The article considers and theoretically analyzes a complex of methodological approaches to the professional training of future specialists in physical culture and sports in modern universities of Ukraine. It is substantiated that methodological approaches fulfill a system-forming role in the professional training of future specialists, and their comprehensive use in the educational process contributes to the increasing of efficiency and competitiveness of graduates in the market of physical education and health-preserving services. It's proven that the competency-based approach in the professional training of future specialist of physical culture and sports is aimed at the development and formation of key and subject competencies of the individual; the result is the formation of general competencies or professionalism, including both key and subject competencies, and serves as an integrated personality characteristic. This characteristic is formed in the process of learning and covers knowledge, skills, attitude, activity experience, values and models of personality behavior. The systematic approach to the training of specialists in the field of physical culture and sports is determined as one of the key methodological foundations, as it allows considering the pedagogical process as a unified system with all interconnections between its components; the effectiveness of the functioning of such a system depends on both its ultimate goal and internal structure. The cultural approach in the system of professional education is interpreted as a set of theoretical and methodological principles in combination with organizational and pedagogical measures aimed at creating conditions for mastering and transmitting values and methods that contribute to the creative self-realization of a personality of physical culture and sports in the professional sphere. The cultural approach as a specific scientific methodology of cognition and transformation is based on axiology - the doctrine of values and the value structure of the world, actualizing the importance of the axiological approach, the essence of which is in directing professional education to the formation of a system of values among applicants that determine their attitude to the world, their own activities and to themselves as individuals and specialists. The essence of the acmeological approach is to determine ways to achieve competence; focus on humanistic development of the individual through the use of specific educational subjects; taking into account the motives, values and goals of a specialist in choosing ways of activity. Specific methodological approaches are focused on certain goals of professional training of future specialists in physical culture and sports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reveals the essence and features related to the development of the future choirmasters’ emotional competence in the process of profession-oriented training. The purpose of the article is to determine the methodological approaches and pedagogical principles of forming the emotional competence of future choirmasters in the process of profession-oriented training. The competence-based paradigm of art-centred education is defined as the one that is aimed at gaining the experience necessary for making constructive decisions in a nonlinear, variable and unpredictable process of performing and art-pedagogical practice. Emotional competence is interpreted as an integral quality, a set of knowledge, skills, abilities and practical experience of the conscious handling of emotional information and volitional regulation of emotional behaviour in the process of working with the choir aimed at optimizing the emotional aspect of artistic communication through reflexivity, empathy and appropriate conducting expression. The component structure of the future choirmasters’ emotional competence has been determined; it includes person-oriented cognitive, analytical-interpretive, sensory-expressive and reflexive-regulatory components. The theoretical and methodological basis for the development of the future choirmasters’ emotional competence is considered. The acmeological approach is aimed at the maximum disclosure of the student’s internal potentials, which is possible through designing individual performing and pedagogical trajectory. The hermeneutic approach helps to master new knowledge related to one's own inner world, emotional manifestations of other knowledge and artistic emotions that are transmitted in the musical text. The reflexive approach enables a substantive vision of the emotional component of profession-related activities as a result of productive introspection. The pedagogical principles facilitating the development of the future choirmasters’ emotional competence have been distinguished: the principle of subjective activity, the principle of emotional dominance and the principle of systematization of emotional experience.

The need to ensure financial stability of businesses under global challenges conditions is highlighted in this paper. The company financial stability is one of the most important characteristics of the company financial condition, associated with the level of dependence on creditors and investors and is characterized by the ratio of equity and liabilities. The existing methodological approaches for the evaluation of the enterprise financial stability are analyzed. The evaluation of financial stability on the example of metallurgical enterprise by coefficient, score and integrated methods is carried out. The coefficient analysis shows that the most of financial stability coefficients in the dynamics have decreased and are not within the normative values. While analyzing the financial stability type, it is determined that the enterprise in 2018–2020 had unstable financial condition, which indicates solvency violation. The results of the financial stability analysis by scoring method, according to which the coefficients are assigned the appropriate score depending on the approximation to the normative indicator, led to the conclusion that PJSC «AZOVSTAL» in 2018–2020 was included to the fifth class, i.e. crisis enterprise of the highest risk, practically not solvent. The evaluation of financial stability by the integrated method, according to which the value of the integrated indicator should be closer to one, showed that the enterprise financial stability in 2018 was bad, in 2019 very bad, and in 2020 satisfactory. The measures to increase the enterprises financial stability depending on the financial stability level are proposed, particularly, for the investigated enterprise it is proposed to improve financial flow planning, implementation of real payment calendars, creation of financial responsibility centers and strengthening control over them by the holding, which always make it possible to have reliable information about the company's cash flows and increase the controllability of current payments, reduce losses from the funds misuse. It is also proposed to accelerate the turnover of enterprise resources, which will improve the overall efficiency of activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The widespread proliferation of information and communication technologies and the task of meeting the sustainable development goals by overcoming the uneven access of the younger generation to information and communication technologies require the presence of the high level of the ICT competence and the ability to carry out tutoring activities in the information society for teachers-to-be. The paper offers the methodological approaches (contents, methods, tools, and technologies) of forming the tutor ICT competence in the process of future teachers’ professional training. The educational content, which aims at building the ICT competence of teachers as tutors is distributed over the entire period of students’ study at higher educational institutions. During the study of compulsory subjects in the Bachelor program and the "Organization of distance learning in the educational institution" elective discipline in the Master program, students are familiarized with theoretical and methodological aspects of the use of ICT in tutoring. The main method of forming the tutor ICT competence is the portfolio method, in particular, the use of e-portfolio. As the main means of the formation of the tutor ICT competence, computer training programs, e-resources, Internet resources, mobile applications, virtual and augmented reality are determined. E-mail, blogs, social networks, webinars, chats have been used as the technologies of network interaction for forming the tutor ICT competence. In order to identify effective methodological approaches to the formation of the ICT competence of future teachers as tutors, the study has been conducted based on the collection of information by means of questionnaires and statistical processing of the results. The analysis of the results of the pedagogical experiment and comparison of indicators of control and experimental groups before and after the study have shown the effectiveness of the proposed methodological approaches to the formation of the tutor ICT competence. Implementation of these methodological approaches has become possible due to the introduction of information and educational environment with distance learning technologies and information and communication technologies as its main components.

Production potential as a basic component of the enterprise's potential requires comprehensive, multi-criteria and detailed analysis of the use efficiency. The relevance of organizing the analysis of efficiency of the enterprise production potential use is increasing especially under the conditions of fierce competition, economic crisis and uncertainty. Methodological approaches to the analysis of efficiency of the enterprise production potential use are discussed, processed and developed in this paper. Analysis of efficiency of the enterprise production potential use is based on the organization of comprehensive, systematic and multi-stage analytical investigation of quantitative and qualitative parameters of production potential and the efficiency of its use. The conceptual foundations of analysis of the enterprise production potential; particularly, the goals, tasks, subject, object, methods, information support and principles of such analysis are presented in this paper. Based on the generalization of modern approaches, an algorithm for analyzing the efficiency of the enterprise production potential use is proposed. The modern methods of analyzing the efficiency of the enterprise production potential use are investigated. It is determined that in the problem of analyzing the efficiency of the enterprise production potential use, researchers are more unanimous than in the problems of its interpretation and structuring and, in general, follow the resource approach. Consideration of modern methodological approaches to the analysis of the efficiency of the enterprise production potential use showed that they are complementary, but not eliminated. Based on the review of economic literature and research of indicators of the efficiency of the enterprise production potential use, such indicators are systematized in this paper in the context of the constituent elements of the enterprise production potential, that in conjunction they make it possible to obtain the objective aggregated quantitative and qualitative assessment of the actual level of efficiency of the enterprise production potential use. On the basis of the obtained analysis results concerning the efficiency of the enterprise production potential use, rational, economically justified and necessary management decisions are made. Analysis of the efficiency of the enterprise production potential use is a tool not only for such potential building, but also for creating competitive advantages and ensuring sustainable enterprise development.

The purpose of this paper is aimed at defining the border of the suburban zone behind economic approaches and leveling (comparing) the results with certain borders in the General plan. The development of suburban areas is one of the elements of the transformation of the economy of the city and region, determines the pace of their development. Though even today there is no common point of view on the interpretation of the concept of "suburban zone", there is no clear distinction between the definitions of "suburb", "suburban territory", "suburban area". In addition, it is important to define the boundaries of the city and suburban area, since cities tend to "expand" and "capture" adjacent territories. The boundaries of cities change significantly, which requires a corresponding study of the boundaries of the suburban zone, thus, the topic of work is relevant. Methodology. The article considers options for delineating borders according to existing legislative acts that define the outer border of the suburban zone of large cities with an isochronous 45-60-minute accessibility by public transport to the city. In addition, the analysis of research and publications of scientists made it possible to identify other approaches to determining the boundaries of the suburban zone and compare the results with the specified border of the suburban zone in the General plan of Odessa. Thus, calculations were made and the results were visualized, using the ArcGIS Pro software, several options for determining the boundaries of the suburban zone of the city of Odessa, namely: a methodological approach was applied to calculate the population concentration index, the results of which confirmed our assumptions about the concentration of the population in the suburban zone to the place of employment, study, cultural and social development. The second methodological approach is the calculation of the gravitational model based on the distance parameter. The results allowed us to conclude that accessibility of localities to the city center is crucial. In the third approach, using the gravity model of Kareem that combines distance and demographic potential centers of research, defines the borders of suburban zone of the city of Odessa, which are maximally correlated with the specified bounds in the General plan. Practical significance. Therefore, the conducted research makes it possible to assert that one of the important indicators in determining the border of a suburban zone is the temporary isochrone, that is accessibility to the city, which, in most cases, forms a multidimensional relationship between the city and the suburban zone. The delimitation of the borders of suburban areas of cities will allow for targeted planning of the territory, organization of an effective management system, establishment of geographical features of the city development, use of the suburban territorial resources for urban development, and the relationship between the development of the city and its suburban zone. The city center and its suburban area are interconnected objects of spatial planning documentation at the stages of development of master plans for localities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the article is to illuminate the influence of Sanskrit drama on the process of traditional Chinese drama genesis, to introduce into a Ukrainian-language scientific turn of a series of information on the history of Chinese culture that is only available in modern and ancient Chinese. The research methodology is to use a combination of historical, structural, typological-comparative research methods. This methodological approach allows us to reveal and analyze the influence of the Indian Sanskrit drama on the formation of Chinese drama. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the comprehensive coverage of the problems of the genesis of the Chinese traditional drama in the context of the Indian influence on the formation of the genre paradigm of Chinese traditional drama, as well as the systematization of material provided by Chinese researchers in Chinese, which has not yet been translated into the Ukrainian language and, in most cases, not entered into a scientific rush within the framework of the English literary criticism and cultural discourse. Conclusions. The idea of a dramatic action originated in India, and later, during the first millennium AD, the Indian Sanskrit drama was exported to the territory of East Turkestan and to the territory of Southeast Asia. Subsequently, the Uighur theater had a direct influence on the formation of the Chinese civilizational and cultural environment, which can be considered proven in the context of the actual material presented in the works of Chinese researchers, systematized and presented above. In the process of forming a genre paradigm of Chinese drama, in particular, the structure of the system of the role of Indian drama had a direct influence, as well as Indian influence was the structure of drama, there is a significant number of Chinese dramas, which present the motives of Chinese Buddhism.
