Статья посвящена покровительству Великой княгини Елизаветы Федоровны музыкальному образованию на примере двух основных московских училищ музыкального направления. Рассматриваются различные аспекты попечительства в целях качественного обеспечения учебного процесса, помощи «недостаточным учащимся», поощрения наиболее талантливых учеников, создания условий для широкого практического применения учащимися полученных знаний в лучших творческих коллективах России. Также уделено внимание содействию Великой княгини возникновению в России новых музыкальных и театральных направлений при участии преподавателей и выпускников Музыкально-драматического и Синодального училищ. The article is devoted to Grand Duchess Elizaveta Feodorovna’s activities as a patron of music education in Russia, focusing on the two main Moscow schools specializing in music as a case study. The author analyzes various aspects of her patronage aimed at providing high-quality teaching, assisting poor pupils, and encouraging the most talented ones, creating a wide basis for practical application of knowledge acquired by graduates in the best on-stage performance groups of Russia.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has emerged in the 21st century as a leading form of building rapid transit in urban environs due to their ability as a rapidly implementable, relatively low-cost, flexible, and high-quality transit mode. While the popularity of the BRT mode continues to grow worldwide, there remains a degree of uncertainty over what designing for success looks like for BRT systems. This paper sought to determine whether there was a "correct" design approach for BRT implementation through literature review and case study. The case study revealed that despite differences in design and implementation, the cases successfully attained their respective planning and performance objectives. The inherent flexibility of the BRT mode allowed for BRT systems to be scaled to a wide array of operating and ridership contexts, as well as allow for incremental enhancements to the system as the passenger demands, available financing, and political will for upgrades arise. Key Words: bus rapid transit; BRT; BRT Lite; service package; system design.

The growth of the event sector is underpinned by the demand of organizing a business event.  Thus, it leads to an increase in economic and social impact. However, the problems from the growth of this sector potentially results from the use of several event materials, transportation and infrastructure development.  Organizing a green event is seen as one of the strategies to reduce the environmental impact.  Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the issues involved throughout the process of greening an event by applying Mair and Jago Model.  Semi-structured interviews were conducted with event managers from six Malaysia business event companies that encourage green practices during their event.  Findings suggest that impact, initiative, support and performance motivates event organizers in organizing a green event.  It has also been found that knowledge, resources and behaviour are the barriers faced by event organizers throughout the process of organizing a green event.  Based on the findings it appears that two important factors have emerged from the data collection and analysis that showed a deviation from the Mair and Jago Model, namely “impact” for the motivation element and “support” for the barrier element.  The main limitation of this study was the scope of the study; as it only focuses on business events.  However, as the main purpose of this study is to explore the issues of organizing a green event, it has been found that there are other issues need to be explored in other contexts and geographical area.  Apart from this, as this is a case study, it can only replicate according to the circumstances of this case study. However, this study can be generalized in terms of the theory that has emerged from it.  It is suggested that further research should explore more issues in other contexts and geographical areas.
