New Dimensions of Musicology of the 21st Century: the Experience in Modelling the Interpretative Theory of Musical Communication
Authors: Nikolayevska Yuliya
Published: December 2021

Relevance of the study. The relevance of the topic is associated with the formulation of the basic principles of the theory of musical interpretation in its interpretative dimension.
Novelty. The novelty of the research lies in the understanding of musical communication as an interpretative phenomenon.
The purpose of the research is to propose a model of the interpretative theory of musical communication for the development of the existing concepts.
Methodology. Based on the research in modern humanities (M. Bakhtin, J. Habermas, H. Gumbrecht, S. Zizek, M. McLuhan, E. Levinas, J. Austin, D. Sperber, U. Eco), the theory of musical communication (E. Turner, A. Yakupov, V. Medushevsky, B. Syuta) and the theory of musical interpretation (Jean-Jacques Nathiez, T. Adorno, J. Brele, H. Danuzer, E. Gurenko, N. Korikhalova, V. Medushevsky, V. Moskalenko, L. Shapovalova, A. Samoilenko) a new look at the artistic processes of the 20th and early 21st centuries has been proposed. The main is the modeling method.
Results and conclusions. For the development of the classical and relevant theories of communication (the main difference of the first is the recognition as the central element of the system the composition as a code, the essence of the second — the existence as the central element of a “musical-communicative event” and attention to the intentions of the communicants, the context of events, which determines their adequate understanding), the model of the interpretative theory of musical communication, in which both approaches are combined, has been introduced. We have introduced into the conceptual apparatus of musical science the type of Homo Interpretatus, which is the creator of a new modern musical reality and can be designated as a summary image of a person who, in the process of musical activity, manifests the dominance of interpreting thinking (in the unity and variety of the functions “composer — performer — listener — researcher”). The concept of “communication strategy” has been proposed, which is understood as the conscious action of the communicant (the intention directed at the Other in the process of creative communication). The typology of communication strategies has been presented: taking into account the type of creative activity (composing, performing, researching, listening) and based on their different forms of working with the material / text, as well as the focus on perception (in particular, idioethnic, modelling, actualizing, integrating, the strategy of style divergence / convergence, active, passive, total randomness, etc.).
Significance. The significance of the results lies in the systematic presentation of the positions of the interpretive theory of musical communication, which opens up prospects for further research on the interpretive processes of the 21st century.
Interpretation Strategies of Contemporary Musical and Theatrical Art: Trends, Factors
Authors: Solomonova Olga
Published: December 2021

Relevance of the study. The modern interpretive content main tendencies of the European and Ukrainian musical and theatrical art were analyzed. Forms of interpretation being were considered in the coordinates of the “composer-listener-performer” triad in the aspect of its correspondence to its time artistic intentions.
The scientific novelty of the study is in the analysis of innovative projects most of which are not adapted to musicology and in the formulation of trends and factors of modern musical art’s interpretive policy.
Main objective of the study is to determine the specifics and factors of the modern interpretations of a musical and theatrical art.
Methodology. The following methods have been adapted: the interpretive — in relation to the analyzed opera projects; the hermeneutic-semantic — for the purpose of identify the interpreted works’ intonation-image specificity; the comparative — to juxtaposition the “interpretive behavior” of one work in different performance versions; the intonation-dramaturgical analysis — to study the specifics and factors of works’ interpretive versions.
Results and conclusions. The modern interpretive reality initiates the emergence of radically new and the consolidation of existing non-standard trends in the work’s representation. These are: the instrumental performing theatricalization, significant expansion of the improvisation’s zone, abandonment of the opera genre canons with an emphasis on synthetic genres of performative nature and the use of bold audio, scenographic, color and light effects. The modern interpretative main trends are the actualization, the alienation and the emergence of working remote versions, the encroachment on the textual and intonational essence of a known work by adding the new material (the integral opus or the fragmentary inlay), the emergence of modern composer’s alternative role which is a co-author of a new hybrid product thanks to the connection to the work of the past.
Findings of the research. The specifics and factors of work’s variant-interpretive realization are analytically argued. The main factors are the genre-intonation specificity, the synthetic and intertextual nature, the complexity and synergy of text semantic intentions, the recipient’s culturalhistorical awareness, the socio-cultural intentions’ balance of the author and his artistic will performers, the degree of text openness, the context.
Prospects for further exploration in this direction. The following research areas are needed: 1) the development of new methods and terminological apparatus suitable for the modern artifacts’ analysis; 2) the analytical base’s expansion due to: a) the further accumulation of examples, b) the scientific adaptation of various genres’ works.
Symphonic Volume in the Symphony-Requiem by Bohdana Frolyak “Pravednaya Dushe”
Authors: Volovchuk Yuliia
Published: December 2021

Relevance of the study. The article is relevant as it studies the works of Bogdana Frolyak, who is a popular contemporary Ukrainian composer. Her music attracts the attention of performers and researchers and reflects the current trends of contemporary art such as musical language, new forms of choral sound, synthesis of genres. The Requiem Symphony “Righteous Ssoul” (lyrics by T. Shevchenko) is an example of a complex multidimensional nature genre renewal. Therefore, lack of research devoted to this work outlines a scientific novelty of this article.
The objective of the study is to identify the features of symphony in the symphonyrequiem “Righteous Soul” by B. Frolyak.
The research methodology is based on the interpretation analysis method proposed by V. Moskalenko. The concept of A. Adamyan is used to study symphonic principles.
Results. Analysing the requiem symphony “Righteous Soul”, it was determined that the leading role is devoted to chorus, which serves as a main mean of expression. The choir is regarded as a symbol of collegiality and stands in as an active participant in the formation of musical thought and sounds through almost the entire opus (except for two vocal episodes). T. Shevchenko’s poetic lines are entrusted to mixed chorus and embody a main idea of the work. Choral fragments serve various functions starting from the creation of a harmonic background to being a main storyteller. At the same time, B. Frolyak’s composition realizes symphonic principles, which display themselves at different levels of organization of musical material. Symphonic patterns are expressed in timbre-textured and thematic connections, cross-cutting development, national instrumentation color and intonation transformations of themes. The composer’s principle of artistic thinking reveals parallels with the symphonic concept developed by A. Adamyan.
Conclusion. A special genre multidimensionality is expressed in the symphony-requiem “Pravednaya Dushe”. B. Frolyak enriches the semantic layer of the work due to the features of the requiem. Composer takes an advantage of the cathedral’s choral sonority rich possibilities and uses the symphonic intonation and dramatic basis. At the intonation level, she unites all these features with the help of solospiv (solosining) — a musical symbol of Ukrainian nation. Finally, unique synthesis of supersubstantial spiritual and philosophic ideas with universal (symphony, requiem) and national characteristic (solospiv) genres makes B. Frolyak’s work one of the most original in the series of Ukrainian choral symphonies.
Le fonctionnalisme en pratique : la diplomatie canadienne face à l’affaire de Koje-do durant la guerre de Corée
Authors: Turcotte Jean-Michel
Published: December 2021

Cet article analyse la diplomatie déployée par le gouvernement canadien face à Washington par rapport au déploiement des troupes canadiennes par le Commandement des Nations Unies au camp pour prisonniers de guerre de Koje-do durant la guerre de Corée (1950-1953). Alors que cette décision est jugée strictement militaire par les officiers américains, les officiels à Ottawa soutiennent plutôt qu’ils auraient dû être consultés préalablement en raison des enjeux politiques soulevés à Koje-do. L’approche fonctionnaliste employée par le ministère des Affaires extérieures, l’ambassade canadienne à Washington et le haut-commissaire canadien à Londres vise à influencer la politique américaine concernant la consultation des Canadiens sur les questions d’ordre politique. Critiquée dans l’historiographie, la position d’Ottawa s’inscrit dans un contexte où le principe de consultation interalliée tel que pratiqué par les Américains soulève des questionnements chez les autorités politiques canadiennes. D’ailleurs, cet incident est suivi d’un débat plus large au sein des alliés concernant la consultation des hautes autorités militaires américaines sur les questions jugées politiques. Cette étude vise ainsi à lever le voile sur la manière dont les autorités gouvernementales canadiennes ont réagi face à l’équilibre complexe entre les décisions militaires et les considérations politiques au cours du conflit coréen.
Antibiotic prescribing patterns among patients admitted to an academic teaching hospital for COVID-19 during the first wave of the pandemic in Toronto: A retrospective, controlled study
Authors: So Miranda , Morris Andrew M , Walker Alexander M
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND: Empirical antibiotics are not recommended for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS: In this retrospective study, patients admitted to Toronto General Hospital’s general internal medicine from the emergency department for COVID-19 between March 1 and August 31, 2020 were compared with those admitted for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in 2020 and 2019 in the same months. The primary outcome was antibiotics use pattern: prevalence and concordance with COVID-19 or CAP guidelines. The secondary outcome was antibiotic consumption in days of therapy (DOT)/100 patient-days. We extracted data from electronic medical records. We used logistic regression to model the association between disease and receipt of antibiotics, linear regression to compare DOT. RESULTS: The COVID-19, CAP 2020, and CAP 2019 groups had 67, 73, and 120 patients, respectively. Median age was 71 years; 58.5% were male. Prevalence of antibiotic use was 70.2%, 97.3%, and 90.8% for COVID-19, CAP 2020, and CAP 2019, respectively. Compared with CAP 2019, the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for receiving antibiotics was 0.23 (95% CI 0.10 to 0.53, p = 0.001) and 3.42 (95% CI 0.73 to 15.95, p = 0.117) for COVID-19 and CAP 2020, respectively. Among patients receiving antibiotics within 48 hours of admission, compared with CAP 2019, the aOR for guideline-concordant combination regimens was 2.28 (95% CI 1.08 to 4.83, p = 0.031) for COVID-19, and 1.06 (95% CI 0.55 to 2.05, p = 0.856) for CAP 2020. Difference in mean DOT/100 patient-days was –24.29 ( p = 0.009) comparing COVID-19 with CAP 2019, and +28.56 ( p = 0.003) comparing CAP 2020 with CAP 2019. CONCLUSIONS: There are opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship to address unnecessary antibiotic use.
Douglas LePan: Poet of the New and Old Worlds
Authors: Locke Hart Jonathan
Published: December 2021

C. Day Lewis said of The Wounded Prince (1948) that Douglas LePan was a poet “in whom the New and the Old World have met.” Like the other New World/Old World or Atlantic world poets, such as T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden, LePan represents the individual in nature and the modern world. The other transatlantic poets had a United States-Britain axis, whereas LePan had a Canada- Britain connection. LePan and poets like him deserve study as part of a diversity of voices from smaller literatures, for the sound of beauty and not the noise of fame. During LePan’s life, others knew of his accomplishments, but, since his death, still others may have forgotten what Northrop Frye and Margaret Atwood knew – that LePan’s poetry warranted close and considered attention. Before a close reading of some of his most lyrical poems, I provide a context, the critical reception of LePan as a poet, particularly in the years from 1948 to 1987, and some germane discussions of LePan’s poetry in subsequent years.

Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs versus tramadol in pain management following transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas: a randomized, double-blind, noninferiority trial
Authors: Guo Xiaopeng , Wang Zihao , Gao Lu , Ma Wenbin , Xing Bing , Lian Wei
Published: December 2021

OBJECTIVE

Opioid-minimizing or nonopioid therapy using nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or tramadol has been encouraged for pain management. This study aimed to examine the noninferiority of NSAIDs to tramadol for pain management following transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas in terms of analgesic efficacy, adverse events, and rescue opioid use.

METHODS

This was a randomized, single-center, double-blind noninferiority trial. Patients 18–70 years old with planned transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary adenomas were randomly assigned (in a 1-to-1 ratio) to receive NSAIDs (parecoxib injection and subsequent loxoprofen tablets) or tramadol (tramadol injection and subsequent tramadol tablets). The primary outcome was pain score assessed by a visual analog scale (VAS) for 24 hours following surgery; the secondary outcomes were VAS scores for 48 and 72 hours. Other prespecified outcomes included nausea, vomiting, dizziness, upset stomach, skin rash, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, and pethidine use to control breakthrough pain. Noninferiority of NSAIDs to tramadol was established if the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the VAS score difference was < 1 point and the rate difference of adverse events and pethidine use < 5%. The superiority of NSAIDs was assessed when noninferiority was verified. All analyses were performed on an intention-to-treat basis.

RESULTS

Two hundred two patients were enrolled between November 1, 2020, and May 31, 2021 (101 in the NSAIDs group, 101 in the tramadol group). Baseline characteristics between groups were well balanced. Mean VAS scores for 24 hours following transsphenoidal surgery were 2.6 ± 1.8 in the NSAIDs group and 3.5 ± 2.1 in the tramadol group (−0.9 difference, 95% CI −1.5 to −0.4; p value for noninferiority < 0.001, p value for superiority < 0.001). Noninferiority and superiority were also achieved for both secondary outcomes. VAS scores improved over time in both groups. Incidences of nausea (39.6% vs 61.4%, p = 0.002), vomiting (3.0% vs 42.6%, p < 0.001), and dizziness (12.9% vs 47.5%, p < 0.001) were significantly lower, while incidence of upset stomach (9.9% vs 2.0%, p = 0.017) was slightly higher in the NSAIDs group compared with the tramadol group. The percentage of opioid use was 4.0% in the NSAIDs group and 15.8% in the tramadol group (−11.8% difference, 95% CI −19.9% to −3.7%; p value for noninferiority < 0.001, p value for superiority = 0.005).

CONCLUSIONS

NSAIDs significantly reduced acute pain following transsphenoidal surgery, caused few adverse events, and limited opioid use compared with tramadol.

OBJECTIVE

Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) is an increasingly utilized approach for the treatment of chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs). The course of morphological progression of CSDHs following MMAE is poorly understood. Herein, the authors aimed to describe these morphological changes and assess their prognostic significance for the outcomes on follow-up.

METHODS

A single-institution retrospective cohort study of CSDH cases treated by upfront MMAE, without prior or adjunctive surgical evacuation, was performed. Clinical outcomes, complications, and the need for rescue surgery on follow-up were recorded. Hematomas were categorized into 6 morphological subtypes. All baseline and follow-up head CT scans were assessed for CSDH structural appearance, density, and loculation. Changes in CSDH size were quantified via 3D reconstruction for volumetric measurement.

RESULTS

Overall, 52 CSDHs in 45 patients treated with upfront MMAE were identified. Hematomas were followed for a mean of 92.9 days. Volume decreased by ≥ 50% in 79.6% of the CSDHs. The overall rescue surgery rate was 9.6%. A sequence of morphological changes after MMAE was identified. Hematomas that diverged from this sequence (5.4%) all progressed toward treatment failure and required rescue surgery. The CSDHs were categorized into early, intermediate, and late stages based on the baseline morphological appearance. Progression from early to intermediate and then to late stage took 12.7 and 30.0 days, respectively, on average. The volume of early/intermediate- and late-stage hematomas decreased by ≥ 50%, a mean of 78.2 and 47.6 days after MMAE, respectively. Early- and intermediate-stage hematomas showed a trend toward more favorable outcomes compared with late-stage hematomas. The density of homogeneous hypodense hematomas (HSDHs) transiently increased immediately after MMAE (p < 0.001). A marked decrease in density and volume 1 to 3 weeks after MMAE in HSDHs was detected, the lack of which indicated an eventual need for rescue surgery. In HSDHs, a baseline mean density of < 20 HU, and a lower density than baseline by 1 month post-MMAE were predictors of favorable outcomes. The baseline hematoma volume, axial thickness, midline shift, and loculation were not correlated with MMAE outcomes. Loculated, trabecular, and laminar hematomas, which are known to have unfavorable surgical outcomes, had MMAE outcomes similar to those of other "surgical" hematomas.

CONCLUSIONS

The current study was the first to describe the nature, sequence, and timing of morphological changes of CSDHs after MMAE treatment and has identified structural features that can predict treatment outcomes.

Fomopsioza ili crna pjegavost vinove loze (Diaporthe neoviticola, syn. Phomopsis viticola)
Authors: Miličević Tihomir
Published: December 2021

Vinova loza je jedna od najvažnijih kultiviranih biljnih vrsta u Hrvatskoj. Vrsta je izrazito osjetljiva na napad velikog broja patogena, od kojih je i kod nas i u svijetu jedan od najvažnijih i najopasnijih Diaporthe neoviticola, odnosno fitopatogena gljiva poznatija pod nekadašnjim nazivom Phomopsis viticola. U našoj fitopatološkoj literaturi najčešći naziv bolesti koju ova vrsta uzrokuje na vinovoj lozi je crna pjegavost ili crna pjegavost rozgve, a u starijoj literaturi spominje se i pod nazivom eskorioza. S obzirom na gljivu uzročnika primjereniji naziv bolesti bio bi fomopsioza vinove loze. Karakteristični simptomi bolesti pojavljuju se u vidu tamnih lezija na primarnim internodijima mladica, koje se kasnije primijete i na rozgvi tijekom zime u vidu malih rak ranica. Kao popratni simptom bolesti može se javiti i izbjeljivanje rozgve, međutim to nije tipični simptom samo ove bolesti, već i raznih drugih bolesti. Bolest se suzbija fungicidima na bazi bakra (bakarni oksid, bakarni oksiklorid i dr.), fosetila, folpeta, mankozeba, metirama i dr.

Published: December 2021

Američki cvrčak (Scaphoideus titanus Ball, 1932) jedan je od najznačajnijih vektora zlatne žutice vinove loze. Zakonskim regulativama pokušava se vektora staviti pod nadzor, a poljoprivredni proizvođači dužni su provoditi mjere kako bi spriječili epidemijsko širenje bolesti. Prvi stadiji ličinke jako su sitni što proizvođačima otežava njihovo rano otkrivanje i određivanje roka za zaštitu od ovog štetnika. Kako bi pravovremeno primijenili zaštitu potrebno je pratiti pojavu štetnika jer njegov razvoj najviše ovisi o vremenskim uvjetima. Za suzbijanje američkog cvrčka uglavnom se primjenjuje kemijska zaštita. Jako je bitno paziti i na ostali biljni sastav u vinogradu te izbjeći druge biljke domaćine koje mogu poslužiti štetniku za održavanje. Preporuka je i provođenje edukacija u polju za vinogradare o biologiji ovog štetnika.

Published: December 2021

Utjecaj globalnog zagrijavanja nije zaobišao niti vinarsku industriju. To se najbolje očituje kroz porast alkoholne jakosti vina te smanjenje ukupne kiselosti što u konačnici dovodi do značajne promjene u senzornim svojstvima vina. Jedna od mogućnosti smanjenja alkoholne jakosti obuhvaća primjenu različitih selekcioniranih kvasaca (Saccharomyces i ne-Saccharomyces). U provedenom istraživanju ispitane su mogućnosti primjene komercijalnih Saccharomyces kvasaca (IONYSWF™, Enoferm RP15 i Uvaferm BDX) sa ciljem smanjenja alkoholne jakosti te povećanja ukupne kiselosti vina sorte Cabernet franc. Po provedenim fizikalno-kemijskim analizama utvrđeno je da je primjena kvasca IONYSWF™ dala vina manje alkoholne jakosti uz naglašeniju ukupnu kiselost. Nadalje, nisu utvrđene značajne razlike u kinetici alkoholne fermentacije među tretmanima, ali su utvrđene razlike u senzornim svojstvima. Prema rezultatima deskriptivne analize vino sorte Cabernet franc (Vitis vinifera L.) proizvedeno primjenom kvasca IONYSWF™ izdvojilo se nešto jačim tijelom te naglašenijim intenzitetom i trajnošću mirisa u kojem su dominirale začinske note i mirisi crvenog voća. Vino navedenog tretmana bilo je ujedno i najbolje brojčano ocjenjeno.

Intestinal barrier might be deteriorated by heat stress (hs) that is important disruption factor affected animal productivity, as resulted leaky gut in cattle. Therefore, the aim of this study is to demonstrate that the intestinal barrier is disrupted by hs detected by the zonulin, as an intestinal permeability biomarker. The study was conducted in local farm in the Aydın Province of Turkey in August that had the average highest temperature [41.10C (36-440C)] with %36 humidity recorded by the meteorological data. Further, serum zonulin levels were assessed by ELISA. Serum zonulin (ng/ml) levels increased (60,07 ± 21,20) at mid night 00.00 am in contrast to mid-day values at 12.00 pm (34,60 ± 10,90) (p=0,018). Regarding increased zonulin levels indicated that distrupted intestinal barrier with increasing intestinal permeability and it might be affected to reduced productivity of lactation cattle with hs during hotter summer months in Aegon Region in Turkey. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken reflected to hs.

Modern Stylization of Ukrainian Song Folklore
Authors: Tkach Anna
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the research is to study contemporary musical culture and reveal the specifics of Ukrainian song folklore stylization in academic and non-academic practice. The research methodology is aimed at using a comparative method, with the help of which the difference between the processing of a folk song and the stylization of folklore is highlighted. The method of analysis is implemented to highlight the essential features of stylized folklore. Using the synthesis method, the results of research from academic and non-academic musical creativity have been extrapolated, in which the introduction of the stylization of folklore has been discovered. The scientific novelty of the research is examining the symbiosis of composer and folk art, as a result of which stylized song folklore appears in the modern musical culture of Ukraine. Conclusions. In the modern musical culture of Ukraine, the principle of stylization of song folklore is widely used. The introductions of adaptations of folk sources, along with stylization, are two options for the interaction of composer and folk art. The stylization is characterized by a deep interpenetration of elements of the author’s and folklore principles, which is accompanied by the formation of an original musical text that has a genetic relationship with folk Melos. The author’s text, which traces the presence of folk songs stylization, often includes typical intonational complexes with small ambitus, repetition of rhythmic formulas, and the prevalence of the variant-variative principle of the musical fabric development. The literary text of works related to the stylization of folklore is characterized by the use of folk texts or dialectics, lexemes that liken a vocal work with folklore. The effectiveness of folk stylization in musical culture is enhanced by the use of an authentic folk singing manner. The stylization of folklore is inherent both in the works of the leading classics of the Ukrainian composing school and in groups working in different directions of non-academic music of our time.
Zlata Tkach’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra as a Culmination of the Composer Symphonic Thinking
Authors: Vardanyan Alyona
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the article is to characterize Zlata Tkach’s Piano Concerto as the culminating composition in the genre of the composer’s symphonic music. The research methodology is based on the method of complex musicological analysis, due to which, the role of this work in the system of memorial genres of the author is determined, typical style features of her work late period are revealed, the thematic structure of the Concerto is characterized from the position of the manifestation of the principle of dialogicity and monothematism. The scientific novelty of the research is that for the first time, intonation processes in a Piano Concerto by Z. Tkach are systematically analyzed and the correlation of its traditional and innovative features is characterized. Being by genre attribution an opus with a pronounced desire to use modern means of expression, the concert is distinguished by the manifestation of the principle of microthematism and textural thematism. In the dramaturgical solution, the author conducts a constructive search in dynamic, timbre and rhythmic comparisons. At the same time, the intonational unity between the sections of the form, being the development of the romantic principle of poetry, is expressed in the form of monothematism. Conclusions. The creative method of Z. Tkach manifests itself in the synthesis of tradition and experiment. This is confirmed by the intonation-thematic structure of the Piano Concerto, in which the convergence of contrasting material contributes to the formation of an integral musical and dramatic concept. The motifs that form the basis of the monothematism complex establish intonation arches between the sections of a one-part composition, fastening them and subordinating them to a common plan. Important importance belongs to the opposition of the roles of the participants in the performance. Their dialogical activity is manifested in a peculiar way by the composer, primarily in the dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra: the interweaving of two contrasting figurative spheres is realized primarily in terms of content. The principle of monothematism is manifested especially vividly in the characterization of tragic reflections, painful reflections on the eternal conflict of the creative personality with the surrounding world, leading to a deep understanding of what exists. The other embodies the dynamism of life, dominating in the culmination of ‘action’, the accumulation of energy. Both the piano and the orchestra are equally involved in the development of both figurative principles. The resulting translational, purposeful movement towards the finale determines, along with the principle of monothematism, the integrity of the entire composition.
Стан українського інформаційного простору як відображення позиції України в глобальному культурному дискурсі: реалії та перспективи
Authors: Костиря Інна , Шевченко Марина
Published: December 2021

У сучасному глобалізованому суспільстві інформація є тим важливим чинником, який має суттєвий вплив на політичне, економічне, культурне становище держави. Стаття присвячена розгляду міри інтеграції основних сфер української культури до світового інфопростору. У дослідженні розкриваються питання ключових напрямів інтеграційних процесів від початків незалежності України до сьогодення й висвітлюється роль інформації в цих процесах. Визначено ключові об’єктивні та суб’єктивні чинники низького рівня інтегрованості української інформаційної продукції в глобальному інфопросторі. Серед яких виокремлено: вплив із боку російської масової культури; відсутність цілісної стратегії розвитку українського інформаційного простору; процеси вестернізації. У статті наголошується, що перебування України в складі Радянського Союзу залишило свій інформаційний відбиток у свідомості українців і українських політичних еліт. Проаналізовано ключові показники поширення культурного продукту України за кордоном. Досліджено становище основних сфер інформаційного виробництва в Україні та за кордоном. Стаття розкриває причини низького рівня популярності української видавничої продукції всередині та за межами національного ринку. Обґрунтовано необхідність актуалізації участі української культури в глобальному дискурсі в умовах масштабних глобалізаційних процесів. Доведено, що Україна виступає не суб’єктом, а об’єктом глобалізації, а національний продукт є малоінтегрованим до світового інформаційного простору. Отже, що українська культура, через її перехідний характер і фактичну відсутність державної підтримки, виступає відкритим полігоном для асиміляційних і культурних впливів з боку іноземних держав. На основі поданої інформації зроблено висновок про необхідність розробки цілісної парадигми культурної політики України.
«Украинско Слово» та «Украинско-български Преглед» через сто років
Authors: Москаленко Віталій
Published: December 2021

У столиці Болгарії Софії побачило світ унікальне видання – фоторепринтне видання усіх чисел часописів першого посольства Української Народної Республіки в Царстві Болгарія (1918–1920) і «Украинско-български Преглед» – здійснено в рамках відзначення 100-річчя Української дипломатичної служби (1917–1921 рр.).

Деякий час українські та болгарські історики вважали часописи справою українських емігрантів в Болгарії міжвоєнного періоду. Втім, опубліковані в зарубіжних виданнях спогади перших українських дипломатів, як і фінансові звіти дипломатичної місії УНР в Софії, переконливо доводять – ці вісники створювалися з ініціативи дипломатів і за рахунок МЗС УНР. Їхньою основною метою було розповісти болгарській авдиторії якомога більше інформації про Україну, український народ, його культуру, історію, звичаї та літературу.

Indonesia: Coordinated studies are needed to access trends
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: December 2021

In 1999, the Population Council/Indonesia conducted a critical review of 11 Indonesian surveys and studies that measured various indicators of maternal and child health (MCH) between 1996 and 1999. Many of these studies tried to link these indicators with the nation’s economic crisis that began in July 1997, however attributing changes in MCH indicators to the economic crisis may be misleading. Population Council staff sought to explain how these studies came up with divergent findings. As noted in this brief, longitudinal studies with consistent indicators and representative study populations are needed to identify changes in MCH indicators.
Affirmation of Unhu as Reflected in Selected Manyika Proverbs
Authors: Mapara Jacob
Published: December 2021

Unhu/ubuntu is one of the important mainstays of black communities in Southern Africa. It emphasizes the connectedness of people and the need for them to work together and sustains families thus ensuring their continued existence. This paper thus argues that the vanhu/abantu (people) of the sub-region have employed proverbs among other ways to ensure that unhu keeps people going even when faced with daunting challenges. It asserts that through the use of some of these aspects of living heritage in the form of expressions like proverbs, unhu has been, and continues to be affirmed. Through an analysis of some proverbs of the Manyika, especially those of the Tangwena people on the border with Mozambique, by employing the speech act theory, this paper discusses how through proverbial lore the Manyika have buttressed and affirmed unhu in their communities, primarily among their children. The paper concludes by emphasizing that such gems of intangible cultural heritage need to be vigorously preserved, promoted and safeguarded through various means that include radio and online interactive platforms.
Not Yet Uhuru: Aspects of Social Realism in Vonani Bila’s Selected Poetry
Authors: Sebola Moffat , J. Abodunrin Olufemi
Published: December 2021

This article analyses Vonani Bila’s selected poetry for its ability to produce an ‘air of reality’. The central argument of the article is that Bila embraces an aesthetic of realism, which essentially values unsparing, accurate and sordid representations of the psychological, social and material realities of postcolonial (and democratic) South Africa. Undergirded by the Marxist theory of Social Realism, the qualitative approach and descriptive design, this article purposively selected ten poems from some of the anthologies in which Bila published his poetry, namely; Magicstan Fires, Handsome Jita and Sweep of the Violin. Bila’s poetry can best be situated within the historical contexts that shape his texts, namely; the apartheid era, ideas about capitalism in newly democratic South Africa, the emergence of a vibrant immigrant community in South Africa and idealised notions of achieving equality and prosperity through education in South Africa. This article is mainly a critical analysis, and not a historical account of the apartheid era and democratic dispensation of South Africa. In the analysis, it was noted that Bila’s poetry generally manifests the literary categories of social and psychological realism, respectively. As a social realist, Bila explores the problems of economic inequality and captures the experience of both rural and urban life in a post- and neo-colonial context of South Africa. As a psychological realist, on the other extreme, Bila is concerned with delving beneath the surface of social life to probe the complex motivations and (un)conscious desires that shape his literary personae’s perceptions. The article concludes with the notion that, in his commitment to document the realities of everyday life in South Africa, both at social and psychological dimensions, Bila offers a penetrating insight into the repression, alienation, marginalisation, instabilities, and inequalities that structure post- and neo-colonial South Africa.
Enabling countries to apply behavioural science in using global survey data to inform their Covid-19 policies
Authors: Corker Elizabeth , Altieri Elena , Michie Susan , Adsett Eloise
Published: December 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vital importance and impact of human behaviour on viral transmission. During 2020, large amounts of global survey data were collected and made freely available to help the response. Many teams responding to the pandemic lack capacity to interpret and apply behavioural data. A collaboration of the World Health Organization’s Behavioural Insights team and UCL’s Centre for Behaviour Change designed and piloted two templates to enable survey data use during the first months of the pandemic. The first template documents key behaviours, thoughts and emotions related to the pandemic, with social interactions and population adherence to behavioural guidelines. The second template enables countries to formulate questions or issues that they would like behavioural data to address. This collaborative process applying behavioural science theory produced structured templates to enable the organisation, interpretation, sharing and application of survey data to inform policy and practice in different country contexts.
