Bu çalışmada Giresun kenti parklarının (43 adet) yeterlilikleri ulaşılabilirlik yönünden ele alınmıştır. Mevcut parklar hem ilgili kanun, kurum ve literatür kaynakları çerçevesinde hem de ulaşılabilirlik üzerinde etkili olabilecek konum, arazi yapısı, demografik özellikler ile toplu taşıma olanakları bakımından değerlendirilmiştir. Bu amaçla ArcGIS platformunda raster ve vektör veri analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Kent için 24 çocuk bahçesi, 14 mahalle parkı, 4 kent parkı ve 1 adet spor alanı tanımlanırken, parkların ideal hizmet etki alanı yarıçap değerleri sırasıyla 200 m, 500 m, 800 m, 800 m olarak belirlenmiş, 1 dk’lık uygun yürüme mesafesi 80 m olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ulaşım ağına göre parkların maks. 4.5 dk’lık mesafede bulunmaları olumlu bir netice olarak saptanmıştır. Ayrıca 829 ha’lık son ulaşılabilirlik alan değerine göre kentin %65’inden parklara ulaşılabilirliğin sağlandığı ancak ulaşılabilirliğin sağlanması yolunda en büyük engel olarak görülen yüksek eğimli arazi yapısı açısından bir değerlendirme yapıldığında %8’den yüksek eğimli alan oranının ise %61 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak ulaşılabilirlik üzerine etkili olan çevresel faktörlere dikkat çekilerek, kent için ideal park standartları ile bir adet öneri park haritası ortaya koyularak, kentsel yaşam kalitesini geliştirici öneriler sıralanmıştır.

Published: October 2022

Son yıllarda, birçok farklı uygulama alanına sahip cinsiyet tespiti, konuşma analizinin önemli bir problemidir. Cinsiyet tespiti için perde, medyan, frekans gibi ses verilerinin farklı özelliklerinden yararlanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, ses verilerinden cinsiyet tespiti için metasezgisel optimizasyon algoritmalarını temel alan özellik seçimi yöntemi önerilmiştir. Önerilen yöntemde, ses verilerini en uygun biçimde temsil edecek özellik kümesi optimizasyon algoritmaları ile seçilmiş ve elde edilen özellikler kullanılarak yapay zekâ algoritmaları ile cinsiyet tespiti yapılmıştır. Ses verilerinden özellik seçimi yapmak için karmaşık problemleri çözmek konusunda yeteneklere sahip doğadan esinlenmiş metasezgisel optimizasyon algoritmaları kullanılmıştır. Parçacık Sürüsü Optimizasyonu (PSO), Karınca Koloni Optimizayonu (KKO), Salp Sürüsü Algoritması (SSA) ve Balina Optimizasyonu Algoritması (BOA) ses verilerinden özellik seçimi için ilk kez modellenmiştir. Metasezgisel optimizasyon algoritmalarının etkinliğini ölçmek için genel erişime açık veri kümesi kullanılmıştır. PSO, KKO, SSA ve BOA’nın özellik seçimi için performansları uygunluk fonksiyonu değeri, doğruluk değeri ve seçilen özellik sayısı olmak üzere üç farklı ölçüt bakımından karşılaştırılmıştır. Metasezgisel optimizasyon algoritmaları ile özellik seçimi yapıldıktan sonra elde edilen yeni veri kümeleri ve orijinal veri kümesine Naive Bayes ve Karar Ağacı algoritmaları uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, metasezgisel optimizasyon algoritmalarını özellik seçimi için kullanan bu yöntem sayesinde Naive Bayes ve Karar Ağacı algoritmaları ile elde edilen sonuçlarda başarı oranın arttığı gözlemlenmiştir.

Authors: Shneyder L.B.
Published: October 2022

Objective. Identification of the peculiarities of adult children’s perception of themselves and their parents, the study of identification as identification (similarity) of the image of the self of adult children with the image of the father and mother using the eye-tracking technology and the projective approach.Background. Context and relevance. In the modern world, the mechanisms of identification and social perception are changing, and numerous online interactions (with strangers, strangers) occur in parallel with offline interaction. Therefore, the question of the significance of the images of parents in family identification and perception becomes open.Study design. Using oculography technology and projective procedures determined characteristics of self-perception, and then by matching and comparison revealed the degree of identification (similarity) of the image I adult children with the image of the father and mother checked the relationship of the obtained images.Participants. The study involved 132 people studying in the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs of Moscow universities, including 94 (71%) female and 38 (29%) male students. The age of the subjects-from 16 to 46 years (M=20,9, SD=6,2).Measurements. Diagnostic (oculographic and projective), comparative analysis, and mathematical statistics.Results. As a result of the study, the diagnostic procedures were evaluated, a description of the revealed specifics of self-identification, social perception and family identification was presented, and a comparative analysis of the results of perceptual and identification processes in the study participants was made.Conclusions. The process of identification, despite the multiplying and deepening virtualization of the modern world, constantly occurs in significant, subject-subject relations. The modern urban family does not “break up” into individuals, but changes the levels and forms of integration between them. The increased importance of biological family and relations with parents shows a similarity in the reproduction of its parent image, gender performance and personal properties. The mother is a significant standard for emotional and personal identification (the private sphere of self-realization) of adult children, and the father becomes such a standard for the formation of an axiological orientation (the public sphere of self-realization). In the perception of parents, there are more imitative moments, in the identification — explicative ones.

Authors: Gering Silvia Maria Parmeggiani , Pinto Nelson Guilherme Machado , Vieira Kelmara Mende
Published: October 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em analisar e diferenciar as principais causas e consequências da inadimplência sob diferentes dimensões. As análises do estudo foram realizadas por meio de levantamento bibliográfico. Entre as causas da inadimplência, foi preciso fazer uma diferenciação deste fenômeno entre o setor público e o privado, visto que há um conjunto de causas que trazem um grau de complexidade ao se tratar dessa questão. Na área privada, as causas da inadimplência têm praticamente as mesmas origens, destacando-se fatores conjunturais, sócio-políticos, institucionais, ligados ao serviço, falta de atualização das informações cadastrais, consumismo, falta de planejamento, restrições orçamentárias e falta de conhecimentos financeiros. Na área pública, a inadimplência dos impostos também está relacionada à fatores conjunturais, ações dos governos, problemas relacionados cobrança e incentivo da inadimplência. Em relação aos fatores conjunturais tem-se a carga tributária excessiva, legislações tributárias inadequadas e punições existentes mínimas. Referente ao consequências da inadimplência houve a distinção entre três agentes impactados. Dentre estes cita-se a perspectiva do indivíduo, das instituições e da sociedade. Na perspectiva pessoal nota-se que a inadimplência traz implicações negativas tanto financeiras, quanto sociais ou psicológicas. Em relação às instituições as principais consequências da inadimplência, é que essas, muitas vezes, têm que recorrer a empréstimos bancários, aumentando seu custo operacional, ou mesmo atrasar o pagamento de suas obrigações tributárias e fiscais. Por último, com relação a sociedade a inadimplência pode causar redução no nível de emprego e salários, problemas de saúde, maximização do número de suicídios e elevação da violência.

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar se Departamento Estadual de Trânsito de Rondônia (DETRAN-RO) adotou critérios de sustentabilidade nas licitações de obras de engenharia até a destinação final dos rejeitos provenientes dessa obra. Os resíduos da construção civil são uns dos que mais agridem o meio ambiente, nas áreas urbanas, por isso a necessidade de cumprir a legislação. Esta pesquisa faz parte de um Projeto de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC), trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, qualitativa, com análise documental online, referente os editais publicados no período de 2015 a 2018. Foram analisados os editais 001/2017 para construção da pista de teste prático veicular e mini escola de trânsito do município de Ouro Preto do Oeste/RO, Edital 001/2018 para contratação de empresa especializada para a construção da pista de teste prático de direção veicular e mini escola pública de trânsito e galpão de veículos apreendidos do município de Jaru/RO, Edital 003/2018 para construção da pista de teste prático veicular e mini escola pública de trânsito do município de Ariquemes/RO. Constatou-se fragilidade e ausência das exigências nos editais das obrigações sustentáveis, à ausência da lei e resoluções. Dessa maneira, no que se refere a exigências sustentáveis previstas em Lei, cumpriu apenas um requisito das exigências, o que representa apenas 5,89% de sustentabilidade. Foi verificado também a ausência de critérios para exigir das empresas contratadas ações para reciclagem, reaproveitamento e destinação correta dos resíduos sólidos pós-obra, que tanto contaminam o solo e meio ambiente. Dessa forma, concluiu-se que a ausência destas legislações nos editais impede o órgão estadual de exigir das contratadas por ocasião da fiscalização na execução da obra, uma postura e ações de preservação do meio ambiente.

Published: October 2022

Human dental pulp is a highly dynamic tissue that plays major roles in the defense against pathogens and during tissue injury. However, the efficiency of these mechanisms during dental pulp inflammation (pulpitis) varies due to anatomical and physiological restrictions. Uncontrolled progressive unresolved inflammation can lead to pulp tissue necrosis and subsequent apical periodontitis or it can develop into chronic inflammation and become a silent killer causing bone destruction. Considering the cause & effect model, the decision to perform pulp extirpation and endodontic treatment is justifiable only by the lack of therapeutic tools that limit the immune/inflammatory process. The resolution of acute inflammation is necessary to avoid the development of chronic inflammation and to promote repair or regeneration. This active process is orchestrated by Specialized Pro-resolving lipid Mediators (SPMs), which include several families of distinct local mediators (lipoxins, resolvins, protectins and Maresins). These immunoresolvents are distinct from immunosuppressive molecules as they not only dampen inflammation but also promote host defense. Experimental application of SPMs has shown promising result in wide range of inflammatory diseases. This article illustrates about the potential use of SPMs in dentistry

A comparative study of intranasal steroids with intranasal antihistamines sprays v/s intranasal steroids sprays alone in management of allergic rhinitis
Authors: Shivnani Deepa , Raman E.V.
Published: October 2022

Allergic rhinitis is the most common form of rhinitis, worldwide, affecting close to 10% to 30% of the global population. Heredity and environmental exposures may contribute to a predisposition to allergies. Pharmacotherapy along with effective allergen avoidance measures forms the mainstay of management of Allergic Rhinitis. The evidence indicates that intranasal corticosteroids are more efficacious than are antihistamines in the control of Allergic Rhinitis symptoms. This "superiority" is principally related to their effect on nasal obstruction. The numbers of studies done to know the efficacy of combination sprays over steroidal sprays alone are very few and provide insufficient insight.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether the combination nasal sprays should be prescribed as a standard medical management for allergic rhinitis or not, as to achieve better quality of life after treatment with maximum improvement in Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS).

100 subjects were taken up for this study, 50 in each group after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects were allocated in two groups according to consultant’s preference. Subjects were evaluated for Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) and score of Mini Rhino conjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (MiniRQLQ) before and after the treatment initiation

The study was conducted in two groups based on drug given and both the groups were evaluated after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of medication on the basis of TNSS and MiniRQLQ score.

Allergic Rhinitis was found to be more common in younger age group. Both the drugs were effective in reducing the Total nasal symptom scores (TNSS) and score of MiniRQLQ significantly (p<0.001). However, Combination Nasal Sprays (Intra-nasal corticosteroids with intranasal antihistamines) were found to be statistically superior when compared to only intranasal steroid sprays.

Combination Nasal Sprays are highly efficacious and statistically better to steroid nasal sprays hence this study confirms the superiority of combination nasal sprays and recommends combination nasal sprays as first line of treatment for allergic rhinitis.

Cut neck injuries are sharp incised injuries in the neck which if not treated promptly may lead to lifetime morbidity or even death of the patient.

To study the socio-demographical pattern, various modes of injury and the management of cut neck injuries.

This study was conducted in Tezpur Medical College from the time period of 01/01/20 to 31/12/21. A total of 28 cases of cut neck injuries were included in the study after obtaining proper consent from the patient party. The socio- demographic pattern, modes of injury and the treatment provided were recorded and analysed.

Out of 28 cases, 18 were males and 10 females. Majority of the cases were suicidal (15), followed by homicidal (10) and accidental (3). Patients from rural areas were 19 whereas 3 cases were from urban population. Tracheostomy was needed in 10 cases.

Cut neck injuries are serious injuries that need prompt treatment, failing to which can be life threatening to the patient. In our study we found that most of the patients were from lower socioeconomic background from rural areas. We also found that male were more commonly affected than females with a male to female ratio of 1.8:1. Most of the injuries were suicidal in nature.

A nasty guest of EAC - A rare case report of human otoacariasis
Authors: Vasudevan Chenchulakshmi , Belaldavar B. P. , Apoorva P.
Published: October 2022

Otalgia has a spectrum of causes and one among them is a foreign body in the EAC. Insects are not uncommon, but pose a threat by virtue of carrying infections that affect the patient locally as well as systemically.

A 42-year female patient presented with acute onset otalgia, examination by otoendoscopy showed a foreign body over the posterior superior canal wall and it was removed, further microscopy then diagnosed it as Ambylomma Testudinarium and patient was treated accordingly.

In tropical and developing countries such as India otologists must be aware and watchful of EAC infestations by arthropod vectors. Farmers are more prone to this zoonotic infection. Ticks consume a blood meal and hatch eggs, causing local irritation, perforations and hematogenic spread of infection.

Tick infestations though rare are perilous due to the risk of tick-borne infections, which have grave complications. The management must be holistic including the otological perspective with systemic treatment.
Effect of Processing on Nutritional Content and Protein Digestibility of Cowpea Grain in Broilers
Authors: Bumhira Edmore , Madzimure James
Published: October 2022

Dietary protein in broiler feeds comes mainly from soybean meal and to a lesser extent from animal protein. Nowadays, animal protein is not recommended as a broiler feed ingredient because it is associated with zoonotic diseases such as salmonellosis and soybean is very scarce in Zimbabwe due to low productivity. This shortage is causing an increase in the cost of soybean and making broiler production less viable. Shortage of soybean is forcing animal nutritionists to search for potential alternative sources of protein. Cowpea is the best alternative since it is locally available, cheap and drought tolerant. Cowpea use in broiler feed manufacture is limited because it contains some anti-nutritional factors which reduce protein digestibility and broiler growth performance. The objectives of this paper are to determine the effectiveness of dehulling, roasting and boiling cowpea on nutrient and anti-nutrient content, protein digestibility and broiler performance. The purpose of this review paper is to develop cost effective broiler diets from cowpea. Protein digestibility was measured by using ecxreta analysis through subtracting protein in excreta from protein in feed ingested and broiler weight gains were measured by subtracting final bird weight from previous bird weight. Feed conversion ratio was calculated from dividing weight of total feed eaten by weight gained by the birds.
Assemblies as Essences: to Realist Ontology by Manuel DeLanda
Authors: Chukin S.G.
Published: October 2022

The reason of remorse and rehabilitation of emergentism fixed in the Western philosophy of science was the inability of explanation of the new scientific facts without the aid of ontology with the freedom transcendant beings. Such an ontology, which considers individual objects accessible to calculation and analysis as the only legitimate carrier of essence, is called realistic. One of its variants was proposed by Manuel DeLanda and was called “assemblage theory”. The concept of “assemblage” makes, according to DeLanda, the concept of essence redundant, because it fully performs its functions of preserving the identity of the object throughout its existential history.

A Problem of Typology of the Models of Cognitive Resistance within the Context of the Soviet Philosophical Generations
Authors: Makarenko V.P.
Published: October 2022

The article examines the collective monograph edited by Y.V. Sineokaya on philosophical community of Moscow that includes the Soviet and post-Soviet philosophical generation of the USSR/Russia 1920–2010. Based on this material, the author develops further his interpretation of this phenomenon. He offers to transform an idea of Weber’s dissenting minorities into the main subject of political and philosophical analysis in the Soviet and post-Soviet philosophy. Based on his own life and scientific experience, the author conceptualizes the political and philosophical layer of the generation of the 1960s and underlines the importance of idea of the contradictory nature of thesaurus of philosophical and world-view concepts. He substantiates the hypothesis: axiological sphere of person develops earlier than its logical and epistemological one and determines some set of subsequent choices; conflicts take place within generation but between each other. That is why it is much more interesting to study a scope for variations between generations and biographies. Especially the measure of resistance, that individual can develop and implement to all impersonal values, collisions, and situations.
Public Private Partnership as a Tool to Improve Environmental Protection at the Local Management Level of China: Experience, Problems, Areas for Improvements
Authors: Yue Deng
Published: October 2022

At present, China's environmental situation is very severe, and the discharge of pollutants has approached or exceeded the environmental capacity. Traditional environmental governance methods can no longer effectively solve the problem of environmental pollution. However, the use of the public private partnership (PPP) model in the field of ecological environment can effectively solve the disadvantages of the traditional governance model, such as large funding gaps, poor management and control capabilities, and high operating costs. The application of the PPP model in the field of ecological environment is conducive to comprehensively improving the quality and efficiency of the supply of public products and services of the ecological environment, revitalizing existing assets, and broadening environmental protection investment and financing channels. In the environmental field, the scope and scale of public-private cooperation have begun to expand. The application of the PPP model for environmental governance is an innova-tive management tool for local governments in China to perform environmental functions.

In the popular film “Squadron of Flying Hussars” in the 80s, based on the memoirs of the partisan poet Denis Davydov about the war of 1812, the comic image of the Cossack officer Popov is derived. The service record of this officer was discovered in the State Archive of the Rostov region; it was investigated, using comparative and anthropological methods, and showed a huge difference between a real person and a movie hero. In addition, Popov's track record highlights some little-known aspects of the life of the Cossacks during that period.
“Basic Shamanismˮ as a Syncretic Phenomenon in Modern Culture
Authors: Polyakova Olga A.
Published: October 2022

The paper explores Michael Harner's “basic shamanism” as a syncretic phenomenon in modern culture. Neo-shamanism is considered as a subculture or syncretic form of new religious consciousness that combines with elements of traditional cultures and elements of modern psychology and mysticism (esotericism) in modern popular culture. The article defines the problem of the emergence and development of neo-shamanism with its significance in the spiritual life of society, and also examines the way of rebirth and transformation of shamanism through the journey of the shaman into an unseemly reality and by building a complete picture of the world (three worlds), that is, cartography. The phenomenon of neo-shamanism is considered as a new, popular, religious movement, represented in the modern culture of Europe, North America and Russia. It is noted that neo-shamanism is aimed at preserving traditional knowledge and transferring it to future generations by determining its nature, essence and influence on modern mass culture. As a result, it was revealed that shamanism is able not only to form, but also to develop relations between man and nature and record development prospects in modern culture.

A Series before the TV Series: George Martin’s First Fantasy Story
Authors: Sobutsky Mykhailo
Published: October 2022

In the article we concentrate our efforts on the detailed analysis of “The Lonely Songs of Laren Dorr”, the first fantasy story written by George R. R. Martin in 1976. Before that, he had written science fiction; and by now, we know him as the creator of the famous Game of Thrones. In this very first manifestation of George Martin’s creativity we can see some kind of a draft for future worlds of his own guided by the power of the Seven. They do not represent as yet different avatars of one and the same deity; rather, they are separate gods. Those gods are envious, cruel, and persecutory, which characteristics remind us of Ancient Greek ones. They steal Laren Dorr’s memory and even his dreams. Once he opposed them, and now he sings his lonely songs in a castle. Forever, because he is immortal.As well as immortal is a girl named Sharra who travels between worlds, searching her lost lover. Ancient gods hated excessive happiness of humans, and so do the Seven. The girl must struggle through innumerable gates between innumerable worlds, and after such a struggle she occasionally enters the lonely world of Laren Dorr. He tries to soothe her by his songs and his compassion, so that inevitably two solitary rebels against gods fall in love with each other.But not for a long time, in her case. After a while, she feels remorse and longs to return to her endless and hopeless search. He sighs and shows her a gate in the neighboring tower, explaining that there is always a guardian. Some try to stop her with force, some with lies. Only he tried to detain her with love, but he was true and never sang her false. He shoves her to the door. Now, he sings his lonely loving songs about her.George Martin’s Shakespearian inspiration obvious in the Game of Thrones was not enough to interpret this early story. We had to actualize ancient theories of love, as well as some medieval ones originating from the 12th century. As we know, Martin always combines those types of imagination.In our analysis we used the following concepts: ethics, desire, truth, and sentimentality. The former two are Lacanian and postmodern, the latter two ones lead us to the metamodern world of today. We cannot ignore the date of 1976 which is too early for a conscious metamodern outlook, but we believe in some kind of the writer’s insight of the forthcoming revival of sentimental moods, sometimes silenced and ephemeral, but always true.
Prince’s Trident on Frescoes and Graffiti of St. Sophia of Kyiv
Authors: Nikitenko Nadiia
Published: October 2022

The article, for the first time in academic research, puts and comprehensively considers a unique phenomenon of picturing seven images stylized under the lily of the prince’s tridents of Volodymyr on the frescoes and graffiti of St. Sophia of Kyiv, which elucidates the time of the cathedral construction and its prince-builder. They are singled out as separate compositions, “inserted” in the center of large narrative scenes of the religious and secular nature. Four tridents of Volodymyr are present in four frescoes of the vestry, decorated with scenes from the cycle of the Virgin; two more are present in the fresco of the north stair tower, which is part of the secular cycle that tells about the conclusion of dynastic marriage between Prince Volodymyr and Byzantine Princess Anna. Two inverted tridents of Volodymyr, drawn by his warriors after the death of the prince, were found in the graffiti of St. Sophia. They appeared around 1017 after Yaroslav’s capture of the Kyiv throne. Volodymyr’s trident on the walls of St. Sophia is a sign of his ownership of the temple and the glorification of the prince in the eyes of contemporaries and descendants. On the wall of the St. Michael’s altar of the cathedral there is a trident of Iziaslav Yaroslavych, similar to the lilies on the frescoes of the cathedral, which in the conditions of feud marked the right of this prince to Kyiv and St. Sophia, its heart. Iziaslav’s trident appeared here during the difficult period between 1068 and 1078. The prince’s tridents did not appear in the graffiti of Sophia spontaneously, as their authors were inspired by the urgent needs of life at that time. Like the oldest dated graffiti on its walls, mosaics, and frescoes, Prince Volodymyr’s tridents confirm the inference that St. Sophia was founded by Volodymyr the Great in 1011, and during his reign the cathedral was built and decorated with mosaics and frescoes. Instead, Yaroslav’s tridents were not found on the walls of St. Sophia.

The rich archaeological heritage of Ukraine is represented in museum expositions by various finds. Almost every region of Ukraine has unique archaeological sites. A much higher level of attraction gives the visitor a display in the exposition of the context of the find. However, there are almost no such contextual reconstructions. The purpose of this article is to highlight the place and role of contextual models of metallurgical production of the population of Ukraine in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages in the archaeological and historical exposition. Coal pits and ditches, ash pans, metallurgical furnaces, forges, slag dumps, etc. occupy a special place among archaeological objects for mock-ups. The remains of these industries have been studied at many Chimerian, Scythian, and early Slavic sites. Here are the most informative memos containing the remains of metallurgical production and related industries.At the settlement of Lymanske Lake of the Bondarykha culture, a raw-oak forge was found, attached to the wall of the dwelling as a shelter. This is a typical blacksmith’s metallurgical workshop, which can be subjected to a graphic reconstruction and reproduced in a museum exhibition. An oval raw-hearth furnace was discovered at the Sharpov settlement of the Scythian era. A device for slag release was traced, which is the most ancient in Ukraine (the 6th century). Thus, among the Scythians, two types of horns can be traced. The first species has two subspecies. The first subspecies are round forges deepened into the ground and the second subspecies are ground round or oval forges up to 1 m in diameter. Thus, the creation of models of metallurgical and other industries for the archaeological exposition of historical museums is an important component of creating strong museum communication. Due to the absence or impossibility of transferring the monument to the skansen, a full-scale model is the only way to convey outstanding archaeological monuments to visitors.
Transformation of the Museum Sphere in the Convention of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The article draws attention to the development of cultural and cognitive tourism in Ukraine in the context of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The degree of information technologies introduction as an effective form of museum work in the conditions of lockdown is analyzed. The level of activity of “museumvisitor” communications in social networks as the main platform for dialogue and work was assessed. Attention is paid to the role of panoramic photos, virtual tours, online tours as an effective marketing tool for self-promotion and a mechanism for saving the internal visitors in order for them to return in the future.Based on the collected material on traffic congestion, in the number of visits, posts, reposts, and preferences, a cluster analysis of information activity of cultural and cognitive tourism facilities was conducted and four centers were identified: Central-Eastern; Western; Southern; Northern. It was stated that the dynamics of information technology dissemination was more active in the Central-Eastern and Northern regions. The presence of a big number of large museums facilitated the involvement of volunteers or investors to digitize exhibitions or create virtual tours, in contrast to small regional ones which were distributed in the western regions of Ukraine. The seasonality of bursts of interest in information resources during the New Year holidays or summer vacations has been revealed.Statistical analysis of visitors to the information resources of museums by age, sex, geography of residence helped to draw attention to the characteristics of visitors. The data showed that the majority of visitors (80 %) belonged to local users, which suggests the need to promote them, especially in other regions of Ukraine, in order to intensify domestic tourism. This practice will not only increase the tourist flow of Ukraine, but also the cultural and tourist integration of citizens. At the same time, women showed greater interest in information resources, which indicates the need to take into account these features in building the marketing strategy of museums in the information space.
