Authors: Grigoriadis Ioannis
Published: April 2022

SARS-CoV-2 variants with spike (S)-protein D614G mutations now
predominate globally and increase infectivity by assembling more
functional S protein into the virion. In this paper, I combine topology
geometric methods for the generation of novel drug designs by using
generalized k - nearest neighbors within a quantum computing chemical
context targeting in a atomistic level the S proteins with aspartic acid
(SD614) and glycine (SG614) at residue 614 protein apparatus. In this
effort, I propose powerful enough computer - aided rational drug design
strategies to achieve very high accuracy levels for the generation of AI

Published: April 2022

Purpose. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in the surgical treatment of
early stage breast cancer is currently employed as part of the routine
protocol. Recent studies have shown the use hemosiderin, a new marker
derived from the patient’s blood, capable of facilitating the surgical
procedure. However, the hypothesis that the blood-derived marker would
be hemosiderin arose only from clinical data and preliminary research.
This study aimed to study the blood derivative characteristics, leading
to clarification of the main substance responsible for SLN marking.
Methods. Preclinical tests were conducted in Wistar rats to evaluate SLN
tissue marking. After obtaining hemoglobin, the fraction was assessed,
and lymphatic mapping and SLN identification of the popliteal region
were performed. Drainage time, standard concentration, tissue marking
after proteolysis, and thermostability were assayed. Histopathological
evaluation by optical microscopy following the animal procedure. Box
plots were generated for graphic presentation. Results. It was found
that hemoglobin is the main responsible for the labeling of SLN. This
labeling process can be optimized by applying 3% nitrite and protease
inhibitors to the hemoglobin concentrate for 48h, respecting the
drainage time of 2h maintaining the sample temperature at 25°C.
Conclusion. This study demonstrates the possible clinical applicability
of the hemoderivative protein as a tissue marker in identifying the
sentinel lymph node in early and locally advanced breast cancer. The
marking process is optimized by standardizing the homeostatic conditions
of the biological marker.

Infinitely many solutions for a Ψ-Hilfer fractional problem
Authors: Salari Amjad
Published: April 2022

Ψ-Hilfer fractional derivative as a generalization of many important
nonlocal derivatives such as Riemann-Liouville, Caputo and Hadamard
fractional derivatives, has a great importance in fractional
calculations and theory of fractional differential equations.
Accordingly, in this paper, we study the multiplicity results for
Ψ-Hilfer fractional problems. Specially, our goal is to establish the
existence of infinitely many nontrivial or distinct weak solutions for a
nonlocal Ψ-Hilfer fractional problem by using critical point theory.
Extreme environmental conditions lead to a collapsed avian soundscapes; an agent-based model
Authors: Pandit Meelyn , Bridge Eli , Ross Jeremy
Published: April 2022

Climate change is increasing aridity in grassland and desert habitats
across the southwestern United States, reducing available resources and
drastically changing the breeding habitat of many bird species.
Increases in aridity reduce sound propagation distances, potentially
impacting habitat soundscapes, and leading to a breakdown of the avian
soundscapes in the form of loss of vocal culture, reduced mating
opportunities, and local population extinctions. We developed an
agent-based model to examine how changes in aridity will affect both
sound propagation and the ability of territorial birds to audibly
contact their neighbors. We simulated vocal signal attenuation under a
variety of environmental scenarios for the south central semi-arid
prairies of the United States, ranging from contemporary weather
conditions to predicted extremes under climate change. We also simulated
how changes in physiological conditions, mainly evaporative water loss
(EWL), would affect singing behavior. Under extreme climate change
conditions, we found significantly fewer individuals successfully
contacted all adjacent neighbors than did individuals in either the
contemporary or mean climate change conditions. We also found that at
higher sound frequencies and higher EWL, fewer individuals were able to
successfully contact all of their neighbors, particularly in the extreme
and extreme climate change conditions. These results indicate that
climate change-mediated aridification may disrupt the avian soundscape,
such that vocal communication no longer effectively functions for mate
attraction or territorial defense. As climate change progresses
increased aridity in current grasslands may favor shifts toward low
frequency songs, colonial resource use, and altered songbird community
compositions.

Authors: Bojanic Vlatka , Ljubojevic Vesna , Nozica-Radulovic Tatjana , Lazovic Milica
Published: April 2022

Introduction/Objective. The frequency of a sedentary lifestyle during pregnancy increases. This contributes to gestational weight gain and has a negative impact on health. This study researched the impact of prenatal exercise on gestational weight gain, blood pressure, and microcirculation in pregnant women who exercised and those who did not exercise. Methods. The study included 70 pregnant women with a normal pregnancy, who attended a psychophysical preparation program for childbirth for eight weeks. The control group (n = 35) attended theoretical classes on childbirth, and the experimental group (n = 35) attended prenatal exercises as well. Gestational weight gain, blood pressure, and nailfold capillary density were determined and compared between the two groups. Results. Gestational weight gain of 19.94 kg in non-exercising pregnant women was significantly greater than the gestational weight gain of 11.65 kg in pregnant women who exercised. Pregnant women who did not exercise had an increase in systolic (by 15.56 mmHg) and diastolic pressure (by 16.08 mmHg), which is significantly higher compared to pregnant women who exercised. In this group, systolic pressure increased by 2.5 mmHg, while the diastolic one did not change. A significant difference in the nailfold capillary density at the end of the prenatal program has not been determined. Conclusion. Prenatal exercise of moderate-intensity has a positive effect on gestational weight gain and the level of blood pressure in pregnant women. The nailfold capillary density has not differed significantly after the prenatal program in pregnant women who have exercised and in those who have not.

Introduction/Objective. In this study, we have pointed out the immunohistomorphometric characteristics of somatotropic (GH) and folliculostellate (FS) cells of the male pituitary gland during ageing. Methods. On histological sections of the pituitary gland of 14 male cadavers of different ages, the GH and FS cells were immunohistochemically labeled with corresponding antibodies, monoclonal anti-GH antibody, and polyclonal anti-S100 antibody, respectively. Immunopositive GH- and FS-cells were further morphometrically analyzed using ImageJ software. Results. The obtained results of morphometric analysis showed that the surface area of GH cells increased significantly with age. In these cells, the nuclear?cytoplasmic ratio gradually decreased and became significantly higher after the age of 70 years. The volume density of GH cells has not changed during ageing, while in FS cells this parameter significantly increased in the cases older than 70 years. The nuclear?cytoplasmic ratio of GH cells is negatively correlated with the volume density of FS cells. Conclusion. Based on the obtained results, we concluded that hypertrophy of GH and FS cells occurs in men with ageing and that correlation between the morphometric parameters of these two cell types indicates their mutual interaction.
The Syntax of 1 Peter: Just How Good Is the Greek?
Authors: Jobes Karen H.
Published: April 2022

The Greek of 1 Peter is almost unanimously viewed as being the quality of a highly-educated native Greek writer. This study applies a quantitative analysis of the syntax of 1 Peter in comparison to that of Polybius, Josephus, 1 Thessalonians, and Hebrews 5–9, showing that there is a significant degree of Semitic interference in 1 Peter. The study concludes that 1 Peter was probably written by a Semitic speaker for whom Greek was a second language.
A Linguistic Approach to Ellipsis in Biblical Poetry: (Or, What to Do When Exegesis of What Is There Depends on What Isn't)
Authors: Miller Cynthia L.
Published: April 2022

Biblical Hebrew poetry frequently exhibits ellipsis (or, gapping) of the verb, but the precise patterns of ellipsis have not been identified previously. A linguistic approach to ellipsis involves identifying universal features of ellipsis, as well as those features that are specific to Biblical Hebrew. Understanding the shapes of elliptical constructions in Biblical Hebrew provides a powerful exegetical tool for evaluating alternative readings (and hence exegetical understandings) of difficult verses (e.g., Ps 49:4 and Prov 13:1).
Major Tasks of an Evangelical Hermeneutic: Some Observations on Commonalities, Interrelations, and Differences
Authors: Longenecker Richard N.
Published: April 2022

An evangelical hermeneutic is involved in three major tasks: an interpretive or descriptive task, a transformational task, and a contextualization task. At the heart of all three is the Good News of God's redemptive activity in human history on behalf of all people. So there are interrelations between these tasks. There are, however, also distinctive differences. This article seeks to sensitize Christians to the commonalities, interrelations, and differences inherent in these three hermeneutical tasks and to offer an overview as to how these tasks should function in an evangelical theology.
James Barr and the Future of Revelation in History in New Testament Theology
Authors: Yarbrough Robert W.
Published: April 2022

The thesis of James Barr's magisterial study The Concept of Biblical Theology is that "biblical theology is a contested concept" (Barr's emphasis). One of the reasons for this is the issue of revelation in history (RIH). The article compares Barr's outlook with the outlook of scholars who are favorable toward RIH such as Hofmann and Cullmann, toward whom Barr might be thought to be fundamentally negative. In fact Barr shares many of the RIH group's convictions. At the same time, elements of a neologistic outlook inhere in Barr's work, making it unclear how RIH will fare in future studies that may follow Barr's lead. In any case both NT theology and RIH retain importance in current discussion.
Moral Purification in 1QS
Authors: TOEWS CASEY
Published: April 2022

In preexilic times, moral purification (the enforcement of the death penalty and כּרת, "to be cut off") held tragic and fatal consequences for the offender, as well as the nation at large, dynamically illustrated when the nation was collectively "cut off" in exile. In response to the severe punishments occasioned by moral impurity, the prophets considered a survivable alternative for moral purification in place of the harsh Pentateuchal penalties. They envisioned, metaphorically, a lustral cleansing that could wash away moral impurity. The Hebrew Bible does not provide evidence of a literal adaptation of this metaphor into praxis. In looking to the Second Temple period literature, we find that 1QS provides the earliest witness of a literal adaptation of the prophetic imagery into a baptism of moral purification. As such, 1QS is a very important document for demonstrating an approach to moral purification that is both a development of the postexilic Hebrew Bible, as well as a precursor to the practices evident in the lives of John the Baptist, Jesus, and Paul.
Building on Stone? Deuteronomy and Esarhaddon's Loyalty Oaths (Part 2): Some Additional Observations
Authors: ZEHNDER MARKUS
Published: April 2022

Many elements found in the so-called Vassal Treaty of Esarhaddon (VTE) and in the postulated "Ur-Deuteronomium" as well as in other parts of the book of Deuteronomy are attested in other documents of the ancient Near East, especially in Hittite vassal treaties and loyalty oaths from the 14th and 13th centuries B.C. and in Aramaic treaties from the 9th and 8th centuries B.C. In addition, it is probable that further textual witnesses containing similar elements once existed but were lost because of the perishable material that was frequently used. These observations, together with the dissimilarities between "Ur-Deuteronomium" and VTE both in content and in historical background pointed out in part 1 of this study, caution against overly optimistic claims of a dependence of "Ur-Deuteronomium" on VTE. This article will also argue that, with respect to some parallels in the curse sections, a direction of dependence that is inverted compared to the one commonly held cannot be ruled out.
Time and Order in the Circumstantial Participles of Mark and Luke
Authors: PICIRILLI ROBERT E.
Published: April 2022

Stanley Porter has suggested that the order of circumstantial participles in relation to the verbs on which they depend tends to indicate how they relate temporally: antecedent if before the primary verb and contemporaneous or subsequent if following. Grammarians whom he cites as having partly recognized this do not really anticipate his view. More important, numerous examples of circumstantial participles in the Gospels of Mark and Luke show a different pattern and fail to sustain his formulation. Aorist circumstantial participles typically precede their primary verbs but may be temporally antecedent to or contemporaneous with them. Present circumstantial participles may precede or follow their primary verbs and may be temporally antecedent to or contemporaneous with them regardless of order. Perfect circumstantial participles, whether before or after their primary verbs, are typically contemporaneous with them. The careful exegete should focus on the context alone to determine if any given circumstantial participle is temporally antecedent to, contemporaneous with, or even subsequent to its primary verb.
The Denial of the Good News and the Ending of Mark
Authors: SPENCER AÍDA BESANÇON

Peter's denial is a major literary theme in the Gospel of Mark that appears to resonate with Mark himself, helps us posit reasons for the Gospel's abrupt ending and for the developing climax of the narrative, and explains subtle emphases and omissions.
New Wine in Old Wineskins: Bursting Traditional Interpretations in John's Gospel (Part Two)
Authors: GUNDRY ROBERT H.
Published: April 2022

This article, begun in the preceding issue of BBR, offers disparate exegetical notes on passages in the Fourth Gospel. The present Part Two argues (1) that in John 9:4b the night when no one can work refers to the darkness of eternal damnation; (2) that in John 11:26a those who live, believe in Jesus, and will never die are the believers who have not died prior to the second coming; and (3) that in John 19:30 τετέλεσται should be translated "they are finished" with probable reference to Jesus' signs, works, and words.
Identifying the "Angel of the Lord" in the Book of Judges: A Model for Reconsidering the Referent in Other Old Testament Loci
Authors: LÓPEZ RENÉ A.
Published: April 2022

The construction "angel of the Lord" appears more times in Judges than any other book in the Hebrew Scripture, but there is no scholarly consensus on the identity of this nameless angel. Some interpreters see this messenger as one of many angelic envoys. Others assert that this angel is a theophany or Christophany, arguing variously that (1) grammar indicates the definiteness of the angel; (2) the angel speaks in the first person; (3) looking at the angel is viewed as looking at Yahweh; (4) many feared for their lives upon encountering the angel; (5) the angel possesses attributes similar to God's; and (6) the angel no longer appears after Jesus arrives. All but one of these arguments can be applied in identifying this angel in Judges. This article reviews the common lines of evidence by appealing to proper conventions of grammar, ancient Near Eastern customs regarding envoys, and Jewish theology. After reviewing the difficulties with each of these arguments, the article will propose a coherent view that is in keeping with sound hermeneutics and can serve as a model for reconsidering the referent when it appears elsewhere in Scripture.
The Anointing of Saul according to Josephus
Authors: BEGG CHRISTOPHER T.
Published: April 2022

1 Samuel 9:1–10:16, the account of the anointing of Saul by Samuel, constitutes one of the key passages of the book of Samuel. This essay studies Josephus's retelling of the biblical passage in Ant. 6.45–59. The investigation focuses on three main questions: the text-form(s) of the biblical account used by Josephus; the rewriting techniques he employs and the distinctive version of the anointing narrative that results from their application; and Josephus's handling of the episode in relation to other early treatments of it.
Between "I" and "We": The Anthropology of the Hebrew Bible and Its Importance for a 21st-Century Ecclesiology
Authors: KLINGBEIL GERALD A.
Published: April 2022

Individualism and collectivism are categories employed by sociologists to describe the characteristics of a particular people or culture. These elements and their importance depend heavily upon the culture's particular world view. This study examines these extremes—particularly in the context of the NT metaphor of the church as a body.1 In light of the fact that the data of the Hebrew Bible are often ignored, in this study I will review five controversial passages from the Hebrew Bible that are relevant to the topic (i.e., Abraham's household and the blessing of the covenant, the commandment language, divine transgenerational retribution, and individual responsibility) and will probe their significance for a Scripture-based ecclesiology.
An Admonition against "Rousing Love": The Meaning of the Enigmatic Refrain in Song of Songs
Authors: GAULT BRIAN P.
Published: April 2022

This article examines and evaluates eight different interpretations put forward by modern scholars to explain the meaning of the adjuration refrain in Song of Songs (2:7, 3:5, 8:4). While most of these positions can be judged unlikely due to their unsupported presuppositions or their dissonance with the immediate context and general themes in the Song, reading the refrain as an admonition not to disturb lovers indulging their passions best aligns with the context, literary structure, genre themes, as well as the grammar and syntax in these verses. Indeed, this interpretation readjusts the theology of sexuality in American Christianity, counterbalancing the NT focus on husband-wife roles and responsibilities with a portrait of passion as God's good gift to be celebrated and indulged in the proper context.
Plural You: On the Use and Abuse of the Second Person
Authors: PETERMAN GERALD W.
Published: April 2022

Some biblical scholars claim that the use of the second-person plural mandates that the action or activity described refers not to individuals but only to groups. By way of critique, this understanding of the force of the second-person plural is reductionistic, is based on a fallacious argument, makes abrupt shifts in number incomprehensible, and is not supported by examples inside and outside the NT. By way of an alternative reading, this article asserts that the second-person plural, the second-person singular, and the third-person singular contain different levels of rhetorical directness. All three can be used to call for individual application.
Spirit Possession as a Cross-cultural Experience
Authors: KEENER CRAIG S.
Published: April 2022

Various cross-cultural parallels to NT spirit-possession narratives (in terms of both behavior and interpretation) suggest that scholars should respect the NT descriptions as potentially reflecting eyewitness accounts or sources. Anthropologists have documented spirit possession or analogous experiences in a majority of cultures, although interpretations of the experiences vary. In some cases, possession trance can produce violent behavior toward oneself (cf. Mark 5:5, 9:22) or others (cf. Acts 19:16), and some cultures associate it with publicly recognized, apparently superhuman feats of strength (cf. Mark 5:4) or knowledge (cf. Mark 1:24, Acts 16:16–17).
Otho: A Targeted Comparison of Suetonius's Biography and Tacitus's History, with Implications for the Gospels' Historical Reliability
Authors: KEENER CRAIG S.
Published: April 2022

A majority of scholars today recognize that the Gospels are ancient biographies. This recognition has implications for our valuation of the information content in the Gospels. Biographies written as soon after the subject's life as the Gospels normally include substantial historical information. The biographies of the later emperors in Suetonius offer a reasonable test case. Comparing Suetonius's biography of Otho with information about Otho in Tacitus's Histories, as well as Plutarch's biographies of Galba and Otho, confirms that Suetonius, whatever his other agendas, did not invent material freely but depended heavily on preexisting historical information.
Angels of the Churches in Revelation 1–3: Status Quaestionis and Another Proposal
Authors: FERGUSON EVERETT
Published: April 2022

This article surveys the interpretations of "the angel of the church" in each of the seven letters in Rev 2–3, the advocates of each position, and the principal arguments for and against each view. These interpretations are guardian angel, heavenly counterpart, prevailing spirit of the church, bishop/pastor, prophet, messenger to or from John. Another possibility is that the angel is the reader of the communication to the church.
Evangelicals, Theology, and Biblical Interpretation: Reflections on the Theological Interpretation of Scripture
Authors: TRIMM CHARLIE
Published: April 2022

The theological interpretation of Scripture (TIS) has become very popular in recent years among both biblical scholars and theologians. But this popularity has polarized biblical studies, as some biblical scholars have strongly rejected TIS while others have hailed it as the savior of the moribund historical-critical method. Beyond these contrary assessments of TIS, another key problem in understanding TIS is the diverse (and sometimes contradictory) methods employed by TIS interpreters. This article will study the positive and negative aspects of TIS from the perspective of Evangelical biblical scholarship and propose a spectrum of styles of exegesis showing the range of methodologies in TIS and how they relate with other types of exegesis.
Ezekiel and the Twelve: Similar Concerns as an Indication of a Shared Tradition?
Authors: MORGAN DAVID M.
Published: April 2022

The book of Ezekiel is often divided into a tripartite literary structure. The temple building program in chaps. 40–48 has received not a little scholarly attention, but the preceding oracles in 33:1–39:29 and their function in the final form of the book have not received much consideration. Interestingly, the subject matter of the three sets of oracles in this section of Ezekiel corresponds with themes also evident in a synchronic reading of the Book of the Twelve. This essay examines the ideology for temple building made apparent through the literary structure of Ezekiel and the Twelve, and remarks are made regarding the significance of each "temple building story."
Consumed by Zeal: John's Use of Psalm 69:9 and the Action in the Temple
Authors: BRYAN STEVEN M.
Published: April 2022

John's use of Ps 69:9 in his account of Jesus' action in the temple is regularly understood as a scriptural depiction of Jesus' intense emotional state, which provoked his assault on the temple traders. However, both John's use of Ps 69 elsewhere in the Gospel and his narration of the plot against Jesus suggest that he intends his readers to conclude that the zeal that consumes Jesus is that of his enemies. In John's Gospel, the Jews are portrayed as the zealous protectors of the temple, while Jesus is consistently portrayed as the new temple—the locus of the eschatological presence of God. Jesus' action in the temple symbolically enacts the failure of Herod's temple to function as the new temple. The citation of Ps 69:9 anticipates the role of Jewish zeal for Herod's temple in bringing the full reality of the new temple into existence: in their zealous protection of Herod's temple, they destroy the temple of Jesus body, which through death and resurrection becomes the eschatological dwelling place of God.
Johannine Fulfillment of Scripture: Continuity and Escalation
Authors: TABB BRIAN J.
Published: April 2022

Scriptural fulfillment is a critical theme throughout the Gospel of John, but in 12:38–19:37 the evangelist draws explicit attention to the deeper purpose at work in Jesus' passion by the distinctive introductory formula "in order that Scripture may be fulfilled." This article argues that John rarely uses fulfillment language such as this in appeals to prediction; rather, Johannine "fulfillment" is characterized by a dialectic, mutually interpretive relationship of continuity and escalation between the OT text and Jesus' work. Jesus' death "fulfills" the Scriptures by revealing the decisive, eschatological meaning of these earlier texts, while the OT likewise offers the categories necessary to disclose the true significance of his identity as the rejected, crucified Messiah.
The Portrayal of Peter and Atonement Theology in the Gospel of John
Authors: WIARDA TIMOTHY
Published: April 2022

Three scenes in the Gospel of John, the foot-washing episode (13:2–11), the narrative of the denial prediction (13:33–38), and the account of Peter cutting off the ear of the high priest's servant (18:8–11), characterize Peter as one who resists the idea that Jesus should take up the role of good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep. These scenes link with the Gospel's ὑπέρ texts. Their consistent portrayal of Peter forms part of the Gospel's presentation of the significance of Jesus' death.
Building House to House (Isaiah 5:8): Theological Reflection on Land Development and Creation Care
Authors: THOMAS HEATH A.
Published: April 2022

Land development is the point of theological critique set within the context of Isaiah's "Song of the Vineyard." God's good land (the vineyard) was marred by a number of sins, one of them being "building" house to house (land development). Within the horizons of the OT in general and Isaiah in particular, the substance of the critique may be understood theologically within the strictures of OT law regarding land allotment. But pressing toward new horizons in biblical theology, how might the substance of the critique be carried forward? This article will reflect on land development and creation care within the horizons of Isa 5:8 and OT law and then move toward a reflection of the same set within the fields of biblical theology and theological interpretation of Scripture.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND DIRECTIONS OF RESEARSH CONCEPTS IN LANGUAGE
Authors: Demianiuk Anzhela , Isayev Khurshud Bairam ohlu
Published: April 2022

This article is devoted to theoretical principles and directions of concepts research in linguistics, which is the key notion of cognitive linguistics. The multifaceted variable understanding of the term “linguistic picture of the world” is analyzed. The cognitive picture of the world and the linguistic picture of the world are interconnected as primary and secondary, as the content of a concept and a means of the researcher’s access to this concept. This article examines the notion of “concept” in research of various scientists. It is indicated that there is still no clear interpretation of the term “concept”. There is a significant number of controversial issues related to the theory of concepts: about the status of the concept, its structure, features of verbalization, as well as about the typology of concepts. In modern linguistics, the following main approaches to the study of concepts are distinguished: semantico-cognitive, conceptual studies, linguoculturology, linguocultural conceptology. But despite the existing differences in understanding of concepts, representatives of these schools believe that concept is the main unit of consciousness, capable of verbalization through linguistic units, having a multidimensional complex structure. At the moment, we can talk about two trends in the study of concepts. Firstly, this is the study of the features of concepts and their functioning in different texts. Secondly, the experimental study of concepts by method of free associative experiment and receptive experiment. The article also considers the linguocultural perception of the concept and notes that the linguocultural direction, in our opinion, is a base.
RECREATIONAL COMPONENT OF TRAINING AND PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICES OF SPORTS INSTITUTIONS IN UKRAINE
Authors: Didenko Nina
Published: April 2022

The article considers the recreational component of training and pedagogical practices of cultural and sports institutions of Ukraine. In this context, attention is focused on the practical activities of cultural and sports institutions as discursive practices. It is noted that the basis of the practical activities of cultural and sports institutions is a popular music and dance media culture, combined with fitness and other types of sports training. It is proved that the discursive practices of Ukrainian cultural and sports institutions form the methodology of recreative choreography, it means, the system of exercises and dance movements, each of which contains recreational components. There have been identified methods and techniques of the training and pedagogical process, which have absorbed both elements of classical choreography and purely gymnastic and acrobatic exercises with the use of functional training. An important way of “dance and health” dance and movement therapy as a means of achieving rehabilitation treatment, as one of the schools of psychotherapy. The choreutic concept and methods of movement analysis by R. von Laban and J. Longstaff are analyzed. An important recreative aspect of the practices of cultural and sports institutions – cognitive regulation of the mental state of a person – has been studied.
SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSICAL CULTURE AND EDUCATION IN SOUTHERN UKRAINE IN THE 2ND HALF OF THE 19TH – BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Authors: Petrenko Ganna
Published: April 2022

The article considers the development of musical and cultural life in the largest centres of Southern Ukraine in the late 19th – early 20th century: Kherson, Nikolaev and Odessa. The author pays special attention to the specific features of the region determined by its geographical location and multi-ethnic population. In many provincial and district centres of Southern Ukraine, cultural life developed due in no small way to the involvement of musically gifted foreigners: Czech and German colonists and also the guests from the modern Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Italy etc. The author provides evidence that almost every department of the Imperial Russian Musical Society (IRMS) of the southern region of that historical period engaged foreign specialists. Moreover, many domestic music teachers received musical education in European conservatories (Leipzig, Warsaw, Brussels, Vienna and others). All of the aforesaid illustrates the implementation of European pedagogical and methodological principles in music education in Southern Ukraine. In many educational institutions (especially women’s institutions), foreigners made up the majority of teachers. Having analyzed the cultural life in Southern Ukraine in the 2nd half of the 19th – early 20th century, the author concludes that the increasing demand for a diverse and comprehensive cultural life in local communities back at that time determined the development of musical courses and educational institutions (both public and private), the IRMS local branches, performing schools and groups etc. General trends in the development of music, musical pedagogy and other areas of musical activity were rooted in Western European traditions. Thus, interethnic musical contacts carried out on the territory of Southern Ukraine and its cultural and economic centre – Odessa, contributed to the formation of a unique multi-dimensional culture of this region by the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century.

PROBLEMS OF ENSURING HUMAN RIGHTS TO PUBLIC SERVICES FOR THE RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF UKRAINE
Authors: Gaidar Maria
Published: April 2022

Modern Ukraine is characterized by a period of fundamental changes in state-building and law-making. Since 2014 the ongoing constitutional reform is aimed at optimal organization of local self-government. By searching the ways to decentralize, Ukraine aims to ensure the proper functioning of basic municipal institutions. The united territorial community (UTC) is the primary element of local democracy and therefore plays an important role in addressing issues related to the daily needs of community members. The local level authorities provide ineffective governance and they do not provide the scope of public services that residents need, especially in rural areas. The existence of an underdeveloped health care system in Ukraine has led to low quality and inaccessibility of medical care to the population, especially in rural areas. The beginning of the rural healthcare reform was laid by the adoption of the Law of Ukraine, “On increasing the availability and quality of medical care in rural areas.” The system for high-quality and affordable healthcare to rural residents can be created by: 1) optimizing delivery; 2) training; 3) access to specialized facilities; 4) telehealth; 5) creating appropriate infrastructure; 6) working conditions and living standards for healthcare professionals; 7) preventive measures for public health; 8) ensuring interaction between central and local executive authorities. UTCs must utilize the powers granted to them by law to create a client-oriented system of public administration while protecting citizens’ constitutional rights – particularly their rights to health protection and healthcare.

The current state of health care in Ukraine is characterized by low efficiency of available logistical using and human resources, slow pace of change in the introduction of innovative diagnostic methods and technologies and lack of understanding of the implementation of standards and indicators of quality and effective management of health services. The goals of health care are to improve health and meet the needs of consumers. The state of the population health depends not only on the provided medical services, but to a large extent on other factors, including the state of the environment, individual heredity, behavioral risk factors, socio-economic status of society and the state of the health care system (Obolenskyi O.Iu., 2007:191). Health care activities should be based on the end results, namely: improving the health of the population; cost and quality of medical services, their availability; fairness and efficiency in the provision of medical services; the effectiveness of mechanisms to protect citizens from financial risk in case of disease (Surmin Yu. P. 2006:307) The authors emphasize the unity of the approach to health care reform in Ukraine at all levels of departmental and national medicine. The study highlights the causes, conditions of formation and functioning of departmental medicine in Ukraine and around the world. The article uses methods of generalization and systematization, grouping and comparison, classification and analogy and systems analysis, as well as the dialectical method and the method of forecasting. The authors analyze the state of health care reform over the past 10 years in countries with high (Britain, France, USA) and low economies (India), with ongoing military conflicts (Israel), with high life expectancy (Italy), with transition economy (Croatia) and in the post-Soviet countries that joined the European Union (Lithuania). The study focuses on the rating indicators of gross domestic product (GDP) and life expectancy, according to analytical reports of international organizations WHO, OECD, International Commonwealth Fund and others.
CURRENT THREATS NEAR THE BORDERS OF UKRAINE AND THEIR POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES
Authors: Tseveliov Oleh
Published: April 2022

The armed conflict in eastern Ukraine is one of the main threats and challenges to the national security of Ukraine. Ukrainian society is already tired of long-term impossibility to resolve the issue of ending the war, thus there has been a tendency in favor of direct negotiations with a neighboring country, namely the Russian Federation, with the social opinion supporting such procedure for resolving a sensitive issue. The Minsk agreements have failed and in the near future will fail in finding a positive solution to the armed conflict in favor of one of the parties, and Ukrainian society is divided over the consistent implementation of their measures. Some people have an extremely negative attitude to the implementation of certain provisions, others support their implementation, while a third of the society generally votes for the separation of Donbass from Ukraine. Although the armed conflict is formally happening between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the illegal military formations of the DPR/LPR, it has a much deeper and more complex structure. Given the lack of national unity in the state regarding the settlement of the conflict in the Donbas, an important issue arises regarding the beginning of a socio-political dialogue within Ukraine and the development of effective mechanisms for state response to threats to national security. Holding open and transparent discussions between all regions of Ukraine, between two neighboring countries, taking into account the socio-economic situation, cultural and family ties, will provide an opportunity to develop common ways to solve aggravated problems supported by the majority of society.
