One of the most important tasks of higher education is to transform the research potential of higher educational institutions into a factor of economic development of Russia. According to the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard for Higher Education and qualification requirements of the Unified Qualification Directory of positions of managers, specialists and civil servants, the organization, management, participation, and conduct of research work is one of the job responsibilities of lecturers, associate professors, and professors of the department, especially workers of science. Meanwhile, the results of research activities should be implemented in the educational process - only then the process of creating new knowledge and the process of its assimilation will be well-balanced, and the cycle of updating knowledge itself will be shorter. The article examines the experience of the Moscow University for the Humanities in the organization of work related to the implementation of the results of research activities in the educational process. Research work is considered in the article as a scientific activity that includes the formulation of a research task, scientific search, collection and analysis of information, its systematization, conducting research and experiments, identifying patterns that manifest themselves in nature and society, scientific generalizations, determination and justification of the scope of implementation of the obtained results. The final result of scientific activity should have practical significance and novelty. The article considers the experience of the Moscow University for the Humanities in terms of integrating research work into the educational process.

The article presents an analysis of one of the most acute and urgent problems of our time — the acquisition of the de facto independence declared by Pristina on February 17, 2008 by the separatist forces of the Kosovo Albanians, represented mainly by the former leaders of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army, of the sabotage and punitive character of the fighting, and the Albanian politicians completely subordinate to them by that time. The authors focused on identifying the role of the UN (UN Security Council and the UN Civil Administration in Kosovo and Metohija — UNMIK), the United States, the EU, and Serbia since the beginning of the illegitimate process of negotiations, not on the implementation of the binding UN Security Council Resolution No. 1244, but on the completely contradictory negotiations on the status of Kosovo and Metohija, the failure of which, however, led, as planned, to the proclamation of the creation of the "Republic of Kosovo" and its subsequent strengthening on the basis of the principles underlying the preparation and conduct of these negotiations, as well as the Martti Ahtisaari Plan. The article covers the period from the end of the NATO military aggression against the FRY (June 1999) to February 17, 2008 – the starting point of the creation of the quasistate of Kosovo. The materials of the article can be used in the educational process within the "International Relations" and "Political Science" program tracks.

This article deals with the issue of self-preservation of elderly people when learning to work on a computer from the point of view of information and psychological security. The necessity of solving new socio-psychological problems is indicated: to develop the ability to give a correct assessment of a specific information threat, to prevent the negative impact of the information environment, to resist negative factors, and to contribute to improving the quality of life. The purpose of counseling elderly people is to develop their ability to understand the problem of the negative impact of the information environment on psychological and physiological health, to be able to apply methods to ensure information and psychological security. Consulting and educational work with the elderly and employees of social institutions engaged in professional activities directly related to the above category should be aimed at preventing cases of fraudulent activities. Consulting work with them should not only meet the general principles of building psychological contact, but also cause an understanding of the importance of compliance with security in the digital sphere. Elderly people develop the ability to assess correctly a specific information threat and prevent the negative impact of the information environment by providing adequate resistance to negative factors and contributing to improving their quality of life. It is increasingly difficult for older people to navigate threats, unmotivated anxiety increases, depressiveness appears and becomes fixed, and asocial personality traits are formed. At the present time, it is necessary to consider the formation of information and computer literacy as a mechanism to counteract the negative impact of the information environment and a necessary condition for developing an effective strategy for the social adaptation of elderly people.

The high level of development of culture and art in modern Russia requires appropriate training of employees for the theater and concert complex. Well-trained specialists will be able to find a job and employment. In the labor market in the field of art and culture, there is creative competition. Therefore, the training of bachelors at the higher educational institutions should be guided by the requirements of the labor market in this area, and the higher educational institutions should produce competitive specialists in creative professions. In the higher education system of modern Russia, the issue of improving the quality of teaching of special (major) disciplines, as well as all subjects included in the training program, is on the agenda of the department collectives. The program trajectory, which is set through the Federal State Educational Standards, is associated with a certain experiment in modeling competencies based on accepted professional standards. An important component is the position of the higher educational institution and the right to develop competencies based on the experience, profile of the university and the composition of the teaching staff. Higher educational institutions have certain academic freedoms and use their opportunities to achieve a higher quality of bachelor's and master's degree training. The article deals with various aspects of vocal pedagogy, the formation of the necessary professional and general cultural competencies, and individual work with students. Such problems are raised by teachers of creative higher educational institutions. We considered it possible to enter into the discussion and conduct a friendly polemic.

At present, technology is developing at an incredible speed, and this has affected television and radio stations. The number of channels for getting information has increased with the arrival of such platforms as Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram. In fact, these social networks have taken most of the audience of young people and quickly gained momentum in different age categories. The advertisers must let people know about their products. One can spend millions of dollars on advertising, but miss a great flow of customers and consider it an unforgivable mistake to launch ads not in primetime, which is called "the best time" for this reason. In the article, the author examines what prime-time is, the characteristics of television prime-time, the characteristics of prime-time of radio stations, identifies the functions of prime-time, the cost of advertising on TV channels, the evolution of prime-time with time and the arrival of new technologies. The author of the article, a well-known practical scientist, director, and theorist of the art of directing, analyzes the problem of prime-time (the best time) on Russian television and radio stations in the framework of a scientific approach. The material of the article, which contains a significant share of novelty, can be used in the educational process in the fields of "TV Journalism" and "Public Relations".

The article examines the role of customs authorities in ensuring economic security, determines the nature of the impact of the digital economy on the specifics of the functions performed by customs authorities, and analyzes possible risks and challenges, as well as potential ways to neutralize them. In the current conditions of the intensive desire of states to make the rapid transition to the technologies of the V and VI technological structures, it is natural to form a set of elements of such a way of organizing economic relations as the digital economy. In this context, the impact of the developing components of the digital economy on the directions and specifics of the activities of not only private organizations, but also state bodies, including customs, is obvious. The article shows that in the context of the formation of the digital economy, customs authorities, being one of the subjects of ensuring the economic security of the state, continue to implement their main functions and tasks, while adjusting the used methods in the direction of an increasingly deep application of ICT. The general change in working methods caused by the development of the digital economy, as it was mentioned above, leads to the transformation of the chosen ways of solving the set tasks and performing the assigned functions, but does not affect their semantic essence.

In the context of modern economy and digital transformation of the system of public relations, reconsidering the role and place of a person in an organization, the attitude to a person as an individual has changed dramatically. The processes of successful planning of the organization's personnel requirements are connected and involve obtaining answers to certain questions, including: how many employees will be required; employees of what qualifications will be required; when and where employees will be required; how and in what way to attract the necessary employees; how to better use employees in accordance with their knowledge, skills, abilities and their internal motivation; how and in what way to organize and provide conditions for the training and development of employees; how to implement the processes of using and laying off redundant employees; what costs or expenses will be necessary for the implementation of planned activities related to personnel requirements, and many other questions. Recently, any modern organization has increasingly linked its activities and its development with a specific capital – human capital. The article deals with the provisions related to the planning of personnel (human resources) and certain aspects of such planning, in particular, planning the organization's need for personnel for a certain planning period for its development and implementation of the intended indicators and plans. The materials of the article can be used within the "Economics and Management" and "Management" program tracks.

The article is devoted to the most common structures of intervals and chords, which are studied in the course of elementary music theory and mastered in practice in solfeggio lessons. The author has repeatedly encountered the fact that certain structures are explained out of system, and, as a result, they do not linger in the memory of students for a long time. On the pages of many textbooks, it is possible to find more or less disparate information. However, according to the author, the issue is not only the textbooks, but also the common way of teaching, when one chord is studied separately without connection with the other chords and/or intervals, then another one, and so on. This presentation of information seems unproductive: sometimes even numerous repetitions do not save the situation, and the material does not always fit in the heads of even the most diligent students. The author of this publication demonstrates how to combine seemingly heterogeneous sound structures into two large blocks and fit simpler structures into more complex ones. The article also shows some patterns in the construction and resolution of intervals and chords. A systematic and logical approach to the study of sound structures is indispensable, especially in the case of low-performing students, who, in a short period of time, do not have time to learn the material from textbooks, even with a strong desire. In the end, the author comes to the conclusion that the main task of theoretical disciplines is to contribute to developing the ear for music, and not only to develop mathematical and logical thinking.

The article is an analysis of one of the most acute and pressing problems of our time - the acquisition by separatist forces of the Kosovar Albanians, represented mainly by the former leaders of the so-called KLA engaged in guerrilla and sabotage warfare and the Albanian politicians completely subordinated to it by that time, of actual independence, announced by Pristina on February 17, 2008. The authors concentrated their efforts on identifying the role of the UN (the UN Security Council and the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo and Metohija - UNMIK), the United States, the EU, and Serbia from the beginning of the negotiation, illegitimate from the international law point of view, considering not the implementation of the binding UN Security Council Resolution No. 1244, but completely contradicting negotiations on the status of Kosovo and Metohija, the failure of which nevertheless led, as planned, to the proclamation of the creation of the Republic of Kosovo and its subsequent strengthening on the basis of the principles underlying the preparation and conduct of these negotiations, as well as the Martti Ahtisaari Plan. The article covers the period from the end of the NATO military aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (June 1999) to February 17, 2008 - the starting point of the creation of the quasi-state of Kosovo. The article materials can be used within the educational process in the framework of the courses "International Relations", "Political Science".
