Statement of the problem. The twentieth century marked an increased interest in polyphonic music. The geography of polyphonic works for piano expanded significantly and a creative development of many Chinese composers, writing polyphonic piano pieces, took place. Today, polyphonic pieces make up a significant part of the piano repertoire in China, but they are little studied by musicologists and performers. The objective of this study – to reveal the contribution of Chinese composers to the creation of polyphonic piano repertoire of the XX – early XXI century. Analysis of the research and publications on the theme. А large number of modern authors study polyphony from the point of physical and mathematical research methods (Igarashi, Yu. & Ito, Masashi & Ito, Akinori, 2013; Weiwei, Zhang & Zhe, Chen, & Fuliang, Yin, 2016; Li, Xiaoquan et al. others, 2018). This approach does not reveal the factual musical component of polyphonic genres. In the 20th century, musicologists explored polyphony in musical folklore (Wiant, 1936; Fan Zuyin, 2004; Li Hong, 2015) and in professional Chinese composing (Sun Wei-bo, 2006, Winzenburg, 2018). The scientific novelty. This article studies the role of Chinese composers in the development of the world polyphonic piano repertoire of the XX – early XXI century. The methodological basis for the analysis of polyphonic works was the theoretical concepts of P. Hindemith, Peng Cheng, Fang Zuin, Li Hong, Sun Wei-bo. The results of the study. The research outcomes demonstrate the evolutionary development of the genre diversity of Chinese piano polyphony as well as those composers who created magnificent musical pieces. Conclusions. Chinese composers have fully mastered the art of modern counterpoint, represented by the genres of polyphonic program pieces (He Lu Ting), invention (Xiao Shu Xian, Du Qian, Sun Yun Yin, Chen Chen Quang), polyphonic suite (Ma Gui), large polyphonic cycle ( He Shao, Chen Hua Do, Xiao Shu Xian), fugue (Li Jun Yong, Yu Su Yan, Chen Gang, Tian Lei Lei, Duan Ping Tai, Zheng Zhong, Xiao Shu Xian) and small cycle “Prelude and Fugue” (Ding Shan Te, Chen Zhi Ming, Wang Li Shan). Creatively assimilating and rethinking the experience of Western polyphonists, Chinese composers have filled their polyphonic works with national features, firmly linking them with the origins of Chinese traditional and folk music. The polyphonic way of transmitting musical material becomes the most expressive at the moments of profound creativity and musical dramatization.

Writing is very important for human society. This is the highest indicator of cultural development. Writing provides linguistic communication between people. For many centuries man has been using writing to communicate with each other. It helps to connect people who are from each other both at close and at a great distance. The article examines the problem of the origin of writing in the history of mankind, the history of the formation and development of the known types of writing, as well as its social role (functions). The article reveals the issues of the process of improving writing: its meaning in the development of society, the main stages of its formation. The letter has a long and complex history of its development, which covers a period of several thousand years. Therefore, the article determines the place of pictographic, ideographic, syllabic and letter psychology in meeting social needs. of its time. The writing of the peoples of the world has developed along different paths, the writing of each language of the world has its own characteristics that distinguish it from all other types of written speech. The article covers in detail such issues as the approximate time of the origin of writing, the causes and foundations of its occurrence, i.e. the factors that influenced its emergence, as well as the first users of writing, the form of the first writing, its evolutionary development over time, existing today types and signs of writing. The issues of the alphabet that caused the origin of writing (writing), the first sounds and types of Phoenician writing, its improvement, Greek and Aramaic writing, which caused the origin of the alphabet of the countries of the West and the East, problems of the science of descriptiveness — the problem of graphics, spelling, transcription and transliteration are considered.

The article analyzes a semantic meaning of the term "sustainable development" followed by its proper interpretation. It has been determined that in recent years, the number of natural and man-made disasters has increased rapidly due to the processes of technogenic environment expansion, the active growth of our planet population and large-scale urbanization. It is established that in recent decades the number of major man-made disasters consistently exceeds the number of natural ones. In the structure of man-made disasters (among industrial, transport and mixed), the largest number of victims and material damage were induced by industrial disasters. Definition of the main principle of sustainable development was interpreted. It is concluded that trends of the modern human development model directly contradict the above principle. The known studies were reviewed concerning directions of the humanity’s sustainable development concept realization globally and in Ukraine, as well as to the role of labor protection and industrial safety within the above process. The evolutionary development of labor protection has been provided as a science from ancient times to the present, as well as the contribution of great scientists to the development of labor protection and industrial safety. Modern trends of professional risks and man-made hazards in Ukraine, in particular, in the flour grinding industry and the world are analyzed. Based on the analysis, it was determined that currently a particular danger is the comprehensive application (availability, trafficking) of chemicals in all without exception workplaces feed mills, grain mills, flour mills and other enterprises of our country, as well as the large-scale use of pesticides of the first and second class of hazard. Another concern is the fact that modern personal protective equipment is not able to protect people from fine particles of chemicals (size 1 – 100 nanometers (nm), widely applied in modern industries thanks to the comprehensive use of nanotechnology in the world. It has been established that 4.4% of world stocks of unsuitable for use pesticides are accumulated in the territory of Ukraine. An increase in the number of chemicals in the air of the working area during the technological processes at the enterprises of the flour-grinding industry has caused 86% of all deaths associated with professional human activities. The leading role of labor protection as a necessary element of ensuring the implementation of the sustainable development concept in the world is indicated. Main modern problems of labor protection development as a science in Ukraine are defined and promising ways of their solution are offered.

Academic Inequality

The article deals with the study of academic inequality in the context of globalization. The prerequisites for the appearance of modern forms of inequality in education and science are considered. The aspect of the declarativity of official educational discourse is analyzed. It is reflected in the contradiction between articulated priorities and reality. In addition, it is noted that the official educational discourse is inherent in an apologetic reflection of the topics of rankings, which is displayed in attempts to naturalize them. The heuristic potential of the world-system approach is characterized in the framework of the study of the problems of academic capitalism. An analysis of the key concepts of the concepts of F. Braudel, I. Wallerstein and A. G. Frank is carried out, and a substantiation of their applicability for studying the relations of inequality in the sphere of education is given. The main theoretical concepts of "uneven" development of territories are considered, a comparative analysis of concepts is carried out and the author's scheme based on the synthesis of concepts of the world of system analysis and capital analysis by P. Bourdieu is proposed. The author's definitions of the concepts “academic inequality”, “construction of inequalities” and “academic capitalism” are provided. The role of university rankings in the processes of constructing academic inequality is analyzed. The interrelation of the commodification processes in education and science with globalization processes is grounded. The specific features of constructing academic inequality in modern conditions are revealed. The conclusion about the dual structure of academic inequality is formulated. Further prospects for the development of the topic in the context of studying the transformation of the institute of education are indicated.

There is a number of human rituals that are accompanied by sacrifices of food and drinks. Ritual practices of different people are a huge resource of these habits that are found all over the world. This research paper will focus on the role of instrumental music in guiding these sacrifices among selected communities inhabiting Southeast Asia’s mainland. Through a multi-perspective observation this research aims at showing order principles, musical requirements, and their variability, which will be analysed and discussed. Long term field work and participant observation over a specific period of time are the basic preconditions for this research. In addition, this research is also to question basic principles of conveying research outcomes and the use of well-established research tools in order to categorize and identify types of musical and ritual behaviour. The perspective of food offerings may shift the focus from musicality within rituals to the focus on social digestion in the context of sustaining communities.

PurposeThe university research environment, the broader context where academics produce research, is changing rapidly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study looks at the role of the research environment and organisational learning mechanisms with respect to the capacity of accounting academics to achieve research outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical concepts of research environment and organisational learning mechanisms are used as a basis for analysing documentary and qualitative interview evidence. Interviews were conducted with accounting academics and higher degrees research accounting students based at Australian universities.FindingsA key finding is that COVID-19 restrictions are affecting the capacity of accounting academics to conduct research. The restrictions are affecting meaningful interactions and engagement amongst accounting academics which are essential in maintaining and developing networks, research dialogue and debate, and research culture. Significant and deliberate efforts and innovation are required in attempts to replicate traditional face-to-face engagement and interaction benefits in online settings.Originality/valueThe study explains how and why the research environment and organisational learning mechanisms are changing as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions. In doing so, it highlights the implications on the capacity of accounting academics to achieve research outcomes.

This paper furthers the discussion that intersects the works of Paulo Freire and Nicolas Roubakine, within the sphere of the epistemology of Information Science, on the role of reading as a tool for acquiring knowledge and developing critical awareness. The theoretical concepts employed in this research are founded on Roubakine's approach to reading, who saw it as a means to socialize knowledge among socially oppressed groups, and complemented by the perception that reading involves reading the world itself. Ultimately, the knowledge acquired through these reading experiences could be used to increase readers' awareness of their environments and create opportunities to resist and oppose the inequalities that are perpetuated in current information regimes.

Role Of Religion

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "

The paper is devoted to the role of the global financial market in the development of Russian big business. It proves that terms and standards posed by this market as well as opportunities it offers determine major changes in Russian big business in the last three years. The article examines why Russian companies go abroad to attract capital and provides data, which indicate the scope of this phenomenon. It stresses the effects of Russian big business’s interaction with the world capital market, including the modification of the principal subject of Russian big business from integrated business groups to companies and the changes in companies’ behavior: they gradually move away from the so-called Russian specifics and adopt global standards.
