Современная практика подготовки специалистов сферы культуры и искусства характеризуется определенными требованиями к студентам, к их профессиональным компетенциям, одна из которых - способность сохранять и популяризировать культурные ценности, в том числе фольклор и народное художественное творчество. Целью статьи является обоснование основных критериев, определяющих эффективную подготовку будущих руководителей хореографических любительских коллективов к сценической интерпретации чувашского народного танца. Термин «критерии» используется в данной статье для описания признаков, на основании которых можно судить о наличии или отсутствии у студентов знаний, умений и личностных качеств, необходимых для сценической интерпретации чувашского народного танца. Для определения критериев проанализирован чувашский народный танец с позиции его сценичности. Подробно рассматриваются следующие специфические черты: массовая форма исполнения, обусловившая бытование определенной хореографии, ее организационных и композиционных решений; зрелищность, исходящая из коммуникативной природы народного танца; условность языка танца, проявляющаяся в исторически сформированных характерных элементах его лексики; образность, отражающая самобытный характер чувашского народа. Перечисляются знания, умения и навыки, необходимые будущим руководителям хореографических любительских коллективов для сценической интерпретации чувашского народного танца. The current training practice of cultural and an art sphere specialist is characterized by specific requirements for students and their professional competences. The ability to preserve and popularize cultural values, including folklore and folk art, is one of these requirements. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the main criteria of effective training of future amateur choreographic group leaders for stage interpretation of the Chuvash folk dance. In this article, the term «criteria» describes the features by which one can evaluate students’ knowledge, skills and personality traits needed for the stage interpretation of the Chuvash folk dance. These criteria are determined by the analysis of theatrical effectiveness of the Chuvash folk dances. In the course of analysis, the following specific features of theatrical effectiveness are considered in detail: participation of large numbers of people in performance, determining the existence of a certain choreography, organizational and compositional decisions; the visual appeal, emanating from the communicative nature of folk dance; the symbolism of dance manifested in historically formed characteristic elements of its language; the image reflecting distinctive character of the Chuvash people. The article lists the knowledge and skills needed by future leaders of amateur choreographic groups for stage interpretation of the Chuvash folk dance.

Background/Aim. For curing infertility, sperm donors and their donations are important source of benefits for the society. Attitudes of sperm donors towards different recipient categories and relation with offspring become more important. The aim of our study was to explore sperm donation related attitudes and motives among potential sperm donors in Serbia. Methods. The study included 303 participants from Serbia, age from 20 to 40. Measures of personality traits were obtained by using the Big Five Inventory. For measuring attitudes and motivation regarding sperm donation the Attitudes and Motivation of Sperm Donors questionnaire was applied. Results. A total of 244 participants stated that they would be willing to be sperm donors. The results showed no statistically significant differences in personality traits between people who claimed that they would be willing to become sperm donors, and those claiming otherwise, but a number of differences in personality traits were found when various attitudes regarding sperm donation process, possible users of donated sperm and relations between the donor and his biological offspring were considered. Conclusion. There are no statistically significant differences in personality traits between people who claimed that they would and those that would not be willing to become sperm donors. It is possible that some other factors (e.g. cultural values) influence the decision to become sperm donor, but personality traits play an important role in making decisions regarding sperm donation process, possible receivers of donation and relations between the donor and his biological offspring.

Ideas about infant capabilities and toilet training practice have changed in the United States following cultural trends and the advice of child care experts. Anthropologists have shown that a society's specific infant training practices are adaptive to survival and cultural values. The different expectations of infant behavior of the East African Digo produces a markedly different toilet training approach than the current maturational readiness method recommended in America. The Digo believe that infants can learn soon after birth and begin motor and toilet training in the first weeks of life. With a nurturant conditioning approach, night and day dryness is accomplished by 5 or 6 months. The success of early Digo training suggests that sociocultural factors are more important determinants of toilet training readiness than is currently thought.

The previous chapters in this book have reviewed the extensive research carried out on prehistoric copper mines in Europe. Numerous site investigations provide detailed information on the geological setting of these mines and the types of ore minerals extracted. The same studies yield important insights into methods of rock extraction, ore beneficiation, and smelting, and the overall organization of those activities. Building on this solid base of information, it is possible to move beyond an understanding of mining as a technological process to an emphasis on the prehistoric communities involved. The technical details and logistics of the mining process continue to be important, but are now considered as part of a socially informed chaîne opératoire of early metal production. Mining in the modern era is regarded as an economic activity; however, there is also a distinctive character to the individuals and communities who engage in that work. This is also true of prehistoric mining, which was undertaken within specific historical contexts that were structured by particular sets of cultural values. It was a highly social activity, involving closely-knit groups of individuals working together towards a common purpose, in situations where they depended on each other for their safety. With no written records, the challenge for researchers is to understand these social dynamics using material correlates available in the archaeological record. As in other areas of prehistory, there are certain limits to the inferences that can be made using this type of evidence. That said, the significance of metal to later prehistoric societies provides a broad indication of the importance of mining as an activity. A concern with the social background of these miners goes back to the earliest research in this field. The gradual move towards a ‘social archaeology’ of early copper mining reflects broader paradigm shifts in modern archaeology, away from culture historical explanations to more interpretative understandings of the material record. While recognizing the dangers of cross-cultural generalization, ethnohistoric studies serve to illustrate the vivid social history of mining communities.

In today's competitive business environment increasingly large numbers of organisations use distributed teams in their international operations. This paper provides a basis for discussion and analysis of knowledge sharing between distributed team members working in a global context in different organisational and national cultures. Examining the different cultural values and perceptions related to knowledge sharing, the authors aim at making more explicit the human and cultural dynamics that bear on knowledge sharing and knowledge management success. A lifecycle for knowledge creation and sharing is discussed. The use of Cultural and Organisational Diversity Evaluation (CODE) is proposed for assessing the fit between national and organisational culture. The objective of using the CODE model is to raise awareness of the cultural values and attitudes in distributed teams and in combination with the life-cycle to ensure an effective process quality management and foster a knowledge sharing culture within distributed team members.

SummaryThe effects on patients, volunteers and staff of using volunteer adolescents in adolescent group therapy are examined. From 40 candidates eight volunteers were selected and oriented to the group process. Four volunteers and four patients were placed in each of two groups, and eight patients were placed in the third group. Patients and volunteers were aware of their identities in the first group session. Attendance in the groups with volunteers was better than in the group without. The volunteers themselves gained new knowledge and skills, and their presence was even helpful to the group leaders.

Immigration adaptation and race relations in the United States began receiving a great deal of scholarly attention early in the twentieth century, primarily in response to the arrival of large numbers of newcomers from eastern and southern Europe. The pre-eminent theory has been sociologist Robert Park's (1950) ‘race relations’ cycle, which posits that immigrants and racial minorities initially clashed with natives over cultural values and norms, but over time, adapt and are eventually absorbed into the mainstream society. This four-part cycle of contact, competition, accommodation and assimilation, according to Park, is ‘progressive and irreversible’. Unlike European Americans, however, the Chinese American experience in the United States has never been a consistent trajectory toward progressive and irreversible acceptance and assimilation.

Legal metrology is a very  large and  complex  field  to be  implemented.  In realizing orderly measurement for all of Indonesia, very large human resources are needed. A total of 1900 Metrology Human Resources currently available cannot meet the needs of the community, which includes at least 14.230 traditional markets and hundreds of modern markets spread throughout Indonesia. Adding large numbers of Metrologi personnel from ASN is very difficult, the most likely choice is to recruit personnel outside metrology such as market managers of traditional and modern market. This situation encouraging idea to recruit weighers whose task is to check the scales in traditional and modern markets. Through the ADDIE method which include analize, design, develop, implementation and evaluation a training model for weighers is designed. As a result, two days of training (20 JP) with classroom learning methods and laboratory practices is held . Furthermore, the weigher conducts trials in the market where each of them is on duty. The evaluation results with an average value of 4.43 of 5 Likert Scale indicate that the training is satisfying and meets the needs of the knowledge and skills of the weighers before duty.
