Design, Modeling and Simulation of Mini Rocket Launching Systems Applied to the Reforestation of Areas Impacted by Deforestation

Objective: This project aims to develop reforestation operations in areas impacted by deforestation, with the objective of designing mini-rocket launch systems, computational modeling and simulation for flight prediction, promoting biodiversity and environmental recovery Theoretical framework: The use of rockets for ecological restoration purposes presents unique challenges. Precision in seed deposition, selection of the most suitable species for each environment, and assessment of environmental impacts are issues that require in-depth research. This technology, traditionally associated with space exploration, has the potential to optimize agricultural practices, monitor the environment, and address challenges such as deforestation and desertification. Method and material: The materials used in the project were a dynamometer, specifically the AMF 5 model, capable of measuring both tensile and compressive forces up to 5 N with a precision of 0.01 N, a RAVEN brand smoke generator with a smoke flow rate of 13 liters per minute, a custom-designed wind tunnel constructed in the laboratory, a CB-8909 anemometer, and custom-designed rocket launch bases. The methodology began with the design and construction of a wind tunnel to determine the drag coefficient of the miniature rockets. A launch pad for miniature rockets propelled by water and air was developed and used. The thrust of various miniature rockets was experimentally measured on a test bench while keeping the rocket stationary. Flight prediction modeling and simulation were based on two sets of differential equations derived from the conservation of mass and momentum, solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta method. Two sets of nonlinear differential equations were formulated and solved: one for the Propulsion Phase and another for oblique launch. The computer program allows user-defined input and generates various outputs in matrix or graphical format. Launch tests were conducted to validate the developed computer program. Results and Discussion: The computational simulation of the mini-rocket flight prediction resulted in figures containing the most important flight parameters. The results of the computer program were validated through field launches of the mini-rockets. The differential of this work in relation to those found in the literature was that it addressed dynamic modeling for flight prediction, using two systems of nonlinear equations with twenty-two dynamic variables, with the obtaining of results for fifteen flight parameters. Research Implications: This study found that the use of rockets in agriculture and environmental fields opens up a range of innovative possibilities for natural resource management and environmental preservation. The projects in this study revealed the importance of studying mini-rockets, wind tunnels, mini-rocket launch systems, and the development of simulation software, opening up new frontiers in the aerospace sector for reforestation, restoration of degraded areas, and applications in agriculture. Originality/Value: The project, modeling and simulation of mini-rocket launch systems applied to reforestation revealed a new application area for rockets. The research was conducted at the Integrated Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of São João del Rey, Ouro Branco Campus, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This project, which was supported by FAPEMIG, involved the sharing of activities with post-doctoral, master's, undergraduate research, and final course work students, generating knowledge in the areas of research and teaching

STYLISTIC AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN VIOLIN SOLO CAPRICCIOS IN THE 20th CENTURY – KONSTANTIN G. MOSTRAS, GRAŻYNA BACEWICZ, STANLEY WEINER, AND JOAQUIN RODRIG

The history of the capriccio is relatively well studied. Based on historical documents, the term can be traced back to 1561, when in France this term was used to refer to madrigals and instrumental music, mostly for keyboard instruments of an improvisational nature. In violin literature, the genre of capriccio categorically begins with the extraordinary virtuoso discoveries of Pietro Antonio Locatelli. Today, the work of this original master is overshadowed by the fame of Paganini. Still, in the interests of justice, it is fair to admit that Paganini borrowed 90% of Locatelli’s achievements in bow technique and his discoveries are reduced only to: - Double flageolets in the left hand; - Guitar fretboard in the left hand, in which the thumb is also used to fix tones of G string; - The widespread use of the ricochet articulation in the right hand, though Locatelli contributed to this discovery.

Mastering Ejaculation Challenges Through Comprehensive Strategies: A Case Report

Background This case report explores the successful management of psychogenic anejaculation in a 31-year-old poultry farmer. Despite an 8-year history of anejaculation during intercourse, the patient achieved ejaculation during masturbation. Initial pharmacological intervention with duloxetine, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, provided partial success. To address persisting challenges, dual sex therapy and sensate focus therapy were introduced, based on the work of Masters and Johnson. The integrated approach proved effective, leading to successful ejaculation and the conception of the patient's wife. This case emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive approach to psychological anejaculation, combining pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions for successful outcomes.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES ON THE PROCESS OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Problem statement. The history of the development of Petrykiv painting, including the study of the work of folk masters and their followers, their works, as well as consideration of problems and their solutions. The purpose of the article. To study the history of the origin and development of the art of Petrykivka painting. Determination of the stages of development and features in its different periods. Conclusion. The art of Petrikovsky painting is a unique relic of the national artistic tradition, which delegates to the modern world the original culture of the historical cradle of the Zaporizhia Cossacks. His powerful spirit, originality of poetic worldview and profound ethnic folk artistic thinking. Petrykiv decorative painting has in its potential immeasurable possibilities of ancient and eternally young folk art, for entering the sphere of modern life, enrichment of national and world culture. The war situation exacerbates and activates artistic creativity as much as possible. Thanks to the enthusiasm of Petrykiv masters-artists, their desire to support and develop our art, to pass on their skills to descendants, to show the beauty of Petrykiv painting to the whole world, this art form continues to live, improve and surprise with its unique ornament. Due to the significant economic difficulties accumulated during the last decades, an important branch of national culture has reached the critical limit of survival. Ensuring the preservation of historical centers of folk art and folk art crafts of Ukraine is a necessary component of the formation of national consciousness. The following most important strategic directions: state support and protection of the central figure of the industry − its producer, bearer of folk artistic traditions, folk craftsmen and enterprises of historical centers of folk artistic industries; preparation of the future change of folk masters in the creative environment of historical centers of folk art, by reaching different age categories of students, including the creation of specialized secondary educational institutions (schools), which will be gradually expanded as the industry develops; creation of museums in historical centers of folk arts and crafts for the purpose of their popularization, scientific research, assistance in education of future change, development of centers and tourism industry in Ukraine; Petrykiv painting will survive if it finds a new organic “usability”, either by artists of decorative art or by masters of folk art.

Hypotheses Concerning Global Magnetospheric Convection, Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere Coupling, and Auroral Activity at Uranus

AbstractWe investigate the unique magnetosphere of Uranus and its interaction with the solar wind. Following the work of Masters (2014), https://doi.org/10.1002/2014ja020077 and others, we developed and validated a simple yet valuable and illustrative model of Uranus' offset, tilted, and rapidly‐spinning magnetic field and magnetopause (nominal and fit to the Voyager‐2 inbound crossing point) in three‐dimensional space. With this model, we investigated details of the seasonal and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation dependencies of dayside and flank reconnection along the Uranian magnetopause. We found that anti‐parallel (magnetic field shear angle greater than 170°) reconnection occurs nearly continuously along the Uranian dayside and/or flank magnetopause under all seasons of the 84 (Earth) year Uranian orbit and the most likely IMF orientations. Such active and continuous driving of the Uranian magnetosphere should result in constant loading and unloading of the Uranian magnetotail, which may be further complicated and destabilized by sudden changes in the IMF orientation and solar wind conditions plus the reconfigurations from the rotation of Uranus itself. We demonstrate that unlike the other magnetospheric systems that are Dungey‐cycle driven (i.e., Mercury and Earth) or rotationally driven (Jupiter and Saturn), global magnetospheric convection of plasma, magnetic flux, and energy flow may occur via three distinct cycles, two of which are unique to Uranus (and possibly also Neptune). Our simple model is also used to map signatures of dayside and flank reconnection down to the Uranian ionosphere, as a function of planetary latitude and longitude. Such mapping demonstrates that “spot‐like” auroral features should be very common on the Uranian dayside, consistent with observations from Hubble Space Telescope. We further detail how the combination of Uranus' rapid rotation and unique and very active global magnetospheric convection should be consistent with fueling of the surprisingly intense trapped radiation environment observed by Voyager‐2 during its single flyby. Summarizing, Uranus is a very interesting magnetosphere that offers new insights on the nature, complexity, and diversity of planetary magnetospheric systems and the acceleration of particles in space plasmas, which might have important analogs to exoplanetary magnetospheric systems. Our hypotheses can be tested with further work involving more advanced models, new auroral observations, and unprecedented missions to explore the in situ environment from orbit around Uranus, which should include a complement of magnetospheric instruments in the payload.

Formation of Aesthetic Taste in Students of Professional Educational Organization by Means of Decorative and Applied Art

Introduction. The current stage of development of Russian society is characterized by global socio-economic changes that have caused instability in public life, a crisis of society and its main institutions, the destruction of spiritual ideals, which has led to a decrease in the level of morality and spirituality of young people, the level of formation of aesthetic taste. Therefore, the problem of lack of aesthetic tolerance is relevant, which can lead to negative phenomena in society, indifference or an aggressive attitude towards complex aesthetic phenomena that require intellectual perception. The purpose of the study is to develop and theoretically substantiate a didactic model for the formation of students’ aesthetic taste in an educational environment through the means of arts and crafts and to experimentally test its effectiveness. Methodology. To solve the problems, the following research methods were used: theoretical: ascent from the abstract to the concrete, idealization (creation of an ideal object) as a thought experiment; empirical: observation, pedagogical experiment, study of the results of artistic and creative activities of students. Research instruments are the tools that were used to collect and analyze data. We used the following tools: survey (using the survey we found answers to a number of questions that were developed for a specific group of students); an interview that helped gather information about students’ knowledge of arts and crafts; observation – this tool was used to study human behavior in various situations We studied the level of practical skills of students in the implementation of aesthetic ideas when performing an object of decorative and applied art using the association of a picture, which reflects the national idea, historical symbols and connotations – traditions and rituals, epics in the form of traditional shapes and colors, simple symbols, decorative folklore images. Based on the results obtained, in the course of empirical research, we have developed training programs for in-depth mastery of content in the disciplines “Technology” and “Fine Arts”. The thematic curriculum includes the following sections: 1. Russian art of the 18th–20th centuries. in the works of artists (I. E. Repin, M. P. Botkin, A. G. Venetsianov, P. P. Vereshchagin, etc.). 2. History of Russian culture in epics, fables, poems and fairy tales. 3. Russian decorative art. 4. Ornament as a form of Russian philosophy. 5. Ornament in the works of Khokhloma masters. 6. Ornament of Siberian carpets. 7. Understanding of beauty in Russian painting. 8. The property of Russian literature. Results. As a result of the study, a didactic model for the formation of aesthetic taste of students in the educational environment of a college was developed. The experiment confirmed the effectiveness of the developed curriculum and the identified pedagogical conditions that contribute to the most effective formation of aesthetic taste among students of a professional educational organization through the means of decorative and applied arts. Methodological products were adapted to the conditions of the Chelyabinsk Pedagogical College No. 1. After analyzing the problems identified within the framework of the study, programs for the academic disciplines “Fine Arts and Technology” and methodological recommendations for the formation of artistic and aesthetic taste through the means of decorative and applied arts were developed and implemented into the educational process of designers. Conclusions. The developed curriculum, being part of the educational process at aesthetic faculties, contains specific proposals for improving the training of specialists. Particular attention is paid to tasks for students specializing in painting. This allows us to enrich the experience of implementing creative projects and create aesthetically pleasing products of modern design. The methodological products developed during the study can be used in the professional activities of teachers of vocational training in secondary vocational education organizations.

Jewellery Development in Right-Bank Ukraine and Galicia (XVI-XIX Centuries): Insights from Precious Ecclesiastical Artifacts

This article examines the development of jewellery in Right-Bank Ukraine and Galicia from the XVI to XIX centuries, focusing on precious ecclesiastical artifacts as evidence of the flourishing of Ukrainian goldsmithing. The relevance of the research stems from its detailed exploration of ecclesiastical jewellery in Right-Bank Ukraine and Galicia, providing a unique perspective on the region's artistic heritage and European cultural integration. The purpose is studying the artistic techniques used by Lviv and Kyiv jewellers in creating church artifacts like domes, icon covers, and other ecclesiastical items. The historical-genetic method enabled comprehensively analysing the evolution of Right-Bank Ukrainian jewellery in the example of church artifacts. Periodization identified three stages of Ukrainian goldsmithing's development in the XVI-XIX centuries. The system- structural method emphasized Western European cultural influence on overall Ukrainian jewellery. The typological approach reflected empirical reality of Right-Bank Ukrainian jewellery development as evidence of flourishing culture. Narrative described and explained the significance of jewellery artifacts at each stage of the formation of Ukrainian goldsmithing. Research materials included art organizations' experience, archaeological documentation, and museum exhibits. As a result of the research, the article presents the work of such Kyiv masters as: Iyeremiya Biletskyy, Ivan Ravych, and Matviy Narunovych. Detailed descriptions of works of art by Lviv and Kyiv masters of the XVI- XIX centuries are provided. And information about the Kyiv goldsmith shop is displayed. Conclusions confirm that Right-Bank Ukraine and Galicia were a stronghold of European jewellery styles in the 16th-19th centuries. The study of church artefacts by Ukrainian craftsmen shows a special cultural mentality shaped by centuries-old traditions and the multidenominational nature of Christian faiths. Thus, the materials of the article represent a practical value for historians, ethnographers, and architects who are interested in the construction of Orthodox churches; and jewellers engaged in artistic blacksmithing.

NEW MASTER'S PROGRAMIN MANAGEMENT AT MSU: FROM DEVELOPMENT TO IMPLEMENTATION

The paper reflects the process of creation and presents the results of two-year work of a new master’s program “Business Development Management”. The authors were actively involved in the program’s design and its curriculum development to meet the requirements of contemporary management education. The paper presents the approaches to designing master’s programs and substantiates company’s life cycle concept as a basis for “Business Development Management” program, which involves a combination of disciplines forming students’ professional, soft, and digital skills. Drawing on the results of a first- and secondyear undergraduates’ survey, conducted in January 2023, this paper determines the factors influencing students’ interest in the program and assesses the quality of compulsory and elective disciplines. Finally, it identifies crucial problem areas in master’s education developing modern managers, shapes clearer description of a graduate of “Business Development Management” program, and outlines new areas for management education development. The authors propose to replace disciplines with poor scores and expand a list of elective courses (also taught in foreign language); strengthen the practical focus of the learning process; introduce e-learning modules and the best practices of business gamification, which will allow using the knowledge gained and the developed soft and digital skills without time gaps between education and employment. Our findings have implications both for examining management education transformation and for creating and upgrading master's degree programs in management.

Verifiable Crowd Computing: Coping with bounded rationality

In this paper we use the repeated-games framework to design and analyze a master-worker (MW) mechanism, where a master repeatedly outsources computational tasks to workers in exchange for payment. Previous work on MW models assumes that all workers are perfectly rational and aim to maximize their expected utility. Perfect rationality is a strong behavioral assumption because it requires that all workers follow the prescribed equilibrium. Such a model may be unrealistic in a practical setting, where some agents are not perfectly rational and may deviate from the equilibrium for short-term gains. Since the correctness of these MW protocols relies on workers following the equilibrium strategies, they are not robust against such deviations.We augment the game-theoretical MW model with the presence of such bounded-rational players or deviators. In particular, we show how to design a repeated-games based MW Verifiable Crowd Computing mechanism that incentivizes the rational workers (or followers) to effectively punish such deviators through the use of terminal payments. We show that the master can use terminal payments to obtain correct answers to computational problems even in this more general model. We supplement our theoretical results with simulations that show that our mechanism outperforms related approaches.

Distributed adaptive greedy quasi-Newton methods with explicit non-asymptotic convergence bounds

Though quasi-Newton methods have been extensively studied in the literature, they either suffer from local convergence or use a series of line searches for global convergence which is not easy to implement in the distributed setting. In this work, we first propose a line search free greedy quasi-Newton (GQN) method with adaptive steps and establish explicit non-asymptotic bounds for both the global convergence rate and local superlinear rate. Our novel idea lies in the design of multiple GQN updates, which only involves computing Hessian-vector products, to control the Hessian approximation error, and a simple mechanism to adjust stepsizes to ensure the objective function improvement per iterate. Then, we extend it to the master–worker framework and propose a distributed adaptive GQN method whose communication cost is comparable with that of first-order methods, yet it retains the superb convergence property of its centralized counterpart. Finally, we demonstrate the advantages of our methods via numerical experiments.

Works by Andrii Levytskyi for the “Homage à trois” Project (Barcelona, Spain)

Andrii Levytskyi is a well-known Kyivan graphic artist, a recognized master of gravure printing (intaglio). The artist has been participating regularly in the “Homage à trois” (Tribute to Three) project, which takes place in Barcelona (Spain) on the initiative of the Duana de les Arts – AIDA International Association – since 2021. Only masters of graphic art can participate in the project. It should commemorate three literary figures on the occasion of their birthday anniversaries, and the artists should choose at least two of the three proposed personalities. Intaglio 2021, satisfying the conditions of the project, at the same time continues seamlessly the themes and motifs peculiar to Andrii Levytskyi’s heritage in general. Poem about a Henna Tree (Jean Lafontaine) is somewhat unexpected and paradoxical, but naturally connected with the artist’s favourite images of trees. In the Player the themes of confrontation, game, rivalry are developed. They are arisen, in particular, in the intaglio Motus Animi Continuus (2021). Three works of 2022, made in the computer design technique, are distinguished by a bright and at the same time elegant color solution. The artist is inspired by themes of the theater and, widely, carnival culture (Molière’s Mask), Japanese art (IchiyōHiguchi’s Stream). The work for the anniversary of the legendary German romantic Novalis (Ask Baron: Is Religion the Opium of the Peoples) is especially unexpected. In 2023, Andrii Levytskyi has returned to the intaglio technique again and at the same time abandoned color. The works dedicated to Federico García Lorca (At Five O’clock in the Afternoon) and Wisława Szymborska, winner of the Nobel Prize (Cat in an Empty Apartment), are the artist’s reflections on the theme of death, while the work Dream. My Ántonia (based on the novel by Willa Cather) softens their tragical essence. The Ukrainian artist’s works dedicated to Molière, Novalis and Willa Cather have been nominated and awarded by the organizers of “Homage à trois”. Taking part in the international artistic projects, and even more so winning in them, Ukrainian artists contribute actively to the creation of a positive image of the state. After all, the culture of Ukraine consists not only of the historical heritage, but also of the works of modern masters.

Piano cycles of Italian composers of the late 19th – first half of the 20th century: on the problem of programming.

The object of study in this article is the piano work of Italian composers of the late 19th – first half of the 20th centuries. The subject is programming in instrumental music, represented by the genre of the piano cycle. Based on the definition of programming and the classification of types, developed in the works of domestic musicologists M. Aranovsky, L. Kazantseva, Yu. Khokhlova, the author reveals the features of its implementation in the cycles of famous Italian composers F. Busoni, J. Malipiero, A. Casella, M. Castelnuovo-Tedesco, created during the historical period under study. Particular attention is paid to considering the issue of continuing the tradition of embodying programming in cycles, established by romantic composers, as well as identifying national features characteristic of Italian art as a whole. The article uses an integrated approach, including systemic-historical and comparative methods of analysis. The author also turned to the method of musical theoretical analysis. The novelty of the research lies in the development of one of the important and relevant areas of musicology associated with the synthesis of arts, within the framework of solving a specific problem: the implementation of various types of programming. The author’s special contribution to the development of this topic is the introduction into scientific circulation of new works of Italian masters that have not previously been studied, the consideration, using their example, of various types of programming in close connection with the tradition that has developed in European art, and the identification of ways to update it. The most important feature is the integrity of the cycles, which is formed at the emotional, figurative, stylistic, compositional, and tonal levels. A conclusion is drawn about the originality of the piano cycles of Italian composers, which is manifested in close connection with national art.

The formation of modern residential structures and the design of new residential areas must take into account the latest results of sociological research; it is necessary to solve current issues of organizing social processes in the existing and designed residential environment. The developed directions and latest publications on the subject of social research in urban planning and the possibilities of their implementation in the training of students of architects and urban planners are considered. The methodology of socio-spatial research within the framework of the cognitive approach to urbanism has been studied in more detail. The possible development of the methodology is analyzed on the main aspects of sociocultural changes in society and their impact on urban planning. The need for students to master various methods of socio-spatial analysis, to obtain skills in assessing the socio-spatial structure of established residential areas and urban planning solutions is substantiated. The main directions of studying methods of socio-spatial analysis by urban planning students are considered. An example of a socio-spatial analysis of a residential area in the city of Syktyvkar, carried out as part of the course “Pre-design urban planning research”, is presented. A socio-spatial analysis of the residential area under consideration helped to identify the problems of this territory and identify possible ways to solve them. Examples are given of the possible use of socio-spatial analysis in course design, in final qualifying works of bachelors and masters. The main directions for applying the methodology of socio-spatial research in teaching urban planning students are proposed.

The Film Music of D. Shostakovich: the Analysis of “Chronometric” Data

The article is devoted to an issue that seems to have a structural and technological rather than artistic nature. However, upon closer examination, it turns out that the minutes and seconds that make up the course of fi lm music can very seriously affect the overall drama of a fi lm as an action unfolding in time in terms of the ratio of fragments with musical arrangement and episodes without music. Especially when it comes to the work of such masters as D. Shostakovich.

ENCAUSTIC AS AN ANCIENT PAINTING TECHNIQUE: A FAILING TRADITION

The article highlights the peculiarities of the encaustic painting technique and the main problems of preserving this unique technique in the modern art of Ukraine. The meaning of the concept of “encaustic” is revealed. Considerable attention is paid to the technological varieties of encaustic as an ancient pictorial art. Thus, ancient authors wrote about the expressiveness and beauty of the encaustic technique, but, at the same time, “wax painting of the ancients” turned out to be one of the mysterious techniques. First of all, this is due to the fact that very few encaustic works have survived, and the description of technologies was almost absent. Thus, after studying the “Fayum portraits” found in 1887 in Middle Egypt (the Fayum oasis), it was possible to determine that the funerary masks were made in the encaustic technique. Mentions of encaustic works date back to the ancient literature of the times of imperial Rome. During the Renaissance, even Leonardo da Vinci tried to unravel the mystery of encaustic painting, but even he had very little information about this technology. According to the descriptions, it was necessary to solve a complex technological process, so the masters collected information piece by piece and experimentally implemented this technique. These were the first stages of the revival of encaustic painting, which is also called wax painting, because the basis of encaustic paints was wax. The stability of this painting technique was ensured, in particular, by the presence of various resins, linseed oil and dyes of natural origin in the composition of encaustic paints. These paints were applied layer by layer on special soils under high temperature. The exceptional artistic value of the encaustic technique made it possible to preserve it and gave the prospect of revival thanks to the creative searches of artists of the 1970-1995 years of the 20th century. Painting with wax paints meets all the requirements of modern monumental art along with frescoes and mosaics. Modern construction technologies and materials provide ample opportunities for monumental artists to solve various artistic and plastic tasks related to the application of the encaustic technique. The article also considers the role of encaustic in modern easel and monumental art. The work of modern masters of Ukraine who worked in the encaustic technique is analyzed.
