Variations in the Byzantine Artistic Tradition in Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra Churches’ Painting in 1890s – 1910s
Authors: Bardik Maryna 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the embodiment of the Byzantine artistic tradition in the monumantal painting of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in 1890s – 1910s. The research methodology is based on historical, cultural, and art historical analysis. Scientific novelty. The article reveals a weakening in the use of the Byzantine artistic heritage in the monumental painting of the churches in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The transformation from the systematic use of Byzantine ornaments and the symbolism of gold in the Great Church (the Dormition Cathedral) in the late 19th century to fragments of Byzantine compositions in Art Nouveau ornaments have been traced. The decorative golden background in the Church of Venerable Anthony and Theodosius of Pechersk with the Refectory Chamber (the Refectory Church) in the early 20th century has been explored. The use of the term "Neo-Byzantine style" for the painting of the Great Church is proved to be incorrect. The author made the following conclusions on the basis of archival information introduced into scientific circulation. Firstly, the algorithm of creating ornaments and a golden background as the basis of the Byzantine artistic tradition has been observed. Secondly, the authorship and dating of paintings of the Great Church have been clarified. Thirdly, it is determined that the rejection of the Byzantine tradition in favour of the Art Nouveau style in the Refectory Church took place in 1902, along with the change of artists. The significance of preparatory sketches and paintings of the Great Church for the creation of the compositions of the Refectory Church has been emphasised. Conclusions. The Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra did not have the opportunity to return to the Byzantine tradition in the technique of monumantal painting, namely to the technique of mosaics and frescoes. In the paintings of the Great Church (the Dormition Cathedral) and the Church of Venerable Anthony and Theodosius of Pechersk with the Refectory Chamber (the Refectory Church) the Byzantine tradition was realised mainly in decorative elements, namely in ornaments and the golden background of compositions. In both churches, the artists implemented thematic and narrative lines in the tradition of late academicism. Along with V. Vereshchagin, V. Fartusov was the author of the paintings in the Great Church. The paintings date from 1897 to 1901. The transition to the Art Nouveau style in the decor of the Refectory Church began in 1902. The ornaments of the Refectory contain elements of national (Ukrainian) motifs and fragments of Byzantine ornaments. The preparatory sketches and paintings of the Great Church served as the pictorial basis for the compositions of the Refectory Church and the Chamber.

Globalisation of Culture in the Context of Dynamics of Socio-Cultural Systems
Authors: Tanska Lyudmyla 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the article is to examine the processes of globalisation in the field of culture in the context of the dynamics of socio-cultural systems, also mediated by the effects of globalism. Research methodology. The principles of the dialectical method are the basis of the research methodology. The study of globalisation in the field of culture and the analysis of the dynamics of socio-cultural systems is carried out using an interdisciplinary approach. In the study of globalisation as an open, self-developing system, the synergistic method is applied. The study also uses the methods of theoretical generalisation, analysis, and synthesis; structural and systemic methods, as well as cultural methods, which allowed for a comprehensive consideration of the specified problem and achievement of the relevant research results. The scientific novelty lies in the systematisation and generalisation of the main trends of the globalisation of culture and the dynamics of socio-cultural systems mediated by globalisation influences. Conclusions. Globalisation is one of the most pressing issues of contemporary research, due to both the interdisciplinary nature of the concept of globalisation and the multidimensionality and multifacetedness of this phenomenon. The dialectic of the complex interaction of all systems and components of social interaction leads to a configuration where a universal global culture is formed in parallel with the preservation of a wide and heterogeneous set of local cultures, which are non-linear processes. Globalisation generates new demarcation lines, new localities that do not coincide with the traditional ones – local, regional, national, ethnic, and others. Historically complex multi-level interrelationships, being the source of the development of globalisation processes, form its dialectical nature: on the one hand, internationalisation and globalisation are expanding and deepening, and on the other hand, processes of the opposite direction are actively developing. The dynamics of socio-cultural systems in the context of globalisation is determined by synergistic interactions of open complex systems, which, in the presence of external and internal determinants, are capable of qualitative transformations and changes within the system, producing the corresponding dynamics of transformational changes.

The Concept of Cultural Creativity in the Context of Event Industry Development
Authors: Zasyadvovk Olga 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the content of the concept of cultural creativity as an integral component of the event industry development. Research methodology. To achieve the research purpose, a systemic and cultural approach, methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, comparison, and functional were applied, which allowed a comprehensive analysis of the concept of culture creation in the context of the dynamics of modern event industries. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the theoretical generalisation of the concept of culture creation in the development of the modern event industry as a sphere of creative economy and cultural practice from the perspective of the cultural approach. Conclusions. The development of the economy in the post-industrial information society and the dynamics of modern mass culture, combined with the latest cultural practices, have led to the formation of a creative environment in various spheres of human activity, where the factor of cultural creation plays a significant role as a generator of innovativeness in professional activity. As of today, the sphere of culture and art, which generates value content capable of influencing the spiritual component of society, and the sphere of economy and business, which represents the efficient production of goods and services aimed at meeting various needs of society, are in active interaction, where the economy has transformed into a "creative economy", ("economy of impressions"), in which creativity is the key resource. At the present stage, the event industry acts as a tool for the formation of social relations not only through symbolic involvement, but also creates certain forms of social relations between participants, activating the collective consciousness through the manifestations of feelings of belonging and interconnection with different social groups, and society as a whole.

Introducción. Los coliformes fecales son valorados como microorganismos habituales a nivel de microbiota intestinal, los mismos tienden a ser inofensivos cuando su cuantificación se encuentra acorde a los parámetros permisibles, no obstante, se evidencia la existencia de enterobacterias en torno a superficies con alta concurrencia de seres humanos como por ejemplo, los centros comerciales, su desarrollo se da por el inoperante manejo de la asepsia y las deficientes consideraciones de higiene personal, la detección de enterobacterias serán valoradas como indicadores de contaminación fecal, mismas que deberán ser erradicadas oportunamente para evitar proliferaciones desmedidas que pongan en riesgo la salud de los visitantes. Objetivo. Determinar y cuantificar la presencia de coliformes fecales en superficies inertes de un centro comercial de la ciudad de Cuenca. Metodología. El estudio fue de tipo observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal. Resultados. Con la aplicación del respectivo estudio se recolectó un total de 166 muestras de superficies inertes en un periodo de dos tomas, las cuales fueron efectuadas previo a la apertura y posterior al cierre del establecimiento, las zonas de elección para la búsqueda de coliformes fecales fueron aquellas que perciben la mayor afluencia de seres humanos, como: sillas, mesas, barandillas de gradas eléctricas y comandos de ascensores, dando como resultado el crecimiento de coliformes fecales en un 74.69% de la muestras analizadas. De acuerdo con los resultados del análisis de frecuencia se pudo comprobar que el género más representativo fue Klebsiella pneumoniae en un porcentaje del 67%, seguido de Enterococcus faecalis con el 52% y la mínima incidencia para Escherichia coli con un 11%, el periodo con mayor carga bacteriana fue al cierre del establecimiento dando como resultado un total de 71 muestras positivas a coliformes fecales.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: This study was carried out in order to develop a measurement tool that determines the factors that may be effective in women's fear of getting pregnant and to bring it into the literature.
Methods: The sample of the study, which was carried out in methodological and analytical type, consisted of 240 sexually active women who applied to the obstetrics clinic of a hospital in the Anatolian side of Istanbul between February 1 and June 1, 2021. The study data were obtained with the "Personal Information Form" and the "Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale" created by the researchers. The draft scale, which consisted of 22 items when it was first developed, took its final form with 18 items as a result of the necessary validity and reliability studies. The scale consisted of three sub-dimensions: “physical reasons” (5 items), “psychological reasons” (6 items), and “social reasons” (7 items). Explanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Barlett test, Cronbach alpha test, Shapiro-Wilk test were used in the development of the scale. After evaluating the content validity of the scale, test-retest reliability, internal consistency and construct validity were examined.
Results: In the validity and reliability study of the Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was found to be “0.837”. The total cronbach alpha value of the scale was determined as 0.951, and the cronbach alpha value for the "physical reasons" sub-dimension was 0.910, the cronbach alpha value for the "psychological reasons" sub-dimension was 0.898, and the cronbach alpha value for the "social reasons" sub-dimension was 0.904.
Conclusion: In line with these data, it was determined that the “Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale” is a valid and reliable scale.
Effect of bovine respiratory disease on the respiratory microbiome: a meta-analysis

Published: September 2023

BackgroundBovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most devastating disease affecting beef and dairy cattle producers in North America. An emerging area of interest is the respiratory microbiome’s relationship with BRD. However, results regarding the effect of BRD on respiratory microbiome diversity are conflicting.ResultsTo examine the effect of BRD on the alpha diversity of the respiratory microbiome, a meta-analysis analyzing the relationship between the standardized mean difference (SMD) of three alpha diversity metrics (Shannon’s Diversity Index (Shannon), Chao1, and Observed features (OTUs, ASVs, species, and reads) and BRD was conducted. Our multi-level model found no difference in Chao1 and Observed features SMDs between calves with BRD and controls. The Shannon SMD was significantly greater in controls compared to that in calves with BRD. Furthermore, we re-analyzed 16S amplicon sequencing data from four previously published datasets to investigate BRD’s effect on individual taxa abundances. Additionally, based on Bray Curtis and Jaccard distances, health status, sampling location, and dataset were all significant sources of variation. Using a consensus approach based on RandomForest, DESeq2, and ANCOM-BC2, we identified three differentially abundant amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) within the nasal cavity, ASV5_Mycoplasma, ASV19_Corynebacterium, and ASV37_Ruminococcaceae. However, no ASVs were differentially abundant in the other sampling locations. Moreover, based on SECOM analysis, ASV37_Ruminococcaceae had a negative relationship with ASV1_Mycoplasma_hyorhinis, ASV5_Mycoplasma, and ASV4_Mannheimia. ASV19_Corynebacterium had negative relationships with ASV1_Mycoplasma_hyorhinis, ASV4_Mannheimia, ASV54_Mycoplasma, ASV7_Mycoplasma, and ASV8_Pasteurella.ConclusionsOur results confirm a relationship between bovine respiratory disease and respiratory microbiome diversity and composition, which provide additional insight into microbial community dynamics during BRD development. Furthermore, as sampling location and sample processing (dataset) can also affect results, consideration should be taken when comparing results across studies.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundThe prognosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is closely linked to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In contrast to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), thrombolysis-transfer PCI (TTPCI) is influenced by multiple factors that lead to heterogeneity in cardiac function and prognosis. The aim of this study is to develop a nomogram model for predicting early LVEF in STEMI patients with TTPCI, based on routine indicators at admission.MethodWe retrospectively reviewed data from patients diagnosed with STEMI at five network hospitals of our PCI center who performed TTPCI as door-to-balloon time (the interval between arrival at the hospital and intracoronary balloon inflation) over 120 min, from February 2018 to April 2022. Categorical variables were analyzed using Pearson χ2 tests or Fisher exact tests, while Student's t-test or Mann–Whitney U-test was used to compare continuous variables. Subsequently, independent risk factors associated with reduced LVEF one week after TTPCI were identified through comprehensive analysis by combining All-Subsets Regression with Logistic Regression. Based on these indicators, a nomogram model was developed, and validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Bootstrap method.ResultsA total of 288 patients were analyzed, including 60 with LVEF &lt; 50% and 228 with LVEF ≥ 50%. The nomogram model based on six independent risk factors including age, heart rate (HR), hypertension, smoking history, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and Killip class, demonstrated excellent discrimination with an AUC of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.78–0.89), predicted C-index of 0.84 and curve fit of 0.713.ConclusionsThe nomogram model incorporating age, HR, hypertension, smoking history, ALT and Killip class could accurately predict the early LVEF ≥ 50% probability of STEMI patients undergoing TTPCI, and enable clinicians' early evaluation of cardiac function in STEMI patients with TTPCI and early optimization of treatment.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundWith an increasing number of patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), more attention is being paid to relieving clinical symptoms and improving the quality of life of these patients. For patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), direct current cardioversion (DCCV) is an alternate, nonpharmacological choice to restore sinus rhythm and relieve clinical symptoms.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of the DCCV at the time of LAAO for patients with AF.MethodsForty patients were enrolled in the DCCV group undergoing the DCCV at the time of LAAO. The control group undergoing LAAO alone was formed by 1:1 matching.ResultsIn the DCCV group, cardioversion was immediately successful in 30 (75%) patients, of which 12 (40%) had AF recurrence at the three-month follow-up. The failed-DCCV group was older (73.70 ± 4.74 vs. 62.20 ± 9.01 years old, P = 0.000), had a faster postcardioversion heart rate (88.80 ± 16.58 vs. 70.97 ± 14.73 times, P = 0.03), and had a higher mean HAS-BLED score (4.00 vs. 3.00, P = 0.01) than the successful-DCCV group. No patients experienced periprocedural pericardial effusion, occluder displacement, device embolism, or &gt;5 mm peridevice leakage. One patient experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the DCCV group during the follow-up.ConclusionsThe DCCV at the time of LAAO is feasible and safe for AF patients with contraindications for catheter ablation or AF recurrence after previous catheter ablation to restore the sinus rhythm and relieve clinical symptoms. The DCCV at the time of LAAO is more likely to succeed for younger patients and patients with lower HAS-BLED scores.
