Ancient Music in the Piano Transcriptions by Serhii Yushkevych
Authors: Pidporinova Kateryna 
Published: May 2021

Relevance of the study. A new wave of creative interest in the piano transcription combines the constructive and destructive vectors of the development. In the performing sphere the former stimulate the search for original ways of presenting the personal “I”. The destructive influence is connected with the possible hyperbolization of any artistic ideas. The presented problematic situation determines the relevance of the topic of the article: the transcription legacy of the renowned Kharkiv pianist-pedagogue Serhiy Yushkevych still remains little studied in domestic art history.Main objective of the study. The objective of the research is concluded in comprehending the stylistic dominants of S. Yushkevych’s transcriptional approach.Methodology. The research is based on the principles of an integrated approach that motivates appealing to the genre, stylistic, intonation, structural-functional, compositional-dramaturgical and comparative-interpretative methods of analysis. The biographical method is used to provide additional important informational data
Results and conclusions. Transcriptions demonstrate not only the aesthetic preferences and stylistic guidelines of a particular era (according to B. Borodin), but also the individual performing and interpreting tendencies of the transcriptor himself. This allows considering transcriptions as the key to understanding a musician’s artistic credo. S. Yushkevych’s transcriptional interests include the works of composers of the Baroque and Romantic eras, Soviet-era music, and Ukrainian folklore; he is attracted by various samples of orchestral, organ-harpsichord and vocal music. The transcriptions of the “Badinerie” collection can be divided into three groups: 1) ancient music; 2) the compositions which in the original are intended for the voice with accompaniment; 3) Ukrainian music. A significant role in understanding the creative search is played by the interpretation of Yushkevych-pianist.The specificity of the transcriptional style of the Kharkiv maestro lies in the ability to create the “sound op-art” with the help of typical formulas of piano technique (similar to the op-art by V. Vasarely). This is reflected in his own system of means of expression, the specifics of the texture and register distribution of the artistic material, the use of polyphony as a technique of additional ornament, the embodiment of various acoustic effects and more. This creates a different type of the pianosound relief. The stylistic features of S. Yushkevych’s transcript handwriting are: the special register framing of the composition, the multi-layered nature of piano texture, the openness to timbre orchestration, the use of quartet writing peculiarities, the tessitura fragmentation of thematic complex, the intonation-motive detailing of musical fabric and a significant freedom from the author’s remarks. The pianism itself is the main “factor of influence” and is a representative of the individual style.

Мета дослідження. Виявити та описати способи вербалізації феномену концептуальної метафори СПОРТ – ВІЙНА у матеріалі спортивних ресурсів ЗМІ, а також визначити особливості її функціонування.
Методи. За допомогою лінгвокогнітивного та кількісного аналізів репрезентативної вибірки китайськомовних текстів спортивного дискурсу, домінантним концептом яких був СПОРТ, була визначена наступна система метафоричних моделей: СПОРТ – ВІЙНА, СПОРТ – ТЕАТР, СПОРТ – СІМ’Я, СПОРТ – ЖИТТЄВИЙ ШЛЯХ. Частка спортивної лексики, яка пов’язана з концептуальною метафоризацією загалом, складає 22.0%, в рамках яких найбільший відсоток (17.5%) припадає на метафоричну модель СПОРТ – ВІЙНА. Основним методом емпіричного дослідження метафоричної моделі СПОРТ – ВІЙНА було обрано метод метафоричного моделювання. Увагу акцентовано на визначенні основних моделей концептуальної спортивної метафори, які мають фреймово-слотову структуру, та виявлено мовні засоби їх відтворення.
Результати. Вивчено структуро-семантичні властивості спортивної метафори, джерелом експансії якої є поняттєва сфера ВІЙНА. Здійснено структурний аналіз фреймів, в яких спортивні події та їх учасники представлено як воїнів на полі бою, що прагнуть перемоги, які є метафоричним переосмисленням безапеляційної жаги до перемоги. З’ясовано, що метафорична модель СПОРТ – ВІЙНА в китаємовному спортивному дискурсі представлена трьома основними фреймами: «Військові дії», «Результати війни», «Воїни». У межах кожного фрейму виділено основні слоти та описано їх лексичне наповнення. Визначено комунікативні функції метафоричної моделі СПОРТ – ВІЙНА в китаємовному спортивному дискурсі, а також з’ясовано причини її активізації.
Висновки. Фреймово-слотова структура метафоричної моделі СПОРТ – ВІЙНА, представлена в китаємовному медійному дискурсі, відображає стійке бажання та волю до перемоги та абсолютне несприйняття поразки, і свідчить про активізацію використання досліджуваної метафоричної моделі в період зростання глобальної гегемонії Китаю. З’ясовано, що в об’єктивації концептів поняттєвої сфери СПОРТ для відображення перемоги китайських гравців переважають позитивно-оцінні метафори військових дій, її учасників та результатів протистояння, а негативно-оцінні метафори – при поразці супротивників. Не зважаючи на те, що спортивні змагання – це подія мирного характеру, однак такі екстралінгвістичні характеристики як боротьба на межі людської витривалості, емоційне протистояння, максимальна самовідданість заради перемоги – це причини того, що саме у військових термінах переважно окреслюються спортивні події. Відтак, феномен метафоричної концептуалізації ВІЙНИ у китайському спортивному дискурсі є беззаперечним і визначається паралінгвістичними особливостями військових дій та спортивних змагань, які, не зважаючи на візуальну відмінність, мають певну концептуальну схожість

The article examines the role of independent work in modern higher education institutions. It is defined that nowadays the independent work role is growing, in the process of which students gain new knowledge, skills, and abilities and gain creative experience. Independent study should contribute to the acquisition of skills to learn, self-develop, creatively apply the acquired knowledge and adapt to teaching. The specifics of the pedagogical educational institution students' independent work organization as an effective means of raising the level of knowledge and consolidation of practical skills in the study of the discipline “Second Slavic language” are considered. The main ways of forming students' motivation to work independently are determined. Among them are: •	Taking into account the interests of students. •	Use of interactive methods. •	Selection of creative, problem-solving tasks. •	The ability to choose the topic by students themselves. •	Professional orientation of functions. •	Providing opportunities to demonstrate their skills and others. The hours' ratio devoted to independent processing of material and hours for classroom work is analyzed. Practical methods and forms of organization of independent work of students are offered. Approximate topics of individual work and a system of linguistic exercises aimed at working on specific topics and consolidating the material are determined. The article notes that immense value in the course study is given to independent creative work, which activates the search activities of students of philology, promotes the development of thinking, strengthens memory, and expands analytical thinking. The conclusions state that in the conditions of education caused by the global pandemic, the role of students' independent work has sharply increased. This type of work is gradually becoming a leader in the organization of the educational process. Independent work should be organized so that each student's personality develops, as the primary function of independent work is the formation of a well-cultured personality. Key words: classroom work, independent work, higher education institution, educational process organization, students’ motivation.
Rural (land) community as an element of intangible cultural heritage: historical retrospection
Authors: Kalinichenko V. V. 
Published: May 2021

The historical development of the traditional peasant institute of self­government of the rural (land) community is studied, it was proved that it can be considered a manifestation of intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine.
The purpose of the paper is to explore the historical development of the peasant land, self­governing, social institution — rural (land) community; prove that the rural (land) community can be considered a manifestation of intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine.
Research methodology. The methodological basis of the study are the principles of historicism, objectivity, systematicity of scientific analysis and synthesis. The objectivity in the study is evident in identifying potential opportunities for the development of the agricultural sector of the economy. The principle of historicism provides a look at the activities of the rural (land) community as a process that developed in time in the set of historical relationships and interdependences. The study used general science and special historical methods that correspond to historical analysis. Analysis of historiography has determined the use of analysis, synthesis, generalization, classification. Methods of analysis, typology, classification, systematization were used in the study of protocols of the general meeting of land communities, letters and complaints to the authorities.
Results. Rural (land) community has evolved under the influence of both external factors and internal ones, associated with the peculiarities of the development of the peasant “world”. Rural (land) community — a naturally created or historically developed local neighboring socio­economic, political, ideological, domestic association of peasants and their households, created in order to serve and meet their own needs and interests as co­owners of land, pastures, water, etc.; it is social organization of peasant households (individual producers), combining a system of neighboring and family ties, relations, traditions; it is a social organism associated with the traditional form of resettlement, democratic system of governance, self­government and regulation of land, economic, domestic, social and other relationships of its members; it is an element of intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine.
Novelty. For the first time, the rural (land) community is regarded as an element of intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine.
The practical significance. The rural (land) community, as an element of intangible cultural heritage, can become an object of environmental museumification.
Verbal Texts of Composers as a Prerequisite For Musicological Research of the Style Phenomenon of “New Simplicity”
Authors: Ovsiannikova-Trel О. A. 
Published: May 2021

The aim of the article is to determine the theoretical value of verbal composer’s texts for musical research of the style phenomenon of “new simplicity” as an actual direction of composer’s practice at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries.
The research methodology lies in the complex use of the musical-historical and cultural approach to the musical art of our time and individual composer’s styles, the systemic, structural-functional method and comparative studies in the study of verbal composer’s texts.
Results. The main place of development of the composer’s reflections on the ideological-philo-sophical, artistic-aesthetic and linguistic-stylistic features of the “new simplicity” is the space of chamber communication (numerous interviews and conversations that exist both orally and in writing), which captures immediacy of the author’s statement and preserves its vivid intonation. Exceptional cases of the existence of the author’s voice in “large form” are represented by the verbal work of V. Martynov — the author of famous studies of modern music, which were understood as conceptual principles of composition in modern music culture in a broad semantic context that arises at the intersection of musicology, sociology and philosophy. In each of these areas of composer’s verbal self-representation we can find thoughts and concepts that are directly related to the phenomenon of “new simplicity”, the meaning of which is built as a result of deep personal understanding of the essence of musical art by each composer.
Scientific novelty refers to the theoretical development of the style concept of “new simplicity” on the material of verbal composer’s discourse as a premise of musicological research.
The practical significance lies in the use of research materials in special courses in musical-historical and musical-theoretical disciplines in higher educational institutions, as well as in musical performing practice.

OBJECTIVE
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a complication linked to increased costs and length of hospital stay. Prevention of SSI is important to reduce its burden on individual patients and the healthcare system. The authors aimed to assess the efficacy of preoperative chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) showers on SSI rates following cranial surgery.

METHODS
In November 2013, a preoperative CHG shower protocol was implemented at the authors’ institution. A total of 3126 surgical procedures were analyzed, encompassing a time frame from April 2012 to April 2016. Cohorts before and after implementation of the CHG shower protocol were evaluated for differences in SSI rates.

RESULTS
The overall SSI rate was 0.6%. No significant differences (p = 0.11) were observed between the rate of SSI of the 892 patients in the preimplementation cohort (0.2%) and that of the 2234 patients in the postimplementation cohort (0.8%). Following multivariable analysis, implementation of preoperative CHG showers was not associated with decreased SSI (adjusted OR 2.96, 95% CI 0.67–13.1; p = 0.15).

CONCLUSIONS
This is the largest study, according to sample size, to examine the association between CHG showers and SSI following craniotomy. CHG showers did not significantly alter the risk of SSI after a cranial procedure.
Perioperative prophylactic middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma: a series of 44 cases
Authors: Schwarz Justin , Carnevale Joseph A. , Goldberg Jacob L. , Ramos Alexander D. , Link Thomas W. , Knopman Jared 
Published: May 2021

OBJECTIVE
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common and challenging pathology to treat due to both the historically high recurrence rate following surgical evacuation and the medical comorbidities inherent in the aging patient population that it primarily affects. Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has shown promise in the treatment of cSDHs, most convincingly to avoid surgical evacuation in relatively asymptomatic patients. Symptomatic patients requiring surgical evacuation may also benefit from perioperative MMA embolization to prevent cSDH recurrence. The goal of this study was to determine the utility of perioperative MMA embolization for symptomatic cSDH requiring surgical evacuation and to assess if there is a decrease in the cSDH recurrence rate compared to historical recurrence rates following surgical evacuation alone.

METHODS
Symptomatic cSDHs were evacuated using a subdural evacuating port system (SEPS) with 5-mm twist-drill craniostomy in an intensive care unit or by performing a craniotomy in the operating room, using either a small (silver dollar, < 4 cm) or large (≥ 4 cm) craniotomy. MMA embolization was performed perioperatively using angiography, selective catheterization of the MMA, and infusion of polyvinyl particles. Outcomes were assessed clinically and radiographically with interval head CT imaging.

RESULTS
There were 44 symptomatic cSDHs in 41 patients, with 3 patients presenting with bilateral symptomatic cSDH. All cSDHs were evacuated using an SEPS (n = 18), a silver-dollar craniotomy (n = 16), or a large craniotomy (n = 10). Prophylactic MMA embolization was performed successfully in all cSDHs soon after surgical evacuation. There were no deaths and no procedural complications. There was an overall reduction of greater than 50% or resolution of cSDH in 40/44 (90.9%) cases, regardless of the evacuation procedure used. Of the 44 prophylactic cases, there were 2 (4.5%) cases of cSDH recurrence that required repeat surgical evacuation at the 1-year follow-up. These 2 cSDHs were initially evacuated using an SEPS and subsequently required a craniotomy, thereby representing an overall 4.5% recurrence rate of treated cSDH requiring repeat evacuation. Most notably, of the 26 patients who underwent surgical evacuation with a craniotomy followed by MMA embolization, none had cSDH recurrence requiring repeat intervention.

CONCLUSIONS
Perioperative prophylactic MMA embolization in the setting of surgical evacuation, via either craniotomy or SEPS, may help to lower the recurrence rate of cSDH.
Safety of lateral access to the concave side for adult spinal deformity
Authors: Wewel Joshua T. , Ozpinar Alp , Walker Corey T. , Okonkwo David O. , Kanter Adam S. , Uribe Juan S. 
Published: May 2021

OBJECTIVE
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques, particularly lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), have become increasingly popular for adult spinal deformity (ASD) correction. Much discussion has been had regarding theoretical and clinical advantages to addressing coronal curvature from the convex versus concave side of the curve. In this study, the authors aimed to broadly evaluate the clinical outcomes of addressing ASD with circumferential MIS (cMIS) techniques while accessing the lumbar coronal curvature from the concave side.

METHODS
A multi-institution, retrospective chart and radiographic review was performed for all ASD patients with at least a 10° curvature, as defined by the Scoliosis Research Society, who underwent cMIS correction. The data collected included convex versus concave access to the coronal curve, durable or sensory femoral nerve injury lasting longer than 6 weeks, vascular injury, visceral injury, and any additional major complication, with at least a 2-year follow-up. Neither health-related quality-of-life metrics nor spinopelvic parameters were included within the scope of this study.

RESULTS
A total of 152 patients with ASD treated with cMIS correction via lateral access were identified and analyzed. Of these, 126 (82.9%) were approached from the concave side and 26 (17.1%) were approached from the convex side. In the concave group, 1 (0.8%) motor and 4 (3.2%) sensory deficit cases remained at 6 weeks after the operation. No vascular, visceral, or catastrophic intraoperative injuries were encountered in the concave group. Of the 26 patients in the convex group, 2 (7.7%) experienced motor deficits lasting longer than 6 weeks and 5 (19.2%) had lower-extremity sensory deficits.

CONCLUSIONS
It has been reported that lateral access to the convex side is associated with similar clinical and radiographic outcomes with fewer complications when compared with access to the concave side. Advantages to approaching the lumbar spine from the concave side include using one incision to access multiple levels, breaking the operative table to assist with curvature correction, easier access to the L4–5 disc space, the ability to release the contracted side, and, often, avoidance of the need to access or traverse the thoracic cavity. This study illustrates the largest reported cohort of concave access for cMIS scoliosis correction; few postoperative sensory and motor deficits were found.
Patient factors that matter in predicting spine surgery outcomes: a machine learning approach
Authors: Finkelstein Joel A. , Stark Roland B. , Lee James , Schwartz Carolyn E. 
Published: May 2021

OBJECTIVE
There is an increasing recognition of the importance of predictive analytics in spine surgery. This, along with the addition of personalized treatment, can optimize treatment outcomes. The goal of this study was to examine the value of clinical, demographic, expectation, and cognitive appraisal variables in predicting outcomes after surgery.

METHODS
This prospective longitudinal cohort study followed adult patients undergoing spinal decompression and/or fusion surgery for degenerative spinal conditions. The authors focused on predicting the numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain, based on past research finding it to be the most responsive of the spine patient-reported outcomes. Clinical data included type of surgery, adverse events, comorbidities, and use of pain medications. Demographics included age, sex, employment status, education, and smoking status. Data on expectations related to pain relief, ability to do household and exercise/recreational activities without pain, preventing future disability, and sleeping comfort. Appraisal items addressed 22 cognitive processes related to quality of life (QOL). LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) and bootstrapping tested predictors hierarchically to determine effective predictive subsets at approximately 10 months postsurgery, based on data either at baseline (model 1) or at approximately 3 months (model 2).

RESULTS
The sample included 122 patients (mean age 61 years, with 53% being female). For model 1, analysis revealed better outcomes with patients expecting to be able to exercise or do recreational activities, focusing on recent events, and not focusing on how others see them (mean bootstrapped R2 [R2boot] = 0.12). For model 2, better outcomes were predicted by expecting symptom relief, focusing on the positive and on one’s spinal condition (mean R2boot = 0.38). Bootstrapped analyses documented the stability of parameter estimates despite the small sample.

CONCLUSIONS
Nearly 40% of the variance in spine outcomes was accounted for by cognitive factors, after adjusting for clinical and demographic factors. Different expectations and appraisal processes played a role in long- versus short-range predictions, suggesting that cognitive adaptation is important and relevant to pain relief outcomes after spine surgery. These results underscore the importance of addressing how people think about QOL and surgery outcomes to maximize the benefits of surgery.
