MAGINARY OR EXPRESSIVE: XXI CENTURY ARCHITECTURE IN THE WORKS OF EXCELLENT MASTERS
Authors: Kreizer I.
Published: April 2022

The article deals with the theme of the interaction of "expressiveness" and "pictoriality" in the work of the masters of architecture of the XXI century. Architects' methods of work with such concepts as "imagery" and "expressiveness" became the cornerstone in understanding the concept of "modern" in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The architecture of the twentieth century in the leading countries of Europe, the USA, then the USSR, trying to keep pace with scientific discoveries and technical capabilities, created a number of rationalist avant-garde trends, which later merged into modernism (international style), gradually abandoning decor and imagery in buildings. The architects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries urged to look for means of forming a new architecture without decor and ornaments. The architecture of rationalism, and then modernism, abandoned figurativeness in an effort to express the content of modernity. This approach has led to both practical and theoretical problems. Architecture as an art form began to “speak” with the user in a different language, instead of historically proven decorative and pictorial techniques, its language became an expression of abstract forms and dynamic solutions. Looking at the works of outstanding contemporary masters, the question arises what means and techniques they use in the process of creating architectural objects and whether there is a place for decor in their work. Whether decor in the architecture of the 21st century has lost its function as an informative and visual means, whether it has become an expressive component of the architectural form is a question that will be considered in the article using the examples of famous world-class architects, and the works of Ukrainian architects will also be involved. The article also discusses modern methods of work of architects with the form.
INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL? FACTORS INFLUENCE ACCEPTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT RIVER FUNCTIONS IN JELAWAT PARK VISITORS
Authors: Rahman B. , Kautsary J.
Published: April 2022

River border development is a problem in almost all cities. Previous research has discussed river border development from environmental, economic, legal, and socio-cultural aspects. This research is entered to fill the gap from the educational aspect, reviewing its influence as a potential media for river conservation to provide recommendations from problems to potential. This paper investigates the determinants that influence the level of knowledge of visitors to Taman Jelawat as a river border park on the function of the Mentaya River. Using logistic regression, the study sample consisted of 150 visitors to Taman Jelawat. The results showed that the distance from the visitor's residence to the river was an internal factor influencing the level of knowledge of river functions. While the external factors of visitors or factors from Jelawat Park became dominant with repeated visits, friends visiting, and favorite park zones as factors that could significantly influence the level of knowledge of Jelawat Park visitors. This shows that Jelawat Park as a river order park can be a good meeting point for humans and rivers. Meeting points can be useful for preserving river functions by building community knowledge about river functions.
RESEARCH OF MIXED POLYMER COMPOSITIONS BASED ON ACRYLIC MONOMER
Authors: Zolotov S. , Shahin A.
Published: April 2022

The study of structural and mechanical properties of acrylic compositions based on methyl methacrylate, modified with polymers of the vinyl series. It was found that compositions of the mixed type based on methyl methacrylate have a high modulus of elasticity in the vitreous and highly elastic state. The observed effect is due to antiplastification as a result of chemical grafting of a polymeric modifier to macromolecules of polymethyl methacrylate. The effect of modifying polymer additives on the dynamic modulus of elasticity, speed of sound, tangent of the angle of mechanical losses at room temperature was studied in a wide range of concentrations. It is established that the concentration dependences of the structural and mechanical properties of monomer-polymer compositions are extreme. In the region of low concentrations, maxima are observed, which depend on the type and composition of polymer modifiers.

At low concentrations of polymer modifier (up to 15 wt. h.) and at concentrations of about 50 wt. including the processes of ordering and chemical grafting lead to the compaction of molecular packaging in the system (the speed of sound increases and mechanical losses fall). These processes predominate over the process of classical plasticization, which leads to a decrease in the amount of intermolecular interaction. At other concentrations of polymer modifiers PS and PSM the second process prevails, which leads to a decrease in the speed of sound and an increase in mechanical losses due to increased molecular mobility.

The introduction of the polymer modifier in the original monomer makes the composition unsuitable in terms of application to the surface of the elements intended for subsequent bonding. Therefore, in our opinion, it is advisable to limit the introduction of polymer additives not more than 20 wt. hours per 100 wt. including the original monomer – methyl methacrylate. Modification in this limitation (range from 5 to 15 wt. H) not only maintains technological advantages but also provides compared to the unmodified composition of high elasticity of the adhesive material, which is a very important condition for minimizing deformation of the adhesive seam of reinforced concrete structures.

Additional recommendations on the technology of production and use of monomer-polymer acrylic compositions as adhesive compositions are given, taking into account the amount of polymer modifier introduced.

Published: April 2022

The article considers the use of expert methods to study the degree of influence of turnover on the efficiency of the trading company.

A group of experts who took part in the relevant survey was involved in conducting the research. Technically, the survey was organized through a number of Google forms with further processing of results in the environment of MS Office 365.

The following parameters were chosen for the research: profitability of maintenance, internal rate of return (IRR), response sensitivity (IRR), payback period, turnover ratio, minimization of inventories.

The survey was conducted according to the Delphi method, ie it was iterative. Initially, the experts anonymously filled in the data on the feasibility of using certain indicators of turnover as a criterion for assessing the effectiveness of the trading company, using a single system of scoring. After statistical processing of the results and determination of the concordance coefficient, the results of the survey were provided to the expert group for review and, after which the next stage of the survey was conducted. This process was repeated until the level of consistency reached the desired level. As a result of the research, a decision was obtained with a coefficient of consistency of 0.964, according to which the three most important indicators were identified, namely: rating "VSD response sensitivity" (rating 1), "internal rate of return, %" (rating 2), profitability THAT,% ”(rating 3).

The described approach was used in the design of a component of the existing information system, which is used in a number of trading companies and proved its effectiveness.

Authors: Abramov Y. , Kryvtsova V. , Mikhailyuk A.
Published: April 2022

The methods of control of the technical station of gas generators of systems for saving and supplying water are examined, which are based on the variation of their amplitude-frequency characteristics. The first method of control is based on a variety of information on the a priori set frequency of hundred and fifty constant and harmonic warehouse vices in empty gas generators. A priori, the frequency is set to be collected for the mind, which is the most important turning point for the constant hour of the gas generator of the water saving system. Another method of control is the transmission of the formation of test signals at two a priori given frequencies and the assignment of an additional value of the amplitude-frequency characteristics of gas generators at these frequencies of the values ​​of their constant hours. It is shown that for the implementation of these methods in the control of the technical station of gas generators in systems for saving water supply, it is necessary to ensure the value of their amplitude-frequency characteristics or their equivalents in terms of the amplitude values ​​of the vice in empty gas generators. In accordance with the criteria for the designation of a technical plant for gas generators of systems for saving and supplying water, tolerance criteria are met. The third method for controlling gas generators based on different physical models, as described by the operator, which results from the mathematical model of gas generators in systems for saving and supplying water. In this way, the implementation of the method of control of gas generators is carried out until the values ​​of the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the gas generator of that physical model are equal at a priori set frequencies. It should be noted that when choosing a control method for a technical station of gas generators in systems for saving and supplying water to the first line, one should give precedence to the third of the considered methods.

It is noted that today the number of new challenges and dangers that threaten the proper safety and health of workers is growing rapidly. Of particular note is the need to counter the COVID-19 pandemic, which is having a devastating effect on the safety and health of citizens and on modern public relations in general, a unprecedented threat on a global scale. At the same time, with the development of the information society and the emergence of new technologies, new resources are emerging to improve the share of social and labor relations. This applies both to purely applied aspects of the acquisition and application of acquired knowledge, and to determine the prospects for the protection of working people, taking into account the most important issues of today. All this requires the urgent development and improvement of modern research in the field of professional activity.
A necessary precondition for research in the field of professional activity was a careful analysis of the latest factors and threats that greatly complicate the search for optimal forms and methods of safety in the workplace (first of all, the need to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, exclusively by retroactive measures and means). Today, the fact that they should be conducted on an integrated basis and with the obligatory involvement of a systematic approach is becoming increasingly important. The applied aspect of the organization of research in the field of professional activity should be taken into account, which is that the quality of such research depends on the use of resources and opportunities that arise due to the development of the information society and the emergence of new technologies. The need to develop a full-fledged information support, through which the researcher not only receives the appropriate information necessary for his own research work, but also has additional opportunities for a full creative search; the actual formation of information support is the first stage of any study.
Borders of Masculinity: The Hero's Journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Authors: Walsh Cara
Published: April 2022

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown into one of the most popular entertainment franchises since its debut film in 2008. Even with competition rising in the superhero film industry, the MCU continues to stand out due to its unique and intricate depiction of the hero’s journey. The three foundational heroes of the MCU (Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor) illustrate how toxic expressions of masculinity create borders to their emotional development and character growth, borders that they must overcome along the hero’s journey. In his first film, Iron Man, Tony Stark begins to reevaluate the path that his father laid out for him when he undergoes a major moral transformation that makes him realize the violent impact of weapons manufacturing at Stark Industries. By becoming Iron Man, Tony makes a commitment to bettering himself and serving as a protector, but his insecurities continue to manifest into his public image as hero until his final appearance in Avengers: Endgame. Captain America, though not the most obvious depiction of toxic masculinity, struggles with the same identity issues as Tony Stark. From his first film, Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rodgers battles with insecurities that stem from always having been the “little guy.” Steve constantly starts fights that he cannot win to stand up for others, and repeatedly enlists to the WWII draft despite being rejected due to poor health every time. His desperation to fulfill the hero role separates him from his only love, Peggy Carter, by an uncrossable border, time, until he gives these toxic traits up to return to her in Avengers: Endgame. Thor also struggles to fill his father’s shoes as the king and protector of his home world, Asgard. His need to be seen as a hero and fierce warrior make him impulsive and quick to violence, which puts his kingdom at risk and bases his self-esteem on this image of himself. Though Thor’s arc isn’t finished yet, Avengers: Endgame illustrates his coping with his failure to fulfill this image as he rebuilds his self-esteem into his own identity. These three heroes demonstrate how toxic masculinity creates borders to their personal growth and progression along the hero's journey.

Стаття присвячена питанню українськомовної адаптації психодіагностичної методики «Каліфорнійський психологічний опитувальник» (СРІ) в межах вдосконалення системи психологічного забезпечення роботи з персоналом органів системи МВС України. У нашій країні дотепер не розроблено українськомовних варіантів цього опитувальника, хоча його діагностичний потенціал досить значний і може використовуватися в правоохоронних органах держави Автори статті докладно розкривають теоретичні основи і внутрішню структуру експериментального дослідження, в якому взяли участь більше трьохсот співробітників Національної поліції України з різних підрозділів (патрульної та кримінальної поліції, дільничних інспекторів). В статті наводиться україномовний текст опитувальника (СРІ-U) і ключі до нього. Основні шкали СРІ-U, яких є двадцять, групуються в чотири категорії – а) відносини з іншими - свідчить про ступінь врівноваженості, упевненості в собі, б) управління собою - виявляє пристосованість, зрілість, соціальну відповідальність особи; в) мотивація - визначає здатність до самореалізації; г) особистісні характеристики - виявляє деякі характерологічні особливості працівника. Латентно-структурний тверджень оригінального варіанту СРІ дозволив виокремити ті, котрі чітко належать певним шкалам, із числа останніх були відібрані 134 твердження, які виявились найбільш зрозумілими українськомовним респондентам і в рівній мірі відображували усі шкали опитувальника СРІ-U. Також у статті представлено середньостатистичні тестові норми, а також основні психометричні характеристики адаптованого СРІ-U - критеріальну і конструктну валідність, надійність (ретестову і паралельних форм), внутрішню узгодженість шкал тощо). Показано, що за результатами виконання СРІ-U психолог може встановити, до якого особистісного типу належить респондент: високі і середні індекси за шкалами стенічного типу реагування  і низькі за шкалами гіпостенічного регістру дозволяють віднести особу до альфа-чи гамма- типу; низькі значення за стенічними шкалами шкалами і високі за гіпостенічними - означають належність особи до бета- або дельта-типів. Відзначається, що більшість працівників поліції продемонстрували показники за альфа- (55-65%) і гамма- (16-18%) типами особистості, які є продуктивними для правоохоронної діяльності і характеризуються екстравертованістю, активністю, лідерськими тенденціями, енергійністю тощо. Результати дослідження довели діагностичну верифікацію зазначеного опитувальника і доцільність його використання у процесі психологічного забезпечення роботи з персоналом органів системи МВС України.

Inflation is an increase in the price of an item that tends to be continous. This study aims to find out the effect of the money supply and interest rates on inflation in Indonesia for the period 2015-2020. The data in this study is secondary data obtained from the website while analysis data uses WarpPLS (Descriptive quantitative, outer model, inner model, hypothesis test). Based on the result of hypothesis testing with WarpPLS showed that the variable amount of money supply negatively and significanly on inflation indicated by the path coefficient value of -0,723 and pvalue 0,001. In variable interest rates have a positive and insignificant effect on inflation indicated by the path coefficient values 0,169 and pvalue 0,085. Related to the results of the analysis, this could be due to the fact that the policies and strategies implemented by the government were still in an ineffective condition to suppress existing inflation, so the government had to be more relevant in making policies so that inflation did not continue to decline and instead became a deficit which had an impact on the stability of the economy in Indonesia. The government needs to implement monetary policy carefully so that the economy in Indonesia is stable.

This study aims to find empirical evidence regarding the effect of firm size, leverage and profitability on earnings management with bonus compensation as a moderating variable. A total of 194 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2018 to 2019 were used as the study population. Purposive sampling was used as a sampling method which obtained 87 companies with 126 units of analysis. Data collection in the study was carried out using the documentation method. This study uses the method of moderated regression analysis (MRA) which is processed through IBM SPSS Statistics 21 software. This study proves empirically that there is a negative effect between firm size on earnings management, and there is a positive effect between profitability on earnings management and there is no influence between leverage to earnings management. Furthermore, bonus compensation can be used to moderate the effect of profitability on earnings management, but cannot moderate the effect of firm size and leverage on earnings management. The conclusion of this study is earnings management practices will increase when the company has a high level of profitability. High profitability from management tends to maximize profits by maximizing bonuses received by managers, increasing company performance so that it looks good and gains the trust of investors.

Archives of the Dance (27), The Establishment of Beijing Dance School in the First-Hand Report of Soviet Specialist O. A. Il'ina: Introduction, Translation, Notes
Authors: Shan Chou Eva , Singh Lee G.K.
Published: April 2022

The Beijing Dance School was founded in 1954 by China's Ministry of Culture to develop the dance arts through professional training in Chinese classical dance, the folk dances of the ethnic minorities and Han Chinese, and ballet and character dance. Ol'ga Aleksandrovna Il'ina's report, filed with the USSR Ministry of Culture, is the only known Soviet account, covering both the intense preparations for the school and the complexities of its first year of operation. Aspects of her report provide insights into 1) the Soviet model of dance propagation and the nuts and bolts of how it produced the ballet-inflected Chinese dance genres, 2) the convergence of the military dance performance system with the professionalization of civilian dance training, and 3) China's role in the dance history of the Cold War, specifically the tours of Moiseyev Dance Company and Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theatre. This article translates Il'ina's report and provides an introduction and notes.
Categorising C.S. Lewis's Literary Theory
Authors: Keena Justin
Published: April 2022

C.S. Lewis's two volumes of literary theory are compared and contrasted with the particular works in mainstream twentieth century literary theory that they most closely resemble. The Personal Heresy is akin to, but ultimately divergent from, the New Critical papers ‘The Intentional Fallacy’ and ‘The Affective Fallacy’. Likewise An Experiment in Criticism is akin to reader-response theories of the phenomenological variety, especially those of Georges Poulet, Wolfgang Iser, and Roman Ingarden, but unlike most other kinds. Lewis's position as a theorist is too reader-focused for New Criticism but also more formalistic than most reader-response theories. Nevertheless, these are the two movements with which his work has most in common, unlike other major twentieth-century movements, such as gender studies, Marxist theory, new historicism, queer theory, postmodernism, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, and structuralism.
Chesterton’s Epistemology: A Study in the Development of Newman’s Doctrines
Authors: Pickering David
Published: April 2022

This article situates G.K. Chesterton’s work in relation to the theological epistemology of John Henry Newman. It studies the roles of reason, imagination, mystery, emotional knowledge, communal knowledge, and experience in Chesterton’s epistemology, and the relationship between logical argument and narrative in his writing. The article attempts to demonstrate that Chesterton’s work contains an implicit theological epistemology which in numerous respects parallels Newman’s and argues that Chesterton developed Newman’s epistemology in certain areas in the context of his work as an apologist. The article concludes with reflections on what Newman’s influence on Chesterton may imply with regard to Chesterton’s role as a hidden channel for Newman’s influence on later writers.
Arap Baharından Başarısız Devlete: Libya
Authors: ŞEKER Şevket
Published: April 2022

Bu çalışma, Arap Baharı gösterilerinin Libya’yı başarısız devlete dönüştürmesinin nedenlerini ve arka planını ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda tarihsel bir perspektiften Libya’nın siyasi ve tarihi dönüşümü ele alınmıştır. Libya’nın siyasi, toplumsal ve ekonomik yapısı başarılı bir ulus devlet inşasının önündeki engel olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca toplumsal bölünmüşlük ve aşiret bağlarının güçlü olması parçalanmışlık ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Böylesi bir toplumsal yapının üzerine inşa edilen ve bütün kesimleri merkezden kontrol etmeyi amaçlayan siyasi yapı, güvenlik merkezli yaklaşım benimsemek zorunda kalmaktadır. Dolayısıyla müreffeh bir devlet inşası için ayrılması gereken kaynaklar, siyasi sistemin sürdürülebilirliği için harcanmaktadır. Ayrıca Arap Baharı sürecini bazı ülkeler kansız atlatırken bazılarıysa kanlı ve yıkıcı bir şekilde halen atlatmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu sürecin nasıl olacağı, olaylara dış müdahalenin etkisiyle ilgilidir. Libya’daki gösterilere dahil olan dış müdahale, ülkenin tam anlamıyla çökmesine ve iç savaşın patlak vermesine yol açmıştır. Libya halen normalleşmeye çalışmakta ve iç savaşın bitmesi için mücadele vermektedir. İç dinamiklerin tetiklediği sorunlar ve yabancı devletlerin müdahalesi Libya’da işlemeyen bir devlet sisteminin ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur.
Take It to the Curb: Scalable Communication Between Autonomous Cars and Vulnerable Road Users Through Curbstone Displays
Authors: Holländer Kai , Hoggenmüller Marius , Gruber Romy , Völkel Sarah Theres , Butz Andreas
Published: April 2022

Automated driving will require new approaches to the communication between vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians, e.g., through external human–machine interfaces (eHMIs). However, the majority of eHMI concepts are neither scalable (i.e., take into account complex traffic scenarios with multiple vehicles and VRUs), nor do they optimize traffic flow. Speculating on the upgrade of traffic infrastructure in the automated city, we propose Smart Curbs, a scalable communication concept integrated into the curbstone. Using a combination of immersive and non-immersive prototypes, we evaluated the suitability of our concept for complex urban environments in a user study (N = 18). Comparing the approach to a projection-based eHMI, our findings reveal that Smart Curbs are safer to use, as our participants spent less time on the road when crossing. Based on our findings, we discuss the potential of Smart Curbs to mitigate the scalability problem in AV-pedestrian communication and simultaneously enhance traffic flow.
Imaging Assessment of Endothelial Function: An Index of Cardiovascular Health

Published: April 2022

Endothelial dysfunction is a key early mechanism in a variety of cardiovascular diseases and can be observed in larger conduit arteries as well as smaller resistance vessels (microvascular dysfunction). The presence of endothelial dysfunction is a strong prognosticator for cardiovascular events and mortality, and assessment of endothelial function can aid in selecting therapies and testing their response. While the gold standard method of measuring coronary endothelial function remains invasive angiography, several non-invasive imaging techniques have emerged for investigating both coronary and peripheral endothelial function. In this review, we will explore and summarize the current invasive and non-invasive modalities available for endothelial function assessment for clinical and research use, and discuss the strengths, limitations and future applications of each technique.

Published: April 2022

Chemotherapy and targeted therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of oncology patients. However, these antineoplastic treatments may also induce adverse cardiovascular effects, which may lead to acute or delayed onset of cardiac dysfunction. These common cardiovascular complications, commonly referred to as cardiotoxicity, not only may require the modification, suspension, or withdrawal of life-saving antineoplastic therapies, with the risk of reducing their efficacy, but can also strongly impact the quality of life and overall survival, regardless of the oncological prognosis. The onset of cardiotoxicity may depend on the class, dose, route, and duration of administration of anticancer drugs, as well as on individual risk factors. Importantly, the cardiotoxic side effects may be reversible, if cardiac function is restored upon discontinuation of the therapy, or irreversible, characterized by injury and loss of cardiac muscle cells. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction induced by anticancer therapies may also subsequently evolve in symptomatic congestive heart failure. Hence, there is an urgent need for cardioprotective therapies to reduce the clinical and subclinical cardiotoxicity onset and progression and to limit the acute or chronic manifestation of cardiac damages. In this review, we summarize the knowledge regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to the onset of cardiotoxicity associated with common classes of chemotherapy and targeted therapy drugs. Furthermore, we describe and discuss current and potential strategies to cope with the cardiotoxic side effects as well as cardioprotective preventive approaches that may be useful to flank anticancer therapies.

Published: April 2022

Transcatheter mitral therapies offer treatment options to selected patients who are unable to undergo open procedures due to prohibitive surgical risk. Data detailing the design and structure of transcatheter mitral services to ensure appropriate patient selection and tailored management strategies is lacking. We report our initial experience of developing and running a purpose-built transcatheter mitral service. The nature and number of referral sources, the multi-disciplinary make-up of the dedicated Mitral Heart Team and the use of integrative imaging assessment with incorporation of computational solutions are discussed. In addition, a summary of the clinical decision-making process is presented. This report sets out a framework from which future clinics can evolve to improve and streamline the delivery of transcatheter mitral therapies.
Platelet-Derived Exosomes and Atherothrombosis

Published: April 2022

Platelet-derived exosomes (PLT-Exos) are the main subtype of extracellular vesicles secreted by platelets, which carry proteins, nucleotides, lipids, and other substances to acceptor cells, playing an important role in intercellular communication. PLT-Exos increase with platelet activation and are involved in the process of atherothrombosis by delivering cargo to acceptor cells. Atherosclerotic plaque rupture, causing thrombosis and arterial occlusion, is the basic pathological change leading to cardiovascular events. PLT-Exos from different donors have different functions. PLT-Exos secreted by healthy volunteer or mice can inhibit platelet activation and inflammation of endothelial cells, thus exerting an antithrombotic effect, while PLT-Exos derived from some patients induce endothelial apoptosis and an inflammatory response to promote atherothrombosis. Furthermore, increased PLT-Exos reflect platelet activation and their cargoes also are derived from platelets; therefore, PLT-Exos can also be used as a biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. This article reviews the characteristics of PLT-Exos and discusses their role in cell-to-cell communication and atherothrombosis.
