Selo Jarušice u Lepenici i njegov manastir
Authors:   CENTAR ZA MITOLOŠKE STUDIJE SRBIJE, Andrejić Živojin R.
Published: January 2024

The history of the village of Jarusice in the area of Lepenica, i.e. Raca, is inseparable from the history of the church of St. Archangel Gabriel and the monastery of the same name. The village was mentioned for the first time in the census of 1476, only 17 years after the Turkish conquests, which would mean that it is older and existed before 1459. In the Turkish census from 1528-1530, the village of Jarusice was once again recorded in Lepenica county. In the census from the time of the Turkish sultan Murat III (1574-1595), there was again a mention of the church and monastery of St. Archangel. Apparently, the village, church and monastery were affected by the Austro-Turkish wars, 1688-1690 and 1716-1718 because the village was registered as deserted in the census. It was restored by newly settled inhabitants from Metohija, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, between 1737 and 1787. Already in the census from 1740, the village of Jarusice and the monastery of St. Archangel were mentioned again. The church and monastery suffered again in 1813- 1815. At that time, the village was divided into Gornje (Upper) and Donje (Lower) Jarusice. The ruins of the church were discovered by Petar Matijasevic, a farmer from the neighboring village of Guberevac. The church, as a single-nave building without a dome, was rebuilt at his own expense by Prince Milos Obrenovic in 1822. The builder was master Todor Petrovic, and the icons were painted by Janja Moler. The bell tower with the new bell was built in 1856-1860. Near the church are buried Petar Matijasevic (1854), head of Lepenica county Uros Cukic (1854), son of duke Pavle Cukic, as well as priests: Mijailo Bozic (1855) and his son Antonije (1883) and Ljubisav Popovic. Famous persons from Jarušice were: Panta Mihajlović (principal of the high school) and national hero Miloje Pavlovic (principal of the teachers' college). The church was restored by the efforts of priests Aleksije and Milovan Domanovic in 1893, and he dome was added. Malo Krcmare and part of Veliko Krcmare separated from the Jarusice parish in 1930. An addition to the chancel was completed in 1969, and a new church building and parish hall with a large hall were built in 2006. In 2022, the inhabitants of Gornje and Donje Jarusice and the surrounding villages with John, the bishop of Sumadija, celebrated the 200th anniversary of the church of St. Archangel Gabriel and the 550th year of the village's existence.

Puppetry in Serbia dates back to the early 20th century, in the tradition of traveling puppeteers and entertainers at fairs. Puppet theaters in Serbia as theater institutions were established only after World War II when they consisted of professional ensembles with a permanent repertoire and a regular theater audience. The work explores puppetry as an art form on all levels, requiring a unique form, with the aim of uncovering the chronology of the establishment of Puppet Theaters, with a special focus on Kragujevac, which was among the early pioneers of puppetry. Throughout history and to this day, whether in the world or in Serbia, puppet shows are accessible to all ages, just like any other form of theater art. There's nothing more beautiful than awakening the child within oneself.
Knez Mihailo - pokrovitelj umetnosti, stvaralac i inspiracija
Authors:   Istorijski arhiv Šumadije, Kragujevac, Srbija, Živković Sanja
Published: January 2024

The figure of Prince Mihailo Obrenović is illuminated in the work through three aspects: patronage, embodied in the merits for the creation and development of cultural institutions, such as the National Theater in Belgrade and the "Vuk Karadžić" National Library in Kragujevac, financing the work of numerous artists such as Anastas Jovanovic, Branko Radicevic, Kornelije Stankovic and others, as well as educational workers such as Vuk Karadzic; authorship thanks to which we learn about the prince's relationship to the state, people, religion, mother and beloved wife; an nspiration, which is followed through the treatment of the prince's character in poetry, prose and drama. Accordingly, clear differences were established between two opposing currents in poetic literary expression. One group of poets, like Zmaj, was a fierce opponent of Mihailo's rule, while the other, which included Laza Kostic, glorified his actions with their works. As for the prose, the characteristics of male and female narratives, the chronological difference in the treatment of the literary character Prince Mihailo, the position of the narrator, as well as the aesthetic value of certain literary works in which the prince is either the main character or an episodic role, were examined. The last segment of the work follows the development of the prince's character through four plays, which are stylistically different, and in some of them we meet not only fantastical elements, but also otherworldly spaces. Based on the above, a comparison of literary and historical biographies was made and the conclusion was reached that there is no great difference between them.

The research entitled Good Corporate Governance Principles in Conflict of Interest Transactions Between Public Limited Companies and Minority Shareholders aims first to know and understand and analyze the arrangements related to the implementation of good corporate governance principles towards minority shareholders. Second, to know, understand and analyze conflict of interest transactions that occur between publicly listed public limited companies and minority shareholders. The research method used in this thesis uses Normative research methods which are library research, namely research on laws and regulations and literature related to the material discussed. Based on the research results, it can be concluded First: the principles of good corporate governance in conflict of interest transactions between publicly listed public limited companies and minority shareholders. Decisions in the GMS made by the majority are not entirely fair to minority shareholders. Conflicts of interest that occur in the Company are often detrimental to the interests of minority shareholders. Second: shareholder protection is still not properly implemented by the board of directors because it violates the principles of fiduciary duty and statutory duty. This can be seen from the violation of the rights of minority shareholders, namely the failure to conduct an assessment, the failure to disclose information and the failure to hold an Independent GMS. On the other hand, OJK through its authority has protected the interests of minority shareholders by imposing administrative fines.

Published: January 2024

Gerçekleştirilen ilk modern Olimpiyatlarda hiç kadın sporcu temsili bulunmazken, 1900’de gerçekleşen Olimpiyatlarda ise bu temsil oranı sadece %2,2 ile sınırlı kalmıştır. Tokyo 2020 ise medyada bir “dönüm noktası” olarak lanse edilmiş ve cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin en az düzeyde olduğu Olimpiyat olarak tarihe geçmiştir. Bu araştırma, medyada “en eşit” Olimpiyat olarak lanse edilen Tokyo 2020 Olimpiyat Oyunları süresince, medyada yer alan toplumsal cinsiyet temelli sporcu eylemlerinin değerlendirilmesi ve niteliksel eşitliğin niceliksel eşitlikten farkının ortaya konması ile toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği yolunda bir farkındalık oluşturulması amacını taşımaktadır. Bu araştırma, toplumsal cinsiyet temelli eylemleri nitel yaklaşımla ele alan bir durum çalışmasıdır. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, medyaya yansıyan sporcu eylemleri üzerinden bir doküman analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tokyo 2020 Olimpiyat Oyunları, eşitliği destekleyici atılmış adımlar ve eşitlik talebi oluşturan adımlar olarak iki farklı başlık altında değerlendirilmiştir. Eşitliği destekleyen adımlar başlığı altında kadın ve erkek sporcu sayıları, mevcut olimpik branşlara dâhil edilen kadın sporcular, karma spor branşları, medyada kadınlar üzerinden cinsiyetçi yayın yasağı ve seremonilerde kadın ve erkek sporcuların eşit temsili yer almaktadır. Eşitlik talebi oluşturan adımlar ise sporcuların yarış kıyafetlerindeki değişiklik isteği, kadınların hala katılım gösteremedikleri branşlara dâhil olma arzusu, cinsel yönelim farklılıklarına ilişkin düzenleme talebi ve güncel olaylara karşı gerçekleştirdikleri protestolar yer almaktadır. Sonuç olarak; tarihin niteliksel olarak en eşit Olimpiyatları kabul edilen Tokyo 2020’nin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği odağındaki değişimler, kadın sporcuların niteliksel eşitlik sağlamak amacı ile ortaya koymuş oldukları aktivist eylemler bağlamında toplumsal değişime rol model olduğu ifade edilebilir.

Purpose: Government employees, like persons in the private sector, spend a lot of their time in public service. Consequently, employee satisfaction is essential for safeguarding long-term effectiveness and efficiency in both private and public sector organizations. Creating satisfactory working environments improves employees’ work-life balance, thus higher satisfaction levels. Every year, job satisfaction levels are measured throughout all the UAE public sector institutes. This is done through a survey sent by the Dubai Government Excellence Program (DGEP) to the employees every year. With the United Arab Emirates being heralded as one of the leading countries to create ideal work environments for employees, this study aims at determining the underlying factors that affect employee satisfaction in Dubai Police traffic department.

Methodology: The study adopted descriptive research design. The research applied a purposive simple random sampling technique and probabilistic sampling technique. Data was collected on Dubai police traffic department employees. A quantitative and qualitative data analysis was conducted for the current research based on the collected data from the questionnaires circulated within the employees of police traffic department. Data were then analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-15) for statistical analysis. The results were presented in form of tables.

Findings: While the socio-demographic factors could be considered factors explaining job satisfaction, age and marital status are the only factors that strongly explain the relationship due to their significant result. Additionally, for the nine environmental factors, using factor analysis to determine variables that strongly explain the dependent variables, the variable under “my work directly contributes towards organization’s goals” efficiently explains the status of job satisfaction. Furthermore, execution of mandates informed by the ability of the company to address public complaints and safe work environment influences job satisfaction levels.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Although salary and work directly contribute towards an organization’s goals, companies can ensure that job levels are acquired in the right way. This way, the organization can efficiently address public complaints and promote a safe and healthy working environment. , these findings will inform further studies on behavioral management and workplace productivity in organizations

Uso medicinal del cannabis en el tratamiento del dolor
Authors: Cherro Ariel
Published: January 2024

Los cannabinoides son de utilidad para el tratamiento del dolor crónico. De hecho, algunos relatos que oímos de los pacientes suelen ser mucho más alentadores que la evidencia científica disponible al respecto. La explicación fisiológica parte del estrecho vínculo entre el sistema endocannabinoide y el sistema opioide endógeno, además de la amplia presencia de receptores CB1 en las principales áreas de modulación y percepción del dolor. Los dolores que mejor parecen responder son aquellos con componente neuropático crónico y con comorbilidad afectiva asociada (ansiedad, estrés, depresión, etc). Sin embargo, es necesario afirmar que no se considera el cannabis medicinal como un pilar del tratamiento de dolores severos. Por ejemplo, del dolor por cáncer. Ese papel lo siguen cumpliendo los opioides, sin lugar a dudas.
Determination of Kovada Lake water quality according to zooplankton
Authors: Erdoğan Ömer , Savaş Abdullah
Published: January 2024

In this study, between June 2012 and May 2013, zooplankton was sampled seasonally from 4 stations in Kovada Lake and various physicochemicals were measured. In our study, 23 species of Rotifera, 6 species of Claodocera and 3 species of Copepoda, total 32 species were identified. The highest zooplankton density in Kovada Lake was 243353,2 org/m3 in summer season and the lowest was 62132,8 org/m3 in winter season. According to Saprobi and WZI indices, the lake was found to be in mesotrophic water quality. However, the fact that zooplankton species such as K.cochlearis, P.vulgaris from Rotifera, D.longspina, B.longirostris from Cladocera, which are indicators of eutrophic waters, are dominant and frequent species for Kovada Lake is an indication that the trophic level of the lake is going towards eutrophic structure when evaluated in terms of zooplankton.
Evaluation Of A Solar Heat Gain With Phase Change Material For A House
Authors: YİĞİT Fatih
Published: January 2024

In the study, actual solar radiation measurements were used to determine the solar heat gains that affect the daily heating and cooling requirements. The study investigated the advantages of the PureTerm 23 PCM in indoor temperature control using data from the 2021-2022 solar radiation records. The results show that the PCM is inefficient in meeting the heating demands in January and February. In March, it was found that the PCM can save energy by meeting 16% of the daily heating demand. In April, a 57% reduction in heating demand is achieved with PCM and in May it can provide full heating and cooling with solar gains. With the use of PCM, the cooling requirement can be reduced by 69%, 56% and 59% in June, July and August, respectively. In September, it is calculated that heating and cooling needs can be eliminated by storing solar energy gains. In October and November, the heating demand can be reduced by 49% and 3% respectively, while in December there is not enough solar gain for PCM storage. PureTerm 23 PCM shows significant potential for seasonal energy storage supporting sustainable energy management for indoor temperature control.

Published: January 2024

The increasing global focus on sustainable development has prompted a reevaluation of urban planning strategies, with a particular emphasis on incorporating energy efficiency measures. This paper provides a comprehensive review of policies and best practices aimed at integrating energy-efficient principles into urban planning frameworks. Urbanization is on the rise, and cities play a pivotal role in both economic growth and environmental impact. Recognizing the urgency to mitigate climate change and reduce the ecological footprint of urban areas, policymakers worldwide are adopting measures to enhance energy efficiency in urban planning. This review examines a range of policies implemented across different regions, highlighting successful strategies and lessons learned. Key components of energy-efficient urban planning encompass building design, transportation systems, and infrastructure development. Stringent building codes and standards, coupled with incentives for energy-efficient construction, emerge as effective tools in promoting sustainable architecture. Moreover, the integration of green spaces, renewable energy sources, and smart technologies within urban infrastructure contributes significantly to energy conservation. The review also explores the role of public transportation and the promotion of alternative modes of commuting in reducing carbon emissions. Case studies from cities with successful public transportation initiatives illustrate the positive impact on both energy efficiency and overall urban livability. In addition to policy analysis, this paper delves into best practices employed by cities striving for energy efficiency. Collaboration between local governments, private sectors, and communities emerges as a common thread in successful urban planning initiatives. Furthermore, engaging citizens through awareness campaigns and participatory planning processes fosters a sense of collective responsibility, driving the adoption of sustainable practices. In conclusion, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of energy-efficient urban planning. By examining policies and best practices, it serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and researchers working towards creating more sustainable and resilient cities in the face of growing urbanization and climate change.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes is one of the leading causes of death among women worldwide. It significantly both physical and mental health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of cervical cancer among female students at the University of Kinshasa Methods - Survey method was used to assess the perception of cervical cancer. It was supported by a survey questionnaire inspired by that of Cissé 2012 and the InstitutFrançais de Cancer’s 2015 cancer barometer. It was administered to a non-probabilistic sample of 105 female undergraduate and graduate finalists from faculties of the University of Kinshasa. Results -The results show that students have a positive perception of cervical cancer. This positive perception is reflected in the predominance of objective subjective knowledge of cervical cancer and its risk factors. For these subjects, cervical cancer is a more serious and deadly disease than any other (AIDS, malaria...). They claim that the physical consequences (death, sterility) are more serious than all the other consequences of cancer. Conclusion -Cervical cancer is perceived positively by the subjects surveyed. This positive perception may lead respondents to avoid risky behavior and undergo early screening as a preventive measure.
Multi-section reference value for the analysis of horizontally scanning aerosol lidar observations
Authors: Shin Juseon , Kim Gahyeong , Kim Dukhyeon , Tesche Matthias , Park Gahyeon , Noh Youngmin
Published: January 2024

Abstract. The quantitative analysis of measurements with horizontally scanning aerosol lidar instruments faces two major challenges: the background correction can be affected by abnormal signal peaks, and the choice of a reference extinction coefficient αref is complicated if aerosols are ubiquitous in the sampled volume. Here, we present the newly developed multi-section method for the stable solution of extinction coefficient retrievals from horizontally scanning lidar measurements. The algorithm removes irregular peaks related to signal noise based on an experimentally derived fitting model. A representative value for αref is inferred from converging retrievals along different scan axes and over multiple scans of 10 to 15 min under the assumption that they are only related to ambient aerosols without distinct emission sources. Consequently, αref obtained through the multi-section method reflects typical atmospheric aerosols unaffected by emissions and noise. When comparing αref to the PM2.5 mass concentrations at national monitoring stations near the measurement area, a significant correlation with an r2 value exceeding 0.74 was observed. The presented case studies show that the new method allows for the retrieval and visualization of spatio-temporal aerosol distributions and subsequent products such as PM2.5 concentrations.
A novel sea surface pCO2-product for the global coastal ocean resolving trends over 1982–2020
Authors: Roobaert Alizée , Regnier Pierre , Landschützer Peter , Laruelle Goulven G.
Published: January 2024

Abstract. In recent years, advancements in machine learning based interpolation methods have enabled the production of high-resolution maps of sea surface partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) derived from observations extracted from databases such as the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT). These pCO2-products now allow quantifying the oceanic air–sea CO2 exchange based on observations. However, most of them do not yet explicitly include the coastal ocean. Instead, they simply extend the open ocean values onto the nearshore shallow waters, or their spatial resolution is simply so coarse that they do not accurately capture the highly heterogeneous spatiotemporal pCO2 dynamics of coastal zones. Until today, only one global pCO2-product has been specifically designed for the coastal ocean (Laruelle et al., 2017). This product, however, has shortcomings because it only provides a climatology covering a relatively short period (1998–2015), thus hindering its application to the evaluation of the interannual variability, decadal changes and the long-term trends of the coastal air–sea CO2 exchange, a temporal evolution that is still poorly understood and highly debated. Here we aim at closing this knowledge gap and update the coastal product of Laruelle et al. (2017) to investigate the longest global monthly time series available for the coastal ocean from 1982 to 2020. The method remains based on a two-step Self-Organizing Maps and Feed-Forward Network method adapted for coastal regions, but we include additional environmental predictors and use a larger pool of training and validation data with ∼18 million direct observations extracted from the latest release of the SOCAT database. Our study reveals that the coastal ocean has been acting as an atmospheric CO2 sink of −0.40 Pg C yr−1 (−0.18 Pg C yr−1 with a narrower coastal domain) on average since 1982, and the intensity of this sink has increased at a rate of 0.06 Pg C yr−1 decade−1 (0.02 Pg C yr−1 decade−1 with a narrower coastal domain) over time. Our results also show that the temporal changes in the air–sea pCO2 gradient plays a significant role in the long-term evolution of the coastal CO2 sink, along with wind speed and sea-ice coverage changes that can also play an important role in some regions, particularly at high latitudes. This new reconstructed coastal pCO2-product (https://doi.org/10.25921/4sde-p068; Roobaert et al., 2023) allows us to establish regional carbon budgets requiring high-resolution coastal flux estimates and provides new constraints for closing the global carbon cycle.

Abstract. Since 2003, the state-of-the-art Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) research icebreaker Amundsen has furrowed the Canadian Arctic waters to support novel research endeavors and collect oceanographic data. This paper presents the data acquisition, the processing methods and an overview of the data collected during the 2021 expedition as the ship traveled over 30 000 km during 122 d across the Canadian Arctic Ocean, collecting sea surface, atmospheric and seabed underway measurements. A total of 266 casts of a conductivity, temperature and depth profiler mounted on a Conductivity Temperature Depth rosette (CTD Rosette) were also conducted to monitor the main physical, chemical and biological parameters of the water column. More specifically, the data presented here were collected with the CTD Rosette across historical sampling transects in Davis Strait, the North Water Polynya (NOW) and Cape Bathurst. A 182 km dedicated survey using the Moving Vessel Profiler® (MVP), equipped with CTD, transmissometer, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence and sound velocity sensors, was conducted across Hudson Strait. We also present an overview of the data collected by the underway systems (seabed, thermosalinograph and atmospheric). Such data are essential in understanding the impacts of climate warming on the unique environments of the Canadian Arctic Ocean. Amundsen Science supports and promotes easy access and sharing of such valuable data to the scientific community.

Abstract. Hydrological modeling is a crucial component in hydrology research, particularly for projecting future scenarios. However, achieving reproducibility and automation in distributed hydrological modeling research for modeling, simulation, and analysis is challenging. This paper introduces rSHUD v2.0, an innovative, open-source toolkit developed in the R environment to enhance the deployment and analysis of the Simulator for Hydrologic Unstructured Domains (SHUD). The SHUD is an integrated surface–subsurface hydrological model that employs a finite-volume method to simulate hydrological processes at various scales. The rSHUD toolkit includes pre- and post-processing tools, facilitating reproducibility and automation in hydrological modeling. The utility of rSHUD is demonstrated through case studies of the Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory in the USA and the Waerma watershed in China. The rSHUD toolkit's ability to quickly and automatically deploy models while ensuring reproducibility has facilitated the implementation of the Global Hydrological Data Cloud (https://ghdc.ac.cn, last access: 1 September 2023), a platform for automatic data processing and model deployment. This work represents a significant advancement in hydrological modeling, with implications for future scenario projections and spatial analysis.

Abstract. This work presents the importance of polarimetric variables as an additional data source for nowcasting thunderstorm hazards using an existing neural network architecture with recurrent-convolutional layers. The model can be trained to predict different target variables, which enables nowcasting of hail, lightning, and heavy rainfall for lead times up to 60 min with a 5 min resolution, in particular. The exceedance probabilities of Swiss thunderstorm warning thresholds are predicted. This study is based on observations from the Swiss operational radar network, which consists of five operational polarimetric C-band radars. The study area of the Alpine region is topographically complex and has a comparatively very high thunderstorm activity. Different model runs using combinations of single- and dual-polarimetric radar observations and radar quality indices are compared to the reference run using only single-polarimetric observations. Two case studies illustrate the performance difference when using all predictors compared to the reference model. The importance of the predictors is quantified by investigating the final training loss of the model, with skill scores such as critical success index (CSI), precision, recall, precision–recall area under the curve, and the Shapley value. Results indicate that single-polarization radar data are the most important data source. Adding polarimetric observations improves the model performance compared to reference model in term of the training loss for all three target variables. Adding quality indices does so, too. Including both polarimetric variables and quality indices at the same time improves the accuracy of nowcasting heavy precipitation and lightning, with the largest improvement found for heavy precipitation. No improvement could be achieved for nowcasting of the probability of hail in this way.

This study describes the figurative language and educational values in the Queen band song. The aims of this research were divided into two parts, firstly, to know the figurative language that is used in Queen band songs. secondly, to know what educational values are found in the songs. In this research, the researcher applied a qualitative approach with a descriptive qualitative method. The data for this research was taken from the lyrics video official Queen band on the YouTube channel. The data were collected through an enumeration system based on Bugin’s theory which covers some steps namely simple binary coding. The researcher used the triangulation method which consists whit decontextualization, recontextualization, categorization, and compilation. The data analysis covers five steps: classifying and coding sentences, analyzing the types of figurative language and educational values, drawing the table, verifying, and concluding. The result of this research The researcher found out there are 59 figurative languages from six selected songs by the Queen band, which included: 3 similes, 13 metaphors, 3 synecdoche, 3 metonymies, 10 symbols, 10 allegories, 3 paradoxes, 4 hyperboles, and 10 ironies. the researcher found 19 values of being such as 2 honesties, 10 braveries, 3 confident and potential, and 4 purities. Also, the researcher found there is one value of giving which is loyalty.
Digital Authentic Resource and Activity Needs of English Major Students for Autonomous Learning through Self-Access Center (SAC)

To boost English major students’ autonomous learning beyond classroom learning through the Self-Access Center (SAC), the provision of learning resources and activities in SAC should meet their needs. The issue that arises is that little is known about the specific needs of autonomous learning in SAC for English major students. This research focuses on autonomous learning based on the needs of digital authentic resources and activities through SAC as accelerated learning outside the classroom for students majoring in English. A mixed method was applied based on the need analysis model by Hutchinson and Waters (1987). Around 51 English major students of UMM as users of “American Corner” (Amcor) UMM were required to fill out the questionnaires consisting of 6 questions adapted from Ortiz (2006) and 16 of them were selected as interview participants. Observation was also held to support both data. The findings revealed the digital authentic resource needed, lacking, and wanted the most by English major students. Additionally, the types of activities needed the most to support autonomous learning in SAC were also described. The implication of the research is for SAC managers to consider future development and recommendations of resource provision as well as ideas for forthcoming programs of SAC based on the identified needs particularly for the English major students.

Highly symbolic as it is, the place of artistic practice is generally seen as the artist’s lair. It is a workshop, which has traditionally been defined as a place for manual work and, in this instance, refers to the place where the artist produces his or her work. By extension, it reflects the act of creation. Named studio, whether it be shared or for the sole use of an individual artist (whether he or she works alone or with assistants), nevertheless brings together the intimate and the public. Although it is a space in which the artist experiments, lives, creates, and stores his or her work, so that it sometimes has the appearance of a private hide-out, it is still a place for sharing, exhibiting and discussion. Playing on this dichotomy, artists have since the middle of the 20th century sought to distance themselves from the studio, or, on the contrary, to open it up. Daniel Buren questioned the status of the studio after Brancusi changed studios in 1971, arguing that "any questioning of the system of art will inevitably pass through a re-questioning of the studio as a unique place where work is done, just like the museum as a unique place where work is seen". Other artists, however, like Andy Warhol with his Factory and Robert Filiou with his shop studio, raise questions about the studio by bringing it to the front of the stage. The artist’s place of production seems, moreover, to be a component of the artist’s work, rather than simply the place where it is created or a framework for its execution. From this point of view, the environment in which the artist works seems to influence his or her work and to limit its materiality or physical constitution. In this way, this multifaceted space, which is at once closed and open, has infiltrated its way into artistic language and has aroused the interest of the public as it looks to delve more deeply into the process of artistic creation. Might we spot here the process by which an artist creates a “brand” through the personal touch he gives to his workplace? According to the logic of the universe in which the brand is seen as a sign, exhibiting the artist’s workplace covers two possible eventualities. It is either the workshop of a living, contemporary artist or the posthumous workplace of an artist who is no longer alive. Based on the interviews we have carried out with artists in their studios and curators, the present article observes how, in this configuration, the brand/sign serves as a protection for the artist’s work and, at the same time, as an element which distorts it.

The article is a continuation of the study of life expectancy (LE) at older ages in the regions of the Northwestern Federal District of Russia [1] and is devoted to the analysis of the impact of mortality from the cause of death of COVID-19 on the life expectancy of men and women at older ages in the regions of the Northwestern Federal District of Russia. The paper presents the dynamics of life expectancy at birth and at older ages (60, 70 and 80 years) from 1990 to 2021. Particular attention is paid to the decrease in life expectancy in the period 2020–2021. The effect of excluding the cause of death from coronavirus infection on life expectancy in older ages has been studied. The regions with the maximum and minimum decrease in life expectancy during the pandemic were identified. The regions that would benefit the most and least from the exclusion of this cause of death were determined.
