Chronic kidney disease in children: Vaccination – strategy, current recommendations and potentialities
Authors: Fomina S. P. , Reshetylo N. V. 
Published: September 2023

The Immunization Schedule with additional vaccinations against certain infections is recognized as an effective strategy for preventing complications in children with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The aim of this study is to highlight international experience regarding the immunization status of such patients in order to optimize the vaccinations process in Ukraine.
The current Immunization Schedule for pediatric CKD, approved in international practice, is presented and has been compared to the national one. The approaches to the use of live and inactivated vaccines, to the immunization of persons on immunosuppressive therapy and the additional protective measures are clearly outlined. The international experience in the major vaccine-controlled disease prevention in children with CKD includes routine immunization (tuberculosis, hepatitis B, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, hemophilic infection), additional vaccination of immunocompromised hosts (influenza, pneumococcal infection, chicken pox) and in groups with risk factors (meningococcal, papillomavirus, rotavirus infections, hepatitis A, etc.) are summarized. It is emphasized that the optimal window of opportunity for vaccinations is the early stages of CKD or at least the pre-transplant time. The key principles of vaccine control prior and after kidney transplantation have been given.
Increasing knowledge on protection from vaccine-controlled infections involved in children with CKD, including at the immunosuppressive therapy stage and kidney replacement therapy, makes implementation of current recommendations easier and advances the prevention strategy for this sensitive cohort. The process of harmonization of national recommendations on the vaccine status formation in this group of patients based on international experience and Ukrainian capabilities is proposed to initiate.

Relevance. The global strategy for cervical cancer elimination includes the active implementation of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention programs. In the Russian Federation, screening for the detection of malignant neoplasms of the cervix is carried out while women contact specialists, as well as an organized procedure during preventive medical examinations of the certain groups of adults. The study of the population structure of circulating human papillоmavirus (HPV) types, and evaluation of the effectiveness of the recommended diagnostic models will improve the direction of the fight against cervical cancer and introduce optimal preventive solutions.Aim. Retrospective analysis of screening effectiveness for the detection of malignant neoplasms of the cervix, carried out during the medical examination in one institution of Moscow.Materials and methods. The study examined 1068 women aged 20 to 81 years (M = 37.82, Me = 35, IQR 27–47 years) from one institution in Moscow over a 5-year follow-up period (2017–2021). The screening was based on the co-testing model: liquid-based cytology with Papanicolaou staining and classification according to the Bethesda system and quantitative Real Time HPV-test with determination of the 14 HPV DNA types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68).Results. The prevalence of the 14 HPV oncogenic types was 14.87% (95% CI: 12.86–17.13%), the most common were 16 (16.98%), 31 (14.47%), 52 (13.21%). The study determined HPV types with the highest relative risk of persistence: 33, 58, 45, and 52 (p < 0.005). The frequency of HPV detection depended on the age of the examined women and was the highest in the age group of 20–29 years (25.58%). The baseline prevalence was 11.82% (95% CI: 9.98–13.94%). 6 HSIL cases associated with HPV types 16 and 31 were identified. 4/6 were in women under 30 years. The probability of intraepithelial lesions of the cervix increased with an increase of HPV DNA concentration: 23.65% and 66.67% with a viral load of 4.0–6.0 lg copies per 105 human cells and > 6.0 lg copies per 105 human cells, respectively.Conclusions. The study confirmed the great value of HPV- test in screening for the detection of malignant neoplasms of the cervix during the medical examination of the certain groups of adult population, taking into account the advantages of typing and quantitative determination of HPV DNA, as well as the need to consider lowering of the recommended age for the start of HPV-testing.
Kaplan-Meyer Survival Curves: Simulation Technique
Authors: HOLUBOVA H. 
Published: September 2023

The right censoring of survival data, being the most conventional method of research, is analyzed. The patient survival is explored in a time span that is shorter in fact than the actual survival time. However, when the actual survival time is unknown, the proxy of the observable survival time will be used for estimating the actual survival time.
The algorithm for estimation of survival probabilities is demonstrated by data on 20 patients during six months, with visualizing the technique of simulating Kaplan – Meyer curves by categorical variables (method of treatment and gender) using GraphPad Prism software for statistical data processing. It is argued that Kaplan – Meyer curves could provide an effective tool in simulating the patient survival in case of COVID-19 by various criteria of grouping: gender (male and female); treatment method; associated diseases (diabetes and others); age group; vaccinated or not vaccinated patients etc.
The significance of differences between survival curves of patienst in various groups can be found using Log-Rank test, Gehan – Wilcoxon test, Mantel – Cox test and others. The results of tests produced on the basis of data on 42 patients ill with leukemia show significant differences in the survival between two groups of patients. This confirms the assumption that the new method of treatment is more effective than the conventional one. The main deficiency of the nonparametric method of Kaplan – Meyer is that it is incapable to build curves by several categorical variables. The main advantages of Cox regression based on the Cox proportional hazards model are demonstrated.
Consolidating Management Accounting and Economic Security System in a Business Enterprise: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: PYLYPENKO О. 
Published: September 2023

The effectiveness of business management in precarious economic conditions can decrease due to the lack of a well-established economic security system and relevant accounting information that is also an object of special protection. Accounting and security functions in a business enterprise have organic links that need to be shown in organizational measures aimed at elaborating the accounting support for the economic security system in way to achieve its integrity and efficiency.
The article presents the author’s framework for integrating the components of management accounting and economic security in a business enterprise, to enhance the effectiveness of management decisions procedures and protect business operation from potential economic crimes. The proposed approach to organization of the management accounting in a business enterprise, to enhance its economic security, includes a series of phases: identifying problems specific to the economic security, substantiating the economic security objectives, building up an economic security system, constructing algorithms for assessment of the economic security performance, setting up the measures for implementation of the economic security requirements, assessing the economic security performance and control of the measures involved in it.
It is stressed that an economic security system needs to take into consideration tax-specific risks and incorporate schemes for avoidance of these risks through formulating tax clauses and including them in business contracts. This will help reduce potential losses caused by claims work and provide a tool for protecting rights and interests of a business enterprise through restoring or recognizing the rights for the amounts of money declared in tax reports, thus assuring the proper security of business enterprises in the conditions of uncertainties and volatile tax laws.
It is demonstrated that this framework is capable to enhance the effectiveness of management accounting functions in a business enterprise, including compilations of management reports for control, presentation of analytical information for management decision-making, forecasting and choice of effective decisions for future development, avoidance of losses, assurance of financial viability.
Electoral Systems in the Digital Age: Underlying Challenges and New Opportunities. Part III. Methods of Multi-Criteria Approaches to Electoral Technologies
Authors: SINYTSKYI M. 
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of democratic development of Ukraine.
The reasons for the need for a radical transformation of the electoral process in Ukraine have been considered from a theoretical standpoint. The main goal and sub-goals of the research have been formulated. The classical mathematical models of electoral technologies, selected for comparison with modern approaches have been described.
The basic principles of selection of methods for measuring the results of approval voting have been analyzed. The issues of constructing a verbal-numerical scale, assessing the consistency of voter decisions and applying statistical criteria to obtain a consolidated result have been considered.
The models selected for calculating the final election rating are analyzed. Mathematical algorithms of multicriteria selection based on the qualimetric approach and pairwise comparison on four variants of scales are given. Protocols for determining consensus alternatives using the Topsis method, the Kemeni – Young median, the Schulze heuristic procedure, and the fuzzy set approach are described.
The results of approbation of the selected protocols of approval of the voting system for the election model of 4 candidates on 7 questions of the ballot paper are given. The algorithm and the results of generating by the Monte Carlo method arrays of initial data with a size of 10,000 records, having a uniform and normal distribution with three variants of the bias parameter, are presented. To identify the sensitivity of the studied protocols to violations of the transitivity of individual preference profiles, the primary data arrays were transformed by replacing the nontransitive profiles with an equivalent number of transitive ones without presenting a preference to any alternative. Based on the assessment of the correlation of the final ratings, their sensitivity to the type of distribution and to violations of the transitivity of individual judgments, it was concluded that it is advisable to use the Kemeny median to determine the voting results. The use of the proposed method for transforming primary data also makes it possible to use the Condorcet, Dodgson, Saati and Schulze protocols. The results of this study indicate that there is a fundamental possibility of transition to a new digital paradigm of the electoral process based on the approving principle of voting.
Visual Perception of Sound Images in Piano and Orchestral Music of "Vii" by Ukrainian Composers
Authors: Afonina Olena 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyse the visual perception of sound images in the piano and orchestral music “Vii” by Ukrainian composers (I. Aleksiychuk, M. Verykovskyi, V. Hubarenko, A. Rodin, S. Yarunskyi). The research methodology is based on the use of the following methods: analytical – to analyse the piano music using logical abstractions in the study of R. Arnheim’s works; historical – to draw parallels with different incarnations of “Vii's” sound images; generalising – to update and specify the basic information about piano and orchestral music “Vii”. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the analysis of piano and orchestral music “Vii” by Ukrainian composers from the point of view of visual perception of sound images is conducted for the first time. Conclusions. Based on R. Arnheim's definitions of visual perception from the point of view of psychology of creativity, piano suite based on the novel “Viy” by Iryna Aleksiichuk is analysed in comparison with other works of the same name: M. Verykivskyi, V. Hubarenko, O. Rodin, S. Yarunskyi. The use of fragmentary musicological and comparative analysis allowed us to state that composers' decisions in embodying the images of Gogol's novel "Viy" depend on time (M. Verykivskyi, V. Hubarenko) and creative comprehension, previous experience, and means of musical expression. The idea of Gogol's story is embodied in all works under this title in a similar way. Therefore, the visual perception of the audience is guided by the title of the source and the motifs, and the interpretation of the images depends on the experience of the recipients. The plot of the story in the musical and theatrical genres (M. Verykivskyi, V.Hubarenko) fits quite clearly into the libretto. In the ballet by O. Rodin – R. Poklitaru, the events are transferred to a timeless space. S. Yarunskyi's mystery-buff recounts the events of the story and synthesises the music and video sequences of the film of the same name (1967). The means of musical expression used to present images based on Gogol's story in different genres are quite similar. I. Aleksiychuk's suite is dominated by dissonant melodic and harmonic complexes. The titles of the pieces suggest that Gogol's story is reproduced in the sequence of the original source. Musical works by Rodin and S. Yarunskyi show similarity in the use of dissonant means of expression. Since M. Verykivskyi’s work is represented exclusively by the aria of Pannochka, the melodic and harmonic constructions here are classical-romantic. V. Hubarenko's opera-ballet is a unique combination of genres and embodiment of images: realistic ones in the opera numbers, mystical and fantastic ones in the ballet.
Key words: piano music, orchestral music, academic musical art, psychology of visual perception in the works of R. Arnheim, programme music, ensemble performance, Vii, sound image, Ukrainian composers.
Bratislava School of Musicology as a Centre of Slavic Way of Thinking in Scientific and Artistic Work
Authors: Hysa Oksana 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the work is to highlight the history of the formation and development of the Department of Musicology at Comenius University in Bratislava from its foundation in 1921 to the present day. The research methodology consists in the application of the historical method to study musicology as an academic discipline in relation to the historical context and to present a holistic picture of its development; biographical studies to outline the figures of the Slovak general cultural and special musicological school. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the characterisation of the Bratislava School of Musicology, which in the nineteenth century became the centre of musicology in Slovakia, developing traditional musicological problems and the methodology and practice of modern musical research. Conclusions. The article highlights the development of musicology as an academic discipline at Comenius University in Bratislava, its national and European musical traditions, which led to the emergence of the Slovak school of musicology, founded by Dobroslav Orel. The activities of the Czech D. Orel led to the emergence of a galaxy of Slovak musicologists and music historians who were brought up on the principles of the educational and scientific methodology of European academic education. This was the first generation of musicologists to receive a thorough professional education of the European model in their homeland. As a result of the active interaction of scholars of several generations, the traditions of a powerful scientific centre, Bratislava, strong in its combination of Europeanist breadth of education and pro-Slavic patriotic focus of its professional activities, were formed.
Key words: Department of Musicology at Comenius University in Bratislava, student, lecturer, musicology education, European academic education.
Genre-Stylistic and Performance Features of O. Shchetynskyi’s Works for Wind Instruments
Authors: Paliichuk Iryna 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the proposed article is to determine the genre-stylistic and performance features of the works for wind instruments by Oleksandr Shchetynskyi. The research methodology is based on the use of the following methods: textual, source and hermeneutical – in the study of musicological and sheet music sources on the chosen topic; analytical – to determine the genre-stylistic and performance features of the analysed compositions; the method of personalisation (scientific biography) – to outline the composer’s contribution to the works for wind instruments; interviews – during direct communication with the author. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the generalisation of significant factual material concerning the work of O. Shchetynskyi and the updating of notographic material analysed for the first time. Conclusions. The compositions for wind instruments and O. Shchetynskyi’s work in general reflect the leading trends in the development of Ukrainian music of the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the context of postmodernism and post-avant-garde as the two most traditionally established concepts for understanding modern artistic processes. On the basis of the analytical characteristics of individual works with the participation of wind instrument by O. Shchetynskyi, their immanent features were determined, such as the use of modern composition techniques (free atonality, dodecaphony, quarter-tones, seriality, and multiseries), which expand the range of performance and expressive possibilities of these instruments (use of heterogeneous glissando and vibrato, raised and lowered quarter tones, multiphonic sounds, specific articulation techniques), a special attitude to sound as a self-sufficient value, which is manifested in a thourough sound elaboration of any idea and the most delicate attitude to rhythm, timbre, dynamics, and articulation.
Key words: works for wind instruments, O. Shchetynskyi, Ukrainian music.
German Instrumentalism of the Eighteenth Century in Intersection with the Post-Avant-Garde Heritage of the Present
Authors: Babukhivskyi Vasyl 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this article is a stylistic analysis of the musical and artistic tendencies of eighteenth-century German music, in which not only the antitheses of the respective typological achievements, but also their certain diffuse vagueness, their connection with the political background of the convergence of confessional divisions, with a complex interweaving of religious and national-social factors – constituted the fertile ground for creative discoveries correlated with the "disappearance of trends" in post-avant-garde music. The research methodology is the intonation approach, as it was mentioned in the works of B. Asaf'ev's followers in Ukraine (see publications of D. Androsova, O. Markova, O. Muravska), as well as based on the development of the instrumental performance of the Odessa school (works by Z Bukatskyi, K. Mülberg). The scientific novelty of the work is noted in the originality of the presentation of the meaning of the stylistic diffusions of instrumental art of this era and the basic understanding of the ecclesiastical expressive component in them, which provided and provides an independent stylistic flavour with appropriate typological combinations, correlated with the playful mosaicism of post-avant-garde and post-post-avant-garde of the present. Conclusions. The stylistic eclecticism of the Baroque and Early Classical period of German art is based, firstly, on the religious and applied inseparability of the principles of Italian and German instrumentalism of the eighteenth century against the background of the existence of the German cultural idea and the coexistence of national traditions with it and the inertia of the latter’s unity in cultural use. And, secondly, the lack of expression German presence in opera until the 1780s, in which the antithetical positions of the styles were concentrated, stimulated typological intersections in instrumentalism, evaluated in their artistic significance of playful concertos in the post-avant-garde existence.
Key words: instrumental music, German style in music, style of the era, baroque, classicism, post-avant-garde.

Published: September 2023

Metode pembelajaran permainan sensorimotor dan senam latih otak merupakan salah satu metode yang dibeberapa penelitian menunjukkan hasil dapat mempengaruhi terhadap peningkatan konsentrasi belajar. Langkah awal dan akhir dari kegiatan pelatihan dan pelaksanaannya adalah melakukan penilaian tingkat konsentrasi dengan menggunakan tes keseimbangan Sullivan. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini diawali dengan menjalin komunikasi dengan mitra sehingga memahami kebutuhan mitra. Siswa kelas enam sekolah dasar merupakan siswa yang memiliki beban belajar dan kegiatan yang lebih banyak jika kita bandingkan dengan kelas dibawahnya. Hal ini dikarenakan siswa kelas 6 atau siswa tingkat akhir memiliki beban menghadapi Ujian Akhir yang menjadi syarat kelulusan. Pembelajaran yang terus menerus dengan menggunakan metode ceramah lebih dari 60 menit menimbulkan rasa bosan atau jenuh serta lelah yang pada akhirnya dapat menurunkan tingkat konsentrasi. Tingkat konsentrasi yang berkurang atau menurun akan berakibat pada penurunan pemahaman dari apa yang diberikan oleh guru didalam kelas, hal ini juga akan berdampak pada penurunan tingkat prestasi siswa. Harapan dari kegiatan pemberihan pelatihan metode pembelajaran sensorimotor dan senam latih otak adalah agar guru dapat memberikan metode pembelajara lain selama pembelajaran atau di sela sela pembelajaran metode ceramah siswa bisa diajak menggerakkan tubuh melalui senam latih otak untuk membuat kembali siswa berkonsentrasi. Guru dapat melihat tingkat konsentrasi tiap siswa dengan melakukan test keseimbangan Sullivan. Metode pembelajaran sensori motor dengan senam otak dapat dilakukan dimanapun tempat pembelajan serta dapat dilakukan secara mandiri maupun kelompok.
