Competence-based ranking in training of specialists in the field of strategic communications, advertising and public relations

The article represents the authors’ methodology in assessing the level of professional training of specialists in the field of advertising and public relations within the framework of competence-based approach to education. The authors consider it insufficient to rank the students based on purely academic performance and suggest changing the existing criteria to assess the level of acquired skills and competences required in the future profession. To increase the learning motivation, it is suggested to use the creative potential of future public relations specialists. The authors’ approach involves the introduction of gamification elements, including scenes and vocabulary known to students from computer games. Special attention is paid to transparent and visual organisation of ranking tables. Such ranking has been tested at MGIMO – University for a number of years and has shown an increase in motivation and, as consequence, learning outcomes. This methodology may be used to improve the efficiency of the educational process in advertising, strategic communications, public relations, branding, and similar disciplines in humanities and social studies where competences are an integral part of professional training.

Влияние уровня образования на возможность трудоустройства граждан в современном Китае

In modern conditions of the information society, the need for new-level professionals is increasing, which dictates the need to ensure that educational systems meet the needs of the economy. Requirements for personnel in manufacturing companies are gradually escalating, prompting a majority of candidates to pursue higher education. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between the level of professional training in China and the quality of citizens’ employment. During the two-stage survey, a direct correlation of these indicators was revealed. The study reveals that graduates with an academic degree experience the highest quality of employment, while bachelor’s and master’s degree holders often find themselves in situations where employers do not consider their interests. It also highlights the absence of a functional career guidance and employment monitoring system in universities, which results in education being disconnected from the real labor market. Conclusion emphasizes the necessity to strengthen legislative frameworks to prevent differentiation among professionals in terms of employment quality. It suggests improving the employment mechanism under state macro-control and optimizing university practices in career guidance. The essence of these enhancements should focus on updating and individualizing educational content to better align with students’ specialties.

FUNCTIONAL FEATURES AND TYPOLOGY OF SUBURBAN TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF TERNOPOL

Peculiarities of the timing of suburban (in relation to the city of Ternopil) territorial communities are considered. Such parameters as the area of suburban territorial communities were analyzed; peculiarities of the number, density and location of the population of communities; financial condition and capacity of communities, according to their incomes, expenses, transfers, location of industry, features of transport infrastructure. Attention is drawn to the main environmental problems of suburban communities, possible ways to overcome them, the availability and peculiarities of the use of recreational resources and the spread of recreational infrastructure are motivated. The functional structure and spatial arrangement of the territories of the nature reserve fund were analyzed. The problems of the development of territorial communities at the present stage are becoming particularly urgent. Important aspects of development are ensuring coherence of economic, social and environmental vectors, taking into account the potential of local resources, as well as additional favorable factors, such as investments, logistics and infrastructure. Within territorial communities, an inventory of the resource base is carried out, investment passports are created, development strategies are developed, existing problems are analyzed and ways to solve them are substantiated. Solving these complex tasks requires a high level of professional training of management personnel and effective monitoring of development processes. The authors have published a series of articles devoted to the analysis of the potential of natural resources, problems of environmental development management, unbalanced land use and other aspects. The choice of suburban territorial communities of the city of Ternopil is due to their belonging to the former Ternopil district (according to the old administrative and territorial system) and their location around the regional center. What determines the specificity of the structure of agriculture, the location of the population, industry, transport infrastructure, environmental conditions, etc. The adoption of the state regional development strategy for 2021-2027 is the main legal document aimed at strategic planning of effective development, including territorial communities. The main methodological approaches are the strategy of sustainable development, the concept of balanced ecological-social-economic development and the principles of the system approach. The suburban territorial communities of Ternopil include: Biletska, Baikovetska, Velikobirkivska, Velikogaivska, Velikoberezovytska and Pidhorodnyanska territorial communities. Recreational resources in the studied communities are represented mainly by forest areas and a pond network, which is often equipped with the necessary infrastructure. Historical and architectural resources are represented by a network of ancient churches, cultivated springs, etc. Separately, we can recall the arched railway bridge in the village. Butsniv at the end of the 19th century. A much better developed tourist infrastructure is represented by recreation centers, numerous hotels, and catering establishments. The general ecological state of the main components of the natural environment shows an increase in the degree of environmental pollution. Areas of excessive pollution are observed around industrial centers, large industrial facilities, landfills, radiation-contaminated territories, where various types of pollution are deposited and along hydraulic networks, highways and railways, which affects the natural living conditions of the population. The conducted research showed that suburban territorial communities have an unsatisfactory land use structure. The population of the communities is prone to pendulum migrations, due to better employment opportunities and a greater number of various services in the regional center. Within the studied communities, it is necessary to optimize the structure of land use, increase the area under natural lands, carry out measures to replant and afforest unproductive and eroded agricultural lands. Plant forests to create a full-fledged integrated green zone of the city of Ternopil, which will perform important recreational and ecological stabilization functions. The conducted analysis demonstrates a significant inhibition of the ecological vector of sustainable development. We see a perspective in the development of geoecological projects, environmental measures in schools, organizations and institutions, communities. It is necessary to create new and expand existing nature reserves. In general, optimization measures aimed at improving the ecological condition of the territory and the quality of life of the population should be carried out. The results of the study can be useful to the administrations of suburban territorial communities for the implementation of optimization measures of various levels and directions. Key words: territorial community, financial capacity, infrastructure, ecological condition, nature reserve fund.

Predictors of health workers' knowledge of maternal and perinatal deaths surveillance and response system in Morogoro region, Tanzania: An analytical cross-sectional study.

This study aimed at assessing the predictors of knowledge about the Maternal and Perinatal Deaths Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) system among health workers in the Morogoro region. It was an analytical cross-sectional study, conducted from April 27 to May 29, 2020. A multistage sampling technique was used to recruit 360 health workers. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS v.20) software was used for data entry and analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with knowledge of MPDSR. A total of 105 (29.2%) health workers in the Morogoro region had adequate knowledge of the MPDSR system. After controlling for confounders, predictors of knowledge on the MPDSR system were the level of health facility a health worker was working (n [hospital [adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.668 at 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.497-4.753, P = .001]), level of education of a health worker (diploma [AOR = 0.146 at 95% CI = 0.038-0.561, P = .005]), and status of training on MPDSR (trained [AOR = 7.253 at 95% CI = 3.862-13.621, P ≤ .001]). The proportion of health workers with adequate knowledge about the MPDSR system in the Morogoro region is unacceptably low. Factors associated with adequate knowledge were those working in hospitals with higher levels of professional training and those who had ever had training in MPDSR. A cost-effective strategy to improve the level of knowledge regarding MPDSR in this region is highly recommended.

PECULIARITIES OF OPTIMIZATION OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS TO STUDENTS OF ECONOMIC SPECIALTIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

In the article, the author studies the peculiarities of optimizing the teaching of mathematics to students of economic specialties in higher education institutions. It has been found that teaching mathematics to students of economic specialties is accompanied by a number of problems, in particular, the subject area, the peculiarities of the modern educational environment and the social context. Some students do not show sufficient interest and do not realize the importance of mathematics in professional activities. Low motivation leads to the lack of concentration in the classroom and worsening the outcomes. The quality of mathematics education is negatively affected by the lack of a sufficient level of students’ basic mathematical knowledge. They may not understand real economic scenarios of future professional activities and have difficulty using mathematical concepts to model and analyze real economic situations. Some mathematical concepts and categories, such as differential equations or statistics, can be difficult to understand and apply in the context of complex economic models.Optimization of teaching means bringing this process to a state that ensures the achievement of goals in accordance with the requirements for the content and level of professional training of students, taking into account their interests and capabilities in conditions of limited use of time and effort resources. The main ways to optimize mathematics teaching are: use of specific economic examples and tasks to explain mathematical concepts, because learning can be more effective if students see how they can use mathematics in their future economic activities; integrating teaching with economic models and mathematical concepts so that students can see the use of math in analyzing economic phenomena; use of computer and specialized programs for visualization of mathematical concepts and their use in economic issues; introduction of interactive online resources to facilitate the learning process; active use of applied tasks, inclusion in the curriculum of tasks that require the use of math skills to solve specific economic problems, etc.
