This article analyzes the intermezzo by J. Brahms Op. 119 No.3 for determining the nonclassical trends within the structure of musical fabric and form-making principles in this composition. The research employs the method of holistic analysis, which implies examination of the peculiarities of harmony, texture uniqueness, thematic processes, and formative patterns in the intermezzo by J. Brahms Op. 119 No.3; the elements of comparative analysis (juxtaposition of the form-making principles in this composition and classical works, as well as of interpretation of the reprise of the three-part form in the intermezzo by Brahms Op. 119 No.3 and Nocturne by Chopin Op. 48 №1). The scientific novelty lies in revealing the nonclassical trends in the music of J. Brahms, namely homogeneity of the sound fabric, low degree of differentiation of relief and background in the texture, absence of the common forms of sound and passive fragments in musical form. The author determines the conceptual proximity of Brahms' principles of working with musical material with the method of interfusion of the object and space that gained popularity in painting of the early XX century. The acquired results allow concluding that in the intermezzo Op. 119 No.3, J. Brahms implements a number of nonclassical principles of working with musical material, which anticipate the discoveries of the composers of the Second Viennese School (in particular, Webern). The presented materials can be valuable for further study of the compositions of J. Brahms, various theoretical aspects of music of the turn of the XIX –XX centuries, as well as performance and pedagogical practice.

Students' Independent Professional Activity in Pedagogical PracticeThe topicality of the research is determined by the need for changes in higher education concerned with implementing the principles of sustainable education. The article focuses on teacher training, highlighting the teacher's profession as an attractive choice of one's career that permits to ensure the development of general and professional skills and an opportunity for new specialists to align with the labour market. The empirical study of students' understanding of their professional activity and of the conditions for its formation is conducted by applying structured interviews (of practice supervisors, students, academic staff); students and experts' questionnaire. Comparative analysis of quantitative and qualitative data and triangulation were used in case studies. As a result, a framework of pedagogical practice organisation has been created in order to form students' independent professional activity. The criteria and indicators of independent professional activity have been formulated and suggestions for designers of study programmes and organisers of the study process have been provided.

This paper explores the comparative analysis of the financial controlling, who is a result from the common controlling concept and the financial management. In the specialized literature, financial controlling is seen as an innovative approach to financial management. It is often presented as the most promising instrument of financial diagnostics. Generally speaking, financial controlling is seen as a process of managing the company`s assets which are valued in monetary measures. The difference between the financial management and the financial controlling is that the second covers all functions of management, analysis and control of finances, aiming at maximizing their effective use and increasing the value of the enterprise. Financial controlling is often seen as a function of the common practice of financial management. Its objective is to preserve the financial stability and financial sustainability of enterprises operating in a highly aggressive business environment.

Внедрение стандартов цифровой радиосвязи в гражданской авиации происходит практически без взаимодействия с международными организациями по стандартизации в области телекоммуникаций. При этом цифровая связь используется в первую очередь для обеспечения безопасности полетов воздушных судов. По радиоканалу в вещательном режиме каждое воздушное судно передает информацию о своем местоположении, обеспечивая таким образом ситуационную осведомленность экипажей других судов и диспетчеров. Поскольку число пассажирских и грузовых судов растет, а кроме того, в последнее время многократно возросло число беспилотных судов,которые должны быть интегрированы в общее воздушное пространство, то назрела необходимость рассмотреть существующие стандарты цифровой авиационной связи и провести сравнительный анализ их параметров. В данной работе выполнен сравнительный анализ физического и канального уровней стандартов VDL mode 4 и 090ES,а также представлены критерии качества передачи данных с помощью технологии автоматического зависимого наблюдения-вещания. Сравнение проведено по результатам моделирования работы стандартов в условиях высокой загруженности воздушного пространства. Digital communication standards implementation in civil aviation is now performed practically without collaboration with international telecommunications standardization organizations. At the same time, digital communication is primarily intended to ensure the safety of aircraft flights. Each aircraft transmits its position report messages over a radio communication channel in a broadcast mode, thus providing situational awareness for other aircrafts and the air traffic control staff. Since the number of passenger and cargo aircrafts grows, and in addition, the number of unmanned aircraft that must be integrated into the common airspace has recently multiplied, it is time to consider the existing digital aviation communication standards and perform a comparative analysis of their parameters. In the article, a comparative analysis of the physical and link levels of the VDL mode 4 and 1090ES standards was carried out. The ADS-B data transfer quality evaluation criteria are proposed. The VDL mode 4 and 1090ES standards modeling results in conditions of high airspace congestion are compared.

A genetic study of the neotropical river otter Lontra longicaudis (Olfers, 1818), which has an unknown conservation status, was carried out at the Taim Ecological Station and the margins of the Vargas stream, Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. Faecal samples were collected, and DNA was extracted using a silica-guanidine method. Five microsatellite loci were amplified using PCR with heterologous primers previously described for Lutra lutra (Linnaeus, 1758). Sixteen faecal samples out of 29 from Taim and 11 out of 14 from Vargas stream margins contained enough DNA for genetic analysis. A total of 49 different alleles were found at both localities, from which 18 were exclusively found in individuals from Taim and 17 were exclusives from Vargas individuals. The most common allele was the same at both locations for three loci (Lut715, Lut733, and Lut818). A high level of genetic diversity was found at both sites (NeTaim=4.1, HoTaim=0.299, HeTaim=0.681; NeVargas=4.9, HoVargas=0.355, HeVargas=0.724), being higher at the Vargas stream site. A high and significant level of heterozygote deficiency was observed at most loci according to the χ2 test. The homogeneity χ2 test (P<0.001) showed that there were significant differences in the allele frequencies between the two locations. Genotyping for more than one locus was possible in 81.5% of samples, from which only 37% were possible to genotype for more than three loci. A low degree of relatedness was found among individuals from Taim (R=0.055±0.310), but an even lower value of relatedness was found at the Vargas site (R= -0.285±0.440). The significant degree of differentiation (I=0.890; F ST=0.059) found between Taim and Vargas individuals suggests that there is more than one population of otters in the southern extreme of Brazil, which probably are associated with the water body systems found in this region, the Mirim and the Caiuvá/Flores/Mangueira Lagoons. The high genetic diversity and low relatedness found at the Vargas stream, lead us to believe that the Vargas stream may be acting as a corridor between these water bodies for otter dispersion.

The realization that the directors occupy important position in corporate governance, and as business men and women, cannot be prevented from having dealings with the company, demand a close scrutiny of corporate transactions in which they are directly or indirectly involved or have an interest to ensure that such interest is not placed above their duty to the company. One of the ways in which the law strives to achieve this balance is by imposing a duty on the director to disclose to the board any interest he has in company’s transactions. This requirement which was previously governed by the common law and the company’s articles, is presently increasingly finding a place in companies statutes in different jurisdictions. The paper examines, through a comparative analysis, the provisions on the duty of the director to disclose interest in company’s transactions in South Africa and United Kingdom with the aim of discovering the extent to which the statute in both jurisdictions upholds the common law prescriptions. The paper argues that the need for transparency in corporate governance and the preservation of the distinct legal personality of the company demand that the duty to disclose interest should be upheld even in those cases of companies run by a sole director.

Pedagogical practice preparing future teachers is, undoubtedly, one of the most important elements of university studies. However, up to now pedagogical practice remains a very problematic sphere. Pedagogical activity, on the whole, is complicated, diverse and manifold. After all, it is an activity requiring creativity, high intellect and good psychological preparation. A student doing pedagogical practice, inevitably encounters various hardships -both specialty/professional and psychological. During the practice many different kinds of pedagogical situations are revealed. Various scientific research studies, carried out in the last few years, show the common situation – students-practitioners lack psychological preparation in communication with students, adjusting to a new environment, understanding them and so on. Actually, pedagogical practice theoretical and practical questions were discussed in the international scientific conference which took place between 1- 5 July, 2013 in Yerevan (Armenia). The conference under the theme „Modernization of Continuous Practice and Implementation of Organizational Mechanisms in the Higher Pedagogical Education System“ was organised by Armenian State Pedagogical University named after Khachatur Abovyan.

The present theoretical essay intends to analyze Leontiev's Theory of Activity and Donald Schön's Theory of the Reflective Professor in order to understand the common points between them and in what way they can be related to the formation of teachers. Leontiev, a disciple of Vygotsky, understands that human development occurs in the work and in social relations established by men in their surroundings. For Schön, the training of teachers occurs in their practice and reflection on this pedagogical practice. By contrasting the assumptions of the two authors, we come to the conclusion that Donald Schön's reflective teacher's proposal is closely related to Leontiev's Theory of Activity by considering that the teacher improves when reflecting on his or her pedagogical practice and, therefore, at work, the main activity of his or her life. In this sense formation is in fact self-training, since teachers re-elaborate initial knowledge in comparison with their practical experiences, which are lived daily in school contexts.

This paper is concerned with the complicated relationships between poetry and music. It tries to show that one of the common denominators between both arts can be the musical form in poetry, strictly speaking a method of poetry creation based on a musical principle. For this paper, two illustrations of this process are chosen: an Irish poet Desmond Egan’s contrapuntal poems (chosen from all Egan’s poetry) and a Czech poet Jaroslav Seifert’s Mozart in Prague. The conclusions concern the impact on the reader’s reception of poetic texts, which in their graphic form or theme stimulate references to music. We conclude that knowing (active and passive) the musical principles of counterpoint and ronda can help readers to better understand the structure, theme and meaning of the texts.
