<p>The aim of the paper is a retrospective analysis of formation of the 'musical taste' concept and its urgency in the contemporary society. The Methods of the research are: the theoretical analysis of the philosophical and musical literature on the approaches to the concepts “esthetical taste” (C. Batteux, D. Hume, C. Montesquieu, M. Zeltser, F. Hutcheson, A. Shafstbery, J. Herder), “artistic taste” (L. Kogan), “musical taste” (M. Marchenoka); the theoretical analysis of the psychological literature on the approaches to the problem of musical taste in the contemporary society (A. North, J. Charles &amp; L. Sant-Kvinton, P. Rentfrow &amp; S. Gosling); the empirical analysis of musical preference in the music education process (M. Marchenoka). The Results of the research are the following: in the research the essence of the musical taste is defined and is examined its urgency in the contemporary society and the empirical analysis of musical preference in the music education process.</p>

The levels of conflictological culture of pedagogues and engineers, the peculiarities of its formation as well as the comparison of the conflictological culture’s levels among representatives of these specialties on the base of their gender and work experience are analyzed in the proposed research. Each specialist owns a certain level of the conflictological culture’s development and he/she expresses it in a professional environment. The relevance of the research’s theme is caused by the necessity to improve conflictological culture of specialists for their further successful activities. The Aim of the research is the identification of differences in the levels’ formation of specialists’ conflictological culture by the example of pedagogues and engineers and the influence of such a characteristic as a gender and work experience  on it. The Object of the research is the process of forming conflictological culture of pedagogues and engineers. The Methods of the research are the following:1. the theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the given problem;2.the empirical analysis of obtained data reflected the level’s formation of pedagogues and engineers.

This paper presents the time complexity analysis of the Binary Tree Roll algorithm. The time complexity is analyzed theoretically and the results are then confirmed empirically. The theoretical analysis consists of finding recurrence relations for the time complexity, and solving them using various methods. The empirical analysis consists of exhaustively testing all trees with given numbers of nodes  and counting the minimum and maximum steps necessary to complete the roll algorithm. The time complexity is shown, both theoretically and empirically, to be linear in the best case and quadratic in the worst case, whereas its average case is shown to be dominantly linear for trees with a relatively small number of nodes and dominantly quadratic otherwise.

This paper presents the space complexity analysis of the Binary Tree Roll algorithm. The space complexity is analyzed theoretically and the results are then confirmed empirically. The theoretical analysis consists of determining the amount of memory occupied during the execution of the algorithm and deriving functions of it, in terms of the number of nodes of the tree n, for the worst - and best-case scenarios. The empirical analysis of the space complexity consists of measuring the maximum and minimum amounts of memory occupied during the execution of the algorithm, for all binary tree topologies with the given number of nodes. The space complexity is shown, both theoretically and empirically, to be logarithmic in the best case and linear in the worst case, whereas its average case is shown to be dominantly logarithmic.

In this article we propose the emergence of a new kind of visual protest and alternative communication called the Audiovisual Cultural Artifact of Protest (ACAP). These will be studied in the context of the Basque Country, which currently combines structural and conjunctural characteristics that make it an outstanding laboratory for the study of these artifacts. A theoretical analysis of the complex relationships between power, communication and resistance will be carried out, and a reading is proposed that deals with the different planes on which these resistances and disputes are expressed. Based on this analysis, four kinds of audiovisual artifacts produced in the Basque Country are studied. For the empirical analysis, the methodological reflections of visual sociology are taken into consideration. The results provide an overview of these Audiovisual Cultural Artifacts of Protest and the theoretical discussion confirms the emergence of these new forms of visual protest, indicating the existence of a broad-based dynamic in which their proliferation and diversification is occurring. The analysis of the case of the Basque Country allows these tactical and communicative innovations to be contextualised and a discussion to take place about the importance of that context, the discourse’s construction and the possible trend towards spectacularisation of the resistances.Caption: #U12Bilbora: MobiLIPDUBzioa Durangon (2012).

Tax evasion is affected by many diverse subjective and objective factors. They are intertwined and determined as well as mutually connected and complementary. This paper is aimed at and orientated towards identifying the factors, both subjective and objective, that affect tax evasion in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main research result indicates that tax evasion has multiplicative effects. It destroys the reputation of institutions primarily and, in particular, the reputation of the tax administration, it poses a threat to the tax system and rule of law, causing taxpayers distrust of the tax system itself. Thus, by reducing tax evasion the situation in public finances improves substantially. The paper shows the theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of tax evasion (which is not a goal in itself), including the empirical analysis of the subjective and objective factors that have the greatest influence on tax evasion in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the assessment of the amount of taxes evaded.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to research the word class adjective in one sequence of the ESP: Business English, more precisely English business magazines online. It is an empirical study on the corpus taken from a variety of business magazines online. The empirical analysis allows a comprehensive insight into the word class adjective in this variety of Business English and makes its contribution to English syntax, semantics and word formation. The syntactic part analyses the adjective position in the sentence. The semantic part of the study identifies the most common adjectives that appear in English business magazines online. Most of the analysis is devoted to the word formation of the adjectives found in the corpus. The corpus is analysed in such a way that it enables its division into compounds, derivatives and conversions. The results obtained in this way will give a comprehensive picture of the word class adjective in this type of Business English and can act as a starting point for further research of the word class adjective.

This study intends to integrate the relationship of market orientation, innovative capacity and firm performance to Information and Communication Technology(ICT) SMEs. The purpose of this study is to identify the role of absorptive capacity and transformative capacity that affect the performance of ICT SMEs. Hypotheses were established between five latent variables. A total of six hypotheses were established including the moderated effects of absorptive capacity and transformative capacity. Of the data collected after the survey, 112 valid surveys were selected as the final sample, except for 17 questionnaires with high non - response and insincere response. The empirical analysis of this study used smartpls3.0, Partial Least Squares (PLS), a variance-based structural equation modeling. The empirical analysis of this study revealed that the impact of market orientation on innovative capacity was significant. Moreover, the innovative capacity had a positive effect on the performance of ICT SMEs. In addition, the absorptive activity had a positive moderated effect between the market orientation and the innovative capacity. On the other hand, the transformative capacity showed a positive moderated effect in relation to innovative capacity and firm performance. Our empirical results have demonstrated the importance of knowledge based capacity in the ICT SMEs.
