Literature Comparative Analysis Research Articles

CHORAL GENRE AND STYLE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MODERN ART STUDIES

Object. The purpose of this article is to systematize art schools in relation to the definitions of choral genre and choral style. Methods. Traditional research methods: comparative analysis of scientific and musicological literature, analytical, historical, retrospective have been used. Results. Choral performance, as a part of the professional musical art, has evolved with the general principles of the development of the professional art in general. For many centuries certain norms have been developed in the choral performance practice. They corresponded to aesthetic ideas about the vocal sound quality. Approaches to the performance manner have been improved, the basic principles of professional training of choral singers have been approved. Of course, each national choral school has its own features in the performance style which reflects the temperament of the people, their character, traditions and other qualities. These subtle nuances that characterize the performance style are primarily associated with the peculiarities of the language of different peoples, its phonetics. For example, stable vocal traditions have been developed in the musical cultures of Italy, France, Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Russia and other countries. However, in the XXth century, the trend towards eclecticism, the synthesis of cultural traditions, their interaction were so strong that the features which previously sharply distinguished one national school from another largely smoothed out. Therefore, the basic principles of vocal skills, which are to develop proper singing breathing, sound production, sound production and other vocal techniques, remain common to any choir. Conclusions. The great artistic possibilities of a unique musical “instrument” – a choir have been in the center of composers’ attention for several centuries. In addition, the great variety of forms of the professional choral performance has made it one of the most common types of musical art.

FORMATION OF NATIONAL SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS OF FUTURE MUSIC ART TEACHERS IN «CHORAL CLASS»

Object. The article addresses issues of educating future music teachers, the formation of their national worldview, in which professional knowledge and professional responsibility are formed, are of great importance. The leading role in this direction belongs to the discipline “Choral Class” and the widespread use of choral works written in poetry by Taras Shevchenko. Methods. Traditional historical and pedagogical research methods were used in the work: analytical, historical, and comparative, retrospective, comparative analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, educational materials. Results. It was revealed that the literary works of Taras Shevchenko were interpreted in their choral works by such famous Ukrainian composers as M. Verbitsky, L. Dychko, M. Karminsky, A. Kos-Anatolsky, O. Kosits, M. Lysenko, S. Lyudkevich, L. Revutsky, K. Stetsenko, A. Shtogarenko and others. This is since choral music is precisely the spiritual center that for centuries has kept the “genetic code” of Ukrainian culture. The work of the great poet T. Shevchenko has not lost its relevance today. He is dear to us with a word that does not die and exalts the beauty of the Ukrainian nation, awakens the best human feelings, encourages friendship and creative cooperation around the world, teaches us to love Ukraine. Given this, a significant role in the national education of future music teachers is played by the development of choral works by Ukrainian composers based on poems by Taras Shevchenko in the classes of the “Choir Class”. Studying the works of A. Kos-Anatolsky, Y. Stepova, A. Shtogarenko and others, written in poems by T. Shevchenko, in the classes of the «Choir Clas»”, students can not only understand the social significance of the feelings of both the poet and composers, but also experience that or other artistic image. This contributes to the development of the personal emotional sphere of students, their spirituality, reflection. Conclusions. Mastering the above compositions teaches future music teachers how pure and honest, humane and truthful, hardworking and sociable, full of self-worth and respect for all who work, a real person should be. Taras Shevchenko’s сreativity, increased by the skill of Ukrainian composers, brings to young people the educational potential aimed at educating the national consciousness, educating patriotism of national dignity, spiritual enrichment of the individual.

MUSICAL TALENT IN THE WORKS OF FOREIGN RESEARCHERS

Object. The article analyzes the theoretical approaches of foreign researchers to the definition of musical talent. Empirical material devoted to the study of the determinants of the manifestation of musical talent in foreign music psychology and pedagogy is substantiated and concretized. Research methods (analytical, historical and comparative, retrospective, comparative analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature, educational materials) allowed to distinguish different approaches to understanding the significance of the development of musical abilities (M. Shawen, R. Mueller-Freinfels, M. Hassler, U. Mursell, B. Probst and others). Results. It is determined that at the beginning of the twentieth century in Western musical psychological and pedagogical works outlined two approaches to the essence of musicality: musicality as a holistic property of the individual; musicality as a category of personality ability. It is established that in the foreign scientific literature there are several approaches to the problem of identifying musical abilities. The first approach is that musical talent consists of a number of components that are assessed by tests separately. The second approach is to test the ability to perceive classical musical forms. It is established that the perfection of a musician is largely determined by the presence of innate inclinations to musical activity. It is proved that the development of musical talent has a direct relationship between the level of development of musical abilities and external socio-pedagogical factors. At the same time, natural data and specially organized classes complement each other, and professional music training helps a person to reach his full potential. Conclusions. In foreign music psychology and pedagogy, a large amount of empirical material has been accumulated, devoted to the study of the determinants of the manifestation of musical talent. However, the question of the structure of musical talent and its components remains open. At the theoretical level, the issues of the relationship between the concepts of «musical abilities», «musical talent», «musicality» remain unsolved.

The South African Pentecostal ostrich of corruption

Corruption and corrupt practices in the public and private sector have become endemic to South African society, requiring the cooperation and participation of all citizens to uproot its evils. Classical Pentecostals are historically notoriously absent in confronting societal issues, and they represent as much as a third of the South African population. As a primitivist-restorationist movement, early Pentecostals followed the early Christian church in differentiating themselves from its social, cultural and political Umwelt, acting like the proverbial ostrich that hides its head in the sand to ignore any threat of danger. Why should and how can Pentecostals be involved in confronting corruption? It is argued that Pentecostals should reconsider their widespread lack of involvement in societal issues for historical, hermeneutical and evangelical reasons. By way of a comparative literature analysis, these reasons are discussed, and then, the principles of prophetic politics are developed in broad lines to make some suggestions for their application in South African society.

Edward Taylor – Outstanding Economist and Educator

Purpose: The aim of this article is to reflect on the phenomenon of creativity, activity, output, extensive knowledge and interests of the Polish Scot, Edward Taylor – an outstanding economist and educator in the 20th century. I wish to draw attention to where his contribution was seen as the greatest and to the challenges that he indicated, particularly in the field of the theory and practice of economics. The aim is also to establish what thoughts of his have stood the test of time, which thoughts and convictions of his are still important and valid today, which may be an inspiration for contemporary Polish scientists, educators, students, and a wide range of readers who are interested in problematic economics, management, and political science issues. A brief description of the scientific output of professor E. Taylor is presented, as well as his opinions on the subject of the Polish economy and academic teaching, along with his non-professional interests, passions of life and interest in all facets of life. He could have been included in the liberal school of thought; in terms of a wide range of issues, his views were confluent with those of the most outstanding representatives of the Austrian School of Economics, albeit he didn’t belong to it. Design/methodology/approach: The following research techniques were used in the article: comparative analysis of literature (not only economic), deduction, induction, synthesis. Originality/value: Relatively original content: liberal thought in interwar Poland struggled to break through totalitarian ideologies, which had some supporters here, and also through nationalism and clericalism. After nearly a hundred years, at the turn of the second and third decades of the 21st century, things were generally similar. The reason for this is mainly the economic infantilism of a large part of society, susceptible to populist demagogy and the giving away of money by the current power. Teaching economics is objectively difficult for a variety of reasons. And then and now it does not generally produce good results. It means negative social and political consequences. Taylor’s diagnosis and counteractions were correct. They are worth getting to know better and continuing. Findings: The article shows the versatility of Taylor, who was not only an outstanding economist, educator, organizer of science, publisher and editor of a long scientific series, but also a man deeply involved in many different fields. He was a co-founder of the Polish Economic Society. He was a reformer of the Polish treasury. He fought against inflation and supported the development of the maritime economy. He was strongly involved in the development of cooperatives and territorial self-government. In each of these areas, he brought new ideas, values and solutions. His phenomenal interdisciplinarity and activity is shown.

Метапредметные компетенции в профилактике делинквентного поведения подростков

An attempt to establish the relationship between the formation of meta-subject competencies in delinquent adolescents in the framework of educational and extracurricular activities in an educational institution and the transition of forms of its behavioral manifestations from social disapproval to behavior regulated by legal norms was made. The authors outline that in order to structure knowledge about metasubject competencies, they are classified into meta-activities, meta-ways and meta-abilities that directly affect the rehabilitation of delinquent adolescents by means of educational and extracurricular activities organized in an educational institution. Methods of research: comparative and theoretical analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, monographs and thesis works, documentation; generalization, comparison, systematization. Research result. The authors come to the conclusion that delinquent adolescent, due to the features of their socially disapproved forms of life, have well-defined formed competencies, but apply them in asocial behavioral manifestations. The article pays attention to the importance of improving the effectiveness of activity of educational institutions on the formation of delinquent adolescents’ metasubject competencies as a means of overcoming adolescent deviation. However, attention is drawn to the possible risks in this area of activity due to the delinquent adolescents’ frequent absence from school, so the authors also paid attention to the need to form academic motivation in delinquent adolescents to achieve the goals of forming metasubject competencies and overcoming delinquency.

Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of an individual educational route for a younger student with disabilities

In this article existing approaches to the development and implementation of an individual educational route for a younger student in an inclusive school environment were analyzed. This work was carried out as part of the dissertation research. The author presents the results of a comparative analysis of regulatory and pedagogical literature, revealing the content of such concepts as individual educational trajectory, educational environment, educational space, individual educational route, and individual curriculum. The contradictions between modern scientific ideas about the essence of an individual path in education for normatively developing children and its reduction in inclusive practice to a consolidated plan of correctional and developmental work are revealed. If in the first case, the role of the student is characterized by subjectivity, the goals of individualization of education are associated with the identification and implementation of the cognitive interests and inclinations of the child, and the role of the teacher is to provide pedagogical support and facilitation, to promote educational ideas, trials, then in the situation of developing an individual educational route for a student with disabilities of health in the center of attention is his nosology. The "route" here represents the stages of the correctional and developmental work of specialists, which is a necessary condition for the child's life, his development, but not the only tool for the individualization of education, understood as the process and result of building a person's image through the development of culture in ways that are adequate for him, at a pace and choice of content... The article proposes the author's interpretation of the concept of an individual educational route for a child with disabilities, identifies the structural components, highlights the participants contributing to its formation. As the basic resources of the variable educational environment, based on this environment an individual educational route is designed, it is proposed to consider the spheres of additional and informal education. The author presents a semi-structured interview as a pedagogical tool that allows you to design an individual educational route and evaluate its effectiveness within the framework of an anthropological approach to education. The proposed semi-structured interview as a pedagogical toolkit is intended for use in group work with the inclusion of a family raising a child with disabilities, a teacher of additional education, and other members of the inclusive community. The results and conclusions of the article, the described stages of the semi-structured interview can be used in the work of psychological and pedagogical councils of general education schools that implement educational programs for children with special educational needs.

Links between corruption and quality of life in European Union

Studies looking at the links between corruption and quality of life have begun to take place recently, as until now the quality of life has not traditionally been associated with political decisions. Corruption may be defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain, which in one way or another affects the quality of life and satisfaction of others. The aim is to bridge the gap between the nexus of corruption and the quality of life in the EU. EU countries were divided into groups of countries according to the year of accession and cover the years 2004-2017 period. The EU has been selected as a geographical region with the aim of uneven economic development of the countries and the lack of research in the region. The aim of the article is to determine the interdependencies between corruption and quality of life indicators in EU countries. Multivariate regression models revealed that the prevalence of corruption among individual groups of six countries had the highest impact on mortality rates, unambiguously showing how well countries are managing their health care systems, population density, birth rate and population aging, GDP per capita, economic situation, life expectancy, serving as an indicator of quality of life and the number of people with primary education. The results of empirical research allow to form insights that in order to reduce corruption it is necessary to focus on the following spheres reflecting the quality of life: education, health care system and general economic situation of the country. The article used the following methods: comparative and systematic literature analysis, multiple regression analysis.

Apskaitos klaidų ir apgaulės nustatymas: atvejo analizė

Klaidas nuo apgaulių galima atskirti tik atmetimo būdu, kai naudojama apgaulių aptikimo metodika, tikrinant rastą netikslumą. Straipsnyje aptariamos trys metodikos: apgaulės trikampis, santykinių rodiklių analizė ir teismo ekspertizė. Apgaulės trikampis ir santykinių rodiklių analizė padeda identifikuoti apgaules lengviau nei teismo ekspertizė, tačiau šiems metodams reikalingi papildomi įrodymai, kad būtų galima patvirtinti apgaulę. Naudojant teismo ekspertizę naudojamas dokumentų patikrinimas, todėl šiam metodui nereikalingi papildomi įrodymai, teismo ekspertas pagal savo kompetenciją daro sprendimą dėl klaidos ir apgaulės. Straipsnio tikslas - atlikti atvejo analizę, kuria siekiama išnagrinėjus dokumentų klastojimo atvejį, nustatyti klaidų ir apgaulių tyrimo eigą ir taikomus neleistinus veiksmus. Atvejo analizėje, naudojant dokumentų tikrinimą, palyginimą, darbuotojų apklausas buvo nustatyta apgaulė įmonės apskaitoje. Tyrimui atlikti taikyti tokie tyrimo metodai: lyginamoji mokslinės literatūros analizė ir sintezė, interpretavimas, dedukcija, sisteminimas, apibendrinimas, atvejo analizė.

ІННОВАЦІЙНА КУЛЬТУРА МАЙБУТНЬОГО КЕРІВНИКА ЗАКЛАДУ ЗАГАЛЬНОЇ СЕРЕДНЬОЇ ОСВІТИ: ЧИННИКИ РОЗВИТКУ

The article offers the classification and analysis of the factors for the formation of innovative culture of the future manager of the general secondary educational institution. A set of relevant factors is presented at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the innovative culture formation on the basis of systematic and comparative analysis of scientific literature. The first level includes the action of global, state-political, economic and scientific-technological, axiological and socio-cultural factors. It is emphasized that their importance is pointed out by the ability to determine the overall trajectory of world innovative development in general, and the state in particular, to outline the perspective directions of evolution of the innovative society. It is revealed that the innovatively ordered and innovatively directed system of the professional education and management training, quality management of educational innovations, availability of the system of quality assurance of education and postgraduate pedagogical education and self-education of management personnel are the factors, that belong to the meso-level. It is proved that the micro-level accumulates a systematic interaction of numerous factors at the local level (educational institution, manager’s personality, self-development), that are equally effective. Innovative culture at the educational institution level is formed due to its national and foreign policy, organizational and management activity, resource support, psychological climate, as well as personal qualities of the subjects of innovative activity. The opinion that among the key factors for the formation of innovative culture of the future manager, the pivotal one is the training system, that has an innovation-oriented vector of development. The main factor in the development of innovation culture is the professional training of innovators. Therefore, the development of the innovative culture of the future head of the educational establishment depends directly on the scientific-theoretical substantiation and practical implementation of the model of training of the innovator-manager. In our opinion, such training should focus on the development of innovative culture in several stages: motivational-cognitive, professional-practical, creative-activity and professionally relevant. The main task of this training is to develop a new type of modern leader with a high level of innovative culture and a significant proportion of the intellectual component in the human capital of the individual. It is stated that the main factor in the development of innovative culture is the professional training of the future manager of the general secondary educational institution, which depends directly on the scientific-theoretical substantiation and practical implementation of the innovator-manager’s model of training. We believe that this training should focus on the development of the innovative culture of the future manager of the general secondary educational institution in several stages: motivational-cognitive, vocational-practical, creative-activity and vocationally relevant. Key words: innovative culture, innovations, general secondary educational institution, future manager of the general secondary educational institution, factors of development, macro-, meso- and micro-levels of innovative culture development.

Recommendations' Impact on Customer Behavior and Visiting Catering Organizations

In scientific literature the recommendation definition is often contradictory, which only shows how wide and diverse this field is. The impact of recommendations is becoming increasingly relevant, analyzing different customer target groups, segmented by demographic, geographic, psychographic, and consumer behavior criteria. The aim of the study is to analyze recommendations’ significance and impact on customers visiting points of sales. In order to achieve the aim a number of tasks are formulated: first, to form a conceptual model of recommendations’ impact on customers behavior and visiting points of sales; second, to carry out a quantitative study in order to identify statistically significant impact of recommendations on visiting catering organizations in integral sample of respondents as well as in different demographic groups. The study presents scientific literature review on social networks, online blogging, recommendation systems’ and informal word-of-mouth recommendations’ impact on customer behavior and visiting points of sales. Main research methods: comparative analysis of scientific literature, quantitative research – a survey. Summarizing empirical findings of the study it must be concluded that family members, friends and co-workers’ recommendations impact visiting catering organizations in the integral sample of respondents. Although advertising on radio, television and outdoor advertising influences the choice of the catering organization, such advertising does not necessarily encourage the frequency of visiting catering organization. However, recommendations on the range of dishes, interior of a catering organization as well as convenient billing and discounts for loyal customers have a positive impact on respondents’ visiting catering organizations.

Grounds for initiating proceedings in the case of insolvency of an individual

The article specifies the grounds for initiating proceedings in the case of insolvency of an individual on the basis of a comprehensive comparative analysis of foreign experience, scientific literature, national legislation and practice of its application. Based on the analysis of the legislation and case law, it is noted that the Bankruptcy Code does not clearly define the term "threat of insolvency". Article 115 of the Code states that the threat of insolvency includes circumstances that confirm that in the near future the debtor will not be able to meet its monetary obligations or make normal current payments. It is argued that the lack of definition of "threat of insolvency" in the Code is a shortcoming of current legislation, and therefore this rule needs to be clarified in terms of confirming the inability of the debtor to meet financial obligations, the terms of default. It is proposed to define "threat of insolvency" as a set of documented legal grounds that indicate the inability of the debtor to meet its own financial obligations or make regular financial payments over the next two months. The expediency of determining in Article 115 of the Bankruptcy Procedure Code an exclusive list of grounds for initiating insolvency proceedings against an individual is argued. Consolidation in Art. 115 of the Code of the inexhaustible list complicates law enforcement as provides a possibility of application of norms of other regulatory legal acts; provides wide discretion to the court, which creates conditions for the abuse of procedural rights for both participants in the bankruptcy proceedings and judges. The peculiarities of initiating proceedings to restore the solvency of an individual are specified: only the debtor himself may apply to the court to declare an individual insolvent. In order to reduce the financial burden on an insolvent individual in the implementation of bankruptcy proceedings, it is proposed to give the creditor the right to initiate legal proceedings for the insolvency of such a person.

THE DETERMINANTS OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN OLDER ADULTS OF CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES

The growing number of older prisoners has become a global challenge (Brie W., Cyrus A., Robert G., 2012). Over the past decade, there has been a concurrent disproportionate growth in the number of older prisoners. These figures were observed in the USA, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom and other countries statistics (William B.,2012). The arrest and sentencing of older adults are on the rise, and researchers consider prisoners to be older, or geriatric, by the age of 50 or 55 years (Aday R. 2003, Williams B. 2010, Besdine R. 2005). Older prisoners are likely to suffer from geriatric syndromes, falls, sensory impairment, incontinence, mental illness, depression, and other disease than other population in prison and society (Landefeld CS. 2004, Greinfinger R. 2007). The main target of the research is to investigate QOL (quality of life) determinants of older offenders in Azerbaijan prisons. This research is the first step in Azerbaijan Penitentiary service to evaluate geriatric symptoms and QOL elements. The objectives of the research: 1) descriptive and comparative analysis of different international literature, articles, policy papers, 2) explanatory investigation survey results analyzed during the study. For this purpose WHOQOL-Bref survey instrument was used to assess determinants of quality of life. This survey contents four domains: Physical, Psychological, Social Relationships and environment, and the data was examined with SPSS program. Considering the results of survey and comparing different literatures the some recommendation were made, that can be used in different programs and future researches
