way, change, and improvement. Initially, the first Internet posts appeared. Later, this phenomenon was called a blog, which led to the emergence of derivative concepts, such as blogger, blogging, blogosphere, video blog, etc. Gradually, special platforms were created for blogs, where contributors discussed political, military, social, cultural, and other issues. In the early twentieth century, bloggers became a source of information for the media, causing social resonance. Some sites have combined blogging platforms and social networks and began to contain video, photo, and audio content. The coronavirus pandemic in the world has given a powerful impetus to the development of Internet communication, and the blogosphere is now experiencing considerable prosperity. Conclusions. The blog has come a long way from 1994 to the present. Every year, it gains momentum in its development, generates new online contributors, and gains a new audience. Blogs perform a number of important functions: cognitive, educational, presentation, relaxation, etc., which determine their significant popularity and, consequently, further development. Therefore, the question of the state of blogs and their history will always be relevant.

Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to develop the issues of quoting the art direction of pop art and the use of artistic techniques of its representatives in the design of clothing of the late XX - early XXI centuries. Visual material covering the history of fashion of the end of the XX - beginning of the XXI century taken from printed publications and the Internet. Methodology. Methods of literary, socio-cultural, art history, aesthetic, and structural-compositional analyzes were used. The scientific novelty of the work lies in identifying the main stages and specifics of quoting pop art in clothing design of the late XX - early XXI century. Brands and designers who turned to the motives of this art direction from 1960 to 2010 were considered. Conclusions. It is determined that the iconography of pop art in clothing design includes the following: portraits of celebrities; reproductions of famous paintings, banners and posters; covers and pages of newspapers and magazines, comics; images of letters, words, slogans and logos; different types of packaging; home appliances; plumbing; electrical appliances; means of transport; food; tobacco products and alcoholic beverages. It was found that the techniques typical of pop art, such as a combination of illusory and real, hyperbolization of objects or their individual properties, duplication of images, mixing bright contrasting colors and multi-context images, introducing quotes, and using collages of photographs were fully adapted to clothing design in the twentieth century. Since the eighties of the twentieth century. The parody approach to creativity characteristic of pop art is spreading. In the XXI century. designers focused on "combining the incompatible." Pop-art ideas for decorating things with a simple cut with various slogans and of everyday and commonly available motifs, as well as imitation materials, have become the most widespread for ready-made clothes.

The purpose of the article is to determine the methods of developing the creative abilities of autistic children by modern choreography. Methodology: in our work, we used systematic and comparative methods, as well as problem and analytical analysis of the literature to study methods of developing autistic children through art therapy and choreography, to improve their plastic capabilities and study the latest trends in art and psychology. Scientific novelty. The question of the development of creative abilities of autistic children by art therapy has already been studied in modern literature, but the novelty of the research it’s the first attempt to determine methods of developing plastic abilities of children with autism by means of modern dance. Due to the research, we have identified methods for developing the creative abilities of autistic children by means of modern choreography, in particular - modern dance. On the one hand, the focus of modern pedagogy is on people with special needs who receive additional permanent or temporary support in the educational process in order to ensure their right to education. On the other hand, much less importance is given to meeting the needs of children with autism by involving them in modern cultural and artistic practices. Although, in our opinion, it provides much more opportunities for adaptation of people with special needs, the development of their desire for beauty. Our research art and cultural attention have focused on the development of plastic abilities of autistic children by means of modern dance in modern cultural and artistic practices. Conclusions: we determined that it is important to develop the plastic abilities of such children, although it is very difficult to teach such child to dance professionally, it is possible to develop the choreographic grace of movements. In the course of our research, we analyzed the available scientific materials on autism and identified the behavior of autistic children, and explored the possibilities of using modern dance in the development of autistic children as one of the means of developing their creative abilities.

Orthodox joke as a phenomenon of modern Orthodox culture
Authors: Smolina Olha
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to reveal the specifics of the Orthodox joke as a phenomenon of modern Orthodox culture. Methodology. In the context of the culturological approach, the method of comparative analysis, induction, deduction, typology, and classification was used. Scientific Novelty. For the first time the phenomenon of the Orthodox joke was investigated in the context of cultural studies; assumptions were made regarding the time and reasons for its appearance; its sources are highlighted, the typology of the Orthodox joke is proposed; supplemented with data on the cultural specificity of this phenomenon. Conclusions. In secular and folk culture, a joke is a form of uncensored folk art, a sphere of dissent. The Orthodox joke, by contrast, is one of the ways of preachingand does not oppose the official church line. A parable in the form of a joke is more understandable and acceptable to the cultural consciousness of a modern person. The following types of Orthodox jokes are distinguished: curious cases from the history of the church, the life of individual parishes, or pastoral practice; «Children's perception of religion»; «In front of Paradise doors»; «Dialogue between a believer and an unbeliever»; self-irony of Orthodox monks and laity. The development of the genre of the Orthodox joke testifies to the processes of adaptation of the Orthodox culture, which exists under the prevailing secular culture.

The relationship between gender transformations and the evolution of fashion
Authors: Kushchyk Iryna
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is the formation of a base for fashion research in Ukrainian culturological science. Carrying out a culturological analysis of gender transformations in the evolution of fashion and fashion trends. The methodology of the research is due to the need of using specific culturological methods for the analysis – diachronic and synchronous methods, comparative-historical method, semiotic method. The scientific novelty of the article includes conducting a cultural analysis of the phenomenon of fashion and gender; conducting a semiotic analysis of the fashion industry; identifying the features of the functioning of fashion in the context of the symbolic space of culture. Conclusions. In postmodernism, fashion begins its transformation from a symbolic unit that provides information about certain means to the means of communication that help people realize their own human potential, encourage freedom of choice, self-identification, and self-expression, which is reflected in the gradual leveling of gender and other sociocultural clothes. Modern fashion is beginning to blur the boundaries between social status, gender and age. After all, the transformational processes taking place in society are directly related to the transformation of culture and changes in fashion, because fashion is one of the structural elements of culture.

Authors: Tur Oksana , Shabunina Viktoriia , Maslak Volodymyr
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the problem of personality alienation in cyberspace of the information society, aimed at identifying such behavioral aspects of personality that would indicate the presence of traits, qualities, or criteria of Internet addiction or the likelihood of their occurrence. The methodology of the study was general and special methods of studying the issue, the use of which allowed achieving this goal. The set of applied methods made it possible to clarify the logical sequence, the plurality of areas of influence of the information society on the individual, and the further transformation. The main principle was historicism, which involves the consideration of any phenomenon in its self-development under the influence of various factors. The historical-structural method is used to clarify the features of self-identification in the information society. The historical-system method is aimed at analyzing society as a whole and the changes within it caused by transformational processes. Quantitative methods were used to process the results of sociological surveys and questionnaires, as well as to diagnose the process under study. The scientific novelty of the study is the expansion of ideas about the issue of alienation of an individual in the modern information space. Thanks to a sociological study conducted by the authors, it was hypothesized that Internet addiction can occur not only in adolescence but also the middle-aged people can get into the conditions of transformation of their personality. Conclusions. The beginning of the XXI century was marked by the emergence of the phenomenon of complex psychosocial relations between the individual and the information environment that surrounds him. The extraordinary opportunities that a computer gives to a person, on the one hand, open up a boundless field for creativity, and on the other hand, create and consolidate alienation between people, dramatically change basic values, ideals, and evaluations. The transformation of the individual in the modern information society demonstrates the decline of spirituality, the technicalization of life, and the transfer of priorities to the virtual environment.
Keywords: information society, virtual reality, cyberspace, problem of alienation, transformation of personality, Internet addiction.

Published: December 2021

A machine learningsemi-supervised method was developed for the classification analysis of defects on the surface of the sewer pipe based on CCTV video inspection images. The aim of the research is the process of defect detection on the surface of sewage pipes. The subject of the research is a machine learning method for the classification analysis of sewage pipe defects on video inspection images under conditions of a limited and unbalanced set of labeled training data. A five-stage algorithm for classifier training is proposed. In the first stage, contrast training occurs using the instance-prototype contrast loss function, where the normalized Euclidean distance is used to measure the similarity of the encoded samples. The second step considers two variants of regularized loss functions – a triplet NCA function and a contrast-center loss function. The regularizing component in the second stage of training is used to penalize the rounding error of the output feature vector to a discrete form and ensures that the principle of information bottlenecking is implemented. The next step is to calculate the binary code of each class to implement error-correcting codes, but considering the structure of the classes and the relationships between their features. The resulting prototype vector of each class is used as a label of image for training using the cross-entropy loss function.  The last stage of training conducts an optimization of the parameters of the decision rules using the information criterion to consider the variance of the class distribution in Hamming binary space. A micro-averaged metric F1, which is calculated on test data, is used to compare learning outcomes at different stages and within different approaches. The results obtained on the Sewer-ML open dataset confirm the suitability of the training method for practical use, with an F1 metric value of 0.977. The proposed method provides a 9 % increase in the value of the micro-averaged F1 metric compared to the results obtained using the traditional method.
System of license plate recognition considering large camera shooting angles
Authors: Kuchuk Heorhii , Podorozhniak Andrii , Liubchenko Nataliia , Onischenko Daniil
Published: December 2021

The system of automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) is a combination of software and hardware technologies implementing ALPR algorithms. It seems to be easy to achieve the goal but recognition of license plate requires many difficult solutions to some non-trivial tasks. If the license plate is oriented horizontally, uniformly lighted, has a clean surface, clearly distinguishable characters, then it’ll be not too difficult to recognize such a license plate. However, the reality is much worse. The lighting of each part of the plate isn’t equal; the picture from the camera is noisy. Besides, the license plate can have a big angle relative to the camera and be dirty. These obstacles make it difficult to recognize the license plate characters and determine their location on the image. For instance, the accuracy of recognition is much worse on large camera angles. To solve these problems, the developers of automatic license plate recognition systems use a different approach to processing and analysis of images. The work shows an automatic license plate recognition system, which increases the recognition accuracy at large camera angles. The system is based on the technology of recognition of images with the use of highly accurate convolutional neural networks. The proposed system improves stages of normalization and segmentation of an image of the license plate, taking on large camera angles. The goal of improvements is to increase of accuracy of recognition. On the stage of normalization, before histogram equalization, the affine transformation of the image is performed. For the process of segmentation and recognition, Mask R-CNN is used. As the main segment-search algorithm, selective search is chosen. The combined loss function is used to fasten the process of training and classification of the network. The additional module to the convolutional neural network is added for solving the interclass segmentation. The input for this module is generated feature tensor. The output is segmented data for semantic processing. The developed system was compared to well-known systems (SeeAuto.USA and Nomeroff.Net). The invented system got better results on large camera shooting angles.
LA DISTOPÍA SIMBÓLICO-MÍTICA EN EL TEATRO ESPAÑOL ACTUAL: LA REBELIÓN DE LOS HIJOS QUE NUNCA TUVIMOS (QY BAZO) Y LOS CERDOS VOLADORES (PILAR G. ALMANSA)
Authors: Jiang Ziqi
Published: December 2021

La distopía simbólico-mítica es un nuevo paradigma de la distopía caracterizado por su apertura hacia los elementos explícitamente fantásticos o sobrenaturales. Este artículo tiene dos objetos de estudio. Primero, se examina la poética de este modelo emergente, enfocando el motivo por el que este nuevo paradigma, a pesar de su renovación en la estética y el contenido, no se desvía de la tradición distópica. Segundo, se analizan dos obras teatrales españolas actuales que se pueden considerar como ejemplos del nuevo paradigma, a saber, La rebelión de los hijos que nunca tuvimos (2017), de QY Bazo, y Los cerdos voladores (2017), de Pilar G. Almansa. Ambos textos emplean lo simbólico para crear la imagen de un Otro absoluto y provocar el efecto de distanciamiento, invitando al público a reflexionar críticamente sobre esta aparente otredad y sobre la sociedad actual en la que se considera tan importante distinguir entre Nosotros y el Otro.

La geopolítica del gas: el Magreb y el suministro energético en España
Authors: Moreno García-Cano Luis Óscar
Published: December 2021

La geopolítica siempre ha influido en el panorama energético global y, en particular, en el de los combustibles fósiles. El caso arquetípico es el de la crisis energética de los años setenta. No obstante, el contexto actual de tensiones energéticas y volatilidad de los mercados ha vuelto a poner sobre el tapete la relevancia de la geopolítica en el suministro y precio de los combustibles fósiles y, en particular, del gas. Un ejemplo de esto es el caso europeo, donde tanto Argelia como Rusia están privilegiando los gasoductos directos (Medgaz y Nord Stream), frente a aquellos que transitan por terceros países como Marruecos o Ucrania, por motivos e intereses que van más allá de lo económico.
Investigating the Efficiency of the VPR and COFFE Area Models in Predicting the Layout Area of FPGA Lookup Tables
Authors: Al-Qawasmi Mousa
Published: December 2021

A single tile in a mesh-based FPGA includes both the routing block and the logic
block. The area estimate of a tile in an FPGA is used to determine the physical
length of an FPGA’s routing segments. An estimate of the physical length of the
routing segments is needed in order to accurately assess the performance of a
proposed FPGA architecture. The VPR (Versatile Place and Route) and the
COFFE (Circuit Optimization for FPGA Exploration) tools are widely used meshbased FPGA exploration environments. These tools map, place, and route
benchmark circuits on FPGA architectures. Subsequently, based on area and delay
measurements, the best architectural parameters of an FPGA are decided. The area
models of the VPR and COFEE tools take only transistor size as input to estimate
the area of a circuit. Realistically, the layout area of a circuit depends on both the
transistor size and the number of metal layers that are available to route the circuit.
This work measures the effect of the number of metal layers that are available for
routing on FPGA layout area through a series of carefully laid out 4-LUTs (4-input
Lookup Tables). Based on measured results, a correction factor for the COFFE area equation is determined. The correction factor is a function of both the
transistor drive strength and the number of metal layers that are available for
routing. Consequently, a new area estimation equation, that is based on the
COFFE area model, is determined. The proposed area equation takes into
consideration the effect of both the transistor drive strength and the number of
metal layers that are available for routing on layout area. The area prediction error
of the proposed area equation is significantly less than the area prediction errors of
the VPR and COFFE area models.
Safe Driving Of Autonomous Vehicles Through Improved Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Gupta Abhishek
Published: December 2021

In this thesis, we propose an environment perception framework for autonomous driving
using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) that exhibits learning in autonomous vehicles under complex interactions with the environment, without being explicitly trained on driving
datasets. Unlike existing techniques, our proposed technique takes the learning loss into
account under deterministic as well as stochastic policy gradient. We apply DRL to object
detection and safe navigation while enhancing a self-driving vehicle’s ability to discern meaningful information from surrounding data. For efficient environmental perception and object
detection, various Q-learning based methods have been proposed in the literature. Unlike
other works, this thesis proposes a collaborative deterministic as well as stochastic policy
gradient based on DRL. Our technique is a combination of variational autoencoder (VAE),
deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG), and soft actor-critic (SAC) that adequately
trains a self-driving vehicle. In this work, we focus on uninterrupted and reasonably safe
autonomous driving without colliding with an obstacle or steering off the track. We propose
a collaborative framework that utilizes best features of VAE, DDPG, and SAC and models
autonomous driving as partly stochastic and partly deterministic policy gradient problem in
continuous action space, and continuous state space. To ensure that the vehicle traverses the
road over a considerable period of time, we employ a reward-penalty based system where a
higher negative penalty is associated with an unfavourable action and a comparatively lower
positive reward is awarded for favourable actions. We also examine the variations in policy
loss, value loss, reward function, and cumulative reward for ‘VAE+DDPG’ and ‘VAE+SAC’
over the learning process.

A metodologia utilizada foi criada por três acadêmicas do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática e aplicada em uma escola de Ensino Médio da rede pública estadual do município de Passo Fundo, RS. O jogo propõe, a partir de uma história, seguir pistas que levam a locais determinados onde estão escondidos pergaminhos contendo questões e dicas para o próximo local, visando encontrar a, até então perdida, coroa da rainha e vencer. A atividade auxiliou os educandos na compreensão do conteúdo abordado, sendo objeto importante para a revisão e fixação do que já havia sido estudado. Por deter a ludicidade como essência, o jogo se revela um excelente meio de fortalecer e aproximar a relação entre matemática e estudantes.
Urban Morphology: The Classical and Modern Research Methodologies
Authors: Bertyák Ágnes
Published: December 2021

This article aims to explore the Hungarian and foreign urban morphological studies as a basis for possible new investigation methods that can follow or innovate the existing methodologies. For this reason, the exploration of the currently known models is essential. The "classical" morphological studies dealt with the structural shapes, historical elements, and changes of the settlements, based mainly on empirical and manual research. In the 1980s, new "modern" research methods emerged with the help of computer software, statistical data and Geographical Information Systems, representing a quantitative approach. Today inter- and multidisciplinary morphological studies are also widespread, combining several areas like ecology, sociology or sustainability with urban studies providing new research directions.

Issues concerning the presence and professional development of women in the academic world have occupied the social sciences since the 1980s. The purpose of this study is to trace the presence and prospects for professional employment and development of women faculty members in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering (E.C.E.) in the case of Greek universities, at the start of the 21st century. Sources for this research were women who teach in E.C.E. departments in Greek universities. The research data come from phone interviews with female professors who work in the E.C.E. departments, and from information drawn from the secretary’s offices and the websites of the specific departments. The most significant research findings revealed that in the field of E.C.E. in Greece, the social structural difference between the sexes still survive. This fact creates difficulties for the career progression and professional development of women, who also face difficulties in their work due to the commitments which are involved in the fulfillment of the demands of the role of mother. In addition, many of the difficulties faced by these particular women in their career result from the activating of prejudices concerning the female gender, which seems to be invading the ‘male dominated’ field of E.C.E. in the case of Greek universities.
Key words: Electrical and Computer Engineering, female faculty members, Greece, universities.
THE INFLUENCE OF TEACHER SKILLS ON PUPIL VOLITION IN SCIENCE LEARNING: A NORWEGIAN INVESTIGATION OF THE STUDYING BEHAVIOURS OF 16-YEAR-OLDS

Published: December 2021

In a school system in which young people receive an ever greater degree of self-determination, it is important to study how the teacher can influence young people’s motivation to work towards long-term goals in schoolwork. The purpose of this study is to investigate which teaching skills influence the volition of 16-year-olds. Structural equation modelling of cross-sectional surveys from one survey was used to estimate the path coefficients. The influence of teachers’ skills on 16-year-olds’ volition was estimated. The analysis indicates that the teacher’s perceived ability to influence pupil volition is present, but modest. Classroom management has a moderately-high effect on pupil volition, whilst the teacher’s press has only a moderate effect on pupil motivation. The teacher’s relationship-building efforts have little effect on either pupil motivation or volition. The indirect effect from pupil motivation to pupil volition is of moderately-high strength. However, a cross-sectional study does not allow us to test causal relationships amongst personal antecedents of pupil volition. Teachers may exercise some influence over 16-year-olds’ volition primarily by means of classroom management, but also in terms of pupil motivation via teacher press. Teachers may exploit this capacity to influence in order to improve pupil performance at school. For pupils lacking academic motivation, the teacher’s efforts to motivate and to strengthen pupil volition are important, including in terms of social levelling. The study provides new knowledge about teacher influence on the volition of Norwegian 16-year-olds.
Keywords: adolescence, classroom management, motivation, Norway, teacher press, teacher’s relational building, volition, youth.
CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF INSTRUMENT FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE ATTITUDE TOWARD SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS
Authors: Gruevski Dragan , Cvetkovska Mirjana
Published: December 2021

This research has an aim to determine the status of the school psychologists in the primary schools in Republic of Macedonia, confirmed through the explorations of the attitude of the teachers and other expert personnel regarding the school psychologist. For the need of this research, an instrument for measurement of the attitude toward the school psychologist (SSP) is constructed. The main conclusions drawn from the field work, statistical evaluations and analysis are that a large percent of the subjects (73%) have negative attitude toward the school psychologists and there is a lack of basic information regarding their status, role and tasks. These results are very significant because it is more than necessary to reveal and maybe to change some essential requirements about the working tasks, the demands, the duties and engagements of the school psychologists.
Key words: instrument for measurement of the attitude, school psychologist, working atmosphere.
Habitando territorios virtuales: aportes para la construcción de una Lógica del Atravesamiento
Authors: Balsa Maria Libertad
Published: December 2021

Este artículo, se enmarca en el proyecto de Investigación «La Formación Profesional en Arte en la Universidad Nacional de Tucumán. El pensamiento de los profesores en relación con las prácticas de enseñanza y aprendizaje». Intenta dar cuenta de las construcciones y movimientos que se generaron en el obligado paso a la virtualidad en el seno de la Materia Dinámica de grupos de la carrera de Teatro de la UNT. Dicha materia tiene como impronta una metodología de Taller participativo vivencial, que ha apostado a no disociar el «pensar–sentir y hacer» de los aprendizajes, insistiendo sobre la puesta en juego de la corporalidad y la experiencia como motorizadores de la construcción de conocimiento.
Se intentará construir narrativa en este recorrido, rescatando desde el pensamiento en primera persona, las construcciones, enlaces y estrategias que fueron marcando el camino desde el lugar docente, camino que no estaba trazado con anterioridad, sino que fue creándose en el devenir del inédito 2020, y en el que las nociones de experiencia, narrativas, dispositivos grupales, coordinación grupal y alojamiento subjetivo fueron anudándose y posibilitando pensar en una Lógica del Atravesamiento como construcción de espacios posibles para el aprendizaje en contextos de encuentros con otres.

Apuntes para una universidad común
Authors: Garbarino Paula , Toci Luciana
Published: December 2021

Estas notas comprenden una organización de nociones que hemos considerado importante distinguir a partir de las preguntas que nos actualizó el encuentro «Universidad pública y virtualidad. Narrativas en disputa». Son fundamentalmente las nociones que creemos relevantes para seguir reflexionando en torno a: los marcos de enseñanza y de estudio universitarios -asumiendo que escuela y universidad comparten algunas demandas como forma escolar- y la autonomía universitaria.
El encuentro «Universidad pública y virtualidad. Narrativas en disputa» comporta una memoria como punto de partida. Un ida y vuelta entre preguntas en torno a la modalidad de trabajo adoptado con motivo de la Emergencia Sanitaria por el COVID-19, a cómo conocemos y nos preguntamos, la autonomía universitaria, y las particularidades de nuestro territorio, la Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos.
