Authors: Esteban-Muñoz Alvaro , García-Robredo Fernando , Robredo Jose Carlos
Published: December 2021

El cálculo del valor protector de obras de defensa como externalidad positiva resulta clave en aspectos como la ratificación económica o la toma de decisiones de conservación de las obras. Las obras de protección hidrológico-forestales situadas en Canfranc-Estación suponen un claro ejemplo de éxito que supera los 100 años de historia, pero que carece de validación económica y que se encuentra en paulatino deterioro. Con el objetivo de dar argumentos para mantener estas obras de protección se ha calculado su valor protector actual. Además, se han obtenido datos relevantes relativos al riesgo presente en Canfranc-Estación, afectado históricamente por inundaciones, por aludes y por caída de bloques.

Se han integrado y adaptado diferentes herramientas de valoración económica con base en el Método de los Costes Evitados. Para aplicar esta metodología se ha calculado el riesgo cuantitativo (RC) de los dos peligros principales– aludes e inundaciones -, descartando un tercer peligro – desprendimiento de bloques – por insuficiente relevancia. Ambos peligros se han modelado en dos escenarios: actual (S1) y sin obras (S2), en los cuales se han calculado los costes del proyecto (en S1) y el daño generado por cada peligro (en S1 y en S2). Los indicadores económicos e indicadores del riesgo verifican la alta rentabilidad y el alto valor protector de estas obras. Además, se han estimado los indicadores económicos de un hipotético proyecto consistente en realizar la misma obra en la actualidad, revelando la ventaja que pueden presentan este tipo de obras a largo plazo.

Operational failure assessment of Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) in harsh offshore environments
Authors: Nitonye Samson , Adumene Sidum , Orji Charles Ugochukwu , Effiong Udo Anietie
Published: December 2021

For an effective integrity assessment of marine robotic in offshore environments, the elements’ failure characteristics need to be understood. A structured probabilistic methodology is proposed for the operational failure assessment (OFA) characteristics of ROV. The first step is to assess the likely failure mode of the ROV system and its support systems. This captures the interaction and failure induced events during operation. The identified potential failure modes are further developed into logical connectivity based on the cause-effect relationship. The logical framework is modeled using the fault tree analysis technique to predict the ROV operational failure probability in an uncertain harsh environment. The fault tree analysis captured the logical relationship between the primary, intermediate, and top events probability. The importance measure criteria were adopted to identify the most probable events, links, and their importance on the failure propagation. The model was demonstrated with an ROV for deep arctic water subsea operations. The result identified the control system, communication linkages, human factor, among others, as most critical in the ROV operational failure. The methodology’s application provides core information on the Mean time between failure (MTBF) of the ROV system that could aid integrity management and provides a guide on early remedial action against total failure.
Determining residuary resistance per unit weight of displacement with Symbolic Regression and Gradient Boosted Tree algorithms
Authors: Baressi Šegota Sandi , Lorencin Ivan , Šercer Mario , Car Zlatan
Published: December 2021

Determining the residuary resistance per unit weight of displacement is one of the key factors in the design of vessels. In this paper, the authors utilize two novel methods – Symbolic Regression (SR) and Gradient Boosted Trees (GBT) to achieve a model which can be used to calculate the value of residuary resistance per unit weight, of displacement from the longitudinal position of the center of buoyancy, prismatic coefficient, length-displacement ratio, beam-draught ratio, length-beam ratio, and Froude number. This data is given as results of 308 experiments provided as a part of a publicly available dataset. The results are evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R2) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Pre-processing, in the shape of correlation analysis combined with variable elimination and variable scaling, is applied to the dataset. The results show that while both methods achieve regression results, the result of regression of SR is relatively poor in comparison to GBT. Both methods provide slightly poorer, but comparable results to previous research focussing on the use of “black-box” methods, such as neural networks. The elimination of variables does not show a high influence on the modeling performance in the presented case, while variable scaling does achieve better results compared to the models trained with the non-scaled dataset.
Performance assessment of major European ports
Authors: Quintano Claudio , Mazzocchi Paolo , Rocca Antonella
Published: December 2021

In the recent literature, the strategic relevance of ports has improved, and this paper provides a comparative analysis of 24 European ports. The port performance has been evaluated considering data envelopment analysis and Shephard’s distance function. This latter approach offers an alternative method to address a significant restraint of the standard Stochastic Frontier when the model needs to consider multiple outputs. From a policy point of view, the conclusion could offer valuable insights to support policy measures targeted to expand port efficiency. The findings obtained from the analysis reveal that several contextual indicators must be included in benchmark analysis.
NSU Davası Sonuçlandı Ve Hukuki Olarak Kapatıldı: Davanın Toplumsal Ve Siyasi Yansımalarından Kaçınmak Mümkün Mü?

Published: December 2021

Neo-Nazi Nasyonal Sosyalist Yeraltı (NSU) terör örgütü, 2000-2007 yılları arasında Almanya'da on kişiyi öldürmüştü. Kurbanların sekizi, Almanya'da yaşayan üç milyondan fazla kişiden oluşan Türk toplumuna mensuptu. Nasyonal Sosyalist Yeraltı Örgütü- NSU'nun elebaşları, Beate Zschäpe, Uwe Mundlos ve Uwe Böhnhardt idi. Bunlardan ikisi, Uwe Mundlos ve Uwe Böhnhardt, operasyonlarda kendilerini öldürdü. NSU davası başladığında NSU'nun hayatta kalan tek çekirdek kadro üyesi Beate Zschäpe idi. Beate Zschäpe ile birlikte, NSU üçlüsünün yakın çevresinde olduğu düşünülen Ralf Wohlleben ve André Eminger dahil olmak üzere dört şüpheli suç ortağı yargılanarak çeşitli derecelerde hapis cezalarına çarptırıldı. Almanya'nın en yüksek temyiz mahkemesi olan Federal Adalet Mahkemesi, 19 Ağustos 2021 tarihinde Beate Zschäpe ve diğer iki hükümlü suç ortağı tarafından yapılan temyiz başvurusunu reddetmişti. Federal Mahkeme, kısa süre önce Andre Eminger'in 2018 yılında aldığı iki yıl altı aylık hafifletilmiş hafif hapis cezasını onadı. Böylece, Münih Mahkemesinin hükmü, bu kararla tamamen hukuki açıdan bağlayıcı hale gelmiştir. Yüksek mahkemenin, Münih Mahkemesinin kararına yönelik görüşlerinde herhangi bir hukuki hata veya boşluk bulmadığı ve temyiz başvurusunu reddettiği anlaşılmaktadır. NSU neo-Nazi terör hücresinin ortaya çıkmasından on yıl sonra, Almanya Federal Adalet Mahkemesi'nin bu kararıyla, NSU davası hukuken sonuçlandı ve bütünüyle kapatıldı. Daha önceki analizlerimizde, ırkçılık, yabancı düşmanlığı ve İslamofobi’nin Almanya'da artmakta olduğunu ve AVİM olarak bu gerçeği endişe verici bir gelişme olarak gördüğümüzü belirtmiştik. NSU cinayetleriyle ilgili mahkeme kararlarının bütününün, ırkçılık, yabancı düşmanlığı ve İslamofobi’nin Almanya'da hak ettiği cezayı görmediği ve NSU örgütünün gerçek boyutlarının kasten açıklığa kavuşturulmadan bırakıldığı yönündeki algıyı güçlendirdiğinin altını çizmeliyiz.

Preprint of “Neural Underpinnings underlying the Influence of Peer Competition on Risk-Taking Behavior among Adolescent Girls: An Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) Study”
Authors: Zhang Ming-Chen , Li Jian-Bin , Dou Kai
Published: December 2021

Peer plays an important role in adolescent risk-taking. The existing studies have examined the effects of peer competition, an intensive form of peer influence, on adolescent risk-taking behavior, but the temporal neural underpinnings underlying this effect remain unclear. To fill this gap, the current study used Event related potentials (ERPs) technique in a 2 (condition: single vs. peer competition) × 2 (feedback: gain vs. loss) within-subject experiment to investigate the effects of peer competition on adolescent risk-taking behaviors and its neural process. Twenty-four late adolescent girls (Mage = 19.83 years, SD = 1.49) completed the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART) under the single and peer competition conditions with gain and loss feedbacks. ERPs were used to record the neural process when participants were working on the BART. Behavioral results revealed that participants showed more risk aversion in the peer competition condition than in the single condition. ERPs results found that during the decision-making phase, N2 component was elicited more negatively in the peer competition condition than in the single condition. During the feedback evaluation phase, a larger P300 was observed in the single condition than in the peer competition condition, while a higher amplitude of feedback-related negativity (FRN) difference wave was observed in the peer competition condition than in the single condition. This study contributes to the literature of adolescent risk-taking by identifying the effect of peer competition and its nuanced neural underpinnings.
Structural consequences of cyclical change for marginal group employment
Authors: Tåhlin Michael , Westerman Johan
Published: December 2021

In Sweden and many other countries, young people and immigrants are facing increasing difficulties in finding employment. We suggest that the decline in employment prospects for marginal groups to a significant extent can be explained by skill upgrading and over-education. In two recent papers focusing on youth and immigrants, respectively, we find support for these hypotheses. The present paper examines how the long-term evolution of youth male employment is linked to cyclical economic change, and in particular to recessions. We base our empirical analyses on data from 31 OECD countries, 1970 to 2018. A basic hypothesis we aim to test is whether the distribution of cyclical points around the line of long-run evolution of general employment has a vertically asymmetrical pattern with respect to marginal employment, such that the relative employment rate of marginal groups declines more in economic downturns (recessions) than it rises in economic upturns. If this asymmetry occurs systematically (repeatedly) over extended periods of time, cyclical change will have structural effects. We find support for this hypothesis based on our analysis of youth male employment. We suggest that two kinds of mechanism are at work in the interaction between cyclical and structural change. The first mechanism is operating from the structure to the cycle: low-skill jobs become increasingly unviable economically, but only slowly and gradually until a marked loss in general demand triggers significant employment decline tilted toward low-skill jobs. Restructuring of work organizations in the wake of the recession makes the return of low-skill jobs in the recovery less than complete. The second kind of mechanism operates in the other direction, i.e., from the cycle to the structure: the rate of educational expansion typically accelerates in recessions. This will in turn speed up the rate of over-education which tends to have a negative impact on marginal employment. We provide descriptive empirical evidence indicating that both these mechanisms are indeed active. In sum, recessions accelerate upward shifts in the skill structure that in turn depress the labor market prospects of male youth, with both links in the chain being of a lasting rather than temporary kind.

Published: December 2021

Arts engagement is a health-related behavior that may be influenced by social inequalities. While the COVID-19 pandemic provided new opportunities for some people to engage in the arts, it might have created barriers for others. We aimed to examine whether there was social patterning in home-based arts engagement during the pandemic in the United States (US), and whether predictors of engagement differed according to the type of arts activity. We included 4,731 adults who participated in the US COVID-19 Social Study between April and July 2020. Three types of home-based arts engagement were considered: reading for pleasure, arts or crafts activities, and digital arts activities. Using logistic regression models, we tested cross-sectional associations between a broad range of demographic, socioeconomic, psychosocial, and health-related factors as well as adverse events and worries during lockdown and each type of arts engagement. The factors most strongly associated with all three types of arts engagement were social support, social network size, age, race/ethnicity, keyworker status, and experiencing physical or psychological abuse during the pandemic. However, most socioeconomic and health-related factors were not associated with arts engagement, including household income and mental and physical health problems. Overall, our findings indicate that the social gradient in arts engagement was reduced in the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US. Given the health benefits of arts engagement, the potential diversification of arts audiences during the pandemic is promising for both population-level health and wellbeing and the future of the arts and cultural sector.

Varieties of music instruments are available today to produce the audible sounds which are used to make a piece of music. The music instruments have been classified into various groups depending upon the size, materials, usages, structure, and others. But, today many new practices, experiments, devices, and new instruments have been emerged with the flow of time in musical field. For all the concerned with music, a neo-classification of instruments is ever raised a question. So, from the educational point of view, some of the new music instruments, which are played today, further should be re-classified for convenience. The present article is based on an overview upon the study about the music instruments by following the secondary data and analytical method. After interpretation and analysis, some music instruments, which are still unclassified are categorized under neo-classification.

Published: December 2021

The health status of elders and elders’ perception regarding old age in a community is an important issue in a society. The present study aims to assess the health status and perception of old age of elderly population of Nijgadh Municipality. A descriptive cross-sectional study has been carried out among 204 elders taken from the community through simple random sampling method. The data were collected through face to face structured interview schedule in 2021. The descriptive and inferential statistical analysis of the collected data showed that the about 20 percent elders had got good status of health but remaining (about 80%) of them were suffering from  some kinds of health complications. Similarly, more than 73 percent of elders felt their life more problematic. This study measured significant variation (p<0.05) of level of health status with only three socio-demographic variables (age, caste, and feeling of helplessness among the variables (gender, age groups, caste, living with or without spouse, literacy status, and feeling helplessness.  Furthermore, this study measured significant variation (p<0.05) of perception about old age of elderly population with only three socio-demographic variable (age, caste, and feeling of helpless) among the variables (gender, age groups, caste, living with or without spouse, literacy status, and feeling helplessness). Based on the study, it can be said that age, caste, and feeling of helplessness status of elderly population were the major factors for creating variations in health status and perceptions of elderly life. The policies, programs, and community effort are needed for managing regular health service practice. Similarly, all the community members must be serious for keeping elders happy by managing their requirement with love which may require collective action from social, health and justice sectors.

Authors: Samokhval V. , Maksimenko О. , Nikulin О.
Published: December 2021

The main competencies of specialists in the field of knowledge 13 Mechanical engineering appertain the ability to draw up technical documentation, which includes both the design of text documents and drawings of parts, units, assemblies. Over the last decade, there has been a significant update of the standards of both the Unified System of Design Documentation and the Unified System of Technological Documentation. Suitable, according to the principle of education, to ensure the quality of the educational process, the task of implementations modern regulations into the educational process and providing students with practical skills in the design of educational documentation, which is as approximate as possible to the technical future practice.

The purpose of the work is to develop proposals for the implementations of relevant regulations in the regulatory and methodological documentation of the educational process to ensure that higher education students acquire practical skills in applying this knowledge in the design of educational documentation with the closest possible approximation to real technical documentation.

From the analysis of the requirements of the acting standards that make up the system of design and technological documentation, it follows that their requirements are quite diverse and allow some flexibility of choice, depending on the needs of developers or consumers. Corresponding, according to the provisions of education, the current methodological and regulatory documentation of higher education institutions should provide information to students about the existing system of standards for technical documentation and their practical skills in applying such knowledge.

Based on the standards of the Unified System of Technological Documentation and DSTU EN ISO 7200: 2005, proposals have been developed for the design of educational documentation by students of mechanical engineering specialties according to educational and professional programs. The proposals concern the determine of the institution of higher education as the owner of the document, the numbering of documents of the educational process, the designation of sections of the document, page numbering, design of the main inscription of drawings and the title page of text documents.

In particular, a numbering system has been developed, which allows to mark the whole set of documents of the educational process of a particular applicant, individual documents by type, separate sections of text documents and drawings. A single form of the main inscription has been developed, which can be used both for text documents and for drawings.

The proposed innovations relate mainly to the specialties of mechanical engineering for educational and professional programs. But they can be used, in whole or in part, for other specialties and fields of knowledge.

Published: December 2021

Further development of modern technologies of diamond processing is connected with application in the diamond tool of powders with new unique properties, special morphology of grains, with the increased chemical and thermal stability. To increase the heat resistance of diamonds, they are covered with a metal (metallization) or glass-ceramic layer, or introduced into the reaction mixture used in the synthesis of diamonds, alloying additives of certain elements. Recently, other methods of coating to increase the heat resistance of diamonds have been developed, such as: vacuum ion-plasma sputtering, epitaxial synthesis, magnetron sputtering, the method of liquid-phase deposition. The latter method is promising for modifying the grain surface of grinding powders of superhard materials by heat-resistant inorganic non-metallic coatings, as it is the most economically advantageous.

Determining the features of the technology of modification by the method of liquid-phase application of heat-resistant inorganic coatings (oxides and chlorides of metals and nonmetals) on the surface of grains of grinding powders of synthetic diamond brand AC6, used for grinding tools in mechanical engineering.

Modification was performed by the isothermal method of liquid-phase application of saturated solutions of both heat-resistant oxides (В2О3, Al2O3), chlorides (СаСl2, NaCl, MgCl2, FeCl3), and their mixtures (В2О3+СаСl2, В2О3+NaCl). Based on the analysis of the results of the research, it can be stated that the application of coatings of inorganic substances (some oxides and chlorides) increases the heat resistance of synthetic diamond grinding powders. Modification allows to reduce expenses of diamonds in wheels at grinding.

Conditions for modification of heat-resistant oxides and chlorides, as well as their mixtures, grain surface of synthetic diamond grinding powders are determined. Modification of the surface of diamond grains with a combination of B2O3+Al2O3 is guaranteed to double the wear resistance of diamond wheels. It is established that in all cases of modification the roughness of the parameter Ra decreases. It is determined that by changing the surface modifier of diamond grains it is possible to affect the bearing capacity of the rough surface obtained by grinding.

The development of effective ways to increase the heat resistance of grinding powders made of superhard materials, primarily abrasive grinding powders made of synthetic diamond powders, helps to improve the quality of the grinding tool.

Published: December 2021

In folk medicine there are various medicinal amalgamation possessing hepatoprotective activity. This activity is of significance because several toxins cause liver injury. Hence, many pharmaceutical companies are targeting herbal medicines for the treatment of liver abnormalities and towards evolving a safe and effective formulation with desired route of administration. In current review we have focused on the studies showing hepatoprotective effect using marine compounds and plant derived compounds. Liver disorder, a global health problem, usually include acute or chronic hepatitis, heptoses, and cirrhosis. It may be due to toxic chemicals and certain antibiotics. Uncontrolled consumption of alcohol also affects liver in an unhealthy way. To cure liver disorders several formulations of medicinal plants are being used. It is observed that hepatoprotective effect of plant is mostly due to flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, and glycoside. A single drug cannot be useful for all the types of liver disorders. Several plant extracts for liver illness results from poisonous chemicals, viruses, extra alcohol consumption, and repeated administration of medication. By using standards of protection and efficacy, manufacture of plant products need to be ruled out. Current review provides an understanding of ethnopharmocology, toxicology of several medicinal plants manifesting hepatoprotective potential. Despite of varied database analysis new discoveries and their probabilities, evidences on viral hepatitis treatment or liver cirrhosis is inadequate.  Further information about phytotherapy, toxicology, quality control studies shall be endorsed. Further in depth studies are required to discover quality trait like SAR, MOA, safety and toxicity and therapeutic potential of phytoconstituents in clinical settings.

Published: December 2021

Cumulative lifetime lead (Pb) exposure has been associated with accelerated declines in cognition through the free radical generation and epigenetic effects. Several pieces of literature have identified a correlation between exposure to lead and neurodegenerative disorders. Harwich strain Drosophila melanogaster was exposed to lead acetate for two weeks, and changes in pulse transmission by acetylcholinesterase and systemic redox were evaluated. Besides, molecular docking studies of acetylcholinesterase against Quercetin and its most common derivatives contained in food have been performed. Pharmacokinetic studies on Quercetin and its derivatives have also been performed in silico toxicity. The data obtained showed alterations in antioxidant enzymes and molecules such as catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, and glutathione. Upregulation of acetylcholinesterase activity was observed after treatment with Quercetin. In molecular docking tests, Quercetin and its derivatives were found to bind to acetylcholinesterase's active and peripheral pockets. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrate moderate solubility, high therapeutic index, excellent absorption potential, hepatoprotective and non-mutagenic properties. With other antioxidant molecules, Quercetin may also play a crucial role in avoiding the development of Alzheimer's and associated antioxidant disorders.

Published: December 2021

Nimodipine (NMD) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker useful for the prevention and treatment of delayed ischemic effects. It belongs to class ? drugs, which is characterized by low solubility and high permeability. This research aimed to prepare Nimodipine nanoparticles (NMD NPs) for the enhancement of solubility and dissolution rate. The formulation of nanoparticles was done by the solvent anti-solvent technique using either magnetic stirrer or bath sonicator for maintaining the motion of the antisolvent phase. Five different stabilizers were used to prepare NMD NPs( TPGS, Soluplus®, HPMC E5, PVP K90, and poloxamer 407). The selected formula F2, in which  Soluplus 

has been utilized as a stabilizer, has a particle size (77 nm) and polydispersity index (PDI) (0.016). The formulas with the smallest particle size were freeze dried with the addition of 1 % w/w mannitol as cryoprotectant. The saturation solubility of NMD in the prepared nanoparticles was increased twenty four-folds, and the complete dissolution was achieved at 90 minutes compared with pure NMD, which reaches only 6%. The formation of hydrogen bonding between NMD and the polymer or the cryoprotectant, as confirmed by the FTIR study. In conclusion, the preparation of NMD as polymeric nanoparticles is a useful technique for enhancing the solubility and dissolution rate.

Published: December 2021

The specificity of contemporary daily life is manifested in the interaction of mass culture with new media forms. Such interactions cause many social and cultural problems, one of which is marital well-being. The paper aims at studying the potential impact of digital space and social networks on marital relationship. The methodological basis of the study is a systematic approach to the study of social objects, interpretive research paradigm, multidisciplinary analysis. Information base of the research are monographs, articles, conference proceedings, reports, blogs. The search was conducted using the following keywords: mass culture, social networks, Internet, social media, digital space, marital relationship, mental health, psychological well-being, marital satisfaction. Social media offers a diverse experience for each user. The researchers state that this experience is largely positive that explains the growing use of social networks around the world. However, the use of social networks has its significant drawbacks and can threaten marital harmony. Danger factors are information that can arouse suspicion and uncertainty in a relationship; excessive control over partners in social networks, which destroys the sense of autonomy and privacy; excessive time spent in networks and intrusive signs of their use; disclosure of private information; insufficient privacy control; online adulteries that can cause divorce; feelings of worthlessness and dissatisfaction, which often arise as a result of comparing the personal offline reality with the online reality of the actors of communication processes and leads to frustration and depression.

Published: December 2021

Nowadays, psychology has entered a new era of its development. This is directly related to a phenomenon of cyberspace, the space in which the digital dimension of modern human life is manifested. Within the context of the development of new technologies around the world, cyberpsychology has emerged. It aims to understand the psychological processes associated with all aspects and features of human behavior in cyberspace. Cyberpsychology is faced with many challenges, and the impact of social media on mental health and psychological well-being is among them. The article attempts to investigate the influence of social networks on psychological functioning of an individual. While some researchers emphasize the positive impact of social networks on psychological well-being, others are focused on the dangers of cyberspace. Recent study suggests that long-term use of social networking sites may be associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, and low self-esteem. As far as social networks are a relatively new phenomenon, the potential link between their use and mental health and psychological well-being has not yet been properly explored, and the scientific community has not yet been able to fully interpret the results and reach a definite conclusion. The relationship between the use of social networks and psychological functioning is not that simple and unambiguous; it depends on many factors, such as the way to use it, communication patterns, emotional state, comorbidities, self-awareness, motivation, values, attitudes, and preferences. Today, we cannot avoid cyberspace, thus, the health and well-being of both the individual and society depend on our ability to interact effectively within it.
«Poem Should Thrill»: on the Rough Sonnets of Neoclassic Poets in the Context of the Totalitarian Regime
Authors:   NULES of Ukraine, Vakulyk I
Published: December 2021

Abstract. The works of Ukrainian neoclassicists as the representatives of the era of «Executed Renaissance», who left an invaluable heritage and made a tremendous contribution to the enrichment of not only Ukrainian but also world literature, have repeatedly become the subject of scholars’ research. The purpose of the study is to analyze the sonnet as a phenomenon that appeared in the first third of the last century: what caused its «rigidity» and «severity», as well as what is its poetic beauty. Materials and methods of research. This article is based on the analysis of archival materials, letters, memoirs, the press of the twenties («Chervonyi Shliakh», «Nova Hromada», etc.), published and unpublished editions of works by Ukrainian neoclassicists. The severity of life dictated its own rules, its own style and its own norms. Sonnets of Ukrainian neoclassicists were also rigit or «strict». Comparative-historical and descriptive methods are used in the work. Discussion. The representatives of the informal society «neoclassicism», which was formed in Ukraine in the 20s of the 20th century, professed an aesthetic concept of spiritual renewal of the writer’s consciousness and the nation in general, disciplined the cardiocentric element of the «executed Renaissance» generation of artists, combining the Dionysian tradition with the Apollonian culture. The aesthetic platform that united the neoclassicists was the love to the word, to the strict form, to the great heritage of the world literature. They realized the sonnet as a «strict style», as a «severe» form. Ukrainian neoclassicists set the task of creating a «great style of Ukrainian literature» based on Greco-Roman antiquity and European Parnassians; hence there is a cult of strict classical forms (sonnet, octave, Alexandrine verse, elegiac distich). When Ukrainian neoclassicists spoke, they did not declaim ideological and aesthetic manifestos. Ukrainian neoclassicists, in contrast to the Russian ones, were distinguished by greater creative conservatism: if the latter put Pushkin as a role model, the first were oriented towards Greco-Roman antiquity and French Parnassians (the first edition of Ukrainian neoclassicism was «The Anthology of Roman Poetry» by M. Zerov, 1920), strictly adhered to canonical classical forms. Conclusions. The genre canon of the sonnet implies conceptuality that must be realized through a certain compositional rhythm according to the universal scheme: thesis – antithesis – synthesis. Such scheme of the sonnet dramatic line development «tells» the poet the most general direction in the development of thought, mood, and contemplation. The sonnet allows to resolve contradictions. Consequently, it is a balance between the stable and the variable, a dialogue with yourself, with the world; this is the beauty of dramatic trembles of poetic content. Finally, this is a distinctive stylistic thinking which attracts primarily the poets of the rationalist mindset.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. The article focuses on analyzes of the translation of international legal discourse applying the transformational model of translation analysis and the model involving tertium comparacionis - the language-mediator as a standard for comparing the original and target texts. The aim of the article is to highlight the peculiarities of the application of the transformation model and the model of the reference set of features for translation analysis of international legal discourse. The article used a complex research methodology involving methods of translation analysis, componential analysis, structural transformational analysis, as well as the elements of comparative method and text-interpretive analysis. The study reached the following conclusions. First, the transformation of nuclear structures of the English original text into surface text structures of the Ukrainian translation, carried out in accordance with the three-stage model of transformational analysis, shows the need to reproduce in Ukrainian translation conditional relations implied in the form of explanatory or attributive meanings. It is found that none of the obtained transformational structures completely coincides with the official translation into Ukrainian. In addition, the Ukrainian translation omits the modal verb of obligation shall, which is present in the English original text, so that the fragment of the translation loses the connotations of imperative modality, which does not correspond to the style of the translated text. The application of the translation analysis model related to the identification of the reference set of features for the original and target texts showed the presence of both common and different features from the reference set. The difference in the text of the translation is revealed by such allomorphic features as (a) "object of action in the singular", in contrast to the original fragment with the object of action in the plural, (b) change from modality of possibility to epistemic modality with verb in the present tense, as well as (c) implicated condition relations in the target Ukrainian text, in contrast to the explicit expression of the condition of the text of the original.
