The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the artistic concept of "A Sea Symphony" by R. Vaughan Williams and the key role in its formation of the literary source of the work. The methodology of the work is based on the application of analytical, structural, comparative and intertextual methods, which makes it possible to expand the horizons of cognitive search and identify intertextual semantic connections within the studied phenomenon. The scientific novelty is that for the first time in Ukrainian musicology the literary source of "A Sea Symphony" by R. Vaughan Williams receives analytical coverage as an important component of the holistic artistic concept of the work. Conclusions. As a result of the work carried out, it was established that the poetic texts by W. Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" became the literary source of the symphony. They are both separate poems of the poet and fragments from his poems. Combining them, the composer builds his own compositional and dramatic logic, subordinate to the idea of revealing the significance of the mythological image of the sea, which appears in the symphony as a polysemantic archetypal complex. Features of the composer's work with a poetic text, the validity of certain notes, replications, transpositions while maintaining and accentuating its key role in building the musical and artistic whole are revealed. The specificity and principles of the distribution of poetic texts between parts of the work, as well as vocal parties, solo and choral, are determined.

The article describes the complex psychological and material circumstances in which the culture of Ukraine (Kyiv in particular) developed in 1994 in the face of financial deficits in the country and political turmoil and uncertainty. It describes the efforts of local intellectuals (philosophers and artists) to resist thenegative circumstances of the situation and to work for the future. Thanks to James Soros Foundation, the Transformation of Humanities program in Ukraine was established. The program facilitated the selection and publication of new generation textbooks for independent Ukraine. The initiators of the publication were the Institute of Philosophy of Ukraine and the director of the program N. Viatkina. Such efforts were defining for the formation of the state. The creative horizon was determined by the foundation of new musical programs, including Kyiv Musical Fest organized by composer Ivan Karabits. He also founded the cycle of concerts Time Cameras and a competition for young performers named after Volodymyr Horowitz. I. Karabits collaborated with the artists of Kyiv and arranged the Art Muzyk Fest exhibition. Despite financial turmoil on the initiative of talented artists, a number of interesting expositions took place. These initiatives were supported by Ivan Dziuba, who was Minister of Culture at that time. Young artists, who did not rely on the reactionary and indifferent artist community, organized the creative squat BZH-ART (existed from1994 to 2014). Innovative art developed there. The appearance of Dzerkalo Tyzhnia newspaper was significant due to its realistic reports. The era of the 1990s came in the facts that often connected readers to the bitter, dramatic, and even tragic pages of those times. The country in the strategy of the publication was capable of realizing itself in the words of journalists. Later, in times of the reign of L. Kuchma and V. Yanukovych, the authorities tried to destroy the publication by all means.Article received 20.05.2019 ; Статтю присвячено складним психологічним і матеріальним обставинам, у яких розвивалася культура України (Києва) у 1994 р. за умов фінансового дефіциту в країні та політичного безладу і невизначеності. Йдеться про зусилля інтелектуалів (філософів та митців) протистояти негативним обставинам тодішньої ситуації і працювати на перспективу. Завдяки фінансуванню Фонду Дж. Сороса було засновано програму «Трансформація гуманітарної освіти в Україні», яка сприяла відбору та виданню підручників нового покоління для незалежної України. Ініціаторами видання був Інститут філософії України та директор програми Н. Вяткіна. Творчий горизонт визначився заснуванням нових музичних програм, зокрема «Київ Музик Фесту» композитором Іваном Карабицем. Він же заснував цикл концертів «Час камерати» та конкурс для молодих виконавців імені Володимира Горовиця. Карабиць співпрацював з художниками Києва, зорганізувавши виставку «Арт Музик Фест». Попри фінансові негаразди, з ініціативи талановитих художників відбулася низка цікавих експозицій. Ці ініціативи підтримував Іван Дзюба, який тоді був на посаді міністра культури. Молоді художники, що не покладалися на доволі реакційну і байдужу до їхньої долі Спілку художників, організували творчий сквот «БЖ-АРТ» (існував з 1994 по 2014 р.). Там розвивалося інноваційне мистецтво.Матеріал надійшов 20.05.2019

AbstractOver the past 20 years, root cause analysis (RCA) has become one of the most widely used retrospective methods for detecting safety hazards in medicine and healthcare. Despite its wide use in management practice and growing popularity in academic research, there is currently a dearth of coverage of RCA in popular healthcare management textbooks and pedagogical publications. This paper addresses this gap by presenting innovative instructional materials and recommendations for teaching RCA in healthcare management. Using an episode of Grey's Anatomy TV show, this experiential learning exercise takes students through the steps of RCA and makes use of a range of RCA tools, including high‐level flowchart, fishbone diagram, "five whys", corrective action plan, and others. The exercise, which was classroom tested and received positive student feedback, can be adapted to a range of healthcare management classes. Because RCA can have widespread, lifesaving consequences, healthcare management courses can significantly benefit from integrating this exercise into classroom pedagogies.

Historically, the relationship between Indonesia and India has existed for more than two thousand years and represents a strong foundation for cooperation between the two countries at the present stage. The expansion of trade and investment relations between the two countries is expected to enhance beneficial practical cooperation between both countries. The unprecedented terrorist attack in Mumbai, which lasted from 26 to 29 November 2008, demonstrated India's vulnerability on the high seas. These events along with the unstable environment have necessitated an enhanced security partnership between India and Indonesia to ensure stability and peace in the region.Developing bilateral relations between the two countries to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership should further strengthen cooperation in security and other areas.

Статья посвящена характерным особенностям формирования оценки в колонках А. Г. Баунова, опубликованных на slon.ru. В статье исследуется воплощение оценки на уровне макро- и микроструктуры текста, а также использование иконического элемента, метафоры и контекста в качестве средств выражения оценки. Оценочность у Баунова выступает мощным речевым фактором воздействия на аудиторию, формирует общественное мнение и ценностные ориентиры. В этом смысле тексты автора выполняют, кроме информационно-воздействующей, культуроформирующую функцию. В публицистике Баунова сформулирована одна из важнейших проблем современного общества — распространение в мире «языка вражды», навязывание его обществу через СМИ, утрата гуманистических идеалов в угоду политическим интригам. Автор описывает это через конфликт между двумя «способами высказывания»: тем, «который предполагает, что вокруг все чисто», и тем, «который предполагает, что рядом существуют другие». Тексты Баунова представляют собой вариант дискурса, который нацелен на договаривание, побуждение и призыв к такому высказыванию, которое «предполагает место для других способов высказаться о том же . This article deals with the characteristic features of evaluation in the columns of A. G. Baunov, published on slon.ru. The article is devoted to the embodiment of evaluation at the levels of a text macrostructure and microstructure. Iconic metaphorical and contextual elements serve as the means to express evaluation. Baunov's evaluation is a powerful speech factor to convey impact on the audience, to form public opinion and values. In this regard, Baunov's texts perform, apart from the informative function, the culture-shaping function. Baunov's publicist works contain a formula for one of the most significant problems of the contemporary community — the spread of "the language of hatred" in the world, imposing it on the society through the media, alongside the loss of humanistic ideals in favor of political intrigue. The author presents this problem through a conflict between two "types of statements": the first "suggests that there is nobody around", and the second "suggests that there are others".

The paper discusses the results of a survey of a translation teacher profile in the context of Russian academia. It reveals that there is no integral profile of a translation teacher in Russia today. Translation teachers can be categorized into certain groups according to their initial training, practical experience in translation and age. The survey shows that a significant number of translation teachers have had no translation training. Regardless of their initial training, almost all translation teachers are engaged in practical translation, however only few of them perform translation or interpreting on a regular basis. Among those who teach Translation Theory there are some who have never been taught it, thus they may be regarded as self-educated theorists. Virtually no translation trainers in Russian universities have ever been professionally educated in translation didactics. 75% of the total number of translation teachers have completed short-time advanced training courses, which does not seem to be sufficient to become an experienced translation teacher. A large number of those who do have initial translation training teach translation copying their own teachers. It is doubtful that all of them possess translation mode of thinking and are able to develop it in their students. The overall conclusion is that a comprehensive system for training and retraining translation teachers is required.
