Relevance of the study. A new wave of creative interest in the piano transcription combines the constructive and destructive vectors of the development. In the performing sphere the former stimulate the search for original ways of presenting the personal “I”. The destructive influence is connected with the possible hyperbolization of any artistic ideas. The presented problematic situation determines the relevance of the topic of the article: the transcription legacy of the renowned Kharkiv pianist-pedagogue Serhiy Yushkevych still remains little studied in domestic art history.Main objective of the study. The objective of the research is concluded in comprehending the stylistic dominants of S. Yushkevych’s transcriptional approach.Methodology. The research is based on the principles of an integrated approach that motivates appealing to the genre, stylistic, intonation, structural-functional, compositional-dramaturgical and comparative-interpretative methods of analysis. The biographical method is used to provide additional important informational data Results and conclusions. Transcriptions demonstrate not only the aesthetic preferences and stylistic guidelines of a particular era (according to B. Borodin), but also the individual performing and interpreting tendencies of the transcriptor himself. This allows considering transcriptions as the key to understanding a musician’s artistic credo. S. Yushkevych’s transcriptional interests include the works of composers of the Baroque and Romantic eras, Soviet-era music, and Ukrainian folklore; he is attracted by various samples of orchestral, organ-harpsichord and vocal music. The transcriptions of the “Badinerie” collection can be divided into three groups: 1) ancient music; 2) the compositions which in the original are intended for the voice with accompaniment; 3) Ukrainian music. A significant role in understanding the creative search is played by the interpretation of Yushkevych-pianist.The specificity of the transcriptional style of the Kharkiv maestro lies in the ability to create the “sound op-art” with the help of typical formulas of piano technique (similar to the op-art by V. Vasarely). This is reflected in his own system of means of expression, the specifics of the texture and register distribution of the artistic material, the use of polyphony as a technique of additional ornament, the embodiment of various acoustic effects and more. This creates a different type of the pianosound relief. The stylistic features of S. Yushkevych’s transcript handwriting are: the special register framing of the composition, the multi-layered nature of piano texture, the openness to timbre orchestration, the use of quartet writing peculiarities, the tessitura fragmentation of thematic complex, the intonation-motive detailing of musical fabric and a significant freedom from the author’s remarks. The pianism itself is the main “factor of influence” and is a representative of the individual style.

At an exhibition in 1992 at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., “Circa 1492: Art in the Age of Exploration,” one room among the four devoted to Ming China was called “Lamaist Art.” In the coffee-table book produced for the exhibition, with reproductions and descriptions of over 1,100 of the works displayed, however, not one painting, sculpture, or artifact was described as being of Tibetan origin. In commenting upon one of the Ming paintings, the well-known Asian art historian, Sherman E. Lee, wrote, “The individual [Tang and Song] motifs, however, were woven into a thicket of obsessive design produced for a non-Chinese audience. Here the aesthetic wealth of China was placed at the service of the complicated theology of Tibet.” This complicated theology is named by Lee with the term “Lamaism,” an abstract noun that does not occur in the Tibetan language but which has a long history in the West, a history inextricable from the ideology of exploration and discovery that the National Gallery cautiously sought to celebrate. Lee echoes the nineteenth-century portrayal of Lamaism as something monstrous, a composite of unnatural lineage, devoid of the spirit of original Buddhism (as constructed by European Orientialists). Lamaism was a deformity unique to Tibet, its parentage denied by India (in the voice of British Indologists) and by China (in the voice of the Qing empire), an aberration so unique in fact that it would eventually float free from its Tibetan abode, an abode that would vanish.

In this article peculiarities of cognitive activity of the pupils with development arrest are revealed; working procedure regarding development of aesthetic outlook of the pupils, mentioned above is highlighted in the article.The attention is focused on the issues of education of artistic and aesthetic interests by means of an integrated combination of arts. Much attention is paid to the aesthetic education of children, world outlook, interests, tastes, which feelings are of concern to all who are not indifferent to the future destiny of our society. The researcher notes that the essence of aesthetic education is the organization of diverse artistic and aesthetic activities of students, aimed at forming their ability to fully perceive and correctly understand the beauty in art and life, to develop aesthetic concepts, concepts and tastes, as well as to develop them artistic and aesthetic interests. Main conditions for the full development of artistic and aesthetic interests are: the appropriate level of artistic development of the child and understanding of her works of art; creating a positive emotional attitude to the objects of the aesthetic cycle. The presence of these conditions creates the basis for the emergence of artistic and aesthetic interest, which will further contribute to the correction of mental development of students of this category. Analyzing scientific works on this problem, the main indicators, which characterize the artistic and aesthetic interests of junior pupils, are determined. Among them: a conscious desire and ability of students to distinguish from the surrounding aesthetic objects or their aesthetic properties; emotional perception of aesthetic and artistic values ​​(depth and power of emotional reaction), the presence of empathy; a tendency to engage in aesthetic and artistic activity, the nature of their occurrence (interest or indifference, manifestation of autonomy in activity). Proceeding from the analysis of the state of development of the problem and relying on the noted theoretical generalizations, the author determines the artistic and aesthetic interest as a selective orientation of the individual to the knowledge of art precisely under the influence of his emotional attractiveness, which is expressed in the emotional pursuit of artistic and creative activity and the need for aesthetic pleasure. At the present stage, the use of integrated interaction of arts in music lessons is connected with the reorientation of the educational process to the student's personality in terms of her artistic and aesthetic improvement. It is envisaged that the use of integrated interaction of arts in the classroom will enable to intensify and intensify the aesthetic development of junior pupils with the LRR in the process of teaching them music, literature, fine arts, and will provide the necessary pedagogical conditions for him. Prospects of an integrated approach to the lessons of artistic disciplines in expanding the scope of its application, in the organization of a unified pedagogical system for the formation of artistic and aesthetic interests, built on the cooperation of teachers and students.

The purpose of the article is to identify ways to form and develop the national Chinese art song "period of openness". The article reveals the ideas of the origin of the national romantic musical and poetic genre, features of the German Kunstlied, Chinese romance in the "period of openness" (from Romance to Kunstlied and artistic song). The interaction of traditional Chinese and Western European music systems, in which pentatonics are organically combined with classical-romantic harmony and uniform accentuation, is studied. The research methodology involves the application of a systematic approach, as well as methods of analytical, comparative, art, using which on the examples of Chinese art song "openness period" (composers Luo Zhongzhong, Li Inha, Lu Tsai-i) analyzes the process of assimilation of national traditions in chamber and vocal creativity of Chinese composers, which found expression in the accentuation of articulatory and phonetic features of the pronunciation of the verbal text, the folk throat manner of singing, the interpretation of the voice as a color paint. The regional specificity of Chinese romance is considered on the example of the songs "Returning to Mount Qingshan" by Zhang Lizhong, "You will like it" by Shi Xin. The scientific novelty of the work is to identify transformational changes in Chinese music of the twentieth century. based on the peculiarities of the refraction of European new compositional techniques (dodecaphony, serialism), which is reflected in the romances of Chinese composers "New Wave" or "national Chinese musical avant-garde" (Luo Zhongzhong, Chen Mingzhu, Zhu Jianyer). Conclusions. The study found that the "period of openness" for China was a time of reform and change in all spheres of life, including the art of music. The basis for the creation of a national romantic musical and poetic genre was the German Kunstlied, whose principles were in tune with the aesthetic foundations of classical Chinese art. Changes in creative concepts in Chinese music based on musicians' awareness of the possibility of a subjective approach to art. Their figurative and semantic kinship became the key to the formation and approval of the national-genre foundations of Chinese artistic song. The ways of spreading and popularizing Chinese art song in the context of the idea of ​​the festival-competition movement are also determined.

Although the two concepts of lean and sustainable construction have been developed due to different incentives, and they do not pursue the same exact goals, there exists considerable commonality between them. This paper discusses the potentials for integrating the two approaches and their practices and how the resulting synergy from combining the two methods can potentially lead to higher levels of fulfilling the individual goals of each of them. Some limitations and challenges to implementing the integrated approach are also discussed. Based on a comprehensive review of existing papers related to sustainable and lean construction topics, the commonality between the two approaches is discussed and grouped in five categories of (1) cost savings, (2) waste minimization, (3) Jobsite safety improvement, (4) reduced energy consumption, and (5) customers’ satisfaction improvement. The challenges of this integration are similarly identified and discussed in the four main categories of (1) additional initial costs to the project, (2) difficulty of providing specialized expertise, (3) contractors’ unwillingness to adopt the additional requirements, and (4) challenges to establish a high level of teamwork. Industry professionals were then interviewed to rank the elements in each of the two categories of opportunities and challenges. The results of the study highlight how future research can pursue the development of a new Green-Lean approach by investing in the communalities and meeting the challenges of this integration.

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to assess how Islamic finance can act as a vehicle to enhance the current intellectual property rights regime in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Islamic finance has developed within the constraints of sharia law and has been a growth sector for the GCC. This article will identify the main principles of Islamic finance that contribute to the success of Islamic finance, which can enhance intellectual property protection in the GCC. The main sharia-compliant areas to be considered are musharaka, mudaraba, murabaha, takaful, istisna, ijara, salam and sukuk. The article will outline the founding principles of Islamic finance, the governance of sharia boards, development of Islamic finance in the individual GCC states, different frameworks of sharia-compliant investment products and the impact of intellectual property rights on the varying Islamic finance investment tools. Furthermore, the article will discuss an integrated approach to intellectual property rights which learns lessons from the Islamic finance sector in relation to infrastructure, regulation and sharia compliance. The lessons learnt from Islamic finance will inform the overall framework of recommendations for an Islamic intellectual property model. The use of Islamic finance as a vehicle to promote better intellectual property rights in terms of defining a new intellectual property approach is novel. It is aimed at spearheading further research in this area, and it will form a part of the overall integrated approach proposals to intellectual property protection in the GCC and beyond.

Using spatial econometric techniques and local spatial statistics, this study explores the relationships between the real estate values in Tuscany with the individual perception of satisfaction by landscape types. The analysis includes the usual territorial variables such as proximity to urban centres and roads. The landscape values are measured through a sample of respondents who expressed their aesthetic-visual perceptions of different types of land use. Results from a multivariate local Geary highlight that house prices are not spatial independent and that between the variables included in the analysis there is mainly a positive correlation. Specifically, the findings demonstrate a significant spatial dependence in real estate prices. The aesthetic values influence the real estate price throughout more a spatial indirect effect rather than the direct effect. Practically, house prices in specific areas are more influenced by aspects such as proximity to essential services. The results seem to show to live close to highly aesthetic environments not in these environments. The results relating to the distance from the main roads, however, seem counterintuitive. This result probably depends on the evidence that these areas suffer from greater traffic jam or pollution or they are preferred for alternative uses such as for locating industrial plants or big shopping centres rather than residential use. Therefore, these effects decrease house prices.

Abstract. The COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action ES0601: advances in homogenization methods of climate series: an integrated approach (HOME) has executed a blind intercomparison and validation study for monthly homogenization algorithms. Time series of monthly temperature and precipitation were evaluated because of their importance for climate studies and because they represent two important types of statistics (additive and multiplicative). The algorithms were validated against a realistic benchmark dataset. The benchmark contains real inhomogeneous data as well as simulated data with inserted inhomogeneities. Random independent break-type inhomogeneities with normally distributed breakpoint sizes were added to the simulated datasets. To approximate real world conditions, breaks were introduced that occur simultaneously in multiple station series within a simulated network of station data. The simulated time series also contained outliers, missing data periods and local station trends. Further, a stochastic nonlinear global (network-wide) trend was added. Participants provided 25 separate homogenized contributions as part of the blind study. After the deadline at which details of the imposed inhomogeneities were revealed, 22 additional solutions were submitted. These homogenized datasets were assessed by a number of performance metrics including (i) the centered root mean square error relative to the true homogeneous value at various averaging scales, (ii) the error in linear trend estimates and (iii) traditional contingency skill scores. The metrics were computed both using the individual station series as well as the network average regional series. The performance of the contributions depends significantly on the error metric considered. Contingency scores by themselves are not very informative. Although relative homogenization algorithms typically improve the homogeneity of temperature data, only the best ones improve precipitation data. Training the users on homogenization software was found to be very important. Moreover, state-of-the-art relative homogenization algorithms developed to work with an inhomogeneous reference are shown to perform best. The study showed that automatic algorithms can perform as well as manual ones.

A wave interference filtering section that consists of three stubs of different lengths, each with an individual stopband of its own central frequency, is reported here for the design of band-stop filters (BSFs) with ultra-wide and sharp stopbands as well as large attenuation characteristics. The superposition of the individual stopbands provides the coverage over an ultra-wide frequency range. Equations and guidelines are presented for the application of a new wave interference technique to adjust the rejection level and width of its stopband. Based on that, an electrically tunable ultra-wide stopband BSF using a liquid crystal (LC) material for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications is designed. Careful treatment of the bent stubs, including impedance matching of the main microstrip line and bent stubs together with that of the SMA connectors and impedance adaptors, was carried out for the compactness and minimum insertion and reflection losses. The experimental results of the fabricated device agree very well with that of the simulation. The centre rejection frequency as measured can be tuned between 4.434 and 4.814 GHz when a biased voltage of 0–20 Vrms is used. The 3 dB and 25 dB stopband bandwidths were 4.86 GHz and 2.51 GHz, respectively, which are larger than that of other recently reported LC based tunable BSFs.
