The subject of this research is flat design as the basic sylistics and visual expression of the era of hypermodernism. Since modern design no longer corresponds to the characteristics of postmodernism, an assumption is made on the advent of the new period in design – hypermodernism. Hypermodernism is the term that implies the enhancement of design trends founded in the era of modernism: orientation towards modernity, design for manufacturability, split with the past, and absence of aesthetic hierarchy. Flat design is a style that visually expresses the aforementioned trends. The research material includes the final research projects in graphic design, interior design and industrial design, completed by the students of the department of Design of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute and the department of Graphic Design and Visual Communications of the Russian State University named after A. N. Kosygin. The article employs the method of semiotic analysis, which allows determining the key attributes used in flat design explicating the essential characteristics of flat design. The conclusion is made that flat design reflects the basic request of the era of hypermodernism – democratization of mentality, leveling of any differences up to the destruction of individuality. The idea of leveling of social differences, underlying the design of modernism, in hypermodernism reaches the idea of erasing any differences, any hierarchy, including the aesthetic. The presence of aesthetic hierarchy in design suggests the use of expressive means – index signs, iconic signs, and symbolic signs. The deconstruction of aesthetic hierarchy leads to the use of unexpressive signs – simulacrums. Most unexpressive sign is the fourth-stage simulacra – the sign, which relationship to any reality is reduced to zero. Flat design uses fourth-stage simulacra as the main form, thus meeting the demand of hypermodernism.

The purpose of the article is to determine the features of the color component of interior design and to identify the aesthetic and artistic features of the color scheme of a modern work area on the example of the capital's coworking centers. Methodology. Art and art analysis in the aspect of design creativity is applied; structural-semiotic analysis, which involves the identification of symbolic, differentiating functions that are embedded in the color of the interior of the coworking center; the method of structural analysis, which contributed to the study of sign systems of the color of the interior of coworking centers with the decoding of the meanings embedded in them; method of comparative analysis, which establishes common features in the perception of color by modern man, identified the characteristics of the role of color in the interior design of the workspace. Scientific novelty. The semantic significance of color in the interior design of a coworking space is studied; the informativeness of color is analyzed on the basis of three parameters (tone, saturation, and brightness); the compositional and decorative function of color is considered; the aesthetic and artistic features of the color scheme of the modern work area are revealed on the example of Kyiv coworking centers and the priority color scale is determined, which contributes to the increase of working capacity. Conclusions. The basis of color perception – physiological, psychological, and aesthetic factors that determine color associations, semantics, and symbolism of color – are ancient archetypes formed under the influence of socio-economic and sacred factors. A variety of color harmonies are widely used in modern workspaces, in the process of organizing production processes, to create psychological accents that improve performance and reduce fatigue. In the context of coworking center design, the approach to color interior design is based primarily on the desire to create an atmosphere that promotes positive emotions, inspires workers to cooperate and productivity. The study found that the rich creative source of the artistic image of the interior of the coworking center is played by archetypes, which involve the image-associative thinking of designers. The color component is not limited to the characteristic scales that meet the latest trends – it is much wider and demonstrates the diversity of design searches. Key words: coworking center, interior design, colors, semantics, color, working capacity.

The present article is dedicated to the problems of the organization and planning of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes, gives grounds for the purposes and tasks of such competence-forming activity as part of the “Oriental studies” speciality program, the Russian State University for the Humanities. The article analyzes these competences, as well as forms and methods of their formation and development. The author presents demarcation of scientific knowledge and gives its characteristics: using most general qualities of a subject, objective reasoning, argumentativeness, results verifiability and reproducibility, consistency, practicality, capability to change, anticipating the future, making forecasts, methodological reflection. The author tried to analyze the reflexive component of scientific and research work of students in more detail. The article presents possible reflexive positions in the interaction between the teacher and the student and shows the dynamics of this interaction, i.e. gives a hierarchy of positions which the student can occupy in the educational process depending on how independent they are in their activity. The article also highlights the content of scientific and research work of students of the University in English classes on the basis of work with foreign texts in the macro-discourse for the “Oriental studies” speciality. The given foundations of the organization and content of scientific and research work of students have been regularly used in English language classes, as well as in optional forms of scientific activity. The students have shown good results and passion for this kind of work, which confirms the correctness of this approach.

Unlike sonographic examinations, sonic fetal heartbeat monitoring has received relatively little attention from scholars in the social sciences. Using the case of fetal heartbeat monitoring as part of midwifery prenatal care in Germany, this contribution introduces music as an analytical tool for exploring the aesthetic dimensions of obstetrical surveillance practices. Based on ethnographic stories, three orchestrations are compared in which three different instruments help audiences to listen to what becomes fetal heartbeat music and to qualify fetal and pregnant lives in relation to each other. In the Doppler-based orchestration, audible heartbeat music is taken as a sign of a child in need of parental love and care cultivated to listen. The Pinard horn makes esoteric fetal music that can be appreciated by the midwife as a skilled instrumentalist alone and helps to enact a child hidden in the belly. The cardiotocograph brings about soothing music and a reassuring relationship with a child but also durable scripts of juridical beauty. This material-semiotic analysis amplifies how well-being is shaped in midwifery prenatal care practices.
