Interpretation of Spanish Dance in Antonio Gades’s Stage Choreography

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the interpretation of Spanish dance in the choreographic productions by A. Gades. The research methodology. A set of methods typical for art analysis is applied. To study the peculiarities of the interpretation of Spanish dance in the choreographic productions by A. Gades, the problem-logical and general scientific method of modeling is applied, as well as the iconological method, that enabled a formal analysis and determination of symbolic meanings by revealing the national and cultural roots of the dance. Scientific novelty. The production activity of the leading Spanish choreographer Antonio Gades is studied; the peculiarities of the interpretation of Spanish dance in the process of working on stage productions are considered. For the first time in domestic art history, the choreographic performances by A. Hades «Blood Wedding, or Bodas de Sangre» («Blood Wedding, or Bodas de Sangre», 1974), «Flamenco Suite» («Flamenco Suite», 1989), «Fuenteovejuna» («Fuenteovejuna», 1994) are analysed. Conclusions. The study of the productions by A. Hades revealed a peculiar choreographic handwriting, the originality of the choreographer's decision and the individuality of plastic interpretations of Spanish dances. In the process of creating choreographic productions full of conceptual unity and depth, the master positions Spanish dance as a universal style with huge expressive possibilities, which allows him to non-verbally represent classic works of European literature in different parts of the world, in particular «Bloody Wedding» by F. García Lorca, «Fuenteovejuna» by Lope de Vega, «Carmen» and others. According to A. Hades, any work of art can be understood only in the unity of its content, means of artistic expression and cultural reminiscences (memory, echo, echo, which lead to comparison with something), which provide a kind of "connection of times" in the mind the viewer. The choreographer demonstrates this approach in the process of translating famous Spanish literary and dramatic works into the language of dance, turning to national dances, in particular the Pasodoble ballroom dance, Spanish folk dances Bolero, Cachucha, Muneira, Segidilla, Sarabanda, Sardana, Fandango, as well as dances in the southern Spanish Flamenco style.
 Key words: Spanish dance, dance interpretation, flamenco, Antonio Gades, stage choreography, choreographic productions.

Государственный интерес как система инакомыслия: военно-дипломатическая модель Мишеля Фуко

The modern Russian state is parasitic. But its dominant minorities still talk about a certain “special role” of Russia in European and world history, although many unforeseen and negative consequences of the ideology of the “special way” have already been established. For more than a hundred years, there have been five versions of the domestic history in Russia – statist, liberal and Western, nationalist, civilizational, postcolonial. Each of them cannot be refuted based on the study of historical sources. So, the truth of all is about the same, and each has the right to exist. However, an updated version of the textbook “state school” has been introduced into the practice of school education, in which the history of Russia is viewed as an uncontested process of transformation of the Moscow Principality into the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Thereby, the government consciously narrows the intellectual and political horizons of the younger generations and the entire population. In addition, under the influence of color revolutions the government began to cultivate a negative assessment of revolutions, although its representatives themselves admit that “the export of color revolutions is our Kremlin propaganda invention.” Over the past thirty years, Russia has been promoting a counter-revolutionary ideology, which manifests itself in foreign policy and domestic political rhetoric, and (according to officials) corresponds to the state interests of the country. In fact, the country and the world are offered an archaic version of political domination. Therefore, it is necessary to master and develop new concepts in which a different version of state interests is proposed. The article presents a reconstruction of one of the fragments of M. Foucault's political theory.

The Main Directions of Industrial Development in Khakassia in the Mid-1920s – Early 1940s.

The search for ways of effective economic development of modern Russia calls for a deep understanding of the economic aspect of Russian history. A special place and importance in this regard is occupied by the history of Russia of the XX century, with the exception of the 1990s, since it was during this era that the modernization of the country's industry took place. The study of the industrial development of the country in general and Khakassia in particular in the mid-1920s – early 1940s contributes to the disclosure of controversial issues in domestic and regional history, namely industrialization, cooperation. This will allow us to summarize the historical experience of those years (positive and negative), which can help in overcoming difficulties in the Russian economy through appropriate conclusions that can be made by authorities at various levels. It will also make it possible to predict the further development of the region, and then the country according to the most optimal option. Based on archival documents and literature, the author analyzes the main directions of industrial development in Khakassia in the mid-1920s – early 1940s. In particular, attention is paid to the dynamics of development and structural changes in the industry of the region, which during this period were contradictory. To a greater extent, there were positive trends: the emergence of new types of production, the combination of high quantitative indicators of development with the progressive development of qualitative ones. The technical equipment of industrial enterprises in the region has significantly increased. Negative aspects in the industrial development of the region were manifested in the disproportion in the sectoral structure of the industry (the predominance of extractive industries), lagging growth rates of qualitative indicators compared with quantitative, technical backwardness of a number of industries.

A pilot analysis on Effectiveness of health education on Attitude regarding management of hypertension among hypertensive patient

Hypertension is when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is written as two numbers. The first (systolic) number represents the pressure in blood vessels when the heart contracts or beats. The second (diastolic) number represents the pressure in the vessels when the heart rests between beats.(WHO 2019). Global statistics indicate that only 50% of individuals with hypertension are aware that they actually have high BP and only 14% are controlled (about 8% in low- and middle income countries). The epidemiological evolution for hypertension is witnessed in emergingnations, will give clue to an progress in the incidence of blood pressure. Hypertension as a effect of amplified life suspense and the tension of suburbanization, which is developingspeedily in virtually all unindustrializednations. Domestic history, anxiety, fatness, liquor, a food high in saturated fats or sodium, tobacco use, deskbound lifestyle, and elderly are all threat causes for hypertension. Pre Experimental Research design was adopted in this study.Conclusion: This pilot study concludes by proving the effectiveness of health education on attitude of hypertension among rural adult hypertensive patients .

ONTOLOGICAL ASPECTS MODERNIZATION OF ECONOMIC SYSTEMS

The insufficient level development of the theoretical and methodological foundations of modernization transformations of economic systems in the conditions of European integration and globalization is substantiated. Modernizing transformations of socio-economic systems determined the relevance of the scientific discourse regarding the role and ratio of influence of the key driving forces of economic dynamics (state, market, society). 
 It has been established that the implementation of transformational changes in the national economy in the direction of the formation of a more perfect structure and institutional support for the effective functioning of the economy is a process of its modernization. 
 It was established that the goal of modernization transformations is the formation of a postindustrial economy, which should solve the fundamental problem of the industrial economy (limited resources), where innovative business and the service sector, non-material production, and nonmaterial needs dominate. 
 It has been proven that in domestic economic history the driving forces of modernization transformations were in different initial conditions: from the dominance of state influence at weak market mechanism and weak democratic institutions to a key role of civil society with increasing market influences and ineffective institutional influence. 
 It is emphasized on the importance of changing the institutional role of the state in the modernization process. In the modern realities functioning of the economic system of Ukraine, the change of the institutional role of the key institute is related to the need to ensure structural restructuring and intensity of production, accelerating the mobility of resources and the importance of taking into account global trends, heritage of the information revolution. 
 It is established that modernization transformations of the national economy require measures to improve the efficiency of basic institutions, support market mechanisms, mobilize innovative resources and scientific potential to intensify the innovation process. 
 Theoretical and methodological provisions deepen the practical foundations of institutional support for modernization of the national economy.

Domestic and Regional History in the Mirror of the Cultural Memory of Kaliningrad Residents: Generational Differences

The article considers the problem of specificity of cultural memory shared by different generations of the Kaliningrad region's residents. The article is based on the results of the sociological survey of the residents carried out in 2022. Identification of specific features of perception of subjects of national (country-wide) and regional history allows to draw a conclusion about the typicality (or atypicality) of historical representations of young people and other age groups. The authors analyze the respondents' answers to the questions concerning significant historical events, the collapse of the USSR, attitude to current problems of the region's past, etc. The researchers come to a conclusion about the closeness of Kaliningrad residents' historical perceptions to those typical of Russian society as a whole, as well as about the specificity of the cultural memory of young people.

От Эрика Сати к Брайану Ино: пути развития массовой музыкальной культуры

Mass musical culture is a complex phenomenon undergoing constant changes under the influence of civilizational changes. The history of mass musical culture today is more than a century old, it is covered in a number of authoritative scientific works, however, a number of its aspects still provoke discussions and need deeper theoretical understanding. The purpose of the article is to analyze the “furnishing” music of E. Satie and “Music for Airports” by B. Eno as vivid manifestations of background music, which is one of the directions in the development of mass musical culture in the 20th century. In most modern domestic studies, the work of E. Satie is analyzed from the point of view of belonging to academic music, but here the main emphasis is on those features that later provoked the development of the phenomenon of mass musical culture. The heritage of B. Eno is also not a new topic for domestic art history, however, many of its aspects represent a wide field for research. If in Europe and the USA ambient regularly becomes the subject of scientific works, dissertations, articles, then in Russia it has not yet received due attention and remains outside the scope of most studies devoted to the problems of mass musical culture. Parallel E. Sati – B. Eno» allows us to characterize one of the many ways in the development of mass musical art and, through the analysis of specific compositions, to reveal its specifics.

Race, Property, and Erasure in the Rust Belt

AbstractThis article builds on settler and domestic colonial histories and theories to advance our understanding of urban changes in segregated, disinvested, U.S. Rust Belt cities. While many major cities have rebounded in population and experienced gentrification since the mid-twentieth century, many Rust Belt cities have continued to decline. The resulting conditions call for new theories to describe their changes, trajectories, and the impacts for majority poor Black populations. We construct a Binocular Colonial Lens: an analytic framework that superimposes shared conceptual descriptions and theoretical explanations of settler and domestic colonialisms. With this lens, we can elucidate the practices of erasure that are deployed throughout colonized communities and focus them on phenomena associated with urban decline and revitalization. While some urban scholarship has used metaphors and language of settler colonialism to describe gentrification, most of these works at best reflect the salience of settler ideology, and at worst reinforce Indigenous erasure. Foregrounding shared conditions of colonization and conquest in the United States, we train this Binocular Colonial Lens on Detroit, which reveals myriad urban processes like ghettoization, urban renewal, suburbanization, and gentrification as ongoing colonization, wherein domestically colonized populations are subject to numerous forms of erasure at the behest of the settler state and toward the advancement of settler society. This lens advances urban theory by expanding the depth of our analyses of urban changes, and scaffolds connections with other axes of racialized inequality by revealing shared tools of erasure operative in, for example, mass incarceration and environmental injustices.

Governance on lithium mining shareholdings: expanding Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) indicators to economic regulation and raw material politics

‘Environment, Social and Governance’ (ESG) considerations have received increasing attention as components that inform responsible investments in mining and global material supply. In ESG, governance variables have been mostly regarded as internal firm structures and broad national institutional strength, neglecting closer observations on economic regulation and national raw material politics. Improved governance data to support ESG evaluations should include historical and current relations between public governance bodies and private-sector firms. This paper examines the role of competition regulation agencies in weighing out and mediating relations between the State and multinational private-sector mining firms to unpack components that affect governance in mining. It does so by commenting on empirical data of the purchase held in 2018 of SQM shares—the world’s second largest lithium raw materials supplier—by Tianqi Lithium—one of the largest lithium materials producers in China. The paper discusses the place of equity markets in politics of nation-making and economic regulation in mining. It argues that beyond internal corporate structures, the governance criteria in the ESG profile of mining companies are largely affected by domestic economic regulation maturity, domestic political geography histories of private equity and imageries of corporate shares and natural resources. Furthermore, this paper argues that the effective governance of lithium supply in Chile is affected by political tensions between economic regulation and contractual regimes in mining.

Predicting Domestic Abuse (Fairly) and Police Risk Assessment.

Domestic abuse victim risk assessment is crucial for providing victims with the correct level of support. However, it has been shown that the approach currently taken by most UK police forces, the Domestic Abuse, Stalking, and Honour Based Violence (DASH) risk assessment, is not identifying the most vulnerable victims. Instead, we tested several machine learning algorithms and propose a predictive model, using logistic regression with elastic net as the best performing, that incorporates information readily available in police databases, and census-area-level statistics. We used data from a large UK police force including 350,000 domestic abuse incidents. Our models made significant improvement upon the predictive capacity of DASH, both for intimate partner violence (IPV; AUC = .748) and other forms of domestic abuse (non-IPV; AUC = .763). The most influential variables in the model were of the categories criminal history and domestic abuse history, particularly time since the last incident. We show that the DASH questions contributed almost nothing to the predictive performance. We also provide an overview of model fairness performance for ethnic and socioeconomic subgroups of the data sample. Although there were disparities between ethnic and demographic subgroups, everyone benefited from the increased accuracy of model-based predictions when compared with officer risk predictions.

Қазақстанның қалалық кеңістігі: қалыптасу және даму ерекшеліктері мен факторлары

The article deals with important issues and a period of the domestic urban history — the formation and development of urban space in Kazakhstan in Modern times. The city as a reflection of a new form of settlement defines a new spatial organization of the settlement of the population, a change in its quantitative and qualitative composition. People not only live in the city, but also engage in various types of activities, as well as create a new structure of society on a social, political, economic basis, form deep differences and contradictions between them, new types of relationships. These new relations are reflected in the system of intraurban settlement, creating a new form of the city and society as a whole, reflecting various social differences and contradictions between individuals and communities, as well as their unification within a single urban space. In urban conditions, housing, a mosque or a church, a school, a market, an enterprise represent an orderly space of human production. The research aims to study the urban landscape of Kazakhstan and identify its regional features, as well as determining those factors that influenced the change and transformation of the country’s urban space during the period under review

John Gilissen and the Teaching of Legal History in Brussels

John Gilissen (1912–1988) was a high-profile legal academic at the Université libre de Bruxelles (°1834) and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (°1969). Personal – albeit fragmentary – archival records deposited with these universities permit to reconstruct his teaching (both ex cathedra-courses for big groups and intensive tutorials), impressive global scientific network and insatiable scientific curiosity. Gilissen is the author of standard works on many aspects of domestic legal history (both public and private), and acquired renown as the secretary-general of the Société Jean Bodin pour l’histoire comparative des institutions. His influential position as a public prosecutor, law professor and legal historian generates a unique insider’s perspective on the confessional, linguistic and constitutional transformation of the country from World War One to the First Reform of the State. The current law curriculum at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel still bears marks of Gilissen’s comparative approach to the history of civil law and his interest in the contemporary relevance of institutional history.

Selection Signatures in Chinese Sorghum Reveals Its Unique Liquor-Making Properties.

Chinese sorghum (S. bicolor) has been a historically critical ingredient for brewing famous distilled liquors ever since Yuan Dynasty (749 ∼ 652 years BP). Incomplete understanding of the population genetics and domestication history limits its broad applications, especially that the lack of genetics knowledge underlying liquor-brewing properties makes it difficult to establish scientific standards for sorghum breeding. To unravel the domestic history of Chinese sorghum, we re-sequenced 244 Chinese sorghum lines selected from 16 provinces. We found that Chinese sorghums formed three distinct genetic sub-structures, referred as the Northern, the Southern, and the Chishui groups, following an obviously geographic pattern. These sorghum accessions were further characterized in liquor brewing traits and identified selection footprints associated with liquor brewing efficiency. An importantly selective sweep region identified includes several homologous genes involving in grain size, pericarp thickness, and architecture of inflorescence. Our result also demonstrated that pericarp strength rather than grain size determines the ability of the grains to resist repeated cooking during brewing process. New insight into the traits beneficial to the liquor-brewing process provides both a better understanding on Chinese sorghum domestication and a guidance on breeding sorghum as a multiple use crop in China.

Teatr nigdy nie był bliżej. Pedagogika teatru — współczesny model edukacji teatralnej

Theater has never been closer. Theater pedagogy — a contemporary model of theater education The movement of theater pedagogy has been present in polish practice for a couple years. Through efforts of institutions like The Theater Institute in Warsaw or Theater Pedagogues’ Association, it is possible to observe the development and gradual change of approach towards the form of contact with theater. The aim of this article is to present the theater pedagogy as an interdisciplinary area of research combining both artistic and educational practices, including its sources, domestic history and basic premises. Through references to ideas of aesthetic upbringing and pointing out differences between traditional theater education and theater pedagogy, one can define it and understand its phenomenon. Additionally, it is important to underline the potential in activities being conducted according to rules of theater pedagogy.
