Pedagogical Principles

The article is devoted to the problems of vocal pedagogics on the example of creative life of outstanding teacher, professor of the Department of solo singing of Kharkiv I. P. Kotlyarevsky National University of Arts Liudmyla Heorhiivna Tsurkan. The goal of an article is to reveal the path of professional growth of L. H. Tsurkan and to systemize her pedagogical principles. The article uses such methods of research as historical, analytical and stylistic. The relevance of the study is due to the lack of generalizing work on the professional development and pedagogical principles of the singer and teacher. Scientific novelty lies in the coverage of previously unknown facts of the biography of L. H. Tsurcan and systematization of its methodological principles. Results for discussion. L. H. Tsurkan is an opera singer who created more than 30 leading images of repertoire for soprano, used her own experience in performance and creative premises in her own pedagogical activity, which she started in 1976 on the Department of Solo signing of Kharkiv I. P. Kotlyarevsky National University of Arts. On several examples, the questions of technology, including methodology of development of vocal apparatus, are researched. She combined fundamental principles of Italian, Russian and Ukrainian schools of singing as well as enriched these methods with new skills and ideas, which help young singers to liberate their creativity, and develop their emotional memory and independence of creative search. On some examples principles of singing are analyzed which were given to the students by L. H. Tsurkan. These are low-rib breath, free state of oropharynx. High position is combined with low breath. The power of voice is coordinated with chest and head resonance or with their combination with dominance of one or another on several parts of the voice. It is stressed that while working on technique and right breath, she always bore music in her mind. A breath is a mean of performers expressiveness. Thus, it has to change according to style of the work. Significant role of diction is stressed, which draw a lot of attention of L. H. Tsurkan. Conclusions. Renowned professor and Master of vocal pedagogics, she created experience and methodical devices which are used not only by her former students, but as well by her colleagues and young pedagogues. These are: relentless and inspired work; indefatigable search for ways and methods of correction of problems, and perfection of already achieved skills; constant development, both cultural and intellectual; ability to play musical instruments and knowledge of theory and history of music; ability to speak foreign languages, which gives an opportunity to learn an incredibly wide variety of musical literature. Not only does this all enrich both spiritually and professionally, but also it is a straightforward path to success and more complete realization of personality. The article uses reminiscences of L. H. Tsurkan’s daughter about life of the pedagogue, video-recordings of master-classes and lessons of the Professor.

The Impact

Residential architecture has one of the most conservative styles based on its specifics. However, today this type of architecture seeks to actively respond to changes in the modern world. These changes are caused by multiple factors, among them are: technological and information progress; lack of resources and environmental pollution; military conflicts and population migration etc. The purpose of this article is to summarize the experience of the Department of Architectural Environment of Lviv Polytechnic National University over housing issues and outline the methodological principles of innovation in designing both individual houses and the architectural environment of residential formations. While writing this article, we analyzed the 15-year experience of Architectural Environment's Department diploma projects. The unique feature of these projects is the priority on the design of the environment. The evolution of diploma project topics is revealed on multiple distinctive examples such as the reconstruction of old buildings in Lviv and the construction of prefabricated homes and container-type housing. Futuristic settlements are represented in projects such as “The Ocean Settlements” and “Prykarpatsk - the City of Future”. Research projects were developed to study current trends in housing design and the impact of innovative technologies on planning decisions. These projects discoursed the protection of housing from traffic noise and issues related to environmental preservation. Innovative architectural ideas of future housing, developed by students in these projects, are based on a combination of aesthetic, technical, and social components of architecture. The conclusion indicates that when educating future architects, it is important to teach them the basics of the craft, as well as the ability to defend their innovative ideas. The emphasis is placed on the importance of educating the architect's personal responsibility for their own design solutions. It is stated that professional motivation and the ability to constantly renew previously acquired knowledge and skills will be among the main tasks in training future architects.

On December 22, 2017 the Ukrainian Diplomatic Service marked the 100thanniversary of its establishment and development. In dedication to such a momentous event, the Department of International Relations of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University has published a book of IR Dept’s ardent activity since its establishment. It includes information both in Ukrainian and English on the backbone of the collective and their versatile activities, achievements and prospects for the future. The author delves into retracing the course of the history of Ukrainian Diplomacy formation and development. The author highlights the roots of its formation, reconsidering a long way of its development that coincided with the formation of basic elements of Ukrainian statehood that came into existence as a result of the war of national liberation – the Ukrainian Central Rada (the Central Council of Ukraine). Later, the Ukrainian or so-called State the Hetmanate was under study. The Directorat (Directory) of Ukraine, being a provisional collegiate revolutionary state committee of the Ukrainian People’s Republic, was given a thorough study. Of particular interest for the research are diplomatic activities of the West Ukrainian People`s Republic. Noteworthy, the author emphasizes on the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic’s foreign policy, forced by the Bolshevist Russia. A further important implication is both the challenges of the Ukrainian statehood establishing and Ukraine’s functioning as a state, first and foremost, stemmed from the immaturity and conscience-unawareness of the Ukrainian society, that, ultimately, has led to the fact, that throughout the twentieth century Ukraine as a statehood, being incorporated into the Soviet Union, could hardly be recognized as a sovereign state. Our research suggests that since the beginning of the Ukrainian Diplomacy establishment and its further evolution, it used to be unprecedentedly fabricated and forged. On a wider level, the research is devoted to centennial fight of Ukraine against Russian violence and aggression since the WWI, when in 1917 the Russian Bolsheviks, headed by Lenin, started real Russian war against Ukraine. Apropos, in the about-a-year-negotiation run, Ukraine, eventually, failed to become sovereign. Remarkably, Ukraine finally gained its independence just in late twentieth century. Nowadays, Russia still regards Ukraine as a part of its own strategic orbit,waging out a carrot-and-stick battle.

The historiography of any historically significant phenomenon goes through several stages in its development. At the beginning − it is the reaction of contemporaries to the event they experienced, which is emotional in nature and is expressed in a journalistic form. The next stage can be called a retrospective understanding of the event by its actual participants or witnesses, and only at the third stage there does appear the objective scientific research bringing value-neutral assessments of the phenomenon under study and belonging to subsequent generations of researchers. The history of The Russian Diaspora and most notably of the Russian post-revolutionary emigration passed to the full through all the stages of the issue historiography. The third stage of its studying dates from the late 1980s and is characterized by a scientific, politically unbiased study of the phenomenon of the Russian emigration community, expanding the source base and scientific research methods. During the Soviet period in Russian historiography, owing to ideological reasons, researchers ‘ access to archival documents was limited, which is why scientific study of the history of the Russian Diaspora was not possible. Western researchers also could not fully develop that issue, since they were deprived of important sources kept in Russian archives. Political changes in the perestroika years and especially in the period after the collapse of the Soviet Union increased attention to the Russian Diaspora, which was facilitated by a change in scientific paradigms, methodological principles, the opening of archives and, as a result, the expansion of the source base necessary for studying that issue. The historiography of the Russian Diaspora, which has been formed for more than thirty years, needs to be understood. The article provides a brief analysis of the historiography, identifies the main directions of its development, the research problematics, and defines shortcomings and prospects.

The considerations on the book “VirtuosaBenfeitoria” aim atevaluating the relevance of a social project to guide the actions of the ruler and theindividuals, with a view to practical actions that converge to the common good. The infant D. Pedro, also known as the Duke of Coimbra, wrote the work. The central focus of the book is to address the sense of improvement and how the prince should practice and bestow it and how the subjects would receive and practice it. The arguments of D. Pedro to deal with the good and the society are strongly influenced by classical authorities and authors of scholasticism, especially Thomas Aquinas. In this sense, on the one hand our study seeks to show that such knowledge was essential for him to understand the plots that build human relationships, whose premises, to him, should be the ones leading society towards the common good;on the other hand, the goal is to analyze the work we regard as essential theoretical and methodological principles of history that allow us to recover, through memory, historical events that potentially guide us through paths that show the relevance of the Master of the University, as a vector in the organization of a given society.

Mental Status Examination

BackgroundThe mental status examination of an extreme case of longevity, J. C., aged 118 years and 9 months, is documented in order to further knowledge regarding profiles of morbidity in the extremely elderly. J. C. is presently considered to have the longest authenticated life-span in the history of the human species.MethodNeuropsychological tests were improvised taking into account the subject's severe perceptual deficits. The examination was carried out over a six-month period. A CT scan was also conducted.ResultsThe subject's performance on tests of verbal memory and language fluency is comparable to that of persons with the same level of education in their eighties and nineties. Frontal lobe functions are relatively spared and there is no evidence of depressive symptomatology or other functional illness. Cognitive functioning was found to slightly improve over a six-month period.ConclusionsThe subject shows no evidence of progressive neurological disease. A high initial level of intellectual ability may have constituted a protective factor.

The principles of scientific attribution of liturgical cyrillic manuscripts, which has been worked out by author, are examined. The thorough study of Jerusalem Ecclesiastic Typikon from the rare books and manuscripts department’s collection of Maksymovych Scientific Library of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv is conducted. The stages of manuscript attribution are analyzed, including the date identification and localization of its origins and use. The type and the title of the codex have been identificated by the analysis of book’s texts. The linguistic variant of Church Slavonic language, used for re-writing the copy, is revealed, which has helped to localize the place of creation. Detailed watermark analysis of paper, which the copy had been made of, has allowed to estimate date range of its production. The problematic ascertainment of the date of creation has been also supported by the analysis of the textual sources, studying of palaeographic peculiarities of cyrillic script book, the inner book’s decorative features. The problem of binding production date, its construction, materials and design, is formulated. The state of preservation of manuscript is analysed, which led the author to understanding the extent of book’s relevance for its readers. The history of manuscript restoration and its stages have been studied. The places of use and migration of the copy are revealed on the basis of provenance examination up till its arrival to Maksymovych Scientific Library’s rare books collection.

This report analyzes the main trends of a roundtable discussion on the memory of Volodymyr Piskorskyi «V. K. Piskorskyi and the Problems of the Study of World History at St. Volodymyr’s University». It was held at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in September 2019 as a part of the work of the Xth International Congress of Hispanic researches of Ukraine, and it was initiated by the Center for Latin American and Iberian Studies «Casa Iberoamericana» (Department of Modern and Contemporary History of Foreign Countries). Scientists from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Nizhyn, as well as the participants from Spain, Germany, Hungary, Poland etc. participated in the round table. The event organizers set out two important tasks: firstly, to attract the attention of young researchers to the need of further study of the scientific heritage of a well-known scientist, and secondly, recognizing that Volodymyr Piskorskyi was in broad sense the representative of the European intellectual environment on the eve of the XXth century, to emphasize its affiliation with the Ukrainian cultural and scientific space in this period. The relatives of a prominent scientist – his granddaughter Olena Novikova, who carefully keeps the memory of the famous scientist-historian, and her niece Galina Piskorska – made their reports to the audience. In their speeches, the participants of the round table focused not only on the historian’s prominent scientific achievements but also outlined his social activities and heard many family legends shared by the scientist’s relatives. Thanks to the prepared video presentation of the «Piskorsky Family Memorials», the participants could not only immerse themselves in the family atmosphere, but also make a virtual trip to those European cities, which were associated with his scientific explorations, and trace the stages of a scientist’s teaching career. During the round table, a small book exhibition of Volodymyr Piskorskyi’s works from the collections of the Maximovich Scientific Library of the Taras Shevchenko National University was opened.
