The Psychodrama Method of Group Psychotherapy

The article presents a theoretical-methodological analysis of the psychodrama method of group psychotherapy. It examines the aim, objectives, advantages, peculiarities and structure of classical psychodrama as a method of group psychotherapy. Also, the article attempts to define psychodrama as a group psychotherapy process. It studies the links between psychodrama and methods of various psychological approaches. Importantly, the article suggests a phenomenological approach to studying the interaction among the participants in psychodramatic psychotherapy groups to develop effective technologies for implementing psychodramatic techniques. It justifies the methodological and methodical essence of psychodramatic technologies in group psychotherapy, its main characteristics and goals. From the perspective of an integrative approach, psychodramatic technologies in group psychotherapy ensure the interrelation and interdependence of its psychodiagnostic and psychodevelopmental components. Meanwhile, the article considers the organizational, methodical and structural-dynamic features of using the interactive and role-playing method in group psychotherapy depending on the type of psychodrama. It shows how one can practically apply the “mirroring” psychotechnique in combination with the fairy tale metaphor (the method of enacting a fairy tale) in all types of psychodrama, along with an analysis of the advantages of its use and resourcefulness. Finally, the article discusses a methodical combination of psychodrama and transactional analysis within the “psychodramatic triangle” technique. It provides methodical recommendations for emotional disorder correction using the psychodrama method. The relevant indicators of the effectiveness and efficiency of the psychodrama method in group psychotherapy include catharsis, insight, expressions of trust and a sense of comfort in the space of group interaction and feedback, as an existing objective reality.</p

Artistic Means of Expression in the Clothing Collections of Ukrainian Designers in 2009–2019

The purpose of the article is to identify and analyse the most characteristic artistic means of expression in the creative works of Ukrainian fashion designers in 2009-2019. Research methodology. The authors of the article apply general scientific research methods of analysis, synthesis, and generalization of artistic means of expression in clothing design. Scientific novelty. The article demonstrates the main silhouettes, the main colour scheme, types of fabrics, types of decoration and trimming, types of accessories inherent in the creative works of Ukrainian fashion designers during 2009-2019. Conclusions. The article provides an analysis of the creative work of the leading Ukrainian fashion designers. Their creative work over the last decade, which embodies the personal style of their work, has been reviewed. The analysis of clothing models has been performed according to the following parameters: silhouette shape, colour scheme, types of fabrics, types of decoration and trimming, accessories. The artistic means of expression used by Ukrainian designers over the past ten years have been systematized. The article reveals common and distinctive features that are inherent in the work of domestic fashion designers. Visual analysis of collections by silhouette shape, colour scheme, fabric, decoration, trimming, and accessories revealed that the shape of a silhouette in the form of a rectangle became the most used silhouette by Ukrainian fashion designers during 2009-2019; three colours, namely beige, white and black were the most preferable in a colour scheme. Knitted fabrics, leather, and silk light fabrics were the most popular in the manufacture of clothing. The author’s prints and embroidery were the most used decoration, while pleats and tucks prevailed in the design principles of decoration

Improvement of the procedure of new filter masks development

The purpose is to substantiate theoretically the design of elastomeric half mask and canister of respirator of long-term protection. To develop the models for theoretical calculations of protective properties of dust masks the theory of non-stationary filtration and hydro aerodynamics was applied. To develop the digital model of a head the downhill simplex method was applied reflecting separate face features considering sex or age; to determine the halfmask surface the free energy equation for bowed plate being described by two-dimension spline surface was used with its unknown coefficients determined by method of proportional parts based on three-dimension coordinates of anthropometric face features. The main anthropometric face features influencing halfmasks design were determined to develop polygonous 3D model of head. According to its determined basic coordinates the surface of halfmask was determined using method of interpolation. Considering the mathematical model describing the movement of dust flows near a halfmask and in canister the dependences of distribution of air flow speed in a canister of variable geometry were set and kinematic parameters of dust-laden airflow according to a canister volume were determined. Reasonable geometric parameters of canister were determined; transient modulation from filter to inlet valve hole is performed as a contractor
