Background. The question of a comprehensive assessment of certain musicians’ work has both artistic and aesthetic, sociocultural, and ethical projections associated with the evaluation of the creativity and activity of the musician both during their lifetime and after their passing. This issue also continues to be acutely relevant in the area of studying and shaping the scope of cultural knowledge about traditions and innovations in all spheres of musical art, about the role of an individual in the historical and cultural process both in the national and in the civilizational, globalizational aspects. Another important aspect is the study of one’s own cultural traditions and achievements (at the national, regional and other levels.), which makes it possible to reveal something universal and particular in all areas of musical practice (composition, performance, teaching, etc.) and give them an objective assessment. In this connection, musicians – our contemporaries, whose achievements are diverse and very significant in the musical field and whose versatile contribution to the development of musical art cannot be overestimated, – need special public and scientific attention. One of such outstanding figures of modern Ukraine is Valerii Bohdanov (13/07/1939–10/10/2017), a trumpet performer, conductor, teacher, musicologist, who devoted his whole life to music art in its various manifestations, achieved the highest results in all spheres of activity and went down in the history of Ukrainian musical art as one of the rare examples of a universal musician. His performance, conducting, pedagogical, and research activities in the field of wind instruments performance are so significant that they require a complex study, which as yet does not exist, and this paper seems to be one of the first steps on this path. Objectives. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the life and career of the outstanding musician Valerii Bohdanov from the viewpoint of his contribution to the study of the history of wind performance in Ukraine. Methods. This paper employs a complex of several research methods related to the statement of the theme and its specificity: historical method, which allowed considering facts from life and work of V. Bohdanov in relation to the peculiarities of historical conditions of the time; historical and cultural method, thanks to which one can take into account the general context of music art, in particular, events and phenomena of musical practice within certain conditions of national culture, traditions and possibilities, specified amongst others at the ideological level; biographical method of research, due to which different periods of the musician’s creativity, directions of his activity, as well as their prerequisites, development paths and results are described; comparative method, associated with the comparative characteristics of stages and tendencies of Valerii Bohdanov’s work in different periods of his life; phenomenological method, featuring characteristics of unique interaction of various facets of the universal musician – the artist of music art. Results. The versatile activity of V. Bohdanov, a prominent musician, performer, conductor, teacher, researcher of the history of wind art in Ukraine, is distinguished by a special degree of interrelation of these spheres, which indicates the special quality of the universalism of Valerii Oleksandrovych’s personality as a phenomenon. According to the outlined and characterized areas of the musician’s activity all his achievements are determined, firstly, by the peculiarities of different periods of his life and career, historical circumstances and certain artistic experience, and secondly, by his personal qualities. The research and pedagogical activity of V. Bohdanov is one of the peaks of his multifaceted activity and the embodiment of the true mission, which combined the talent and experience of the practising musician, performer and conductor with pedagogical, scientific and educational work to the extent that allows speaking about a special status of a universal musician – a worker of musical art. An individual feature of V. Bohdanov’s universalism is that, being a practising musician, performer and conductor, he achieved the highest results in the scientific field, made an invaluable contribution to the study of the history of wind performance in Ukraine. Conclusions. The research findings indicate that Valerii Bohdanov’s activity is distinguished by the diversity and special status of universalism; its various facets are not just interconnected, they are interdependent and, thanks to a complex of personality characteristics, have become the basis for the outstanding result that was achieved by the musician. At the same time, the scientific side of Valerii Bohdanov’s work, dedicated to the history of wind instrument performance in Ukraine, has become a kind of pinnacle of his creative and life journey. Based on the aforesaid, we believe that the results of the presented research can be used in further scientific research related to such issues as: the study of Valerii Bohdanov’s research, performance, conducting, and pedagogical activities, as well as the work of other musicians, representatives of the wind music art of Ukraine; the characteristic of wind instruments performance schools; the search for answers to the questions faced by modern wind instruments performance, in particular, in the context of tradition and innovation, organology, genre-stylistics, repertoire, etc.

Test Control

The possibilities of using test tasks of various forms for the current control of the objective assessment of students knowledge of historical geology have been clarified. Brief information about the essence of pedagogical control and tests has been given. The value of control maps for the analysis and statistical processing of test results has been considered. The effectiveness of the test verification system for the organization of self-control over the course of assimilation and consolidation of the acquired knowledge, as well as the implementation of self-management training activities of students, has been proved. It has been concluded that the educational material that affects the history of the Earth in the Precambrian is the most difficult (10,0% of the correct answers), as well as the various aspects of the evolution of the organic world (10,1%), and alsothe information about minerals (11,5%). Students showed the best knowledge in the field of stratigraphic division of the studied intervals of geological history of the Earth (50,4%), features of the Paleozoic stage (42,4%) and various historical aspects (37,3%). It has been established that the maximal difficulties, regardless of the content, cause the tasks requiring systematic knowledge for compliance (9,4%). A small positive dynamics of students performance indicators has been revealed in the study of the material relating to different ages and different types of tectonic structures, as well as in the work with tests to establish compliance. It has been proved that the test control system makes it possible to make more systematic and effective conduct of classes, organize a self-control over the course for mastering individual topics and adjust the lecture material to improve the efficiency of training. Data on the results of the test control of educational work should be fully used for timely adjustment of educational trajectories of students at all stages of training in historical geology. They will be necessary for the development of initiatives in mastering the future profession, creative abilities, the ability to plan and predict the results of their independent actions and to solve non-standard tasks.

Linguistic Methods

The Comparative Method in historical linguistics distinguishes resemblances among languages due to vertical transmission from those due to horizontal transmission, and from resemblances due to non-historical factors like chance. Alternative phylogenetic methods that seek long-range connections among languages have not been shown to consistently detect this distinction. Derived from the Comparative Method are the study of language contact and areal connections, lexicostatistical dating methods and linguistic-paleontological methods for reconstructing cultural knowledge. Methodological debates in historical linguistics, and application of these methods to cases in the linguistic history of the Southwest, are reviewed, suggesting that, in spite of the paucity of available data for many languages, historical linguistic methods have an important role to play in developing hypotheses about Southwestern prehistory.

The Relationship

Today, knowledge concerning the relationship between temperature and musical pitch shapes many dimensions of Western musical practice, from the ambient conditions of performance sites to the design of musical instruments, and performers’ routines and techniques. But the history of how temperature came to play such a defining role in musical cultures remains unexamined. This article lays the foundations for such work by approaching musical instruments as sites of negotiation between acousticians, instrument makers, and players on the one hand, and music's variegated environments on the other. First, the article shows that the conceptualization of pitch in relation to temperature was a by-product of nineteenth-century international negotiations over musical standardization. These debates reveal that, while assessing the relation between pitch and temperature may seem like a decisive step toward the regulation of musical frequencies, in fact it was the source of countless epistemological and sociopolitical problems. Next, the article turns to David J. Blaikley, a British maker of wind instruments, whose experiments on the influence of extreme temperature variations on army-band instruments revealed the limits of Western attempts to control sound on a global scale, including in colonial contexts. Finally, I trace the implications of this new awareness of the interplay between sound and the environment to expose the silent ways in which that awareness continued to inform Western musical practice into the 1940s and beyond.

The article reviews O. A. Shashkova’s ‘... Call the Mute Artifacts to Speech.’ Essays on the History of Archaeography of the 15th - Early 20th Century. Wide array of sources and broad geographical frameworks allow Shashkova to present emergence and development of Russian and European archaeography from the 15th to early 20th century intelligibly enough for educational purposes. A whole chapter is devoted to the manuscript tradition and publishing of sources before Gutenberg. When considering the formation of archaeographical tradition, the author uses comparative method. O. A. Shashkova offers a historical overview and analyzes theoretical and practical issues of archaeography. The reviewer notes the significance of the chosen topic due to a need to reconsider the development of publishing in light of modern views on archaeography and to make it accessible to students and non-professionals. She notes traditional academic approach of O. A. Shashkova to presentation of the development publication practices. The review considers the possibility of using the ‘Essays...’ in studying the history of archaeography and offers possible directions for a broader consideration of historical experience, in particular, of Novikov’s publication projects. The review notes the controversial nature of the author’s approach to systematization of her large historical material in order to consider issues concerning the study of archaeographical practices. It stresses that coverage of issues of development of methods of preparation of publications separately from its historical and practical aspects hinders successful mastering of the material by an untrained reader. It concludes that the publication has high practical value for specialists in archaeography and students.

Ritual Context

This chapter argue that ritual behaviours might be just as good a source as literary texts for the diffusion of traditional cursing and treaty material across different cultures in the ancient Near East. In particular, the role of ad hoc oral Targum in the ritual process could have been an important means by which traditions were shared between different language communities. Recognition of the ritual context of this material also provides insights for the comparative method, the dating and authorship of Deuteronomy 28, and the subversive impetus thought to have stood behind its composition. Ultimately, the function of the written word in a largely oral world is shown to be fundamental to understanding the composition, function and the early history of the curses in the book of Deuteronomy.

AbstractThis paper concerns the relationship between research and governance policy in three Swedish major development projects in mathematics education: the New Math project (1960–1975), the PUMP project (1970–1980), and the Boost for Mathematics project in (2012–2016). All three projects were driven or financed by the Swedish central school authorities. Using a historical comparative method, this study deepens the understanding of how research co-exists with governance policy when preparing innovations in mathematics education. The main historical sources are official reports and governmental decisions concerning the three projects. The analysis is focused on the nature of the innovations of each project and the role of researchers in the process of creating the innovations. The analysis highlights the theories and the methods involved in those processes. The three projects are also positioned in a context of school governance policy. In Sweden, the prevailing school governing policy changed from a highly centralised governance in the 1960s to a highly decentralised governance in the 2010s. The paper concludes by discussing to what degree the researchers adhered to principles of research or school governance; in particular, the Boost for Mathematics project is considered in this regard. The relevance of the paper in relation to the emerging field of implementation research in mathematics education concerns how historical studies can give new insights about contemporary development projects in mathematics education.

An important aspect of ethical conduct of field research is for the researcher to have an appropriate relationship with the legitimate gatekeepers of the field site. This paper describes our experiences of obtaining approval from regulatory authorities in Thailand for field research on Burmese migrants, and discusses the nature and rationale of such government control in Asia and Western countries. It is intended to guide future humanitarian researchers who are planning to study oppressed groups at politically sensitive research sites where regulatory authorities monitor both research sites and research performance. Thailand, like several other Southeast Asian countries, operates a permit system for foreign researchers. This permit system is designed to promote research activities in Thailand so that the results can be used to further the country's development, and to enhance the cooperation and collaboration between Thai and foreign researchers providing opportunities for the exchange of knowledge, technical expertise, and experience. This control of foreign researchers is not prohibitive; foreign humanitarian researchers can organize research and advance the welfare of targeted oppressed populations in cooperation with government agencies.

The study is devoted to the analysis of research texts of the historiographic development of the history of entrepreneurship in pre-revolutionary Siberia. Modern historiography has accumulated a great deal of factual material. Historians have published monographs, thematic collections, articles, abstracts, reviews, reports, bibliographic indexes, encyclopedias and reference pub-lications, the councils defend candidate and doctoral dissertations on various problems in this area. The genre variety of scientific literature about business people reflects a broad professional and public interest in trade and other business activities and contributes to the coordination of research activities. Domestic historiography of the history of merchants and entrepreneurship in Siberia is represented by a significant number of works by historians of the region. The purpose of the study is to analyze the research text as a form of organizing speech material in the scientific discourse of studying the history of entrepreneurship in Siberia in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. We use the methods of historical research, based on the analysis and generalization of research by other researchers, with the application of the principle of historicism, which made it possible to apply the historical-logical, historical-systemic methods. The region-oriented approach made it possible to study more fully the features of scientific texts in the historiography of the history of entrepreneurship in Siberia. The research results are as follows: scientific historical discourse is characterized by a certain set of norms, stereotypes of thinking and behavior; scientific communication plays a significant role in the life of society; genres act as a means of organizing and formalizing interaction in the scientific community; text as a form of organizing speech material in scientific discourse is characterized by the originality and recognizability of style, compositional structure.
