From a Junior Coach to the Senior Ranks: Relational Transition From a Collaborative Autoethnographic Perspective

Coaches are key people influencing athletes’ careers and their development, especially when athletes approach the junior-to-senior transition. Junior-to-senior mobility also includes transitioning into a new psychosocial environment, including changes in cultural narratives and expectations for both an athlete and their coach. The purpose of this study was to contribute knowledge about a sports coach’s career development and transitions by theorizing a relational co-construction of transitions from the junior level to the senior level. The cultural transition model was used as a conceptual framework to explore the temporality of the first author’s (Jakob) relational transition. To coproduce Jakob’s story, a collaborative autoethnographic approach was utilized. A photo-elicitation method and cyclical interviewing were used to generate the data followed by a thematic narrative analysis. The results indicated that the dominant narratives of elite sport and relation to the athlete shaped Jakob’s subject position, from which he projected his future career as a coach during the transition. Central to relational transition is the understanding that the meaning (re)construction and negotiation of cultural practices occur through interactions with repositioning. The subjective repositioning of both the athlete and the coach can impact the dynamics and outcomes of the transition process.

Fim de emergências de saúde inacabadas e as redes de cuidados com a síndrome congênita do Zika vírus

Abstract Understanding health problems as always unfinished, this article examines consequences of the declaration of the end of a health emergency on the practice of different and interconnected care networks. As part of the “Action Ethnography on Care…” research project, this is a qualitative case study of three documents produced after the announcement of the end of the Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome epidemic. It shows the contexts of narrative production involving researchers, managers/ public service workers, mothers and families of the ill, and mothers’ associations and their different perspectives about what care is. Analyses of a presentation for researchers and of a working paper for the Applied Economics Research Institute (IPEA) question the technical narrative celebrating the end of the emergency based on knowledge and health service without taking into account the relational, affective and political care (of mothers, families and associations), leaving the latter invisible. It describes the process of elaboration of a motion by the Zika Pandemic Forum, listing and systematizing action proposals produced in an explicit dialogue among participants in different care networks to approach unfinished post-emergency questions. It suggests that similar practices of dialogue between networks can promote greater inclusion and sensitivity to care that contribute to reducing suffering and defending the rights of people who continue to live daily with a syndrome or disease whose consequences persist.

Overthrowing Reality: Photo-Poems in 1980s German Democratic Republic Samizdat

In the 1980s, the youngest generation of artists to have been raised in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) experimented collaboratively to produce work in intermedial genres, with particular focus on synthesizing poetry and such visual arts as photography and printmaking. Drawing on the rich collection of East German samizdat artists’ books in the Getty Research Institute (GRI), this article examines diverse approaches to design integrating photography and poetry that emerged from within this vibrant community, including artistic practices of dialogue across consecutive pages (Wolfgang Henne and Marion Wenzel), montaged works (the artist’s trio of the Günther-Jahn-Bach Editionen), and handwritten poems combined with found photographs, drawing, and overpainting (Inge Müller and Christine Schlegel). The intermedial focus and the limited print-run editions, which—because of a legal loophole—allowed for modest circulation of these largely uncensored materials, enabled artists to speak about controversial issues such as the environment, the legal system, transgenerational feminist solidarities, or accountability for Germany’s Nazi past.

Augmented Reality in A Sustainable Engineering Design Context: Understanding Students’ Collaboration and Negotiation Practices

This study reports on the use of augmented reality (AR) within the context of sustainable engineering design education. The objective of this study is to understand students’ collaboration and negotiation practices in a sustainable engineering design context using AR. The technology used in this study includes MERGE Cube (a physical cube that acts as a digital canvas for AR) and CoSpaces Edu (an online platform for students to build 3D creations and animate them with code). There have been 48 instances of student participation from upper elementary to middle school in four iterations of this study since February 2022. The research was conducted based on a design-based research methodology, and the data was collected through qualitative methods and analyzed using the intra-action analysis method. This study’s outcome revealed that interactions among participant dyads and with the technology shed light on distinct dynamics within collaborative sustainability-oriented learning and design processes. These diverse interactions collectively emphasize the multifaceted nature of collaborative design, where individual experiences, communication styles, and technological proficiency all play integral roles in shaping the collaborative process. In addition, the results of our research showed that the complexities inherent in negotiating ownership and collaboration dynamics are influenced by individual attitudes, timing of involvement, and previous experiences. Given the importance of collaboration in achieving sustainability-oriented goals, these findings are relevant to the field of sustainable engineering education, especially when working with younger children.

Bringing companions together: how we support, develop and spread Open Dialogue practice in Flanders, Belgium

The main goal of this workshop is to exchange together on the values of the Open Dialogue approach, from the different perspectives and experiences of professionals, people with lived experience and people with family experience.
 Structure of the session:
 15 min. introduction: The Open Dialogue approach was first established in Western Lapland (Finland) and is gaining wider development in international practice. This approach been remarkably helpful in different situations and contexts, always possible starting from within a personal mental health crisis - without hesitation or delay - and with further flexible, sustainable support for everyone who is involved in this together. In the Open Dialogue approach professionals seek connection and dialogue with and between everyone involved. Without delay, to listen openly to the different voices, experiences and perspectives. In searching for a new understanding to carry on together, there’s time and a future to be won. Following seven core principles, Open Dialogue translates "being with” and ""doing with" concepts to a dialogical practice.
 15 min. Presentation of different case studies or contexts: Involving many teams in different regions, Open Dialogue practice is also developing in Flanders, Belgium. In cooperation with mental health organisations, people with lived experience, people with family experience, social welfare partners and training of health professionals/peer workers, teams are also actively connecting Open Dialogue practice to strengthening and spreading other community-based, right-based and recovery-based practices.
 25 min. Interaction: Exchanging reflections with the audience
 5 min. Interactive closing together: Gathering take home messages and looking forward to further steps in Open Dialogue development

Teachers’ voices on multimodal input for second or foreign language learning

Multimodal input – which combines written, auditory, and/or visual modalities – is pervasive in everyday life and could serve as a source of rich input in language teaching. In recent years, research has determined that vocabulary learning is one of the clear benefits of being exposed to such input. Regrettably, only a handful of studies have investigated whether and how second language (L2) teachers approach multimodal input in teaching. To further contribute to the research–practice dialogue, we examined factors that influence L2 teachers’ use of multimodal input in L2 teaching. This qualitative case study presents an in-depth analysis of interview data derived from 21 practitioners in various L2 teaching contexts globally. Following three rounds of data analysis, 24 factors were identified and are presented in four themes. The results indicate that teachers: (1) paid close attention to their students’ needs and goals; (2) drew on their own learning and teaching experiences and training supported by research-based practices; (3) relied on sound pedagogical principles; and (4) faced a number of contextual challenges relevant to their curricula and teaching contexts.

Localising cosmopolitanism in place talk: Semiotic landscape as stance object

Abstract Sociolinguistic research has begun to critique the generalised view of cosmopolitanism as indexed by the use of global and non-local languages and urge us to explore its variety and complexity as situated and dialogical practices. This article answers this call by examining how cosmopolitanism is localised in place talk. Drawing from a larger ethnographic study of language, space, and cosmopolitanism in Shanghai, the analysis focuses on how participants evoke, compare, and evaluate the semiotic landscapes of this Chinese megalopolis. While competing notions of cosmopolitanism emerge during the research interviews, stances taken towards them also perform divergent relationships to the city. This article thus demonstrates how, instead of being a binary opposition, cosmopolitan landscape is discursively reappropriated for the construction of local identities. It contributes to our understanding of how cosmopolitanism is reterritorialised in urban space. (Cosmopolitanism, semiotic landscape, stance, place talk, place-identity, Shanghai)*

Borrowed Words and Judicial Gestalt: A Dialogical Reading of Hirst, the ECtHR and Prisoner Voting Rights

Abstract This article suggests that judgments of the European Court of Human Rights exhibit a textual quality that Mikhail Bakhtin called dialogism, namely, a kind of discourse constituted by a plurality of mutually effecting and interpenetrated voices. Such compositional choice is not just a lengthy prolegomenon to any decision, nor an unnecessary appendix that could be safely eliminated; it is actually fundamental for the construction—and comprehension—of any ECtHR opinion. In this article, I will focus on the 2005 case of Hirst, in which the Grand Chamber declared that the UK legislative blanket ban on prisoner voting is incompatible with the European Convention of Human Rights. As a controversial case about as-yet live-wire issues, Hirst can be shown to be a profoundly dialogized text despite all appearances to the contrary, which paves the way for a more general argument about the dialogical practice of adjudication by the Court.

PECULIARITIES AND TASKS OF CIVIC EDUCATION IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF ARMED AND INFORMATIONAL AGGRESSION

The article examines the role and significance of civic education in the context of socio-cultural development of society and strengthening the international status of the state. The main attention is paid to the historical aspect of civic education, its impact on the formation of a citizen in accordance with the standards of the democratic European state system. The article highlights different interpretations of civic education at different stages of history, from ancient times to modern times. A separate section is dedicated to the analysis of civic education in the modern socio-humanitarian discourse, in particular its place in the fields of philosophy, pedagogy and political science. The final part emphasizes the challenges that civic education poses to various sectors of society in the modern world.The article also emphasizes the importance of civic education as a tool for transferring values and cultural heritage from one generation to another, the role of education in strengthening the authority of the state at the international level and its influence on the formation of a conscious citizen in the conditions of changing geopolitical realities. Through the prism of the analysis of different historical contexts, it is investigated how civic education reflects the ideals, standards and values of different eras, its role in social integration and strengthening of national identity.Looking at education through the prism of philosophy, we can see it not only as a process of imparting knowledge, but also as a dialogic practice, where each participant is not just a consumer of information, but also an active participant in the process of learning. Also, in the context of modern globalization, it is important to pay attention to the intercultural dimension of education. How can we ensure that the educational process promotes mutual understanding between different cultures, instead of separating and dividing them? The answer to these questions requires not only philosophical reflection, but also pedagogical innovation. The philosophy of education should serve as a bridge between theory and practice, prompting rethinking and improvement of the educational process at all its levels.The final part of the article emphasizes the urgency of reforming the system of civic education in modern conditions, taking into account globalization processes and the growing need to train educated, critically thinking citizens who are able to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of the modern world. This need is especially felt in the context of armed and informational challenges that Ukraine has faced in recent years.Keywords: civic education, values, cultural heritage, philosophy of education, historical context.

How Much Dialogic Coordination Practices Matter to Healthcare Professionals-A Delphi Approach towards a Tool for Identification and Measurement.

The study of coordination practices in health policy is a central aspect. The need for further research has been recently highlighted because of COVID-19. In this sense, dialogic practices (DP) have been identified but not validated yet. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a DP questionnaire for healthcare teams. Items were identified based on a literature review, and the content validation was carried out by means of a Delphi study. A total of 10 experts assessed the clarity and appropriateness of the items and their corresponding measurement scales. After two rounds, a high level of consensus was reached, with agreement of 90% or higher on all items, and a high degree of stability and concordance in the results. This study resulted in a questionnaire consisting of four items, one for each identified DP initially proposed to the experts, as no other practices were revealed. From a practical perspective, the validation of these items constitutes a methodological innovation that responds to the call in the literature to open new avenues for comparative studies, and the possibility of generalising the findings and bringing together different approaches to the problem of coordination, which is key in health policy where unforeseen situations emerge.

Strategic Procurement Practices and Performance of Investment Firms Listed in Nairobi Securities Exchange, Kenya

The overall goal of the proposed study was to lay out the impact of key obtainment rehearses on acquisition execution of venture companies recorded in the NSE, Kenya. The specific objectives were to investigate how investment firms listed on the NSE’s procurement performance is affected by strategic supplier relationship practice; to determine how strategic contract management practices affect investment firms listed on the NSE procurement performance; To determine the impact of strategic sourcing on the procurement performance of NSE-listed investment firms in Kenya and; to ascertain how the practice of strategic negotiation affects investment procurement performance firms listed in the NSE, Kenya. This research problem was studied through the use of a cross-sectional research design. The units of observation constituted the 104 top and middle management staff working in the offices of investment firms listed in the NSE. This study used Yamane’s method to understand the sample size. Following this sample determination formula, the calculation generated a sample of 83 respondents from which the study sought information from. This study utilized both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data was gathered using research questionnaire as the research instrument. To complement the primary data, secondary data collection sheet was employed in collecting the secondary data from audited reports of the Company, NSE and other reliable sources. The researcher dropped the questionnaires physically through face-to-face method requesting them to fill them promptly and pick them up once filled up. The structured questions were used in an effort to conserve time and money as well as to facilitate in easier analysis as they are in immediate usable form; while the unstructured questions were used so as to encourage the respondent to give an in-depth and felt response without feeling held back in revealing of any information. Before processing the responses, the completed questionnaires were edited for completeness and consistency. The raw primary data collected was coded prior to being input into SPSS statistical analysis software. Once coded, the data was then cleaned to ensure accuracy and completeness of the information obtained. The data collected was both quantitative and qualitative and it was analyzed descriptively and inferentially. In addition, correlation analysis was conducted to the indicated the nature (positive or negative) and significance of the relationships between the variables in the study. Regression analysis was used to test the direction and magnitude of the relationship between the study variables. The study found that strategic supplier relationship affects procurement performance of investment firms listed in the NSE to a great extent. Utilization of strategic contract management practice was found to affect the procurement performance of the investment firms to a great extent. The study found that strategic sourcing practice affects the procurement performance of investment firms to a great extent. Strategic negotiation practice affects procurement performance to a moderate extent.It is imperative that Investment firms listed in the NSE reviews their existing procurement systems in order to identify the weak points and fasten them. Investment firms listed in the NSE should adopt customer orientation and then implement customer integration in order to receive a high level of procurement performance. Investment firms listed in the NSE should try as much as possible to tailor make their processes to best suit their unique needs.

Out-of-scope intent detection with intent-invariant data augmentation

In practical dialogue systems, it is crucial to avoid undesired responses and poor user experiences by detecting Out-Of-Scope (OOS) intents from user utterances. Currently, to detect OOS intents, limited-supervised methods are more potential due to using limited true OOS data to better model the OOS data distribution. However, existing limited-supervised methods often yield low-quality OOS augmentations, i.e., noisy OOS and long-distant OOS, due to the use of the retrieval-based data augmentation mechanism, which will damage the OOS intent detection performance. To tackle this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel OOS intent detection method by leveraging intent-invariant data augmentation, called InInOOS, which can generate high-quality pseudo-OOS utterances with invariant OOS intents but various slot values and different expressions to further enhance the OOS intent detection performance. Specifically, we first generate pseudo-OOS candidates using our pre-trained intent-invariant utterance generation model, and then the most beneficial candidates are selected to train an OOS intent detection model. Extensive experiments on two public datasets show that our method performs better than state-of-the-art baselines.

The process of nurses' role negotiation in general practice: A grounded theory study.

To explain the process by which nurses' roles are negotiated in general practice. Primary care nurses do important work within a social model of health to meet the needs of the populations they serve. Latterly, in the face of increased demand and workforce shortages, they are also taking on more medical responsibilities through task-shifting. Despite the increased complexity of their professional role, little is known about the processes by which it is negotiated. Constructivist grounded theory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 participants from 17 New Zealand general practices between December 2020 and January 2022. Due to COVID-19, 11 interviews were via Zoom™. Concurrent data generation and analysis, using the constant comparative method and common grounded theory methods, identified the participants' main concern and led to the construction of a substantive explanatory theory around a core category. The substantive explanatory theory of creating place proposes that the negotiation of nurse roles within New Zealand general practice is a three-stage process involving occupying space, positioning to do differently and leveraging opportunity. Nurses and others act and interact in these stages, in accordance with their conceptualizations of need-responsive nursing practice, towards the outcome defining place. Defining place conceptualizes an accommodation between the values beliefs and expectations of individuals and pre-existing organizational norms, in which individual and group-normative concepts of need-responsive nursing practice are themselves developed. The theory of creating place provides new insights into the process of nurses' role negotiation in general practice. Findings support strategies to enable nurses, employers and health system managers to better negotiate professional roles to meet the needs of the populations they serve, while making optimum use of nursing skills and competencies. Findings can inform nurses to better negotiate the complexities of the primary care environment, balancing systemic exigencies with the health needs of populations. What Problem Did the Study Address? In the face of health inequity, general practice nurses in New Zealand, as elsewhere, are key to meeting complex primary health needs. There is an evidence gap regarding the processes by which nurses' roles are negotiated within provider organizations. A deeper understanding of such processes may enable better use of nursing skills to address unmet health need. What Were the Main Findings? Nurses' roles in New Zealand general practice are determined through goal-driven negotiation in accordance with individual concepts of need-responsive nursing practice. Individuals progress from occupying workspaces defined by the care-philosophies of others to defining workplaces that incorporate their own professional beliefs, values and expectations. Negotiation is conditional upon access to role models, scheduled dialogue with mentors and decision-makers, and support for safe practice. Strong clinical and organizational governance and individuals' own positive personal self-efficacy are enablers of effective negotiation. Where and on Whom Will the Research Have Impact? The theory of Creating Space can inform organizational and individual efforts to advance the roles of general practice nurses to meet the health needs of their communities. General practice organizations can provide safe, supported environments for effective negotiation; primary care leaders can promote strong governance and develop individuals' sense of self-efficacy by involving them in key decisions. Nurses themselves can use the theory as a framework to support critical reflection on how to engage in active negotiation of their professional roles. The authors adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines using the COREQ reporting method. Researchers and participants currently working in general practice were involved in the development of this study. By the process of theoretical sampling and constant comparison, participants' comments helped to shape the study design. WHAT DOES THIS PAPER CONTRIBUTE TO THE WIDER GLOBAL CLINICAL COMMUNITY?: An understanding of the processes by which health professionals negotiate their roles is important to support them to meet the challenges of increased complexity across all health sectors globally.

From the Cloud to the Landfill: The Case of the Agbogbloshie Makerspace Platform and Akwasi Bediako Afrane’s TRONS

This contribution sheds light on discarded electronics repair in Accra, Ghana. After placing these practices in dialogue with the Western and Eurocentric narratives around the materiality of digital interactions and infrastructure, it delves into two arts and design contexts that gravitate around the electronic waste landfill and processing site of Agbogbloshie (Ghana). The first case study is the Agbogbloshie Makerspace (AMP), a critical making (and unmaking) platform empowering local repairers and dismantlers through open-source collaborative design methods. The contribution then focuses on the work of Akwasi Bediako Afrane, a Ghanaian media artist who re-appropriates discarded computers to critique and speculate on our sociotechnical condition. Situating these initiatives in the light of our broader dominant internet and computing narratives, the article situates the importance of these practices in order to tackle and raise awareness about the planetary electronic waste condition we live in.

Training in Open Dialogue and Dialogical Practice: creatively responding as trainers and writers.

This paper emerges from a series of conversations about training in Open Dialogue and dialogical practice. In our dialogue, we found ourselves moving away from seeking definitive answers about content (what to include) or process (how to include). We asked, "Why are we asking this question about training at all?" Maybe it is because many helpers and all kinds of professionals all over the world are truly asking, "How do we do, or how do we learn how to do 'open dialogue'?." That question starts with "How to train others in the practice?" We moved toward responding to our own questions-what are we offering as trainers and what are the trainees seeking? We sought to explore what is required for a training space that accommodates the hopes of both trainers and trainees. Words arose during our talking, and we listened to them, let them sink in, and reflected on them. Some words resonated with us as trainers; some linked with observing trainees' experiences (including our own); some showed a glimpse of the relationship between trainer and trainees. These emergent words point to a series of learnings, aspects of the training that we as trainers have come to believe are important. The following paper expands upon these words while also including actual portions of our dialogues and vignettes from training. As such, we illustrate our ongoing learning as trainers of Open Dialogue and dialogical practice as it occurs within the unique nature of each training we provide.

The Rug Methodology in Qualitative Studies

This article introduces the Rug Methodology to enhance participation in the qualitative research process. The idea of using rugs to facilitate narratives and expression, and to build reciprocity and activate reflexivity and meaning-making, grew out of a peer-to-peer debate between the authors of this paper on a qualitative research approach for weaving rugs, inventive methods for community action, and drawing as a reflective practice. The article describes the procedure of drawing rugs to encourage people participation. Rugs are everyday objects but they can become a qualitative tool that can be used with in-depth interviews, amplifying the opportunity of collecting participants’ lived experiences, emotions, reflections, and desires. The paper aims to define a framework which connects “to-do activities” with dialogical practices in research and to describe strengths and limitations of drawings rugs in a qualitative research design. Drawings, life events, and stories from the field are described and discussed, showing how everyday objects such as rugs can support expression, participation, reflexivity, and how drawing rugs is suitable for various and vulnerable targets and settings in qualitative studies. Finally, the paper describes the challenges of analysing data from drawings to illustrate lived experiences related to people who stay in rural areas and how they learnt to generate their quality of life.

Negotiation Practices of Athletic Training Educators

Context Low salary is often cited as one of the primary motivations for professional attrition in athletic training. The employer usually determines the salary range; however, negotiation can also influence the final salary and benefits of a given position. It is unclear to what extent, if any, athletic training educators negotiate salary or other terms of employment during the hiring process. Objective To explore the negotiation practices of athletic training educators during the hiring process. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Web-based survey. Patients or Other Participants A total of 174 athletic training educators who have held at least one full-time employed position. Main Outcome Measures Demographic factors as well as the current salary range served as independent variables, and participants’ responses to questions about salary and terms of employment negotiation questions were the dependent variables. All variables were characterized using summary statistics, and multiple chi-square analyses (P < .05) were conducted to determine significant relationships between independent variables on negotiation practices. Results Most athletic training educators attempted to negotiate their salary (64.4%) and terms of employment (54%) during the hiring process. The most commonly negotiated terms of employment were moving expenses (58.5%), research-related start-up costs (45.7%), and continuing education funding/reimbursement (42.6%). The influence of demographic factors on the decision to negotiate salary or terms of employment and the relative success of that negotiation varied, with significant findings for previous employment, gender, race, relationship status, number of dependents, age, salary range, and highest degree earned. Conclusions Lack of negotiation disproportionately occurred in those athletic training educators with less work experience, and women inexplicably had less success in negotiation attempts. Widespread training in negotiation strategies is warranted across the athletic training profession, including its educators, and our findings suggest that such training would specifically benefit early-career and women athletic training educators.

The Identification, Diagnosis, Prospective, and Action (IDPA) Method for Facilitating Dialogue between Stakeholders: Application to the Radiological Protection Domain

This article reviews the experience of applying the Identification, Diagnosis, Prospective, and Action (IDPA) facilitating method as a means of promoting practices of dialogue between stakeholders in the radiological protection field. After presenting the characteristics of the IDPA method and its ability to promote active listening, participation, and dialogue among stakeholders facing complex situations, as well as the procedural aspects associated with its practical implementation, the article describes three examples of the application of the method in the field of radiological protection. The first one presents how the IDPA method supported a debate among decision-makers, authorities, experts, professionals, and representatives of non-governmental organizations about how to engage stakeholders in radiological protection. The second example presents how the IDPA method was used in a series of dialogue meetings to explore the challenges of the post-nuclear accident situation resulting from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. The third one presents the application of the method in the context of a training course organized by Nagasaki University in the affected area close to the damaged plant. Experience has shown that the IDPA method makes it possible to develop responses to problems posed in very different contexts and, in many cases, to find compromises regarding their solutions. The IDPA method has the merit of allowing each of the participants to better understand the situation they are faced with, even if such a positive result is not always achieved.

Педагогічні принципий умови формування культурної компетентності у майбутніх вчителів музичного мистецтва: контекст історії музики

The article is devoted to the problem of forming cultural competence of future musicians-pedagogues in the process of professional training, in particular, during the studying music history. The purpose of the article is to outline the pedagogical principles that will contribute to forming cultural competence of future Music teachers, as well as the necessary and sufficient pedagogical conditions, methods of implementation are the basis for the appropriate methodology. Cultural competence is defined as an acquired professional quality and personal integral phenomenon, which reflects preparation in performance, musicology and music pedagogy, a valuable attitude towards art and a profession, and readiness to apply what has been acquired into practice in dialogue with others. The potential of cultural competence in music and historical training the future music teacher has been clarified. The holistic awareness of art, the connection of art with other areas of knowledge, and with life as a source of artistic images are emphasized. Dominant pedagogical principles for forming cultural competence are singled out (culture of conformity based on the cultural approach, artistic integration, the practical and active orientation of the educational process, actualization of a person’s creative resources, dialogues, the connection of the process of learning art with the history of mankind and the history of one’s country and national culture). Pedagogical conditions for forming cultural competence in future music teachers are described. The unifying role of the conditions for forming an attitude towards partnership and communication in the cultural and educational environment (artistic during interpretive activity and interpersonal) is substantiated. A conclusion is made about the subjectivity of future music teachers, so pedagogical conditions acquire mean in gout side it. Moreover, it is concluded that the further development of methods should aim at the implementation of each pedagogical condition in view of the essence and structure of cultural competence. Studying artistic communication in the digital environment will be our future prospect.

NEGATIVE TREND IN THE POSITIONING OF WOMEN IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS NEGOTIATIONS

Over the past decade, many studies have been conducted on the ethical aspects of gender equality in international business negotiations. Research shows that, despite women’s success in solving global negotiation challenges, their participation is still limited. And while this influence may not be direct, it should be noted that women are generally considered less good negotiators than their male counterparts. In this sense, through analyzing theoretical discourse, this article examines the contemporary practice of business negotiation. The goal is to point out the (un)ethical continuity of the gender division of labor, whereby gender should not prejudge the individual, but rather his negotiation abilities. As the existing scientific literature requires further multidisciplinary research, we believe this article will contribute to a better understanding of the importance of ethical harmony of gender equality as the best strategy and practice for negotiating parties in international business negotiations.
