Dialogue (discourse) is the main indication leading us to the conclusion that mediation is constructive. Discourse, the main form of dialogue, allows to achieve a positive result of mediation – an agreement between the participants of the conflict, as well as to learn dialogue communication skills. The aim of this study is to determine the types of dialogue used in mediation, the usage of recognized dialogue, and to find methods for assessing the dialogue (discourse) skills that need to be taught to the participants of the conflict, as well as future mediators and to evaluate the effectiveness of mediation. The research was conducted based on the theoretical methods of analysis of modern concept of dialogue and empirical testing methods (using questionnaires) of the participants of the conflicts and future mediators. Methods of mathematical statistics were used, when processing and analyzing the results of the questionnaires. As a result of this work, the types of dialogue used in mediation are identified, recommendations on the choice of components and barriers of dialogue to be considered by the mediator when training participants in the conflict and future mediators are made, as well as recommendations on assessment the effectiveness of mediation are offered.

A survey is presented of the use of unobtrusive testing techniques to measure reference enquiry answering performance, emphasising research carried out in Britain. British studies reveal similar performance figures to those obtained by American studies; the average succes rate here also being only about 55 per cent. Possible developments in the use of the techniques to aid user service research and management are suggested, and the limitations of unobtrusive testing methods are considered. The improvement of enquiry answering performance would seem to lie in better training of library staff in communication skills.

The article describes the stages of development of rhythmic notation, characterizes the essence of the reform of Franco of Cologne. Its significance for the formation of the Ars Nova notation has been revealed. The research methodology is based on a combination of general-historical and theoretical methods. The Franco’s notation reform can be summed up by next basic points. Firstly, in the framework of the already existing and rather long tradition of mensural music, which began condition ally from Johannes de Garlandia (in theory, in practice – even before), the Franco’s treatise had a unifying and systematic meaning. Also, the author brilliantly summarized the groundwork of an entire epoch in the history of western rhythmic notation. If we consider the pre-Franco’s notation to be potentially mensural, then Franco puts it in a classical form that will be relevant for the next two centuries. Secondly, Franco in his reform fixes the transition from a modal notation (which is still not quite stable in terms of unambiguous reading) to the actual mensural (quite stable in this attitude). And finally, in a broader sense, the Franco’s mensural system can be considered a completely emancipated system of musical rhythm. It is not related to the rhythm of the poem, either with the rhythm of prose, or with a priori rhythmic formulas that largely comprise the content of modal rhythm. From this point of view, the mensural system represents a further step in separating music from the word, from the verse, from the grammar. The collapse and interpenetration of modes led to the idea of a triple metric unit, abstraction from modes, to the idea of perfection. The connection with modes remained, since the perfection was a triple one, but it was already a theoretical abstraction, practically equivalent to the modern concept of a bar. Further steps in this direction were made by Vitry and Muris.

It has been approximately 100 years since the very first formal experimental evaluations of statistical charts were conducted. In that time, technological changes have impacted both our charts and our testing methods, resulting in a dizzying array of charts, many different taxonomies to classify graphics, and several different philosophical approaches to testing the efficacy of charts and graphs experimentally. Once rare, charts and graphical displays are now everywhere—but do they help us understand? In this article we review the history of graphical testing across disciplines, discuss different direct approaches to testing graphics, and contrast direct tests with visual inference, which requires that the viewer determine both the question and the answer. Examining the past 100 years of graphical testing, we summarize best practices for creating effective graphics and discuss what the future holds for graphics and empirical testing of interactive statistical visualizations.

The object of the study is the territory, which is characterized by household and production load, and their characteristic tendencies of changes in the volume of electricity consumption, and therefore it is necessary to create forecast models that take into account the influence of external climatic fac-tors and their contribution to the forecast of energy consumption of the ob-ject. In the work, theoretical methods and experimental studies were used, consisting in a scientific analysis of trends in changes in power consumption depending on changes in factors, methods of mathematical statistics, statis-tical samples, factors and data from the weather service. During this study, external climatic factors that influence the process of changing the energy consumption of an object and their degree of influence on changing con-sumption were determined. To improve the accuracy of forecasting, it is pro-posed to break the data into working days and days off, since consumption in these periods is of a different nature.

Research aim: to ground expediency of the use of exercises of volitional gymnastics in the process of P.E of senior pupils and check their efficiency. For the decision of the tasks put in-process, the next methods of research were used: analysis of pedagogical and scientifically-methodical literature; conversations are with specialists; pedagogical supervision; pedagogical testing; methods of mathematical statistics. Conclusions. Exercises of volitional gymnastics, that extraordinarily simple in mastering, do not require the presence of the specially equipped place and the implementations of various exercises based on principle without a burden, with conscious tension of corresponding muscles, can be fruitfully used in P.E of senior pupils. The use of exercises of volitional gymnastics in the process of P.E of students of higher forms assists the increase of level of development of flexibility and force, that it was experimentally well-proven during research. A most increase was observed in development of force (25%) and flexibility (24,49%) for senior pupils that executed exercises of volitional gymnastics on the lessons of physical culture and independently at home.

The purpose of the research is to theoretically ground and experimentally verify the effectiveness of the effect of artistic gymnastics exercises on the development of coordination abilities of female high-schoolers. To achieve the tasks set, the research used the following methods: study and analysis of pedagogical, scientific and methodological literature, interviews with experts, pedagogical observations, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. Research results. The paper grounds and experimentally verifies the effectiveness of the effect of artistic gymnastics exercises on the development of coordination abilities in female high-schoolers. It proves that the use of exercises borrowed from artistic gymnastics in physical training classes of high school (particularly: with no object (specific movements, balance, turns and jumps) and with objects (skipping rope, hoop, ball)) and of auxiliary exercises (classical choreography, ballroom and folk dances, musical-rhythmic and acrobatic exercises) helps improve the ability to feel the rhythm, movement coordination, the ability to maintain balance and spacial awareness.

The research objective is to determine the age-related peculiarities of development of motor abilities in 12-14-year-old boys. To achieve the tasks set, the research used the following methods: theoretical analysis and collation of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. To determine the age-related changes in the motor readiness, the 12-14-year-old boys took some commonly known tests, and the results obtained underwent analysis by the Hotelling criterion. The study involved 12 boys aged 12, 12 boys aged 13, and 12 boys aged 14. Conclusions. The boys within the age range of 12-14 manifested an increase in their speed force and speed. With age, the 12-14-year-old boys do show positive dynamics in the tests “Bending and unbending of arms in the lying support”, “1,500 m running”. The 12-14-year-old boys demonstrated a clear structure of motor readiness, which tends to change with age. If endurance and relative strength are the priorities in development at the age of 12, it is agility and speed force that come to the forefront at the age of 14.
