Культурно-идеологические проблемы в сфере адаптации и интеграции мигрантов

Relevance of migration issues and the need for the development of the state policy in the indicated sphere have appeared shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Starting from the 1990s, the migration sphere has witnessed multiple changes that affected, inter alia, the features of migrant adaptation and integration in the Russian environment. The development of the social life and economic relations has resulted in the origination of new demands of the society and new goals for migrant arrival in the Russian Federation. In 2022 alone, 3.47 million migrants arrived in the country, which is by 871 thousand people more than in 2021. The development of migration predetermines the importance of the assurance of security of the society and avoidance of an increase in the number of offenses and crimes, application of mechanisms that ensure protection of interests of each society member and elimination of conflicts between representatives of different ethnic groups, which is impossible without migrant adaptation and integration in the Russian society including in the cultural and ideological aspect. In this article, the author presents an analysis of measures implemented within the framework of the migration policy for adaptation and integration of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation, offers areas of solution of cultural and ideological problems encountered by migrants, the society and state in the course of adaptation and integration.

Undergraduate Students’ Engagement in Project-Based Learning with an Authentic Context

Despite the widespread adoption of project-based learning in higher education, few empirical studies have explored its impact on situating learners within real-world contexts and enhancing student engagement. This study situates undergraduates in a technology integration course in an authentic context to increase the levels of engagement of the students. The project, requested by real-world clients from an elementary school, enabled students to develop learning resources around topics in need that aligned with state standards. We expected students engaged with real-world clients to demonstrate higher levels of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement compared to those involved in non-real-world context projects. The results of our mixed-methods research revealed increased student engagement with an authentic, real-world context compared to a non-real-world context. The integration of real-world context not only heightened student involvement in the project and strengthened group dynamics but also facilitated a deeper understanding of technology integration and service learning. Implications for future research are also discussed.

The Role of the Visegrad Group in the European Security System

The changes taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, which began in 1989, included pri-marily the internal and foreign policy of the four countries that make up the Visegrad Group, i.e. the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. The transformations also concerned rela-tions with the newly formed states after the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the course of European and Euro-Atlantic integration. The aim of the article is to indicate the role of the Visegrad Group in the European security system, especially in the face of the war in Ukraine or the migration crisis. An important element of the functioning of this regional organization is its cooperation with the EU or with other organizations. The research hypothesis is as follows: the future of the Visegrad Group makes sense and brings its members more benefits than losses. The article uses the analysis method. The key issue that needs to be answered will be the prospect of further activity of the Visegrad Group in the face of new threats. Will the member states of the Visegrad Group meet the challenges of the twenty-first century? Will they play an important role in shaping European security?

Developing Pre-Service Biology Teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge through a TPACK-Based Course

<p style="text-align:justify">This study investigated pre-service biology teachers' (PSBTs’) technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) development. A TPACK-based technology integration course (TPACK-BTIC) was implemented. The study employed a convergent parallel mixed-methods approach. A TPACK survey questionnaire and interview schedule were used to collect data from 50 PSBTs. The quantitative data were analysed by computing means, standard deviations, and dependent samples t-tests, while qualitative data were analysed using deductive thematic analysis based on the TPACK domains. Findings indicate that the intervention positively affected PSBTs’ TPACK development with significant improvements in technological knowledge (TK), technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK), technological content knowledge (TCK) and overall technological pedagogical content knowledge domains. In contrast, pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and pedagogical knowledge domains showed no statistically significant improvements. PSBTs’ engagement in microteaching lesson study, reflection on using technology, and collaboratively designing lesson plans improved PSBTs’ TPACK domains. The study recommends that teacher training institutions consider implementing content-based technology integration courses that engage pre-service teachers in microteaching lesson study, reflecting on technology use and collaborative designing of curriculum materials that involve using technology to support their TPACK development.</p>

Picturing digital equity in the curriculum: Cultivating preservice teachers’ digital equity mindsets in a technology integration course

Although access to technology has substantially increased in U.S. schools, inequities in technology usage persist, especially in classrooms serving disproportionately higher numbers of minoritized students. Driven by expert recommendations for increased teacher preparation focused on addressing this phenomenon, we sought to cultivate preservice teachers' (PSTs') digital equity mindsets in a stand-alone technology integration course. A qualitative analysis of pre- and post-course drawings and written reflections where PSTs indicated their intentions to build digital equity in the curriculum showed a significant evolution of their mindsets in five related dimensions of digital equity. This study provides novel insight into how PSTs' digital equity mindsets can be effectively cultivated, and how doing so might engender more equitable technology integration practices in the K-12 curriculum.

STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES OF CULTURAL POLICY OF UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COURSE OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION

The purpose of the research deals with proving the need for the formation of strategic foundations of cultural policy in Ukraine for the conditions of military aggression and the post-war period, taking into account the requirements of the state course of European integration. The current state of the cultural sphere in Ukrainian society is demonstrated to be characterised by at least the following factors: the destruction of a large number of infrastructure facilities of cultural institutions due to military operations, a significant reduction in the financing of culture from state and local budgets and the requirement to learn European practices in the implementation of cultural policy as a result of Ukraine's acquisition of the status of an EU member. Given these circumstances, the political class and the administrative establishment of Ukraine are faced with the task of creating a renewed cultural policy that would be able to overcome the losses and traumas of the war period, ensure cultural development in the post-war period, aimed at forming a stable identity of Ukrainians. Hence, the task arises through the means of culture of forming the European component of Ukrainian identity, since the condition for the success of the course of European integration is the need to master the values on which the European community is built. It is established that an updated strategy plan for cultural development is required to address these issues. The necessity of modernization of the legislative base of cultural policy is shown, in particular, the approval of decentralization of the functioning of government bodies, strengthening support for culture from the state and municipal budgets, creating a legislative base for public-private partnership in the cultural sphere, strengthening the information component of the cultural process.

Implementation of smart building management systems for residential complex “PANORAMA”

The European Union (EU) and Ukraine, which is following a precise European integration course, have a priority to improve energy efficiency in order to prevent negative environmental impact and achieve climate neutrality. It is known that more than 40% of the energy produced is accounted for by energy consumption in existing buildings. Analysis of energy consumption reveals a high percentage of energy losses due to poor management, which necessitates the development and implementation of systems and tools for improved energy management. Therefore, the development of energy efficient building management systems using modern engineering and technical solutions to control and optimise energy consumption is a relevant and promising way to solve the issue of energy resources saving, increase energy efficiency and enhance energy independence. Within the framework of the international research grant “A novel decentralized edge-enabled PREsCriptivE and ProacTive framework for increased energy efficiency and well-being in residential buildings” – PRECEPT under the Horizon 2020 programme, smart building management system was developed and implemented at the residential complex “PANORAMA” in Dnipro city, Ukraine.

ІНСТИТУЦІЙНІ ПРІОРИТЕТИ АНТИКОРУПЦІЙНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ УКРАЇНИ

It is noted that the topic of corruption is relevant due to the emergence of new areas for committing corruption crimes, new institutional mechanisms for responding to corruption, and new requirements of Ukraine’s partner states. The war with Russia, Ukraine’s accelerated course towards European integration, and high-profile anti-corruption disclosures are the factors that increase scientific interest in the topic of corruption and mechanisms for preventing and combating it. The purpose of the study is to identify the institutional priorities of Ukraine’s anticorruption policy. The objectives of the study are as follows: 1) to find out how the Ukrainian government responds to the requirements of international institutions to implement reforms in the field of preventing and combating corruption; 2) to determine how the war with Russia and the acceleration of European integration processes in Ukraine have affected the problem of corruption and the modification of the national model of preventing and combating it; 3) to identify which institutional obstacles intensify/slow down anti-corruption processes in Ukraine. The features of Ukraine’s anti-corruption policy at the present stage are studied. The main results and problems in implementing the recommendations of international anticorruption institutions are analysed. The problem of preventing and combating corruption is considered through the prism of the war and the prospects for postwar reconstruction, as well as Ukraine’s European integration course. It is stated that the Russian aggression has caused new corruption challenges, the number of which is growing in wartime, mobilisation of persons liable for military service, restoration of the de-occupied territories, etc. Priority areas for further institutional reforms in the field of preventing and combating various types of corruption are identified. It is argued that the success of the anti-corruption reform in Ukraine depends on the political will of the authorities, consolidation of efforts of the state institutions and civil society. It is noted that the current changes in the institutional design of the national system of preventing and combating corruption are not yet complete and need to be deepened to meet the needs of wartime and ensure largescale post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

Investing in Ukraine during the war and prospects for investment processes in the postwar period

This article analyzes the current state of the investment market in Ukraine. The impact of Russian military aggression on the investment attractiveness of our country is studied. During this study, all investment opportunities for existing and potentially new Ukrainian investors were analyzed. This study was based on the results of a survey of active Ukrainian investors. The study identified negative factors that affected the investment project market in Ukraine during the war and in the postwar period. Among them were the following: the unstable economic situation in the country, an imperfect legal framework for investor protection, military aggression by Russia and the lack of war risk insurance during the war, and the general economic crisis. The study also identified positive factors influencing investment processes in Ukraine. Among them were the following: the introduction of a visa-free regime, Ukraine’s active foreign economic policy, its association with the European Union, Ukraine's integration course into NATO, and the abolition of export duties and quotas. Possible areas for investment in Ukraine during martial law and in the postwar period were identified. In addition, the problem of attracting foreign investment during the military aggression against Ukraine was analyzed. The possibilities of attracting domestic and foreign investment in the Ukrainian investment project market were considered. The main areas for investment in the country were identified as the defense industry, energy, agriculture, metallurgy, logistics, infrastructure, innovative technologies, and others. For a more detailed analysis, the investment potential of each sector was determined. The largest investment potential was noted in the energy sector (UAH 177 billion), logistics and infrastructure (UAH 123 billion). Woodworking (UAH 5 billion) and investments in natural resources (UAH 5.6 billion) were the least attractive for investors. This article analyzes in detail the investment opportunities in each sector. The article also considers the possibility of shifting international relations from the anti-Putin coalition to closer economic relations, in particular by attracting foreign investors to the Ukrainian investment project market.

Legislation and practice of observing of human rights in Turkey in terms of European integration processes in the country

The relevance of the stated topic is determined by the constant decline in the level of democracy in the Republic of Turkey over the past few years, which is characterised by the decline in the development of the fundamental rights and freedoms of its citizens. Arbitrariness in the judicial system, international law violations, antidemocratic legislation is the chosen course for deeper European integration and has every chance to remain an exclusively imaginary strategy without its external embodiment. In this regard, this work is aimed at analysing Turkish legislation in the area of human rights and determining its compliance with the principle of the rule of law. Also, the study is focused on covering the essence of the effective democratic governance, controversial political and legal decisions of the Turkish government, as well as Turkey’s political problems in its relations with the European Union. The leading methods of the study were theoretical methods of generalisation and analysis, with the help of which the current factors inhibiting European integration processes in the state were comprehensively considered, as well as the method of studying regulatory documentation, which made it possible to analyse the national legal framework and the current state of compliance with international treaties in the area of human rights protection. The article reveals the importance of the rule of law and freedom in the fight against discriminatory manifestations within the country, as well as the need to develop a protected legal framework as a necessary criterion for membership of the European Union. At the same time, the gradual waning of democracy and the reinforcement of authoritarianism in the Republic of Turkey were substantiated. The materials of this scientific work are intended to draw the public’s attention to the democratic freedom issue and especially its absence, and the obtained conclusions will be a foundation for further practical studies.

ПОБУДОВА МЕХАНІЗМУ ІННОВАЦІЙНОГО РОЗВИТКУ СУМСЬКОГО РЕГІОНУ В ПІСЛЯВОЄННИЙ ПЕРІОД

Considered modern issues of innovative development as a factor in the process of world integration and the negative effect of military actions on innovative activity in Ukraine; the following issues are highlighted, which do not lose their relevance at the moment: innovative development of the regions of Ukraine, in particular Sumy Oblast; innovative policy of the state in the conditions of conducting military operations; the importance of innovative infusions in the revival of economic structures of Ukraine in the post-war period; innovative aspects in the field of agro-industrial policy; management of innovative agricultural projects; initiative of the state in solving the problems of preservation of agrarian resources. It is substantiated that the prospect of revitalizing the priority areas of the economy with a positive outcome of the end of military operations on the territory of Ukraine (including Sumy Oblast) on the basis of innovative and sustainable development is real. In specific regions (in Sumy Oblast in particular) of Ukraine, already acquired knowledge in the creation and development of cluster agricultural systems can be used as practical experience in solving local and global market problems. The significance of the systematic implementation of innovative national policy, which provides for the development and implementation of priority areas of innovative development, scientific research aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, is emphasized. In the agricultural sector, under conditions of limited production resources, there is a need to prioritize innovative infusions. It was determined that it is unacceptable to continue the process of restoring the Ukrainian economy in the form of an agrarian-raw material model in the post-war period, which could lead to the final "agrarianization" and economic depression of the country. Reconstruction of Ukraine after the end of the war on its territory should be aimed at organizing the industrial and innovative structure of the economy on the basis of Industry 4.0. The regions of Ukraine should develop and come up with the initiative of implementing such a scenario of post-war economic development, which would start the implementation of the concept of a comprehensive plan for the post-war revival of the country on the latest and innovative bases. The course for European integration of Ukraine must be clearly defined.

WAR AS A CHALLENGE TO ROAD SAFETY: DAMAGE TO SOCIETY AND THE ECONOMY OF UKRAINE

Purpose of the article. Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine has become a real challenge and threat to Ukrainian society in various aspects of life. The lack of financial resources due to the defensive nature of the economy caused by the war makes it difficult to ensure road safety in Ukraine and to prevent deaths and injuries on the roads. The topical issue of the state of road safety in Ukraine is also related to its European integration course, as road safety is a priority European policy task for EU member states. The aim of this article is to conduct a criminological analysis of the state of road safety in Ukraine during the war, and to determine the damage caused by road traffic injuries and fatalities to the Ukrainian economy and society as a whole, taking into account the war situation. Research conclusion. The assessment of the state of road safety in Ukraine is based on official statistical information from the General Prosecutor's Office and the Department of Patrol Police, and the theoretical conclusions are based on the results of an anonymous survey of Ukrainian drivers on their compliance with traffic rules. The study of the level of road traffic accidents with fatalities and injuries in Ukraine has shown that the state of road safety deteriorated during the war in comparison with the pre-war period. The impact of the war on this condition is diverse and depends on the dislocation of the region in Ukraine and the intensity of combat operations in a given area. It has been established that among the factors significantly influencing the quantitative and qualitative indicators of violations in the field of road safety during the war, the most significant are the destruction of objects of road and transport infrastructure, a decrease in the effectiveness of patrol police activities, the construction of road fortifications, etc. The article also reveals the characteristics of the road safety system in wartime, emphasising the inadmissibility of extrapolating the state of road safety from the pre-war period to wartime, including in the direction of preventing violations in this area.

Structuring the budget process of the most powerful countries in the world: the United States, China, and Japan

In the conditions of overcoming the domestic crisis budget phenomena, the implementation of the chosen course of European integration and Euro-Atlantic integration, further development of the budget process based on the implementation of the best examples of the budget sphere of developed countries in the domestic budget sphere is an urgent need for the financial present of our country. The article structures the budget process of the United States, China and Japan through a detailed review of their budget systems and budget processes, as the most developed in terms of both GDP and the state budget of the country of the world. The authors identified and analyzed the budget legislation of the above-mentioned countries, identified the components of the budget systems of the latter, identified the powers of all branches of government regarding the budget process in the USA, China and Japan, described the step-by-step components of the budget process in these countries, worked out budget principles as part of the principles of budgeting and principles of the budget process in the USA, China and Japan, formed models of the budget process in the above-mentioned countries, including: budget principles, principles of the budget process, stages of the budget process with procedural powers. The structuring of the budget process of the USA, China and Japan was carried out, as well as the following comparative analysis allowed us to conclude about the strengths of both the budget process of the PRC (which is manifested in its clear regulation, systematization and legally fixed surplus of the state budget), and the USA and Japan (which is manifested in the repeated consistency of budget indicators at all levels and the level of their discussion and the openness of the latter during the first two stages of budget processes in these countries). It is concluded that these positions will be introduced into domestic practice, which will contribute to more effective implementation of all stages of the budget process, which, in turn, will help to stabilize the public finance system of Ukraine.
