This article represents the research of interpretative (subjective) approach to the correlation of adjacent linguistic branches — speechology and stylistics of an academic text. The explanatory cognitive-discursive and stylistic approach to solving the problem relies on the principles of the functional style concept developed by the Perm Scientific School led by Prof. M. N. Kozhina, in particular, on the unity of two sides of text — the linguistic one (that is its meaning structure) and the extralinguistic one (its meaning as a given). The unlimited variety of particular texts (even only in the academic and cognitive sphere of human activities) is one of significant reasons for applying a “soft” interpretative approach for the object analysis in speechology and functional stylistics (this approach always depends on the subject of analysis and is therefore subjective). The meaning text structure has a categorical and gradual character and that is why it correlates with the issue of the model academic text. Through the imposition of categories/parameters of this “categorical thermometer”, the speech phenomena are qualified as style-forming (that is significant for stylistics of academic speech) and non-style-forming (or discursive) which are significant for speechology. The extralinguistic base correlates with the factors which are located on the scale “farther — closer” against the subject of cognitive activity. “Farther” is a form of public conscience (corresponding type of activity and thinking), “closer” is a style of academic thinking, a personal cognitive style, an individual speech style of an academic, a language personality. The dominant and style-forming factors strongly influence the selection and appropriate use of language units, creation of a text by an author and perception of a text by a reader, as well as the interpretation of a text by a researcher in the field of functional stylistics. The academic text is being formed under the influence of differently orientated factors (towards the object and the subject), which are discursive and non-style-forming in the framework of one style. The discursive factors can operate as strong ones and weak ones (peripheral, optional) in the framework of one style. Their impact is comprehensive and appropriate as well as implicit and diverse — that is why their further differentiation is interpretative (subjective). The focus of speechology is just the research of non-style-forming extralinguistic factors.

n the second half of the 19th century – especially in the period following the introduction of the Academic Constitution of 1869, and in the 1880s and continuing until the forced closure of Theological Academies after the Revolutionary coup – the historical and liturgical research area in Russian academic science experienced a period of its formation and flourishing. The subject of the article is a comparison of approaches to the study of the worship service history and analysis of the formation of the research methodology for teaching Liturgics by professors N.V. Pokrovsky and I.A. Karabinov of the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, where they taught the history of Christian worship from the 1880’s until its forced closure in 1918. Analysis and juxtapos- ing of academic courses in Liturgics allows defining the boundaries and content of the discipline in the period of its formation as well as considering the evolu- tion in research methodology and, more broadly, the formation of the Russian historical and liturgical scientific school. A comparison of the courses reveals the authors attitudes towards histori- cal sources material and its studies. Their own ideas about the provenance of various rites used in church worship characterize their views on the develop- ment of the liturgical tradition, expressing their approaches to its study and thereby form our picture of the establishment of historical Liturgics as a field of researchable knowledge.

Mathematical tools allow us to clearly explain the phenomenon studied in administrative science. Various studies have shown that linear function is a concept, widely used in administration, as well as in other kinds of science, but difficult for students to grasp and assimilate as a tool in their studies. That is the reason that the objective of the present project was to determine the difficulties faced by students of administration in learning the concept of the linear function, based on the theoretical elements of Raymond Duval’s registers of semiotic representation, to identify areas of opportunity in the teaching/learning process of this mathematical concept. Therefore, we designed an instrument made up of eight situations, which altogether consist of 24 problems. This instrument was validated by three experts in the area. Later, in keeping with the nature of the data to be collected, the instrument was given to a small randomly chosen sample group of six students studying under-graduate level administration and who were taking the subject of Mathematics for Business I. Students had the most difficulty in dealing with the registry of graphic representation and the cognitive activity of conversion between graphic and algebraic registers. It was also discovered that apparently context problems favored the latter conversion activity. We recommend these findings be further studied in a didactic approach to the issue, as well as carrying out studies of this nature on other mathematical objects in the course.

It is no secret to the knowledgeable people what the Muslim Umah is passing through these days; the dissolution of its unity, disunity in speech and delay in its march. This matter calls upon every Muslim to reflect on, then strives to find appropriate solutions by mean of which the Umah can recover, and gain back its past glory and sovereignty. That can be by clarifying the elements of moral strength that is represented in the faith in Allah and trust in Him, working on self-purification and refinement, the achievement of fraternity, social solidarity, constructive dialogue, laying the foundations of the principle of consultation, concern for the family and so on. That can also be by clarifying the elements of material strength, which is reflected in the preparation of the force, achieving unity, abundance of production, protection of the gains, capacity development and so on. The research also addressed the consequences of failing to achieve the foregoing, and ways to avoid them. The research also presented some recommendations and constructive proposals. The approach taken in this research is inductive interpretative approach of the verses on the subject of search.

The survey is dedicated to the identification of cognitive barriers in educational and professional activities among students with field-dependent and field-independent styles of cognitive activity. For these purposes, we used the principle of taxonomy proposed by B. Bloom (“the taxonomy of the levels of knowledge of Benjamin Blum”), as well as the “Gottschaldt figures” technique. The results show that the cognitive style is a factor influencing the level of cognitive difficulties.

the subject of research – modern academic music of the 20th century is a special kind of art, the effective development of which by students of art departments and universities requires appropriate methods. The purpose of the work is to consider problematic teaching methods that ensure the effective mastery of complex artistic material by university students who do not have sympathy for 20th century music. To verify the effectiveness of the application of problem learning techniques when students mastered avantgarde music, a pedagogical experiment was conducted to introduce problem problems, the case method and the design method into the process of mastering musical and historical disciplines. The study carried out a theoretical justification and introduced into creative practice the methods considered, which made it possible to involve the student in the development of discipline in the process of creative activity, which significantly increases the level of cognitive activity and contributes to the formation of students; to solve the problem of modern musical skill, students of the musical and pedagogical profile of education were presented with problem problems, and the task requiring brainstorming – to practically “guess” the alleged image of the author – had the necessary didactic effect. Methodological recommendations related to the use of problematic methods in music education are formulated.

This chapter provides an introduction to the theme of political legitimacy in the medieval Islamic Maghrib and al-Andalus. It reviews previous historiographical approaches to the subject and considers the Arabic sources for the period, arguing for the importance of considering the two sides of the straits of Gibraltar as a single cultural zone. It then looks at political legitimacy in the Islamic Middle East and North Africa in general before tracing the evolution of particular themes in the Maghrib and al-Andalus up to the period covered by the volume. It ends with a brief review of the other chapters in the volume and their multi-disciplinary contribution to understandings of political legitimation in the region.

What is it that makes a text a good text? The answer to this question is of vital concern to education in writing. Evaluation of children's texts requires explicit and well-founded criteria for text quality. In this article it is argued that text structure should be considered as an important criterion for the evaluation of expository texts. Therefore, a model for the analysis of text structure is proposed. This model is based on and applied to explanations written spontaneously by 11 and 12 year old children, who were asked to explain something (e.g.: "who or what is Santa Claus?") to someone who does not know anything about the subject. The analyis results in a hierarchichal text representation in which the links between text segments (clauses) are made explicit. This is done in terms of the hierarchical position in the text (coordinating or subordinating links) and in terms of the coherence relation that holds between the clauses (e.g. Cause-Consequence, Claim-Argument). To provide problems of subjective interpretation it is proposed to make the analysis explicit by means of an algorithmic procedure that is to be developed . The heart of this analytic procedure is that there are two grounds to connect text segments: referential continuity and a line of events. On the basis of the analysis three types of text structure problems can be identified in children's texts: Discontinuity, incompleteness and ambiguity. All three can also be revised on the basis of the analysis. In the case of discontinuity, the information must be reorganized, in the case of incompleteness information must be added and in the case of ambiguity the relation between segments must be made explicit. The analysis of text structure provides the basis for a criterion for text quality assessment. After all, the major goal of a writer trying to explain something to a reader is that the reader understands what the writer means. Understanding a text means constructing a coherent representation of that text. If readers have trouble in constructing such a representation, the text should be evaluated negatively. This is exactly what the analysis predicts: It is difficult to construct a coherent representation at the points in the text structure where discontinuity, incompleteness and ambiguity occur.

An article by T. Rockmore, published in the journal “Epistemology and Philosophy of Science” in 2009 (Vol. XXII. No. 4, pp. 14‒29), claim that naturalism is by its nature an example of anti-Kantianism, for it treats philosophy as a continuation science and recognizes science as a legitimate source of knowledge, does not allow a priori, relies on an a posteriori approach, empiricism in the pre-Kantian sense, and insists on the possibility of revising the knowledge acquired. This article has a goal to show that T. Rockmore point of view should be revised due to the progress of modern cognitive research and, first of all, neuroscience, in which all the features of the naturalistic approach are implemented and in which the “Kantian program” of brain research is developed. In the context of this program, the existence on the ontological level (i.e., in the brain) of certain neural structures that make it possible and play a crucial role in the cognitive activity of a person is recognized. Those concepts that Kant treated as components of cognitive activity in modern neuroscience acquired ontological status in the form of the activity of certain neural structures, which turn out to be prerequisites and components of this activity. We claim that in the context of the Kantian research program in neuroscience, the metaphor “Kantian brain” naturally entered the vocabulary of neuroscientists, and certain specific operations and functions of the brain began to be associated with individual elements of Kant's ideas. It is in this context attempts are made to comprehend the mechanisms of the brain in the “stimulus – activity” mode, when an external effect leads to the excitation of certain neural structures. The brain is capable to anticipate the long-term results of certain actions of the subject. In the case of foresight, the brain generates “internal” models and uses for their correction external data that constantly provided from reality across the subject. At the same time, some kind of self-correcting mechanisms implements, which from a formal point of view described by the Bayes theorem, using a priori evaluations of upcoming events and changes in these evaluations as result of experience. Thus, naturalism and Kantianism understood in the context of the progress of modern science, despite T. Rockmore idea, are completely compatible.

The article points to the social aspects of marketing in the market activity of business entities. It results in the processual character of management in the exchange of products (values) between two sides of the market (demand and supply), which consists of two market groups (two groups of people). It is these groups of people that are the subject of management, including those involved in the implementation of its basic functions, necessary for the implementation of the objectives of market activity. This subjective character of management was presented in selected economic entities.
