AbstractThe aim of this study is the analysis of creativity changes across life, particularly the widely discussed crisis periods in the development of creative abilities. A large and diversified sample of Poles (N = 4898 aged from 4 to 21 years), at each educational stage of the Polish education system, from pre-schoolers, through primary school students, middle-school students, secondary-school students and finally university students completed the Test for Creative Thinking – Drawing Production. The observed changes showed a nonlinear pattern in the development of creativity with diverse declines and increases in creative abilities. These trends are different for each of the assessment criteria of the TCT-DP and at least three different trajectories were identified. The adolescent slump was confirmed for three of the 14 assessment criteria as well as the total TCT-DP score. What was not noted however was: a slump caused by entry into formal schooling, (age 6 vs 7), 4th grade slump, (age 9 vs 10) and 6th grade slump (age 11 vs 12). We discuss possible reasons for and consequences of the findings.

Problem setting. The importance of financial control in the formation of market relations is significantly increasing, because such control contributes to the successful implementation of the financial policy of the state, ensuring the proper formation, distribution (redistribution) and the use of funds accumulated in public funds. In addition, it should be noted that financial control is a means of regulating economic activity. In this context, legal support for financial control is of great importance. Independent financial control is a form of non-governmental financial control that can be exercised by specialized organizations – audit firms or auditors. It is significant that Ukraine recently adopted a law regulating the procedure for auditing and conducting financial audits. It is the Law of Ukraine “On Audit of Financial Reporting and Auditing” № 2258-VIII of December 21. 2017, which came into force on 1 October. 2018. Analysis of recent researches and publications. We emphasize that the study of the concept of “financial control”, the definition of its types, forms and methods, as well as the legal status of the entities that carry it out, were engaged in the following scientists: L. K. Voronova, О. P. Hetmanets, T. A. Zhadan, M. P. Kucheryavenko, P. P. Latkovsky, Yu. A. Mandrychenko, L. A. Savchenko and others. However, changes in the legal regulation of financial control, issues related to the consolidation of the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control need to be examined in detail. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze the legal status of entities exercising independent financial control in Ukraine. Article’s main body. In the article the author reveals the peculiarities of the legal status of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine as a subject of independent financial control in Ukraine. Іt can be stated that the Audit Chamber of Ukraine, which is a professional organization, is a direct participant in the relations related to the organization and implementation of independent financial control, in particular, audit control. Given the compulsory nature of acquiring membership in the AСU, the statutory purpose and activities of this organization, this organization can not be considered public. Conclusions and prospects for the development. It is stated that the legal status of the specified entity is characterized by a certain multidimensionality. In particular, the Audit Chamber of Ukraine is a professional, self-regulatory organization that is authorized to perform public functions and is managed through specially created bodies. The above shows that the current legislation of Ukraine reflects a new approach to the regulation of independent financial control, in particular by defining the powers, rights and duties of the Audit Chamber of Ukraine.

The main approaches to the methodology of staff incentive and engagement are considered in the article. The research aim is to develop theoretical and methodological provisions, methodological approaches to the formation, functioning and development of a staff incentive scheme. Today, economics has developed several contradictory approaches to the definition of a category “staff incentive scheme”, as a consequence of ambiguous understanding of such categories as “motive” and “stimulant”, “engagement” and “incentive”. The issue of the relation between these concepts has remained controversial. In management practice, these categories are not differentiated, they are considered rather as synonymous concepts. The author has summarized the views of economists on the essence of the “incentive” and “engagement” concepts. It has been determined that, most scientists proceed from the fact that engagement is a broader concept than incentive. The article examines the engagement process from the standpoint of the stimulant impact on the motive formation. Staff incentive in an organization is not only a process but also a system, therefore, defining the technological component of the methodology, the author considered it as a system and process at the same time. The article describes the structure of a staff incentive scheme in different types of social and labor relations. As a result of studying the genesis of social and labor relations and the conceptual fundamentals of management and engagement, society development and the scientific and technological progress, the author found that development of a theoretical and methodological approach to staff incentive is efficient and meets the requirements of a new paradigm of socio-economic systems. A theoretical and methodological approach to staff incentive has been offered. This approach differs in the concepts of incentive as a system and process in the formation and support of which the object of management together with the subject is involved. The worldview aspect of the methodology was formed as a result of the development of mechanistic, humanistic, socially-oriented and participative approaches to human resources management. The cognitive component of the methodology is shown in the development of theories which reflect this evolution: classical management theories, the concept of human relations, the concept of human resources, the concept of socially responsible and ethical management.

Tyrimo objektas – studentų kūrybiškumo kognityvinių ir intelekto gebėjimų struktūrinių ypatumų santykis. E. P. Torrance’o testu (TCT verbalinės dalies A forma) ir R. Amthauerio IST-70 B forma ištirta 160 Vilniaus pedagoginio universiteto studentų. Koreliacine analize nustatytas statistiškai reikšmingas sąryšis tarp mąstymo lankstumo bei originalumo ir aukščiausio lygmens kalbinių intelekto gebėjimų, matuojamų BE subtestu, taip pat tarp mąstymo sklandumo, lankstumo bei originalumo ir sakinio papildymo (SP) bei žodžių išrinkimo (ŽI) subtestų įvertinimų. Statistiškai reikšmingos priklausomybės tarp kūrybiškumo kognityvinių gebėjimų pokyčio mokantis pagal specialią kūrybiškumo ugdymo programą ir intelekto struktūros profilio nerasta, tačiau ryški originalumo padidėjimo sąsaja su kalbinių intelekto gebėjimų (BE), konstrukcinio mąstymo (KU) subtestų įvertinimais ir originalumo bei sklandumo pokyčio sąsaja su loginio-algebrinio mąstymo (SE) subtesto įvertinimais.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: kūrybiškumas, divergentinis mąstymas, intelektiniai gebėjimai. SOME RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS’ CREATIVE AND INTELLECTUAL ABILITIESDaiva Karkockienė, Giedrė Butkienė SummaryThe aim of this study was to reveal some interactions between creative and intellectual abilities as well as interactions of creative abilities variation after training of creativity and intellectual abilities.Creativity in this study is understood in terms of cognitive abilities of creative thinking expressed by divergent thinking components as fluency, flexibility and originality (Guilford, 1950; Torrance, 1974; Sternberg and O’Hara, 1999). Divergent thinking is the one component of creative thought understood as the distinct capacity to generate multiple alternative solutions as opposed the one correct solution. Divergent thinking is assessed through open-ended tests such as consequences and alternative uses, where responses are scored for fluency (number of responses), flexibility (category shifts in responses) and originality (uniqueness of response).There were 160 students (mean age 23) from Vilnius Pedagogical University. E. P. Torrance test (verbal, form A, 1974) was used to identify cognitive abilities of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility and originality). R. Amthauer test (IST-70) was used to measure intellectual capabilities. The subjects were randomly assigned to two experimental (n = 80) and control groups (n = 80). The experimental group took part in creativity training program during four months (32 hours).The special program of creativity training was used once a week for four months (32 hours). The program was made-up for the developing cognitive abilities of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility and originality). Special methods (brain storming, ideas generation, drama, divergent tasks etc.) were used to develop students’ creative abilities. The experimental group took part in creativity training program.The study revealed the interactions between creative abilities evaluated by Torrance test (TTCT, verbal A form) and intellectual abilities evaluated by Amthauer IST. Weak interactions were revealed between flexibility and BE subtest of abstract verbal ability (r = 0,24, p < 0,01), as well as originality and BE subtest of abstract verbal ability (r = 0,22, p < 0,01). There are some weak links between all cognitive parameters of creativity (fluency, flexibility and originality) and the results of Sentence Supplement (SP) subtest (r = 0,17, p < 0,05) as well as between fluency, flexibility and ability to percept language meaning (ŽI) subtest (r = 0,18, p < 0,05; r = 0,16; p < 0,05). No such tendency was found between other creative and intellectual abilities.Though there were no significant interactions between increase of creative abilities and intellectual abilities, clear links were found between originality and abstract verbal ability (BE) and spatial imagination (KU) (r 0, BE = 0,41; r 0, KU = 0,38; r 0,05 = 0,53).Keywords: creativity, divergent thinking, intellectual abilities.

We reveal the features of the development of project activity skills among students in the educational environment of the university. It is substantiated that the project activity, which is used in the teaching process of students, contributes to the development of knowledge, skills, it is able to form the competencies they need, to become a versatile personality. It is proved that in the educational environment, willingness to learn new knowledge, skills, focus on results, hard work is being developed, creative thinking is developing, and most importantly, high skill and qualifica-tion are acquired. It is concluded that the design process is a kind of transition of the student from one state to another, step-by-step conditions that allow you to achieve great educational, practical results in a shorter period of time. The design process is the most effective and comfortable for students, since this process focuses on the individuality of each person, which, in the process of joint, teamwork, undergoes changes in the student himself, by taking a certain role in the design process. It is proved that the creation in the educational environment of the most favorable condi-tions for the development of students’ skills leads to the successful and effective formation of a holistic, informed personality, which, in turn, is the driving force for the development of society as a whole. The skills that a graduate possesses determine the level of development of the educational environment.

The central role of eHealth to enable the successful implementation of integrated care is commonly acknowledged today. This is easier said than done. To provide correct, understandable, and timely information at the point of need and to facilitate communication and decision support for a network of actors with different prerequisites and needs are some of the big challenges of integrated care. This book chapter focuses on the specific challenges related to informatics and socio-technical issues when designing solutions for integrated eCare. Methods for requirements elicitation, evaluation, and system development using user-centred design in collaborative environments involving a variety of stakeholders are presented. Case studies in homecare of older patients, in the care of stroke patients, and regarding citizen eHealth services in general illustrate the application of these methods. Possible solutions and pitfalls are discussed based on the experiences drawn from the case studies. To address the main informatics and socio-technical challenges in integrated eCare, namely informatics-supported collaborative work and to provide coordinated continuity for the patient, top-down activities such as health informatics standardisation, and bottom-up activities resulting in the definition of concrete patient journey descriptions, interaction points, information needs (that can be transformed into standardised data sets), as well as visualisation and interaction patterns need to go hand in hand.

TeleCR is an innovative and (cost-)effective preventive care delivery strategy that can overcome the challenges associated with traditional centre-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR). This chapter describes how it can be implemented in daily practice. From an organizational point of view, it implies a shift in traditional and operational workflows and reorganization of the (non-)human resources for care delivery. The establishment of a well-coordinated tele-team, the definition of clear goals, profound progress monitoring and follow-up, and the creation of an environment that promotes sustained delivery of teleCR are paramount. Tackling the current legal and technological challenges is another prerequisite for successful implementation.
