DEVELOPING THE VISUAL THINKING OF CHINESE STUDENTS IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING PIANO

Piano-performing art in China is currently undergoing a period of intensive development. At the same time, it is difficult to ignore the fact that Chinese pianists lag behind European pianists in adequately conveying the artistic content of the works they perform. It can be assumed that this is primarily due to differences in the mental peculiarities of visual thinking of representatives of different cultures, and far from being due to a lack of professional competence in the field of interpreting artistic images. Therefore, the aim of this article is an attempt to identify what are the cultural and historical features and how they can influence the development of artistic and visual thinking of students of music universities. Based on the analysis of a number of scientific works in the field of psychology of thinking, perception and creative imagination, the article proposes methods for the development of students’ visual thinking. The methods proposed in the article can be used not only when Chinese performers master the works of European composers, but also the pieces of Chinese authors by representatives of the European musical tradition.

The Dragon Image of Ly-Tran Dynasty: Application in Historical Comic Characters

The theme of decorative patterns of lotus, chrysanthemum, dragon, cloud, and water waves is a commonly used image in Ly-Tran's decorative designs that are still used today. Others are an endless source of inspiration for application design and themes that have become fashion trends with ethnic elements. Contributing to promoting and preserving the value of Vietnamese fine art in the modern period, this article surveys and analyses the formation and transformation of water waves through the ages and their applications in contemporary packaging design. The research shows that the water wave pattern is a long-standing symbol and decorative pattern in ancient Vietnamese visual arts; it not only has artistic value but also contains religious and spiritual value and the profound Eastern philosophical concept, reflecting the constant rotation of life on each winding rhythm. This pattern under the Ly-Tran dynasties has both practical significance and represents the peak shaping value of the dynasty. Integrating the rhythm of contemporary life into application design, using water wave patterns in packaging design, aims to promote and spread more widely to the public in modern life. This article aims to study the social context and creative forms of recreating and using water wave motifs in general application design and packaging in the field of art and design today. At the same time, analysis of new design methods continues to develop, convey, and even expand the symbolic meaning of the motifs through the aesthetic orientation of contemporary people and by inheriting and promoting traditional good culture.

Evaluation of Historic Truss Bridges

The prioritization of the maintenance and rehabilitation of bridges based on their historic importance is challenging. While the AASHTO Guidelines for Historic Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement contain guidance on selecting bridges for preservation, there is currently no guidance on how to prioritize historic bridges selected for rehabilitation. A ranking system for rehabilitation prioritization of historic truss bridges is developed based on two levels of prioritization. The first level, Historical Importance, is the primary and most important level of prioritization. A historical importance factor (HIF) is presented to account for the bridge’s uniqueness, year of construction, and other factors. Bridges are sorted based on their HIF to identify the ones for rehabilitation prioritization. When several bridges have the same HIF, a second level of prioritization (P2F) is developed to account for the bridge condition and rehabilitation potential. In cooperation with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC), the authors developed a truss bridge database listing the historic, geometric, and other key features of the bridges. 94 candidate bridges were selected as being historically significant for preservation. 8 of the bridges were identified as being of significant historical importance, receiving an HIF greater than 100. 30 bridges had an HIF between 10 and 100, and the remaining 56 bridges had an HIF less than 10. For the bridges under consideration, P2F was not deemed necessary at this stage, since the prioritization based on the HIF provided sufficient clarity for investigating the rehabilitation potential of the bridges. The results generated from the HIF ranking provide the tools for KYTC to maintain Kentucky’s truss bridges based on their historical importance.

MODELS OF UNIVERSITY AUTONOMY IN EU COUNTRIES: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

The article is devoted to justifying the classification of models of university autonomy based on their comparative analysis. It is emphasized that education functions as a systemic element in the social structure, which is embedded in connections and coordination with other social actors, in particular with state power and the market. It is noted that university autonomy is the authority of a higher education institution to determine its own goals and programs, as well as the means to achieve them; autonomy, independence and responsibility in making decisions regarding one's own development. It is emphasized that the degree of university autonomy is correlated with the country's political and administrative system, economic development and cultural traditions, historical and ideological context, axiological orientation of society, traditional role of higher education institutions. On the basis of a comparative analysis of common features and specifics of models of university autonomy, the author's classification is substantiated depending on three fundamental factors: relations between state authorities and universities; internal organizational and management structure of universities; as well as generalization of cases of certain national systems of higher education or groups of countries united by historical and regional features. It is emphasized that the most relevant is the classification of models of university autonomy, which takes into account not only the relationship between state control and university autonomy and the peculiarities of intra-university management, but also the administrative and financial system of the state, financial support of higher education, etc.

АБАЙ ҚҰНАНБАЙҰЛЫ ШЫҒАРМАШЫЛЫҒЫНДАҒЫ «БІЛІМ» ЖӘНЕ «СЕНІМ» КОНЦЕПТІЛЕРІ ЖӘНЕ ОЛАРДЫҢ ОРЫС, АҒЫЛШЫН ТІЛДЕРІНЕ АУДАРЫЛУЫ

Translation sciences, which study the mechanisms and features of literary translation of texts of various orientations and styles, play a key role in modern society, especially in the context of globalisation, causing the overcoming of linguistic and cultural barriers. The purpose of the study is to analyse the literary works of Abai Kunanbaev to identify and interpret the concepts of “knowledge” and “faith”, considering their features in comparative translation into Russian and English. To achieve research goals, the following methods were used: hypothetical and deductive, content analysis, and comparative. The results of the study determined that the concepts of “knowledge” and “faith” permeate the work of the Kazakh thinker A. Kunanbaev, reflecting the versatility of Kazakh culture, historical transformations, and spiritual values. Translation of the author’s concepts into Russian and English contributes to the expansion of this activity, taking into account various social, historical, linguistic, and cultural features that need to be considered in the process of interpretation. Due to comparative analysis, it was found that the Russian language, when translating Abai’s concepts, can use a large palette of structural sentences to most accurately reflect the semantic categories of the writer. In turn, with the English interpretation, the structure and style of the text can most often be adapted in order to preserve and convey to the reader the main idea of the poet, which is closest to the original. However, it is important to understand that when translating from Kazakh into Russian and English, it is necessary to consider the philosophical subtext of A. Kunanbaev and cultural differences between countries and peoples. The practical significance lies in the possibility of the use of findings by researchers who deal with the issues of literary translation and specialists in the field of translation and cultural studies.

Not only states, republics, districts and cities, but individuals and surnames (families) have the right to the coat of arms. At the same time, the territorial coats of arms reflect historical or cultural features, stereotypical ideas. The article examines the specifics of the figures on the coats of arms of Udmurtia’s municipal districts. It is safe to say that when developing regional heraldic symbols, creative groups selected figures and images based on the original history and culture or on the economic specifics inherent in this territory. The possible process of locus branding aimed at the formation of an ethnocultural image based on the study of the coats of arms of the Udmurt Republic’s specific districts is also touched upon. Images and descriptions of local symbols served as the material for the research. The figures on the coats of arms of the districts are aimed at creating an original ethno-cultural representation of a certain area in order to attract the attention of potential visitors and ensure tourist flow by giving the territory the status of a unique recognizable place.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ОБРЯДОВОСТИ НА ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ РУССКОГО ФОЛЬКЛОРНОГО ИСКУССТВА

The art of many nations is based on the richness and diversity of various folk genres, carefully passed down from generation to generation over the centuries, creatively processed, modified and differentiated with each new interpretation by a particular performer. The art of music and dance, which characterises the image of each nation, goes back to ancient times. This article is devoted to the problem of studying Russian folk art in the context of its formation in the ritual forms of the Eastern Slavs. Dance, accompanied by various songs, ditties and laments, which reveal the meaning of the action, reflects the inner world of man, the emotional and aesthetic side of his being through the expressiveness of movements, the variety of gestures and the plasticity of the body, which were born under the influence of emotional impressions from the surrounding world, and also various labor processes, hunting and military skills. Throughout its centuries-long history, Russian folklore has been enriched with historical, linguistic, mythological and anthropological features of the Eastern Slavic heritage, and today it represents the richest basis of our country’s art. Thus, the problem of preserving cultural and historical traditions and national identity of the Russian people is one of the most important and pressing topics in the modern world.

The article examines the global experience of ensuring the development of branding of agrarian regions. The significance of the development of branding of agricultural regions in the modern world, when globalization and the growth of consumer consciousness are becoming key factors in the formation of economic and cultural growth, is outlined. Approaches to ensuring the development of branding of agrarian regions are summarized in view of world experience, where the specified process is determined by the cultural, historical and economic features of each region. Thanks to the intensive process of European integration, the need to form a unique image for Ukrainian regions and local communities is determined, which will reflect their peculiarities, advantages and existing potential. In this context, it is expedient to implement global practices and strategies in order to achieve sustainable development of Ukraine's regions and increase their attractiveness in the world. In the process of research, the advantages and disadvantages of global approaches to the development of branding of agrarian regions were considered. The American, Asian and European approaches to the branding of agricultural regions, which are determined by a number of factors aimed at increasing the recognition and competitiveness of local agro-food products, the introduction of ecologically sustainable methods of agricultural production, as well as the outline of cultural aspects and traditions regarding the consumption of healthy food, are substantiated. Attention is focused on the fact that the branding of agricultural regions of Asia often emphasizes health and wellbeing, promoting the use of natural and organic methods of agricultural production. At the same time, the European approach to the branding of regions is based on the diversity of cultures, traditions and product quality, where the preservation of biodiversity and rational use of natural resources is an important element.

The NeuroPoint alliance SRS & tumor QOD registries.

Along with the increasing interest in real-world evidence in neuro-oncology, the deficiencies of prior population-based and quality registries became evident. The neuro-oncological quality registries of the NeuroPoint Alliance (NPA) focus on neuro-oncological surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and aim to fill the gaps of neuro-oncological practice in quality surveillance and real-world research. Herein, we discuss the historical background, design process, and features of the NPA SRS and Tumor QOD registries. The registries'current status and future directions are outlined. The NPA SRS and Tumor QOD registries were designed based on the principles of prospective multi-institutional data collection, central auditing for data quality, and focus on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Currently, the registries include over 4,500 and 2,500 patients each, with caseloads comprising predominantly of brain metastases and primary extra-axial tumors, respectively. The registries serve both as a quality surveillance and improvement tool - providing participating sites with adjusted quality reports - and as platforms for real-world research of observational and, potentially, interventional nature. Future directions of the NPA neuro-oncological registries include the functional communications of the two registries and the incorporation of imaging analyses in the workflow of quality assessment and research efforts. The NPA SRS and Tumor QOD registries are quality registries of unique granularity in terms of surgical variables and postoperative outcomes. They constitute increasingly valuable data sources for real-time quality surveillance of participating sites and real-world research.

Climate-neutral historic buildings, Slowacki Theatre in Poland - case study

Global policy identifies achieving neutrality in sectors with the highest energy intensity rates as a priority for action. Countries are taking important and necessary measures to achieve this goal. The European Union has introduced a near-zero energy building standard in the construction sector. The next step is the Fit to 55 package, which is a milestone for Europe to achieve total neutrality in 2025. The climate-neutral policy has resulted in requirements and regulations already implemented in the sectors that consume the most energy and emit the most greenhouse gases. One such sector is construction, which accounts for around 40% of total energy consumption. Buildings newly designed in EU countries must now meet stringent thermal protection requirements. In Europe and Poland, governments are allocating substantial funds for the thermal modernisation of existing buildings. The exceptions to this are listed buildings and buildings under preservationist care. Such buildings are not subject to thermal protection regulations. In historic buildings, the priority is to protect the national heritage. However, the recent Energy Performance Directive introduced, for the first time, a recommendation that historic buildings should also be investigated for energy efficiency measures, under strict protection of the historic character of the building, of course. In this article, the authors present an analysis of a historic building of great historical significance. It is the Słowacki Theatre in Krakow. The research question the authors answer in their analysis is whether and how a historic building can be brought to a level of zero energy and climate neutrality. The second research question is whether, in addition to aspects related to energy saving and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, other aspects of designing the improvement of the historic building and its surroundings should also be considered in the analysis. The results of the authors' analysis indicate that a building level of near-zero energy demand can only be achieved for a listed building if the building undergoes thermal modernisation measures approved by the conservation officer and then the heat source is replaced with biomass or a heat pump powered by photovoltaic panels. To the aspects related to the preservation of the historical heritage, the improvement of energy efficiency and the reduction of CO2 emissions, the authors propose to include aspects related to the comfort of use of the building and aspects related to the accessibility of the building for people with special needs (the elderly and people with disabilities).

Chronologia, kalendarz i datowanie Roman de Flamenca – próba bilansu

This article aims to review and summarise previous research on the chronology of the medieval occitan narrative text Le Roman de Flamenca in two aspects: dating the text and dating the time of the action. The state of research makes it possible to identify the main ways of interpreting the chronology of the text: in terms of the time of its composition, as a work from the first or second half of the 13th century; while in terms of determining the time of the plot of Flamenca, it is dated by various authors to the first half of the 12th century, the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, or the first half of the 13th century. Among the main arguments used to support these hypotheses are the organisation of the text’s chronology around the liturgical calendar and the absence of the feast of Corpus Christi in that calendar, the description of the coat of arms of the Bourbons, attempts to identify the characters of the text as historical figures, and references to political events of the period. On the basis of an analysis of the data collected, the rejection of implausible and poorly argued concepts, and additional arguments related to the participation of the novel’s protagonist Guillaume in the war in Flanders, the author establishes the most probable dating range of Le Roman de Flamenca as 1287–1293, and the time of action as 1217–1224. In conclusion, an interpretative problem is presented that is closely related to the chronological issue of the text: the different perspectives on the novel as a current novel of manners or a novel of historical character. The analysis carried out here supports the conclusion that Le Roman de Flamenca is a text describing the golden age of the trobar from the perspective of its period of decline and decadence.

Faktografija i fikcija - ogledavanja u romanu Vreme smrti Dobrice Ćosića

The subject of this paper is the analysis of Dobrica Ćosić's novel A Time of Death I-IV (1972-1979), primarily from the perspective of possible worlds theory. One of the most important Serbian novels about the First World War, which critics have frequently defined as an epic novel, was inspiring for our research for at least two reasons: the first lies in the fact that historiographic metafiction is still the most prominent literary current in Serbian novelistic production, and the second is that contemporary readers have returned to Ćosić through intensive film adaptations in the recent years. The analysis and survey of the relationship between the factographic and fictional is precisely what led to the illumination and better understanding of the contemporary readers' attitude towards the so-called NEO-historical novel, which, according to Tihomir Brajović, began with Dobrica Ćosić. An interpretation of the characters in terms of possible worlds theory is at the center of attention, particularly the function of extratextual narrative identities of military leaders, statesmen, politicians, and warriors (Nikola Pašić, Aleksandar Karađorđević, Radomir Putnik, Stepa Stepanović, Živojin Mišić, Petar Bojović, Apis, and Stanislav Vinaver, among others). The specific aim of this paper is to understand the creative process whereby the characters were transformed and shaped as they made the transition from fact to fiction and, in this context, to analyze the documentary and artistic function of different types of texts that are incorporated into the narrative fabric of the novel. In particular, the author's auto-poetic comments are deemed particularly relevant to unlocking the process of metamorphosis of the historical into the fictional. Two more questions are addressed as separate research challenges: (1) the importance of the specific way in which the author constructs the so-called historical characters to form national identity in the novel; and (2) the more general issue of historical truth, with particular regard to the nature of historiographic narrative. The methodological starting point for the interpretation of the characters is provided by the tenets of postclassical (cognitive) narratology, with priority given to Hilary Dannenberg's typology of transworld identities.

СПРИЙНЯТТЯ СТРАВ З ЇСТІВНИХ КОМАХ СПОЖИВАЧАМИ ПОСЛУГ ЗАКЛАДІВ ІНДУСТРІЇ ГОСТИННОСТІ

It has been determined that in modern conditions, growing insects for food usually requires much fewer resources than meat production, while edible insects can also complement other diets and provide the necessary nutrients into the body. The historical features of the use of insects as part of the human diet are considered. Three types of insect breeding have been identified: wild cultivation, semi-domestication and closed cultivation. It has been estimated that more than 2000 species of edible insects are consumed today worldwide. A comparative analysis of the composition of meat of slaughter animals and insects was carried out, it was determined that the content of individual nutrients differs significantly both in meat and in insects, while some of the edible species of insects have a higher energy value, a higher content of protein, fat, polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, compared to the meat of slaughter animals, but at the same time the content of insects is lower saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, thiamine, niacin, cobalamin, iron. The encouragement of insect consumption in food is characterized. and the United Nations Agricultural Organization (FAO) because of its environmental and human health benefits. The main ways of eating insects and the problem of allergenicity on insects are highlighted. The most commonly used species of insects for food are characterized. The problems of the impact of environmental pollution on the nutritional quality of insects are highlighted. The factors that need to be given importance to provide scientifically based recommendations for the development of environmentally sustainable production of edible insects for consumption, including the production and delivery of feed, product processing, are characterized. Trends in the development of the market for insect food products have been determined. Ways to increase consumer perception of edible insects are proposed. The results of a survey of the attitude of Ukrainian youth to the consumption of edible insects based on a survey are presented. It is concluded that the consumption of alternative proteins from insects is one of the ways to solve the problems of environmental protection, and edible insects can potentially become one of the sources of food in countries that do not have such cultural traditions, but for this insect-based food products to be similar to existing products, pleasant to the taste and have no visible signs of replacing traditional ingredients.

Адаптация советского опыта уголовных мер в военное время для современной России

Modern reality dictates the need to improve criminal legislation, in particular, the system of criminal penalties, in wartime conditions. Taking into account the historical features of legal regulation in this area allows us to solve this problem most effectively. The Soviet period was characterized by a tightening of the punitive policy of the state during the period of hostilities. At the same time, the modern Criminal Code initially did not contain such provisions, and only the difficult geopolitical situation of recent years prompted the legislator to amend it in terms of taking into account the peculiarities of wartime. The article examines the possibility of adapting the historical experience of applying criminal measures in wartime to modern Russian realities. Based on the analysis of Soviet practice, the author substantiates the expediency of introducing some of its elements, for example, accelerated judicial proceedings in cases of military crimes, the possibility of involving convicted servicemen to serve their sentences in the active army. The author also substantiates the impossibility of including the most severe sanctions (for example, the death penalty, exile and expulsion) in the current criminal law regulation as contrary to modern human rights standards. It is concluded that the integrated use of adapted Soviet experience in combination with new scientific developments will strengthen the preventive and punitive potential of criminal law in wartime conditions, increase the effectiveness of criminal justice and ensure the protection of the country's defense capability while respecting the guarantees of individual rights.

HISTORICAL FEATURES OF THE FORMATION OF INTERNATIONAL LEGISLATION AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN THE MECHANISM OF REALIZATION OF THE STATE POLICY OF ENSURING EQUAL RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN AND MEN IN UKRAINE

The article analyzes the history of the adoption of international legal acts during the 20th– the first third of the 21st century, aimed at protecting the equal rights and opportunities of women and men, as well as the specifics of the activation of legal mechanisms for the formation of national gender equality policy. The purpose of the article is to investigate the historical features of the formation of international legislation based on the analysis of the sources involved in the research, using the latest principles and methods of scientific and historical knowledge and analyze its implementation in the mechanism of realization of the state policy of ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men in Ukraine. The scientific novelty lies in the comprehensive study of the historical process of the introduction of the main international normative legal acts and the peculiarities of their implementation into national legislation. The authors proposed a periodization of the history of the formation of international legislation and the implementation of its main normative legal documents into the mechanism of realization of the state policy of ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women and men. Conclusions. Taking into account the specifics of the chosen topic, we have highlighted three chronological periods during which the process of forming international legislation aimed at protecting women’s rights took place, as well as its implementation in the legal system of Ukraine with the aim of developing effective levers for regulating issues related to the establishment of gender equality in Ukrainian society and prevention of any manifestations of violence. The first period (1980s – early 1990s) covers the beginning of the process of signing and ratifying the first international documents on ensuring gender equality between women and men and the beginning of the formation of national legislation. The second period (the mid-late 1990s of the 20th century) is the time of active work of various platforms of world forums and conferences aimed at protecting women’s rights, as well as the participation of Ukrainian delegations in the development of international and pan-European documents aimed at expanding the rights and opportunities of women part of the society. The third period (the beginning of the 21st century – our time) is the stage when the main efforts of the international community focused on solving issues related to the protection of women during military conflicts, as well as their protection from any type of violence. The stage is characterized by the strengthening of Ukraine’s cooperation with international partners and the improvement of the national policy on ensuring gender equality due to the implementation of progressive norms of international law into its own legal system.
