Natives of Ethnic Ukrainian Lands at the Venice Biennale: Louise Nevelson
Authors: Leontieva Olena 
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the presentation in the projects of the Venice Biennale of 1962 and 2022 of the works of the outstanding American sculptor, assemblage master, L. Nevelson (1899-1988), a native of Pereiaslav, Kyiv region, to consider the specifics of the artist's creative biography from the point of view of the influence of various sociocultural factors on her professional progress. Research methodology. Achieving the goal of the research ensured the application of a set of such methods as art criticism, biographical, historical, and among general scientific methods – observation, generalisation, analysis and synthesis. Scientific novelty. The issue of presentation of L. Nevelson's works in the projects of the Venice Biennale was not previously considered separately in the scientific literature. For the first time, a review and generalisation of three art projects of different years, which exhibited the sculptor's artistic works as part of an international art exhibition, was carried out. Conclusions. The article expands knowledge about the artistic heritage of a prominent artist, introduces her name into the Ukrainian cultural context, emphasising the significance of the sculptor's work for modern world art and culture. L. Nevelson's works presented at the Venice Biennale characterise her as an extraordinary artist, the progenitor of the idea of installation in American art. Her work is not limited to this format, but it is the monumental monochrome assemblages immersed in the plane that brought her true fame. In American art circles, L. Nevelson was as famous as Andy Warhol, she made an important step in the history of art, which due to eternal sexism, when women artists were not taken seriously, did not receive due recognition.
Keywords: Louise Nevelson, Venice Biennale, exhibition, contemporary art, sculpture, installation, assemblage, intercultural dialogue.

The methodology of research is based on an integrative approach in substantiating the process under study, methods of analysis, specification, synthesis, and generalisation. The scientific novelty of the obtained results. The creation of the musical content of a film work is considered as an integrative process that provides: 1. The combination and interpenetration of compositional techniques with musical computer technologies, carried out by one specialist and aimed at creating high-quality musical content for a film work. 2. Constructing the musical material in interconnection with the overall drama and visuals of the film, which meets modern criteria for semantic content and sound quality (its technical and artistic-aesthetic characteristics). Conclusions: 1. The creation of film music content is an integrative process that organically combines musical, creative, and technological components. 2. Musical and creative work on the film soundtrack consists in mastering the compositional technique that ensures the creation of original author's music, compilation and arrangement of the necessary musical material in accordance with the general concept and drama of the film. 3. Modern music computer technology is a necessary tool for film music scoring, the use of which ensures the creation of digital soundtracks, arrangements and original compositions, facilitates the process of creating and adjusting the score in real time, makes it possible to imitate various musical styles.

Archetypes in Ukrainian Choreographic Culture and Folk-Stage Dances
Authors: Karpenko Diana 
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyse archetypes in the choreographic works of Ukrainian folk stage dance as elements of choreographic culture. The research methodology is based on the use of a combination of the source method, which is applied to the study of scientific literature and periodicals regarding archetypes; cultural analysis to reveal the peculiarities of archetypes in P. Virskyi's choreographic works, in particular “Hopak”, “What the Willow Weeps about”, “Hops” and the national ballet “Forest Song” by S. Sergeev); as well as generalising method to update and specify basic information about archetypes and Ukrainian choreographic culture. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the understanding of the archetypes of Ukrainian folk choreographic culture and folk stage dances in the specified performances. Conclusions. The relevance of the study of scientific literature and periodicals related to archetypes is determined: the meaning of the concepts “collective unconscious” and “archetypes” (K. G. Jung); definition of national archetypes such as “Home”, “Field”, “Temple”, “Mother”, “Light”, “Time” (S. Krymskyi) and “philosophy of the heart” (P. Yurkevych, G. Skovoroda, T. Shevchenko); introduction into scientific circulation of the concept of “archetype of national culture” and their varieties (N. Khamitov); generalisation and systematisation of the main archetypes of the Ukrainian mentality (O. Bychkoviak). The embodiment of archetypes: in the folk choreographic culture and their analysis in the ballet master heritage of Pavlo Virsky, “Dolls”, “Oh, under the cherry”, “Zaporozhtsi”, “Chumatsky joys” (L. Kozynko). The embodiment of archetypes has already been analysed in other choreographic productions by P. Virsky, such as “Hopak”, “What the Willow Weeps about”, “Hops” and the national ballet “Forest Song” by S. Sergeev. We can consider “hopak” not only as a dance with the illumination of archetypes in it, but also as an independent archetype: a kind of code of Old Slavic culture (S. Krymskyi), ethnocode (V. Shkorinenko), identification of hopak with a symbol and personification with the whole Ukrainian folk choreographic culture (A. Pidlypska).
Keywords: archetype; dance; Ukrainian folk stage dance; Ukrainian choreographic culture; ballet; ballet master heritage.
Phenomena of Literary and Musical Genre Migration in Ukrainian Piano Art (the Second Half of the XIXth – the First Third of the XXth Century)
Authors: Frait Oksana 
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the work is to highlight the intermedial manifestations of the genre migration from literature to music based on the materials of piano compositions of the Ukrainian authors. Research methodology is based on the principles of comparative studies. In particular, intermedial approach to the study of inter-art language codes in musical compositions with the genre titles connected with the literature interaction has been used. Genological, system-analytical, generalised-typological, and comparative methods have been applied to draw parallels, to find similarities and differences between literary genre connotations and piano interpretations of a ballad, elegy, impromptu, fairy tale, legend, and poem. Scientific novelty of the research lies in an attempt of intermedial analysis of piano compositions with the existing in literature genre definitions by means of semantic-semiotic interferences. The concepts of the “genre migration” have been introduced to the comparative sphere of literary and musical genre halos, sometimes supplemented with programme guidelines, including reliance on specific folklore sources. Conclusions. Migration of the literary genres to the sphere of music is one of the dimensions of intermediality caused by paratexts of inter-artistic dialogues and polylogues in semiotics and semantic plane, as well as in composition-structural aspect. Despite the fact that these interferences are quite conditional, genre paradigm borrowings are the evidence of the direct mutual influence of literature and music, especially on the examples of the genres of ballad and elegy, which represent the genres of the double music-poetic genesis. Comparison with the genre primary basis-“paragon”, paratextual combination of musical genres with the literary ones (etude-legend, sonata-ballad) or with the programme title allow to claim the individualisation of the composer’s interpretation at different levels of the artistic organisation of a piano script. To sum it up, using literary genre models enriched figurative-semantic, stylistic, and spiritually-cognitive resources of Ukrainian piano music.
Keywords: Ukrainian piano art, literary genres (impromptu, fairy-tale, legend, poem), genres of the double music-poetic genesis (ballad, elegy), genre migration, eminent text.
Ukrainian Pop Music of the 1990s: Style Dimensions
Authors: Podunay Yana 
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the research. The study characterises the style processes that took place in Ukrainian pop music in the 1990s. The research methodology involves a combination of historical-cultural, systemic, and musical-analytical methods and approaches that made it possible to determine the style parameters of Ukrainian pop music of the 1990s. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that for the first time the basic features of pop music as a direction of variety music were identified and the work of leading Ukrainian pop performers of the 1990s, representing different style branches of pop music, was analysed. Conclusions. Pop music in all areas of variety music is the most difficult for theoretical understanding, including in determining its style parameters. The identification of pop music with popular music, as well as the insufficient development of style categories in the music of mass genres, makes it difficult to characterise pop music as the leading direction of variety music. The work identifies the basic features of pop music, which include hit music, lyricism in its projections on the theme and musical language, mainstream as an orientation towards the most current musical styles and genres, style neutrality as the most unified representation of a musical style. It is noted that Ukrainian pop performers represent various style branches of pop music, including representatives of “pure” pop music (Irina Bilyk), pop-folk or ethno-pop (Ruslana), traditional pop (Oksana Bilozir) and modernised traditional pop (Olexandr Ponomariov). Ukrainian pop music of the 1990s is distinguished by both style diversity and pronounced national specificity, which distinguishes it from the pop music of other countries.
Keywords: Ukrainian variety song of the 1990s, pop music as a direction of variety music, musical style, hit, pop singer.
Moroccan EFL High School Teachers' Attitudes and Perceptions towards Critical Thinking Skills: Kenitra's Directorate as a Case Study
Authors: RUMCH Mourad , MORCHID Nabil 
Published: December 2023

Critical thinking, as a 21st century skill, has become a pertinent skill in modern education. Critical thinking was first debated by Greek philosophers, namely Plato and Socrates. Moroccan educators believe that critical thinking needs to be included in educational curricula. Within this framework, the aim of this study is to investigate Moroccan EFL teachers’ perceptions and attitudes towards critical thinking skills in Moroccan school. The sample of the study consisted of 25 male and female EFL teachers who filled out an adopted questionnaire in Moroccan public schools, specifically in Kenitra’s directorate in the academic year 2022/2023. This study is categorized within the pragmatic worldview. It adopts a mixed-methods design that implements both quantitative and qualitative techniques to gather and analyse data. This research’s philosophy choice is based on a justified and grounded theory. Quantitative and qualitative data obtained from 55 EFL teachers from different high schools that belong to Kenitra’s directorate have been completely used to investigate and explore EFL teacher’s perceptions and attitudes towards Critical Thinking significance in Moroccan high schools. Findings show that Moroccan teachers perceive critical thinking as of paramount significance in EFL classrooms. Clearly, respondents literally held positive attitudes towards critical thinking skills. Yet, they believe that teachers should receive more training in this regard, and EFL textbooks need to include tasks and activities that stimulate students to learn the core skills of critical thinking. This study has many pedagogical implications, among which are the indoctrination of critical thinking skills in students and the assurance of quality education at the tertiary level.

Exclusión de la Mujer en el Liderazgo y la Participación Empresarial
Authors: Montenegro Diego Ignacio 
Published: December 2023

Las personas constituyen el centro de gravedad de las organizaciones; no son únicamente los procesos o resultados económicos. La búsqueda de un propósito virtuoso, de carácter infinito es permanente, pero a la vez es complicado en una sociedad que se mueve a la “velocidad de la luz” por la convergencia de tecnologías. Entonces, la más importante “palanca” para que este sistema funcione es el liderazgo consciente; el que busca servir sin que, incluso, medie recompensa a cambio y con una visión de trabajo conjunto para conseguir las metas. Sin embargo, en la empresa existen “moldes inmutables” con poca posibilidad de cambio, que excluyen a las mujeres de integrar sus grandes cualidades para la búsqueda de la verdad y el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de las personas, razón de ser de cualquier modelo institucional. A pesar de que el 43% de los colaboradores en las organizaciones afirman que las mujeres líderes hacen un mejor trabajo que los hombres (5%) o que son más compasivas y empáticas (71% contra 50%), un 60% de ejecutivos encuestados en Norteamérica afirma que las mujeres tienen que demostrar más trabajo para probar que están a la altura de los hombres en posiciones estelares o que el 54% sufren directa discriminación de género. En Latinoamérica, apenas un 16% de mujeres en promedio están en posiciones de liderazgo empresarial (13% - 15% en Ecuador) frente al 42% de Noruega. Por lo tanto, la condición actual es tener mujeres cansadas, tristes, sobrepasadas y hartas de los mandatos o exigencias sociales. Además, se sabe que la innovación y adopción de tecnologías son parte del ADN de la cultura de las organizaciones (otro de los componentes críticos), y el panorama no es diferente: el 17% de las colaboradoras trabajando en ciencias, tecnología, ingeniería y matemática en Europa son mujeres, y solamente el 5% ocupan un puesto de liderazgo en funciones relacionadas con la tecnología. Visibilizar esta realidad con datos es un primer paso para poder determinar los sesgos de género que ocurren en las diversas instituciones; y así, lograr conseguir una superior competitividad con una mejor estrategia; por ejemplo, en Latinoamérica se calcula que el Producto Interno Bruto (PIB) aumentaría en un 34% si se incorporara masivamente a las mujeres en el mundo laboral, y para esto, se propone un modelo de cultura organizacional y decisiones estratégicas más inclusivo considerando las actuales brechas existentes.

Effects of preconditioning with TNFα and IFNγ in angiogenic potential of mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicles
Authors: Cavallero Sophie , Dekali Samir , Guitard Nathalie , Théry Héléne , Hélissey Carole , François Sabine 
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have demonstrated therapeutic properties both in vitro and in vivo to treat various diseases, including anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and pro-angiogenic effects. These therapeutic effects are mediated by their secretome composed of soluble factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs). The composition of EVs reflects the molecular and functional characteristics of parental cells. MSC preconditioning can alter the composition of EVs, thereby influencing their therapeutic potential.Methods: MSCs were subjected to preconditioning with two cytokines, TNFα and IFNγ. Following 24 h of preconditioning, MSC-EVs secreted into the culture supernatant were isolated through tangential filtration. Particle concentration and size distribution were measured by nanoparticle tracking analysis, and the surface antigen expression of the EV-specific CD63 was quantified via Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay. The angiogenic potential of MSCEVs obtained after preconditioning MSCs was assessed by the analysis of their protein composition and their influence on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs) proliferation, migration, and tube-forming ability.Results: Preconditioning with TNFα and IFNγ did not influence the MSC-EV profile but did induce changes in their protein content. Indeed, the expression of pro-angiogenic proteins increased in EVs from preconditioned MSCs compared to EVs from no-preconditioned MSCs. EVs from preconditioned MSCs tend to stimulate HUVEC migration, proliferation and tubeforming ability. These observations imply the presence of a pro-angiogenic potential in EVs obtained after preconditioning of MSCs with TNFα and IFNγ.Discussion: In conclusion, it appears that the pro-angiogenic potential of EVs is enhanced through preconditioning of MSCs with TNFα and IFNγ. The use of these MSCs-EVs in therapy would circumvent the limitations of current cell-based therapies. Indeed, the therapeutic potential of MSC-EVs presents an attractive strategy for exploiting the clinical benefits of MSC therapy. For example, in the field of regenerative medicine, the exploitation of cell-free therapy using highly pro-angiogenic MSC-EVs is of great interest.
Parents’ satisfaction and children's acceptance of nasal compared to oral midazolam for sedation in two consecutive pediatric dental treatments: a randomized controlled study

Published: December 2023

IntroductionMidazolam, by either the oral or the nasal route, is safe and effective in reducing anxiety and improving behavior in children during dental procedures.AimTo compare both children's acceptance and parents’ satisfaction with midazolam premedication, when administered as an oral syrup or as a nasal spray and explore whether there were positive or negative changes in acceptance during consecutive dental treatment visits.MethodsRandomized controlled study among uncooperative 2–6-year-old children who needed at least two similar dental treatments. On each visit, the acceptability of the medication was assessed as good, fair, or poor. The duration of crying after medication administration was recorded. Additionally, parents were asked to rank their satisfaction with the mode of administration.ResultsThe study group included 60 children; 30 patients received midazolam orally and 30 nasally. Route of administration did not correlate with medication acceptance in the first (p = 0.11) and second visit (p = 0.61). However, in the oral group, medication acceptance of 73% of children deteriorated on the second visit, compared to 33% in the nasal group (p = 0.01). Parents of children in the oral group expressed less satisfaction with premedication administered on the second visit than did parents of children in the nasal group, p = 0.00. Poor medication acceptance at the first visit (p = 0.014) and oral route of administration (p = 0.014) were found to be predictors of poor medication acceptance at the second visit.ConclusionsAcceptance of premedication is expected to deteriorate after the first treatment visit, especially in the oral route of administration. Dentists should consider nasal spray administration for young pediatric patients who need more than one dental treatment. Parents should be prepared for possible resistance or refusal by children.Clinical Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT02679781.

Published: December 2023

IntroductionCentral European Norway spruce monocultures face Ips typographus outbreaks due to decreasing resistance. These beetles use volatile compounds to communicate and select suitable host trees. Spruce trees, beetles, and their symbiotic ophiostomatoid fungi emit oxygenated monoterpenes, including 1,8-cineole, α-terpineol, camphor, carvone, terpinen-4-ol, isopinocamphone, and pinocamphone, and the phenylpropanoid estragole, particularly in the infestation phase. These compounds trigger strong responses in I. typographus antennae, motivating our field study.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess how adding these compounds to the aggregation pheromone of Ips typographus modulates the attraction of this bark beetle and its natural enemies.MethodsIn combination with I. typographus pheromone, estragole, 1,8-cineole, (±)-camphor, (–)-carvone, alpha-terpineol, (–)-terpinen-4-ol, (+)-pinocamphone, and (+)-isopinocamphone at low, medium, and high doses were tested in pheromone traps at two sites in the Czech Republic.ResultsAll 1,8-cineole doses and the high estragole dose acted as anti-attractants for I. typographus, whereas all (+)-isopinocamphone doses enhanced their attraction to pheromone. Catches of natural enemies, the Staphylinidae and Pteromalidae, varied by location.Conclusion1,8-cineole, isopinocamphone, and estragole may play vital roles in tritrophic interactions among spruce trees, and I. typographus and its natural enemies, and these compounds may be developed into new or enhanced semiochemical-based pest control methods.
