Enhancing Human-Computer Interaction with Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning
Authors: Khan Danial
Published: July 2023

Enhancing Human-Computer Interaction with Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning" highlights the significance of incorporating NLP and ML techniques into HCI. By integrating these technologies, HCI becomes more intelligent, efficient, and user-friendly. NLP enables the understanding and generation of natural language, making interactions more intuitive and conversational. ML techniques provide the ability to learn from data, enabling personalized and context-aware experiences. The benefits of enhanced HCI include improved user experience, enhanced usability, and increased accessibility. Practical applications such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and recommendation systems demonstrate the value of NLP and ML in various domains.
Degree of heterogeneity in the contexts of language users mediates the cognitive-communicative trade-off in semantic categorization
Authors: Nedelcu Vlad , Smith Kenny , Lassiter Daniel
Published: July 2023

It has been argued that patterns of cross-linguistic variation in the semantic categories labelled by individual words are a result of a trade-off between cognitive pressures (so as to be simple to learn and use) and communicative pressures (so as to be efficient in communication). However, the question of what exact mechanisms control this trade-off has been left largely unanswered. We argue that one factor could be the extent to which referential contexts at the level of local interactions are similar or different across users of a category system. To test this hypothesis we propose a hierarchical Bayesian model for communication in a multidimensional meaning space, in which agents actively consider spatial similarity relations during interaction. Our models predict that less variability in contexts across interactions induces categories with lower communicative cost, while more variable contexts across partners are more strongly associated with category systems with lower cognitive cost.

Assessing Precipitation Trends that may inform Aging Dam Overtopping across the USA
Authors: Hwang Jeongwoo , Lall Upmanu
Published: July 2023

In many cases, persistent or recurrent synoptic circulation patterns lead to multiple wet days that precede an extreme rainfall event. The joint occurrence of high antecedent rainfall and extreme rainfall defines a compound event that may pose a high risk for overtopping of aging dams. Our novel analysis assesses whether there are significant trends across the conterminous United States (CONUS) in the joint and individual occurrence of extreme daily precipitation and k-day antecedent precipitation extremes, for k=5 and k=30 days. We find significant trends in the mean and variance of annual maximum daily rainfall, and in the k-day antecedent precipitation in certain regions of the CONUS. However, their mutual dependence as measured through a copula is invariant with time. The probability of their joint exceedance, i.e., simultaneously experiencing high extremes of daily precipitation and the k-day precipitation total, is also increasing in many places in the CONUS.

Published: July 2023

This paper aims to assess whether the recently proposed "inner screen model" of consciousness that follows from the free-energy principle (FEP) can be regarded as a minimal unifying model (MUM) of consciousness, thereby providing a common foundational model for consciousness studies, and integrating approaches to consciousness based on the FEP. We first present the inner screen model, which follows from applying the quantum information theoretic version of the FEP to the known sparse (nested and hierarchical) neuroanatomy of the brain. We then review models of consciousness that are premised on the FEP. Specifically, we review Bayesian versions of the global workspace and attention schema theories, theories premised on world-models and self-models, and models formalizing the computational structure and properties of time-consciousness. We then discuss how extant FEP-theoretic models of consciousness can be situated with respect to the candidate MUM.
Movement-Based Human Identity Recognition: Analysis and Hypotheses
Authors: Wang Xiaoye Michael
Published: July 2023

Human observers can recognize the identity of a person solely based on how the person moves. Although numerous empirical studies have confirmed this observation, this ability's underlying mechanism still remains unclear. The current work leverages an open-access human movement database to explore aspects of human identity recognition via point-light displays. Methods such as dimensionality reduction techniques (e.g., principal component analysis) and graph theory were used to extrapolate the actors' dynamic identity signature based on high-dimensional movement data. Based on the analyses, several hypotheses were presented and their corresponding behavioral experiments were proposed.
Eco-Anxiety Motivates Pro-Environmental Behaviors: A Two-Wave Longitudinal Study
Authors: Pavani Jean-Baptiste , Nicolas Lucie , Bonetto Eric
Published: July 2023

Recent studies suggest that eco-anxiety motivates pro-environmental behaviors. However, these studies are all cross sectional in nature, and they frequently neglect possible important confounding variables (e.g., ecological identity). The present study was designed to deepen ourunderstanding of the effect of eco-anxiety on pro-environmental behaviors by addressing the abovementioned limitations of recent research. The present study consisted of a 2-wave longitudinal study in which eco-anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors as well as possible confounding variables (i.e., ecological identity and personality) were assessed among French adults. As hypothesized, individuals’ experience of eco-anxiety at t1 was positively and significantly related to individual s’ engagement in pro-environmental behaviors at t2. This significant positive relationship was observed even when ecological identity, the Big Five domains of personality, and pro-environmental behaviors at t1 were controlled for. It thus appeared that compared with individuals with low levels of eco-anxiety at a given time, individuals with higher levels of eco-anxiety at a given time displayed a greater likelihood of experiencing increases in their subsequent engagement in pro-environmental behaviors. The results are discussed in light of current knowledge about the function of anxiety.

Authors: Tolchinsky Alexey
Published: July 2023

In this paper I will present the case of Paul, who survived an assault as a young adult, resulting in a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic epilepsy. Paul's reactions to this traumatic event in adulthood are considered in the context of his earlier traumatic experiences, his psychodynamic conflicts, and his characteristic defense patterns. Transference and countertransference will be considered from the viewpoint of psychodynamic therapy with a traumatized patient who has been in a complex, dependent relationship with one of the perpetrators. Paul's progress in therapy will be reviewed, including his realization of the profound impact of trauma on his life and his strong will to work through his issues.
The validity of the conspiracy ideation measure GCBS is much better supported than reported: Correction of a technical error in Swami et al., (2017)
Authors: Petras Nils
Published: July 2023

The factorial validity of the Generic Conspiracist Beliefs Scale (GCBS) and its subscales is well supported by empirical study, contrary to the conclusions reached in Swami et al. (2017). I demonstrate this on both the data from Swami et al. (2017) and an independent open data source. The pattern of model estimates and the model fit values replicate the original results by Brotherton, French, and Pickering (2013) well and are in line with the proposed internal structure of the measure. The discrepancy to the results reported by Swami et al. (2017) is due to a technical error in their analysis (see supplementary materials for an exact replication of the error). It is discussed how this fundamentally changes the conclusions reached in Swami et al. (2017). The role of open science in correcting such mistakes is briefly discussed.
The Struggle is Real: Motivating Goal Pursuit by Normalizing Difficulty
Authors: Sharif Marissa , Gershon Rachel , Park Alexander B.
Published: July 2023

Consumers often use products, such as language learning apps or fitness trackers, to aid them in their goal pursuits. In long-term goal pursuit, setbacks and struggles are inevitable and may lead consumers to disengage from the goal and discontinue using goal-relevant products. How can marketers help struggling consumers re-engage with their goals? Across a pilot study and five preregistered experiments (N = 7,491), we find that when consumers struggle to achieve a goal, setting a norm that goal pursuit is often difficult improves motivation and leads to a greater likelihood of re-engaging with goal-relevant products. We further show that the effectiveness of this messaging is driven by the perceived attainability of the goal – when companies normalize goal pursuit as a difficult process, consumers believe the goal is more attainable for themselves, increasing their interest in goal re-engagement.
Availability, accessibility and affordability of diabetes health care facilities in Latur, India
Authors: Bansode Balasaheb , Biradar Rajeshwari A , Prasad Jang Bahadur
Published: July 2023

Despite the enormous burden, diabetes care in the community is still substandard. According to studies conducted in the Latur District, there is a significant gap between recommended and actual diabetes care, which results in poor health outcomes. A cross-sectional survey was undertaken in the Latur District of Maharashtra. A sample of 505 self-reported persons with diabetes from 413 households were interviewed from May to October 2017. The study used total samples of self-reported diabetes for the bivariate and multivariate analyses. Only 19% of respondents reported that they accessed government hospital facilities for treatments of diabetes. Elderly, belonging to SC/ST, working as a farmer/labour, and poor categories accessed government facilities for diabetes treatment. Most of the people could not access healthcare facilities because more than a third of respondents live more than 31km from hospital facilities because of poor transportation, lack of connectivity, and highly unaffordable healthcare expenses and time access to healthcare facilities. The adjusted odds ratios show that after controlling for important background factors find the link between unaffordability, distance, and poor transportation to healthcare institutions. The government and private sector must urgently decentralize healthcare facilities, and the government must enhance the health system by making health check-ups available at sub-centres, PHCs, rural hospitals, and special diabetic departments in the district and sub-district hospitals. Furthermore, the private sector and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have to take steps to raise diabetes awareness and provide healthcare services at the grassroots level.

Published: July 2023

Spondylolysis is aunilateral or bilateralanatomical defect of pars interarticularis of vertebral arch and commonly occurs at L5-S1 level (85-95%) and L4-5level (5-15%). It is one of the most common causes of lower back pain (LBP), is prevalent in approximately 6% of population and can progress to spondylolisthesiswhich in turn can cause radiculopathy. Although majority of patients may remain asymptomatic, symptomatic patients in early stages usually benefit from conservative treatment. Hence, early identification is very important and multidetector CT (MDCT) scan is the most sensitive technique to diagnose spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis. The prevalence and long-term prognosis of spondylolysis is still not known in the context of Nepal. This study aims to find out the prevalence of incidental lumbosacral spondylolysis on CT scan inNepalese population. Cross-sectional descriptive studydata was collected from 2629 CT abdomen and pelvis performed during four and half year’s period at Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital. Presence of spondylolysis was evaluated on multiplanar and volumetric images. Associated feature like spondylolisthesis was also noted. Data obtained was compiled and analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Services – 20 (SPSS-20). Out of total 2629 patients, 1135 were males (43.1%) and 1494 were females (56.9%). Youngest was 14 year and oldest was 102 year old. There was linear positive relation between the age of the patients and frequency of spondylolysis. Incidental lumbosacral spondylolysis was seen in 146 patients with overall prevalence of 5.5%. Out of which 71 were males with 6.2 % prevalence and 75 were females with 5.0 % prevalence.Females were nearly equally affected as males. Frequency of spondylolysis was more in below 60 year (57.5%) compared to above 60 year age group (42.5%). Commonest location was at L5-S1 level, seen in 134 patients (91.8%) followed by L4-L5 level in 8 patients (5.5 %) and both L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels in 4 patients (2.7 %). Spondylolisthesis was seen in 43 (29.5 %) out of 146 patients with spondylolysis, out of which 15 were males (34.9%) and 28 were females (65.1%). In presence of spondylolysis, females had more statistically significant prevalence of spondylolisthesis than males (p value<0.05). The overall prevalence of spondylolysis and at levels at which it occurs concur with that of established literatures. However, this study shows that females are only slightly less affected than males and is nearly equally prevalent in below 60 year age group unlike shown in previous studies.

Authors: Prasai Adim , Prasai Abha
Published: July 2023

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is the second most common complaint in postoperative period especially in high risk surgeries like laparoscopic cholelithiasis. Many pharmacological strategies has been used for its prevention as PONV may cause adverse effects. Drugs like granisetron and dexamethasone has been used alone and in combination for the prophylaxis of PONV. We observed the adequacy and safety of the combination of these drugs by injecting granisetron (40mcg/kg) with dexamethasone (6mg) after induction of anesthesia. The total number of cases enrolled was 115. During 0-2 hours postoperatively, nausea, retching or vomiting was not seen in 110 (95.7%) of patients. Four (3.5%) patients had nausea or retching and 1 (0.9%) had vomiting episode in 30 minutes duration. During 2-6 hours, no nausea, retching or vomiting was seen in 113 (98.3%) patients and an episode of nausea was present in 2 (1.7%) cases. There was no nausea, retching or vomiting in any patient during 6-12 and 12-24 hours. The prophylactic anti-emetic therapy with combination of granisetron and dexamethasone is effective and safe during the first 24 hours in the postoperative period after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Published: July 2023

Cervical cancer is the cancer that forms in the tissue of cervix. It is usually slow growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests and proper screening. Hence it is absolutely necessary for the health workers especially female workers to have proper knowledge about cervical cancer and have a positive attitude to getting screening tests done as per the Cervical Cancer Screening guidelines so that early detection and diagnosis can be done leading to decrease in the incidence of the disease. We have conducted this study to see the knowledge, attitude and practice regarding cervical cancer screening among female health professionals of a tertiary care hospital in Kathmandu District. Overall score for adequate knowledge about cervical cancer among different health professionals was not significantly different (χ2 = 1.118, p-value = 0.572). However, there was a significant association between knowledge and those who underwent screening (χ2 = 8.481, p-value = 0.004). There was no association between Knowledge and attitude towards cervical cancer (χ2 = 3.144, p-value = 0.076). However, there was significant association between attitude and profession (χ2 = 4.568, p-value = 0.033).

The article presented the research results on the carrying capacity of some intra-provincial rivers in Bac Ninh province, using indirect assessment methods to assess the capacity of receiving wastewater and the carrying capacity of the river. The results of this study were the basis for Bac Ninh province to publish information on the environment of rivers and river sections that are no longer capable of carrying loads. The results showed that the whole Ngu Huyen Khe river was polluted, and no longer capable of receiving more pollutant loads of waste sources. For the Tao Khe river, section 1 of the river was still capable of receiving additional loads; from section 2 to section 6, the water quality indicators were completely unable to receive additional pollutant loads from waste sources. For Ngu river, section 1 and section 2, water quality was severely degraded, however, from section 3 to section 6, the water quality was somewhat improved. For Dau river, the whole river has reduced water quality and was no longer able to accept the pollutant load from the discharge sources. For Bui river, the water quality can be assessed as slightly polluted. For Dong Khoi river, the whole river had quite good water quality. Comparing pollution levels among rivers showed that the pollution level of Ngu Huyen Khe river, Dau river and Tao Khe river was the highest, and the ability to receive wastewater was almost no longer available. The rivers with less pollution were the Ngu and Bui rivers, the river with the best water quality is the Dong Khoi river.

The Inhumanity of War and the Fragility of Peace in Light of Political Theology and the Social Doctrine of the Church
Authors: Vlk Mirko
Published: July 2023

This article lays out views on war and peace in parallel from the perspectives of Carl Schmitt’s political theology and the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. For Schmitt, war is crucial for the survival of the state and is its inalienable right. The Church points out the inhumanity of war and considers peace, alongside social justice, to be the responsibility of the international community. Both recognize the need for the moral and legal regulation of war to allow for the prospect of peace, though for different reasons.
Immigrant Settlement and Integration in Canada: Trends in Public Funding
Authors: Braun Jennifer , Clément Dominique
Published: July 2023

This article is the first study to document trends in state funding for the settlement sector in Canada. It is based on an innovative new dataset that was secured through several years of using freedom of information legislation to collect federal and provincial funding data on settlement and integration programs. This study demonstrates, among other things, that there are significant disparities in funding for settlement and integration services among regions within Canada. Funding for immigrant-serving organizations (ISAs) is also concentrated among a small number of organizations. These trends have potential implications for the access and quality of settlement services available to newcomers based on where they land in Canada.
Painted in Broad Strokes: English-Language News Media Coverage of Home Care in Relation to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Canada
Authors: Yamamoto Cynthia , Funk Laura , Ethier Alexandra , Carrier Annie , Contandriopoulos Damien , Stajduhar Kelli
Published: July 2023

As eldercare was at the forefront of mainstream news media during the COVID-19 pandemic, these media accounts may draw on and/or further reshape public understandings of home care in Canada. A frame analysis informed by critical discourse theory was used to examine 56 English-language articles related to home care (March 2020–March 2021). Home care is often “tacked on” to discussions of long-term residential care and is constructed by what it is not, by what it is a preferred alternative to, and by what it might circumvent (i.e., neglect, contagion). Infused with taken-for-granted meanings and linked to population aging and system crisis, home care is positioned as the progressive future of Canadian eldercare. Although home care investment is a common call, at times the gravity of the problem is imbalanced against small-scale individualistic solutions. Inequities of home spaces and impacts on families are obscured, with homes characterized as idealized places of dignity and (relative) safety. Older adults are positioned as vulnerable, passive victims, in contrast to their benevolent helpers. The authors discuss how we can clarify and strengthen political advocacy and public discourse around eldercare without reinforcing compassionate ageism, apocalyptic demography, and fear of aging while recognizing the nuances around receiving care in either home or residential settings.

Apple (Malus domestica) is a very important fruit tree that is widely cultivated in different climatic regions of the world. Scab (Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) G.) and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) are common fungal diseases in apple orchards. The harmful impact of these disease results in poor fruit size and quality, premature fruit fall, peeling, less fruit bud development in the next year's fruit buds. When the patho-gen is present under favorable environmental conditions, disease develops highly, and the crop losses of up to70 %. Phytosanitary monitoring for the spread and development of the scab and powdery mildew pathogen was carried out the main fruit tree-growing regions of Kazakhstan, namely, Almaty, Turkestan and Zhambyl regions apple-growing farms in 2022. Research was conducted on apple orchards on the territory of 14 ha in Almaty region, 288 ha in Turkestan region and 40 ha in Zhambyl region. We carried out a phytopathological assessment of fungal disease for folowing commercial varieties Starkgrimson, Zolotoy presvesov, Aydaret, Americanka, Samured, Gala, Fuji and Golden Delicious grown in these regions. According to the results of the study, there were no symptoms of powdery mildew in Almaty and Zhambyl regions. Furthermore, pow-dery mildew distribution was 18.05 % in the Aidaret, while its development was at a lower level of 3.06 % in the apple orchards where Tulkibas district of Turkestan region. Scab pathogen is present in all orchards of the studied regions. The pathogen Venturia inaequalis was spread at an average level with 23 -31 % in Starkgrim-son, Zolotoy presvesov and Aidaret varieties, while its development was at a low level with 1-2.84 % in the Almaty region. The disease distribution is with 30-37 % of orchards where Starcrimson, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious varieties are grown in the Zhambyl region. As well as the development of the disease was 2-4.12 %. In the Turkestan region, in Samured and Starkrimson varieties, scab ditribution was at a low levelwith 3-3.71 %, while the development of the disease was with 0.50-0.81 %. In Idared and Gala varieties, thedisease distribution in the range about 16-17 %, while the development developed at a lower level with 0.13-1.25 %.

The scientific topicality. If the industry has low entry barriers, rapidly changing demand for goods/services, and there is a significant creative component, then there are great difficulties in quantifying the capacity of the labor market and clearly understanding the demand for workers. We observe such a situation in the field of cultural industries.

Modern societies are experiencing drastic changes, peopleare immersed in the process of searching for identity, which can also contribute to the relevance of acquiring education in the field of socio-cultural activities.

The purpose.To outline of the sectors of professional activity of the manager of culture within the field of cultural industries.

The methodology. During the research, the analytical method, methods of description, comparison and generalization were applied.

The results. Clarification of the boundaries of the field of cultural industries, classification of activities, clarification of the names and professional tasks of specialties is an urgent need for further institutionalization of the field.

The scientific novelty. It is proposed to consider the specialty “Management of culture” as having a generalizing nature and covering all types of activities in the field of cultural industries. The division of the functional tasks of the profession in the form of specializations is defined. As a part of the specialty, the specializations “art management”, “production”, “cross-cultural management” are provided for some of the tasks for the production of cultural/artistic products. According to the functions in the field of culture, the division of tasks into sectors in the field of professional employment is proposed.

The practical significance. Elaboration of the structure of employment in the field of culture. Understanding the prospects and forecasting the further development of various sectors. The options were added for the development of cultural industries in a separate area of the territory of the community and/or industry (companies, organizations, institutions) and the ability to determine the degree of demand for specialists, prospects for their employment.

The conclusions. Thanks to the general picture of the industry and the detailing of the types of activities, it is possible to assess the shortage/surplus of economic entities in sectoral and territorial section, analyze the dynamics of business activity and, accordingly, further prospects for the demand for specialists and employment opportunities.

Determining the applied and comprehensive nature of culture management activities, the proposed criteria for dividing specialized activities into art management, production, and leisure management are a subjective assumption and a reason for professional discussion.

The scientific topicality is that government institutions, public organizations of graduates and educational institutions, trade unions, employers’ associations, marketing agencies for market research, employment intermediary companies, local self-government bodies, freelancers and even separate events, festivals, forums strive to balance demand and supply, form the infrastructure of this specific market.

The purpose is to analyze the opportunities and approaches of determining the market demand for specialists in the field of culture and art as a result of determining the structure of the industry.

The methodology. During the research, the analytical method, methods of description, comparison and generalization were applied.

The results. In order to solve the problem of assessing the demand for specialists in the labor market, firstly, it is proposed to outline the boundaries of the industry and define the types of activities. The division of the field of culture and art by types of activity into the field of classical (traditional) art, the field of cultural industries, and the field of cultural leisure and entertainment, is substantiated. The task of a culture management specialist to ensure their sustainable functioning is presented.

The scientific novelty. A comparison was made between the accepted approaches to the classification of the sectors of cultural and creative industries in the context of their importance for the economy of countries and the structure of cultural industries in the context of employment and the demand for specialists in the labor market.

The practical significance. In the future, there are prospects for outlining the sectors of the cultural manager’s professional activity in the cross-section of the field of cultural industries with an indication of their inherent tasks and types of activity.

The conclusions. Types of activities in the structure of creative and cultural industries differ from scientific and technical spheres by their inherent artistic direction, as well as by activities related to their implementation, fixation and design.

Culture management is an intermediary between the artist and society. It focuses, on the one hand, on the provision of conditions and maintenance of art, on the other hand, on the receiving, promoting, using and preservating of achievements of art in society.
Information Means of Warfare

Published: July 2023

The relevance of the paper is determined by the fact that the information component plays the most important role in the hybrid war that Russia is conducting against Ukraine today. In the conditions of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine, the study of the informational factor of hybrid wars is an urgent problem of both military and political sciences, as well as the social communications science.

The purpose of this article is to highlight the information factor of warfare in the context of the development of mass communication.

The methodology is based on the use of systemic, structural-functional, comparative analysis methods for the process of developing the information factor of warfare.

The conclusions. The informational component has been inherent in wars since ancient times, but its intensity, forms and methods were determined by the development of mass communication tools, which took place on the basis of scientific and technological progress. Originating as rumors spread by word of mouth in the enemy’s camp, information methods of warfare were transformed into printed propaganda materials with the advent of printing. However, they reached their greatest flowering with the advent of audiovisual media and communication. During the First World War, documentary films were used for propaganda purposes, but mainly for the mobilization of the own population. Radio, having drastically broken the barriers of information dissemination, significantly strengthened the role of an information factor in the Second World War and, later, in the Cold War. The advent of satellite television relegated radio to the background, as visual illustrations of information diversions made them accessible to the mass consciousness. But the greatest opportunity for the use of mass communication in war came with the advent of the Internet, because it is less censored than other media; it can be used through various electronic devices, informational influence with its help can be carried out covertly. The development of technical means of information transmission does not mean that more advanced means completely supplant less advanced ones. The matter lies only in the priorities of their use. The spread of the information factor in the conducting of wars has led to the appearance of such a variety of them as hybrid wars, in which the information factor plays a leading role in their preparation and an overriding role in their conduct.

The relevance. Considering the representativeness of journals in the information space allows us to actualize the problem of the repertoire of modern Ukrainian printed media as an active communicator. The availability of journals with various typological characteristics allows us to assert the harmony and completeness of providing the informational needs of readers and the realization of the public purpose of the press.

The purpose of the research is to study the peculiarities of the typological representativeness of domestic journal production in the regions of Ukraine.

The methodology. Statistical, comparative methods and the method of generalization allowed identifying quantitative characteristics of the typological structure of journals and forming an objective basis for the study. Methods of analysis and synthesis were used to establish the peculiarities and regularities of the representativeness of journals in the domestic information space. Methods of description and visualization allowed presenting the results of the study.

The results. Considering the typological characteristics of publications, their multifaceted functions, problems, and reader groups makes it possible to determine the structure of the media market, the saturation of its segments, and the place and individual features of each publication in the system of periodicals.

The scientific novelty. Nowadays in the information space of Ukraine, printed periodicals, particularly journals, are in tough competition with new media, the technological basis of which gives them significant advantages in distribution and perception. However, the value of journals as the core of purposeful intellectual activity of society’s elite is preserved. The resources of convergence, which provide the opportunity to present the same content in forms that differ in their technological basis, actualize the research of journal publications.

The practical significance. The typological structure of the modern Ukrainian information space was established by determining the representativeness of functional types of journals.

The conclusion. The study of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of journals and periodicals published on the territory of Ukraine during 2018-2020 proved the dominance of journal products published in the capital of the state over the general flow of journals. The most powerfully represented scientific type of journals in terms of the total number of titles and representation in all regions of Ukraine. There is an apparent lack of science fiction and literary and artistic journals. It limits the potential of the information space to intellectualize readers and form a harmonious picture of their world.
