V magistrskem delu se ukvarjamo s sporočilno vrednostjo umetnine. Preko interpretacije umetnine se človek poglablja v upodobljeno. Seznanja se z idejami umetnika, prostora in časa, v katerem umetnik živi oziroma je živel, ter se ob tem sooča z lastnimi percepcijami in razmišljanji o določeni temi. Preko analiziranja umetniških del dobimo vpogled v družbeno življenje. Nas bodo zanimale umetnine, ki tematizirajo menstruacijo, saj odnos do menstruacije pomeni odnos do ženske in njene ženskosti. Menstruacija je v vizualni kulturi (film, televizija, oglaševanje, idr. mediji) pogosto prikazana na način, ki krepi negativno percepcijo pojava. Gre za odnos izključevanja, ignoriranja in zavračanja. Vsestranska prisotnost medijev vpliva na mišljenje in vedenje družbe. Način, kako sprejemamo menstruacijo, pomembno vpliva na življenje posameznice in zato se je o pojavu potrebno pogovarjati. Odnos deklic do menstruacije poleg medijev bistveno konstruirata družina in osnovna šola slednja je odgovorna za privzgajanje kolektivnega odnosa do pojava. Osnovnošolska institucija privzgaja določen odnos do sveta, zato nas bo zanimalo, kakšen odnos do menstruacije se privzgaja v okviru šolskega pouka, in kako povezan je ta s sodobnimi problemi družbe. Za pogovor o aktualnih problemih je primerna sodobna umetnost, saj je ta povezana s sodobnim življenjem in se ukvarja s problemi, ki se dogajajo tukaj in zdaj. Pogovor na temo menstruacije v osnovni šoli je smiselno uresničiti skozi medpredmetno povezovanje, saj je pojav potrebno celostno obravnavati tako z biološkega kot s sociološkega in psihološkega vidika. V nalogi bomo naredili analizo učnih načrtov in ugotavljali, katere predmete bi bilo potrebno povezati za uresničitev medpredmetnih povezav. Zanimalo nas bo, kateri učni cilji in učne vsebine se lahko udejanjajo v medpredmetnem povezovanju. Z umetnostnozgodovinsko metodologijo bomo raziskali, katera umetniška dela so primerna za uporabo v vzgojno-izobraževalnem procesu. In our master's thesis, we examine the value of the message conveyed by artworks. By interpreting a work of art, individuals contemplate the depicted subject matter and the reasons behind it. They become familiar with the artist's ideas, the historical context in which the artist lived, and simultaneously confront their own perceptions and thoughts. Contemporary art serves as a medium for discussing current world issues as it reflects modern life and brings to light current problems. Analyzing artworks allows us to gain insight into society's attitudes towards a broad range of topics. Specifically, we are interested in artworks that center around menstruation, as our relationship with this phenomenon reflects our attitudes towards women and femininity. Visual culture, such as films, television, advertising, and other media, often depicts menstruation in a manner that reinforces negative attitudes towards it, perpetuating an attitude of exclusion, ignorance, and rejection. The omnipresence of media influences societal thinking and behavior, making it essential to address this phenomenon's negative perception. Young individuals' attitudes towards menstruation are significantly shaped by their families and primary schools. Thus, it is crucial to examine the societal attitudes inculcated by these institutions. Elementary schools are responsible for instilling certain attitudes toward the world. Therefore, we will investigate the attitude towards menstruation inculcated within school lessons and its connection to contemporary problems. A holistic approach to discussing menstruation is necessary, incorporating biological, sociological, and psychological perspectives. Cross-curricular integration is an effective way to teach this phenomenon. We will analyze lesson plans and determine which subjects should be connected to achieve cross-curricular integration. We will also explore learning goals and content that can be implemented to achieve this integration. Using the art historical methodology, we will identify works of art suitable for educational purposes.

f the research is to study in detail the work of Ukrainian choreographers - representatives of the "modern" style of Western Ukraine in particular. The research methodology consists in the application of several approaches: analytical for the study of literature on the topic of the article and system; using a range of methods: biographical, culturological, comparative-historical, theoretical generalization - comprehensively achieving the stated goal. Due to the biographical method, we considered the professional and creative experience of choreographers, which explains the sources of their work. The comparative-historical method helped us to study the historically formed features of modern dance, to note its structural, due to which we determined the differences between the previous experience of choreographers and modern choreographic research. The scientific novelty of the study is that we are the first to trace the features of modern dance style in the productions of famous choreographers of Ukraine I.V. Mazur, O.B.Lan, O.V. Martyniuk, A.S. Safonov, S.V. Naenko. The research of this issue helped to understand the main trends in the development of contemporary choreographic art in Ukraine, which are to create a national school of modern dance and the use of choreographic vocabulary in ethnic productions. Conclusions: Due to the research, we followed the development of modern dance on the example of the work of Western Ukrainian choreographers listed above. Our research proves that Ukrainian choreography does not deviate from modern fashion trends. The choreographers of our country develop a fashionable pro-European culture of modern dance in their work, create ballet performances in this style and continue to experiment in their own search for lexical material. Art analysis of the leading Western Ukrainian choreographers of modern dance allowed us to identify special cultural features of modern dance in Western Ukraine, which is manifested in the combination of modern dance with national traditions and the creation of an academic school of this style under the influence of national culture., {"references":["Pastukh V.V.Modern choreographic trends in Galicia (20-30s of the XX century.)

Numerous computer vision applications, such as image classification, have benefited from multi-task learning techniques. However, the relative weighting between each task’s loss is hard to be tuned by hand, causing multi-task learning prohibitive in real applications. In this paper, we present a novel and principled adaptive multi-task learning method that weights multiple loss functions based on lagrange multiplier strategy. Our method starts from the standard multi-task learning model. Based on Gaussian likelihood and lagrange multiplier, we then design an adaptive multi-task learning model to learn suitable weightings of each task and boost performance. In order to validate the feasibility of proposed method, we conduct automatic art analysis tests, including art classification and cross-modal art retrieval. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms several state-of-the-art techniques, showing that performance is improved by up to 4.2% in art classification and 8.7% in cross-modal art retrieval when compared with the latest automatic loss weights learning method.

Discovering the influences between paintings and artists is very important for automatic art analysis. Lately, this problem has gained more importance since research studies are looking into explanations about the origin and evolution of artistic styles, which is a related problem. This paper proposes to build a multiplex artwork representation based on artistic formal concepts to gain more understanding about the aforementioned problem. We complement and built our approach on the previous notion of Creativity Implication Network. We used the recently proposed MultiRank algorithm to suggest possible explanations of the dynamic of some artistic styles. Our results corroborate some well-known facts about the artists analyzed and give qualitative and quantitative information that show the possibilities and strengths of the proposed framework. We plan to expand our analysis to include more abstract artworks. Ideally, we are going to be able to validate more our results and test how our methodology could be used to generate visual artifacts too.

The phenomenon of simultaneous contrast of colors is examined in terms of optical explanation and practical recommendations for artists. But there is a lack of research that explores the results of the application of this contrast to the works of art. This article is dedicated to stylistic analysis of the role of simultaneous contrast in paintings and graphic works. In the first part of the research the reasons and mechanism of mutual influence of adjacent colors are examined on the basis of M. Chevreul’s research “The Law of Simultaneous Contrast of Colors” which explains the optical nature of the contrast by changes in visual perception of the light rays reflected by colored objects. The second part of the article explores the application of this theory to the stylistic analysis of painting and graphic arts. The use of different variations of simultaneous contrast and its consequences for the perception of the images were analyzed on the examples of art works of Titian, artist of J. Tintoretto’s circle, P. P. Rubens, T. Gainsborough, H. Daumier, V. van Gogh, R. Delaunay, M. Vrubel, M. Nesterov, T. Shevchenko, O. Murashko. It allowed to determine the range of artistic problems that simultaneous contrast helps to solve. This artistic device enriches the color scheme, makes it more complex and provokes vibrating, changeful color effect which can have aesthetic and meaningful value. Simultaneous contrast is widely used to balance cold and warm colors and to compensate the missing or poorly manifested component of the color scheme. It is also the instrument for emphasizing the reflexes and shadows on the depicted objects, for creating more convincing and holistic spatial sense in the image. This contrast can play a big role in concretization of the coloristic and material characteristics of different objects. The examples analyzed in this article do not comprise all the variability of simultaneous contrast, they are the basis for further extension of the research.

The article is devoted to the study of the creative heritage of Mykola Eismont – Ukrainian architect, urban planner, set designer and designer of the mid-twentieth century. Research methodology. Art analysis is used to find out the features of the artist’s creative heritage. The research is based on the analysis of materials of museum and archival funds baseed in Ukraine and Russia, as well as – its design developments and scientific works. The scientific novelty of the study is the introduction into scientific circulation of biographical data on the life and career of the architect, artist and designer Mykola Eismont. Conclusion. The life and work of the researched artist and designer testifies the phenomenon when, in the impossibly difficult conditions of Soviet reality, the artist still managed to realize his own creative potential and reveal the paradoxes of history. The study revealed the universal nature of his work, realized in artistic, design and scenographic activities. In particular, the peculiarities of Eismont’s design approach with the use of ethnic motifs in the design of ceramic products are revealed.

The article is devoted to the work of Vitaly Volovich, graphic artist, author of several large cycles of illustrations for classical works: “Heather Honey” by R. Stevenson; Shakespeare's Othello and Richard III; series “Circus”, “Workshop”, etc. The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the artist's creative method on the example of analysis and interpretation of the triptych “Fear and Despair in the Third Empire”. This goal required an integrated methodological approach to the analysis of the artist's work, combining a philosophical, art analysis with elements of literary criticism. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were obtained. First, V.M. Volovich gravitated towards deep generalizations, strove, using the language of symbols and allegories, to find a reflection of the contemporary problems that worried him. Secondly, the triptych “Fear and Despair in the Third Empire” marks a turning point in the artist's work, and is an artistic and philosophical reflection on the drama of B. Brecht. Third, the example of this work shows that the artist does not become an illustrator of a literary text, but, having understood the writer's intention, turns to his central idea and it is for it that he creates his own plastic and symbolic-metaphorical language. Статья посвящена творчеству В.М. Воловича, графика, автора нескольких крупных циклов иллюстраций к классическим произведениям: «Вересковый мед» Р. Стивенсона; «Отелло» и «Ричард III» Шекспира; серий «Цирк», «Мастерская» и др. Цель статьи — раскрыть особенности творческого метода художника на примере анализа и интерпретации триптиха «Страх и отчаяние в Третьей империи». Данная цель потребовала комплексного методологического подхода к анализу творчества художника, сочетающего философский, искусствоведческий анализ с элементами литературоведческого. В результате исследования получены следующие выводы. Во-первых, В.М. Волович тяготел к глубоким обобщениям, стремился, используя язык символов и аллегорий, найти отражение современных, волнующих его проблем. Во-вторых, триптих «Страх и отчаяние в Третьей империи» знаменует поворотный момент в творчестве художника и представляет собой художественно-философскую рефлексию над драмой Б. Брехта. В-третьих, на примере данного произведения видно, что художник становится не иллюстратором литературного текста, а, поняв замысел писателя, обращается к центральной его идее и именно для нее создает свой пластический и символико-метафорический язык.

The purpose of the study is to identify trends in the urban landscape transformations in the painting practices of Ivano-Frankivsk region artists of the 1960s to 1980s and to reveal their artistic and stylistic priorities in terms of both innovativetechniques and traditional heritage. Research methodology. The process of the urban landscape and its artistic featuresformation is considered based on reconstructive and historical-attributive methods, as well as iconographic method, formalstylisticmethod of art analysis, which contribute to the study of urban landscape figurative transformation in its historicaland cultural context. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the specificity of the artistic representation of theurban landscape in the works of Ivano-Frankivsk region artists of the 1960s to 1980s following its historical and culturalrealities. Conclusions. The artistic and stylistic priorities of pictorial searches in the urban landscape genre are revealed inchronological order. We have systematised their typical characteristics according to the historical and artistic stages of theurban landscape genre transformation in the art of Ivano-Frankivsk region of the 1960s to 1980s in the context of thoseart processes. The representation of the city image in the painting practices of Ivano-Frankivsk region artists of the 1960sto 1980s is understood from the point of their stylistic diversity and the author’s peculiarities of figurative language. Thesubjects of urban themes have received different variants following artistic and stylistic priorities: from realistic trendsto formal searches for the landscape, which developed during the 1960s and 1980s. We have profiled the painters whodefined the primary vectors for the urban landscape development of the Ivano-Frankivsk region of the 1960s to 1980s andcharacterised their work through the regional artistic tradition and innovation features.

The article presents an overview of the basic conceptual post-impressionism principles to identify the artistic and sociocultural context of the works by Vincent van Gogh, and the published researches of paintings by Van Gogh, manifesting a diversity of approaches to the artistic heritage of the painter. The authors of the article analyse three pieces by Vincent van Gogh created in 1888: Bedroom in Arles, Interior of a Restaurant in Arles, and The Night Cafe. Belonging to the same period, these paintings were selected to study the way van Gogh translated psychological states and represented a subjective picture of the world through building an illusive architectural space. The article presents the results of the philosophic and art analysis of the given works depicting personal and public spaces, and a conclusion on the significance and role of the interior genre in the art of Vincent van Gogh is made.

The goal of this chapter is to overview the current state of the art analysis of banking performance. For this, we navigate through the literature that has been prospering during the recent decades. In particular, we start with a brief discussion of the ratio analysis for measuring bank performance, which is still very popular in practice. Then we consider such popular productivity and efficiency analysis methods as data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA). Then, we provide a brief review of other econometric methods that became leading in the recent finance literature that involve techniques of casual inference, including difference-in-differences (DD) and regression discontinuity design (RDD).

Finally, use the network database and artificial language recognition algorithm to visualize the intangible cultural heritage art design.

The article is dedicated to unknown facts and unrenowned events in the life of the famous Russian and American architect, sculptor, and artist Roman Verhovskoy. The new data concern all spheres and periods of his life, from his early years and education to emigration to the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and later to the USA. The newly identified facts of professional cooperation with the civil engineer and architect Alexis Boldakoff are brought to light, whose name and projects are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Collection and systematization of the material was performed using the method of historiographical analysis. The article uses original sources from the archives of St.-Petersburg, Holy Trinity Monastery (Jordanville, USA), Bakhmeteff Archive of the University of Columbia (New York, USA), and church archives (states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut). Personal correspondence of the author with the architect’s relatives, periodicals, art sources, and actual objects were of use as well. The main method in the description and analysis of the monuments was a combination of formal style analysis and art analysis. The research made it possible to clarify the details of the cooperation between Roman Verhovskoy and Alexis Boldakoff, analyze the monuments they constructed, and generalize newly acquired factual information. One of the main results of the study is the most complete reconstruction of the biography of the architect Verhovskoy.

Therapies based on injecting living cells into patients offer a huge potential to cure many degenerative and deadly diseases, with hundreds of clinical trials ongoing. Due to their complex nature, a basic understanding of their biochemical and functional characteristics, how to manufacture them for safe and efficacious therapy, and how to effectively implement them in clinical settings are very challenging. Raman spectroscopy could provide an information-rich, non-invasive, non-destructive analytical method to complement the use of conventional sample-based, infrequent and destructive biochemical assays typically employed to analyze and validate the quality of therapeutic cells. This article provides an overview of the current state of emerging cell therapies, and then reviews the related Raman spectroscopic state of the art analysis of human cells. This includes spectroscopic data processing considerations, the scope offered by technical variants of Raman spectroscopy, and analytical difficulties encountered by spectroscopists working with therapeutic cells. Finally, we outline a number of salient challenges as cell therapy products are translated from the laboratory to the clinic, and propose how Raman spectroscopy-based solutions could address these challenges.

The purpose of the article is to trace the stylistic features and the artistic language evolution of the portrait motifs of the daughters of Yaroslav the Wise based on the analysis of the fine arts works of the 11th – 21st centuries. The main methodological principles of the article are the system approaches of mutually complement methods: theoretical (analysis of art sources), empirical and theoretical (theoretical and art analysis of artistic content). The scientific novelty of the article. A thourough analysis of the stylistic features of the artistic language of the portrait motifs of the daughters of Yaroslav the Wise was carried out. The authors of the article made a conceptualization of the material gathered by the art historians, the considerable part of which has not been compiled into one system till now. Conclusions. To this day, there is no single work of that time that could present a faithful image of any members of Yaroslav the Wise’s family. The works of art that are mentioned in this study do not reflect the true appearance of the queens and are the imagination of artists. The works of art that we found were created against the backdrop of significant and heterogeneous socio-historical processes that took place in Europe for a long time, which, in turn, influenced the formation of the images of these people. The portrayal of these figures was formed in the context of the interaction of objective and subjective processes in society, which naturally found reflection in works of art. Learning the achievements of the historical and cultural European heritage should open up new perspectives for the scientific and artistic development of this topic. Further research will be of general cultural significance, which will intensify relations between many European countries and give inspiration to artists on the way to search for updated ideas of images of European queens of the 11th century.

Additive manufacturing has been gaining ground both in the industry and in the academic world due to its flexibility, easy operation, and the possibility of making products in the most varied formats. Also, it can be observed that magnets are largely produced using a sintering process, although it results in high (BH)max, this process is very limited in relation to the shapes of the magnets, thus, additive manufacturing can be used to produce complex shaped magnets. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the state of the art regarding the applied methods to produce permanent magnets and materials for magnet production. Considering this, a literature review was conducted using the methodology called mapping study to select the articles to be used, thus, demonstrating that the main compound used as the magnetic particle is NdFeB alloy powder. Finally, it can be concluded that the magnets produced by additive manufacturing have lower (BH)max than those produced by sintering processes, which despite having high filling capacity of magnetic particles increases the magnet’s magnetic capacity, limits their shape, those by manufacturing magnets can be produced with complex shapes, the heating temperature may reduce the maximum energy, and the coercive force improves it.

The paper presents a state-of-the-art analysis of modern drowsiness detection algorithms based on computer vision technologies as well as considers the problem of yawning detection for the vehicle driver. Based on the analysis of the literature we classify drowsiness detection techniques into three groups: the driving pattern of the vehicle; psychophysiological characteristics of drivers; and computer vision techniques for driver monitoring. The computer vision methods look most promising since they are non-intrusive for the driver. The importance of the driver drowsiness monitoring system rises from the number of drowsiness-related accidents. Yawning is an important identifier of drowsiness, even though it is not the most reliable drowsiness indicator. Some of the methods that are based on computer vision are presented and discussed in the paper. We developed and evaluated a yawning detection model. We analyzed available datasets for yawning detection and conclude that the existing datasets have to be enhanced by pictures taken in real driving conditions. We propose yawning detection dataset-preparation as well as detection model development and evaluation.
