The article deals with the artistic echoes of the ideas of the German romantic author E.T.A. Goffman in the novel “The Collector” by the English postmodernist J. Fowles. The aim of the study is to prove that Hoffmann’s concept of dividing people into inhabitants and artists, burghers and creative persons, ordinary and elected ones, i.e., philistines and enthusiasts, found its artistic echo in the images and situations of the novel “The Collector” by J. Fowles; as well as to generalize and adapt scientific and theoretical material on this problem to the students of philology while their preparation for practical and seminar classes. The research methodology is to extrapolate Hoffman’s concept of enthusiasts and philistines to the text of the “Collector”, as well as to determine the confrontation between these two types of people as one of the leading themes of Fowles’ novel. Research results. It is emphasized that Hoffman has divided all his characters into two unequal groups: enthusiasts and philistines. It is established that in Hoffmann’s stories the world of enthusiasts symbolizes full of life existence with all the richness of ideas, emotions, contradictory and complex feelings typical for a search person; the world of philistines, instead, personifies a dim imitation of a real life, i.e. a “mechanized” existence, in which there is no creative impulses, creative initiative. In his works Hoffman warns mankind of the danger of such existence emphasizing the need to protect the world of enthusiasts. It is proved that Hoffman’s thoughts were prophesied. Less than 150 years later, their echo has found its artistic reflection in the works of modern English writer John Fowles, in particular in the novel “The Collector”. In the images of the protagonists Miranda and Frederick Clegg, John Fowles depicted two opposite worlds, which are considered a symbolic continuation of the confrontation of Hoffmann’s enthusiasts and philistines. Miranda represents a modern type of enthusiast, a search person who is choked with emotions and feelings, intuitively realizing that this is the meaning of her life. Clegg generalizes a modern type of a philistine – an ambitious, limited tyrant, full of hidden malice and hatred for those who are spiritually richer and smarter. Hoffman’s warnings have also come to the fore in the fact that philistines can make enthusiasts their victims, as it is illustrated in the novel on the example of the tragic fate of Miranda. Scientific novelty. Reminiscences of Hoffmann’s ideas about the confrontation between enthusiasts and philistines, generalized in the images and types of “The Collector” by J. Fowles, reminding of the eternal antagonism between love and hatred, good and evil, creative living principles and a mundane existence, constitute the scientific novelty of this article. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used for further research of J. Fowles’ literary heritage. The article will be also useful for the students of philology while their preparation for seminars and practical classes.

How does an entire state assess the arts in every school district at the elementary, middle, and high school levels with interrater validity and reliability? This chapter will summarize how Washington State’s Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) created, developed, designed, piloted, assessed, implemented, and reported arts classroom-based performance assessments (CBPAs), 2003–2016. The OSPI music CBPAs measure what educators value and teach, align with state arts learning standards regarding what all students should know and be able to do in music, and empower teachers to change their practice, resulting in practical significance. Developed by music educators, music CBPAs measure how individual students create, perform, and respond to real-life prompts. The CBPAs are formative and summative in design, and have become part of accountability instructional practices and state policy via annual district implementation verification reports. The vision for the initial CBPA design was: Curriculum + Instruction + Assessment for/ = Learning.

Life Journey

French cartoonist and filmmaker Joann Sfar has often used the comics medium to reflect on visual representation. His latest bande dessinée, Chagall en Russie ['Chagall in Russia'] (2010-2011), continues some of the meta-pictural elements previously found in his Pascin (2000-2002), which already featured Chagall in several episodes, as well as his acclaimed series, The Rabbi's Cat, where Sfar introduced the character of an anonymous Russian painter, whose biography and artistic stance seemingly referred to that of Marc Chagall. Although Chagall en Russie explicitly refers to the real-life Franco-Russian modernist painter, it is certainly not a standard biographical exercise. By offering a synthetic and often symbolic version of personal and historical events experienced by Chagall, Sfar takes certain liberties with the painter's life story as it was outlined by the artist (in My Life, his 1922 autobiography) and by many biographers and art historians. Sfar does not seek an authentic depiction of his subject's verifiable life journey, but rather views it through a metaphorical narrative, which is itself inspired by Chagall's artistic universe and raises questions about the figurative possibilities of comics.

Трансдисциплинарная компетентность рассматривается в статье как итог образования будущего педагога в системе высшего профессионального образования (ПО). Она позволяет человеку успешно интегрироваться в команду разнопрофильных специалистов, рассматривать вопросы на стыке профессиональных компетенций, выходить за рамки традиционных знаний и разрабатывать инновационные решения реальных жизненных проблем. Цель настоящей статьи — исследование возможности проектирования оптимальной, саморазвивающейся (эмерджентной), сложной педагогической системы высшего ПО, содействующей становлению трансдисциплинарной компетентности у будущих педагогов в вузе. В ходе исследования была спроектирована педагогическая система, которая представляет собой часть традиционной системы ПО, но обладает признаками, способствующими становлению у будущих педагогов трансдисциплинарной компетентности (функциональность, открытость, сложность, адаптивность, упорядоченность и т. д.). В качестве структурных элементов данной системы определены целевой, содержательный, методический и оценочно-результативный подходы. Подобная структура позволяет системе оставаться тождественной самой себе в условиях быстро меняющегося окружающего мира. Практическая значимость статьи выражается в описании содержания образования и технологий, которые применены для развития трансдисциплинарной компетентности будущих педагогов дошкольного образования Transdisciplinary competence is considered in the article as a result of training of a future teacher in the system of higher vocational education (VE). It allows a person to successfully integrate into a team of diverse specialists, consider issues at the intersection of professional competencies, go beyond traditional knowledge and develop innovative solutions to real-life problems. The purpose of this article is to study the possibility of designing an optimal, self-developing (emergent), complex system of higher vocational education of a future teacher, aimed at developing students ‘ transdisciplinary competence. In the course of the study, a system of vocation education was designed, which is part of the traditional software system, but has features that contribute to the formation of transdisciplinary competence in future teachers (functionality, openness, complexity, adaptability, orderliness, etc.). As structural elements of this system, target, content, methodological and evaluative-effective approaches are identified. This structure allows the system to remain identical to itself in a rapidly changing environment. The practical significance of the article is expressed in the description of the content of education and technologies that are used to form the transdisciplinary competence of future teachers of preschool education.

Strong Control

This article proposes a modern, new idea of increasing the effectiveness of citizen control. This is "electronic citizen control". As digitalization leads to a positive outcome in all areas, this method further enhances public scrutiny. Increases practical significance. So far, the scientific basis for the digitization of citizen control has not been studied in depth. Because this is a new direction. This research was conducted on the basis of observation, generalization and axiomatic methods. Public oversight practices were followed. The existing legal framework and their practical implementation were studied. As a result, some problems with the implementation of citizen control were identified. In particular, the failure of laws and its causes. Simple and effective methods of citizen control have not been implemented. Legal mechanisms for electronic reporting are not fully formed. The practice of organizing public discussions through digital technologies has not been formed. In general, real-life situations were not taken into account in the exercise of public control. Public control needs to be digitized to address these issues. Convenience should be created for ordinary citizens. Strong control over the activities of the state body, its official must be established. This ensures the rule of law. The article makes suggestions and recommendations based on the analysis of existing problems in this area.

The Impact

Predictive computations of the nonlinear dynamical responses of gap-supported tubes subjected to flow excitation have been the subject of active research. Nevertheless, experimental results are still necessary for validation of the theoretical predictions as well as for asserting the integrity of field components. Because carefully instrumented test tubes and tube-supports are seldom possible, due to space limitations and to the severe environment conditions, there is a need for robust techniques capable of extracting relevant information from the actual vibratory response data. Although at the present time such analysis is overambitious, as far as the multisupported tube bundles of real-life components are concerned, the same instrumentation difficulties frequently apply in the case of laboratory test rigs. Therefore, the subject of this paper is of practical significance even in the more modest realm of laboratory experiments. The knowledge of the dynamical contact/impact (vibro-impact) forces is of paramount significance, and also the tube/support gaps. Following our previous studies in this area using wave-propagation techniques (De Araújo et al., 1998; Antunes et al., 1998; Paulino et al., 1999), we recently applied modal methods for extracting such information. Based on numerically simulated time-domain vibro-impact responses, the dynamical support forces, as well as the vibratory responses at the support locations, were identified from one or several vibratory responses at remote locations, from which the support gaps could also be inferred (Delaune et al., 2010). Also recently, for the related problem of friction force identification on bowed strings, preliminary experiments have shown the feasibility of these identification techniques (Debut et al., 2010). In the present paper, the modal identification techniques developed by Delaune et al. (2010) and Debut et al. (2010) are tested using an experimental rig built at Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives (CEA/Saclay), consisting of a randomly excited clamped-free beam which impacts on an intermediate gap-support. Identification of the impact force, as well as of the beam motion at the gap-support, is achieved based on remote measurements of the beam response provided by two accelerometers. A significant feature of the experimental identifications presented in this paper is that, beyond the results obtained under a point-force shaker excitation, we test here an original technique to identify the gap-supported reactions in flow-excited systems, which was recently introduced by Delaune et al. (2010). As for most inverse problems, the identification results may prove sensitive to both noise and modeling errors. Therefore, regularization techniques discussed by Delaune et al. (2010) are used to mitigate the effects of unmeasured noise perturbations. Overall, the experimentally identified results compare reasonably well with the measured contact forces and motions at the gap-supports. Actually, even if our identifications are not immaculate at the present time, they remain nevertheless quite usable.
