The article is devoted to the study of the system of artistic images of Russian wedding  folklore of the modern Udmurt Republic.  The relevance of the work is due to the fact that the temporal processes of the wedding ritual itself, as well as family-clan  and natural rhythms are first considered on the example of wedding folklore that exists in the territory of the modern republic. Particular attention is paid to the images of heavenly bodies, the kingdom of plants, zooand ornithomorphic   images,   the   symbolism   of sound signals. The sun  is  shown  to  be the central artistic  image  associated  with  the display of time. As a result of the analysis, it was found that  semantically,  the  images of evening dawn, morning dawn and night have significant  similarities.  The  question of the possible division of the night into two time periods is considered — a dark one, which does not correspond to a wedding situation, and a light one,  which  regulates the course of ritual time. It  is  shown  that  the image of the night is a symbol of the first conjugal intercourse. It has been established that the mention of the trumpet and the bell   in the songs emphasizes  the  sacred  status  of the wedding ceremony.  It is  noted  that  in wedding songs, the symbolism of the sound of the bell and trumpet merges with  the symbolism of the sun. It was revealed that in the description of emporal processes there may be categories of morality.

The Greenhouse Effect acts to slow the escape of infrared radiation to space, and hence warms the atmosphere. The oceans derive almost all of their thermal energy from the sun, and none from infrared radiation in the atmosphere. The thermal energy stored by the oceans is transported globally and released after a range of different time periods. The release of thermal energy from the oceans modifies the behaviour of atmospheric circulation, and hence varies climate. Based on ocean behaviour, New Zealand can expect weather patterns similar to those from 1890-1922 and another Little Ice Age may develop this century.

The article is devoted to the work of the Russian painter Dobrolyubov Vladimir Petrovich, who in 2020 marks the centenary of his birth. Special attention is paid to the presentation of his ideals, which inspired the artist to create wonderful paintings depicting the world around him, landscapes and landscapes, urban environment, monuments of ancient Russian architecture, decoration and interiors of the oldest churches from Moscow to Yaroslavl, Pereslavl Zalessky, Staraya Ladoga. From the Russian North to the Crimean mountains and Tsemeskiy Bay. Vladimir Petrovich Dobrolyubov (05.07.1920-24.02.1975) - a student of I.I. Mashkov, N.P. Krymov, G.G. Ryazhskiy, K.F. Yuon, V.V. Krainev, P.I. Kotov, V.I. Finogeev, K.G. Dorokchov. Dobrolyubov V.P., was the veteran of the Great Patriotic war (1941-1945), - the 75th anniversary of the Victory which we celebrate this 2020 year. The author analyzes the paintings of V.P. Dobrolyubov - a natural colorist, nugget, artist, philosopher and citizen of his country. His thoughts on the art of painting based on the beauty and traditions of the Russian school of iconography were the Foundation, the spiritual platform, for all of his painting, created in a short period of life. The author's paintings Dobrolyubov V.P. is of well-deserved interest for art studies and make a worthy, significant contribution to it not only by their high appreciation of color, color spot, and lyrical appearance, but also as works of the history of Russian painting and in particular, the Moscow school of painting, 30-60-ies of XX century, of which he was a representative. Also noteworthy is his understanding of art, his creative pictorial, original, author's handwriting, and also an amazing vision of color and color spot, his own, individual. As well as the interpretation of personal perception, the attitude and understanding of the fundamental foundations of realism in the domestic and world fine arts, expressed and approved in their own, no one repeats, coloristic pictorial language. Dobrolyubov V.P. considered icons, the Russian icon, as a work of art, which following the tradition of Byzantine masters of iconography, undoubtedly constitutes the core of the soul of the artistic creative process, and especially the work of iconographers such as Andrei Rublev, Theophanes the Greek, Vladimir-Suzdal, Moscow, Yaroslavl school of icon-painting as an objective reality of the world of spiritual images in their own work. Artistic creativity, in his opinion, as a representative of the Moscow school of painting, is not an abstract search and self-expression of the artist's beliefs and ideas, but the result of a deep, divine transformation of the soul, its path to truth and to the foundations of realistic art, through the perception of artistic images. Russian iconography of the XIV-XVII centuries, brought to Russia from Byzantium, Dobrolyubov V. P. considered the Russian school of iconography the main, unsurpassed, imperishable Foundation and a masterpiece of Russian fine art. Everywhere in his memories, in his understanding of the basics of art, the artist renounces the concept of copying the image and the icon for him is like a conditional historical symbol, indicating the spiritual image of past centuries. An artistic image is born in the soul of the painter and of course exists outside of iconography, but then it can appear in the minds of other people who contemplate the master's canvases, in which the image of the universal universe and the beauty of the universe is encoded, if you want, encrypted in the very deep images of Russian iconography. Therefore, the icon itself, its image and composition, as a work of art created once in the depths of past centuries, is personified in the mind of the author, as grace and inspiration sent from heaven. Dobrolyubov V.P. confirms the aesthetic and spiritual platform created for any person. Therefore, Russian icons created as spiritually and artistically perfect, self-sufficient works of Russian culture are inextricably linked to the General process for Russian art history, its ability to testify to its highest level in the hierarchy of world art. For the artist Dobrolyubov, Russian iconography is an inseparable part of his spiritual platform, and his works of painting – and, temple art, in conjunction with ancient Russian architecture, with the interiors of churches and their decoration, as well as the sacrament of divine services, baptisms, weddings and funerals, and are the most essential foundation, being, as the very artistic image of all his art work and now, in 2020. Today, 45 years after his death in 1975, his artistic paintings are just as beautiful and heartfelt.

В Институте русской литературы Российской академии наук (г.Санкт-Петербург) хранится рукопись С.И.Гуляева, которая состоит из пяти тетрадей: Песни обрядные, Свадебные обряды, Песни круговые, Песни девичьи, женские и юнацкие, Знахарство. В совокупности они составляют самый ранний сборник народной поэзии Алтайского горного округа. Некоторые тексты народных песен и заговоров, а также фрагменты описания свадебного обряда Гуляев записал на Алтае еще в 1820-е годы. Частично материалы сборника были опубликованы в 1848 году в статье Этнографические очерки Южной Сибири . Затем до 1881 года автор вносил в рукопись дополнения: новые записи текстов песен и заговоров, этнографические описания свадебного обряда. В тетрадь Песни круговые он вложил черновик статьи о выпускнике Санкт-Петербургской консерватории, оперном и камерном певце Иване Васильевиче Матчинском, выступившем летом 1875 года с концертом в Барнауле. К статье Гуляев приклеил титульный лист тетради круговых песен, после чего в письме сообщил М.И.Писареву об окончании работы над сборником народной поэзии. Позднее в тетрадь Свадебные обряды собиратель внес описание умыкания невест у крещенской Иордани, случившееся в Барнауле в 1881 году. Тогда же он написал письмо С.Н.Шубинскому с вопросом о возможной публикации своего собрания в журнале Исторический вестник . Не считая заговоров, в четырех тетрадях рукописи содержится 291 текст хороводных (98), свадебных (84), лирических (72), плясовых (16) песен, причитаний (3 свадебных и 2 похоронных), духовных стихов (15) и рацейки (1), из них 156 не были опубликованы при жизни автора. В приложении к статье приводится содержание этих тетрадей сборника с отсылками к публикациям. Некоторые песни из собрания Гуляева в 19662016 годы удалось записать с напевами во время экспедиций Московской консерватории в южные районы Алтайского края. The Manuscript Department of the Russian Literature Institute (St. Petersburg) keeps a Stepan Gulyaevs manuscript, consisting of five notebooks: Ritual Songs, Wedding Ritual, Round Songs, Girls, Womens and Mens Songs, Sorcery. Together they form the earliest collection of the folk poetry of Altai mountain district. Some of these texts, along with the description of the wedding ceremony, were recorded by Gulyaev in Altai back in the 1820s. Partly the material was published in 1848, in Gulyaevs article Ethnographic Essays of South Siberia. After that, until 1881, he was making additions to the manuscript: the new lyrics, healers spells, and other. Gulyaev enclosed inside the Round Songs notebook the draft of his article about the recital of Ivan V.Matchinsky, a singer and a graduate of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. The recital was held in Barnaul in 1875. Gulyaev glued the title-page of the Round Songs notebook to the article and then reported in the letter to Modest I.Pisarev that he had completed his work on the folk poetry collection. Gulyaev added the Wedding Rituals notebook with the description of the bride theft that happened in 1881 in Barnaul. At the same time he wrote a letter to Sergey Shubinskiy with a question about a possibility to publish his collection in the Historical Herald journal. Besides the spells, the four song notebooks contain 291 lyrics of round songs (98), wedding songs (84), lyrical songs (72), dance songs (16), spiritual poems (15), and other. The contents of these notebooks are attached to the article with the references to the published lyrics. Some of the songs from Gulyaevs collection were recorded with melodies in 19662016 during the expeditions to the southern regions of Altai.

This chapter reviews the question of whether life could exist on Mars today as certain conditions must hold true in order for chemically based life to develop and take root. It points out that Mars has ancient, dried-up river valleys, deltas, and lake-like formations, and the Sun shines brightly on Mars. It also describes Mars' abundant supply of atmosphere and soil that supply a handful of bio-essential elements: carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, phosphorous, and sulfur. The chapter looks at evidence that was summarized in 2016 by Ray Arvidson and James S. McDonnell, which reveals multiple time periods when Mars was warm enough and wet enough for long enough to support life. It mentions the Opportunity rover that explored the ancient wide Endeavor Crater and found that the crater generated a hydrothermal system that would have produced a relatively habitable subsurface environment.

A research aim was to investigate signs peculiar to choreographic works, as objects of copyright. Will consider, what elements of choreographic results can be attributed to maintenance, and also internal and external forms, and also to offer approach to the decision of set certain tasks. Identification of the main features of choreographic works has a special relevance for the methodological provision of forensic expert activity. It was established that the main tasks of the forensic expertise of choreographic works are: the definition of the object of copyright law in the object of research; definition in the object of the research or its part of signs of originality and creative nature; establishing the fact of reproduction of a choreographic work; establishing a method for its use or processing. The results of the conducted research indicate that the elements of the internal form of choreographic works may include the artistic image, composition, structure of the work. The elements of the external form – the choreographic work of the work (choreographic vocabulary of the work, style of speech), that is, the author’s own means and techniques of creating artistic images, with which plastic dance images are created. During realization of expertise it is expedient to investigate the next elements of choreographic language works: composition of motions, gestures, poses, mimicry; harmoniousness of motions and poses, plastic expressiveness and mimicry, rate and rhythm of motion, spatial picture; light and colour decisions; stage sceneries, suits, make-up and hair-dos of actors; individual style of motion (handwriting of motions) etc. At establishment of fact of the complete or partial use of choreographic work an expert on the stage of comparative research conducts the analysis of language elements of the investigated works, methods of their selection, use, mutual combination and correlation. The elements of maintenance and form of these works are thus analysed, in particular, features of expression of their internal and external form. In the process of research the special attention applies on facts that can testify to more early use by other authors of analogical choreographic elements. It also establishes the originality of the used choreographic vocabulary of the work, means and methods of creating artistic images. Key words: choreographic works, forms of work, expert practice, objects of copyright.

The article examines the ethnographic and art-history aspects of the reflection of the artistic image of the ancient Turkic goddess Umay in the modern visual culture of Kazakhstan. The image of this goddess is one of the most widespread in the work of modern Kazakhstani artists, who refer to the symbolism of Tengrian culture in their works. Each of the masters, due to their individual worldview and creative style, interprets it in their own way, thereby enriching the modern visual culture of independent Kazakhstan. It is also necessary to mention that the embodiment of symbols and artistic images of the ancient Turkic Tengrian culture by contemporary artists of Kazakhstan in the visual arts reflects the desire to preserve and rethink the national identity in the context of globalisation processes. The study is an attempt at art criticism analysis based on the application of the hermeneutic methodology of numerous author’s interpretations of the artistic image of the goddess in the fine arts of modern Kazakhstan. The study of the problem of finding and embodying artistic images of the Goddess Umay, reflecting the sacred and mythological aspects of the Tengrian worldview, traditional for the nomadic peoples of the Great Steppe, in the visual culture of modern Kazakhstan, has an important theoretical and educational and methodological value. The conclusions of this study can be used and continued not only in the historical and theoretical works of art historians, cultural experts but also in research and educational-methodical works, when creating courses on the history and theory of fine and applied arts, scientific projects of the teaching staff, students, undergraduates and doctoral students, as well as in the artistic practice and creative activity of contemporary artists.

<p>ABSTRACT</p><p>The building façade of BINUS Alam Sutera campus is designed with wall variations of building envelope both in terms of material use and of openings volume. These conditions encourage the researcher to observe how much the indoor temperature difference in the classroom is correlated to the wall completion of the building envelope. The method used was by measuring indoor and outdoor temperatures at the same time periods (morning, midday, and afternoon) from the classrooms in different floors. The result of the study reveals that indoor temperature increases relatively towards the sun orientation of north-northeast and of west-southwest. The building envelope with precast concrete and window-wall affects indoor temperature relatively higher in the morning and lower in the afternoon. Whereas the building envelope with precast concrete of dead-glass variation affects indoor temperature relatively lower in the morning yet higher in the afternoon.</p><p>Keywords: Building envelopes, indoor temperature, classrooms</p>
