현대미술에서 장르 간의 융합적 표현에 관한 연구

This thesis compares and analysis the methodical difference between the artist Ki-Woong Park and I, who are commonly exercising convergence skills. The consilience theory is to unite the governing power of Universe, surrounding every culture, and social aspects. The meaning is to be one from the meanings of ‘jumping together of knowledge’, ‘meaning communication’ or ‘consilience’ of the philosophy, ethics and comparative religion and the arts. Ki-Woong Park installs interesting instructive message through ‘Shakespeare’ series combined by painting, sculpture, metal craft and stage arts. Broadly, my arts are to be combined by the painting and installation with various materials and objects. To remember the original location place; ‘Trace’ series, drawing and tracing skills are commonly used; illusion plus objects ‘Time’ series; nature artificial and human combined ‘Life’ series are created. If the method of consilience of Park’s is to describe directly the story from the play, mine is to hide it with symbolic objects as the development from painting genre.

EMOTIONAL PERCEPTION AND CULTURAL MOTIVATION ON LOYALTY TO A WORLD HERITAGE SITES DESTINATION

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the scientific literature in the field of tourism in Latin America (Sucre, Bolivia was named a World Heritage Site (WHS) by UNESCO). This study analyses the relevance of the cultural motivation and emotional experience of the tourist to positively influence the image or the perceived value of the heritage site visited. The research shall also analyse other relationships, such as the positive effect of the perceived value on the loyalty of tourists and the influence of the visitor’s place of origin as a moderating variable in the formation of the image and loyalty to the destination. The analysis was performed by means of structural equation models (SEMs). The data were extracted through fieldwork consisting of interviews with visitors to the city. The results of the research revealed that the perceived value of a heritage destination not only depends on the functional and tangible aspects of the attributes but also on the emotional experience and cultural interest regarding the heritage site visited. Similarly, there is evidence of a relationship between perceived value and a loyal attitude and that it is moderated by the origin of the tourist, this being a great influence in the case of the domestic tourist.

Differences in Outcomes by Place of Origin among Hispanic Patients with Kidney Failure.

Hispanic patients are known to have a higher risk of kidney failure and lower rates of home dialysis use and kidney transplantation than non-Hispanic White patients. However, it is unknown whether these outcomes differ within the Hispanic community, which is heterogeneous in its members' places of origins. Using United States Renal Data System data, the authors found similar adjusted rates of home dialysis use for patients originating from places outside the United States and US-born Hispanic patients, whereas the adjusted risk of mortality and likelihood of transplantation differed depending on place (country or territory) of origin. Understanding the heterogeneity in kidney disease outcomes and treatment within the Hispanic community is crucial in designing interventions and implementation strategies to ensure that Hispanic individuals with kidney failure have equitable access to care. Compared with non-Hispanic White groups, Hispanic individuals have a higher risk of kidney failure yet lower rates of living donor transplantation and home dialysis. However, how home dialysis, mortality, and transplantation vary within the Hispanic community depending on patients' place of origin is unclear. We identified adult Hispanic patients from the United States Renal Data System who initiated dialysis in 2009-2017. Primary exposure was country or territory of origin (the United States, Mexico, US-Puerto Rico, and other countries). We used logistic regression to estimate differences in odds of initiating home dialysis and competing risk models to estimate subdistribution hazard ratios (SHR) of mortality and kidney transplantation. Of 137,039 patients, 44.4% were US-born, 30.9% were from Mexico, 12.9% were from US-Puerto Rico, and 11.8% were from other countries. Home dialysis rates were higher among US-born patients, but not significantly different after adjusting for demographic, medical, socioeconomic, and facility-level factors. Adjusted mortality risk was higher for individuals from US-Puerto Rico (SHR, 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 1.08) and lower for Mexico (SHR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.78 to 0.81) and other countries (SHR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.81 to 0.86) compared with US-born patients. The adjusted rate of transplantation for Mexican or US-Puerto Rican patients was similar to that of US-born patients but higher for those from other countries (SHR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.30). Hispanic people from different places of origin have similar adjusted rates of home dialysis but different adjusted rates of mortality and kidney transplantation. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying these observed differences in outcomes.

Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale-Greek (TABS-Gr) version: translation and initial evaluation of psychometric properties among medical students

BackgroundTransgender people face significantly greater discrimination and health disparities in health care settings than cisgender people. The role of education in eliminating this phenomenon has been increasingly recognized by many medical schools. However, transgender health content is sparse or lacking in the medical curricula of many countries.MethodThis study was designed to validate the Greek version of the Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (TABS-Gr). The study adopted a cross-sectional, comparative-descriptive research design. Participants (N = 203) were contacted through online recruitment and invited to complete an anonymous web-based survey. The data were collected between December 2022 and February 2023.ResultsThe overall reliability of the TABS-Gr questionnaire was high (Cronbach’s α = 0.961, p. from Hotelling’s T-squared test < 0.000). High Cronbach’s alpha values were estimated for the three subscales, with α = 0.958 for Interpersonal Comfort, α = 0.906 for Gender Beliefs, and α = 0.952 for Human Values. Hotelling’s T-squared test confirmed that all items on the scale had the same mean (p < 0.001 for all subgroups). Explanatory factor analysis (EFA) demonstrated adequate fit. Convergent and discriminant validity were validated based on the estimated correlations. The three-factor structure of the Greek TABS version was confirmed. The mean total score was 155.95 (SD = 30.63), indicating that medical students had a moderately positive attitude towards transgender people. Participants showed significantly less biased (more tolerant, positive) attitudes towards transgender people on the Interpersonal Comfort (IC) and Human Value (HV) subscales than on the Sex/Gender Beliefs (SGB) subscale. A demographic comparison was conducted and demonstrated a correlation between scores and sociodemographics, except for place of origin. A statistically significant increase in the total mean score was estimated for women compared to men.ConclusionThe overall psychometric findings provide some evidence to support the validity of the Greek version of the TABS. However, we call for further validation research in Greek medical schools. Since our claims for validity are based in part on an exploratory factor analysis, a future confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is part of our call for further validation research. While the results of this study are mostly in line with the results of previous research, some nuances were identified. These results may inform educators, medical school curricula and education policy-makers.

MANAGEMENT OF COUNTRYSIDE WALKING TOURISM THROUGH UNDERSTANDING USERS AND THEIR NEEDS

Walking tourism, among the most attractive manners to observe a destination and satisfy the growing demand of visitors for outdoor activities, allows tourists to interact closely with local nature, people, tradition, culture, and heritage. Walking tourism needs low investments and can be developed anywhere. The impacts of greenspace on people’s physical and mental health contribute to the accelerated development of this form of tourism. By better understanding users, it is more likely to develop a product or service that works for them. Despite the efforts of urban areas to become greener and more attractive (Callaghan et al., 2021), rural areas have unique and pristine natural resources that cannot be created artificially. In addition, life in the village is still traditional, peaceful, and easy, customs are respected, and the cultural heritage has been preserved from the influence of the modern, high-tech age and global market trends (Štetić &amp; Šimičević, 2017). When developing a nature tourism product, the focal question is related to real user needs. Such as the lack of information about user needs accounts for 35% of total reasons for start-ups’ failures (CBInsights, 2021), this logic can also easily apply to tourism destinations. To learn about user needs, the starting point is to research users and their motivations, triggers, and context for using the product or service. Considering the impact of greenspace on people’s physical and mental health, countryside walking tourism (CWT), with the village as the pivot of tourist activities, is a rapidly developing form of rural tourism. Properly developed and managed, walking tourism brings social-economic benefits to destinations and gains a significant place in regional sustainable development (Milojković et al., 2023a). CWT, with the village as the pivot of tourist activities, is a rapidly developing form of rural tourism (Milojković et al., 2023b). Understanding users and their needs-based CWT management reduces the risk of expensive failures, ensures timely delivery, sets up and manages a team to design, build, and maintain a product or service, and opens space for innovations. The research purpose is to perceive users of the countryside walking tours and their needs during those tours. Among the general scientific methods, the statistical method and the hypothetico-deductive method were used. The research data were collected using the questionnaire-based survey technique and processed by SPSS. The general results indicated that the management of CWT should target meeting user needs for visiting hidden and original places with a local guide, consuming and buying authentic food and drinks, and raising awareness and building communicative capacities of the local population. The research contribution is to improve the management of rural tourism destinations based on understanding users and their needs for countryside walking tours.

Description of the Implementation of Care Continuum Treatment for Relapse in Cancer Survivors

Background: Cancer is a disease that can affect almost any organs or tissues of the body characterized by abnormal cells growing uncontrollably. Cancer sufferers undergo a series of treatments, either surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of the two, adjusted to the patient's own clinical condition. , type of cancer, stage of cancer . Cancers that have completed a series of treatments and nursing will then be declared in stable condition and evaluated based on the guidelines of each science. Recurrence or relapse cancer is cancer that is found after treatment is complete and monitored for a different period of time in each cancer survivors and the type of relapses can occur in the original place or can arise in distant places. In carrying out care continuum care for cancer survivors it is not only physical problems but care continuum care which also includes psychological, social and spiritual care from assessment to evaluation involving the family. Purpose: The researcher conducted a literature review which aims to find out an overview of the implementation of treatment care continuum on the incidence of relapse in cancer survivors.The method used in this writing is Literature Review with IMRAD ( Introduction,Method,Result, and Discussion ) and then we analysis using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items For Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyzes) method with a total of 9 article sources. Results: Based on studies that have been reviewed, it was found that the application of care continuum care for survivors cancer has an important role in minimizing the incidence of cancer relapse and can improve the health of cancer survivors. Conclusion: The implications of applying care continuum are expected to be applied on an ongoing basis to cancer survivors, in an effort to monitor and reduce the incidence of relapse in cancer survivors.

Identification of geographical origin of winter jujube based on GC–MS coupled with machine-learning algorithms

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography–mass (GC–MS) is the most often used technique for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When coupled with machine-learning algorithms, the two provide the means to differentiate the volatile metabolome of foods from different origins. In this study, the volatile metabolites of winter jujube, a fruit protected by China and the European Union (EU) based on geographical indications (GI), was analyzed by HS-SPME–GC–MS. Extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) was applied, for the first time, to evaluate differences in winter jujube grown in four distinct regions. Locational differences yielded 33 VOCs that differed by functionality and concentration with a recurrence probability of ≥ 60%. Zhanhua winter jujube contained the most abundant VOCs, with Yuncheng winter jujube the least. The 33 winter jujube VOCs were analyzed by random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and XGBoost to identify the place of origin. The discrimination rates were about 85% using RF, about 93% using SVM, and about 98% with XGBoost. Compared to RF and SVM algorithms, XGBoost was more efficient, producing higher accuracy rates, and providing new opportunities for origin traceability.

A Review of Recent Advances in Brain Tumor Diagnosis Based on AI-Based Classification.

Uncontrolled and fast cell proliferation is the cause of brain tumors. Early cancer detection is vitally important to save many lives. Brain tumors can be divided into several categories depending on the kind, place of origin, pace of development, and stage of progression; as a result, tumor classification is crucial for targeted therapy. Brain tumor segmentation aims to delineate accurately the areas of brain tumors. A specialist with a thorough understanding of brain illnesses is needed to manually identify the proper type of brain tumor. Additionally, processing many images takes time and is tiresome. Therefore, automatic segmentation and classification techniques are required to speed up and enhance the diagnosis of brain tumors. Tumors can be quickly and safely detected by brain scans using imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and others. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promise in developing algorithms that aid in automatic classification and segmentation utilizing various imaging modalities. The right segmentation method must be used to precisely classify patients with brain tumors to enhance diagnosis and treatment. This review describes multiple types of brain tumors, publicly accessible datasets, enhancement methods, segmentation, feature extraction, classification, machine learning techniques, deep learning, and learning through a transfer to study brain tumors. In this study, we attempted to synthesize brain cancer imaging modalities with automatically computer-assisted methodologies for brain cancer characterization in ML and DL frameworks. Finding the current problems with the engineering methodologies currently in use and predicting a future paradigm are other goals of this article.

Pengaruh Antrean Dan Tundaan Kendaraan Terhadap Penggunaan Bahan Bakar Pengoperasian Palang Pintu Kereta

Transportation is the movement of people or goods using tools or vehicles from the place of origin to the destination. A level crossing is a meeting or intersection of a road with a railroad. Closing the doorstop causes the flow of traffic on the road to stop until the train passes which results in queues and vehicle delays which have an impact on fuel consumtion. This study aims to determine queues, vehicle delays and their effect on fuel use.This study uses a quantitative method with data obtained from the field, namely closing duration data, vehicle queue duration data, queue length data and vehicle volume data. data were obtained from the field for 7 days and the 3 busiest days were selected, namely Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, then analyzed using multiple linear regression.Based on the analysis, the average queue length of vehicles at level crossings on Jl. Hayam Wuruk on Monday is 71.368 m, Wednesday is 68.263 meters, and Saturday is 79.947 m. Data on average vehicle delays at level crossings on Jl. Hayam Wuruk on Monday was 281 seconds, Wednesday was 211 meters, and Saturday was 238.453 seconds. The ATIS – India method of the fuel use equation model is Y = - 0.717 + 0.005 X1 + 0.003 X2.

Tracking the geographical origin of Plasmodium falciparum causing a rare severe case of malaria imported into Palestine, a zero-indigenous case area

BackgroundMalaria cases in non-endemic zero-indigenous case areas are most likely to have been imported whatever of the route of importation. In countries recently declared malaria-free and now without local transmission, imported cases remain a threat to re-introduction of the disease and a burden on the health system.Case presentationThree days after returning from a long trip to malaria- endemic countries; Abyei-Sudan, Chad and Uganda, a 41-year-old male resident from Jericho, Palestine, suffered paroxysms of fever, general fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, and a strong desire to vomit. Thin and thick Giemsa-stained blood smears were prepared and examined microscopically using oil immersion. Immature trophozoites (ring forms) were seen to parasitize approximately 10% of the erythrocytes revealing hyperparasitemia equivalent to > 100,000 parasites/ µl indicating severe malaria [1, 2]. The double chromatin configuration (headphones) and accolé (applique) position are both indicative of Plasmodium falciparum infection. The 18S rRNA- PCR targeting the rPLU6-rPLU5 region was used to confirm the diagnosis. The next-generation sequencing (NGS) method was carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Illumina® DNA Prep, (M) Tagmentation kit (20060060), Illumina) to identify Plasmodium spp. Furthermore, NGS produced a whole-genome sequence of 22.8Mbp of the 14 chromosomes and 25Kbp of the apicoplast. A BLAST search of the apicoplast DNA and selected chromosomal DNA revealed that P. falciparum was the causative agent. The merozoite surface protein-1 (msp-1) was used to construct a phylogenetic tree of 26 P. falciparum, including the one isolated from the patient from Jericho, which clustered with the Sudanese isolate indicating genetic relatedness between the two.ConclusionThe travel history together with signs and symptoms of malaria, followed by prompt diagnosis using conventional microscopic inspection of Giemsa-stained films together with molecular DNA tracking tools like msp-1 were key means in tracking the place of origin of infection in the case of travel to multiple destination.

Interneuron odyssey: molecular mechanisms of tangential migration.

Cortical GABAergic interneurons are critical components of neural networks. They provide local and long-range inhibition and help coordinate network activities involved in various brain functions, including signal processing, learning, memory and adaptative responses. Disruption of cortical GABAergic interneuron migration thus induces profound deficits in neural network organization and function, and results in a variety of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders including epilepsy, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. It is thus of paramount importance to elucidate the specific mechanisms that govern the migration of interneurons to clarify some of the underlying disease mechanisms. GABAergic interneurons destined to populate the cortex arise from multipotent ventral progenitor cells located in the ganglionic eminences and pre-optic area. Post-mitotic interneurons exit their place of origin in the ventral forebrain and migrate dorsally using defined migratory streams to reach the cortical plate, which they enter through radial migration before dispersing to settle in their final laminar allocation. While migrating, cortical interneurons constantly change their morphology through the dynamic remodeling of actomyosin and microtubule cytoskeleton as they detect and integrate extracellular guidance cues generated by neuronal and non-neuronal sources distributed along their migratory routes. These processes ensure proper distribution of GABAergic interneurons across cortical areas and lamina, supporting the development of adequate network connectivity and brain function. This short review summarizes current knowledge on the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling cortical GABAergic interneuron migration, with a focus on tangential migration, and addresses potential avenues for cell-based interneuron progenitor transplants in the treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders and epilepsy.

PENAMAAN TEMPAT USAHA DI TANGERANG SELATAN: KAJIAN SEMANTIK

The purpose of this research is to analyze the naming of business places in South Tangerang. The theory used in analyzing naming is Chaer's theory (2009). This study uses a qualitative research model. The data collection process carried out in this study used the documentation method, followed by the observing and noting method. The data in this study are presented in a descriptive form or informal method. Based on the results of this study it was found that from 35 data on the naming of business places in South Tangerang, there were grammatical, lexical, and connotative meanings. In addition, the naming process that occurs in 35 data on the naming of business premises in South Tangerang, produces 23 data based on inventors or makers, 2 data based on characteristics, 4 data based on new names, 2 data based on place of origin, 1 data based on material, 1 data based on owner and shortening, 1 data based on new naming and owner, 1 data based on uniqueness and new naming. So, it can be concluded that the naming of business places in South Tangerang is dominated by the process of the inventor or maker because most of the business places use the name of the owner or maker.

Embarking on a Journey: A Comparative Study of Selecting Ideal Migration Destination among Nepalese and Indian Labor Migrants

Indian labour migrants come to Nepal in search of better opportunities and at the same time, larger size of Nepali labour migrants migrate to different cities of India. The objective of this study is focused to describe and compare the migration process of labour migrants between Nepal and India. With pragmatism paradigm of post-positivism, mixed methodology (QUAN-qual) has been implemented to explain the research questions, where quantitative is predominant methodology. Quantitative method included survey with a sample of 650 households and qualitative method included one focus group discussion with both migrants group and two key Informant Interviews (KII) having long experience and knowledge in Nepal-India migration. For this research, Bhimdatt Municipality of Kanchanpur district is selected for the study area. The study showed that about 30 percent people from Bhimdatt Municipality migrate to the capital city Delhi. Similarly, 16 percent to Karnataka, 11.4 percent to Punjab, 10.6 percent to Maharashtra, 7.2 percent to Uttarakhand, 6 percent to Haryana and others move to Gujarat, Himanchal Pradesh, Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan. This finding challenges Revenstein's theory of migration in which the distance between the origins determines the volume of migration between place of origin and destination i.e., higher the distance, lower the volume of migration and vice versa. The main source of information seems to be generated with relatives and friends (50.9%) for both the migrants. The movement of Nepali labour migrants is found to different big Indian cities with longer distance however Indian labour migrants to Nepal choose near distance as their destination. Near distance, open border and social relationship (network) are the main causes of selection of their particular destinations.

Joan Robinson through the lenses of sixty years of book reviews

Abstract In this paper, we discuss Joan Robinson’s views through the lenses of her 127 book reviews, an activity which she engaged in throughout her life. A complete list of them—so we hope—is presented with full reference to the original place of publication, in the form of tables arranged by decade. We follow her work in chronological order, taking each decade as the framework to analyse what she was working on at the time and show how her reviews were—at times loosely, at times closely—connected with her scientific and political concerns. In some cases, the reviews amounted to review essays, which she reprinted in her Collected Economic Papers, but even in the short reviews she managed to give full expression to her views on the topic or author, and thus they offer us additional insights into her mode of thought, examples of her crisp prose and forceful style of argument. Her reviews ranged over a great variety of topics, reflecting over 60 years of the development of economics, or at least those aspects and topics which she deemed relevant at the time, and so they come to form part of her intellectual legacy, as much as her published work.

Effects Of Involvement On The Loyalty Of Specialty Coffee Consumers

With continuing maturity of the coffee market, consumers have gone beyond the need for caffeine consumption and begun paying attention to coffee varieties, specific tastes of coffee from different places of origin, and information transparency in place-of-origin labels. This trend has not only changed the entire coffee market but also given birth to specialty coffee. In contrast to fast brewing coffee products available in convenience stores, specialty coffee emphasizes the acquisition of coffee expertise from an experiential activity. Notably, levels of customer involvement vary largely between individuals, greatly affect consumers’ willingness to purchase and loyalty following such experiential activities. Few studies have explored this difference. Therefore, this study targeted specialty coffee consumer and explored the relationships between experiential marketing, consumer involvement, and consumer loyalty. The data collected using a questionnaire were processed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 for statistical analyses. The results revealed significant positive relationships between experiential marketing, consumer involvement, and consumer loyalty. Consumer involvement increased when the coffee sellers had sufficient knowledge of specialty coffee. This in turn led to increased customer loyalty. In sum, coffee suppliers are recommended to pay attention to every detail of experiential activities and continually improve product quality, thereby enhancing their profits.

Genealogy of Depopulation Processes in Spain: A Case Study of Emigration among Young University Students

In the mid-20th century, the region of Extremadura suffered an important exodus of unskilled young people in search of work opportunities that would allow them to survive. Nowadays, the phenomenon is repeating itself, but with certain differences. The current emigrant is somewhat more adult, more qualified and without a specific job in the place of destination. The current study focuses on a survey carried out at the University of Extremadura among students in the areas of social sciences, humanities, legal sciences and economics in order to understand their intention to emigrate abroad once they have finished their studies. We found that there is no distinction between genders and that most of the students have direct or indirect cases of international mobility in their environment, which encourages them to take this option into account if, once they have finished their studies, their job aspirations are not satisfied in their place of origin. This reflects certain similarities with the migratory movement that took place in the mid-20th century; however, today, the objectives pursued with this mobility are quite different.

Pregnancy-Related Deaths by Hispanic Origin, United States, 2009-2018.

Objective: To describe pregnancy-related mortality among Hispanic people by place of origin (country or region of Hispanic ancestry), 2009-2018. Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of pregnancy-related deaths among Hispanic people, stratified by place of origin (Central or South America, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Other and Unknown Hispanic), using Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System data, 2009-2018. We describe distributions of pregnancy-related deaths and pregnancy-related mortality ratios (number of pregnancy-related deaths per 100,000 live births) overall and by place of origin for select demographic and clinical characteristics. Results: For 2009-2018, the overall pregnancy-related mortality ratio among Hispanic people was 11.5 pregnancy-related deaths per 100,000 live births (95% confidence intervals [CI]: 10.8-12.2). In general, pregnancy-related mortality ratios were higher among older age groups (i.e., 35 years and older) and lower among those with higher educational attainment (i.e., college degree or higher). Approximately two in five pregnancy-related deaths among Hispanic people occurred on the day of delivery through 6 days postpartum. Place of origin-specific pregnancy-related mortality ratios ranged from 9.6 (95% CI: 5.8-15.0) among people of Cuban origin to 15.3 (95% CI: 12.4-18.3) among people of Puerto Rican origin. Hemorrhage and infection were the most frequent causes of pregnancy-related deaths overall among Hispanic people. People of Puerto Rican origin had a higher proportion of deaths because of cardiomyopathy. Conclusions: We identified differences in pregnancy-related mortality by place of origin among Hispanic people that can help inform prevention of pregnancy-related deaths.

Resonant Effects of a Bar on the Galactic Disk Kinematics Perpendicular to Its Plane

Detailed analysis of kinematics of the Milky Way disk in the solar neighborhood based on the GAIA DR3 catalog reveals the existence of peculiarities in the stellar velocity distribution perpendicular to the galactic plane. We study the influence of resonances—the outer Lindblad resonance and the outer vertical Lindblad resonance—of a rotating bar with stellar oscillations perpendicular to the plane of the disk, and their role in shaping the spatial and the velocity distributions of stars. We find that the Z and VZ distributions of stars with respect to LZ are affected by the outer Lindblad resonance. The existence of bar resonance with stellar oscillations perpendicular to the plane of the disk is demonstrated for a long (large semi-axis 5 kpc) and fast rotating bar with Ωb=60.0kms−1kpc−1. We show also that, in the model with the long and fast rotating bar, some stars in the 2:1 OLR region deviate far from their original places, entering the bar region. A combination of resonance excitation of stellar motions at the 2:1 OLR region together with strong interaction of the stars with the bar potential leads to the formation of the group of ‘escapees’, i.e., stars that deviate in R and Z—directions at large distances from the resonance region. Simulations, however, do not demonstrate any noticeable effect on VZ-distribution of stars in the solar neighborhood.
