ABSTRACT
The threat of the Covid-19 epidemic quickly influenced the development of remote working tools using modern IT technologies. This has led to the emergence of a significant number of cultural practices for remote (virtual) use. Among them are experimental attempts to create volumetric virtual models that could be considered sculptures. At the same time, these developments have served the emergence of cul- turological problems: solving questions of uniqueness, artistic significance of works of this kind. In this regard, this article provides the results of a scientific study of the specifics of creating virtual sculptures, authorship issues and artistic significance of virtual content, identified as a result of an examination of the authoring develop- ments of the AR-application "REMS, " as well as works presented at the exhibition "More than a sculpture. " In the example of the author's development of content for AR (augmented reality) installations, it turns out that virtual content can significant- ly change the content and ideological significance of art work. The artistic compo- nent of these objects determines their designation as art works, objects of fine art. In this way, the uniqueness and artistic significance of virtual sculptures as three-di- mensional graphic objects created using augmented reality technology is confirmed.
ABSTRACT
Research objective.To evaluate the features of pregnancy and delivery course, fetal and newborn status in women with confirmed COVID-19. Materials and methods. A retrospective clinical and statistical analysis of 106 pregnancy and delivery case histories and medical records of newborn from women with a gestation period of 22-41 weeks with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 was carried out.Women were treated and delivered on the temporarily converted beds for providing obstetric care to pregnant women, women in labor and postpartum women with suspected and infected COVID-19 and gynecological patients of Municipal Non-Profit Enterprise“Kyiv City Maternity Hospital No. 3”from September 2020 to May 2021. Results. Delivery took place in 48 women.Women with A (II) blood group were significantly predominant - 51 (48.1%) and rhesus-positive factor - 85 (80.2%) (p < 0.05). One third of pregnant women sought medical help on their own - 34 (32.1%). 94 (88.7%) women had a positive PCR test, in 6 (11.3%) cases the diagnosis was confirmed by a rapid test in the admission department;in 6 (11.3%) cases the test results were negative.The leading complaints when pregnant women were hospitalized were fever, cough and fatigue in 85 (80.2%), 90 (84.9%) and 73 (68.9%) pregnant women respectively (p < 0.05). Almost every third woman (39, 36.8%) had a subfebrile temperature - 37.0-37.5 oC. In 15 (14.1%) patients the temperature was 38.0-38.5 oC, in 6 (5.7%) patients over 38.5 oC. At the lung ultrasound the signs of bilateral and polysegmental pneumonia were diagnosed in 44 (53.6%) and 36 (43.9%) cases. Lower and upper lobe pneumonia was diagnosed in 20 (24.4%) pregnant women. Severe lung damage was detected in 29 (35.4%) pregnant women in the form of partial“hepatization”of lung tissue, pleural effusion in the form of black areas of various sizes in the pleural cavity. Conclusions.The main typical SARS CoV-2 complaints in hospitalized pregnant women were fever, cough, fatigue and shortness of breath at rest and during exercise. Such neurological manifestations of SARS CoV-2 as headache, anosmia were noted by almost every third pregnant woman, and parosmia and myalgia were noted by every fourth pregnant woman.The average level of C-reactive protein was above normal in 97.2% of women. Lung ultrasound allowed clearly identifying areas of damage and determining the degree of lung tissue damage. © 2021 Trylyst. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
In response to the global pandemic COVID-19, the possibility of organizing the artistic process without presence of a human being at the moment of the artifact's manufacture is now being updated. This article discusses AI possibilities and prospects for the further development of technological art. The author explores the specifics and uniqueness of works created using AI technology. By the example of the paintings "Next Rembrandt" and "Kandinsky" it is evident that the images reproduce the creative styles of artists with exceptional accuracy, but are not a copy of famous works of art masters. The author finds out the possibilities of algorithmic analysis to identify a certain ratio of iconic systems of musical and pictorial works. The revealed unpredictability for the result of the art work creation process gives rise to a theory of technological singularity in culture. Thus, the author insists on the AI's unique ability to create cultural artifacts in a global pandemic.
