Finals ---xxx--- 1. on sources and “place in life” „Sbrannoi Vojevode“ became known to me as part of the „hesperinos“/vespers – or evening-service in the Russian-orthodox chapel of Neuss at around 2007 and before. I however could evaluate, that this music normally is attached to the „feast of the Annunciation to the Theotokos / Bogorodize / Mother of God“ on 25th of March as „Kondak – Kontakion in the 8th tone“, which latter „tones“ may be compared with „church-scales” in West-European music to a certain extent. We may guess: To sing every now and then “Sbrannoi Vojevode” in an evening-service was simply due to the fact, that our UKRANIAN conductor-lady of that years had a respective PERSONAL PREFERENCE for this “thriving music” ... At that time we had single sheets – partly copies from handwritten manuscripts! - in musical Quality whatever, which refugees had brought from years BEFORE 1990 and I remember, that “Sbrannoj Vojevode” was a photocopy of a PRINTED SOURCE with 3 VOICES only, which however in my “creative chaos” somehow got lost, but is to 90,5 % in the version BBWV 165.1 choir SAB, in which I made only very few changings in the BASSO. Three voices we find normally in Bavarian “Drei-Gesang” and in the elder versions of the 1 “Pochaiv” in Wikipedia EN URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pochaiv 165.0 - Sbrannoi Vojevode – cover 2 2 of 37 “Salzburg Song – and Prayerbook” (say: around 1780-1820) – and we should assume, that 3 voices in especially Ukrainian surroundings may be as well a hint to the SIMPLICITY OF POPULAR CASUAL – and may be: “paraliturgical” - singing. But if we find a MUSICAL EXPERT like Allemanov writing settings for 3 voices, we indeed may take this as hint to his INTENTION, to somehow “purify” the singing-practise in sacred music of HIS time, such counterfighting the ITALIAN POLYPHONY of the Bortnjanski-style and / or the the “handling of as much as possible single voices” by (Alexander Tichonowich) Gretschaninow or the “infiltration” of musical usages stemming from the German PROTESTANT “hymns” (for use in church singing) into Russian Orthodox music-practise of Allemannov's times– not to speak of other IMPORTANT musicians influencing the overall “Orthodox music style” - not to speak of Rachmaninov and Tshaikovsky! - , musicians and composers, that eventually became estimated as “not Russian enough” and which I simply DO NOT KNOW myself, because I have not enough expertise in this field of learning. Somehow “concluding” it “therefor” MIGHT be reasonable to ASSUME, that Allemanov took a relativly “older melody” perhaps with some GREEK-BYZANTINE flavor and running more or less “melismatic”, so that West-European listeners at first may get the impression of “sometimes VAGUE tonal center”, which may be partly caused by ATTACHING THIRDS ONLY BELOW the “chosen melody” and attaching to that with some GENIUS a BASS-LINE. But to not overdo it: In THIS Allemanov-setting there is NOTHING coming even near the “old-fashioned” “(znamenny) RASPJEV”-music - “Знаменный Распьев»“2 , which was not Greek in origin, but from EARLY POPULAR SINGING of “Rus-people” themselves, adapted somehow at some point in time after Christening of the Rus at around 1000 AC under the “apostle-similar King Vladimyr of Kiev” into sacred music for use in church. By the way: We will have later as DOCUMENT an example from ROCOR (Russian Church Abroad) in the U.S., in which someone added a “row of thirds”, but ABOVE the melody. To claim, that this should count as a solution to the sometimes demanding task within training of composition theory, to put the melody “in alto”, might be overdone. Because: In MY restricted of course experience putting thirds ABOVE a given melody produced only in ONE case “satisfactory results”, which was “Pod tvoju milost” (“sub tuum praesiduum”), BBWV 48. From my restricted experience we however would concede, that ADDING THIRDS and other intervals ABOVE a given melody may be understood as trial for some sort of “amplification”, which however in cases may tend to manieristic (or perhaps: fashionistically). Allemanov by such techniQues – of adding thirds BELOW a given melody - may indeed have met the OLDER POPULAR PRACTISE especially in UNEDUCATED RURAL surroundings of remote peasantry. I myself have seen printed “prayer-books” from GREEK-CATHOLIC origins from Ukrainia giving exactly that, which is a line of THIRDS mainly – to which as first step of musical development of course would be IMPROVISIZED 2 See “Знаменный Распьев” (Znamenny Raspjev) in Pravolavnaja Encyclopedia / Православная Энциклопедия, Patriachate Moscom URL http://www.pravenc.ru/text/199937.html - see “Знаменное пение» („Znamennoje penie“) in Wikipedia RU URL https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%BD %D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5_%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%BD %D0%B8%D0%B5 165.0 - Sbrannoi Vojevode – cover 2 3 of 37 a BASS-LINE by the men – or not. The reader from such observations easily may tend to assume, that those “rural surroundings” were “simple and POOR” in cases INDEED, sufficient musical knowledge sometimes restricted to the family-members of the priest only. To have not spoiled the “thriving, near to military touch” in this music, I kindly may remind the user, that I wrote NOT 4/4-measures but “alla breve”, which latter is “counting in halfes” and can be conducted as such – and perhaps may be understood as “skilled choice” from musical methods, the musical professional Allemanov had knowledge and command of. Otherwise I have to apologize, that my organ - and brass-settings are not in accordance with the AKRIBEIA of Orthodox CHURCH LAW, which is a vital source for Russian sacred music regulations, where we find everything except use of human voice strictly interdicted. We may find some sort of “forgiveness” PERHAPS, IF the principles of OIKONOMIA within this same Orthodox Church law applied – or not! It is however not here the proper occasion to repeat from my research3, that there are REAL DANGERS coming from a combination of TODAY ADVANCED “hyperphysics” as in books of Joseph P. Farrell for first time explained to the broader audience with today APPARATIVE MUSIC displayed in CHURCHES, may be PERHAPS, to “worship other Gods”, which might not have at heart the “common good” of this mankind, so that from other side the concerns of Orthodoxy for proper handling of music suddenly seem more reasonable. Which phrasing the words may indicate enough, that we precautionary may take into consideration possibilities, that on this planet MIGHT have dwelled SEVERAL mankinds – with different numbers of FINGERS of the hand for instance as in case of the ICA4-complex from Peru (hinting to times of DINOSAURS 50-60 million years ago, not to be mixed up with the “stone-map” on the Dashka-stone from Southern Ural hinting to - perhaps! - 120 million years ) – and other GROUPS of GODS, NOT stopping just with the URANIAN Gods of the GREEK mythology previous to the Gods of the Zeus-family and PERHAPS entertaining – say 10 – 3 million years ago? - a “cosmic war”5 within our planetary system, in which we should today assume possibilities for “weaponry based on music” for instance.

ALEXANDER LUKASHEVICH, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION, AT THE 1212th MEETING OF THE OSCE PERMANENT COUNCIL 17 January 2019 On the situation in Ukraine and the need to implement the Minsk agreements Mr. Chairperson, The start of the new year 2019 has not brought any significant improvement in the situation in Ukraine. The Ukrainian leadership has proved unable to refrain from armed provocations in Donbas or measures that result in a further deterioration of the situation across the country. The New Year/Christmas ceasefire declared in Donbas is not being fully respected. It has helped to reduce the number of skirmishes but has not led to “complete silence”. It would appear that the Ukrainian Government had and still has no intention of observing the ceasefire. This is confirmed by the observations made by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) – within a day of the announcement of the ceasefire, some Ukrainian soldiers admitted to the Mission that they had not even received any such orders. During the first day of the ceasefire 162 violations were recorded. The shelling did not even stop on the eve of the peaceful holiday of Orthodox Christmas. On 16 January, company tactical exercises involving live firing were carried out by a mechanized unit of the 17th Separate Tank Brigade (Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhia region), during which offensive operations were practised. The Ukrainian Government has persistently paid no heed to the disengagement of forces and hardware in Stanytsia Luhanska.

However, different language editions of Wikipedia differ significantly in terms of their information coverage. We present a systematic comparison of information coverage in English Wikipedia (most exhaustive) and Wikipedias in eight other widely spoken languages (Arabic, German, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish). We analyze the content present in the respective Wikipedias in terms of the coverage of topics as well as the depth of coverage of topics included in these Wikipedias. Our analysis quantifies and provides useful insights about the information gap that exists between different language editions of Wikipedia and offers a roadmap for the Information Retrieval (IR) community to bridge this gap. Keywords: Wikipedia, Knowledge base, Information gap 1. Introduction other with respect to the coverage of topics as well as Wikipedia is the largest web-based encyclopedia covering the amount of information about overlapping topics.

  • Modeling Popularity and Reliability of Sources in Multilingual Wikipedia
    information Article Modeling Popularity and Reliability of Sources in Multilingual Wikipedia Włodzimierz Lewoniewski * , Krzysztof W˛ecel and Witold Abramowicz Department of Information Systems, Pozna´nUniversity of Economics and Business, 61-875 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] (K.W.); [email protected] (W.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 31 March 2020; Accepted: 7 May 2020; Published: 13 May 2020 Abstract: One of the most important factors impacting quality of content in Wikipedia is presence of reliable sources. By following references, readers can verify facts or find more details about described topic. A Wikipedia article can be edited independently in any of over 300 languages, even by anonymous users, therefore information about the same topic may be inconsistent. This also applies to use of references in different language versions of a particular article, so the same statement can have different sources. In this paper we analyzed over 40 million articles from the 55 most developed language versions of Wikipedia to extract information about over 200 million references and find the most popular and reliable sources. We presented 10 models for the assessment of the popularity and reliability of the sources based on analysis of meta information about the references in Wikipedia articles, page views and authors of the articles. Using DBpedia and Wikidata we automatically identified the alignment of the sources to a specific domain. Additionally, we analyzed the changes of popularity and reliability in time and identified growth leaders in each of the considered months. The results can be used for quality improvements of the content in different languages versions of Wikipedia.

    E3S Web of Conferences 217, 01007 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202021701007 ERSME-2020 Sacred architecture in the area of historical Volhynia Liliia Gnatiuk1,* 1National Aviation University, Interior Design Department, Faculty of architecture, construction and design, Kyiv, Ukraine Abstract. This article discusses the genesis and historical development of the sacred complexes of historic Volhyn. Based on historical and architectural analysis, it is presented that sacred complexes of historic Volhynia were built according to the canons of temple architecture, and at the same time they have their own characteristics, related to national traditions and regional features which appeared as a result of the process of forming Christianity as a religion associated with national development in the specific study territory. The results of a comprehensive analysis of historical and archival documents found in the archives of Ukraine, Poland and Russia, as well as field research are presented. Results of system and theoretical research of significant retrospective analysis of canonical, historical and political prerequisites of sacral complexes were generalized. The concept of sacred complex structures throughout ХІ-ХІХ th centuries is suggested in correlation with the change of religious identity formation and differentiation according to religious requirements. Existence of autochthonous traditions and genuine vector of the Volhynia’s sacred complex development, considering the specific geopolitical location between East and West in the area where two different cultures collide with each other has been proved. The work is shifting statements concerning direct borrowing of architectural and stylistic components of architectural and planning structure and certain decorative elements. 1 Introduction Architecture more than other forms of art reflects the state of society, its political level, the degree of economic development, aesthetic tastes and preferences.

Following the political, religious and intellectual activity of two expatriates and close friends, Alexander Sturdza and Konstantinos Oikonomos, it explores how the idea of Europe was visited and how these two intellectuals and politicians negotiated and renegotiated to what extent their respective communities (Russian and Greek) were part of Europe, with religion as the central axis and the notions of the Orthodox world and Orthodox East in the arsenal of both. The first decades of the nineteenth century brought Russia and the Greeks to the forefront of the European scene.
