Aim. To present the results of a review of dissertations defended in 2001–2025 in Russia in the field of educational forecasting, identifying thematic areas and gaps, as well as possible prospects for scientific developments. Methodology. The research is based on a descriptive approach, which involves recording and systematizing data and analyzing the current situation. Content analysis for the quantitative measurement of dissertations and thematic blocks, classification method for the purpose of systematizing the dissertations themselves by relevant keywords to obtain a sample corresponding to the research objective, thematic analysis method for the purpose of identifying thematic blocks in the data array, and critical analysis method for identifying thematic gaps and potential prospects for further research were used as research methods. The source for the analysis was an array of dissertations in the field of predictive studies of educational development, which were defended between 2001 and 2025 in Russia according to the pedagogical codes of scientific specialties of the nomenclature of the Higher Attestation Commission of the Russian Federation. In total, the sample included 164 dissertations, of which 137 were Cand. Sci. theses, and 27 Dr. Sci. theses. Results. The study revealed that a total of 136 theses were defended in the 2000s, 28 in the 2010s, and 0 in the first five years of 2020. The three most frequently occurring thematic blocks in dissertation research were forecasting as a skill (competence, ability, potential, skills), for example, for the development and implementation of projects, the prevention of deviant behavior, etc. (including among teachers), forecasting educational outcomes, learning success, or learning difficulties, a predictive model in the management of an educational organization (advanced development), monitoring based on forecasting and evaluation, often associated with strategic management, including in the region. The sample did not include dissertation studies devoted to the development of pedagogical phenomena, teaching aids, the transformation of professions and models of professional activity, or the impact of technology on education and training. These topics can form the basis for further research. Research implications . The scientific novelty of the research lies in its identification of thematic clusters of dissertations defended in 2001–2025 in the field of educational prognostics and the identification of thematic gaps. At a theoretical level, the study’s results expand our understanding of the current state of educational prognostics in the Russian scientific community, contributing to prognostic theory and the history of its development. Its practical significance lies in its formulation of recommendations for future research. Conclusions. Prognostic research on the future development of education in the form of dissertations is currently virtually nonexistent. Forecasting is increasingly becoming a method used in conjunction with other methods in other fields (economics, sociology). Foresight practices, which became popular in the 2010s, will undoubtedly remain in demand, as they, by evolving into more scalable and accessible formats for a wider audience, make the development of educational forecasting research as a field possible and influence educational policy.

Vision+ pay television. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to gain an in-depth understanding of Public Relations practices at MNC Channels. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the role of Public Relations is not yet fully optimized, especially in the strategic decision-making process. Public Relations functions more as a technical implementer of communication rather than as a management advisor. This condition has an impact on the less than optimal efforts to strengthen the Vision+ brand image. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the role of Public Relations as an expert prescriber, communication facilitator, problem-solving facilitator, and communication technician to support the company's communication strategy and improve brand image. In addition, this study also found that internal coordination, utilization of digital media, and consistency of communication messages are important factors in building positive public perception. The lack of integration between the Public Relations function and strategic management causes the messages delivered to be not fully aligned with brand positioning

Objective: To analyze the current global development status and research hotspots of dental trauma-related studies, to provide references for future research in this field in China. Methods: Literature related to dental trauma, published from the inception of the Web of Science Core Collection up to December 27, 2025, was retrieved.

Over the past four years, return on equity has declined and reached a low point in 2018 in the Kenyan Insurance Sector compared to the last five years. Additionally, during the same period, the expenditure ratio in the sector has grown from Kenya shillings 158 billion in 2016 to Kenya shillings 188 billion in 2020, indicating a rise in underwriting costs for general insurance without a corresponding increase in the premiums charged for these risks. This study analyzes the way in which strategic management processes impact the performance of organizations in 10 different insurance companies in Nairobi, Kenya. The types of strategic management processes that were assessed in this study included; environmental scanning, strategic planning, strategy implementation, and monitoring & evaluation. The theoretical framework for this study included; Balanced Scorecard model/theory, Structural Contingency theory, and Institutional theory. Description research methodology was used. The research population was 10 insurance companies that were still operational in Nairobi City County as of 2024, with a total sample population of 2094 respondents from each of the 10 insurance companies. Stratified sampling method was used to sample the study the population. The sample size consisted of 209 respondents. The tool employed in collecting data was semi-structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done by employing descriptive statistical values like mean and standard deviation. Moreover, determination of relationship was achieved by using inferential statistics like regression and correlation analyses methods. Tables and figures helped in presenting findings. The study’s findings were that environmental scanning (β=0.0152, p=0.003), strategic planning (β=0.0264, p=0.003), strategy implementation (β=0.0331, p=0.004) and monitoring and evaluation (β=0.0412, p=0.003) had led significant improvement on the insurance companies’ performances. The conclusion was that environmental scanning of these companies had assisted in identifying the market and customer behaviors and these companies could tailor their products to respond to these changes appropriately. The companies had a good strategic planning which had enabled them to achieve clear and proper directions for improved coordination across departments and making the employees to focus towards achieving the same goals. Proper implementation of strategies had made these companies in effectively streamlining their processes, minimize redundancy and expenses. Continuous monitoring allowed these companies to monitor effectively their operations resulting to better decision making process and delivery of services. The proposed recommendation were that the insurance companies should look for more enhanced integration of technology for improved collection and procession of data. They should use data analytics to understand client behavior and market trends, enabling tailored products and services. Leadership must set clear, measurable goals to align teams and resources effectively. The companies should adopt tech platforms for real-time customer insights to improve decision-making.

This study analyzes the correlations between strategic school management and pedagogical leadership as fundamental pillars for the promotion of educational quality in contemporary educational institutions. The general objective is to investigate institutional practices that favor the strengthening of democratic management and the improvement of teaching-learning processes from the perspective of school effectiveness. The methodological procedures adopted are based on an integrative and qualitative bibliographic review, grounded in real, indexed scientific productions published between the years twenty-twenty and twenty-twenty-five. The analysis of the evidence reveals that the manager's leadership transcends the administrative sphere, requiring direct engagement with teacher training and the monitoring of academic performance indicators. The results indicate that schools adopting distributed and participatory leadership models show higher levels of community engagement and better indices of basic education development. It is found that school management centered on pedagogical leadership acts as a catalyst for innovation, allowing the overcoming of structural challenges by strengthening the political-pedagogical project. It is concluded that the promotion of educational quality depends on the synergistic articulation between the operational efficiency of management and the capacity to lead change processes that value the subjectivity of school actors.

Innovative development of a state, which has recently been one of the priority directions of the Russian Federation’s strategy, is determined by the aggregate potential of its territories. This makes leveling regional capabilities an imperative of modern economic policy. The aim of this study was to apply an author-developed methodology to create a rating of Russian regions based on their level of innovation potential and to formulate recommendations for the development of groups of these regions. The development of an authentic methodology was based on quantity and quality analysis of 25 existing worldwide practices for assessing the innovation potential of a country’s substitute entities. Based on the author’s methodology, which includes 15 weighted indicators covering regional basic conditions, investments in science and technology, as well as regional innovation activity, an assessment of the innovation potential of 85 constituent entities of the Russian Federation was conducted and their rating was constructed. The analyzed regions are classified into three groups: “Innovation Leaders,” “Moderate Innovators,” and “Beginners in Innovation.” For each group, a set of targeted state policy measures is formulated, aimed both at strengthening their own potential and at reducing interregional inequality through cooperation and technology transfer. The obtained results and the proposed methodology for assessing the innovation potential of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can be used by public authorities to form a balanced regional policy, as well as by the business community for strategic planning.

Diaconal service is one of the essential callings of the church, yet in practice, it often gets trapped in a charitable model that is reactive, sporadic, and unsustainable. Consequently, such service fails to produce genuine social transformation for its recipients. This article demonstrates that to revitalize diaconal ministry, the church requires a new paradigm that integrates the spirituality of servant leadership with the discipline of strategic management. Servant leadership provides the theological foundation, vision, and ethical motivation centered on the serving example of Christ. Meanwhile, strategic management offers a practical framework, encompassing planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating, to ensure that the vision is executed effectively, efficiently, and accountably. Through a qualitative approach using the literature study method, the author analyzes and synthesizes these two concepts to construct a transformative diaconia model. The result is a holistic paradigm where spirituality and strategy work synergistically, guiding the church to move from merely providing momentary assistance toward planned and long-term impactful community empowerment.

Blood donation plays a critical role in modern healthcare systems by supporting emergency surgeries, trauma treatment, maternal care, cancer therapy, and management of chronic diseases. However, many blood donation systems continue to rely on fragmented donor databases, manual communication methods, delayed updates, and geographically disconnected coordination processes. During emergencies, these limitations often lead to critical delays in locating compatible blood donors, thereby affecting patient outcomes [1][2]. This research presents Blood Buddy, a smart web-based geospatial platform designed to improve real-time blood donor management through intelligent digital coordination and location-aware services. The proposed system integrates a high-performance backend developed using FastAPI, an efficient MongoDB database with geospatial indexing, and a modern React-based frontend featuring interactive map visualization through React-Leaflet and OpenStreetMap services [3][5][15]. The platform enables users to register as donors, submit urgent blood requests, search for nearby compatible donors, and monitor real-time donor availability within a specified radius. Pydantic-based validation models ensure reliable data quality and secure input handling [4][11]. Experimental prototype testing demonstrates donor search times below five seconds, API response latency near 120 milliseconds, and accurate radius-based donor discovery. The platform is expected to significantly reduce conventional donor search time from 30–60 minutes to less than one minute during emergencies [6][9]. Future enhancements include mobile applications, multilingual interfaces, machine learning-based donor prediction, blockchain-backed records, and healthcare system integration. Blood Buddy represents a scalable and practical step toward smarter healthcare resource management.

The article proves that the effectiveness of preparing future heads of educational institutions for professional activity depends on the development of their skills to solve problems arising during the modeling of the strategic development of an educational institution, as well as the mastery of the specifics of strategic management of an educational organization. The purpose of the article is to define the pedagogical conditions for forming strategic management competence in future educational leaders within master’s degree programs. It is established that the strategic management competence of future heads of educational institutions is an integrative quality of the future professional’s personality, formed in the educational process. It includes a system of knowledge, skills, abilities, interests, needs, motives, values, experience, social norms, and rules of conduct necessary for the strategic management of an educational institution. This is manifested in the ability to initiate strategic changes, perform strategic analysis, develop development strategies, strategic plans, and strategic programs for the educational institution and implement them. Criteria and indicators for the formation of strategic management competence in higher education students are identified: cognitive, motivational-value, and activity-behavioral. The pedagogical conditions for forming strategic management competence in future educational leaders during master’s training are substantiated, including: creating an effective learning environment in the process of mastering strategic management knowledge and skills; using the latest teaching technologies; and orienting students toward conducting scientific research in the field of strategic management.
