Modern Approaches to the Study of Music of the Twentieth Century

the subject of research – modern academic music of the 20th century is a special kind of art, the effective development of which by students of art departments and universities requires appropriate methods. The purpose of the work is to consider problematic teaching methods that ensure the effective mastery of complex artistic material by university students who do not have sympathy for 20th century music. To verify the effectiveness of the application of problem learning techniques when students mastered avantgarde music, a pedagogical experiment was conducted to introduce problem problems, the case method and the design method into the process of mastering musical and historical disciplines. The study carried out a theoretical justification and introduced into creative practice the methods considered, which made it possible to involve the student in the development of discipline in the process of creative activity, which significantly increases the level of cognitive activity and contributes to the formation of students; to solve the problem of modern musical skill, students of the musical and pedagogical profile of education were presented with problem problems, and the task requiring brainstorming – to practically “guess” the alleged image of the author – had the necessary didactic effect. Methodological recommendations related to the use of problematic methods in music education are formulated.

Methodological Foundations of Mathematical Modeling of the Basic System of Indicators of Information Integrated Logistic Support of Exported Knowledge-Intensive Products

the article describes a general approach for the formation of a basic system of integrated logistics support indicators based on the example of the export of high-tech products. A review of domestic standards for the calculation of various indicators is carried out. The applied calculation methods are described, the choice of the Markov method of calculation is justified, and the search for independent variables and constants is carried out. In conclusion, the conclusions about the need to develop a set of measures to support exports are presented. It is proved that the use of integrated logistics support provides an increase in the competitiveness of domestic knowledge-intensive products on the international market.

Water Quality of the Hodza River in the Area of Activity of PJSC “Machine-Building Plant” Electrostal

a spatio-temporal analysis of the main indicators of the water quality of the Hodza River, the change in time of water quality along the river under the conditions of anthropogenic impact is carried out. In general, the waters of the river are characterized as “extremely dirty”. Among the pollutants, iron and ammonium nitrogen compounds absolutely prevail. There is a tendency to some improvement in the quality of river waters downstream. In the upper reaches, the COD is 1.7 and 2.5 times higher than in the middle and upper reaches; BOD – 1.6 and 2.3 times, respectively.
