Formation and Development of Cultural Competence by Increasing Access to Material Forms of Historical and Art-History Heritage

The formation of the practical competence of the cultural cycle is determined, first of all, by the formation of access to the fund of material and non-material forms of art, which makes it possible to expand the possibilities of an individual to increase his cultural level. The relevance of the study is determined primarily by the fact that each individual must not only carry out his practical activities but also form an understanding of the meaning of cultural studies in his mind. In this regard, and in the context of overcoming crisis phenomena in the economy, turning to non-material forms becomes a priority task for bearers. The novelty of the research is determined by the possibilities of increasing access to cultural products, while the importance of access is determined not only by high culture. The authors show that the ability to access forms of mass culture also matters. It is shown that one of the possibilities of access to popular culture is to increase the level of distribution of library access. Using the example of countries that declare their commitment to raising the cultural level of the population, the necessity for the development of digital educational resources is shown. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibilities of widely involving the population in the processes of digitalisation of information carriers about art and, on the basis of this, about the formation of general cultural competence in society as a whole

The Neuropedagogical Aspects of Mental and Cognitive Activity in Younger School-Age Children

This article discusses theoretical angles of investigating the psychological development of younger school-age children and the examination of cognitive processes, due to the fact that each age group is associated with its own predominant activity. The leading activity is distinguished by the formation and alteration of other forms of activity, the restructuring of fundamental cognitive processes and personality development. It might not consume all of a child’s spare time, but it does affect his/her growth during that age. Engaging in learning activities is of paramount importance for young learners. Firstly, it establishes essential relationships between the child and society. Secondly, it serves as the groundwork for developing core personality traits and certain cognitive processes of younger school-age children. The level of success that students in this group attain will significantly determine their well-being and standing in the class. Ukrainian research has outlined various learning challenges commonly experienced by younger school-age children and the psychological factors behind them. Accordingly, learning challenges can be attributed to a lack of attention, inadequate short-term and long-term memory, visual reasoning, mental processes and general intelligence. However, not only children with learning difficulties require an individual approach. Considering the distinct cognitive mental processes of younger school-age children, teachers can create the most favourable conditions for their learning and growth. Therefore, this article aims to study the characteristics of cognitive mental processes in younger school-age children.</p

Актуалізація проблемного поля філософської психології

Стаття присвячена можливості виявлення нових перспективних напрямків дослідження філософської психології. Особливістю східнослов’янського підходу до душі та проблеми співвідношення душа/тіло є релігійна (православна) основа. Відродження інтересу до релігії сьогодні актуалізує розвиток цього варіанту філософської психології – в новітніх антропологічних та соціальних умовах і в поєднанні з патріотичними структурами мислення українців.The article has been devoted the exposure of new perspective directions of research philosophical psychology.

New approach to risk assessment of certain agricultural products

Purpose. The main purpose of the research is to substantiate a new approach to assessing the risk of production and sales of certain types of the agricultural products. Methodology / approach. The abstract-and-logical method (systematization of publications on risk assessment of the risk level); the economic and statistical one (determination of root-mean-square deviation (δ), the coefficient of variation (v), and the coefficient of residual variation); the marginal analysis (determination of the break-even level of production of certain types of the products) have been used. Results. The methodological approach that allows determining the risk level of certain types of the products has been developed and it has been proposed to determine not only with the help of the break-even point, but also to supplement the following indicators – determining the reserve of safety and the reserve of financial strength. It is proved that similar obtained assessments of the certain product type production risk level using the analysis of variation indices can be reached by examining the break-even point indices, financial safety margin and the margin of safety. Research results show that unlike variation indices, the break-even point index, the financial safety margin index and the margin of safety index show the maximum amount of possible net income reduction. Originality / scientific novelty. The methodical approach to the assessment of the risk level of agricultural production at the given level of profitability, which is based on the comparison of the levels of production intensity of certain types of the products, that ensures their break-even point, has been substantiated. Practical value. The application of the proposed methodological approach allows the managers to determine how much to reduce the amount of the net income or the level of production intensity, but not to fall into the zone of loss

Magnesium in Idiopathic Mitral Valve Prolapse

The aim of our research was to increase the effectiveness of the therapy administered to the patients with idiopathic mitral valve prolapse by pharmacological correction of magnesium deficiency. 79 patients (23 females and 56 males with average years of age 35.7±4.3 ) with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia and mitral valve prolapse of the 1st and 2nd degree were examined. The control group consisted of 20 healthy individuals, comparable by sex and age. A test by the UNESCO Institute for Microelements was used for the preliminary diagnostics of magnesium deficiency. Daily ECG monitoring with heart rate variability analysis, echodopplercardiography with the assessment of left ventricular diastolic function and determination of magnesium concentration in blood serum were performed. For the demonstration of autonomic dysfunction “the test for detection of the signs of vegetative changes” was used (10). For the assessment of situational and personal anxiety an “anxiety test” by Ch. D. Spielberg and Y. L. Hanin (25, 26) was used. The succeeding study was performed after 6 months. It was found that complex therapy with magnesium orotate in patients with idiopathic mitral valve prolapse helps to reduce the frequency of clinical manifestations of neurovegetative disturbances in the majority of examined patients contributing to harmonization of the autonomic nervous system function. It has a favorable effect on dysplastic changes and the state of bioelectrical activity of the heart, as well as correction of the psychoemotional state

Intangible Cultural Heritage as A Resource for Consolidating Modern Ukrainian Society

The relevance of this study lied in actualising the issue of increasing the level of social consolidation of Ukrainian society under the conditions of a number of political, economic, social, and cultural transformations. Intangible cultural heritage serves as the main resource for the establishment and development of national consciousness, which, in turn, strengthens integration processes within society. The purpose of the study is to prove the value of intangible cultural heritage in the modern life of Ukrainians and substantiate the need to preserve cultural values in the course of historical development as a powerful ethno-unifying factor. In the course of the study, general scientific methods, namely analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, systematic, and comparative were used for logical and consistent presentation of the material. A critical approach to information allowed comprehensively and thoroughly examining the issue of cultural heritage as a unifying factor. As a result of the study, it was discovered that due to complex socio-political and globalisation processes, there is still a need to preserve the traditional heritage, which is an indicator of cultural independence, proving the uniqueness and originality of each nation. Therefore, in the course of the technologisation of society
