The teaching generally refers to the curriculum that is applied to the school. Teachers are not yet able to develop their own teaching materials. Learning given to children at a young age is focuses on the direction of physical growth and development, language, intellectual, social, emotional, and all intelligence. The problem is that in the learning process it generally reveals only one - way materials by a teacher or teacher center, and the lecture study model. Where the child just sat listening while the teacher explained. Learning is more meaningful if the learning process is carried out experiental learning - that children do tightening in learning. In playing teachers need a manual on a game scenario to be given to learners. The purpose of this study to describe a design for material development a fun outbound game in search of treasure. The method used in this study is educational design research (edr). Data collection techniques interviews, documentation, and expert validation. Data subjects obtained from TK PGRI Lendrasari group b teacher, and validation by the expert validator. Expert validation becomes the product revision. Then the lesson would be a fun outbound book guide for a treasure in the early childhood. Bahan ajar pada umumnya mengacu pada kurikulum yang diterapkan di Sekolah. Guru belum mampu mengembangkan bahan ajar sendiri, guru masih berpacu pada satu bahan ajar yaitu kurikulum 2013. Pembelajaran yang diberikan kepada anak usia dini bukan berorientasi pada akademis saja, melainkan menitik beratkan kepada arah pertumbuhan dan perkembangan fisik, bahasa, intelektual, sosial, emosi serta seluruh kecerdasan. Permasalahan yang terjadi yaitu dalam proses pembelajaran yang dilakukan di dalam kelas, pada umumnya hanya mengungkapkan materi- materi satu arah oleh guru atau teacher center, dan model pembelajaran ceramah. Dimana anak hanya duduk mendengarkan ketika guru menjelaskan. Pembelajaran akan lebih bermakna jika proses pembelajaran dilakukan secara experiental learning yaitu anak melakukan pengindraan dalam belajar. Hampir semua aktivitas yang dilakukan oleh anak adalah bermain. Dalam bermain guru memerlukan buku panduan mengenai skenario permainan yang akan diberikan kepada anak didik. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mendeskripsikan rancangan desain pengembangan bahan ajar  permainan Fun Outbound mencari harta karun.

Hasil validasi ahli menjadi bahan revisi produk. Dengan demikian kesimpulannya Bahan ajar berupa buku panduan permainan Fun Outbound mencari harta karun di PAUD layak digunakan.
Introduction to the Thematic Issue of the Siberian Federal University Journal, the Humanities series, in the “History and Theory of Art” Research Field
Authors: Koptseva Natalia P.
Published: August 2020

The introduction precedes the publication of the results of scientific research in the field of history and theory of art, as well as in the field of the most important conceptual problems of modern humanities and social sciences. The major current problems in the field of world and Russian art are considered, the main trends in the development of modern humanities and social sciences are determined. The introduction presents a theoretical position that should reveal the methodological approaches to the analysis of works of visual and musical art. The research is based on the basic principles of the modern theory of art, which states that a work of art is always the result of complex interaction in two forms: 1) the result of an interaction of an artist (master) and an art material; 2) the result of the interaction of a work of art as a material thing and a recipient (viewer, listener). The task of an art historian is to become an intermediary between the recipient and the work of art. This mediation in world philosophy is called maieutics. The maieutic function of the humanities and social sciences is revealed in all the studies, the results of which are published in this thematic issue
Architectural Curvilinearity – Analysis of the Harbin Opera House Structural Solutions
Authors: Kirichkov Igor V.
Published: August 2020

Curvilinear architecture has a rapid development in many countries of the world. This research article briefly describes the methods for forming curvilinear building structures indicating its advantages and disadvantages. It analyses the structural solutions of one of the most unique works of contemporary architecture – Harbin Opera House, designed by the Chinese architect Ma Yansong. After more than five years of research, the result shows that the level of technical skills, particularly relating to the construction of complex, unique objects, unfortunately, is still low. Huge opportunities for creating curvilinear architecture forms were not used. The traditional approach to the architectural design, including contemporary form creation methods, is absolutely wrong. The curvilinear architecture, as any other, requires development of its own, individual structural solutions
Opera Dilogy der Beglückte Florindo (“Florindo Made Happy”) and Die Verwandelte Daphne (“Daphne Metamorphosed”) by G.F. Handel / Problem of Plot Formation
Authors: Kosheleva Maria A.
Published: August 2020

In line with the interest of domestic researchers in libretto of vintage operas and Baroque music theatre, this article turns over a new leaf of the G.F. Handel’s operas of his early period, and also puts them into the context of the performance traditions of the Hamburg State Opera at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. Der beglückte Florindo (“Florindo made happy”) and Die verwandelte Daphne (“Daphne metamorphosed”) are the operas, which were performed on the stage of the Hamburg Theatre at the Gänsemarkt square (lit. Geese Market) and became not only the first G.F. Handel’s try on the genre of pastorals, but also a prime example of a Baroque opera dilogy. As the composer’s music sheets have been almost completely lost, the author is focused on the preserved texts of the libretto and sets an objective to identify their specificity in the context of plot formation of a Baroque opera. This article makes an attempt to analyze Handel’s opera dilogy in fine detail. Thus, the author reveals the underlying dramatic conflict between two gods – Phoebus and Cupid, determines the number of pairs of characters involved in the love dramaturgical line and provides schemes depicting their relationships. In addition, there are enlisted key plot motifs such as mutual/unrequited love motif, motif of suffering, death motif, hatred motif, revenge motif and guile motifs. The identification of the role of each of these motifs in the plot contributes to the confirmation of the hypothesis that Handel’s dilogy belongs to the traditional samples of the early 18th century operatic texts, which are distinguished by the complex intrigue, the intricate love relationships of characters, the typical plot and situational schemes
The Development of Arts in the Context of the Stroganovs’ Activity as Ktitors and Art Patrons in the 16th-17th Centuries
Authors: Parfentieva Natalia V. , Parfentiev Nikolai P.
Published: August 2020

The Stroganovs, known in the 16th–17th centuries as merchants, industrialists and landowners, left a deep mark in the history of not only the economy, but also of the culture of Russia. There is the vast scientific literature covering various aspects of the family members’ life, but their ktitor (founder and donator of church building) and art patronage activities of that time were not specifically studied. Only certain aspects were considered in the context of scientific searches in the field of art history. The authors of the article show that primarily the ktitor activity of the Stroganovs was consisted in the construction of numerous parish churches at their own expense during the development of the vast Ural-Pomor lands. This activity acquires great spiritual and cultural significance with the construction of magnificent stone Cathedrals (Sol’vychegodsk, Nizhny Novgorod, etc.), especially the family Blagoveshchensky (Annunciation) Cathedral (1560-1584) in Sol’vychegodsk, in which even a ktitor’s place was arranged. Concerns about providing the churches with everything necessary led to the foundation by the Stroganovs icon painting and book-writing workshops, decorative needlework and silver jewellery making, and the support of the Usol’e (Stroganov) masters of chanting. With a certain degree of conventionality for that time, the Stroganovs can be called not only ktitors, but also patrons of the arts. The theme of patronage of art and culture development by individuals in certain historical periods is often found in world science, but as a rule, on the examples of the Modern Age period. A few works are known about medieval patronage (about European rulers mainly). Therefore, the presented work highlighting the rare theme of patronage in Russia in the late Middle Ages complements the data of this issue at the world level. Thus, the purpose of the researching is to present in a generalized form the phenomenon of the flourishing of arts in the Stroganovs’ possessions precisely in the context of the formation and development of their activity as founders and donators of church building and art patrons in the 16th–17th centuries. This multifaceted activity is interpreted as the basis for the development of arts in the period under review. On the basis of the available scientific data, including one belonging to the authors, as well as with the involvement of new materials, a generalizing analysis of Stroganov masters’ works of art is also presented. The most significant scientific approaches are the complexity and interdisciplinary of the study. The results of solving the posed issue complement the modern scientific knowledge about the ways of development of art and ecclesiastical culture of Russia
Development of the Requiem Genre as a Reflection of Philosophical and Social Ideas About Death
Authors: Seibert Andrey Yu.
Published: August 2020

The article deals with the Requiem genre and its evolution in the context of a philosophical worldview through various historical periods of human development. The basis for this is the periodization proposed by V.V. Mineev, which reflects different attitudes to death in the process of evolution of philosophical and scientific thought. Views of the public consciousness concerning the issues of death resonate not only with philosophical reasoning and scientific works, but also with works of art. In the field of music, this is particularly evident in the genre of Requiem, which produces immediate response to social change. The author traces the transformation of ideas about death from superstitious – fantastic nature to medical justification of death, its treatment and prevention. The Requiem originated within the walls of the Catholic Church as a cult genre, capable of instilling religious fear in parishioners. Over time, it has freed itself from prejudice and gradually accumulated not only the memories of a particular deceased person who, but also the recollections about all mankind. The latter trait manifests itself in a departure from the Latin text and images of the Last Judgment, as well as in introducing secular texts into the spiritual genre
The National and the International in Three Works of Contemporary Chinese Artists
Authors: Sitnikova Aleksandra A.
Published: August 2020

The article formulates and analyses a hypothesis, according to which, thanks to modern postmodern art, a single international visual language was formed in the late 20th – early 21st centuries, and previously mysterious and incomprehensible foundations of national culture became accessible and open at the international level. This concept is considered on the basis of the international popularization of Chinese art, as the Chinese national culture and art remained mysterious for Western audiences for many centuries. The mechanisms of popularizing national culture are disclosed in the article based on an analysis of three works created by famous contemporary Chinese artists – Odyssey by Cai Guoqiang, Coloured Vases by Ai Weiwei and Last Supper by Zeng Fanzhi
The Influence of Creative Societies on the Formation of Art Education in Krasnoyarsk of the Late 19th – Early 20th Centuries
Authors: Stroy Liliia R. , Tsareva Evgeniia S.
Published: August 2020

The article considers the processes that took place in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk in the late 19th – early 20th centuries and were connected with the creation of cultural and educational societies. The principles of historicism and objectivity as well as the systemic approach form the key methodological basis of the research. Their application resulted in reconstruction of cultural and social life of the city and identification of the initiatives related to professional art. The use of unique archival documents and retrospective literature ensured a special focus on the history of the musical societies’ and art associations’ creation, that influenced not only the development of performing culture and exhibition activities in Krasnoyarsk, but also determined the scenario for the art education development in the city. The article concludes that the formation of cultural and educational movement in Siberia (the case of Krasnoyarsk) was discrete and took place several decades later than in Central Russia. At the same time, it was the establishment of creative unions that predetermined the scenario for the formation and development of first urban music schools and drawing classes
The Image of Homeland in the Works by Alphonse Mucha “Madonna of the Lilies”, the Poster for “The Lottery of the Union of Southwest Moravia” and the Poster for “The Slav Epic Exhibition”
Authors: Zamaraeva Yuliya S. , Reznikova Kseniya V. , Seredkina Natalya N.
Published: August 2020

Understanding the specifics of creativity, the features of the artistic method of not a single artist can be achieved without a meaningful analysis of their works. The purpose of this study is to analyse three works by the Czech artist A. Mucha “Madonna of the Lilies”, the Poster for “The Lottery of the Union of Southwest Moravia” and the Poster for “The Slav Epic Exhibition”, to reveal the programmatic content of each of these works, as well as their general artistic idea. The works by A. Mucha were analysed using the method proposed and justified in the field of theory and history of culture by the Russian scientist V.I. Zhukovsky. This technique determined the logic of analysis of the selected works. Such methods as observation, formalisation, analysis, synthesis, analogy, extrapolation and interpretation were applied. The result of a methodical analysis of the three selected works by A. Mucha testifies to the programmatic creativity of the artist, to a single semantic regularity in his works. The key theme uniting all three works being analysed is the theme of divine patronage of the homeland (native land, people). However, the authors draw attention to a number of aspects of visualisation of this topic in each of the works. If the work “Madonna of the Lilies” expresses the idea of patronage in its very initial moment, the moment of faith in patronage coming from above, then in the poster of the lottery divine patronage becomes doubtful. Nevertheless, the analysis of the poster for “the Lottery of the Union of Southwest Moravia” revealed a number of artistic signs indicating the possibility of a revival of faith in patronage. Based on the interpretation of these signs, such conditions for the revival of faith as the lack of fear “to look and see, to fight” were formulated. Confirmation of the idea of revival is expressed in the third analysed work of the artist, i.e. the poster for “The Slav Epic Exhibition”. Methodical analysis allowed us to characterise this work as a statement of fulfilled expectations, prosperity and dawn at the same time. The terms “death, withering, fossil”, which are defined as temporary phenomena, act as a programmatic condition expressed through the artistic signs of the work

Published: August 2020

The phase transformations of the Co lattice are discussed, which determine the anomalous changes in the magnetic properties of chemically deposited Co-P films obtained at various pH values. The coercivity of the Hc films obtained at low pH values exceeds 1 kOe and decreases to several units Oe in the films obtained at high pH values. It is shown that the observed changes in the magnetic properties of Co-P films are caused by the transition of the cobalt crystal lattice to the nanocrystalline state

On Estimation of Bivariate Survival Function from Random Censored Data
Authors: Muradov Rustamjon S.
Published: August 2020

At present there are several approaches to estimate survival functions of vectors of lifetimes. However, some of these estimators are either inconsistent or not fully defined in the range of joint survival functions. Therefore they are not applicable in practice. In this paper three types of estimates of exponential-hazard, product-limit and relative-risk power structures for the bivariate survival function are considered when the number of summands in empirical estimates is replaced with a sequence of Poisson random variables. It is shown that proposed estimates are asymptotically equivalent. Keywords: bivariate survival function, Poisson random variables, empirical estimates

The problem of sepsis and septic shock has recently become more and more actual. In obstetrics and gynaecology, the number of cases of sepsis has more than doubled over the past 10 years. The review examines the clinical forms of septic conditions, risk factors, pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock, the main pathogens of septic conditions. Special attention is paid to neonatal sepsis. The relationship between septic shock and viral infections is considered in the context of the novel coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. Hemostasis abnormalities have been demonstrated in patients with septic shock, including disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The importance of determining the level of ADAMTS-13 to refine the forecast is discussed.
Evolution of Faulting Induced by Deep Fluid Injection, Paradox Valley, Colorado
Authors: Denlinger Roger P. , R. H. O’Connell Daniel
Published: August 2020

High-pressure fluid injection into a subhorizontal confined aquifer at 4.3–4.6 km depth induced >7000 earthquakes between 1991 and 2012 within once seismically quiescent Paradox Valley in Colorado, with magnitudes up to Mw 3.9. Earthquake hypocenters expanded laterally away from the well with time, defining the margins of the aquifer pressurized by injection at the well. Within 5 km of the well, alignment of earthquake hypocenters defines strikes of nine vertical fault zones. Previous studies show that these fault zones predate injection, producing left-stepping offsets in the normal faults of the Wray-Mesa fault system that cradles Paradox Valley. Hypocenters, rakes, and strikes of 2041 well-constrained focal mechanisms show that most injection-related earthquakes occur where these vertical faults intersect the pressurized aquifer. Well-defined focal mechanisms show that this induced seismicity consists of Riedel shear faults at acute angles to the strikes of these fault zones. These small faults develop an anastomosing fault structure of focal planes along each planar fault zone, as fluid injection continues, even as their hypocenters define a single planar fault zone. Failure conditions at each hypocenter are found using a fully coupled poroelastic analysis of stress induced by fluid injection, and this analysis indicates a minimum Coulomb failure condition of 0.1 MPa. This failure condition is primarily a result of aquifer pore-fluid pressurization, as almost all well-located seismicity is within the pressurized aquifer. Reducing the rate of injection and frequent well shutdowns in the second decade nearly eliminated induced seismicity, except very near the well where gradients in pressurization are the largest. Despite these decreases in failure conditions and seismicity, some fault zones continued to produce earthquakes larger than M 3 as injection continued.

Los procesos de transformación que conlleva la urbanización producen cambios en las condiciones ambientales, influyendo en el desarrollo de las plantas que se encuentran en las ciudades. En este estudio se analizó el comportamiento de los rasgos funcionales foliares y de madera para seis especies del arbolado de Bogotá, además de su relación con gradientes de temperatura y urbanización. Se encontró que las especies se distribuyeron en tres grupos funcionales, entre especies adquisitivas, conservativas y otras con características intermedias en la adquisición de recursos; esto mostró que entre las especies plantadas en la ciudad hay una gama de estrategias para el aprovechamiento de los recursos. Las relaciones entre los rasgos y los gradientes mostraron relaciones negativas en su mayoría, estableciendo que el desarrollo de las hojas se ve afectado por incrementos en la temperatura y la urbanización en la ciudad; en cambio, la madera solo se afectó por aumentos en la temperatura, sugiriendo que los rasgos pueden responder con más fuerza a otro grupo de gradientes, ya que las ciudades son un complejo de interacciones entre diferentes condiciones naturales y de efectos artificiales.

La laguna Las Peonías es un refugio para numerosas especies tropicales y una fuente alternativa de agua para la población humana. En este trabajo, se explica la dinámica espaciotemporal de la calidad del agua superficial en la laguna, con base en sus características fisicoquímicas y bacteriológicas. Para ello, se realizaron 16 campañas de recolección de muestras, en 10 sitios de estudio, incluyendo las principales fuentes de agua: cañadas Iragorri y Fénix y caño Araguato (canal de intercambio con el lago de Maracaibo), entre septiembre de 2013 y septiembre de 2016, durante las mareas alta y baja. En general, no se observaron diferencias significativas (p>0,05) para las magnitudes de los 22 parámetros analizados, con respecto al régimen de mareas del lago de Maracaibo. Las concentraciones de materia orgánica (DBO y DQO), nitrógeno total y fósforo total fueron de 0,20-22,88 mg/l; 5,25-2074,07 mg/l; 0,52-17,37 mg/l y 0,75-11,49 mg/l, respectivamente; valores típicos de ecosistemas hipereutróficos. Las densidades de bacterias coliformes totales y fecales se presentaron entre 3,01- 2,40×104 NMP/100 ml; por lo que incumplen los límites permisibles de la normativa venezolana para aguas recreacionales (contacto humano parcial y total). Los aportes de agua a través de la cañada Iragorri y el caño Araguato, determinaron la variabilidad espacial de la calidad de agua, mientras que la dinámica temporal estuvo influenciada por las precipitaciones, fundamentalmente hacia finales del periodo de estudio (agosto y septiembre de 2016). Este trabajo contribuye al entendimiento ecológico del ecosistema, al tiempo que sienta las bases para su recuperación ambiental y el establecimiento de planes de manejo de su recurso hídrico.

Authors: Fatahinia Mahnaz , Mahmoudabadi Ali Zarei , Halvaeizadeh Marzieh , AboualiGalehdari Elham , Kiasat Neda
Published: August 2020

Background and Purpose: Candida glabrata is the second cause of candidiasis. The mortality rate of C. glabrata infections is about 40%; accordingly, it may be life threatening, especially in immunocompromised hosts. Regarding this, the current study was conducted to evaluate the regional patterns of the antifungal susceptibility of clinical C. glabrata isolated from the patients referring to the health centers located in Ahvaz, Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 30 clinical strains of C. glabrata isolates were recovered from different body sites (i.e., vagina, mouth, and urine). Phenotypic characteristics and molecular methods were used to identify the isolates. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing.
Results: Our findings demonstrated that 20%, 80%, and 6.7% of the isolates were resistant to amphotericin B, terbinafine, and posaconazole, respectively, while all the isolates were found to be fluconazole susceptible dose dependent and susceptible to voriconazole and caspofungin.
Conclusion: Our study suggested that voriconazole had high potency against C. glabrata isolates. Consequently, this antifungal agent can be an alternative drug in the treatment of resistant patients. These results can be helpful for the successful treatment of patients in different regions.

Published: August 2020

Background and Purpose: Fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are life-threatening conditions that are frequently misdiagnosed with bacterial and viral CNS infections. Cerebral phaeohyphomycosis is a cerebral infection caused by dematiaceous fungi, especially Cladophialophora bantiana. Very few cases of fungal CNS infection have been reported across the world. High clinical suspicion should be cast for the patients with brain abscess that do not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy.
Case report: We report a case of a 21-year-old male presenting with headache, seizures and weakness in the limbs. Radiological examination revealed multiple brain abscesses. After surgical excision and laboratory evaluation, it was found to be caused by C. bantiana. The patient’s outcome was good with surgical excision and voriconazole therapy.
Conclusion: Brain abscess caused by C. bantiana is on rise, especially in immunocompromised groups. Thus, high clinical suspicion, accurate diagnosis and management are the fundamentals for good prognosis.

Periodontal diseases result in the inflammation of the supporting structures of the teeth, thereby leading to attachment loss and bone loss. One of the main etiological factors responsible for this condition is the presence of subgingival biofilms, comprising microorganisms, namely bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Candida species is one of the fungi reported to be found in periodontal disease which is suggestive of the presence of an association between these variables. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the association of Candida species with periodontal disease and determine the prevalence of these species in the patients affected with this disease. The articles related to the subject of interest were searched in several databases, including the PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus. The search process was accomplished using three keywords, namely ‘‘Candida species’’, ‘‘Chronic periodontitis’’, and ‘‘Gingivitis’’. All the identified studies were comprehensively evaluated for the association of Candida species with periodontal disease. This systematic review included 23 articles, which assessed the prevalence of Candida species in periodontal diseases. The results of 21 studies were indicative of a positive association between Candida species and periodontal diseases. Accordingly, it was concluded that there is a strong association between the presence of Candida species and periodontal diseases.

Background and Purpose: The potential for the invasion of the central nervous system by Cryptococcus species is underscored by the presence of this organism in the blood of immunocompromised individuals. Early adoption of sensitive methods for the diagnosis of Cryptococcus species will reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Regarding this, the aim of the present research was to detect cryptococcal antigen among HIV1- infected individuals in north-central Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on HIV-1 infected individuals accessing care at three health facilities in north-central Nigeria between November 2014 and March 2017. For the purpose of the study, blood samples were collected from 300 HIV1-infected individuals within the age group of 3-65 years. The CD4+ T-cell count was determined, and the samples were analyzed for cryptococcal antigenemia using the methods of lateral flow assay (LFA) and culture technique.
Results: Cryptococcus antigen was detected in 19.67% (59/300) of the patients, and only 25.4% (15/59) of the LFA-positive samples showed Cryptococcus species growth on Sabouraud dextrose agar after 3 days. Furthermore, fungal growth was observed in one of the specimens, which was LFA negative. Additionally, 30 of the 59 LFA-positive patients had cryptococcal antigen in their serum with a CD4+ T-cell count of < 150 cells/mm3.
Conclusion: As the findings of the present study indicated, infection with Cryptococcus species is a problem among HIV-infected patients in the region under study. Therefore, all HIV patients, especially those with a CD4+ T-cell count of < 150 cells/mm3, referring to the HAART clinics in Nigeria, should be screened for cryptococcal antigen.

Heart Sounds are important things in the human body that can deliver information related to the heart condition. However, a recorded signal such as PCG and ECG that getting through Audicor still contain unexpected components or noise while the recording process happens it makes the result data from Audicor cannot directly use to recognize the condition of the heart. This research presents signal processing and data analysis to suppress the noise of the heart sounds that getting while the process of recording data happens. The cleaned heart sound will be processed in feature extraction by using FFT and PCA that capable to produce the feature both of the normal and abnormal heart sounds. For the normal case, we get the data from some healthy volunteers recorded by using Audicor. While the abnormal heart sound we focus to observe the data that contain Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) that getting from a partner hospital.  As a result, feature both normal and abnormal heart sounds can be separated.

In this paper we focus on possibilities of using natural microflora from vineyards to enhance spontaneous fermentation. Obtained yeast isolates, naturally occurring in vineyards, which were previously isolated in 2017 and 2018, were used for inoculation of Hibernal grape must. Spontaneously fermented musts and musts with the yeast isolates from 2017 and 2018 were compared. Basic parameters of the musts (sugar concentration, pH, concentration of titratable acids, concentration of assimilated nitrogen) were analysed studied, and a sensory analysis of the resultant wines was performed. The fermentation with the yeast isolates was quick and smooth. In the spontaneous fermentation lower ethanol production rate was observed at the end of the fermentation process. During the sensory evaluation, fruitiness of the spontaneously fermented batch was lower, but its vegetal characteristic was pronounced. The variant with the yeast isolates from 2017 was described as smooth, and the variant with yeast isolates from 2018 was evaluated as slightly vegetal.
