Географические загадки силлаборитмического варьирования 5-сложников в пределах славяно-балтского раннетрадиционного меломассива

The object of the study by Ukrainian ethnomusicologist Iryna Klymenko (Iрина Клименко) are 5-complex rhythmic formulas, which are used in ritual melodies of Ukrainians, Belorusians, Poles, Lithuanians. The material for the study was ca. 5.000 melodies of wedding, winter (carols), spring cycles, which contain 5-complex figures. The author studies the differences in the variation of 5-syllabic group, which depends on various factors: from (a) the genre, (b) from the type of the verse formula: monorhythmic V55 or heterotrhythmic V553, V557, etc., (c) from its localization. A large range of rhythmic options is reduced to two key algorithms. The variants are applied to the geographic maps, after which the obtained habitats are compared. By this publication, the author expects to draw the attention of the scientific community to complex typological-geographical plexuses taking place in the large rituals of the song massifs of the Slavic-Baltic early-tradiation melodical massive.Key words: the Slavic-Baltic early-tradition melodical massive, ritual tunes, wedding songs, carols (kolyadky), arealogy, rhythmic variations, 5-syllabic group.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/td.v13i0.169

Investigation of Residual Bearing Capacity of Inclined Sections of Damaged Reinforced Concrete Beams

The article reports on the results of the numerical and the laboratory tests to determine the effect of concrete damages near support areas in compressed zone of the reinforced concrete beams on their residual bearing capacity of inclined sections. According to the experimental plan, 15 single-span freely supported experimental samples with dimensions of 100×200×1200 mm made with different artificial damages within the shear span aν (1d, 2d, and 3d) were tested. The numerical test of prototypes was performed in software complex LIRA-SAPR 2017. The results of laboratory and numerical experiments showed good convergence regarding the bearing capacity, however, the nature of the fracture in samples B11-B14 did not match. Empirical - conducting laboratory experiments on samples using modern methods of measurement; numerical modelling – using software complex LIRA-SAPR 2017; analysis and statistical processing of the obtained research results; comparison of the obtained results; abstraction; generalization; deduction; formulation of the main conclusions and recommendations. The analysis found that the bearing capacity decreases with increased area of damage and shear span. Conducting the calculations in software complex LIRA-SAPR allows to predict the work elements and determine the bearing capacity with good accuracy, but in comparison with the real data there still are some differences in the character of destruction

Some aspects of specific forensic examinations in respect of underage suspects

It has been emphasized that while investigating criminal offenses committed by minors, special attention is paid to the appointment of forensic examinations, in particular, comprehensive psychological and psychiatric examination and psychological examination. An investigator, a prosecutor should know which of these examinations is appropriate to appoint and what questions should be put to the expert for decision. If the questions are worded incorrectly or not fully, then this will lead to the expert’s findings, which do not help in establishing the truth and do not disclose all necessary information about juvenile suspects. Taking into account the provisions of the Art. 486 of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, we’d like to emphasize that psychological and psychiatric examination is appointed in cases where there are grounds for it, namely the determination of a juvenile suspect’s mental illness or a delay in mental development and his ability to fully or partially realize the importance of his actions and to guide them in a specific situation. If criminal proceedings materials indicate on the decrease of a minor’s level of development, as well as in order to clarify the socio-psychological traits of a minor, it is necessary to conduct psychological examination. The methodology of the research is based on a systematic approach, determined by the specifics of the article’s topic and related to the use of general and special research methods. The comparative and legal method and the method of legal analysis have been used in the study of legislative norms regulating the procedure of the appointment of forensic examinations. The formal and logical method has been used to differentiate the criteria of the subject matter of comprehensive psychological and psychiatric examination and psychological examination, which are assigned in regard to juvenile suspects

Character Speech Individualization in Charles Dickens’s Novels

The relevance of this investigation is explained by several reasons: first, the individual character of speech is one of the evidences of Charles Dickens’s geniality and it is of importance for any person writing to analyze some techniques of the genius doing it; second, the analysis of these “speeches” can help understand peculiarities of various styles and genres separately and in interaction; third, everything related to Ch. Dickens is still popular among the readers, so these examples can be of use for teaching and learning English. There are three primary aims of the present paper: to extend coverage of linguistic studies to areas of literary peculiarities; to highlight gaps in the existing literature and promising directions for future research of Charles Dickens’s language; to establish a theory-driven approach to investigating literature language by introducing a new model as a framework for this paper. Authors applied such general research methods as data collection, study of the works in allied fields on the problem of the research, analysis and synthesis of the ideas studied. The theoretical basis of the investigation integrated the main principles of linguistics, stylistics and literature studies. Ch. Dickens is incomparable in linguistic individualization, in creating a personage idiolect, a private language. According to calculations all these characters are minor, about 3 quarters of the are female and about 60% are negatively marked. The main linguistic levels involved in this process are in descending order phonological (graphemic in written form), lexical, syntactic and stylistic
