Effect of Swelling Soil on Load Carrying Capacity of a Single Pile
Authors: Aljorany Ala Nasir , Noori Fatema Safaa 
Published: June 2023

Expansive soils are recognized by their swelling potential upon wetting due to the existence of some clay minerals such as montmorillonite. An effective solution was found to avoid the danger of such soils by using piles. A single pile embedded in an elasto-plastic expansive soil has been analyzed by using one of the available software which is ABAQUS to investigate the effect of applied loads on pile’s top and investigate the effect of swelling soils on load carrying capacity of the pile. The result shows that as the pile is axially loaded at its top, the axial force along the pile gradually changes from (tension) to (compression) and the pile tends to move downward. The applied load needed to initiate pile’s settlement depends on pile’s embedment depth and the depth of active zone. The ultimate carrying capacity of a single pile for no swelling conditions is greater than that of with swelling conditions.

Hypertension can cause stroke, myocardial infarction, kidney failure, and brain damage and can even cause death. Hypertension requires compliance to improve the health of one of the therapies, namely by using non-pharmacological therapy independent actions of nurses such as hydrotherapy (foot soaking in warm water), a straightforward and natural medicine because this treatment method does not have harmful side effects, and does not use drugs. Modern. This study aims to prove the effect of a warm foot soak mixed with salt and lemongrass on reducing blood pressure in hypertension. The method used in this study is a case study. This study describes a case study on nursing care at the risk of ineffective cerebral perfusion. The subject of this case study uses one respondent who does not take hypertension medication regularly, with the classification of moderate hypertension at the age of 45-65 years. Warm foot soak hydrotherapy with a mixture of salt and lemongrass can overcome the problem of the risk of ineffective cerebral tissue perfusion and reduce blood pressure.

A clinical review of estimating the accuracy of nasogastric tube insertion depth
Authors: Yuliati Mia , Ganefianty Amelia , Afianty Nurlaily , Kurniawan Titis 
Published: June 2023

Inserting a nasogastric tube (NGT) is a standard procedure performed by nurses. Assuring the correct position of the tip of the NGT in the stomach is crucial for maximizing the treatment effectiveness and preventing complications due to NGT malposition. While the nose-ear-xiphoid distance is one of the simplest applied methods in estimating the depth of NGT, some studies reported that it is not accurate and is considered no longer safe and increasing the risk for NGT malposition. This literature review aimed to identify the most precise method for determining the NGT insertion depth. The article searched from some electronic sources, namely Sciencedirect and Google Scholar, using "nasogastric tube," "placement," "method," "formula," and "nursing" as the keywords and searching focused on the original research articles published in English between March 2017 – March 2022. Three pieces met the inclusion criteria. These three articles used different definitions and formulas in determining the accurate position of NGT in the stomach. Considering the rate of correct position resulting from the formulas, the xiphoid-ear-nose distance + 10 cm formula was considered the most appropriate formula to be implemented in the daily NGT tube insertion procedure. However, using this formula cannot altogether remove the risk of malposition. Therefore, confirming the position of the NGT using a gastric aspirate pH test or chest x-ray is very recommended.

Проблема сповідання українським православним населенням ХІХ ст. (за матеріалами сповідних розписів Кам’янецького повіту Подільської губернії)
Authors: Бороденко Олена , Тучинський Віталій 
Published: June 2023

Мета. У статті за матеріалами сповідних відомостей православних парафій Кам’янецького повіту Подільської губернії досліджуються причини та фактори, які зумовлювали невідвідування церкви та не проведення святого таїнства сповіді у дні Великого посту українським населенням ХІХ ст. Методологія дослідження. У контексті впровадження антропологічного підходу в історіописанні звернуто увагу на персоніфіковані та родинні приклади простолюду щодо їхніх можливих мотивів відсутності на сповіді. У вивченні церковно-статистичної документації вживано метод критичного аналізу, адже джерела створені представниками парафіяльного кліру з різним рівнем освіченості та виконавської дисципліни. За алгоритмом роботи методу деконструкції зі змістової частини джерел виокремлено необхідну інформацію. Наукова новизна. Вперше виокремлено визначальні чинники та ймовірні умови, які корегували сповідальну поведінку православних мирян вищеназваного періоду. Висновки. У будь-якому місці перебування людині необхідно пройти обряд сповіді. Сповідальник повинен перед священником щиросердно визнати свої гріхи, підтвердити намір щодо їхнього виправлення, вірити в Бога та сподіватися на Його милосердя. Відвідування парафіянами святого таїнства фіксувалося у сповідальних відомостях, у яких різними примітками парохи позначали причини відсутності на сповіді. Найпоширенішим записом було «за відсутності», без пояснень докладних мотивів. Із-поміж інших впливових чинників, які змінювали сповідальну поведінку мирян, можна назвати такі: втечі, безвісна пропажа людей; військова служба; трудова або шлюбна міграція в інші населені пункти; перебування в установах соціального захисту населення; навчання у різних учбових закладах; особиста домовленість із парохом; паломництво; належність до інших християнських конфесій; ув’язнення та заслання в Сибір; «духовна заборона»; малолітство; батьківська заборона дітям сповідального віку; слабкий стан здоров’я тощо. Визначальними факторами, які могли корегувати проведення священнодійства були: сповідування окремих категорій людей удома; наявність природних перепон, які заважали людям відвідувати храм; значна кількість мирян у межах однієї парафії та нестача у них представників православного кліру; неможливість виокремити для всіх говіючих осіб необхідний сповідальний час; «пульсація» домогосподарств у складі територіальної православної громади; наявність декількох храмів у межах населеного пункту; не виконання священником своїх посадових обов’язків тощо. Парохи порушували законний порядок проведення святого таїнства. Сповідували не осібно, а по декілька парафіян. Церква рекомендувала внести низку змін щодо регламенту проведення церковного обряду сповіді.
Saudi Arabia: Strengthening the Power Vertical in the Context of the Collapse of the Old World-System
Authors: Vasiliev Alexey M. 
Published: June 2023

The implementation of reforms in Saudi Arabia met with both support and resistance. A significant part of the youth, pro-government “liberals”, and those elites that rejected the former feudal pyramid system stood in favor of the reforms. Among the opponents were jihadist extremists, some of the members of the “dominant tribe” of the House of Saud, who were losing their power and income associated with the previous system of corruption, some part of the Wahhabi corporation, religious police, theologians, some part of the business that flourished due to state subsidies and the absence of taxes and control over expenditures and incomes. Among the opponents were also conservatives from the middle and lower strata, dissatisfied with the granting of greater rights to women.
The regime’s international image was spoiled by the assassination of opposition leader Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
However, the firm course of the kingdom aimed at protecting, above all, the national interests of the country and the refusal to obey the dictates of the United States in matters of oil prices was highlighted by a demonstrative rapprochement with China and neutrality in the confrontation between Russia and the collective West. Saudi Arabia looked for and found its place in the changing world-system.

Authors: Pan Hun Andji 
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the musical poetics and dramaturgy of Tan Dun’s (PRC) first of four piano concertos – Concerto Pizzicato for piano and ten instruments (1995). The methodology is a comparative-historical method and method of musical-theoretical work analysis. The scientific novelty of the research involves the first attempt to the in-depth study of the musical poetics and dramaturgy of this highly artistic work in Ukrainian and Chinese musicology. Conclusions. The Concerto title reflects the main genre idea associated with the interpretation of piano as a fretted instrument, assimilated in sounding to the Chinese zither (tsin). The score is accompanied by a stage-arrangement scheme of instruments, a list of phonation approaches, and performance methods. The composition is dedicated to the memory of J. Cage, which was reflected in САGElight theme–name anagram of the outstanding avant-gardist of the XX century. Semantic sphere of the work involves nature images, national rituals, and theater with a highlight of the Chinese philosophy of “native places” and ideas of American transcendentalism. The single-frequency dramatic model reflects the idea of “organic music,” embodied by means of polystylism, minimalism, rehearsal, theatrical, and film music techniques. The orchestra has soloists dominated, with a significant role of percussion instruments.
Semantic functions of the magic flutein chinese folktales
Authors: Li Yan  
Published: June 2023

Puspose of the article. The relevance of the study makes necessary the characterization of the semantic functions of a flute formed in Chinese fairy tales, in order to determine their significance in the composer’s and performing creative work of the Celestial Empire during the 20th–21st centuries at the subsequent stages of the development of the scientific thought. The aim of the paper is to determine the semantic functions of the magic flute in the structure and content of Chinese folk tales. The methodology is based on the interaction of semantic, structural and functional, typological types of the analysis, as well as the mythological and symbolic and intro- and extra-mythological approaches developed by O. H. Roshchenko [5]. Scientific novelty consists in defining: the semantic functions of the magic flute in Chinese tales (saving, protective, victorious, harmonizing, media, punishing, metamorphosed, confessional, monological; repositories of the sacred knowledge, the awakening of a love feeling, the voice of love; a magic item); characteristic plot motifs (making an instrument, kidnapping (abducting) a bride / a sister, searching for her, going to the other world, defeating the evil, liberation, restoring the world harmony), that are formed into a holistic magical story using a magical musical instrument. Conclusions. In a Chinese folk tale, the magic flute appears as a magical musical instrument with a dreamy, sacrificial female soul, natural mind, and a thirst for helping people. The time-space range of a flute confession in Chinese tales is endless. The mission of the flute is to sing the deeds of heroes, to be a living embodiment of the people’s memory. Chinese fairy tales about the magic flute are characterized by interplot connections, the law of displacement when the components of one fairy tale move to another. As a result of the analysis of the research material, it is proposed to provide an independent substantive status to Chinese fairy tales about the magic flute.

The trends of modern directing in the opera art of Ukraine
Authors: Vovkun Vasyl 
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze the trends of modern directing in the opera art of Ukraine. Methodology. The methodology of the research is based on an interdisciplinary approach, which allows us to use the achievements of musicology and theatre studies. The following methods are used in the research: a comparative method ( to compare the director's productions of opera performances of the past and present periods in Ukraine); a historical one (to analyze the emergence of a number of contradictions in the development of the opera genre and the emergence of the dominant opera directing over the conductor's interpretation of a musical work at the beginning of the XXI century); an analysis (to highlight the basic ethical and aesthetic approaches of modern directing in the productions of opera performances). Scientific Novelty. The scientific novelty of the research is to highlight the main trends and contradictions in the direction of opera in Ukraine at the beginning of the XXI century. Conclusions. Thus, the reformism in the European opera genre belongs to the director. The Opera Theatre in Ukraine is experiencing a stage of «awakening» in the context of the European opera experimentation, which is manifested in the new approaches of directors to the embodiment of opera stage performance. In this context, the main methods are the actualization of the plot, which involves the transfer of opera in the modern era, increasing metaphor, illusory, eclecticism, cinema, performance. The director’s philosophy is the extreme subjectivism, a metaphysical understanding of creative freedom, and revisionism of the narratives of classical works in the form of new directorial versions of famous performances.
