Compensatory Aestheticism of Performance of Expressionist Compositions for Piano by A. Schoenberg and A. Berg
Authors: Androsova Daria 
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this paper is to analyse piano compositions by A. Schoenberg (Six pieces, Op. 19) and A. Berg (Sonata, Op. 1) in the context of a performance reading based on the symbolist aestheticism of expressing the reviving string-plucking analogy of the keyboard-piano expression. The methodological basis is the intonation approach of B. Asafiev’s school in the works of Ukrainian musicologists, including T. Verkina, O. Kozarenko, I. Lyashenko, O. Markova, O. Sokol and others, using research methods of comparative-stylistic, hermeneutical, biographical-descriptive, and analytical-typological. The scientific novelty lies in the originality of the observation of the compensatory aestheticism of the performance perspective of the above music by A. Schoenberg and A. Berg and the correspondence of the latter to the neo-symbolist tendencies of contemporary creative thinking. Another independent conclusion is the nature of this performing choice, which meets the audience's expectations and is correlated with the game-mosaic worldview of our time to exclude dramatic and tragic angles of the content of the musical classics. Conclusions. The neo-symbolist eclecticism of the post-avant-garde revived the keyboard string-plucking analogy in piano sound production, giving pianistic expression a salon-like spiritualised "lightness" that reoriented the expressionist-salon tendencies of the piano heritage of the Novovidenians to a compensatory aestheticism of pro-symbolist meaning. The reality of performing compositions by A. Schoenberg and A. Berg is that the music of their works, including those performed by the author of this essay, approaches the character of salon cordiality of sound, which rejects expressionist anti-aestheticism in favour of pro-Schubertian greetings of the post-post-avant-garde.
Key words: aestheticism, compensatory musical expression, symbolism, expressionism, style in music, performance style, musical genre.

To achieve the goal, a set of methods was used: general scientific – analysis, synthesis, generalization, which were used to clarify the state of elaboration of the problem of music and dance synthesis in performances; concrete-scientific – comparative and structural analysis used to distinguish the main dance companies and features of performances; historical-genetic and retrospective, which were used to clarify certain historical aspects of the research problem; a biographical method that made it possible to consider the figure of famous performance art creators. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the domestic research area, modern performances that demonstrate the synthesis of music and dance were considered. Conclusions. The publication proves that the synthesis of music and dance is a powerful form of artistic expression that allows creating a unique and exciting experience for the audience. A dynamic, interactive event that integrally combines music and dance is a performance. It is found that the innovative performances that combine music and dance belong to the American choreographer Twyla Tharp. Collaborating with a wide range of musicians, artists, Tharp creates works (“Preludes and Fugues”, “Times Change”) that synthesize music and dance to create movement that is directly inspired by the rhythms and melodies of music. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater with the performance “Grace” became a powerful innovative practice that combines the emotional depth of musical accompaniment and technical dance skill.
Key words: synthesis, music, dance, performance, synthesis of music and dance.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of the work is to describe and highlight the artistic and creative activities of the Meiningen Theatre and the professional skill and creativity of Ludwig Kroneck's directing mechanisms. The research methodology is to apply the art historical method for a comprehensive study and understanding of all components of the nature of stage creativity and directorial activity of the Meiningen theatre of the corresponding period, its artistic and aesthetic value. The structural method and a systematic approach in combination with the historical method are used for a thorough study of the creative experience of the Meiningen theatre and its directing, analysis of the characteristic differences in artistic activity. The functional method helped to analyse the essentially practical component of the imaginative and creative process, pragmatic characteristics of the theatre ensemble and director's explications of the German Meiningen Theatre of the second half of the nineteenth century. The analytical method was applied for considering the essence of the techniques and means of practical implementation of an artistic work, its transformation into a stage reality with the help of special professional methods and means of ideological and emotional expression. The scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive analysis of Ludwig Kroneck's creative skills, the creativity of his theatre directing mechanisms and the significance of the master's professional experience for the stage professional process of contemporary theatre. Conclusions. The PR experience of L. Kronek, director and manager of the Meiningen Theatre in the second half of the nineteenth century, impresses today with its expediency in the theatrical process of stage creativity, namely: the master’s innovations in solving mass scenes of productions, performing role material by each performer with the help of all means and skills of high artistry The integrity of all methods of building a synthetic artistic and figurative stage canvas was achieved by the artist due to the complex skills of the director's ideas – light, scenery, mise-en-scene and performance of the acting ensemble. Modern theatre directing, as always, is in a constant process of inventing the latest original solutions for creating a stage form, figurative, and associative disclosure of a dramatic work as an artistic form of theatre. In their aspirations, the artists of the Melpomene stage should not forget the fruitful experience of their predecessors, who stood at the origins of the profession of directing as the main creator of visual and entertainment performance.

Interest in storable ecologically friendly propellant has increased recently. One of the reasons for that is convenience in storage, handle and delivery. The most interesting storable propellant for launch vehicles is high-test peroxide with kerosene. A few companies are engaged in development of small launch vehicle on this propellant. Moreover, European Space Agency announced a tender for the development of the engine which runs on the high-test peroxide. Taking these circumstances into account, researches focused on these engines become more relevant.One of the best features of this propellant is a high density and high propellant mixture ratio. Taking into account that for the full burning of kerosene eight times more hydrogen peroxide is needed, traditional cooling with fuel becomes difficult. That is why the other ways to arrange cooling be found. One of the most evident ways of solving this task is to use oxidizer as a coolant. High-test peroxide has a few advantages such as high specific heat capacity, high density and thermal conductivity, but using it as a coolant is connected with difficulties. Material for combustion chamber should be chosen properly because it should be compatible with peroxide and temperature of inner wall must not be higher than temperature of high-test peroxide decomposition. Though, there were engines which were cooled with high-test peroxide (Gamma 2, AR-2), but there are no definite recommendations about designing such a combustion chambers. This article threats peculiarities of cooling combustion chamber of rocket engine, which runs on high-test peroxide and kerosene. Method of cooling combustion chamber with hydrogen peroxide is considered in the article. Design calculations of engine with thrust level 250 kg have been made. Designed engine have been manufactured and fired for a few times. Experimental data have been compared with calculations and recommendations on how to arrange cooling of combustion chamber with hydrogen peroxide have been given. Also, conclusions about the advantages of rocket engines which run on high-test peroxide and kerosene have been made in comparison with ones which utilize liquid oxygen as an oxidizer.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: A soft pneumatic muscle was developed to replicate intricate ankle motions essential for rehabilitation, with a specific focus on rotational movement along the x-axis, crucial for walking. The design incorporated precise geometrical parameters and air pressure regulation to enable controlled expansion and motion.Methods: The muscle’s response was evaluated under pressure conditions ranging from 100-145 kPa. To optimize the muscle design, finite element simulation was employed to analyze its performance in terms of motion range, force generation, and energy efficiency. An experimental platform was created to assess the muscle’s deformation, utilizing advanced techniques such as high-resolution imaging and deep-learning position estimation models for accurate measurements. The fabrication process involved silicone-based materials and 3D-printed molds, enabling precise control and customization of muscle expansion and contraction.Results: The experimental results demonstrated that, under a pressure of 145 kPa, the y-axis deformation (y-def) reached 165 mm, while the x-axis and z-axis deformations were significantly smaller at 0.056 mm and 0.0376 mm, respectively, highlighting the predominant elongation in the y-axis resulting from pressure actuation. The soft muscle model featured a single chamber constructed from silicone rubber, and the visually illustrated and detailed geometrical parameters played a critical role in its functionality, allowing systematic manipulation to meet specific application requirements.Discussion: The simulation and experimental results provided compelling evidence of the soft muscle design’s adaptability, controllability, and effectiveness, thus establishing a solid foundation for further advancements in ankle rehabilitation and soft robotics. Incorporating this soft muscle into rehabilitation protocols holds significant promise for enhancing ankle mobility and overall ambulatory function, offering new opportunities to tailor rehabilitation interventions and improve motor function restoration.

Published: September 2023

BackgroundLeft bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is an emerging physiological pacing modality. Left ventricular (LV) myocardial work (MW) incorporates afterload and LV global longitudinal strain to estimate global and segmental myocardial contractility. However, the effect of LBBP on LV MW remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of LBBP on LV MW in patients receiving pacemaker for bradyarrhythmia.MethodsWe prospectively enrolled 70 bradycardia patients with normal LV systolic function receiving LBBP (n = 46) and non-selective His-bundle pacing (NS-HBP) (n = 24). For comparative analysis, patients receiving right ventricular pacing (RVP) (n = 16) and control subjects (n = 10) were enrolled. Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography was performed. The LV pressure-strain loop was non-invasively constructed to assess global LV MW.ResultsAfter 6-month follow-up, LBBP group (with &gt;40% ventricular pacing during 6 months) had shorter peak strain dispersion (PSD) compared with RVP group, and higher LV global longitudinal strain compared with RVP group and NS-HBP group, but had no difference in left intraventricular mechanical dyssynchrony, including septal-to-posterior wall motion delay and PSD, compared with NS-HBP group. During ventricular pacing, LBBP group had higher global MW index (GWI) (2,189 ± 527 vs. 1,493 ± 799 mmHg%, P = 0.002), higher global constructive work (GCW) (2,921 ± 771 vs. 2,203 ± 866 mmHg%, P = 0.009), lower global wasted work (GWW) (211 ± 161 vs. 484 ± 281 mmHg%, P &lt; 0.001) and higher global MW efficiency (GWE) (91.4 ± 5.0 vs. 80.9 ± 8.3%, P &lt; 0.001) compared with RVP group, and had lower GWW (211 ± 161 vs. 406 ± 234 mmHg%, P &lt; 0.001) and higher GWE (91.4 ± 5.0 vs. 86.4 ± 8.1%, P &lt; 0.001) compared with NS-HBP group.ConclusionsIn this study we found that in patients with mid-term (6-month) high ventricular pacing burden (&gt;40%), LBBP preserved more LV MW compared with NS-HBP and RVP. Further studies are warranted to assess the association between LV MW and long-term clinical outcomes in LBBP with high ventricular pacing burden.
The prevalence of careless response behaviour and its consequences on data quality in self-report questionnaires on student learning

Published: September 2023

IntroductionSelf-report questionnaires are widely used in high schools and universities to gain insights into students’ learning strategies and enhance the quality of their education. However, it is important to acknowledge the possibility of respondents being inattentive when completing these questionnaires. While reliability analyses are typically performed at the group level, when providing individual feedback, it is crucial that each respondent’s results are reliable. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of careless response behaviour in a questionnaire concerning student learning.MethodsData analysis encompassed a substantial sample of 12,000+ students in their final two years of secondary education, averaging around 17 years of age. Employing five complementary detection techniques, the study identified instances of careless responding present in the questionnaire data.ResultsOur results underscore a notable prevalence of careless response behaviour among the surveyed students. Application of the five detection techniques revealed a substantial number of instances indicating inattentive responding. Furthermore, the questionnaire’s measurement scales were evaluated for reliability. The study noted the presence of carelessness but observed minimal impact on group-level results.DiscussionThe outcomes of this study hold important implications for using self-report questionnaires in education. The prevalence of careless responding emphasizes the need for scrutinizing individual responses. Despite careless responses, their influence on overall group-level data integrity seems restricted. Nonetheless, the study underscores the importance of cautiously interpreting individual-level outcomes, particularly when using these results for individual feedback.
