In recent studies it was argued that the Maitland Graves Design Judgment Test does not succeed in measuring what it purports to measure. 22 experts (designers, painters, and sculptors) were asked to examine critically the test items consisting of pairs or triads of designs. The results indicate that most of the designs were “badly constructed” and unsuitable for the evaluation of the degree to which S perceives and responds to basic principles of aesthetic order. The agreement of experts was .92. It was conluded that the test could not be used for the selection of students for courses in the visual arts.

Idioms are metaphorical expressions that cannot be translated literally. They are widely used in English because they make everyday speech more interesting and entertaining for native speakers. It is assumed that there are about twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions in English and one of the most common thematic areas for idioms is colour. Idiomatic expressions are a fun way to enhance the vocabulary and cultural knowledge of learners of English. However, mastering these expressions cause difficulties for students not only because their meaning is not deductible from the meanings of the words comprising it, but also due to the different meaning of colours in the cultures around the world. For instance, purple is usually connected with aristocracy, affluence, and piousness across the globe but in Thailand and Brazil it is the colour of bereavement. In this article we have described an approach to check the acquisition of idiomatic expressions and facilitate their long-term retention by using online practice tests. These tests are designed by the teacher and taken by students on their personal computers or mobile phones at their own convenience. Furthermore, specifically developed criteria for test construction are listed together with typical test questions based on them. Examples of test items are presented to illustrate the process of test creation. Finally, an appendix of a selection of the most widely used idiomatic expressions with colours is compiled.

The article considers methods of involving artificial intelligence in artistic practices. Based on the analysis of ways to use this technology in visual arts and music, the basic principles of working with artificial intelligence technology are identified, including: imitation of historical art, implemented in projects The Next Rembrandt and Choral; generative art, which is found in the works “Hyperbolic Composition І” and “Hyperbolic Composition ІІ” of S. Eaton and also in the AIVA program (Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist). The importance of the mechanisms of neurobiology in the process of working with artificial intelligence on the example of the project “Neural Zoo” of S. Crespo, Iamus program, in which the development of musical material is based on the principle of evolution, is stated. In the application Endel and in the opera “Emotionally intelligent” Artificially Intelligent Brainwave Opera» of E. Perlman, a neural network is used to read information about the human condition and its further processing for modification into a sound landscape or image. The development of artificial intelligence and its use in artistic practices opens up new opportunities, expanding both the field of authors of artistic content and attracting new audience. This phenomenon provokes many issues, including: the ability to think artificially of artificial intelligence, the ability to create works of art without human intervention, as well as issues related to copyright.

The relevance of teaching a foreign language to future teachers in the context of updating school education puts forward requirements for the choice of teaching strategies. The article deals with the meta-subject aspect of foreign language training of future teachers. To form the readiness of future teachers to use the potential of a foreign language, it is important to understand the basic principles of integrating the content of special disciplines and knowledge of a foreign language. The meta-subject potential of a foreign language allows you to create opportunities for the development of general and special professional competencies. The formation of the competencies necessary to work with the updated content of education is the main task of the courses of the component for the choice of the bachelor's degree program at pedagogical university. The selection of optimal learning strategies contributes to the implementation of this task. The author examines the features of the use of modern pedagogical technologies and methods in the training of teachers of a new format.

The Vidovdan Constitution of the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes is one of the most important monuments of regional history of constitutional law. Adopted in 1921, in order to determine the basic principles of state and social organization, the Vidovdan Constitution contained certain provisions that are still acceptable today 100 years later. Moreover, the Vidovdan Constitution represents one of the most important moments in the creation of the administrative judiciary of the states that later emerged in the territory of the Kingdom. Namely, the literature states that the organization of the administrative judiciary, provided by the Constitution, leads to the most significant period in the development of the administrative judiciary (in Serbia) from its founding in 1869 until the Second World War. In this regard, as one of the most important aspects, authors emphasize the introduction of a two-tier administrative judiciary, with significant guarantees of professionalism in the selection of judges. Having in mind its significance in the history of the administrative judiciary, the authors will analyze the basic constitutional norms regarding the legal nature and organization of the administrative judiciary. Also, the research will include the issue of the position of judges of the administrative court and members of the State Council. In addition to the constitutional provisions, paper gives mentions to relevant provisions of the Law on the State Council and Administrative Courts, as well as the Decree on the State Council and Administrative Courts adopted shortly after the Vidovdan Constitution.

The safe and competent practice of acupuncture requires the practitioner to conform to a number of basic principles. These include minimising the risk of transmission of infection, maintaining sufficient knowledge of anatomy to guide safe needling, and seeking an orthodox medical diagnosis before embarking on treatment. Beyond these basic principles, there are certain circumstances in practice that generate regular debate amongst practitioners. This article details advice on a limited selection of such circumstances. This advice has been drawn from a set of policy statements originally drafted to facilitate clarity and consistency within the teaching of Western medical acupuncture provided by the BMAS. It is not comprehensive, but covers the areas where there were the greatest differences in approach among the teaching staff. The original policy statements were also incorporated into the BMAS Code of Practice. By using the guidance in this article, in addition to applying sound clinical judgement and a knowledge of relevant anatomy, we hope that practitioners will minimise both the theoretical risks and the reported serious adverse events related to acupuncture, yet be able to practise unencumbered by illogical restrictions.

In this paper a mathematical model for obtaining probability distribution of the knowledge testing results is proposed. Differences and similarities of this model and Item Response Theory (IRT) logistic model are discussed. Probability distributions of 10 items test results for low, middle and high ability populations selecting characteristic functions of the various difficulty items combinations are obtained. Entropy function values for these items combinations are counted. These results enable to formulate recomendations for test items selection for various testing groups according to their attainment level. Method of selection of a suitable item characteristic function based on the Kolmogorov compatibility test, is proposed. This method is illustrated by applying it to a discreet mathematics test item. Santrauka Straipsnyje pasiūlytas matematinis modelis žinių tikrinimo rezultatų tikimybiniam skirstiniui gauti.
