Embracing the informative missingness and silent gene in analyzing biologically diverse samples.

Bioinformatics software tools are essential to identify informative molecular features that define different phenotypic sample groups. Among the most fundamental and interrelated tasks are missing value imputation, signature gene detection, and differential pattern visualization. However, many commonly used analytics tools can be problematic when handling biologically diverse samples if either informative missingness possess high missing rates with mixed missing mechanisms, or multiple sample groups are compared and visualized in parallel. We developed the ABDS tool suite specifically for analyzing biologically diverse samples. Collectively, a mechanism-integrated group-wise pre-imputation scheme is proposed to retain informative missingness associated with signature genes, a cosine-based one-sample test is extended to detect group-silenced signature genes, and a unified heatmap is designed to display multiple sample groups. We describe the methodological principles and demonstrate the effectiveness of three analytics tools under targeted scenarios, supported by comparative evaluations and biomedical showcases. As an open-source R package, ABDS tool suite complements rather than replaces existing tools and will allow biologists to more accurately detect interpretable molecular signals among phenotypically diverse sample groups.

Study of directions of unification of technology transfer in ukraine with the regulation of the European Union

Problem setting. In modern economic conditions, the key to effective economic development of any country is the development of the production sphere of the national economy. At the same time, its level depends on the penetration of knowledge-intensive, advanced and breakthrough technologies. Most economically developed countries even implement integrated state policies aimed at stimulating and scaling technology transfer processes. Thanks to this, the number of those technologies that are implemented in the sphere of public production increases, and the share of highly competitive products increases significantly. The economic system of Ukraine is no exception to this rule. Thus, since 2006, Ukraine has had a special official document the Law of Ukraine “On State Regulation of Activities in the Field of Technology Transfer”. Its main task is to determine the requirements of how the state (in the form of authorized bodies) will contribute to the scaling process of technology transfer. The course announced by Ukraine for joining the European Union (hereinafter referred to as “the EU”) imposes on it special obligations regarding the unification of regulatory approaches to the identification of technology transfer with EU requirements. The specified situation determines, on the one hand, the relevance of scientific research on this topic, and places on scientists the task of forming relevant proposals. It is science that should shape them and determine effective directions, methods and forms of unification of the principles of functioning of Ukraine with EU requirements and thereby stabilize and intensify the transfer of technologies. Purpose of research is to develop methods and techniques for unifying the regulatory approach to defining the essence of technology transfer in Ukraine with the requirements of the European Union. This will make it possible to formulate recommendations for the Ukrainian public authorities when they implement managerial decisions within the framework of the State technology policy and form the basis for proposals for amending its national regulatory acts. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following interrelated tasks: (1) to analyze the state of regulatory support for technology transfer under EU law; (2) to study the state of regulatory support for technology transfer under Ukrainian law; (3) to formulate proposals on the main directions of unification of legal regulation of technology transfer under Ukrainian law with the requirements of EU law. Analysis of recent research and publications. An analysis of recent research and publications on the topic shows that many scholars have considered the general issues of state intervention in the national economy. The problem of the essence of technology transfer has been studied both at the level of independent economic systems and within international organizational entities. Article’s main body. The object of this research is a set of regulatory methods and techniques for determining the content and essence of such a category as technology transfer. Both the requirements of Ukraine and the regulatory approaches of the European Union are studied. The analysis and generalization of the existing world and international approaches to the identification of the essence of technology transfer established that they are not unified among themselves and differ significantly from each other. It has been proven that this does not meet the needs of technology transfer participants and does not meet the strategic goals of Ukraine’s development. The expediency of expanding the existing concept of determining the essence of technology transfer defined in Ukraine is substantiated. Recommendations on directions for the unification of regulatory approaches to the definition of technology transfer with the European Union have been formed. The need to amend the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On State Regulation of Activities in the Field of Technology Transfer” in order to bring it into line with the requirements of the European Union has been proven. Conclusions and prospects for development. It was determined that the current legislation of Ukraine contains a narrower approach to determining the essence of technology transfer. Recommendations on the unification of the requirements of Ukraine with the requirements of the EU, on the issue of identification of technology transfer, have been formed. The expediency of expanding the forms of technology transfer is substantiated by supplementing them with the following: – Transfer of technology during the implementation of special interstate defense and industrial programs. – Transfer of technology within the framework of grant funding and cooperation. – Transfer of technology during the implementation of public procurement. – Transfer of technology as a contribution to the integral property complex (statutory or accumulated capital) of economic entities. – Transfer of technology during the creation of startups.

EFFECTIVE WAYS OF TEACHING INTERRELATED TASKS IN BIOLOGY LESSONS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

The article analyzes the effective ways of learning tasks in unity in biology lessons in secondary schools. It is shown that three important functions of teaching are performed in biology classes: to educate, to educate and develop the personality (student). These listed functions of training should be implemented in unity and not in a phased manner. It is justified in the article that the unified application of the functions of education, development, upbringing, and prediction plays an important role in the formation of the educational culture of students. During the teaching of biological education in the school, the teacher should work on the course of educational training, scientifically correct and in accordance with the plan in the teaching of each course.

Drivers of Russian Industrial Growth in the Face of New Reality

The opportunities for Russia’s economic growth substantiate the relevance of the research in the current conditions. The authors analyze the scientific literature and summarize the approaches to the “locomotives” or “drivers” of growth. In line with the reviewed studies, the authors use the sectoral approach. This considers the important investments presented in different approaches. The purpose of the paper is to identify the sectors of the Russian manufacturing industry that could, with certain government support, act as locomotives of economic growth in the medium and long term. The authors considered the locomotive industries in relation to two interrelated tasks of the investment model of growth. The study uses methods and tools of economic, logical, cause-and-effect analysis, content analysis, as well as forecasting and statistical assessments. The work has identified two groups of engine industries, using forecast-statistical estimates reflecting the impact of external sanctions on the Russian economy. The practical significance of the study is to define the growth driver industries for the further design of measures for the strategic development of these industries.

Sustainable development of the company on the basis of soft total quality management

The article is concerned with studying the impact of soft components of total quality management (TQM) on the company’s environmental and social sustainability. The subject of the research is a set of theoretical, methodical and practical recommendations for implementing the concept of total quality management to ensure sustainable development of a company. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate and develop practical recommendations for identifying the impact of soft TQM on the sustainable development of a company. Achievement of this goal is ensured by fulfilling the following interrelated tasks: to summarise the existing soft TQM practices in the research of scientists, to allocate the features of soft TQM functioning in Ukrainian companies and their success in achieving environmental and social sustainability, to develop recommendations for improving the level of environmental and social sustainability of companies through the implementation of soft TQM practices. The research used general scientific and special methods of cognition: structural-logical, systemic and process approaches, the method of generalisation and comparison, questionnaires, methods of correlation and regression analysis, logical method, method of tabular presentation of data, scientific generalisation. The following results have been obtained: having analysed the work of scientists on the research’s subject, the work of the European Foundation for Quality Management, the aspects of TQM that cover the company’s business activities, as well as the problems that are specific to each of them, have been identified. To identify the level of implementation of detailed issues, a questionnaire was developed and completed by the heads of 68 Ukrainian companies between November 2022 and March 2023. It included a Likert scale assessment of each of the soft TQM dimensions (business management system, HR practices, continuously evolving processes, leading procurement procedures, stakeholder identification, and product competitiveness) based on 28 statements. Five hypotheses were proposed based on the literature on the research topic and our own analytical developments. The data obtained in the course of the survey were analysed using correlation and regression analyses. The results show that two practices – business management systems and human resource management practices – are related to environmental sustainability, while only the business management system is related to social sustainability. The article provides recommendations for supporting the sustainable development of the company. Conclusions. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of TQM practices in ensuring the sustainability of a company’s activities. The business management system affects both environmental and social sustainability of the company. Human resource management practices have a positive impact on environmental sustainability, but not on social sustainability, i.e. organisational factors are key to achieving environmental sustainability. Raising awareness of sustainability is the best way to promote the implementation of procedures that contribute to sustainability. Other TQM practices, such as continuously evolving processes, leading procurement procedures, stakeholder identification, and competitive products, do not affect a company’s environmental and social sustainability. The article raises topics for future research: why human resource management practices and continuously evolving processes do not affect sustainability. It is appropriate to deepen the case studies to identify the mechanisms by which TQM practices contribute to both environmental and social sustainability.

Application of the theory of stakeholders in assessing the investment attractiveness of corporate structures

Purpose of the article is to describe the authors' proposal on the use of the concept of stakeholders in assessing the investment attractiveness of corporate structures, an alternative to traditional fundamental investment analysis.Methods: the basis of the research is the expansion of ideas about the factors affecting the investment attractiveness of the corporate structure on the basis of multi-subject assessments, in accordance with the theory of stakeholders.Results: currently, the investment attractiveness of a large corporate structure is formed under the influence of a variety of financial and nonfinancial factors that depend on actions or judgments broadcast (via the media, the Internet or other modern means of communication), not only by investors, but also by other interested parties. The approach proposed by the authors to assessing investment attractiveness differs in that it is based on the need to meet the information needs of various groups of stakeholders, not just investors. To achieve this goal, two interrelated tasks have been solved in the work. Firstly, the impact of factors influenced by stakeholders on the indicators of investment attractiveness is considered. Secondly, the assessment of investment attractiveness is carried out on the basis of information about the company's solution of environmental, social and other modern tasks.Conclusions And Relevance: the approach considered in the article, which involves the use of the theory of stakeholders to study the factors that influence investment attractiveness, has practical importance for corporate structures. The authors' calculations made on the basis of open information from one of the largest Russian oil and gas companies, PJSC Lukoil, confirm the hypothesis about the correctness of using the theory of stakeholders as another approach to assessing the investment attractiveness of the company. The calculations illustrate the significant closeness of the relationship between indicators traditionally used in assessing investment attractiveness and non-financial indicators that reflect the information needs of not only investors, but also other stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers, financial institutions, the media, environmentalists, trade unions, etc.).

Improvement of Intersatellite Measurements Scheduling to Refine the Accuracy of the Ephemerides of Modern and Prospective GLONASS Orbital Segments

The information technology developed by the authors to ensure the possibility of operation without downloading information by the ground control complex while improving the accuracy of the ephemerides of the existing global navigation satellite systems (GLONASS) midaltitude segment and its promising additions is described. Achieving the stated goals within the framework of the technology under discussion involves the formation of precise ephemerides by solving the following interrelated tasks: improving the accuracy of determining and predicting the ephemerides of navigation satellites in the inertial coordinate system; improvement of methods and algorithms for forecasting and updating the evolution of the Earth’s rotation parameters onboard satellites; and precise synchronization of onboard clocks. The primary attention is paid to the first of the listed tasks, i.e., prediction and refinement of the ephemerides of navigation satellites in the inertial coordinate system, including in the mode of operation of satellite constellations without updating the ephemerides-temporal information. As a base for its solution, it is proposed to use advanced onboard hardware for intersatellite measurements. The basic limitations related to the implementation of intersatellite measurements and their subsequent processing for both midaltitude and advanced space segments of the GLONASS are discussed. The results of the design-ballistic analysis and processing of real and simulated measurements, as well as the preliminary characteristics of the accuracy of the ephemerides estimates obtained in this case onboard, are presented.

IMITATION STRATEGIES IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

On the basis of visualisation maps, five clusters of the content matching of keywords in articles and five stages of the evolutionary development of innovative behavior of enterprises were identified. The results of the research can be used in studying various aspects of the implementation the imitation strategies by business entities.

Wind Power Forecasting Based on WaveNet and Multitask Learning

Accurately predicting the power output of wind turbines is crucial for ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of large-scale power systems. To address the inherent limitations of physical models, statistical models, and machine learning algorithms, we propose a novel framework for wind turbine power prediction. This framework combines a special type of convolutional neural network, WaveNet, with a multigate mixture-of-experts (MMoE) architecture. The integration aims to overcome the inherent limitations by effectively capturing and utilizing complex patterns and trends in the time series data. First, the maximum information coefficient (MIC) method is applied to handle data features, and the wavelet transform technique is employed to remove noise from the data. Subsequently, WaveNet utilizes its scalable convolutional network to extract representations of wind power data and effectively capture long-range temporal information. These representations are then fed into the MMoE architecture, which treats multistep time series prediction as a set of independent yet interrelated tasks, allowing for information sharing among different tasks to prevent error accumulation and improve prediction accuracy. We conducted predictions for various forecasting horizons and compared the performance of the proposed model against several benchmark models. The experimental results confirm the strong predictive capability of the WaveNet–MMoE framework.

Трансформация российского цифрового медиапространства в 2022 г. (структурные и содержательные особенности)

The relevance of the study is determined by the processes of transformation of the Russian mass media policy against the background of the Russian special military operation on the territory of Ukraine. The aim of the work is a comprehensive analysis of digital media content at the national level: information releases of "Channel One" and "Russia-1" TV channel; publications "Gazeta.Ru" and "Komsomol'skaya pravda". The goal determined the solution of the following interrelated tasks: 1) to reveal the structural features of the media under consideration: site navigation, TV release architecture, composition of media materials; 2) to reveal the problem-thematic perspective of media messages; 3) to determine journalistic techniques and methods of covering events in the indicated publications and TV channels. The research methodology is based on the principles of systemic, structural and comparative analysis. The analysis revealed the following: the inclusion of the topic in the rubricators of newspaper websites, new hashtags in social networks; expressiveness of headlines and media materials that shape public opinion; the use of methods of attracting attention and influencing the mass consciousness; high audience engagement in social networks; linguistic diversity of materials, including the introduction of special vocabulary; a new problem-thematic paradigm of news broadcasting; dynamism and saturation of television materials, maximum visualization of military equipment; new faces and characters; strengthening the role of informal actors and their importance; use of historical analogies.

Regional media: lexico-stylistical analysis

The relevance of the study is determined by the fierce competition between traditional, especially print, media and new media, in connection with which it is necessary to determine the most popular format for presenting material to the audience. The purpose of the work is to analyze the lexical and stylistic features of the media in the Republic of Mordovia, to trace how this is related to the demand and popularity of publications among the audience. The goal determined the solution of the following interrelated tasks: (1) conduct an analysis of regional media, identify the most popular information resources; (2) analyze the lexical and stylistic features of the region's media texts; (3) determine how the richness or poverty of the lexical and stylistic palette affects the relevance of the media to the audience. The research methodology is based on the principles of systemic, structural and comparative analysis. The main method of analysis is content analysis. The analysis revealed the following: the lexical and stylistic diversity of regional media directly affects the relevance of the audience, increasing the indicators of engagement and citation. Regional media, focusing on informational genres and dry presentation of content, lose out to media using the full range of lexical and stylistic means, experimenting with genres, including journalistic, and multimedia formats. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a balance between informing and lexical and stylistic "anarchy", which leads to the neglect of journalistic ethics. At the same time, the digital environment is not an obstacle to the use of more complex and larger media texts that have a high audience involvement.

Creation of agro-tourism cluster as the basis of innovative renewal of Kharkiv oblast in the post-war period

The article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of implementing the cluster concept of the development of the tourism industry in the Kharkiv region. The project of the agro-tourism cluster "Slobozhanska kazka" is proposed. The idea of the cluster is to create a chain of various services, where overnight accommodation is organized in one place, quality food in another, and a master class is held. The strength of the cluster is that it creates a collective agritourism product, increases the capacity of the local tourism market and expands the flow of tourists. The subject of the research is the organizational and economic relations that are formed in the process of adaptation and ensuring sustainable interaction of the participants of the market of rural green tourism in accordance with the modern trends of clustering of the economy. The purpose of the work is the development of theoretical and methodological provisions for the improvement of the domestic market of rural green tourism based on the study of the possibilities of implementing the cluster concept in the regions of Ukraine. The achievement of the set goal was ensured by the following interrelated tasks: to characterize the types of active clusters in Ukraine; consider the essence of the concept and structure of an agro-tourism cluster; to develop a Roadmap for the implementation of the cluster concept of Ukraine's economy in the post-war period to support and popularize rural green tourism in Ukraine. The methodological basis of the study consists of a systematic and program-targeted approach, monographic, graphic and economic-statistical methods of scientific research. The following results were obtained.The development of the agro-tourism cluster of the Kharkiv region will allow further application of a comprehensive approach to the development of enterprises in the field of tourism and the organization of promotion of their products both on the domestic market of the region and on the Ukrainian and international markets. The cluster mechanism will promote the innovative activities of its participants, will ensure the development of infrastructure, the expansion of the spectrum and the growth of the quality of their products (goods, works, services), as well as the satisfaction of the collective interests of the participants of the tourism cluster. Conclusions. The Roadmap for the implementation of the cluster concept of Ukraine's economy in the post-war period for 3 years has been developed. These recommendations will make it possible to create a positive image and increase the attractiveness of the territory, form a regional tourist product, increase the flow of tourists and ensure the replenishment of the budget.

REALIZATION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PANDEMIC-ECONOMIC CRISIS

The subject of the study are public relations in the sphere of ensuring the constitutional right to a fair trial in the modern judicial proceedings in Europe and Ukraine. Methodology. The methodological basis of the study are methods of induction and deduction, dialectical-materialistic method, the method of analysis and synthesis, the historical method, which allowed to objectively understand the content and essence of the issues under study. The aim of the article is a theoretical and practical study of the aspects of realization of the constitutional right to a fair trial in the conditions of the pandemic economic crisis. The results of the study showed that the use of any digital technology for tasks related to the administration of justice under anti-epidemic restrictions requires an appropriate legal framework, since the principle of legality should apply to all procedural actions, including remote questioning using messengers. The digitalization of the judiciary itself carries significant risks that lie in the realm of cybersecurity and certain constitutional and even ethical constraints. In particular, both Ukrainian and foreign experience of digital monitoring of persons subject to quarantine restrictions revealed the first threats of leakage of personal information and large-scale government interference in private life, incorrect assessment of information by artificial intelligence, followed by the imposition of controversial fines. Conclusion. The author considers it possible to consider the right to a fair trial in Ukraine as a legal tradition, since this right is not enshrined at the constitutional level. This situation presents several problems: the right to a fair trial depends entirely on the beliefs and sense of justice of the individual law enforcement officer, and complainants are deprived of their constitutionally guaranteed ability to invoke a violation of the right to a fair trial if their substantive and procedural rights are not respected. In today's environment, litigators with authority need to improve both their digital and health culture in order to be able to use information tools to address litigation and procedural decision-making, taking into account the health risks to individuals in an adverse epidemic situation. Solving these and other interrelated tasks will ultimately contribute to the smooth operation of the epidemic in accordance with international standards and the adaptation of Ukrainian judicial proceedings to European standards of justice.

INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL MANAGEMENT AS EDUCATIONAL THEORY AND PRACTICE

The article considers innovative pedagogical management as a means of transforming pedagogical systems into a qualitatively new state, as a tool for building a new, more prosperous and developed society as a whole. The main changes that every manager needs to make if he wants his educational institution to be able to fully realize its potential are outlined.
 Innovative pedagogical management involves solving two interrelated tasks: first, the management of technological, organizational and economic innovations; secondly, managing the process of development and distribution of new highly effective pedagogical technologies, new methods, techniques and tools of teaching, education and personal development. Its characteristic features are systemic, collegiality, democracy, flexibility in the preparation, adoption and implementation of management decisions and more.
 In today's dynamic environment, the long-term effectiveness of the educational institution is increasingly dependent on targeted changes that are continuous, affecting the mode of its operation by the management of controlled adjustments to preset statistical indicators. To achieve recognition and satisfaction of students, parents, the public, the head of a modern educational institution must not only create a functioning system that works in a certain, consistently repetitive mode, but also be able to update it and thus bring it into dynamic balance or harmony with changing environments.
 The authors study the process of creating and using educational innovations, emphasizing the importance of translating it from spontaneous to purposeful, planned. It is shown that the main directions and tasks of innovative management should be considered: development and implementation of a unified innovation policy; defining a system of strategies, projects, programs; resource provision and control over the course of innovation activity; training and education of teachers; formation of target teams, groups that implement solutions to innovation projects, creating an innovation environment.
 The content of innovative pedagogical management in the educational institution involves, firstly, a targeted policy on the organization of education based on new information technologies in traditional educational institutions, and secondly, the development of new types of organizational structures, institutional forms characteristic of modern education. Formation and development of the system of innovative pedagogical management is evolutionary in nature and is achieved through the coordinated actions of the entire teaching staff.

On the way to a smart school: a look from the classroom

The article presents a ten-year experience of the development and implementation of a personalized mastery-based learning model to renew the educational process in a public school. The model assumes that 1) externally set learning goals should be processed by the students and become their personal goals, 2) the success of learning is ensured by individualizing the pace, organization and methods of teaching, educational materials and special efforts of teachers to develop personal qualities of the student. Six interrelated tasks that the educational organization systematically solved during the experiment are described. The effectiveness of the developed model of educational work is evidenced by the high marks of students in the state exams in informatics and the results of the annual state graduation tests.

Оценка эффективности заработной платы в условиях монопсонии: применительно к Арктическому рыбопромышленному кластеру

At present, new financial mechanisms of interaction between employees and employers in the context of market relations are being formed and improved in Russia. The decisive factor in workers’ per-formance is their financial motivation and stimulation. The determinative of productivity of an enterprise activity is remuneration efficiency as a base of laborers’ financial motivation and stimulation. The remuneration is a flexible element of distributive relations and it is impossible to create an effective motivational mechanism without an establishment of its communication with final results. Such indices as salary distribution and salary intensity as basic indicators of wage efficiency assessment have been used in the paper. The object of the research is sixteen large and medium-sized fishing enterprises in the Arkhangelsk region as a part of the Arctic fishing cluster. These enterprises catch fish in the Barents and Norwegian seas, as well as in the North Atlantic. It has been shown that the financial results of fishing enterprises depend on external conditions — primarily on the quotas for fish catch and the price of fish products. In the research, the authors have proceeded from the following hypotheses: the Arctic fishing cluster’s enterprises operate in a monopsony on the labor market; there is a pattern between the size of wage fund and financial performance of the Arctic fishery cluster enterprises; the change in wage fund is an effective mechanism to improve the efficiency of the Arctic fishery cluster. In the course of the research, the following interrelated tasks have been solved: the identification of the features of the Arctic fishing cluster’s labor market; the assessment of the effectiveness of the wage fund use for the Arctic fishing cluster’s enterprises based on the author's methodology; the identification of the importance of the problem of insufficient efficiency of wage fund use in the Arctic fishing cluster.

The problem of the development of consciousness and self-consciousness of the teacher's personality

The article considers the problem of studying the development of consciousness of a teacher of higher education institutions, because consciousness, in general, is not only fundamental but also a limiting concept in the system of psychological concepts. The process of development of consciousness of high school teachers who directly form the personality of future specialists as leaders of any society is clarified. The theoretical structure of consciousness is studied, which includes such components as cognitive, reflexive, value-semantic, orientational, which are in close interaction and give the individual a holistic reflection of objective reality and affect the socio-psychological level of its development. These components function in the mind as a whole. Therefore, the authors consider the content of the consciousness of the teacher's personality as a specific form of subjective reflection of objective reality, in which he is included and which affects his actions and states. The authors emphasize that in this aspect we should pay attention to such key functions of consciousness as reflective, generative (creative, creative), regulatory and evaluative, reflective, spiritual, and socio-cultural. Attention is paid to self-consciousness as a special form of consciousness that reflects the level of development of consciousness. It is proved that self-awareness determines the level of self-organization of the individual, the principles of his behavioral self-regulation, self-construction, and self-affirmation. The authors determine the conditions for the functioning and development of teachers' consciousness and their self-consciousness. This is because the activities of higher education teachers have a high level of social significance, as society assigns him two important and interrelated tasks: preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage of society; socialization of the individual at the stage of its professional formation.
