International Conference ‘Roman Ivanchenko Scientific School’
No full textThe aim of the conference ‘Roman Ivanchenko Scientific school’ is a professional discussion of current issues, discussions of professional and educational issues, fostering young scientists. From 2009 to 2016 it acquired the status of the International Ukrainian conference. It was visited not only by Ukrainian scholars from nearly 30 universities ofUkraine, but also by scholars from abroad, includingGermany,Poland,Belarus. In addition to Ph.D’s and professors, scientific presentations at the conference recite graduated masters and bachelors.
The sections of the conference cover the history and theory of publishing and editing, topical issues of Ukrainian books publishing, culture publications, personalities of Ukrainian books publishing, especially mass modern communication, new technologies in the preparation of media products, editing different types of books, advertising and PR communications in printing, publishing, books distribution, the issue of education for future editors, journalists etc. Each year, the conference marked the memory of the great scientist R. H. Ivanchenko with dedication and thematic round tables.
Conference proceedings are published in printed/electronic form. The books are presented during the conference and there are performances by guests — practitioners publishers, writers and journalists.
The conference ‘Roman Ivanchenko Scientific school’ is a powerful tool of scientific and educational communication, because of discussing, systematizing, summarizing materials, scientific findings and research results, emerging circle of associates, who generated new ideas, projects, interdisciplinary ideas and so on. The conference is characterized by urgency, informative, debatable, creative collaboration etc., promotes new ideas, knowledge, and discoveries in the field.
An important thing in format of conference is a senior research co-generation of talented young people (students work on scientific articles under the guidance of Ph.D’s, performances of students for authoritative audience), exchange of experience, ‘master classes’ in the flesh
Data and platform co-ops in smart city citizenship: interview with Igor Calzada
No full textIgor Calzada is a senior researcher at universities like Oxford and Cardiff with a focus on urban, regional and technopolitical transformations, considering data issues and social innovation. In November 2020, he launched the book Smart City Citizenship, which proposes another framework at smart cities based on democratic governance and citizenship. Thus, he presents how it is possible to understand and intervene in technopolitical disputes involving algorithms, data, and artificial intelligence based on notions such as digital sovereignty. Among the possibilities, there is the creation of data and platform co-ops based on data and digital commons. For the author, data cooperatives are a subtype of platform cooperatives, in which they focus on business models, while data co-ops share and store data. The book analyzes, among other cases, the Barcelona ecosystem and proposes perspectives for public policies. Currently, Calzada is interested in exploring new models of data governance and artificial intelligence to propose alternative ways to data ecosystems in the European scenario. He defends experimental cities as a reaction to the mainstream idea of the city as a platform, as a reproduction of extractive and panoptic practices through hyperconnectivity. But it will be very difficult in a dangerous context. And he provokes: “how, in the current context, in which we are closed in our homes, can we propose cities with open systems? Other recommendations from the author are an article on platform and data co-ops published in Sustainability journal and a conversation in Spanish about social innovation in smart cities.

Piano works by Igor Stravinsky
No full textIn my work I thought was right at first a brief outline development work of Igor Stravinsky. I also tried to "map out" the emergence of some major piano works by the author. finally, I added a few notes on the piano interpretive art of Igor Stravinsky
Introduzione a Igor Spanò (a cura di) Il Teatro e la festa. Il tempio, la piazza, la scena
No full textPer tre giorni gli studiosi che sono intervenuti al Convegno hanno riflettuto sul senso e sulle funzioni, sulle pratiche cultuali e rituali, sui luoghi che hanno definito nel corso del tempo i momenti della festa e sulle forme di rappresentazione agonistica (danze, corse, gare, giochi di abilità) o drammatica - di cui erano parte essenziale la musica e il canto - che, spesso intrinsecamente, li accompagnano. L'autore nella sua introduzione esamina le sfumature di significato che racchiude il termine utsava, “festa”, “gioia” in sanscrito.For three days the scholars who spoke at the conference reflected on the meaning and functions, on the cult and ritual practices, on the places that have defined the moments of the celebration over time and on the forms of competitive representation (dances, races, competitions, skill games) or dramatic - of which music and singing were an essential part - which, often intrinsically, accompany them. In his introduction, the author examines the nuances of meaning contained in the term utsava, "feast", "joy" in Sanskrit
To the question of action on the rods lying on elastic foundation, inertial load with a variable speed of its movement
No full textA method for calculating the rods on elastic foundation under the inertial load action when it moves at a variable speed is proposed. Test problems about a force or load movement with variable speeds along a hinged beam and about the movement with a high-speed railway car deceleration along a track section modeled by a hinged supported beam of great length on an elastic foundation are considered. The selection of the elastic foundation material of the rail track determines the dynamics of the high-speed railway car in different modes of its movement. To construct the methodology, the previously proposed by the author of the article solutions are used: a step-by-step procedure for solving the problems of unsteady dynamics of structures and the method of “nodal accelerations” to take into account the action on structures of a moving inertial load
Small immunological clocks identified by deep learning and gradient boosting
No full textBackground: The aging process affects all systems of the human body, and the observed increase in inflammatory components affecting the immune system in old age can lead to the development of age-associated diseases and systemic inflammation. Results: We propose a small clock model SImAge based on a limited number of immunological biomarkers. To regress the chronological age from cytokine data, we first use a baseline Elastic Net model, gradient-boosted decision trees models, and several deep neural network architectures. For the full dataset of 46 immunological parameters, DANet, SAINT, FT-Transformer and TabNet models showed the best results for the test dataset. Dimensionality reduction of these models with SHAP values revealed the 10 most age-associated immunological parameters, taken to construct the SImAge small immunological clock. The best result of the SImAge model shown by the FT-Transformer deep neural network model has mean absolute error of 6.94 years and Pearson ρ = 0.939 on the independent test dataset. Explainable artificial intelligence methods allow for explaining the model solution for each individual participant. Conclusions: We developed an approach to construct a model of immunological age based on just 10 immunological parameters, coined SImAge, for which the FT-Transformer deep neural network model had proved to be the best choice. The model shows competitive results compared to the published studies on immunological profiles, and takes a smaller number of features as an input. Neural network architectures outperformed gradient-boosted decision trees, and can be recommended in the further analysis of immunological profiles
DigiTranScope: the governance of digitally-transformed society
No full textThis volume presents the key outcomes and research findings of the Digitranscope research project of the European Commission Joint Research Centre. The project set out to explore during the period 2017-2020 the challenges and opportunities that the digital transformation is posing to the governance of society. We focused our attention on the governance of data as a key aspect to understand and shape the governance of society. Data is a key resource in the digital economy, and control over the way it is generated, collected, aggregated, and value is extracted and distributed in society is crucial. We have explored the increasing awareness about the strategic importance of data and emerging governance models to distribute the value generated more equitably in society. These findings have contributed to the new policy orientation in Europe on technological and data sovereignty and the sharing of data for the public interest. The digital transformation, the rise of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things offer also new opportunities for new forms of policy design, implementation, and assessment providing more personalised support to those who need it and being more participative throughout the policy cycle. The use of digital twins, gaming, simulation, and synthetic data are just at their beginning but promise to change radically the relationships among all the stakeholders in governance of our society
Tõrked Eesti venekeelse kirjanduse omaks tunnistamisel 1918–1940. Igor Severjanini juhtum
No full textThe article looks at the history of Estonian Russian-language literature in the young Republic of Estonia (1918–1940) and the life and work of the Russian-speaking poet Igor Severyanin (1887–1941) from the perspective of Estonian literature. In 1918, Severyanin, as a mature author, moved permanently from Russia to Estonia. Gradually, he developed a hybrid identity: he became fond of Estonia and wrote in Russian. However, his works have been omitted from the Estonian literary history.
The article sets out the following hypotheses:
1) Estonian Russian-language literature from 1918 to 1940 has not become part of Estonian literature of that period, as its acceptance is hindered by various cultural-historical barriers for literary researchers. The main barriers have been highlighted by means of source criticism.
2) Igor Severyanin’s life and work serve to situate him as a representative of Estonian literature. Terms such as integration and identity were not used in his day, but Severyanin’s personal and creative choices help to understand, retrospectively, that it was important for him to live in Estonia, write poetry inspired by local material, interact with Estonian-speaking colleagues, remain connected with Estonian public and cultural institutions. I have approached Severyanin’s case through the identity theory (the work of John Charles Turner and Homi Bhabha), as well as Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of the literary field.
Both hypotheses were confirmed in the article. However, the values of modern multicultural society dictate that the discussion of Estonian literary history should include the Russian-speaking authors of the interwar period. Currently, there are gaps in Estonian literary history regarding these authors. Filling these gaps would mean overcoming the cultural-historical barriers
Compositions of Igor Stravinsky for Violin
No full textThe topic of my thesis is life and work of Igor Stravinsky with norrow focus on compositions for violin. I give greater emphasis to compositions Concerto in D for Violin and Orchestra and the Italian suite with which I have personal experience. Igor Stravinsky composed most of the compositions in the 1930th in cooperation with the violinist Samuel Duskin. Only a few of them are completely original works. The author often used musical themes from his own previously composed ballets, such as the The Firebird, Petrushka, The Soldier's Tale, Pulcinella, or Fairy's Kiss.
Composer Igor Stravinsky is certainly a controversial figure. Though essentially a pragmatist, he was always directed more by instinct while creating music. I would like to present to not only violinists interesting circumstances of compositions, even though is still little available informations
POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY from Igor Okunev
No full textWho has the exact sovereignty to every particular piece of territory, water or air space on our planet? What is the status and the relationship between the states, political entities, dependent territories, international organizations and supranational unions? What is the true meaning of the term’s territorial identity, spatial identity and the political geography? It is with these questions that Igor Okunev opens his passionate plea of why we should care about the geo-politics or Political Geography as he names it. Contrary to popular belief, the author argues, "the spatiality of politics is determined by factors beyond objective ones.
