The article aims at defining the specificity of dialogue in Sonata for two violins Op. 10 by Hen- ryk Mikołaj Górecki from the point of view of the performer. This piece, though created in the early period of the composer’s career, belongs to important examples of this genre in 20th century Euro- pean music. With regard to the declared aim, various versions of the dialogue in this sonata were examined. The issue of dialogue in the discussed piece is presented in the context of the individual composer’s style. In order to address the core matter, the analysis of all three movements of the sonata cycle was carried out in terms of different forms of dialogue between the two violins.Górecki’s Sonata represents very interesting types of dialogic communication, conveying various emotional contents: from rivalry to harmony, from expression – sometimes utterly harsh – to joint reflection, from grotesque to contemplation. This piece features a rich sound coloring, which the Master achieves through sonoristic effects and extensive use of dissonant consonances and dynamic contrasts. The piece shows also an excellent sense of the sound space in which the soloists perform. Spatial changes effects are achieved by means of, among other things, rapid shifts from the lowest registers to the highest ones. The „instrumental drama” is accompanied by colorful „dec- orations”, with a wide range of feelings typical of Górecki. The parts of two violins carry out a polyphonic narration. The voices of each „protagonist” receive a different reaction in their vis-à-vis, and in the last part they unite in an expressive, unrestrained dance movement. It is precisely this variety of musical material and the dialogues of the soloists in different categories of perspectives that provide this piece with an intensity of empathic experiences, evoked both in listeners and in performers.

Interest in creativity as a subject of research has been growing exponentially since the second half of the 20th century in all areas of human history. A wide range of both domestic and foreign studies allows authors to assert that creativity is a personality trait, inherent to one degree or another. Whereas the development of such trait becomes an urgent necessity in the new reality. The entire evolutionary process of the social development illustrates its dependence on personal and collective creativity. The aim of this research is to study the phenomenon of creativity through the perspective of axiology, i.e. the science of values. Axiology allows us to consider the realities of the modern world from the perspective of not only external factors, circumstances and situations, but also of deep value foundations. Creativity has been studied quite deeply from the point of view of psychology: the special characteristics of a creative person, stages of the creative process, the relationship between creative and critical thinking, creativity and intelligence. Some psychologists emphasize motivation, creative skills, interdisciplinary knowledge, and the creative environment as the main components that contribute to the development of creativity. The authors of the article argue that values and value orientations towards cognition, creativity, self-realization and self-expression are the drivers of creativity. In a broad sense, values as a matrix of culture determine the attitude of society to creativity, to the development of creativity of the individual and the creative class, and to how economically successful a given society will be. Since innovation and entrepreneurship are embodied creativity. Thus, the study of creativity from the perspective of axiology combines the need for a deep study of this phenomenon and the subjective significance of creativity in the context of new realities

Spherically symmetric models for the dynamic development of a galaxy cluster from an initial overdensity have been carried out numerically, without dissipation or 2-body relaxation but with shell crossings included. The deviation ∆V from pure Hubble Flow of the Local Group, due to the retardation effect of the Virgo cluster and supercluster, has been calculated from a number of different models by Hoffman and Salpeter (Astrophys. J. 263, 1982, in press). The results are somewhat surprising if one takes the point of view of (a) insisting that the dynamic model fit the observed dispersion of galaxy systemic velocities in the core of the Virgo cluster, but (b) allowing the mass to light ratio M/L to be an arbitrary (but smoothly varying) function of distance from the Virgo cluster center. Point (a) essentially fixes the mass density and M/L in the core, but (b) still allows a wide range of values for the cosmological density parameters Ω (proportional to the average M/L far from the Virgo cluster). With this point of view ∆V actually decreases with increasing Ω: If M/L is constant, Ω ≈ 0.3 and ∆V ≈ 250 km s–1 (Hoffman, Olson and Salpeter, Ap. J. 242, 861, 1980); for Ω ~ 0.05, ∆V would exceed 350 km s–1; for Ω = 1, AV could be less than 150 km s–1.

Abstract Interest in the electrical behavior of elastomers stems from several widely different sources. From the theoretical standpoint electrical measurements provide a valuable tool for the study of the molecular structure of elastomers and other polymers and the relation of structure to properties. From a practical point of view an understanding of the electrical behavior enables the manufacturer of wire and cable to produce insulation that will better withstand the severe conditions of space flight, or that will meet price competition and show a profit. The present day applications of elastomers are so many and varied that nearly any type of compound is likely to be employed for some practical purpose. A cable for x-ray equipment, for example, may be made wholly from elastomers with conductor, insulation, and jacket each from a different compound. At one time when almost the only electrical use of rubber was to provide the highest practical degree of electrical insulation it was correct to speak of “good” and “poor” electrical properties. Now, however, an elastomer that is a poor insulator may be excellent in an antistatic application. Communication cables require an insulation of the lowest practical dielectric constant, but for power cables a layer of insulation of high dielectric constant next to the conductor may be essential to prevent excessive electrical stresses. Modern technology not only calls for a wide diversity of electrical properties but it often requires further that elastomers having these properties be available in a wide range of mechanical properties. For example, the insulation on a cable for use in an airplane must be as thin and light as possible to save weight while an unarmored cable for laying in shallow water must have insulation that is thick and tough for mechanical protection and of high specific gravity to prevent the cable's being moved by waves or tide. Thus, the diversity of present and possible future applications is such that no one in the industry is likely to escape for long some contact with an application involving an electrical property. Accordingly, this review has been prepared to acquaint the rubber chemist and technologist with current information in the field. In the 25 years that have elapsed since an earlier review was prepared by the same author a great deal of work has been done on the relation between the properties of polymers and their molecular composition and structure. It is now possible to predict the properties of some polymers from their structural formulas, and a beginning has been made in relating the properties of simple elastomeric compounds to the properties of the different ingredients. However, knowledge in the field is still far from the state at which it would be possible to compile a table of functions such that the electrical properties of a multi-ingredient insulating compound could be computed from the properties of the individual ingredients.

This article discusses the important aspects of the dialogue between the individual and the state in modern times. The importance of interaction between the government and the society in the modern world is one of the most urgent tasks for young researchers and for the society as a whole. Emphasizing the importance of strengthening and developing a democratic state governed by the rule of law, researchers identify a wide range of factors that have a direct impact on the positive and effective development of interaction between the government and the society. One such factor is the model of individual-state dialogue. The study of such a dialogue from an anthropological point of view will make it possible to highlight the most successful models of interaction between the society authorities to create effective management mechanisms that affect both the quality of citizens’ life and the development of the state as a whole in a positive way. For a more detailed study of the models of building a dialogue between the individual and the state, it is necessary to consider the existing examples of interaction and analyze the historical aspects of the relationship between the society and the state. The modern practice of state and municipal governing strives to make the government more transparent and open to citizens, such a policy contributes to the maximum involvement of citizens in the public and political life of the state. The article also deals with the issues of involving citizens in the social and political life of the society; it discusses the motivational measures and the policy of the state in the field of engaging citizens in interaction and establishment of a meaningful, effective dialogue between the society and the state.

The article offers an analysis of the verbal image of “love” in the poetry of Lina Kostenko, traces its lexical-associative and functional-stylistic development. Cognitive-textual analysis shows that the individual linguosophy of the image of “love” in Lina Kostenko’s poetry harmoniously combines tradition and innovation. In particular, there is a continuation of the tradition of sublime-romantic description of the feeling of love, its sacralization. The harmonization of human feelings and the state of nature characteristic of Ukrainian folk poetics, which is manifested in numerous natural-morphological metaphors, is also stated. These metaphors cover a wide range of nominative and verb images that are thematically related to plants. A typical models of metaphorization of the feeling of love – its understanding in terms of conceptospheres “fire”, “element”, “music”. Each of these models is presented from the point of view of Lina Kostenko’s individual author’s vision. The formulas for expressing the feeling of feeling “I love you”, “I think of you” are also textually productive in L. Kostenko’s poetry. Their content is often specified, express the circumstances of the mode of action, time. The affinity of L. Kostenko’s language with the vernacular is evidenced by phraseologized descriptions of love. A number of metaphors by L. Kostenko express the complexity of negative emotional phenomena and states related to love, such as “separation”, “alienation”, “pain”, “anxiety”. The most representative for L. Kostenko’s poetry positively marked lexical-associative connections of the concept of “love” include “love – a kiss” and “love – a dream”.

The greatest minds of antiquity laid the foundation for the science of persuasion, that is, an ability to persuade the listener to a given point of view. The sophists were particularly successful in this. The works of the classics show how complex the process of persuasion is. To convince means to make you believe that you are right. The relevance of the study of this topic is due to the rapidly increasing influence of the media on the modern society formation and management of the masses. Taking into account a fairly large number of publications, the problem is not studied in detail, despite the fact that technologies are rapidly developing. The steady interest of researchers in this problem is determined by its significance in society. The object of the study is manipulation in management. The subject of the study is media techniques as a tool for mass management. Method of argumentation is citation of references. The objectives of the study are to characterize the manipulative techniques of the media; describe management technologies; classify manipulation tools. The purpose of the study is to scientifically substantiate the effectiveness of using manipulative media technologies as a management tools and to consider the practical implementation’s forms of this phenomenon. The research methodology is based on the principle of objectivity, universal connection and development. Research methods. The research was based on traditional general scientific methods; methods of induction, deduction, and interpretation have been actively used. Conclusion. Manipulation appears as a socio-psychological phenomenon aimed at a person. At the same time, the tools of manipulation are ideas, forms, techniques, and methods. Manipulative influence in the framework of mass communication takes the form of commercial and political propaganda. The media sets the tone in public discussions and disputes. The influence of mass media on the modern society functioning is rapidly increasing. Manipulative technologies used to influence public consciousness are very diverse. They provide a great variety of opportunities for the formation and strengthening of values, attitudes, and behaviors. For the purposes of communicative influence, the media actively use traditional technologies and create new ones that allow opening up great opportunities for manipulation. This phenomenon is the object of the scientists’ close attention. It is concluded that the media use a wide range of manipulative technologies: both traditional and innovative. They allow you to influence both the individual and the society as a whole in order to control the public consciousness and introduction of specified behaviors into it. The development of manipulative media techniques allows the authorities to introduce the necessary attitudes to the masses

Individualism is one of the fundamental traits of our time, based on an emphatic and recurrent defence of individual freedom, as experienced by consciousness. This point of view seems to entail a refuse of all kinds of transcendence, cosmological or onto-theological, characterized by an authoritarian and undisputed heteronomy. However, this perspective does not take into account a third type of transcendence, one that occurs in that radical immanence, in the core of individual freedom and autonomy. This type of transcendence takes shape as an ethical and aesthetical relationship carved in the heart of each individual human being, each one of his particular conscious States and the simultaneous consciousness of his Humanity. The aim of this essay is to give an understanding of Ludwig Feuerbach’s The Essence of Christianity and its philosophy of Revelation, as a reflection on religion and its anthropological origins. In our viewpoint, The Essence of Christianity is an effort to ascertain the genetic elements of human religiosity and clarify its meaning as a movement of reconnecting the human individual with a transcendence that is his own Humanity, given in the immanence of his conscious life. Religion remains a law of transcendence, as the feeling that binds the individual to his Humanity, an everlasting commandment coming from an Otherness that projects itself as a horizon to his free actions.

The article addresses the problems of dialogue in educational process, and interdisciplinary dialogic communication. It analyzes the question–answer dialogue as a unit of study. Dialogic speech has its own characteristics in terms of selection, design and functional orientation use of language material. The structure of the educational dialogue in the external form is most often a question–answer complex. Question– stimulus and answer –response in the dialogue are two interrelated components. Relationship questions and answers are the core of the dialogue. With proper organization of the teaching of the dialogue in the course of practical Russian language is a prerequisite for enriching students’ language skills in a very wide range.

The article is devoted to a topic that has not been sufficiently studied in domestic and foreign literature - a philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of health in the historical and modern contexts of the development of knowledge. This understanding takes into account the diversity of forms of physical, mental and social conditions of a person. Also, in this work, a comparative analysis of the justification of health in various evolutionary-historical, cultural and philosophical interpretations is carried out. In the article, the authors have shown the promise of using "the floors of our health" (according to Yu.A. Andreev) for a philosophical presentation of modern concepts of human health. The aim of the research is a philosophical presentation of modern concepts of health. Preservation and maintenance of health is one of the fundamental values of human life. Despite this, a number of issues remain unresolved that are essential for the study of problems related to human health. Therefore, the article presents an attempt to outline and analyze a wide range of different views and ideas about the health problem. The increasing importance of philosophy of health in solving practical problems of physical and spiritual development of a person in the era of industrialism is shown. In addition, the authors highlight the importance and relevance of the problem of a person's awareness, their needs, their attitude to health at any stage of personality development. The authors revealed the connection between the deterioration of health and the occurrence of diseases with the development of mankind, the predominance of the physical over the spiritual, the material over the moral, the progress of the technogenic world. Although from a spiritual point of view, diseases, under certain conditions, can become a source of positive spiritual experience, which is of great importance for the individual.

AbstractNeuropathic pain and fibromyalgia are prevalent diseases which have major consequences on healthcare resources and the individual. From the clinical point of view neuropathic pains represent a heterogeneous group of aetiologically different diseases ranging from cancer to diabetes. Patients with fibromyalgia also display clinical features common in neuropathic pain suggesting that there might be some overlap. The mechanisms responsible for symptoms and signs in both diseases are still unknown. Recently, there have been numerous reports of various pharmacological treatments of neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia with often disappointing results. Most of the studies were of short duration, had high attrition rates, and displayed other methodological problems. Some compounds had high rates of adverse effects which makes it often difficult for the patients to tolerate the treatment, especially in the long-term. At present, the best options for medication treatment are tricyclic antidepressants in lower dosage than usual in psychiatric disorders and a wide range of anticonvulsants. Opioids are sometimes recommended but have been found to have minor efficacy. Recently, there have been more controlled trials, which are reported here if they had been published between 2002 and 2004. Various compounds have been tested in different studies. Treatment of fibromyalgia, which has many features in common with depressive symptoms, became the focus of interest. New promising studies with dual serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (duloxetine and milnacipram) and a newer antiepileptic drug (pregabalin) are in progress. Future research will have to apply new approaches (eg, using a mechanism based classification of neuropathic pain and carrying out studies in populations with the same symptom but not necessarily the same disease) in order to find effective treatments for these common and often debilitating diseases.
