A CHANGİNG MOSCOW: IMAGE OF THE CAPİTAL İN THE WORKS BY YU. TRİFONOV AND YU. POLYAKOV
Authors: Ibadova N.
Published: February 2024

The article compares the poetics of embodiment of the image of Moscow in the prose of outstanding Russian writers Yu. Polyakov and Yu. Trifonov. The image of Moscow in the works of Trifonov and Polyakov is autobiographical and filled with the signs of time and the authors’personal attitudes. Moscow in the works of both writers has temporal and spatial multilayeredness. Urban toponymy is widely represented in the literary works of both authors. Both of them resort to the use of spatial oppositions. In Yu. Polyakov's work a new spatial opposition "city - province" appears, mythologems are actualized, which are absent in Trifonov's works. The authors' attitudes to the ongoing changes differ: if Trifonov is dominated by the nostalgia for old Moscow, Polyakov, a master of "the grotesque realism", depicts urban realities satirically.
NEUROLITERATURE AS A PHENOMENON OF MODERN LITERARY PROCESS
Authors: Dvortsova N.
Published: February 2024

The article studies a phenomenon of neuroliterature [literature written by artificial neural net-works (ANN)] as a direction for the development of digital literature in the context of the problems of digital humanities. The following controversial issues related to the understanding of neuroliterature are analyzed: the role of ANN technologies, phenomena of the neuro-author, copyright, genres (neuro-novel, neuro-story, neuro-lyrics, neuro-fan fiction, etc.), possibilities and boundaries of AI in the field of human creativity. The author suggests understanding of neuroliterature as a technological and linguistic experiment, explains the logic of its development, and identifies a typology of its trends in 2010-2020.

Authors: Marquezin Cássia Alessandra , Darolt Mucke Bruna Eduarda
Published: February 2024

Sondas fluorescentes hidrofóbicas no estudo de membranas modelo têm sido amplamente utilizadas, pois apresentam dinâmicas rotacionais diferentes para diversos ambientes lipídicos, sendo capazes de monitorar a fluidez da bicamada lipídica e os mecanismos dependentes deste fator. Entretanto, a eficácia do uso de sondas fluorescentes anfipáticas deve ser avaliada uma vez que a localização dessas sondas na membrana pode causar uma falha no monitoramento do empacotamento das cadeias graxas. Foram apresentados, neste trabalho, resultados da fluorescência estática da sonda AHBA (2-Amino-N-hexadecilbenzamida) utilizada em estudos do comportamento de fase de vesículas lipídicas (lipossomas) formadas por misturas lipídicas e contendo colesterol. Foram variados, na produção dos lipossomas, o comprimento da cadeia hidrocarbônica dos lipídeos, bem como o tipo de cabeça polar: fosfatidilcolina (PC) e fosfatidilglicerol (PG). Parâmetros como intensidade de fluorescência, deslocamento espectral e anisotropia estática foram obtidos para o AHBA, inserido nas diferentes bicamadas lipídicas. A anisotropia estática se mostrou o parâmetro mais adequado no monitoramento da transição da fase gel para a fase fluida da bicamada, detectando ainda a presença de colesterol no sistema, enquanto os resultados de deslocamento espectral mostraram que o AHBA possui baixa sensibilidade a alterações de polaridade discretas no ambiente ao seu redor.

Criteria for the Integration of Term Banks in the Professional Translation Environment
Authors: Candel-Mora Miguel Ángel
Published: February 2024

Translation-oriented terminology management is not only limited to the study of terminology problems with regards to specialization, currency, and reliability. The integration of terminology data bases within CAT tools facilitating their use, maintenance and retrieval towards the automation of the translation process and consistency of terminology has also attracted attention from the academia and the language industry alike. However, this approach to terminology management seems to be carried out from a mostly theoretical perspective. Thus, the aim of this paper is to present the results of a survey conducted among professional translators in Spain regarding their actual experience with terminology in order to identify potential gaps between the technological offer and the specific needs of translators.
Del «texto» al «contexto» en la traducción comercial: bases de un modelo para la transversalidad de la traducción

Si bien el texto ha sido central en la investigación y formación en traducción comercial, el contexto traslativo resulta no menos importante. El contexto comunicativo (clave de las propuestas funcionalistas), el profesional (base de los enfoques situacionales), así como el propio contexto académico (en línea con el paradigma educativo de Bolonia y la necesidad del aprendizaje centrado en el alumno) ponen el foco de atención sobre las variables del entorno educativo y profesional. Con la preocupación de responder al rol de la universidad en la preparación global de los sujetos para la sociedad y el mercado laboral, exploraremos la proyección de estos enfoques traslativos para el fomento de la empleabilidad, la diversificación y la reconceptualización de la traducción hoy, en un modelo dinámico que permita un análisis más allá del texto. Tomaremos como base la traducción comercial por ser una modalidad traslativa en la que confluyen, a nuestro parecer, lo transversal y lo específico de la actividad traductora, y un entorno de aprendizaje que nos ayuda a abordar la transversalidad de la traducción (Calvo 2010).
Lactobacilli and lactic acid in maintaining and restoring women’s health
Authors: Nosenko O.M. , Demidchik R.Ya.
Published: February 2024

The review article presents modern data on the vaginal microbiota as a component of the female microbiome in normal and pathological conditions. The compositions of different types of vaginal community and their role in ensuring women’s health are described. It is emphasized that lactobacilli, including L. crispatus, L. gasseri, L. jensenii, L. vaginalis, L. iners, are associated with healthy vaginal microbiota, while L. iners is also related to transitional and dysbiotic stages.All types of lactobacilli produce lactic acid, acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide, and maintain a vaginal pH of less than 4.5, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and excessive Candida albicans and, therefore, protect against the pathogens of bacterial vaginosis and vaginal candidiasis.The article provides data on the key role of lactic acid as a microbicidal and virulicidal factor with immunomodulatory activity. The role of colonization resistance of the vagina is highlighted. The importance of dysbiotic states of the vaginal microbiota in the development of adverse consequences for women’s health was analyzed.Existing methods of treatment of dysbiotic conditions of the vagina are described, which include such antibiotics as metronidazole, clindamycin, estrogen therapy, lactic and boric acids, probiotics, and transplantation of vaginal microbiota. Traditional antibacterial therapy for bacterial vaginosis with metronidazole or clindamycin does not always provide high efficacy in the long term, and there is a high rate of recurrence and cases of vaginal candidiasis after treatment.Systemic use of antibiotics has significant side effects. New strategies help improve treatment outcomes. The use of probiotics can improve the vaginal flora, increase the number of beneficial bacteria, reduce the number of harmful bacteria and further maintain the stability of the vaginal flora environment.The article also describes the advantages of a vaginal probiotic, which is a complex preparation that includes the most common, identical live lactobacilli in high concentration in combination with lactic acid, as an effective modern local support and preventive agent for dysbiotic conditions of the cervical and vaginal microbiota.

Authors: Marushko Yurii , Dmytryshyn Olha
Published: February 2024

Today the health status of school-age children after suffering from COVID-19 is an urgent medical problem all over the world. The study of indicators of quality of life (QoL) is of great practical importance for children and adolescents. QoL is a multidimensional concept that takes into account physical, mental and social aspects of well-being and functioning
The objective: to analyze the quality of life indicators in school-age children who suffered from COVID-19 of varying degrees of severity.
Materials and methods. The study included 155 children from 6 to 18 years old, who were divided into groups. The main group included 120 children with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 in the anamnesis and a period after COVID-19 of more than 12 weeks. The control group included 35 somatically healthy children who did not suffer from COVID-19, and were the same age as individuals in the main group. The patients of the main group were divided into three groups: I group – 49 children who had mild COVID-19; II group – 40 children who suffered from moderate severity of COVID-19; III group – 31 children who fell ill with COVID-19 with a severe course.
Quality of life indicators were assessed using a questionnaire based on the PedQL 4.0 scale. General clinical (analysis of anamnesis data, objective examination) and statistical research methods were also used.
Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the average score of the final assessment of the state of physical health in the main group was 76.64±8.62 points, in the control group – 87.68±6.01 points (p<0.001). The average score of the final assessment of psychosocial health in the main group was 68.57±7.67 points, in the control group – 85.43±6.21 points (p<0.001). The average value of the total score on the PedsQL 4.0 scale in the main group was 72.61±6.69 points, in the control group – 86.55±5.1 points (p<0.001). The lowest indicators of the final assessment of the state of physical health, psychosocial health and the total score on the PedsQL 4.0 scale were found in the III group, the highest indicators – in the I group (statistical difference from the control group p<0.01).
A rank negative correlation of medium strength was determined between the indicator of the final assessment of the physical state of health and the total score on the PedsQL 4.0 scale and severity of COVID-19 (r=–0.626; p<0.001, r=–0.615; p<0.001, respectively). A negative weak rank correlation was established between the index of the final assessment of the psychosocial state of health and the degree of severity of COVID-19 (r=–0.364; р<0.001).
Conclusions. The results of the study indicate that acute COVID-19 affects the quality of life of children. The impact of the coronavirus disease affects various indicators and areas of QoL in children and depends on the severity of COVID-19. Severe COVID-19 has an equally negative impact on all areas of the quality of life of children and adolescents.

Authors: Tkachenko Viktoriia
Published: February 2024

The full-scale invasion of the russian federation into Ukraine led to the fact that, from the first days a significant number of territorial communities of the Kyiv region were in zones of active war activity and were temporarily occupied and suffered direct losses from ongoing hostilities.
The objective: to study the state of primary medical care (PMC) in the Kyiv region in 2022.
Materials and methods. Statistical reports of PMC institutions of the Kyiv region and reports of the National Health Service of Ukraine were analyzed. Statistical analysis was carried out using Excel 2007, SPSS, Statistica 6.0 programs.
Results. Despite the hostilities and occupation of Kyiv region territories, the destruction and damage of health care facilities, 72% of them were restored thanks to various funding programs during 2022. It was possible to preserve the personnel potential of PMC, which ensured the continuity and availability of medical services to the population.
Today special attention is paid to the development of mental health care at the PMC level. However, such problems as the insufficient number of doctors and nursing medical staff, as well as insufficient equipment and material support, remain unsolved. The significant problems at the state level are the improvement of the digital health care system, electronic document flow and approaches to reporting, analysis of the health status of the population, statistical data, indicators of the quality of medical care.
Conclusions. Today the certain successes have been achieved in the development of PMC in the Kyiv region in accordance with the current legislation of Ukraine at the pace and according to the general trends observed throughout the country. Despite the occupation and hostilities, it was possible to maintain the save of medical services at a sufficient level.
State institutions and local self-government institutions need to pay attention to the recommendations of the WHO on the implementation of tasks aimed at achieving the goals of sustainable development, improving the health of the population as a whole by strengthening PMC, which is the most inclusive, effective and efficient approach to ensuring the improvement of services and the preservation of public health and well-being.
Medical services should be aimed to increase the expected length of healthy life, reduce the number of hospitalizations, increase the public’s trust in services, increase the population’s literacy in health matters; to provide of attractive career opportunities for medical personnel, etc.
Nursing Assessment of Health Status in the Elderly People Care
Authors: Kotsaba Yuliia , Babinets Liliia
Published: February 2024

The article presents the peculiarities of the organization of nursing care for the elderly people. The cornerstone of gerontological nursing care is a complex assessment of patients’ health. It is known that the medical care needs of the elderly people are composite, caused by a combination of age-related changes, chronic diseases, heredity and lifestyle.
When assessing and providing assistance to older people, the healthcare team includes doctors from various medical disciplines, medical nurses, social workers, confessors, pharmacists, rehabilitation specialists, etc. Each team member contributes, and the nurse can often draw on the knowledge of others to improve the assessment process. She must provide nursing care in a timely and compassionate manner.
Medical nurses provide care for older adults, so it is vital for them to note any signs of change in mental and general status based on the patient’s baseline. After all, the physical and social environment can support or suppress the abilities of an older person.
Improving medical nurses’ skills in comprehensive geriatric assessment is fundamental for the effective management of older people. Drawing up and implementing a rational individual patient care plan can improve health outcomes and increase the confidence of nursing staff. The important components of a comprehensive geriatric assessment are the functional and physical assessments of the condition of the main human organs and systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, sensory organs, skin, genitourinary system and others).
A comprehensive assessment consists of objective and subjective elements, and how assessment data is interpreted is important.

Authors: Smashna Olena
Published: February 2024

The objective: approbation of the effectiveness of modified Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in a complex treatment of patients with comorbidity of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Materials and methods. 329 veterans from three clinical groups: individuals with PTSD (n=109), with mild TBI (n=112) and with comorbid PTSD + TBI (n=108), underwent a course of combined therapy lasting 8 weeks: in addition to standard therapy, they received psychotherapeutic intervention (psychoeducation with elements of motivational interviewing and acceptance and commitment therapy for PTSD) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
The evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment, in addition to a comprehensive psychodiagnostic examination before and after the therapy, included the Quality of Life Assessment Scale (O. Chaban).
Results. Based on the obtained data, we can assume that representatives of the PTSD group, who initially evaluated the quality of social aspects of their lives more negatively, after the therapy looked more positively at the emotionally colored spheres of life (sex and mood). At the same time, after the therapy, the feeling of satisfaction with life was more positively assessed by those patients who were more satisfied with their life conditions before the therapy, and a higher assessment of the quality of life after the therapy was observed in those patients who, even before the therapy, had a higher level of satisfaction with your sex life.
Summarizing the obtained data, it can be asserted that as a result of the therapy, the best results in the direction of increasing self-esteem of the quality of life were achieved precisely in relation to patients with PTSD/TBI.
Conclusions. Complex treatment of patients with comorbid PTSD and TBI using modified acceptance and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in combination of standard treatment and tDCS is a promising individual treatment methodology in this patient population.

Published: February 2024

The objective: to determine the bone mineral density (BMD), bone tissue quality index (TBS) and to analyze the salt transport in patients with and without urolithiasis.
Materials and methods. For qualitatively assess of crystalluria, a study of salt transport was conducted. Evaluation of the structural and functional state of bone tissue was performed on the basis of the Ukrainian Osteoporosis Center of the State University “Institute of Gerontology named after D. F. Chebotareva of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine” by X-ray absorptiometry of the “Hologic Discovery” apparatus.
80 persons (15 men and 65 women) were included in the study, the average age of the patients was 58 years. Study participants were divided into two groups depending on the presence of urolithiasis. I group (n=32) included patients without urolithiasis with somatic diseases in the remission stage, who had no signs of exclusion criteria. Osteoporosis was diagnosed in 9 (28.1%) women of this group. Patients with urolithiasis were included in the II group (n=48). Osteoporosis was diagnosed in 18 (37.5%) women and 3 (6.25%) men in this group.
Results. It was established that 21 (26.2%) patients had BMD within the normal range, 29 (36.3%) patients had BMD abnormalities within the limits of osteopenia, and 30 (37.6%) patients had osteoporosis, namely: 27 (33.8%) women and 3 (3.8%) men.
Analysis of BMD status demonstrated that normal densitometric values were comparable in both groups (31.2% without urolithiasis and 22.9% patients with nephrolithiasis; p>0.05). The incidence of osteopenia in patients with urolithiasis (33.3%) and without urolithiasis (40.7%) and the number of cases of detected osteoporosis also did not significantly differ (43.8% and 28.1%, respectively; p>0.05).
During X-ray absorptiometry it was found that the TBS bone quality index was significantly lower in patients with urolithiasis (p<0.05). A comparative analysis of salt transport demonstrated that blood uric acid levels in patients with urolithiasis were significantly higher (p=0.02) than those in patients without nephrolithiasis.
Conclusions. The results of the study indicate the need for ultrasound examination of the kidneys and salt transport when checking BMD in patients at risk of osteoporosis for early diagnosis of nephrolithiasis and correction of crystalluria. Since a decrease in TBS even with a normal BMD is also an increased risk factor for bone fractures, its timely identification and correction are extremely important in patients with nephrolithiasis.
The obtained data indicate the need to conduct a correlational analysis of risk factors in the group of patients with nephrolithiasis, in particular, the influence of the state of the bone system, the TBS indicator and crystalluria.

Cycles, cooperativity, and molecular machines (Chapter 8)
Authors: Zuckerman Daniel
Published: February 2024

Molecular machines such as transporters, motors, and genome processors underpin much of cell biology, and these in turn must be understood using biochemical cycles. This chapter lays out the basic biophysics of cycles, from rate constants to free energies, and illustrates how cycles are driven to perform biologically useful functions. Starting from simple conformational and binding cycles, the chapter builds up to a simple description of secondary active transport, in which free energy stored in one chemical species is used "pump" another. The phenomenon of "coupling" (or cooperativity), in which one step of a process affects another, plays a key role in the function of molecular machines and can be understood on both a kinetic and free energy basis.
Effect of client-centered care training among healthcare workers on health systems responsiveness at selected facilities in Nairobi City County, Kenya
Authors: Kuria Lucy Muthoni
Published: February 2024

Pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Nairobi City County health facilities may experience significant unresponsiveness of the healthcare system as a result of inadequate application of client-centered care (CCC) in service delivery. Health facility characteristics and healthcare providers’ familiarity with CCC may be responsible for such inadequacies. This study aims to investigate the effect of CCC training among healthcare workers on health systems responsiveness (HSR) in selected healthcare facilities within Nairobi City County. A cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) will be conducted where HSR will be measured by interviewing pregnant women visiting the antenatal care services, before and after training the healthcare workers on CCC. A total of 8 health facilities will be selected with 4 being allocated into the intervention group and 4 in the control through random selection. Healthcare workers at the facilities within the intervention group will be trained on CCC whereas those working in health facilities within the control group will continue to offer services based on their standard care training. The intervention period will be one week after which the healthcare workers will be left to implement the knowledge acquired. The outcome will be HSR measured using the WHO 7 domains, by interviewing a calculated sample of 774 pregnant women visiting the antenatal care clinics in the eight health facilities. This measurement will be done before intervention and four weeks post- intervention to determine if the training will have brought some difference. The researcher will also collect qualitative data to explore health workers trainees’ and facilitators’ experiences with the intervention. The results of this study will provide important information on the effectiveness of CCC training for healthcare workers on HSR. If the intervention will be found to be effective, it will have the potential to be implemented as part of training for healthcare workers and this could help improve client satisfaction as well as the well-being of this vulnerable population and their unborn babies. The intervention could then be replicated in other similar facilities and in addition have the CCC content included in the training curriculum for healthcare workers.
An ensemble neural network approach for space-time landslide predictive modelling
Authors: Lim Jana , Santinelli Giorgio , Dahal Ashok , Vrieling Anton , Lombardo Luigi
Published: February 2024

There is an urgent need for accurate and effective Landslide Early Warning Systems (LEWS). Most LEWS are currently based on a single temporally-aggregated measure of rainfall derived from either in-situ measurements or satellite-based rainfall estimates. Relying on a summary metric of precipitation may not capture the complexity of the rainfall signal and its dynamics in space and time in triggering landslides. Here, we present a proof-of-concept for constructing a LEWS that is based on an integrated spatio-temporal modelling framework. Our proposed methodology builds upon a recent approach that uses a daily rainfall time series instead of the traditional cumulated scalar approximation. Specifically, we partition the study area into slope units and use a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to process a satellite-derived rainfall time series and combine the output features with a second neural network (NN) tasked with capturing the effect of terrain characteristics. To assess if our approach enhances accuracy, we applied it in Vietnam and compared it against a standard modelling approach that incorporates terrain characteristics and cumulative rainfall over 14 days. Our protocol leads to better performance in hindcasting landslides when using past rainfall estimates (CHIRPS), as compared to the standard modelling approach. While not tested here, our approach can be extended to rainfall obtained from weather forecasts, potentially leading to actual landslide forecasts.

Global studies on phytoplankton phenology remain challenging primarily because of sparse observations. The Data Interpolation Empirical Orthogonal Function (DINEOF) algorithm has been used successfully to reconstruct datasets of geophysical and biological variables such as sea surface temperature (SST) and Chlorophyll a (Chl a). We propose an improved version of DINEOF, DINEOF+, based on a comprehensive validation that show DINEOF+ is an appropriate method for studying chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations in the ocean. Error analysis reveals that 75 percent of missing data (PMD) is a reasonable threshold for applying DINEOF+ to reconstruct incomplete datasets. DINEOF+ improves accuracy over the original DINEOF by integrating connectivity filter that further reduces the errors caused by missing data. We successfully apply DINEOF+ to the OC-CCI global daily Chl a dataset. We find that the recovery rate varies across ocean basins and years. In oligotrophic waters, the daily data coverage increased by 40–50% during the period from 2003 to 2020. Using DINEOF+ allows us to obtain a significantly higher temporal resolution of global Chl a data, which will improve understanding of marine phytoplankton dynamics in response to changing environments.
Developmental refinements to neural attentional state during semantic memory retrieval through adolescence
Authors: Vijayarajah Sagana , Schlichting Margaret
Published: February 2024

Despite the fact that attention undergoes protracted development, little is known about how it may support memory refinements in childhood and adolescence. Here, we asked whether people differentially focus their attention on semantic or perceptual information over development during memory retrieval. First, we trained a multivoxel classifier to characterize whole-brain neural patterns reflecting semantic versus perceptual attention in a cued attention task. We then used this classifier to quantify how attention varied in a separate dataset in which children, adolescents, and adults retrieved autobiographical, semantic, and episodic memories. All age groups demonstrated a semantic attentional bias during memory retrieval, with significant age differences in this bias during the semantic task. Trials began with a preparatory picture cue followed by a retrieval question, which allowed us to ask whether attentional biases varied by trial period. Adults showed a semantic bias earlier during the picture cues, whereas adolescents showed this bias during the question. Adults and adolescents also engaged different brain regions—superior parietal cortex and ventral visual regions, respectively—during preparatory picture cues. Our results demonstrate that retrieval-related attention undergoes refinement beyond childhood. These findings suggest that alongside expanding semantic knowledge, attention-related changes may support the maturation of factual knowledge retrieval.

Adoption of silvicultural system aims to enhance the regeneration of desired species. Irregular shelterwood system was initiated in Shorea robusta dominated forest under different forest management regimes including community forest in lowland forest of Nepal. The present study was conducted in 2023 to compare the regeneration status and species diversity between the two different management practices (scientific forest management and conventional forest management) in Patela Community Forest in far-western lowland of Nepal. A total of 27 quadrat sample plots (each with 4 m2) were established at a spacing of 50 m x 50 m across the three scientifically managed blocks, each with an area of 2.14 ha. An equal number of sample plots (27) were established within the conventionally managed blocks. Important Value Index, Sorenson’s Similarity Indices, and the distribution patterns of each species were calculated in both the management blocks to compare the species diversity. Shapiro-Wilk test was performed to check the normality of regeneration count, and a two-sample t-test was employed to examine the significant differences in the mean count of the plant species. The present study revealed that the conventionally managed forest block has higher species diversity; however, the number of seedlings was significantly high in the scientifically managed forest blocks. The Important Value Index Analysis indicated that S. robusta was dominant tree species in both the management blocks followed by Terminalia tomentosa; however, there was higher number of S. robusta regeneration under the scientifically managed blocks. The study concludes that irregular shelter-wood system is effective for regulating S. robusta forests in the western lowlands of Nepal.
The Neuhauses and Proletarian Culture. Intersection Points
Authors: Dolhikh Maryna
Published: February 2024

The article, based on the materials of the local press, analyzes the directions of cooperation of the Yelysavetgrad family of Neuhaus with the Bolshevik regime in 1920–1922. The forms and types of cultural and educational work, typical for the period of the dominance of Proletarian culture as an organization of self-made creativity in the artistic field are depicted in a panoramic view - the activities of workers' groups, studios at clubs, the introduction of lectures-concerts with the practical participation of workers, peasants and soldiers. The introduction of the ideas of proletarian culture in the conditions of the destructive phase of the replacement of professional categories by populist tendencies is considered, which led to the leveling of professional musical art, the loss of positions of importance of consistent professional musical education in contrast to accessible amateurism.

The main trends of the musical life of the town of Yelisavetgrad at the beginning of the Soviet regime were analyzed: the introduction of total control for professional musicians, registration of instruments, military service. Found documents regarding the confiscation of keyboard instruments (grand pianos, pianos, harmoniums) with further squandering and complete destruction of valuable piano instruments on the territory of the region are published.

The performing participation of O.M. and G.W. Neuhaus, representatives of their families and former students in the cycles of historical concerts-lectures «Fires» and «Palace of Science and Art» for the proletarian public is described, the programs and the theme of the events are analyzed. The importance of concertsclavierbands, chamber performances-rehearsals of H.G. Neuhaus in Yelisavetgrad is interpreted against a background of the processes of educating a new proletarian audience. The reasons for the voluntary-compulsory return of the Neuhaus family as veterans of the pedagogical field to active concert activity are determined.
The Specific of Folk Song Arrangements in Yaroslav Vereshchagin's Vocal Cycles
Authors: Trusenko Sofiia
Published: February 2024

It is well known that the genre of folk song arrangement is widespread in Ukrainian music, as the folklore heritage of Ukraine is extremely rich and diverse. It is not surprising that authentic folklore samples have become a source of inspiration for many composers and performers. Artists use the folk melody in their work, embodying it through modern arrangements and processing. This approach allows not only to preserve the historical heritage, but also to give it a new sound. The analysis of musicological research shows that every Ukrainian composer in his work intentionally or subconsciously uses elements of Ukrainian folklore, and Yaroslav Vereshchagin is no exception.

Ya. Vereshchahin (1948-1999) was a bright master of the pen in the field of chamber music, a sophisticated artist of the poetic word. At the moment, the home archive of the composer's daughter Bohdana contains about 120 works of various genres, 48 of which were written for the voice accompanied by piano and chamber ensemble. It is especially worth noting the composer's love for creating vocal cycles: there are 14 of them in his oeuvre, each of which consists of two to four vocal miniatures. Unfortunately, to date, only 11 cycles have been fully discovered, and among them are arrangements of Ukrainian folk songs - two vocal cycles for voice and piano «Two Ukrainian Hayivkas» and «Two Ukrainian Songs». The relevance and novelty of the study lies in the choice of works by Ya. Vereshchagin for analysis that have not been covered yet in musicology.

The object of the study is the vocal cycles «Two Ukrainian Groves» and «Two Ukrainian Songs» by Ya. Vereshchagin. The subject of the study is the specificity of Ya. Vereshchagin's arrangements of Ukrainian folk songs. The purpose of the study is to analyze Ya. Vereshchagin's work with the folklore source on the example of the vocal cycles «Two Ukrainian Groves» and «Two Ukrainian Songs».

In conclusion, on the basis of the analyzed arrangements of Ukrainian folk songs, the basic principles of Ya. Vereshchagin's compositional work with the folklore source is indicated, which allow generalizing the concept of the composer's compositional style on the example of the analyzed works. In the course of a comparative analysis of these arrangements, signs of late Romantic and post-Romantic stylistic coloring are clearly traced, which testifies to the affinity with the compositional vocabulary of Western European and domestic composers of the late XIX - mid XX centuries. In particular, the vividly altered intra-fret dissonance appeals to the creative searches of B. Bartok, Z. Kodály, B. Liatoshynsky, and L. Revutsky. At the same time, in some pieces, in particular in «Willow Plank», one can feel the influence of jazz stylistics inspired by the creative experience of M. Skoryk, whose student Ya. Vereshchagin was.

The aspect considered in the publication suggests further research on the example of analyzing other artistic ideas of the artist, which will be the goal of the author's next work.
Исследование развития критического мышления будущих учителей
Authors: Мырзатаева Г.Н.
Published: February 2024

Статья посвящена проблеме развития критического мышления студентов педагогических специальностей – будущих учителей. Отмечается актуальность развития критического мышления будущих учителей, как в плане выработки универсальных навыков, так и в аспекте готовности к будущей педагогической деятельности. Авторами приведены данные эмпирического исследования уровня критического мышления студентов педагогических специальностей, с использованием современного диагностического инструментария: тест по Уотсону–Глэйзеру, адаптированный тест критического мышления по Л. Старки, анкетирование на предмет изучения готовности будущих учителей к развитию критического мышления школьников. Уровни критического мышления студентов оценивались по параметрам их развития с использованием методики Уотсона–Глэйзера и Л. Старки. Анкетирование на предмет изучения готовности будущих учителей к развитию критического мышления школьников позволило определить готовность студентов – будущих учителей к развитию критического мышления школьников по трем параметрам: осознание необходимости развития критического мышления для профессионально-педагогической деятельности; знание теории критического мышления; владение методами и технологиями критического мышления и их использование в реальных педагогических ситуациях. Приведены результаты изучения и анализа критического мышления студентов. По итогам исследования развития критического мышления будущих учителей сделан вывод о необходимости целенаправленной работы по его развитию, причем в двух направлениях: в процессе преподавания и учения для развития универсальных навыков студентов; для формирования профессионально-педагогической готовности к развитию критического мышления школьников в будущей педагогической деятельности
