Historical Prerequissites and Features of the Development of Ukrainian-Lithuanian Cooperation

The aim of the study is to analyze the process of formation and development of Ukrainian and Lithuanian interstate relations in the political sphere during the 1990s of the XX century – the beginning of the XXI century as the most effective and mass form of communication between the two countries. The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of scientific knowledge: historicism, consistency and objectivity. At the same time, the methodological structure of the article provides for the analysis of the foreign policy of the Republic of Lithuania at three levels: theoretical and conceptual (analysis of the ideological and theoretical foundation of foreign policy in the context of the new geopolitical situation in Europe and the new realities and challenges of the modern system of international relations); doctrinal (analysis of foreign policy concepts and regulatory support for foreign policy); practical and political (analysis of the implementation of priority areas of foreign policy and the political and strategic course of both countries). The scientific novelty lies in the implementation of a systematic analysis of the development of Ukrainian and Lithuanian relations in the late XX – early XXI centuries, showing their development in a pan-European context, taking into account the geopolitical priorities of Ukraine and Lithuania. Conclusions. It was found out that the political sphere is the main area of cooperation in which Ukraine and the Republic of Lithuania actively cooperate and are mutually interested, which in turn acted as an imperative for establishing relations in the field of economy, culture, security and defense. In this context, the experience of the Republic of Lithuania should be taken into account, in which the consensus of political forces on the country’s foreign policy orientation was reached almost immediately after the declaration of independence.

Choledochal cyst type I-A: a case report

Choledocal cysts are cystic dilations that can occur in a single or multiple form in the biliary tree. Cysts can be congenital or acquired and are associated with numerous anatomical abnormalities. The presence of pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, jaundice and palpable abdominal mass form the classic triad that is present in 15% to 45% of patients. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman patient, who she was admitted with abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea and vomiting, which evolved into jaundice. When seeking medical care, a large liver cyst and cholelithiasis. Imaging exams revealed liver cyst in segments IV-B,V and VI, lithiasis and biliary polyp.

Structural Design Adapt to Building Mass Forms on Contoured Land

Warung Salse is located in Dago Giri Bandung, West Java, is a public building built on contoured ground. The criteria for the material used are light material, do not increase the carrying capacity of the soil and do not cause subsidence. The structure of Warung Salse adjusts to the shape of the building mass and the conditions of the ground contour so that the roof has a multifunctional role as a roof and wall covering with a sloping portal structure, seen from its shape that reaches the ground in front and shrinks behind following the view of the Warung Salse area. The research was conducted using descriptive analysis method, discussing structures with mass associated with mass order theory, mass form, roof structures, columns, beams, and structures on contoured soil. From the final result it will be known the shape of the building mass and the structural model of the contoured soil.

TEACHING ME CHING METHODS A THODS AT OPTION T OPTIONAL MATHEMATICS

Background. The article discusses the problems of introducing optional classes into the secondary school — a fundamentally new mass form of education, examines the methods and techniques of teaching and their appropriate use in optional classes. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the choice of students in elective classes is based on the principle of voluntariness. Methods. The article expresses the importance of focusing mathematical electives on the development of teaching methods for topics and sections of mathematics that are included in high school programs. Results. 1. It should be noted that the students of mathematical electives themselves prefer creative forms and methods of teaching and strive not to be passive listeners. 2. Characterizing the whole complex of teaching methods used in elective classes in mathematics, it should be noted that in the proper sense of the word teaching methods are used here the same as in teaching the basic course of mathematics. 3. In the general course of mathematics, the teaching method is used only fragmentarily, the essence of which lies in the independent disclosure of new content by students with the unobtrusive help of the teacher. Conclusion. What is described in this article should not be understood as a decisive rejection of lectures in general. On the contrary, under certain conditions, a lecture method of presentation (say, a survey lecture on a complex problem) can be useful.

Three scale models for a photographic world: Benjamin, constellation, image and scale

This article sets out to substantiate an understanding of the photographic image as a constellation of scaled relations, with a focus on the significance of historically neglected questions of scale in and for the present. It explores two recurrent themes in Walter Benjamin’s writings: his celebrated methodological-epistemological concept of constellation and his less often remarked fascination for relationships of scale, processes of scaling and the scale effects these produce. These are investigated in light of the mutable and composite character of the contemporary photographic image and its unprecedented scale as a mass form. Key phenomena and prevalent conceptions of photography are approached as already structured by intercalated facts, operations and experiences of scale, scaling and scalability. On this basis, a constellation of three historical essays that examine questions of scale in photography is constructed. The guiding aim of this construction is that such a constellation might stand as a pre-history of scale and its significance in and for photography today.

Identity on the Facade of Roi Et Provincial Hall

Roi Et Provincial Hall has been redeveloped according to the policy of the Government Center System Organization, which designates a provincial hall as the center of the provincial government and shall express its local identity. Roi Et Province, thus, has carried out the redevelopment project of the provincial hall of which design has been adhered to a tetrahedron style (a building with four gable ends), a standard building design provided from the central government, and combined with its local identity derived from architectural elements on the facades to present inherited meaning to people’s perception. This study aims to find the architectural elements which provide identity on the facade of Roi Et Provincial Hall. The method used includes an investigation of the architectural elements on the facades which affect perception in 3 aspects: mass-form, ornament and texture. The study consists of three steps: 1) an investigation of the old hall’s facade, 2) an investigation of local identity buildings’ facade, and 3) an interpretation of identity to a design. Finally, a 3D model of Roi Et Provincial Hall is developed.Keywords: identity; facades; perception; provincial hall; Roi EteISSN 2514-751X © 2020 The Authors.

Development of mortar for laying and coating with pineapple fibers

ABSTRACT Brazil is one of the largest producers of pineapple in the world, which, in addition to bringing substantial benefits, contributes to increasing waste generation in the stages of processing, aiming at its consumption. The Brazilian environmental legislation has been increasingly more restrictive with respect to the disposal of solid waste, whether domestic, industrial or agro-industrial, which has stimulated studies related to the use of these materials in several matrices. This study aimed to evaluate the potentiality of using the natural fiber of pineapple (Ananas comosus), extracted from its leaves, as reinforcing material in cementitious composites. For this purpose, natural fiber extracted from the pineapple crown was incorporated in different percentages in relation to the cement mass: 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10%, and the fibers obtained were submerged in aqueous NaOH solution with 5% concentration in volume, for 1 h at room temperature. The following variables were evaluated: consistency, water retention, incorporated air, mass density in hardened state, mechanical strength, water absorption by immersion and capillarity, besides verifying the influence of the mode of fiber incorporation. It was observed that the treatment with NaOH solution and the percentage of natural pineapple fiber incorporated in up to 5% in relation to the cement mass form mortars with technological feasibility.

Regularities of Changes in the Granulometric Composition of the Bentonite Clay of the Zyryansk Deposit Activated by Pressure

High pressures in the soil mass form the specific properties of the soil, in particular the effect on the particle size distribution. The purpose of the work is to assess the change in the granulometric composition of bentonite clay under the pressure. Experimental data on the pressure (P = 0-800 MPa) influence on the change in particle size distribution in clay samples from the deposit are presented. As a result of the experiment, two classes were identified in which the change in the content of fractions is different. These changes are due to the aggregation and dispersion of particles. Mathematical models have been calculated that make it possible to predict the content of fractions depending on the clay activation pressure
