National artistic, cultural-and-artistic, artistic-and-technological, scientific, educational, cultural and intellectual-and-creative capable part of a human capital asset (involved in the systems of the national arts and creative production, including government management organizations in the field of cultural and creative industries) must support the organization of national arts and cultural platforms of interaction based on communicative cooperation of groups of arts and cultural production, as well as comprehensive rebroadcasting of the best-produced products by unions of arts and cultural production by informative, mass media, arts, educational governmental means (tangible and intangible). The country should unite the efforts of specialists in this sector in the field of institutional communication of cultural-and-arts interaction, should support the formation of bases for the practical production of the national arts and cultural production of all branches of the sector of cultural and creative industries of Ukraine.

Problem statement. The relevance of the subject is due to the fact that the renaissance process of Huang Ji’s personality and body of work began in the 1990’s when the effects of the false assessment of the music activity of the Chinese composer as a traitor of national interests formed during the “cultural revolution” were eliminated. The aim of the article is to provide a genre and style analysis of Huang Ji’s instrumental works, appraising their significance in the context of the development of the national music culture of China of the future. Research methodology is based on the method of historicism, axiological and musicological and analytical approaches, and genre and style analysis. Results. The modern interpretation of Huang Ji’s creative personality as the founder of Chinese music culture, based on the introduction of the principles of European professional traditions into the national art, requires an analytical study of the entire building of the works of the composer, in particular, instrumental (symphonic ouverture «In memoriam», orchestral play «Fantastic city», polyphonic piano works Prelude «Subject from Bach», «Two two-part inventions», three fugues in the strict style), which have remained until now outside the interests of Chinese musicologists, who traditionally pay more attention to the vocal creative work of the founder of the national classics of the twentieth century. The study of Huang Ji’s symphony and piano pieces, written during his traineeship at the School of Music in Oberlin (second half of the 1920’s), has made it possible to appraise the historical significance of the Chinese composer as the founder of national instrumental art, Europeanized in origin, based on mastering the classical genres, forms, themes and foundations of composer’s technique. Novelty. An attempt is made at identifying the genre and style features of Huang Ji’s instrumental body of work, based on the traditions of European professionalism, in the fields of symphonic and piano music. The practical significance. The research has important implications for studying the significance Huang Ji’s instrumental body of work in the context of the development of the national music culture of China of the future.

In the interwar period, biologists employed a diverse set of holistic approaches that were connected to different research methodologies. Against this background, this article explores attempts in the 1920s and 1930s to negotiate quantitative and qualitative methods in the field of neurophysiology. It focuses on the work of two scientists on different sides of the Atlantic: the Dutch animal psychologist and physiologist Frederik J.J. Buytendijk and the American neuropsychologist Karl S. Lashley, specifically analyzing their critical correspondence, 1929–1932, on the problems surrounding the term intelligence. It discusses the inexplicable anomalies in neurophysiology as well as the reliability of quantitative and qualitative methods. While in his laboratory work Lashley adhered to a strictly analytic approach, Buytendijk tried to combine quantitative methods with phenomenological and hermeneutical approaches. The starting point of their discussion is Lashley’s monograph on Brain Mechanisms and Intelligence (1929) and the rat experiments discussed therein. Buytendijk questioned the viability of the maze-learning method and the use of statistics to test intelligence in animals; he reproduced Lashley’s experiments and then confronted Lashley with his critical findings. In addition to elucidating this exchange, this paper will, more generally, shed light on the nature of the disagreements and shared assumptions prevalent among interwar neurophysiologists. In turn, it contributes to historiographical debates on localization and functionalism and the discrepancy between analytic (quantitative) and interpretative (qualitative) approaches.

The need for methodological development within qualitative clinical caring research

Purpose – The goal of the research was to test a general assumption about culture contribution to sustainable development via the relationship between culture-related indices and the achievement of specific sustainable development goals. Research methodology – Linear regression analysis along with robustness testing was used to test research hypotheses. The data set is represented by 19 explanatory variables and 2 dependent variables, which are proxies for sustainable developments goals Decent Work and Economic Growth and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – Innovation index and Global competitiveness index. The data were collected from 27 European countries for the period 2011–2020. Findings – Statistical analysis revealed relationship between sustainable development indices and culture development of European countries. Decent Work and Economic Growth demonstrated more significant relationship to cultural development than the Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Development. Research limitations – The findings are limited by the fact that some variables were missing. Practical implications – The outcomes of the research allow to define the structure of relationship between sustainable development goals and cultural development indicators. Originality/Value – The research results have indicated that the achievement of sustainable development goals Decent Work and Economic Growth and Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Development are affected by the level of cultural development.

Understanding the reproductive performance of a dairy cattle herd by using both analytical and systemic approaches: a case study based on a system experiment

The relevance of the study is due to the need to include the novel "Ulysses" by J. Joyce in university and, if possible, school curricula in foreign literature, as well as the need for its interpretation, despite the excessive complexity of the text and difficulty of perception. It is also important to return the legacy of D. Vikonska, a writer, critic, art critic and literary critic, to modern Ukrainian culture. Research methodology: a model of analysis of the modernist novel "Ulysses", created on the basis of the research work of D. Vikonska “James Joyce. The secret of his artistic face” (1934). Scientific novelty: for the first time the analysis of the novel "Ulysses" is carried out with the broad involvement of the half-forgotten studio of D. Vikonska, which has not lost its relevance, clearly articulates the modernist nature of the work, including surreal style. The purpose of the study: to draw attention to the outstanding figure of D. Vikonska as the founder of Ukrainian Joyce studies, to include her in the modern literary process, to show with her help the significant role of Joyce's novel "Ulysses". Conclusions. The answer to the question why Joyce's novel Ulysses is considered a landmark work of modernism should be concise but convincing, based on macro- and microanalysis of the text. First of all, it is a unique example of the author's self-expression, extreme subjectivism (the whimsy of Joyce's nature), transformed into universalism. No one is as subjective as Joyce is, no one is as universal as he is. Such can only be a conscious modernist who has passed the difficult path of search outside, in the world of culture, and inside, looking into the irrational depths of his own psyche. This is the most rational, intellectual and at the same time irrational, or visionary, according to K.G. Jung, type of creativity. Second: this is the boldest (revolutionary, in the words of Vikonska) challenge to tradition (or Cultural Canon, according to K.G. Jung), which manifested itself in the ironic parody of almost all known literary forms and narrative means, many moral and ethical norms. Third: it is a brilliant example of the author's style, a variant of surrealism, which grows out of naturalism and turns into neomythologism. Joyce's style is characterized by the following features: associative metaphorical writing, author's dictionary, which includes numerous innovations, narrative reception of the flow of consciousness; use of dreams, delusions, other boundary conditions; a bizarre intertwining of past and present, when dead and living characters are equal in meaning; consistent reflection of the external in the internal and vice versa; a labyrinth of human wanderings in search of pleasures, meaning, cognition and self-knowledge. Joyce modeled the next stage in the development of culture – the transition from modernism to postmodernism, from an ironic re-reading of tradition to playing with it.

The hermeneutic methodology is an analytical and dialectical approach that is irreplaceable for the development of critical thinking. In the post-truth era, the traditional interpretation of text has given way to more complex interpretative instances in which audiovisual content is the basis of new narratives and new knowledge. Qualitative methodological research has always claimed socio-historical and temporal prominence in the analysis of social phenomena. Accepting this premise, hermeneutics is presented as a plausible methodological research strategy for analyzing the representation of a social fact. Specifically, the aim of this research is to show the potential of hermeneutic analysis by examining two opposing versions of the terrorist attack that took place at the headquarters of the satirical weekly magazine, Charlie Hebdo, in 2015. To conduct this analysis the researcher has used the hermeneutic methodology of suspicion (Gadamer, 1960/2004). A main conclusion is that the Internet has become a catalyst for multiple truths in the post-truth era. The Internet is an exhaust pipeline where critical thinking is expounded. The Internet, in short, is a space of resistance where people are able to question the mainstream media’s versions and interpretations of events as imposed by the elite Davos Class.

The development of mass communication media and an increase in the volume of information have actualized the issue of the peculiarities of children's socialization in an information society. An animated product is a spectacular and accessible way to convey important social information to children. The article attempts to identify and describe existing research practices on the content and impact of cartoon products on the socialization of children in Russia over the past decades. In particular, the objects of research (cartoon products and children) are analyzed, as well as the methods used in these studies. The object and methods of studying the influence of cartoon products on the socialization of children have been identified as the subject of our research. The research methodology is based on the application of content analysis methods, traditional document analysis, and elements of structural and semantic analysis. The empirical material was articles by domestic researchers published in the period from 2000 to 2024 and containing the results of studying the impact of media content on children. The objects of studying the influence of media content on the socialization of the younger generation are cartoon products and children. Methods of content analysis, narrative analysis, phenomenological and hermeneutic approaches are used to analyze media content. Children's preferences and media practices are clarified through surveys and projective techniques. The choice of children as an object of research requires taking into account their age characteristics in the application of research methods and strategies. In this context, sociographic methods, projective methods, the case study method, as well as forms of surveys based on associations, the use of which should take into account the characteristics of each age period, are promising.

This article is devoted to the studying hermeneutic circle in the development of methodological culture of future music teacher. Under the conditions of globalization processes, tendencies of convergence of world cultures improvement of culturological training of student youth requires new approaches, in particular, culturological training of students of pedagogical specialties. The task of pedagogical education is to develop a teacher as a specialist and as a person of high culture, who has a special positive effect on the personality of school student. This article analyses the works of scientists dedicated to the issues of establishment and development of the hermeneutic approach in philosophical, psychological, and logical and gnosiological contexts. It is defined the essence of the concept of “hermeneutic circle” as one of the basic principles of the hermeneutic approach. There have been provided the examples of interpretation of the principle of hermeneutic circle by various scientists. Hermeneutic approach is applied in sciences such as pedagogy, psychology, economics, sociology etc. In pedagogical science the hermeneutic approach at the level of conceptual use was elaborated by A. Zakirova. She introduced the term “pedagogical hermeneutics”. Hermeneutic circle as a principle of text understanding is based on the interrelation of the part and the whole. Understanding of the whole consists of the understanding of the individual parts, and understanding of the parts requires understanding of the whole. The concepts of the part and the whole are correlated: the text is a part concerning the whole creative activity of the author, which in its turn is a part of the particular genre or literature in general, as well as the part of spiritual life and biography of the author. The idea of hermeneutic circle means also that there is no understanding of the text without certain prerequisites: understanding is preceded by some idea of what is yet to understand. There have been determined the peculiarities of the use of the principle of hermeneutic circle in the development of methodological culture of the future teacher of musical art. In light of hermeneutical trends, the penetration of which in the realm of musical art can be traced quite clearly, the use of the hermeneutic circle principle in the development of methodological culture of the future teacher of musical art appears not only in the narrow interpretation of the particular phenomenon or group of phenomena, but much wider — as a means of learning and understanding of the worldview by a person.

The purpose of the work is to identify new trends in the development of contemporary children's musical theatre in Ukraine through the prism of the analysis of the musical “Pinocchia” by B. Sevastianov. Research methodology. The methodological framework chosen for the article comprises genre-style, comparative, historical, interdisciplinary, and analytical approaches. These methods allow for the analysis of various factors that help reveal the features of the development of children's musicals in Ukraine. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the work is defined by the first comprehensive analysis of the children's musical “Pinocchia” by B. Sevastianov through the lens of trend movements in Ukrainian musical and theatrical art for children. Conclusions. Understanding musical theatre for children as an essential component of the artistic and sociocultural process in Ukraine is extremely relevant in modern conditions. The experience of creating a quality Broadway-style children's musical “Pinocchia” by B. Sevastianov not only contributes to the development of Ukrainian culture but also actively influences the upbringing of a new generation of audiences. Musical plays an important role in shaping aesthetic tastes and cultural values in children, creating opportunities for them to immerse themselves in the world of theatre, music, and dance. Composer B. Sevastianov skilfully combines a classic plot with musical innovations in his work. This combination makes the production interesting and appealing not only to children but also to adults, as it allows all viewers to feel the emotional depth and richness of impressions. The integration of electronic instruments and popular music styles has become one of the defining trends in children's musical theatre. The children's musical “Pinocchia” is a representative work not only for the development of Ukrainian children's theatre but also for the establishment of Ukrainian children's musicals as a whole. This indicates the readiness of Ukrainian artists to implement innovative approaches into classical forms of theatrical art, which is necessary for its further development and popularisation. The musical “Pinocchio” opens new horizons for further research in this field, emphasising the importance of integrating traditions and innovations in contemporary theatrical art. It not only fulfils an aesthetic function but also becomes an important tool for the education and upbringing of children, shaping their active position in the perception of art and culture.

Purpose. The aim of the article is improvement and complementation of theoretical aspects of the study of tourist poverty. Methodology of research. The following methods are used during the study: comparison - to determine the dynamics of outbound and domestic tourist flows of our state; systematic approach - when considering tourism poverty as a system that consists of a certain number of interrelated elements of both material and cultural-humanitarian nature and comprehensively influences the effectiveness of tourism development of the country; scientific abstraction - with the isolation in the phenomenon under study of a strong, stable, typical connection, which allowed to form in a generalized way the characteristic features and to determine the problems of cultural and humanitarian development. Findings. Tourist poverty of the population has been investigated for the purpose of revealing the connection with the educational sphere and with the sphere of cultural and humanitarian development of citizens. It is established that tourist poverty is not only related to material aspects, and requires close interaction with the educational environment. It has been proven that the result of tourist poverty is the tourist marginalization of the population. The characteristic features of tourist poverty from the point of view of material and worldview characteristics are highlighted. The problems of cultural development have been identified and the causes of cultural deconsolidation of society and the formation of tourist poverty have been identified. The ways of strengthening of unity in the society and overcoming the humanitarian-cultural tourist poverty are proposed. Originality. The author defines the concept of "tourist marginalization" - a process of reducing tourist activity due to economic and humanitarian factors, characterized by an increase in the number of citizens who do not participate in tourist activities, are socially passive, does not position itself with certain social groups, without clear identification groups or tourist interests that are included in tourist consumption due to media background agents. Practical value. The results of the study can be used to develop an effective national strategy for the cultural, humanitarian and tourism development of the state, which will ultimately prove to be a significant social effect. Key words: tourist poverty; social inequality; cultural and humanitarian development; cultural competence; cultural deconsolidation.

Мета статті – з’ясування ролі медіа у реалізації культурних ініціатив як ефективних інструментів цифрової дипломатії. Методологія дослідження ґрунтується на застосуванні загальнонаукових принципів пізнання соціокультурних процесів, а також міждисциплінарного підходу у сфері культурології і менеджменту.Наукова новизна полягає в доведенні ролі культурних проєктів як ефективних інструментів цифрової дипломатії.Результати та висновки. Наголошено на вкрай високій значущості в сучасних соціокультурних процесах медіа, що впливає на сприйняття громадськістю соціокультурної реальності і задає моделі культурної поведінки. Це робить медіа важливим інструментом цифрової дипломатії, в реалізації якої особливу роль відіграють культурні проєкти, ініційовані недержавними структурами з використанням потенціалу мережі Інтернет. Наведено дані звіту Digital 2020, згідно з яким кількість осіб, які користуються інтернетом, невпинно зростає і глобальна комунікація може стати всеосяжною за умови збереження наведеної у звіті динаміки. Це вимагає врахування в реалізації культурних проєктів можливостей глобальної мережі, зокрема медіа як ефективних інструментів цифрової дипломатії. На прикладі мегапроєкту «Пісня об’єднує нас» звернено увагу на потребу популяризації багатого надбання українського народу, зокрема із залученням інтернет-ЗМІ, які є активним актором формування соціокультурного простору, слугуючи не лише засобом передання інформації, а й механізмом становлення особливої реальності – медіа­-простору. Зроблено висновок, що реалізація заходів публічної дипломатії з використанням інтернет-ЗМІ, як одного із головних засобів організації інформаційного співтовариства, сприяє залученню ширшого кола структур до лобіювання українських інтересів у новому глобальному світі, дає змогу на більш системній основі забезпечувати комунікацію з населенням країни тощо. Сьогодні цифрова дипломатія перетворюється на потужний інструмент реалізації значної кількості цілей публічної дипломатії. Вперше в історії традиційної дипломатії цифрові технології стали відігравати основну, а не допоміжну роль. Виразним прикладом впливу на розвиток культурного різноманіття, сприяння інтеграції суб’єктів культурної діяльності є телемарафон «Пісня об’єднує нас» – зразок підтримки необхідної культурної активності, привернення уваги до актуальних проблем соціокультурного розвитку, створення сприятливих умов для саморозвитку культурного життя за допомогою активізації креативного середовища.
