Published: December 2024

Os apontamentos apresentados neste artigo são decorrentes da pesquisa de doutorado intitulada Um inventário arquivístico do Ciclo do Marabaixo: Vestígios de resistência da cultura Afro-amapaense, que fora desenvolvida, ao longo dos anos de 2020 a 2024, no Programa de Pós-graduação em Ensino da Universidade do Vale do Taquari - Univates/RS, com o apoio da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior- Brasil (CAPES) e junto ao Grupo de Pesquisa Currículo, Espaço, Movimento (CEM/CNPq/Univates). O recorte da pesquisa, proposto aqui, diz respeito ao acervo fotográfico do Ciclo do Marabaixo, patrimônio imaterial da cultura do Estado do Amapá, o qual foi investigado por meio de um trabalho arquivístico que envolveu a montagem e a remontagem dos arquivos pesquisados. Desse modo, a investigação toma como procedimento metodológico o arquivo a partir de Michel Foucault (2008), o qual se caracteriza como um conjunto de regras que permite o aparecimento, a ativação e o apagamento de discursos, cujos ecos prolongam-se até o presente. Diante de tal procedimento, verificou-se que os arquivos do Ciclo do Marabaixo são fontes potentes para os estudos arquivísticos, como também para estudos dos saberes culturais afro-amapaenses nos espaços escolares no estado do Amapá.

A Critique of Anthropocentrism in the Evaluation(s) of Artificial Creativity
Authors: Krašovec Primož
Published: December 2024

This article presents a critique of anthropocentrism in certain theoretical evaluation(s) of artificial creativity as a type of creativity exhibited by artificial intelligence (AI). By anthropocentrism, we mean the positing of human intelligence as a norm, in relation to which any different exercise in intellect can only be seen as a deviation and a sign of inferiority. We were able to identify several problems with regard to such an understanding of AI and its creativity: 1) it is unethical in the sense that it precludes any recognition of AI as other intelligence; 2) it stems from the misconception that human intelligence is fully transparent to us and that we have full access to the processes generating our own intelligence; 3) it results in a narrow and reductionist view of AI that misunderstands AI and overlooks most of its creative potential(s); 4) it is also incorrect with respect to human intelligence and creative processes. The article consists of three main sections. The first one attempts to demystify a deceptively clear (self) understanding of human intelligence, which we analyse as a form of fetishism – since the only thing to which we have immediate access are the products of our intelligence, we tend to fetishise them due to our lack of access to the processes generating them. The second section is a critique of anthropocentrism as an attempt to use such a misleading impression of human intelligence as a norm for AI. The third section presents a more open and inclusive analysis of large language models (LLMs) that is also more appreciative of their creativity, as opposed to the common dismissive reactions they provoke in the fields of literature and humanities.
Alpenwelt – entdecken und erleben
Authors: Peternel Marija Mojca
Published: December 2024

Der vorliegende Beitrag beleuchtet die Hintergründe der Entstehung des Deutschen und Oesterreichischen Alpenvereins (DuOeAV), seine Struktur und Tätigkeiten und gibt einen kurzen Überblick über seine Sektionen auf die mit Slowenen besiedelten Gebiete. Er deckte nicht nur einen großen Teil des heutigen europäischen Raumes ab und hinterließ tiefe Spuren in der Alpenwelt. Der Verein, der aus dem Wunsch heraus gegründet wurde, die Alpenwelt den Menschen so nahe wie möglich zu bringen, blieb zumindest bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg dieser “alpinen” Sache treu. Der Anschluss Österreichs an Deutschland im Jahr 1938 dagegen führte zu seiner Umbenennung in Deutschen Alpenverein, was auch der Anfang vom Ende des Vereins und einen endgültigen Bruch mit diesem Standpunkt war. Seitdem diente er als Instrument der großdeutschen Politik zur Unterstützung der nationalsozialistischen Ideologie. Der Beitrag basiert auf einem Studium der Quellen des Vereins, insbesondere ihres wichtigsten Mitteilungsblattes Mitteilungen des Deutschen und Oesterreichischen Alpenvereins und der Zeitungen jener Zeit. In diesem Zusammenhang sind vor allem die lokalen Zeitungen zu erwähnen, insbesondere die des damaligen slowenischen Raumes.

In the last decade a number of serial sources were processed by several research groups separately for the Medieval, Ottoman and Early Modern periods in Hungary. However, the structure of these allow them both to be integrated to each other and be visualized on maps with the aid of GIS-techniques. The character of these integrated databases thus allow researchers (1) to map and investigate territorial patterns, regional inequalities of different scale, (2) the temporal changes in territorial patterns and (3) to run multivariate statistics on bulk data. The success of the GISta Hungarorum in Hungary (www.gistory.hu, http://gistahungarorum.abtk.hu ) drove the different research groups to unify their forces and create a longue-durée, fine-resolution (settlement or parish-level) database for the Kingdom of Hungary (1330-2010) in order to analyze history from a different perspective and to help regional planning by assessing path dependency, drawing optimal landuse, etc. Furthermore, broadening the cooperation the investigation area was extended to Croatia for several time horizons to be processed in the future with the aid of Croatian colleagues involved in Hungarian projects (1330, 1500, Ottoman period, 1780s). This article of methodological focus introduces the first results of the joint work on Croatian examples – with the aim of giving a new perspective in historical geography and historical statistics.

Published: December 2024

Neste trabalho, desenvolvemos um estudo a respeito da relação obrigacional existente, no âmbito do Direito Tributário, entre o Estado e os contribuintes, responsáveis pelo adimplemento da obrigação principal, referente ao pagamento os tributos, e pelo cumprimento das obrigações acessórias delas decorrente. O referencial teórico enfatizou os conceitos de obrigação principal e acessória e identificou que o não cumprimento dessas obrigações faz surgir uma nova relação jurídica, em que o sujeito ativo pode atuar de forma coativa para obrigar o sujeito passivo a cumprir a prestação, por meio da aplicação de sanções tributárias. A abordagem de estudo destacou que esta última relação diferencia-se da primeira, pois a hipótese é de um ato ilícito. O estudo foi desenvolvido por meio de pesquisa legislativa e doutrinária para, ao final, concluirmos que as sanções tributárias, por intervirem nas liberdades e na propriedade dos cidadãos, estão sujeitas às limitações ao poder de tributar, notadamente em relação ao princípio da legalidade, proteção da confiança, certeza, determinação e, consequentemente, fortalecem a segurança jurídica.

Published: December 2024

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) plants have high economic value and require optimal water management to support growth and production. This study aims to analyze the effects of deficit irrigation on water requirements, growth, and yield of melon plants. The research was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four levels of deficit irrigation treatments (100%, 80%, 60%, and 40% of field capacity) and six replications. The results showed that 80% deficit irrigation could maintain optimal growth and produce yields equivalent to full irrigation (100%), whereas 60% and 40% deficit irrigation caused significant water stress, hindering growth and reducing yields. Therefore, 80% deficit irrigation is recommended as a water management strategy for melon cultivation, especially in areas with limited water availability. Keywords: Cucumis melo, Deficit Irrigation, Growth, Yield, Water Management.

Epstein Barr Virus-Encoded MicroRNAs’ and CircularRNAs’ Relation with Epstein Barr Virus-Associated Gastric Cancer
Authors: Karmakar Priyam , Roy Abhijeet
Published: December 2024

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpes virus linked to various cancers, including EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBV-aGC). EBV is the first that was identified to produce several kinds of non-coding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) including micro RNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs). In EBV-aGC, EBV encodes several miRNAs that play crucial roles in altering the host’s gene expression to promote tumorigenesis. EBV miRNAs can suppress host immune responses and regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, and metastasis, aiding cancer progression. circRNAs often dysregulated in EBV-aGC, interact with EBV miRNAs by acting as sponges, which modulate the availability of miRNAs to their targets. This interplay between EBV miRNAs and circRNAs contributes to the complexity of underlying mechanisms of EBV-aGC development and progression.
Study of autotransformer bridges for measurements of the impedance parameters
Authors: Kursin Serhii , Velychko Oleh
Published: December 2024

The analysis of the existing impedance measurement methods showed that for the establishment of precision comparators that operate in a wide range of values in the audio frequency range, it is best to use transformer and autotransformer bridges. Autotransformer bridges are used for measurements in a wide range of the impedance values. The use of autotransformer bridges allows reducing the measurement error to 10–7–10–9.
High metrological characteristics of transformer bridge circuits make it possible to use them in commercial devices and precision measuring equipment. Simple autotransformer bridges do not provide the opportunity to measure the impedance parameters in a wide range of values of the tangent of the loss angle (phase shift). For the synthesis of measuring circuits of bridges and their balancing, it is necessary to have a precision quadrature channel that will ensure high accuracy of the transmission coefficient both by phase and by module.
The structures of universal autotransformer comparators and their properties are determined by two main factors: by the method of forming the source of the complex balancing signal and by the types of schemes for replacing the impedances of the compared objects. To determine ways to improve universal precision impedance comparators based on autotransformer bridges, it is necessary to develop and analyze mathematical models of universal comparators.
The conducted theoretical analysis showed that in the process of comparison, it is possible to compare impedances with different substitution schemes with a direct reading of reactive and active parameters. By choosing the appropriate transmission direction, with a simple reconstruction of the measuring circuit, it is possible to compare two impedances with a parallel substitution scheme, two impedances with a series substitution scheme, or two impedances with a different substitution scheme. The obtained results made it possible to implement them in a universal autotransformer-comparator bridge.
Device for calibration of hot air welding machines
Authors: Grudzinsky Serhiy , Odnoralov Volodymyr
Published: December 2024

Plastics hot air welding techniques involve measuring and maintaining certain values of three physical quantities: temperature, clamping force and the dwell time of the product under load.
Technical regulations of the last century do not specify the clamping force value. The value was kept by the mass of the active element of the technology equipment only.
The paper considers the newly developed and studied device for calibration of hot air welding machines by clamping force. The device provides calibration of various types of machines with an operating gap of 13 mm and more.
The calibration device itself was calibrated by the method of loading with standard weights using a special device. The functioning of the controller board adder was also studied, which allowed controlling the clamping force characteristics of hot air welding machines in case of inhomogeneous distribution of force and non-ideal geometric shape of clamping elements.
It is shown that the new device allows controlling one of the main characteristics of hot air welding machines of various designs and manufacturers. The device made it possible to periodically control the actual value of the clamping force of the active element of the machine during the technological process realization.
If in a specific model of the machine the measured value is the pressure in the pneumatic system instead of the clamping force, then during the initial calibration the clamping force against the pressure in the pneumatic system matrixes is generated, and its stability is then controlled.

Published: December 2024

Radiation dosimetry is a key element in medical, industrial, and scientific activities involving the use of ionizing radiation. Accurate measurements of radiation doses ensure the safety and effectiveness of radiological practices, which is critically important for protecting patients during medical procedures, adhering to industrial safety standards, and conducting scientific research. International studies are carried out to achieve this high measurement accuracy.
The National Scientific Centre “Institute of Metrology” (NSC “Institute of Metrology”) actively participates in international projects aimed at improving the accuracy and consistency of radiation dosimetry. These projects unite National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) to standardize measurement and calibration methods, thereby enhancing the systems of ionizing radiation dosimetry.
The relevance of such projects is driven by the widespread use of ionizing radiation in medicine and industry. In medicine, particularly in radiotherapy, accurate dosimetry ensures effective treatment with minimal impact on healthy tissues. In industrial radiography, high-precision dosimetry guarantees compliance with safety standards, reducing the risk of excessive exposure to the radiation for workers.
Within the framework of this international project, involving the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Central Office of Measures (GUM), new calibration protocols for various types of radiation are being developed, traceability chains to ensure measurement accuracy are being established, and best practices are being shared among participants.
To achieve these objectives, preliminary comparisons were conducted among NMIs, with two Institutes acting as reference laboratories. This approach allowed the participants to compare their results with control data and make all necessary adjustments. Such collaboration has fostered knowledge exchange and stimulated the development of new dosimetry techniques, which, in the long term, will enhance the precision and reliability of measurements.
The NSC “Institute of Metrology” participated in the project as Ukraine’s leading institution in the field of ionizing radiation. The results of this collaboration are presented in the paper, specifically focusing on comparisons of ionizing radiation using the 137Cs and 60Co sources. Additionally, within the framework of the project, the comparisons of X-ray beams with radiation qualities N-40, N-100, and N-200 were conducted.
Forecasting the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Ukraine using Markov chains
Authors: Ivanchuk Maria , Ivanchuk Pavlo
Published: December 2024

Diabetes mellitus stands out as one of the non-communicable diseases posing the greatest challenge to healthcare. Projecting the number of individuals affected by diabetes, including those requiring hospitalization, can aid in shaping future healthcare strategies, notably anticipating the necessary quantity of medications and hospital beds for diabetic patients.A predictive model was constructed utilizing the Monte Carlo Markov Chain method, drawing upon statistical data from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine spanning 1993-2022. The model encompassed the following states: healthy, diseased, hospitalized, deceased. Sub-states for children and adults were considered separately. The baseline year was set as 2006, with each Markov chain cycle representing one year. Projections extended to 2035. At the onset of each cycle, the average (over 2006-2017) number of newborns in Ukraine per year augmented the number of healthy children. Death (of a diabetic patient or non-diabetic individual) was regarded as an absorbing state in the Markov chain.According to the constructed predictive model, by 2035, the number of adult diabetic patients is anticipated to rise to 1.7 million, with approximately 200 thousand necessitating hospitalization within the year. The quantity of diabetic children is projected to remain relatively stable.
Model of the cardiovascular system for blood circulation regulation with control elements
Authors: Kulyk Anatoliy , Vasilevskyi Oleksandr , Nikolskyy Aleksandr , Revenok Viktor , Motygin Volodymyr
Published: December 2024

An analysis of existing cardiovascular system models with regulatory loops used for research purposes and disease diagnosis in medicine has been conducted. A dynamic model of the cardiovascular system that accounts for regulatory processes is proposed. The model incorporates one of the key aspects of blood circulation regulation—neural regulation—achieved through the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system stimulates the heart to increase the rate and strength of contractions and causes the constriction of peripheral vessels, thereby raising blood pressure. Conversely, the parasympathetic nervous system decreases the heart rate and promotes vessel dilation, lowering blood pressure. These mechanisms interact closely to maintain stable blood circulation in response to the organism's changing physiological needs. Humoral regulation includes the action of various hormones and bioactive substances circulating in the blood that affect the cardiovascular system, which is also considered in the model. The dynamic component of the regulatory system at the intermediate level (humoral system) in the model simulates the formation of mediators, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, which travel through the blood vessels. The effects of hormones from the intermediate level on the cardiovascular system are sensed by receptors, such as baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, located in the aorta and the pulmonary circulation, among other places. To enhance the model's functionality, the intermediate regulatory level of the humoral system incorporates a Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) system. The KAN network is trained on a knowledge base derived from dozens of acute critical cardiovascular situations. This model can subsequently be used for computer-based prediction and diagnosis of patient diseases and for training medical students.
Şah İsmail Hatâyî’nin Şiirlerinde Dile Gelen İman Esasları Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Keleş Bülent
Published: December 2024

Şah İsmail, Osmanlı-Safevi ilişkileri bağlamında ve taraftarlarının büyük bir kısmının Osmanlı tebaası olması hasebiyle hem tarihi kişiliği hem de dini aidiyeti itibariyle çokça tartışılan bir isimdir. Onun muarızları tarafından tartışmanın merkezine yerleştirilen konuların başında, başta Ehl-i Sünnet mensuplarınca esasları belirlenmiş olan İslam şeriatını ortadan kaldırmak olmak üzere, Hz. Muhammed’in dini otoritesini sarsmak ve Kur’an-ı Kerim’in naslarını hükümsüz kılmak gibi İslam’ın temel iman esasları arasında görülen hususları yok saydığına yönelik suçlamalar yer almaktadır. Onu düşman olarak gören ve ötekileştiren döneminin Osmanlı uleması, onun Anadolu’daki Türkmenlerin akıllarını çelerek kendisine tabi kıldığını ve Şiileştirdiğini ileri sürmektedir. Ayrıca Safeviyye Tarikatının yedinci şeyhi olan Şah İsmail’in, temelde Sünni bir tarikat olan Safeviyye Tarikatını Şia misyonerliği yapan bir yapıya büründürdüğü de iddialar arasındadır. Sünni ulemanın Şii olmakla itham ettiği Şah İsmail, Şiiler tarafından ise kabul görmüş bir isim değildir. Hatta modern dönem Şii yazarlardan Ali Şeriati, onu ve onun önderliğinde kurulan Safevi Devleti’ni, Şiiliği tahrip ederek Hz. Ali etrafında şekillenen gerçek Şia’dan uzaklaştırmakla suçlamaktadır.
Taraftarlarının gözünde ise o bambaşka bir konumdadır. Hatta denilebilir ki, Alevilerin Hz. Ali adına zihinlerinde var olan yiğitlik, bilgelik, cesaret, yardımseverlik vb. niteliklerin tamamı Şah İsmail özelinde kendisine vücut bulmuştur. Aleviler için o, İnsan-ı kâmil bir mürşid olmanın yanı sıra, inancı gelecek kuşaklara taşıyan yol önderlerindendir. Neredeyse her cemde kendisinden bir deyiş okunan Ulu Ozandır. Dolayısıyla onun ne şekilde inandığı üzerinde durulması gereken önemli bir husustur. Zira muarızlarının ona dair ortaya attığı İslam’ın temel inanç esaslarını sarsmak ve Hz. Muhammed’in şeriatını ortadan kaldırmaya çalışmak gibi iddiaların, siyasi kökenli olduğunun anlaşılması, onun inanç algısının araştırılmasıyla mümkün olacaktır. Onun şiirlerinde görünür olan inanç esasları üzerinde durulan makalede, sosyal bilimlerin nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi metodu kullanılmıştır. Hem müellifin farklı araştırmacılarca Latinize edilmiş divanındaki deyişlerinde ön plana çıkan inanç esasları üzerinde durularak hem de konu hakkında yazılmış, kitap, makale, arşiv belgesi vb. dokümanlar içerik analizine tabi tutularak Şah İsmail hakkında ileri sürülen savların karşılığının olup olmadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Bu çerçevede, şiirlerinde vurguladığı iman esaslarının Şii ve Sünni İslam geleneği ile birleşen veya çelişen durumlarına da dikkat çekilmiştir.
Finite Element Analysis of Concrete Gravity Dam
Authors: Aydin Tuba
Published: December 2024

Dams have been structures that have served to meet humanity's water needs for centuries. Because they are large structures, critical investigations must be made before they are built. However, these investigations and scaled or one-to-one modeling of dams have become costly today. At this point, package programs working with finite elements are used functionally. ANSYS package program is also a frequently preferred package program that provides results close to reality. In this study, a 3D dam body modeled with ANSYS was examined. While modeling, the water load acting outside the dam's own weight and the material properties of the dam body were taken into account and analyzed. The dam was modeled in accordance with its exact dimensions without any scaling. This study examines the stress and displacement of a concrete gravity dam under half-filled and fully filled conditions, highlighting significant differences in structural behavior. It was determined that the displacement and stress values found for the full state were higher than the half-full state.
The effect of psychoeducation-based on transtheoretical model on depression in patients with coronary heart disease
Authors: Lindayani Linlin , Yosep Iyus , Purnama Heni , Mutiar Astri , Putri Anisa Dwi
Published: December 2024

Background: Depression is the most common psychological condition among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Although psychoeducational programs (PEPs) based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) have shown promise for psychiatric patients, their application among individuals with medical conditions, particularly cardiovascular disease, remains limited—especially in Indonesia.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a TTM-based PEP intervention in reducing depression among CHD patients.
Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 80 CHD patients hospitalized in the coronary care unit (CCU) of a private hospital in West Java, Indonesia, in 2022. Participants in the intervention group attended seven sessions, each lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Depression symptoms were measured using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). An ANOVA was performed to compare pre- and post-intervention mean HDRS scores and subscale scores between the two groups. After accounting for attrition, the final analysis included data from 76 patients.
Results: The participants had a mean age of 59.39 years (SD = 11.10) and a mean disease duration of 4.05 years (SD = 1.69). A paired t-test showed a significant reduction in the mean HDRS score of the intervention group, from 13.79 ± 2.84 pre-intervention to 10.16 ± 2.16 post-intervention (p < 0.0001). Most HDRS subscale scores also decreased significantly, except for insomnia, somatic/genital symptoms, and weight loss. ANCOVA confirmed significant differences between the two groups in overall HDRS scores.

Higher education, as a centre for research and innovation in the era of transformative learning, is encouraged to conduct research and innovation that can lead to innovation and impact in the areas of health, economy, and sustainability. Innovation requires a framework that functions as an essential guide for development. However, limited innovation frameworks can be applied in nursing, including maternity nursing. This study discusses the M-Motion framework as an alternative framework for developing maternity nursing innovation research. M-Motion comprises of three steps of: pre-innovation, innovation, and post-innovation and it is applied to the Ultralight Project. The project aims to improve pregnancy and fetal health by using the DetectMe device to integrate mothers’ self-monitoring data into online health systems so that the condition of pregnant women and their babies is promptly and accurately monitored. The application of the M-Motion framework to the Ultralight Project is a step in the right direction as it helps in illustrating the sequence between research and innovation, especially as it relates to the acceleration of reducing maternal and fetal mortality rates.
Overcoming the digital divide: A conceptual framework
Authors: Szabó Roland Zsolt
Published: December 2024

The digital divide is one of the biggest challenges of our time. There are significant differences in the digital maturity of individuals, organizations/companies and regions/countries, which increase the inequalities between them and result in a persistent and growing digital divide. The digital divide can be attributed to a number of factors, and its scientific definition is constantly evolving. It was first attributed more to technological factors, such as internet speed. Today, economic and social factors, such as the ability to use technology, are increasingly important, both at the individual, organizational and governmental levels. The causes and opportunities of digital divide are explored through this theoretical paper. Different indicator systems have been developed over the last decades to measure digital divide, and their logic can be used to identify the factors of digital divide and to propose a way to bridge the gap. By creating a conceptual framework, the causes of the digital divide can be grouped into three dimensions; (1) structural, (2) cognitive and (3) motivational. Along these three dimensions, proposals can also be made to overcome the digital divide at individual, organizational/company and regional/country levels.

The challenge of cultivating coffee plants is that the process is still traditional, and the types of coffee that are superior are still limited. Therefore, data collection is needed to determine the potential of coffee plants in developing cultivation. The purpose of this research was to study the diversity and potential of coffee types and the ecological conditions of Gunung Karang coffee valley. The research was conducted from March to June 2024 at Lembur Kopi Citaman Lawang Taji, Sanim Village, Juhut Village, Karang Tanjung District, Pandeglang Regency, Banten. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, and the data obtained from observations and interviews were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods. The results showed that six types of coffee can be cultivated, namely Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, Excelsa, Purpurascen, and Robusta. Menhir coffee had unique flavors and aromas with distinctive flavors of brown sugar, nuts, chocolate, spices, vanilla, and acid. Morphological analysis of the six types of coffee showed the same characteristics in the branching system. The ecological characteristics of coffee plants included altitude criteria of 550-600 masl, pH between 5-8, air temperature 28-29 °C, air humidity between 70%-76%, and humus-dominant soil conditions. These land criteria were categorized as sufficient to meet coffee growth.

The forms of realization, functions and significance of the window motif, which constantly appears in the description of the protagonist’s living space, are examined on the basis of four novels by John Fowles. It is noted that the following properties of this architectural element have a significant status: 1) the possibility or impossibility of seeing something through the window and the visibility level; 2) the natural (sea, river, garden) or urban space outside the window; 3) the open or closed position of the window, i.e., the ability to transmit sounds and smells in addition to light, and to provide tactile sensations from the touch of natural elements. The visual position of the narrator is significant as well. It has been revealed that the described space outside the window often performs a psychological function, and the window becomes a figurative correlate of the perception channels. The window turns out to be a meeting place of consciousness and reality and is associated with the development of the initiation and creativity themes.
