ОНІМНИЙ ПРОСТІР ЗБІРКИ НОВЕЛ МАРКА ЧЕРЕМШИНИ «СЕЛО ЗА ВІЙНИ»
Authors: Лях Т. О. , Гречин І. М.
Published: March 2023

Онімний простір є важливим складником формування картини світу художнього тексту, адже є відображенням не лише індивідуальної манери письменника, стилістики твору, а й культурно-історичної епохи, до якої він належить. Марко Черемшина – письменник-новатор, котрий жив і творив у час формування українського модернізму, тому дослідження онімного простору художніх творів письменника потребує належної уваги. У сучасному українському мовознавстві сформувалися різні погляди щодо поняття онімного простору та класифікації онімів. Найвідомішими є наукові доробки Л. Белея, В. Калінкіна, Ю. Карпенка, кожен з яких сформував власний підхід до вивчення онімії художнього тексту, термінологію на позначення власних назв у художньому творі. Доречними для пропонованого дослідження є твердження тих мовознавців, котрі розглядають онімний простір художнього твору у зв’язку зі світосприйняттям автора (Н. Подольська, Л. Селіверстова). Для вивчення онімного простору новелістичної збірки Марка Черемшини «Село за війни» найоптимальнішим буде загальновживаний підхід до класифікації, який спирається на розподіл власних назв живих істот та назви неживих предметів. Провідний лінгвістичний метод даного дослідження – описовий (дескриптивний). За допомогою цього методу в дослідженні виділено одиниці аналізу, здійснено їхню класифікацію та інтерпретацію за допомогою прийомів зовнішньої і внутрішньої інтерпретації. Зроблено висновок, що типи онімів у збірці Марка Черемшини «Село за війни» підпорядковуються жанру художнього тексту, його загальній ідеї. З’ясовано, що онімний простір збірки «Село за війни» репрезентовано досить розмаїто, проте найчисельнішу групу у збірці становлять антропоніми. Ономастична лексика досліджуваної збірки виступає вагомим художньо-виражальним засобом та є виразним маркером авторського індивідуального стилю Марка Черемшини.

Authors: Ulyanovskaya E. V. , Atabiev K. M.
Published: March 2023

The paper presents the results of a long-term test of eight scab-immune apple varieties of domestic and foreign breeding under the conditions of North Caucasus region of Russia. The study was aimed at improving the assortment of apple trees in the Southern region of Russia on the basis of a comprehensive assessment of promising varieties of domestic and foreign breeding. The study objects included scab-immune apple varieties (Malus x domestica Borkh.) of various ecological and genetic origin: Carmen, Nika, Orphey and Margo (North Caucasian Federal Scientific Center of Horticulture, Viticulture, Wine-making together with Nationwide Research Institute for Horticultural Breeding, Russia), Mikhsan and Zarya Stavropoliya (Stavropol Experimental Horticulture Station together with Nationwide Research Institute for Horticultural Breeding, Russia), Modi (Italy), Florina (France). The common and up-to-date breeding programs and techniques developed with the assistance of Nationwide Research Institute for Horticultural Breeding were applied. Based on the long-term results of ecological testing of new scab-immune apple varieties of different origins under the conditions of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and Krasnodar Krai, the most valuable varieties for industrial use and for breeding process were identified. The following varieties were identified as promising for industrial use and breeding: varieties with a late flowering time – Margo and Orphey; varieties with a high average flowering score (4.5–5.0 points): Carmen, Modi, Orphey, Nika, Florina, Margo. It was found that all investigated varieties of apple trees can be attributed to the annual fruit-bearing; the periodicity of fruiting varied within 22.6–28.8 %. In 2020, in the conditions of North Ossetia-Alania the maximum yield was observed for the following scab-immune varieties: Margo (24.1 t/ha) and Modi (25.2 t/ha) on rootstock СK2; Mikhsan (19.2 t/ha) and Nika (20.6 t/ha) on rootstock MM106. In order to improve the assortment of the Southern region of Russia and to create modern intensive orchards, new varieties of apple of domestic breeding were recommended: Margo, Nika, Orphey and Modi (foreign breeding), which have high productivity, immunity to scab (based on Rvi-6 gene), better commerciality and a long period of fruit storage.

Published: March 2023

Nutrient management of high-density apple orchards remains to be a serious problem in central Russia. Enhancing apple productivity by applying higher fertilizer rates leads to an increased environmental burden and undesired consequences. Although the transition to organic farming may solve many horticultural problems, conventional methods still produce higher crop yields. One of the most pressing issues consists in reducing mineral fertilizer use by applying more organic substances. This approach allows soil fertility to be preserved while maintaining high levels of plantation productivity. In the present research, particular attention was paid to potassium nutrition of apple trees. During 2020 and 2021, we studied the effect of potassium fertilizers in various standard amounts and silicon-modified potassium humate on the state of apple trees cv. Ligol grafted on 62-396 rootstock in the experimental orchard of I.V. Michurin Federal Research Center. The orchard was planted in 2018 according to a 1.2×4.5 m pattern (1852 trees per hectare). The experimental design was as follows: control (irrigation); full standard amount of N20P6K28fertilizers; ¾ standard amount of N15P4K21mineral fertilizers + ½ standard amount of potassium humate, ½ standard amount of N10P3K14mineral fertilizers + ½ standard amount of potassium humate; full standard potassium humate amount of 10 L/ha. In 2020, the introduction of potassium humate provided the maximum yield, although without significant differences compared to the use of mineral fertilizers. In 2021, the yield was also at the level achieved with mineral fertilizers. Potassium humate provided a higher nitrogen content in the leaves as compared to mineral fertilizers, largely due to a significant increase in the availability of nitrogen and potassium in the soil. The content of available phosphorus was not significantly affected. This assumes that the effectiveness of humates depends on the soil type. The combined application of reduced standard amounts of mineral fertilizers and potassium humate contributed to maintenance of high yields under with a less dramatic increase in soil acidity.
Evaluating initial forms of strawberry for anthocyanin content in fruits
Authors: Andronova N. V.
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we evaluate strawberry varieties of different geographical origin in terms of anthocyanin content in fruits under the conditions of a particular region with the purpose of identifying valuable genotypes for inclusion in further breeding work and practical use. The research was conducted in 2015–2020 at the Kokino collection site of the Federal Research Center for Gardening, located 24 km south-west of the city of Bryansk, in the village of Kokino, Vygonichsky district, Bryansk region. The effect of genotype and weather conditions on the accumulation of anthocyanins in strawberry fruits was studied. The research objects included 35 strawberry varieties of domestic and foreign breeding. Observations were carried out in accordance with the conventional methodology for varietal study of fruit, berry and nut crops. Fruits for the analysis were collected in dry sunny weather, at the stage of optimum maturity. Anthocyanin content in fruits was determined according to the color scale developed by A. A. Zubov and K. V. Stankevich in Michurin Research Institute of Genetics and Fruit Plant Breeding. Most of the varieties (57.1%) were characterized by medium variability of the indicator by year (V = 10–20%). The varieties Sudaruska (24.9%), Darselekt (24.2%), Polka (20.2%), Mieze Schindler (34.1%), Tenira (28.3%) showed a high dependency of fruit anthocyanin content on climatic conditions during the ripening period. The varieties with dark-coloured fruits were found to be Rubinovy Kulon, Barynya, Tsaritsa and Amulet. Their coloring was associated with high anthocyanin levels (more than 80 mg/100 g). These varieties comprise a valuable source material for further breeding and practical use.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence and predictors of first-pass effect (FPE) and to compare the clinical outcomes among FPE, multiple-pass effect, and incomplete reperfusion (ICR) in acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion.

METHODS

Patients from the ANGEL-ACT (Endovascular Treatment Key Technique and Emergency Workflow Improvement of Acute Ischemic Stroke) registry were included. FPE was defined as complete reperfusion after a single pass of the thrombectomy device without rescue treatment. MPE was defined as complete reperfusion after ≥ 2 passes of the thrombectomy device. ICR was defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score of 2b independent of the number of passes. Multivariable analyses were used to determine predictors of FPE and to compare the following outcomes: functional independence, mortality within 90 days, intraprocedural complications, and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) among FPE, MPE, and ICR.

RESULTS

There were 1139 patients, of whom 307 (27.0%) achieved FPE. FPE was related to occlusion location (M1 vs internal carotid artery [ICA], adjusted OR [aOR] 1.57, 95% CI 1.15–2.15, p = 0.004; M2/anterior cerebral artery vs ICA, aOR 2.06, 95% CI 1.32–3.22, p = 0.002) and negatively associated with underlying intracranial atherosclerosis disease (ICAD) (aOR 0.33, 95% CI 0.23–0.49, p < 0.001). Patients with FPE had a higher rate of functional independence (52.7% of FPE patients vs 45.6% of MPE patients and 37.1% of ICR patients, p = 0.002; MPE vs FPE, aOR 0.69, 95% CI 0.51–0.95, p = 0.023; ICR vs FPE, aOR 0.45, 95% CI 0.31–0.66, p < 0.001), lower rate of intraprocedural complications (4.2% vs 18.1% and 21.2%, p < 0.001; MPE vs FPE, aOR 6.23, 95% CI 3.36–11.54, p < 0.001; ICR vs FPE, aOR 7.70, 95% CI 3.97–14.94, p < 0.001), and lower rate of ICH within 24 hours (18.3% vs 27.9% and 26.9%, p = 0.009; MPE vs FPE, aOR 1.97, 95% CI 1.35–2.86, p < 0.001; ICR vs FPE, aOR 2.03, 95% CI 1.30–3.16, p = 0.002) than those with MPE and ICR.

CONCLUSIONS

FPE was achieved at a rate of 27.0% and associated with functional independence, decreased intraprocedural complications, and ICH. Non-ICA occlusion and underlying ICAD were predictors of FPE.

Chinese Policy in Latin America: Lessons and Risks for Spain
Authors: Pupysheva Maria
Published: March 2023

In the past two decades, Latin American countries and China have strengthened cooperation in such areas as politics, economy, finance, culture, and military sphere. In these relations each party pursues its own goals: China, for example, is looking for access to new sources of raw materials and markets, as well as support on some sensitive issues on the international agenda, such as the problem of human rights or the status of Taiwan. Latin America seeks new sources of finance, and technology, as well as the diversification of foreign policy ties. Sino-Latin American relations are most active in the sphere of economy, investment and lending, that increases the interdependence between China and the countries of the region and even the dependence on Chinese funding. At the same time, despite gradual growth, social and cultural contacts between parties remain limited, and that constrains the development of mutual understanding between them. The strengthening of Beijing's position in Latin America logically arouses Spain's fears, as the region has always been a historical space for its foreign policy; Spain's position and attractiveness there are gradually declining. However, since cooperation with China contributes to the development of Latin American countries, it can play a positive role for Spain and creates an opportunity for building ties between Spanish and Chinese institutions. Thus, the article is devoted to the problem of the influence of the development of Sino-Latin American relations on the role of Spain as a traditional foreign policy partner of the region. The authors conclude that in the context of the growth of partnership between Latin America and China, Spain will have to look for ways to cooperate with Chinese entities, trying to maintain its role in the region and derive benefits from such cooperation.
The Mongolian National Factor in the PRC and Sino-Mongolian Relations
Authors: Tarantul Roman
Published: March 2023

The article examines the influence of the Mongolian national factor on Sino-Mongolian relations, as well as its repercussion in PRC domestic policy, primarily in the Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia. Particular attention is paid to ethno-cultural reasons and conditions that hinder the stable development of bilateral relations between China and Mongolia: the existence of world pan-Mongolian and nationalist movements, the dispute over the status of the XIV Dalai Lama, China's actions to appropriate the symbols of traditional Mongolian culture and the commercialization of Genghis Khan's personality. In the study of Beijing's national policy in Inner Mongolia, the historical prerequisites that served to complicate the Mongolian issue in the modern PRC were identified, and the features of the policy of forming the "consciousness of the community of the Chinese nation" in relation to the IMAR were discovered. Special attention is paid to Beijing's attempts to acculturate the Mongols living in the PRC by translating educational programs from Mongolian into Chinese, regulating the rituals of Buddhism, and appropriating common Mongolian intangible cultural heritage sites to China.Separately, the growing economic interaction between China and Mongolia, which results in China's leading position in the foreign trade turnover of Mongolia and in foreign investment in the country's enterprises, is considered. The Beijing's sanctions pressure on Ulaanbaatar is analyzed in connection with disagreements on national and religious grounds, as a result of which the Mongolian leadership made concessions to the PRC.
 
The study concludes that, from a rational viewpoint, it is beneficial for China and Mongolia to maintain a stable and predictable bilateral political and economic interaction. At the same time, the Mongolian national factor forces both states to treat each other with a certain degree of apprehension. Beijing sees Mongolia as a country bearing the threat of pan-Mongolian separatism, and Ulaanbaatar, based on the historically established Sinophobic mentality of the Mongols, is afraid of falling into total economic and cultural dependence on the PRC.
Epoch-Making Triad of Chinese Revolutions
Authors: Kondrashova Luidmila
Published: March 2023

In the Chinese theory of the "triple revolution" the three major stages of the entire period of the PRC's existence were named as follows: 1) the "revolution of the seizure of power", which led to the overthrow of the old regime and the establishment of a new one; 2) the "revolution of reform", which paved the way for self-improvement and development of the socialist system; 3) a "transitional or transformational revolution", which completes the primary stage of building a socialist society. The dates of the turning points of a revolutionary nature are considered to be 1949 (the proclamation of the PRC), 1978 (the beginning of the policy of "reforms and opening-up"), 2012 (the holding of the 18th Congress of the CPC).
 
The revolution of 1949 was of a new democratic nature and consolidated a socialist orientation. However, soon after the revolution, during the lifetime of Mao Zedong, the leftist course won and all phases of socialist construction (the policy of "new democracy", socialist transformations and the transition to communism through the "cultural revolution") were passed in an accelerated mode. The program of market reforms and the "mixed economy" launched at the end of 1978 made it possible to increase economic potential and raise living standards, but resulted in a number of negative consequences of the "loss of the banner", i.e. deviation from the ultimate goal of socialist construction. The coming to power of the fifth generation of Chinese leaders in 2012, led by Xi Jinping, was marked by a significant adjustment of the policy of "reform and opening-up" and the implementation of a number of important social transformations, including the fight against corruption and poverty. China's "own path" can be seen as a transition from "state capitalism" to "market socialism" with features of specific convergence and growing socialism. Given the complexity of China's current internal and external situation and the difficulties of a "trailblazer," the implementation of the new strategy will be far from cloudless.

Symbolism and metaphors of water in religious experience
Authors: Beck Boris
Published: March 2023

Čedo Antolić, a respected singer-songwriter, born in 1951 in Zagreb, where he died in 2019, moves within the Catholic religious vocabulary, but has a distinctive metaphoric system. He emphasizes the frequent mention of water in various forms - such as a stream, river, sea, rain, drop - and within its typical theme of addressing God, and in that discusses issues of existential importance. The imagery of Čedo Antolić related to water is very rich, and some of its aspects are analyzed here, for example the analogy between water and light, as an attribute of God. The experience of water as a medium of purification is very important, which can be presented either as rain that falls, or as a stream or river that is entered, or as the sea through which one travels. Fruitful metaphor of the river develops as a way of life or the flow of time, which can be identified with a road or street. A number of metaphors thus reach allegory, so that life - like a river or a road - has a beginning, which purity we can try to return to, and it also has its end, as estuary or death, when the poet is meeting God at the end of his journey.God is both present and absent, he is both the goal and the companion; God is the touch of the supernatural in the existence, but existence also seeks to transcend life. Since faith is true elsewhere, and not yet realized in the present life, travel can also be understood as wandering, and water has negative connotations of something that consumes man or moves him away from communion with God. The street, which is actually a river, is at the same time a place of wandering for those who do not know God, as well as a place of prayer for one who knows him; it is both night and day - bright for those who are in that street, dark for those who do not know that path. The street - the river - is also the place where the poet sings, so the themes of water, life, religion and art are intertwined.

Published: March 2023

The study's objective is to investigate the willingness of consumers to pay for alternate fuel sources, such as fixed charge electricity connections, in the Neelum district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. The data was collected through a survey using questionnaires from four villages in the Neelum district in 2018. Questionnaires were collected from three hundred and fifteen household representatives, out of which two hundred and twenty-five questionnaires were selected. Thirty questionnaires were excluded as household representatives were not permanently residing in the area. Neelum district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir is blessed with natural resources such as forest, water, minerals, etc. Households generally use wood as a fuel source. Using exploratory analysis and a binary logistic model, the study revealed that consumers with higher income and expenditure on fuel are more inclined to pay for fixed charged electricity connections. Furthermore, households with a high level of education were also ready to pay for fixed charged electricity connections. We also concluded that old and young consumers have almost the same preferences. Government should initiate awareness campaigns to educate residents about the conservation and protection of the forest.
Corporate Governance and Information Asymmetry
Authors:   MCB Islamic Bank Limited, Lahore, Pakistan, Akmal Muhammad , Rashid Abdul , Amin Sajid
Published: March 2023

The financial industry is regarded as the backbone of the economy, and good corporate governance is critical to its smooth operation. Keeping in view the importance of corporate governance, this study aims to empirically investigate the impact of corporate governance on information asymmetry with moderating role of institutional quality of Islamic and conventional financial institutions. We used unbalanced panel data from 2006 to 2017 of 49 financial institutions including commercial banks, insurance companies, and Modaraba companies. A two-step system-Generalize Method of Moments (GMM) estimator is used to mitigate the endogeneity problem. Corporate governance of Conventional Financial Institutions (CFIs) is significantly related to information asymmetry however, the board size, and board composition of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) are insignificant with asymmetric information index (AII). Further, the size of the shari’ah board is negatively and significantly related to AII. Institutional Quality (IQ) is significantly contributed toward the reduction of information asymmetry and plays a role as a moderator. Further, the impact of corporate governance on IFIs and CFIs differs due to the nature and contractual relationship of the parties and the institution’s type. The results of the study reveal that good quality institutions are important for corporate governance structure and the reduction of information asymmetry in financial institutions.
The Association Between Fibromyalgia, Hypermobility and Neurodivergence Extends to Families: Brief Report
Authors: Kelly Clive
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVES

Fibromyalgia is associated with symptomatic hypermobility. People with these conditions have a higher prevalence of neurodivergent conditions. Many fibromyalgia patients with hypermobility also report similar symptoms within their family. This study explores the presence of diagnosed disorders among close relatives of patients presenting with fibromyalgia and hypermobility.

METHODS

All patients presenting with both fibromyalgia and hypermobility to the rheumatology clinic were invited to participate. Each of these participants reported all confirmed diagnoses of any of neurodivergence, fibromyalgia or hypermobility among their first- and second-degree relatives. Participants were invited to prepare a family tree detailing these diagnoses. We calculated the incidence of each of neurodivergence, fibromyalgia and hypermobility within these relatives and compared them to the incidence derived from families of case-control patients with osteoarthritis. 

RESULTS 

Among 13 index patients (all female, median age 38 years), 9 had a diagnosed neurodivergent condition (69%). Among their 163 relatives, 68 (42%) had a diagnosed neurodivergent condition, compared to 4.7% among case-control relatives (p>0.00001). The incidence of diagnosed hypermobility and fibromyalgia in relatives of index cases was 36% and 22%, compared to 8% and 4% in case-control relatives (p=0.00001, p=0.00012)

CONCLUSION

This self-reported small case-control study confirms the association of fibromyalgia, hypermobility and neurodivergence, and suggests that close relatives also exhibit this association. Females are disproportionately overrepresented within pain populations, in contrast to neurodivergence in other settings where males predominate, perhaps due to underdiagnosis in females. Gene clustering may contribute to these associations which extend into the community.

Conclusions. The modern folk-stagedance “Hopak” has retained a certain connection with the general lexical fund of Ukrainian folkchoreography and elements of the figurative content of folk sources. Among the destructive factorsof the genetic relationships of original folk sources and stage variants of the hopak is the lack of auniversal system for recording dance movements and a high degree of improvisation. The author,stylized hopak dominate the repertoire of professional and amateur groups of folk-stage dance inmodern Ukraine. Today, it is possible to distinguish second-order stylization – an imitation of thecompositional, stylistic features of the world-famous folk-stage work “Hopak” by P. Virsky. Thearchetype of the hopak was fixed, the associative connection between the hopak and thecharacteristic features of the Ukrainian nation: courage, love of freedom, strength, perseverance,decisiveness, etc. took root in the minds of Ukrainians.

Authors: Diana Gultsova
Published: March 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify the poetic and intonational uniqueness of the genre “model” of the French piano sonata in line with the historical paths of the development of the musical culture of France, as well as the aesthetic-style settings of its culture in the first half of the twentieth century. The methodology of the work is the intonation concept of music from the perspective of the intonational-stylistic, etymological analysis inherited from B. Asafiev and his followers. Significant for this work turned out to be analytic-musicological, genre-style, interdisciplinary, historical-cultural approaches that highlight the factors that contribute to the identification of the spiritual-semantic and genre-style specificity of French piano sonata as an important issue of European instrumentalism of the twentieth century. The scientific novelty of the work is determined by the introduction into the musicological everyday life of analytical generalizations regarding the French piano sonata of the first half of the 20th century. and its representatives, as well as a generalization of the French «model» of the sonata piano cycle, which was formed at the intersection of preserving the traditions of national musical instrumentalism and the spiritual and aesthetic quest of modernity. Conclusions. Born at the crossroads of German, Italian and French instrumentalism proper, the French piano sonata determined in its genre and style preferences, which, unlike its German-Austrian “model”, gravitated towards familiarity, theatricality, programming, polyphonization of texture, minimization of elaboration, and dominance exposition principle and politematism. The specificity of cyclization is noted in the sonata of a genus similar to the displacement of the semantic center in favor of the ending. Piano sonatas by V. d’Indy, P. Dukas, A. Jolivet, D. Milhaud, A. Dutilleux, F. Poulenc demonstrate the dominance of the neoclassical style, a tendency to adramatic, non-conflict type of dramaturgy. At the same time, the typical qualities of the French piano sonata in the works of the aforementioned authors are obvious in their inclination towards indirect programmatic through the embodiment of theatrical quality, to the clavier (polyclavier) or organ-polyphonic textured presentation and interpretation of thematic material, as well as the correlation of the sonata with the suite cyclicity.

Conclusions. Analysis of L. Berio's electronic piece «Visage» demonstrates an organic combination of experimental searches and traditions renewed in accordance with specific sound material. Innovative trends prevail in the selection of sound elements. The sound space «Visage» is realized by means of electronic synthesis and taped voice. The vocal and electronic layers are not opposed to each other, but, on the contrary, coexist in unity. Using acoustic objects of different types, selected at the pre-compositional stage, L. Berio builds a thematic profile of the piece – from noises to the deployment of wide bands of electronic continua. The connections between the elements are provided not by the sound pitch identity, but due to sound, in particular phonetic, similarity. The connection with the art of previous eras is manifested in the desire to reveal deep philosophical ideas, which are carried out through the deployment of thematic fields, localized in certain compositional sections. The dramatic profile of the work, realized by electronic means, directs the vector of the perception to reveal the author's intention.
