    The paper is a brief account of the events of the past 20 years, which have been essential for the fate of the Veps, and brought the author, who found herself in the very heart of the processes of Vepsian language and culture revival, to the idea of creating the epic. Can one create an epic in the language of a people (Vepsians in our case) whose memory has preserved no epic-style pieces of literature, no large oral literary forms, whose folklore heritage is not so rich, the nation itself is a minority, and its language is already red-listed? Or should one? Writing the work was a chance to retrieve from the people’s memory many facts, real or imaginary events, rituals, customs and legends, melodious idioms and sayings, which might help revitalise the people, its language and culture. The paper demonstrates the folklore and mythological background of the epic, represents and substantiates the key aspects of the style poetics, its folk heritage roots

    Purpose of Article. The aim of the study is to give reasons for the American musical's process of formation as a special variety of show forms, the historical aspect of this form, the definition of genre signs of musical and their features. Methodology. Research methodology consists in applying analytical, functional, comparative and art studying, systematic research methods of the American musical's role in stage art, the study of these show forms origins and their importance in modern theatre. Scentific novelty. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the assertion that the general trend of theatrical forms since the late 80s of the last century gave reasons for increasing of the theatricality role in the socio-cultural reality. Conclusion. As a result of the research it can be concluded the following: firstly, the Broadway musical with its brilliance, imagination, rhythmic tact became a special commodity, recognized and admired throughout the world, although its forms were borrowed from many sources; secondly, since the late 80s of the last century an idea of a fancy, carnival nature of social life and the means of its reproduction became popular among Western theorists; thirdly, "Black crook" paved the way for musical to the American scene, launching tradition of luxury entertainment spectacles with various stage effects and dance numbers; fourthly – the most attention was paid to the creation of bright numbers in the structure of the musical comedy score, they were inserted on the advice of artists and kept a strong impression on the audience. According to this the role of the composer-songwriter was growing; fifthly, at the beginning of the XIX century the USA became a centre of musical comedies instead of the Old World. Broadway turned to the capital of the world show business, and gradually musical was turning into a leading genre; and finally – the question of the current state of the classic American genre of the musical theatre periodically rises for producers and critics. It causes debates, generates various predictions about the continued existence of traditional Broadway show, including pessimistic ones.Целью работы является обоснование процесса становления американского мюзикла как особой разновидности зрелищных форм, исторического аспекта данной формы, определения особенностей жанровых признаков мюзикла. Методология исследования заключается в применении аналитического, функционального, сравнительного, искусство- ведческого, системного методов исследования роли американского мюзикла в сценическом искусстве, истоков зрелищно-развлекательных форм и их значения в современном театральном искусстве. Научная новизна исследования за- ключается в утверждении, что общая тенденция театрализации с конца 80-х годов прошлого века дала основания для роста роли театральности в социокультурной реальности. Выводы. Во-первых, бродвейский мюзикл, с его блеском, фантазией, ритмическим тактом, стал особым товаром, который признали и которым восхищались во всем мире, хотя форма его заимствована из многих источников; во-вторых, с конца 80-х годов прошлого века среди западных теоретиков приобрела популярность идея о маскарадном, карнавальном характере общественной жизни и средств его воспроизве- дения; в-третьих, "Черный плут" проложил путь мюзиклу на американской сцене, положив начало традиции роскошных развлекательных зрелищ с применением различных сценических эффектов и использованием танцевальных номеров; четвертый, именно созданию ярких номеров уделяли главное внимание в структуре партитуры музыкальной комедии, вставляли их по совету исполнителей, поскольку они производили впечатление на зрителей. Соответственно, возраста- ла роль композитора-песенника; в-пятых, в начале XIX века центром создания музыкальных комедий вместо Старого Света становится Америка. Бродвей превращается в столицу мирового шоу-бизнеса, а мюзикл – на ведущий жанр; и последнее, вопрос о современном состоянии классического американского жанра мюзикла периодически возникает перед театральными продюсерами и критиками. Он вызывает дискуссии, порождает различные прогнозы относительно дальнейшего существования традиционного бродвейского шоу, в том числе пессимистичные.Метою роботи є обґрунтування процесу становлення американського мюзиклу як особливого різновиду видовищних форм, історичного аспекту даної форми, визначення особливостей жанрових ознак мюзиклу. Методологія полягає у застосуванні аналітичного, функціонального, порівняльного, мистецтвознавчого, системного методів дослідження ролі американського мюзиклу, витоків видовищно-розважальних форм та їх значення у сучасному театральному мистецтві. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у ствердженні, що загальна тенденція театралізації з кінця 80-х років минулого століття дала підстави для зростання ролі театральності у соціокультурній реальності. Висновки: По-перше, бродвейський мюзикл, з його блиском, фантазією, ритмічним тактом, став особливим товаром, який визнали і яким захоплювалися у всьому світі, хоча його форма запозичена з багатьох джерел; по-друге, з кінця 80-х років минулого століття серед західних теоретиків набули популярності ідея про маскарадний, карнавальний характер суспільного життя і засоби його відтворення; по-третє, "Чорний шахрай" проклав шлях мюзиклу на американській сцені, започаткувавши традицію розкішних розважальних видовищ із за- стосуванням різних сценічних ефектів та використанням танцювальних номерів; вчетверте, саме створенню яскравих номе- рів приділяли головну увагу в структурі партитури музичної комедії, вставляли їх за порадою виконавців, оскільки вони спра- вляли найбільше враження на глядачів. Відповідно, зростала роль композитора-пісняра; по-п`яте, на початку XIX ст. центром створення музичних комедій замість Старого Світу стає Америка. Бродвей перетворюються на столицю світового шоу- бизнесу, а мюзикл – на провідний жанр; і останнє, питання про сучасний стан класичного американського жанру мюзиклу періодично постає перед театральними продюсерами і критиками. Воно викликає дискусії, породжує різні прогнози щодо подальшого існування традиційного бродвейського шоу, зокрема песимістичні

    Get PDF
    The Pan-Eurasian Experiment (PEEX) program was initiated as a bottom-up approach by the researchers coming from Finland and Russia in October 2012. The PEEX China kick off meeting was held in November 2013. During its five years in operation, the program has established a governance structure and delivered a science plan for the Northern Eurasian region. PEEX has also introduced a concept design for a modelling platform and ground-based in situ observation systems for detecting land-atmosphere and ocean-atmosphere interactions. Today, PEEX has an extensive researcher’s network representing research communities coming from the Nordic countries, Russia and China. PEEX is currently carrying out its research activities on a project basis, but is looking for more coordinated funding bases, especially in Russia and in China. The near-future challenge in implementing the PEEX research agenda is to achieve a successful integration and identification of the methodological approaches of the socio-economic research to environmental sciences. Here we give insight into these issues and provide an overview on the main tasks for the upcoming years.The Pan-Eurasian Experiment (PEEX) program was initiated as a bottom-up approach by the researchers coming from Finland and Russia in October 2012.

    A multiphase flow in the antroduodenum: some results of the mathematical modelling and computational simulation

    No full text
    This work is devoted to a problem of creation of a multiphase flow model in an antroduodenum that includes the lower part of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum). The mathematical model is developed for the next purposes: description of the process of digestion in normal physiological state and with functional disorders, prediction of the flow characteristics in distinct conditions. The antroduodenum is considered as a complex form canal with moving boundaries. The mathematical statement of the problem includes mass and momentum conservation equations for phases and components as well as initial and boundary conditions with peristaltic movement. To describe secretion and absorption processes we use mass sources/sinks in a layer adjacent to the tract wall. Using computational simulation we got the digestion processes characteristics in dynamic: pH of the medium, components and phases velocities and fractions. In some scenarios with secretory and motor disorders we identified zones of abnormal acidity. The results of the simulation showed that motor functionality of the antrum and pyloric sphincter affect the stomach evacuation. Additionally, the chemical absorption rate is analyzed in scenarios with distinct food parameters (size, viscosity, density)

    Abstract. A growing priority in the study of Baltic-Finnic languages of the Republic of Karelia has been the methods and tools of corpus linguistics. Since 2016, linguists, mathematicians, and programmers at the Karelian Research Centre have been working with the Open Corpus of the Veps and Karelian Languages (VepKar), which is an extension of the Veps Corpus created in 2009. The VepKar corpus comprises texts in Karelian and Veps, multifunctional dictionaries linked to them, and software with an advanced system of search using various criteria of the texts (language, genre, etc.) and numerous linguistic categories (lexical and grammatical search in texts was implemented thanks to the generator of word forms that we created earlier). A corpus of 3000 texts was compiled, texts were uploaded and marked up, the system for classifying texts into languages, dialects, types and genres was introduced, and the word-form generator was created. Future plans include developing a speech module for working with audio recordings and a syntactic tagging module using morphological analysis outputs. Owing to continuous functional advancements in the corpus manager and ongoing VepKar enrichment with new material and text markup, users can handle a wide range of scientific and applied tasks. In creating the universal national VepKar corpus, its developers and managers strive to preserve and exhibit as fully as possible the state of the Veps and Karelian languages in the 1
