Challenges of war for museums in Ukraine
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kliushnychenko Olena
Published: March 2024

Having analyzed the challenges faced by Ukrainian museums during the war, we can conclude that the war has created a number of difficulties for the preservation and exhibition of cultural heritage. Destruction of infrastructure, displacement of population, and lack of funding are some of the main challenges faced by museums in Ukraine. Ongoing violence and instability also make it difficult for museums to operate and continue their important cultural activities. Despite these challenges, many museums in Ukraine continue to strive to preserve their heritage and showcase their cultural history to the world. It is important that the international community supports these efforts by providing funding and resources to help these museums thrive in the face of the conflict, as the ongoing hostilities have also made it difficult for museums to acquire new exhibits or preserve existing ones, as funding is often diverted to other pressing issues. Despite these challenges, museums in Ukraine continue to play a vital role in preserving the country's cultural heritage. They serve as important repositories of historical knowledge and provide opportunities for the public to appreciate and learn about Ukraine's rich cultural heritage. With proper support and resources, Ukrainian museums can continue to thrive and contribute to the country's cultural development. The preservation of cultural artifacts during the war is extremely important for museums in Ukraine. Not only are these artifacts important to the country's cultural heritage, but they also serve as reminders of its past, present, and future. They can also play a crucial role in the post-war reconstruction process, providing a sense of unity and preserving the population's own identity. In addition, cultural artifacts often have significant economic value, contributing to the development of an important tourism industry. Therefore, museums in Ukraine should make every effort to protect their collections, even during wartime, as they are an invaluable part of Ukraine's national identity and history. Key words: museum, war, protection of museum institutions, "museum front", artifact

More specifically, this study aims to recognize and represent the emotions depicted in Inside Out. ‘Inside Out’ displayed five emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust. Emotions in inside-out movies are interpreted by the signs implied in them. The approach used in this research is qualitative research. The qualitative method with descriptive analysis uses non-numerical data to comprehensively and accurately describe a specific event, behavior, or experience. This study uses several approaches and theories. Approaches used semiotics with Peircean theory and psychology with Schachter-Singer’s Two-Factor Theory of Emotion and cognitive arousal theory. The data were collected from scenes, scripts, and the movie’s dialogue. This research shows different meanings for signs, objects, and interpretants—the representation of basic emotions in the film ‘Inside Out.’ The result is dominant signs in cutting scenes with specified physical characteristics and clothing criteria. Therefore, emotions can arise because of physical reactions and cognitive interpretation of external stimuli. Cognitive processing interacts to drive a person’s behavior.

Published: March 2024

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), mobile sink-driven data acquisition can mitigate hotspot issues, which further increases WSN efficiency, such as throughput, lifetime, and energy efficiency, while reducing delay and packet loss. Recently, most mobile sink algorithms have focused on efficient paths, and few consider obstacles in the network environment. Nevertheless, constructing an obstacle-aware trajectory in a WSN is challenging. In this context, this paper proposes a bug algorithm based on an obstacle-aware intelligent trajectory (CSOBUG) for a mobile sink to acquire data from sensor nodes in WSNs efficiently with the help of cat swarm optimization (CSO). The proposed CSOBUG algorithm has two phases: selecting visiting points and constructing a trajectory. A CSO-based clustering approach is used to select visiting points, and a bug algorithm is used to select a trajectory. Comparing CSOBUG with existing techniques, it is found that CSOBUG is less computationally intensive than the existing techniques. As well as outperforming traditional methods based on multiple performance metrics, the CSOBUG achieves superior results in a variety of scenarios.

Published: March 2024

This article regards main trends of epigrammatic style evolution in French literature of different periods. In this connection a diachronic review of the genre specific features and manifestations is carried out with accentuating close genetic links of the epigram with other small literary forms such as: epitaphs, fabliaux, elegies, madrigals, feuilletons, pamphlets, etc. Speaking about the significance of ancient Greco-Roman literary traditions in French epigrammatic style formation, the author pays tribute to the indisputable ethnic originality and uniqueness of ancient small genres: epitaphs and epigrams, the most characteristic features of which were formed in parallel, in rather close interaction and interdependence over many centuries. This is the very factor that stipulates great possibilities for varying the functional features and characteristics of the epigrammatic style in later historical periods: the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment, Classicism,Symbolism. The results of vast theoretical and practical material analysis fulfilled in the frame of research give full grounds to assume that the epigrammatic style traditions, laid down by the ancient authors of the Greco-Roman school, have found their worthy continuation in French literature of all historical epochs and have doubtless prospects of further independent development nowadays.

Authors:   Lugansk State Academy of Culture and Arts named after Mikhail Matusovsky, Oleynikova M.V.
Published: March 2024

The article examines the history of the formation of the festive culture of the Lugansk region and gives a brief description of them. The author examines various rituals, traditions and mass celebrations that shaped the festive culture of this region and comes to the conclusion that the festive culture of the current Lugansk People's Republic is the result of a unique cultural and historical experience accumulated by society and has deep spiritual, cultural and patriotic significance. There are many cultures and traditions represented in the Lugansk region due to historical circumstances: the relatively late settlement of the region; cohabitation of different nationalities on the same territory - Russians, Ukrainians, Serbs, Poles, Greeks, Jews and many others; economic, cultural, everyday ties that led to a significant ethnocultural rapprochement of peoples. Examples are given of the fusion of fraternal Serbian culture with the traditions and holidays of the Don Cossacks: the Serbian Bozhich (carol at Christmas), and the general custom of the first guest of Christmas morning, and Easter, and transforming pagan holidays, rituals, such as Ivan Kupala, Maslenitsa; and many other common holidays and traditions. It is emphasized that for many nations, oral and intangible cultural heritage constitutes the main source of identification. One of the main types of intangible heritage is the culture of holidays.
Conceptual breakthroughs of the long noncoding RNA functional system and its endogenous regulatory role in the cancerous regime
Authors: Wang Anyou
Published: February 2024

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) derived from noncoding regions in the human genome were once regarded as junks with no biological significance, but recent studies have shown that these molecules are highly functional, prompting an explosion of studies on their biology. However, these recent efforts have only begun to recognize the biological significance of a small fraction (< 1%) of the lncRNAs. The basic concept of these lncRNA functions remains controversial. This controversy arises primarily from conventional biased observations based on limited datasets. Fortunately, emerging big data provides a promising path to circumvent conventional bias to understand an unbiased big picture of lncRNA biology and advance the fundamental principles of lncRNA biology. This review focuses on big data studies that break through the critical concepts of the lncRNA functional system and its endogenous regulatory roles in all cancers. lncRNAs have unique functional systems distinct from proteins, such as transcriptional initiation and regulation, and they abundantly interact with mitochondria and consume less energy. lncRNAs, rather than proteins as traditionally thought, function as the most critical endogenous regulators of all cancers. lncRNAs regulate the cancer regulatory regime by governing the endogenous regulatory network of all cancers. This is accomplished by dominating the regulatory network module and serving as a key hub and top inducer. These critical conceptual breakthroughs lay a blueprint for a comprehensive functional picture of the human genome. They also lay a blueprint for combating human diseases that are regulated by lncRNAs.
Exploring Uncertainties for Crashed Vehicle Travelling Velocity Tolerance in One-Dimensional Crash Configuration

Published: February 2024

Evidence suggests that measurement uncertainty is among the most important factors for reliability assessment. Uncertainty plays a vital role in maximising velocity calculation accuracy in crash reconstruction works. It serves as a reliable calculation tolerance, whereby its contribution becomes more significant when the calculated initial velocity is nearly approaching the posted speed limit. The results suggested that damage width and midpoint offset have a low sensitivity of Delta-V from 0.5 km/h to 0.75 km/h for up to 80 cm and 60 cm measurement errors, respectively. For the crush profile variable, a lesser measurement error of 8 cm results in 0.9 km/h deviation in Delta-V. Meanwhile, vehicle mass, drag factor and post-impact displacement have a higher sensitivity of Delta-V, as compared to the two previous variables. The calculation results may deviate from the actual figure for 1 km/h with a missing 75 kg adult occupant. Deviation of almost 2 km/h initial velocity was observed for as low as 0.5 drag factor determination fault. Moreover, with 1 m displacement measurement inaccuracy is also giving rise to the resulting initial speed of 2 km/h. Overall, the principle direction of force recorded the greatest velocity sensitivity among the investigated variables. Within 20o and 45o of inaccurate principle direction of force, the Delta-V deviation increases exponentially, up to 4.25 km/h. The presented findings are beneficial in terms of crash investigator judgment for the thoroughness measurement while conducting the assessment of the crashed vehicle and the crash scene. This investigation will also contribute to enhancing our understanding of tolerance determination for more accurate velocity estimation.

Published: February 2024

In response to the growing demand for large-scale reconstructions, this paper addresses the scalability challenges encountered by traditional Structure from Motion (SfM) methods. Our research aims to leverage Apache Spark’s distributed computing capabilities to enhance the efficiency of SfM methodologies. The motivation behind this work lies in the increasing need for robust solutions capable of handling extensive reconstruction tasks. To tackle this challenge, we propose a method that harnesses the advantages of Apache Spark, including scalability, speed, fault-tolerance, flexibility, and ease of use. The abstracted problem centers around the limitations inherent in Apache Spark’s traditional operations like maps, reduces, and joins. Our methodology focuses on a block partitioning and merging strategy, strategically distributing the workload using Spark. Our paper also presents experimental results showing the feasibility of our approach through the 3D reconstructions of multiple datasets. The experiments were executed on a standalone Spark instance, demonstrating the potential of Apache Spark in effectively distributing SfM workloads. In summary, this paper elucidates the necessity for addressing scalability challenges in large-scale reconstructions, outlines the research goals, and details a method leveraging Apache Spark to overcome limitations and enhance the efficiency of SfM.

Disordered endogenous synthesis as well as changes in the quantity and qualitative composition of fatty acids in the diet can become pathogenetic factors in a number of metabolic diseases. The purpose of this article was a comparative analysis of the content of monounsaturated fatty acids (palmitoleic, elaidic, oleic, gondoic, erucic and nervonic) in the peripheral blood of residents of different climatic regions. Materials and methods. The research was conducted between 2008 and 2018 and involved 697 subjects aged 22 to 60 years. Depending on the region of permanent residence, all the participants were divided into three groups: 1) residents of the Arctic region (AR); 2) people living in the circumpolar region (CR); 3) residents of the South Caucasus (SC). The level of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in the blood serum was evaluated using gas-liquid chromatography. Results. The analysis of the data obtained demonstrates that the total concentration of MUFAs in the peripheral blood of AR and CR residents is statistically significantly lower compared to the people of SC. In particular, northerners showed lower concentrations of palmitoleic, oleic and gondoic acids. Moreover, in the AR group, the level of elaidic acid was higher than in the SC group, while the concentration of erucic acid was lower than in the CR and SC groups. In terms of nervonic acid, a statistically significantly lower content was detected in SC residents compared to the CR group, while the probability of differences between SC and AR residents was at the trend level. Thus, extreme factors of the North cause adaptive rearrangements in fat metabolism at the level of major and minor fatty acid components. At the same time, the changes are closely linked with the structure of nutrition and can be attributed to an unbalanced diet.

The review summarizes the data of Russian and foreign studies on the psychophysiological parameters of the Stroop task execution. In addition, the article considers the main modifications of the task and similar paradigms as well as the key hypotheses explaining the causes of the interference effect and the increase in reaction time to stimuli containing conflicting information. Further, the paper presents data on eventrelated potential (ERP) waves, which are supposed to reflect cognitive control processes, such as conflict detection, overcoming of interference and conflict resolution. The frontocentral N2 wave characterizes the processes of conflict detection and overcoming of interference, and its main neural generator is the anterior cingulate cortex. The N450 wave is primarily generated in the anterior cingulate cortex and prefrontal cortex and is thought to reflect interference suppression. The centroparietal P300 wave and the late positive complex, which appears to be generated in the middle or inferior frontal gyrus and in the extrastriate cortex, are associated with the conflict resolution process. The readiness potential is, supposedly, generated in the motor cortex and reflects the process of selecting and preparing a motor response. Moreover, the review presents the main directions of studies that use the Stroop test paradigm and its modifications. Despite a significant number of existing psychophysical and neurophysiological papers, the question of the brain mechanisms of cognitive control in tasks that cause cognitive conflict remains open, and the neuropsychological role of the ERP waves recorded in such tasks is still not fully explored. Studies into the influence of different types of competing information and the degree of conflict on the psychophysiological indicators in the Stroop task are of considerable interest.

Anak berkebutuhan khusus (ABK) diartikan sebagai individu-individu yang mempunyai karakteristik yang berbeda dari individu lainnya yang dipandang normal oleh masyarakat pada umumnya. Secara lebih khusus anak berkebutuhan khusus menunjukkan karakteristik fisik, intelektual, dan emosional yang lebih rendah atau lebih tinggi dari anak normal sebayanya atau berada di luar standar normal yang berlaku di masyarakat. Sehingga mengalami kesulitan dalam meraih sukses baik dari segi sosial, personal, maupun aktivitas pendidikan. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan secara langsung (tatap muka) dengan pesertanya yaitu Siswa-siswa SLB Negeri 5 Kota Bengkulu. Selain dikemas dalam bentuk sosialisasi, kegiatan ini juga dilengkapi dengan kegiatan mempraktekkan tes kebugaran jasmani. Berdasarkan capaian hasil kegiatan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan pengabdian di SLB Negeri 5 Kota Bengkulu ini memiliki manfaat yang besar bagi sekolah tersebut dalam mengembangkan pengetahuan mengenai kebugaran jasmani.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of a Reiki protocol on anxiety levels in the preoperative period of cardiac surgery.

Methods This is a controlled and randomized clinical trial carried out in a university reference hospital in cardiology between June and December 2021. Chunk randomization and allocation by draw with opaque sealed envelopes were carried out in two groups: Control (n=44; not subjected to intervention); and Intervention (n=44; submitted to two Reiki sessions three days before and the day before surgery). The main outcomes (anxiety, well-being and muscle tension) were assessed across sessions using a mixed effects model. To assess the effect size, partial eta squared (η2p) values were calculated.

Results Differences in anxiety scores (+2.7 points more than the control), well-being (-0.78) and muscle tension (1.27) were determined, being considered statistically significant (p<0.001). In analyzing the effect size, the experiment better distinguished the variation in the anxiety variable (η2p=0.74) than in the other two variables (η2p=0.14; η2p=0.23).

Conclusion The study offers favorable evidence for the effectiveness of Reiki in controlling preoperative anxiety after cardiac surgery. Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry: RBR-2nhgvn6

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy employs red or near-infrared (NIR) laser. PBM therapy is a rapidly emerging approach that uses a combination of multiple disciplines comprising lasers, high and ultra-high vacuum technologies, biomedical science and engineering and medicine, to name a few. PBM is currently gaining attention for its promise to combat complex medical problems such as cancer, brain disorders, tissue generation etc. Further, PBM technology allows to explore new therapeutic avenues to restore or stimulate healing, reduce pain, increase athletic performance, and improve general wellness. Moreover, recent studies have shown that the ability to stimulate multiple physiological processes can help repair damage caused by injury or disease. In this perspective, we have described some of the notable advances in PBM therapy.
