Nikolai Evreinov and Edith Craig as Mediums of Modernist Sensibility
No full textNikolai Evreinov (1870-1953) was a Russian playwright, director, and theorist of the theatre who played a leading part in the modernist movement of Russian theatre. Evreinov's 1911 monodrama The Theatre of the Soul (V kulisakh dushi) was staged by the Crooked Mirror theatre in St Petersburg in 1912. It was also performed in London (1915) and Rome (1929), and inspired Man Ray to create his aerograph The Theatre of the Soul (1917). In this article Alexandra Smith links Evreinov's play to Russian modernist thought shaped by the atmosphere of crisis associated with the Russo-Japanese War and the first Russian Revolution. It demonstrates that Edith Craig's production of Evreinov's play suggests that the philosophy of theatricalization of everyday life might enable modern subjects to overcome the fragmentation of modern society. Craig's use of the montage-like techniques of Evreinov's play prefigures cinematographic experiments of the 1920s and Marinetti's notion of synthetic theatre. Alexandra Smith is a Reader in Russian Studies at the University of Edinburgh and is the author of The Song of the Mockingbird: Pushkin in the Works of Marina Tsvetaeva (1994) and Montaging Pushkin: Pushkin and Visions of Modernity in Russian Twentieth-Century Poetry (2006), as well as numerous articles on Russian literature and culture.</p
The terebinth population (Pistacia mutica Fisсh. & C.A. Mey.) in the Besh-Tash valley (South-East Crimea)
No full textA comprehensive work on the study of rare and protected wood plants on the territory of the Besh-Tash valley (South-East Crimea) was carried out on the instructions of Karadag Nature Reserve administration in 2013. The Besh-Tash valley (approximate area of 15 hectares) is wedged in the territory of the Karadag reserve from the south-west side, but it is not included in its structure. This article describes the material on distribution, abundance, population structure of terebinth (Pistacia mutica) in this area. P. mutica is a Mediterranean relict species of the Tertiary period, included in the Red Books of Russia, Crimea and Ukraine. Terebinth creates rare relict plant communities (formation P. mutica) listed in the Green Book of Ukraine.
In the study area we counted all P. mutica specimens. We determined their taxation parameters, as well as characterized their locality. Based on the literature and our own research age-state classes of P. mutica were characterized for the studied population. As a result, we registered a total number of 3086 specimens of P. mutica: immature (im) – 1259 (40.8%), virginal (v) – 1054 (34.2%), young generative (g1) – 341 (11.0%), middle-age generative (g2) – 372 (12.0%), mature generative (g3) – 60 (2.0%) plants. Senile plants have not been found out. So the age spectrum of the population is normal, not complete (without senile individuals), left-sided with predominance of immature plants. The population density is 206 specimens/ha.
In the Besh-Tash valley P. mutica forms its own dense thickets or it is the component of hemixerophytical oak forests with Quercus pubescens, Juniperus deltoides, rarer Cornus mas, Sorbus torminalis. It also grows in shrub communities with Pyrus elaeagrifolia, Paliurus spina-christi, Prunus spinosa, Rosa corymbifera, Cotoneaster tauricus, Crataegus species, rarer Cotinus coggygria, Clematis vitalba.
The distribution of the terebinth tree by elevation above sea level is analyzed. The great majority of the P. mutica population (97%) in the Besh-Tash valley is concentrated at an elevation of 30–120 m above sea level, so under the most favourable conditions, although some trees grow at an elevation of 173 m above sea level. The great majority of generative plants of P. mutica in the Besh-Tash valley have one trunk (73.8%). They are in a good state, (2.5–8.0 (10.0) m high and a trunk diameter to 32.0 cm). Trees with two or more trunks are also well developed, they have no evidence of anthropogenic damage. These facts may indicate favourable conditions for the growth of P. mutica in the area. The oldest trees are: 210 (h=10.0 m; d=32.0 cm), 200 (h=8.0 m; d=29.5 cm) and 190 (h=8.0 m; d=28.0 cm) years old. They are in a good state. We have also noted another 32 trees older than 100 years. In order to preserve the P. mutica population, its monitoring should be carried out in this area; besides, the oldest trees should be counted for the regular assessment of their phytosanitary status in future

Aim: Clarify and compare young people’s awareness of illicit drugs and the consequences of their use.
Hypothesis: Young people who study in secondary schools are better informed about illicit drugs and the consequences of their use than young people who study in vocational education institutions.
Methods: The research used a quantitative research method, a non-experimental cross-sectional comparative study. In order to achieve the goal of the research, the survey method was chosen with the questionnaire created by the author of the work. The questionnaire consisted of 19 questions, which were divided into three parts. The survey of research participants took place in the period from January 25, 2024 to April 1, 2024 in X comprehensive secondary school and Y vocational education institution.
Results: 110 respondents from various educational institutions participated in the study. The respondents were divided into two groups according to their educational institutions. The first group consisted of young people studying in X general secondary school, while the second group consisted of young people studying in Y vocational education institution. According to the results of the survey on the respondents' awareness, it was concluded that the respondents of both groups are familiar with the term drug addiction, the difference between legal and illegal narcotic substances. However, the respondents of the first group are slightly better acquainted with the effects of illegal drugs and the consequences of their use than the respondents of the second group.
Conclusions: There is a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) between the awareness scores of the respondents of the two groups. The obtained results show that the respondents of the first group show the highest average level of awareness (M=81.1) than the respondents of the second group (M=73.2).

Effect of thermomechanical treatment modes on the features of heterophase and grain structure, and mechanical properties of V–Cr–Zr–Ta alloy
No full textEffect of modes of thermomechanical treatments on structural-phase states and mechanical properties of V–Cr–Zr–W-system alloys
No full textThermomechanical treatment influence on microstructure and mechanical properties of V-W-Cr alloy
No full textThe results of studying the microstructure and mechanical properties of the V-W-Cr alloy after different regimes of thermomechanical treatment are presented. It is shown that the use of the modified regime promotes the formation of a more uniform grain structure, which provides an increase in strength properties at room temperature by more than 10%. Analysis and comparison of the results showed that the thermal stability and the level of strength properties of V-Me(Cr, W)-Zr(C, O, N)-system alloys are mainly provided by the effects of disperse strengthening with stable Zr-based particles
Features of plastic deformation and fracture of a dispersion-strengthened V-4Ti-4Cr-(C, N, O) alloy at different temperatures
No full textUsing the methods of transmission and scanning electron microscopy, the defect substructure of a V–4Ti–4Cr–(C, N, O) alloy dispersion strengthened with nanosized oxicarbonitride particles and the features of its fracture after deformation via active tensile loading at the temperatures 20 and 800°C are investigated. It is shown that the most representative features of deformation at the elevated temperature is primarily activation of grain-boundary mechanisms of deformation and fracture and secondly strain localization accompanied by crystal-lattice re-orientation. The reasons for these phenomena are discussed
Investigation of features of plastic deformation and fracture of fine-crystalline V-4Ti-4Cr alloy

No full textA comparative study of the effectiveness of carbide and oxide types of strengthening of V–Cr–Zr alloy was carried out by means of a comprehensive certification of structural-phase state parameters and measuring the mechanical properties characteristics. It has been shown that the use of chemical-heat treatment contributes to a significant increase in the thermal stability of the microstructure and mechanical properties of V–Cr–Zr alloy in comparison with carbide strengthening under the conditions of thermomechanical treatment. A controlled increase in the volume fraction of fine particles based on ZrO2, along with an increase in the concentration of oxygen in the solid solution, leads to a decrease in the rate of oxides coagulation and an increase in the thermal stability of high disperse heterophase structure. These effects contribute to the retention of high defect structural states with nonzero values of crystal lattice curvature even after high-temperature (0.67 Tmelt) anneals. The high efficiency of dispersion and substructural strengthening is a consequence of blocking dislocation slip by fine particles stabilized by oxygen in a solid solution
