Level Of Scientific Activity Research Articles

КОНТЕНТ-АНАЛІЗ ДИСЕРТАЦІЙНИХ РОБІТ З ПРОБЛЕМАТИКИ МАРКЕТИНГУ В УКРАЇНІ

The article has carried out a content analysis of the abstracts of dissertation studies devoted to marketing issues for the period 2000–2021 with the aim of determining their status in economic and other fields of science in Ukraine. This involves determining the range of issues related to marketing activities in the theses of domestic scientists, the state of their consideration, and the determination of problematic areas of research. Quite significant synergistic relations of research on marketing have been determined, since a significant number of studies that use marketing in one way or another have been presented in other fields of knowledge, in addition to economics, in particular, in pedagogical activity, political sphere, the state administration system, etc. According to the dynamics of the number of defended dissertations in various specialties in the economic field of knowledge, the accumulation of a rather significant potential of domestic science in the field of marketing and the further relevance of its research in economic activity have been determined. The level of scientific activity by regions of Ukraine has been established, where the institutions of Kyiv and Kyiv region are the leading ones. Although conducting research and defending dissertations gradually expanded in terms of geography. Contemporary directions of research have been highlighted, i.e. strategic aspects of marketing, components of the marketing complex, managerial aspects of marketing, innovation, competitiveness and marketing, decision-making in marketing and its information support, as well as international marketing. Internet marketing and digital marketing have been mentioned among the latest topical areas of research. Based on the content analysis of dissertation abstracts, the main features of the consideration of marketing issues in domestic science have been outlined, i.e. the presence of a fairly wide range of terms in marketing, the dynamics of their transformation; significant determinism of approaches to marketing depending on the object of research; the formation of separate trends in marketing; application of marketing in specific functional areas of enterprise activity.

РЕГИОНАЛЬНЫЕ НАУЧНЫЕ КЛАСТЕРЫ РОССИИ

The paper analyzes the scientific activity of Russian organizations in five regional scientific clusters of Russia (Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Tyumen, Irkutsk), the results of which in a number of natural science branches of sciences are characterized by high values of the demand index V, citation C and Hirsch H, obtained on the basis of scientometric indices of organizations (publication activity P, C and H) from the database of the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Two such scientific branches have been identified in the Yekaterinburg cluster: geology and mechanics. In the Novosibirsk cluster, where the maximum number of leading organizations is noted, the latter are represented in such research areas as chemistry, physics, cybernetics, electrical engineering, mathematics, electronics and radio engineering, automation and computer engineering, computer science, energy, chemical technologies and industry, geology. In the Tomsk Scientific Cluster, the leading positions of organizations are noted in chemistry, cybernetics, mechanics, chemical technologies and industry, biology. In Tyumen the leadership of organizations in the following scientific fields is noted: chemistry, geophysics, mining. According to the results of the study, it was also revealed that in the by far the biggest number of organizations that are part of the five analyzed scientific clusters, the maximum value of the Hirsch index exceeds 16, which indicates, firstly, the global level of scientific activity of Russian researchers in the relevant branches of science, and, secondly, in the identified organizations, a high level of publication activity based on the results of research should be expected in the future.

Regional Features of the Modernization State of Human Development in the Context of Productive Forces Modernization

The article analyzes the level of modernization state of human development on the basis of analysis of its components, such as the level of reproduction of the population, the level of education of the population, the level of scientific activity of the population, the level of material security of the population and the level of comfort of life of the population. Grouping of regions of Ukraine was conducted and a cartographic analysis of regional features of the modernization state of human development was presented.

Beginning teachers immersed into science: Scientist and science teacher identities

We use identity as a multidimensional lens to explore ways in which beginning teachers saw themselves as scientists and as science teachers during and after 10-week summer apprenticeships at a science lab. Data included four interviews with each teacher, three during the apprenticeship and one after the first year of teaching. Two themes emerged that were used to organize the findings: (a) science as a practice and (b) science as a community of practice. Teachers came to appreciate certain science practices, speech acts, and tools. As scientists, they noticed and engaged in the nonlinearity, messiness, risk taking, evolution over time, and complexity of science (their own and others'), and in both levels of scientific activity, theory and data, and their interplay. Their scientist identity also came to incorporate the delicate dynamics of collaboration, autonomy, and mentoring within a community. However, for several reasons the teachers raised, such practices became elements of their science teacher identities to differing degrees. What they experienced as science teachers was a sense of conflict. At times this conflict took the form of ambivalence, a back-and-forth movement between their sense of the practice of science and their sense of what makes school different from the lab. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF INDIGENOUS AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES: INTERNATIONAL DEBATE AND POLICY INITIATIVES

This paper reviews international law and policy regarding the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities that are defining the role of traditional and indigenous knowledge in the management and conservation of biodiversity. The most influential forums occur within the United Nations system, particularly the Working Group on Indigenous Populations and the Convention on Biological Diversity. We discuss the “soft-law” context of declarations, regional agreements, ethical guidelines, research protocols, and policy frameworks, which reinforce indigenous entitlements. The elaboration of these rights will increasingly impinge upon scientific research by regulating access to the knowledge and resources of indigenous and local communities, and by requiring that policy and management be made with their full participation. Scientists should respond by following these developments, institutionalizing this participation at all levels of scientific activity, and respecting the value of indigenous knowledge.

SCIENCE AS PARADIGMATIC COMPLEXITY

Imre Lakatos classes philosophers of science as Sceptics, Demarcationists, or Elitists. Each of these three classes presents a logical reason why science could not exist other than according to their description. Sceptics believe that demarcation prevents new ideas from entering science by insisting on criteria that were formed from past ideas. Demarcationists show that without a clear demarcation science could not be separated from pseudo-science and one could not prove that one scientific theory was better than another. Elitists insist that since science includes knowledge known only by those who practice it, only they can determine what is and what is not science It is my contention that science is a complex system. It exists simultaneously on several levels which we are able to interact with one at a time. Therefore, seen from this point of view, these three seemingly incompatible theories about science are really descriptions of different levels of scientific activity.
