The purpose of the article. The article is devoted to the characteristics of leisure in the context of art science practices as a factor in the development of the emotional, intellectual and cultural potential of the individual and society. The expansion of the opportunities regarding substantiation of the impact of art science practices at the intersection of art research and neuroscience. The methodology is based on the interdisciplinary method, which involves the study of issues in the interaction and synthesis of knowledge of neuroscience and art history, which allows obtaining new fundamental results and combine them into a general scientific picture of the world, questionnaire method, which consists in finding and studying new knowledge, which carried out during the survey in research work at the School of Art Experts, method of generalization, which revealed a common worldview paradigm. The scientific novelty for the first time, the issue of leisure was discovered and synthesized in the context of research with the involvement of research conducted in the field of neuroscience, indicated in the works of neurobiologists. For the first time, the analysis of interdisciplinary research is carried out and the mechanism of influence is defined to art studies, in particular the influence on the emotional, intellectual and social situation of the individual. Conclusions. Leisure through the art science practice occupies an intermediate place between personal experience and education, accumulating knowledge about the surrounding world of visual forms. Art science practices, as a system of development through creative kinds of leisure, indicate its synergistic aspects, which are embodied in the socio-personal characteristics of a modern individual. The analysis of interdisciplinary research, in particular neuroscience, determined and substantiated the powerful influence of art science practices on the development of not only the emotional and intellectual potential of a person, but also on the development of the brain and mental activity.

AbstractThis paper concentrates on the vibrations attenuation of a rotor driven by a DC motor and its frame flexibly coupled with a baseplate by linear cylindrical helical springs and damped by an element that can work either in inertia or impact regime. The system oscillation is governed by three mutually coupled second-order ordinary differential equations. The nonlinear behaviour occurs if the impact regime is adjusted. The damping element operating in inertia mode reduces efficiently the oscillations amplitude only in a narrow frequency interval. In contrast, the damping device working in impact regime attenuates vibrations of the rotor frame in a wider range of the excitation frequencies and it can be easily extended if the clearances between the rotor casing and the damping element are controlled. The development of a computational procedure for investigation of vibration of a flexibly supported rotor and for its attenuation by the inertia and impact dampers; learning more on efficiency of the individual damping regimes; finding possibilities of extension of the frequency intervals of applicability of the damping device; and obtaining more information on the character of the vibration induced by impacts are the main contributions of this research work.

Additional opinions—that is, dissenting opinions, separate opinions, and declarations—are, by definition, the primary institutional mechanism through which judges can express their individual views on a particular decision, as distinct from the judgment or decision proclaimed on behalf of the institution. Therefore, within the public sphere they are the principal institutional manifestation of the individual—and thus the individuality—of the judge. Consequently, for those who seek to understand the impact of certain personal characteristics upon how a judge discharges their professional functions and, in turn, the wider institutional and systemic implications of the participation of individuals bearing those characteristics, the study of additional opinions would seem a useful analytical enterprise. Using gender diversity at the International Court of Justice as a case study, the purpose of this chapter is twofold: first, to explain the relationship between diversity and additional opinions, and second, to explore the methodological potential, and challenges, that the study of additional opinions entails.

AbstractPolitical economy comparisons of Kenya and Tanzania have often found the political salience of ethnicity to be far higher in the former than the latter, with a negative impact on intercommunal trust. This difference has tended to be explained on the basis of the different kinds of leadership that the two countries experienced after independence. However, these findings have typically been demonstrated using aggregate or survey data. This paper assesses the salience of ethnicity at the individual level for the first time, deploying monetized two-round trust games in urban Kenya and Tanzania. The experimental games isolate the comparative impact of common knowledge of ethnicity and integrity among a quasi-random selection of 486 citizens. Verifying previous findings, we observe higher levels of trust and trustworthiness in Tanzania as compared with Kenya. Further, in comparison with Kenya, any shared knowledge of ethnic identities in Tanzania leads players to transfer fewer resources, while common knowledge that both players are “honest” led to higher transfers there than in Kenya. These results provide robust evidence of higher levels of trust in Tanzania, and of the negative effect in that country of common knowledge of ethnicity on levels of cooperation. The findings demonstrate the way in which political context can shape the impact of ethnic diversity, and encourage further experimental research that looks at the intersubjective dynamics of social cooperation.

This two-part paper deals with the influence of high-pressure turbine (HPT) purge flows on the aerodynamic performance of turbine center frames (TCF). Measurements were carried out in a product-representative one and a half-stage turbine test setup. Four individual purge mass flows differing in flow rate, pressure, and temperature were injected through the hub and tip, forward and aft cavities of the unshrouded HPT rotor. Two TCF designs, equipped with nonturning struts, were tested and compared. In this first part of the paper, the influence of different purge flow rates (PFR) is discussed, while in the second part of the paper, the impact of the individual hub and tip purge flows on the TCF aerodynamics is investigated. The acquired measurement data illustrate that the interaction of the ejected purge flow with the main flow enhances the secondary flow structures through the TCF duct. Depending on the PFR, the radial migration of purge air onto the strut surfaces directly impacts the loss behavior of the duct. The losses associated with the flow close to the struts and in the strut wakes are highly dependent on the relative position between the HPT vane and the strut leading edge (LE), as well as the interaction between vane wake and ejected purge flow. This first-time experimental assessment demonstrates that a reduction in the purge air requirement benefits the engine system performance by lowering the TCF total pressure loss.


The article is devoted to the current issue of sexuality. Significant expansion and development of psychologists’ professional activity necessitate creating of generalized classification of individuals and married couples’ behavioral erotic types. The destruction of self-reflection, self-perception and the difficulty of interpersonal understanding are due to the substitution of concepts. The study of sexual-psychological characteristics of behavioral patterns of women in erotic relationships is very important in this regard. The new material on the topic under study is generalized. Erotic imagination functions and erotic images impact on the process of forming a fixed erotic Image of a sexual partner in women are determined. The impact of early life experience (imprinting) influenced on the individual erotic code formation is determined. Several motivational schemes of sexual behavior are described. Authors submit the definition of «individual erotic code» for the first time. «Individual erotic code» is found out as the unified recording system of the individual model erotic behavior and her «ideal partner» reactions on this behavior. The types of women individual erotic code, based on the concept of archetypes (K.G. Jung, D. S. Bolen) study are defined. Types of individual erotic code were named after the ancient Greek goddesses: Artemis, Athena, Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Persephone, Aphrodite. The attention is focused on the deep analysis of individual women erotic code stages realization, such as, the genesis of erotic impulse, the tempting process, the sexual act behavior, the pregnancy, the caring of posterity. Materials of research can be used in the practical work of psychologists and psychotherapists which working both with married couples, as well as in individual work with the client.

Difficulties in finding mates may have broad consequences for well-being. Previous studies often assume that only personal characteristics or competition limits mating success without considering the impact of the social context. We developed and evaluated a questionnaire for measuring context-dependent mate access by surveying 528 Finnish adults. We found support for our hypothesized two-factor structure divided into preferred encounters (i.e., the amount of interactions the individual has with potential mates) and perceived possibilities (i.e., the individual’s perception of their mating opportunities). We also investigated the relationship between these factors and respondents’ social context, negative affect regarding poor mate access, mate value, and sociosexual desire. Individuals in more sociable contexts reported higher mate access, and individuals with less perceived possibilities reported more negative affect. Theoretical associations with mate value and sociosexual desire were supported. The current scale can be used along existing measures to study human mating and its psycho-behavioral correlates.

Постановка задачи. Работа посвящена изучению оценочных характеристик отзыва научного руководителя, функционирующего в рамках академического дискурса. Впервые выявляются оценочные стратегии и тактики научного руководителя, вербализованные в отзыве при характеризации научно-исследовательской работы магистранта и бакалавра. Результаты. Как показало исследование, посредством оценочных значений, которые выстраивают отзыв о работе выпускника над выпускной квалификационной работой, научные руководители положительно характеризуют исследовательские навыки студентов. Отрицательные оценочные значения не вербализуются, но имплицируются в рекомендациях уделять внимание в дальнейшей работе, например, более планомерной организации исследования. Наиболее универсальной и распространённой характеристикой работы студента является формулировка академический дискурс сформирован , которая включает в себя все положительные оценочные значения, релевантные для научно-исследовательской деятельности в рамках академического дискурса. Во всех структурных элементах отзыва научные руководители прибегают к использованию оценочных значений. В наименьшей степени оценочные значения представлены в разделе Умение работать с научной, методической, справочной литературой и электронными информационными ресурсами. Выводы. Отзыв научного руководителя как жанр академического дискурса представляет собой амальгаму оценочных средств, с помощью которых научный руководитель эксплицирует, а в некоторых случаях и имплицирует своё отношение к проделанной студентом работе. В качестве объекта оценки служат те аспекты научно-исследовательской деятельности, которые выделены как структурные элементы отзыва, а также дополнительные объекты, которые научный руководитель считает необходимым выделить. В ходе исследования были выделены оценочные стратегии импликации, интенсификации, рекомендации и констатации. Problem Statement. The paper focuses on evaluative characteristics of research advisors’ reviews functioning in the framework of academic discourse. Evaluative strategies and tactics have been revealed for the first time as a part of a research advisor’s review. Results. The research has shown that research advisors characterize positively various aspects of graduate students’ research papers and the way they organized their research work. Negative evaluations are not verbalized, but teachers implicitly mention that their students should organize their work more thoroughly in the future. The fact that academic discourse has been acquired by the student to the full extent serves as a positive characteristic of their work, and, therefore, includes all the evaluations relevant for doing a research and for research results. In all the structural elements of the reviews research advisors use a variety of evaluative means. The latter are represented to a lesser extent in the structural element concerning the Ability of a student to retrieve information and to use a variety of information resources. Conclusion. Research advisor’s review as a genre of academic discourse is an amalgam of evaluative means which enable the research advisor to explicitly verbalize his attitude towards a student research work. Evaluative means characterize those aspects of research work which are specified in the body of the review as structural elements. Moreover, teachers specifies work ethic, ethical behavior, personal characteristics that are crucial for the research work. The research has revealed evaluative strategies of intensification, recommendation, stating and implication.

The article analyzes the chamber-instrumental work of Jalal Abbasov, a brilliant representative of the modern Azerbaijani school of composition, in particular, ‘Munajat-I’. It also looks at the work of Jalal Abbasov against the background of the development of Azerbaijani music culture and explores the genre diversity of chamber-instrumental works. In addition, the study highlights the form and content, music, and harmonic language in the composer’s chamber-instrumental works, especially in the work ‘Munajat-I’. The article emphasizes the peculiar stylistic features of Jalal Abbasov’s chamber-instrumental work, its connection with musical folklore, and its tendency to modernity based on traditions. The purpose of the research is to analyze the work of Jalal Abbasov ‘Munajat’ and to study the individual stylistic features of the composer. The main features are the emergence of the characteristic features of the composer’s chamber-instrumental work and its special importance in the development of modern Azerbaijani musical culture. The basis of the research is the involvement of J. Abbasov, a worthy representative of the modern generation of Azerbaijani composers, in the detailed research work of the work ‘Munajat-I’, which has not been subjected to scientific and theoretical analysis. From this point of view, the research is based on the method of complex theoretical analysis. The research methodology is based on music-analytical, theoretical, and historical analysis. It was noted that the composer’s personal style has improved in the process of development, modern innovative ideas, modern technical methods have been used uniquely in the diversity of genres. At the same time, based on the scientific-theoretical principles and research of Azerbaijani musicologists, the article forms the methodological basis. The scientific novelty of the research is that the article, presented for the first time as special research work, is based on manuscripts dedicated to the chamber-instrumental work of the representative of the modern school of the composition of Azerbaijan J. Abbasov and the features of ‘Munajat-I’. For the first time in the presented article, the work "Munajat", which is important in the work of J. Abbasov, but has not been studied so far, has been scientifically analyzed. Conclusions. The comprehensive analysis of Jalal Abbasov’s chamber-instrumental work, especially ‘Munajat-I’ in the presented article, allows us to draw important conclusions about the features of the composer’s personal style. An important feature of the composer's chamber-instrumental works, distinguished by their original creative style, is the richness and deep content of the musical language. It was noted that J. Abbasov, who organically combined nationalism and modernity in his works, expressed his deep philosophical thoughts with high demand and seriousness. From this point of view, the elements of national music in the composer’s works with a bright content and individual style are expressed by the features of modern writing techniques. It was noted that the philosophical, rich imagery, deep meaning, and thoughtful thoughts characteristic of the composer’s work are reflected in his chamber-instrumental works, including ‘Munajat-I’. That is why the works of J. Abbasov have been successfully performed not only in his native Azerbaijan but also in many foreign countries and have successfully represented our modern school of composition. Jalal Abbasov is currently living in the period of the wisdom of his work, enriching Azerbaijani music by creating new modern works.

The article made the attempt to systematize foreign and domestic research experiences on quantitative measurement of quality performance indicators work-migration processes. In particular, it analyses the possibility of harmonization of statistical accounting of labor migration, carried out by separate departmental systems to gather broad demographic information. As well as the features of the specialized and general sample surveys of the labour movement in the countries of ES and the post-soviet states. On the basis of the analysis of the necessity of the integration of economic, demographic and sociological approaches for full-scale analysis of the labour migration situation in the labour market. It is proved that sociological research work-migration processes more flexible, in comparison with the economic. And their use will allow to consider the impact on the adoption of the individual decisions on the labour movement of the whole complex of modern trends of development of society and economy. It is proposed to supplement recommendations A. Vorobyov, A. Grebenyuk, A. Topilin regarding the definition of the range of respondents, and social indicators included in the Toolkit of sample surveys of labour migration. The implementation of such methodological innovations will allow to solve the question of forecasting the dynamics work-migration processes.
