Academic Debt in Higher Education: An Analysis of the Causes and Opportunities to Overcome

Academic debt can cause a significant damage to the Russian economics and the higher education system in the medium term (on the horizon of 5–10 years). The purpose of the study is to identify the key problems based on the results of a comprehensive empirical analysis of the situation of the formation of massive academic debt (using the example of the “Business Informatics” direction at a Russian university) and to substantiate ways to improve the activities of universities in order to overcome them and reduce students’ academic dept. Research methods are general scientific (deduction, induction, generalization, comparative analysis, etc.), as well as special ones (correlation and regression, statistical, sociological surveys, etc.). Analytics and visualization of quantitative data were carried out using MS PowerBI software. Research results. It was revealed that: a) high incoming scores do not guarantee trouble-free education at the university; b) students with low scores (but not less than 160–170) are also able to master quite complicated university programs; c) the presence of academic debts does not depend on the type of disciplines studied (economics / information technology). The number of student dropouts in the studied sample (up to 50% of those who entered with a non-linear dependence on the total USE scores) testifies to the presence of reasons that are not related to the incoming educational potential of students. The results of the study made it possible to structure them into three groups: insufficient motivation, self-organization problems, and “incomplete maturation”. Five groups of students have been identified with an increased risk of accumulating academic debt.

Электронное правосудие в цивилистическом процессе в условиях пандемии: сравнительно-правовой анализ

The aim of the work is to identify gaps in the regulatory framework containing the rules and procedures for the actions of persons participating in the civil law process, in the presence of external factors, namely, during a pandemic, in order to improve procedural legislation based on the relevant experience of different countries. When conducting a study of legislation, judicial acts regulating the possibility of administering justice under quarantine conditions, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, forecasting, as well as specific scientific methods - comparative legal, formal logical, forecasting, were used. The regulatory framework, acts of courts regulating the issues of administering justice in conditions of self-isolation were analyzed. The features of the impact of the pandemic on judicial activities in Russia, in the Republic of Kazakhstan, in the European Union, as well as in the UK were revealed. Remote means of communication with the court were investigated, as well as consideration of a court case in a civil law process using the means of online interaction. In Russia, the pandemic, along with the use of electronic justice through the systems Moy Arbitr and Pravosudie, became an incentive for the introduction of online meetings in arbitration courts, various types of web conferences. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, quarantine measures became the reason for the greater use of the TrueConf service, the mobile courtroom. The European Union increased the interaction of courts in a distance format with the help of the European eJustice portal. The UK is distinguished by its progressive approach to the legislative settlement of the circumstances associated with remote proceedings. The tasks of electronic justice are set, which must be solved by Russia in an emergency situation. In conclusion, the authors infer that the pandemic had an impact on the introduction of new information technologies in the civil process. The technical component of e-justice is important, but it is impossible to ensure its implementation without fixing the procedural rules in the relevant codified sources. Despite the fact that the legal proceedings in Russia are at a high level and an example in this issue for other countries, it is necessary to refer to the experience of the Republic of Kazakhstan, where a special mobile application TrueConf was developed, which does not require stationary equipment and is more accessible to citizens without contacting specialists. As for the UK, in the authors' opinion, it is worth paying attention to the responsiveness of the legislature regarding the issues that need to be resolved in order to normalize the work of the judicial system in emergency situations during the pandemic.

Analysing vulnerability of road network and guiding evacuees to sheltered areas: Case study of Mt Merapi, Central Java, Indonesia

Historically people traded the risk of living in dangerous places such as volcanic slopes for the benefit of farming in rich soils. Road network around risk prone area plays a key role in saving lives when evacuation is required in an emergency, and thus needs to be in full preparedness to face the eventuality. This will need analysing vulnerability to disruption and identifying critical network links of the evacuation routes. It is also crucial to ensure that the evacuees are aware of recommended routes to sheltered areas. Traffic models to assess road network performance due to natural disasters have been developed in the past. But few researchers investigated whether the evacuees are aware of the recommended routes to sheltered areas and whether they are willing to use them indeed. This paper adopts a vulnerability index and identifies network links to improve, by mapping them to a simple ‘traffic light style’ congestion scale. A special mobile phone application software was developed to guide the residents to reach sheltered areas which takes account of the fact that a third of the residents living around Mt Merapi are not aware of evacuation routes to sheltered areas.

Method for assessing the influence of psychophysical state of drivers on control safety based on monitoring of vehicle movement parameters

The authors solve the issue of identifying changes in the psychophysical factors of drivers’ health when driving without the use of special body sensors, which significantly expands the possibility of using the method for drivers of any vehicles. The method allows us to determine correlations between the parameters of vehicle movement and the psychophysical state of the driver in the process of preliminary testing. For that purpose, a special mobile application is used making it possible to determine the subject’s reactions to dynamic images during a 1–2-minute test and compare the results with the parameters of movement. The processing results represent correlation functions used to identify the signs of the driver’s state (fatigue, sickness, etc.), which affect traffic safety, by the parameters of movement. At the same time and in a similar way, factors related to the technical condition of the vehicle are identified. For that purpose, correlation functions between the indicators of movement, obtained at the current moment and during previous trips, are calculated. The method can be used to improve the safety of transportation with the use of both public and individual vehicles (regarding drivers of private cars, mini electric vehicles, etc.).

Software architecture optimization of mobile biomedical sensor-based tools providing analytical services for disease diagnostics and assistance

The development of highly specialized mobile applications and systems has risen for several years, as we observe rapid deployment of innovative biomedical sensors and wearable technologies. The experiences gathered over 10 years of mobile medical software development, provide practical recommendations for architectural concepts utilized in analytical health-based services. Constructed systems and mobile applications in majority of cases utilize biomedical signals to identify health state of a patient, as well as to evaluate or estimate the intensity of disease symptoms. Based on these experiences, this paper proposes architectural concepts, for both mobile and web-based components aimed at acquisition and processing of biomedical data in large scale medical systems dedicated for monitoring of patients. The major assumptions for this research included utilization of wearable and mobile technologies, supporting maximum number of wearable diagnostic technologies including inertial and biomedical data streams. Although medical diagnostics and decision algorithms have not been the main aim of the research, this preliminary phase was crucial to test capabilities of existing off-the-shelf technologies and functional responsibilities of system’s logic components. Optimized architecture variants contain several schemes for data processing, moving the responsibility for signal feature extraction, data classification and pattern recognition from wearable to mobile application and further to server services. The analysis of delays during data transmission and processing, provided architecture variants’ pros and cons but most of captured recommendations for applicability of such mechanisms in the domains of medical, military and fitness. To evaluate and construct architecture, a set of alternative technology stacks and quantitative measures has been defined. The major architecture characteristics (high availability, scalability, reliability) have been defined imposing asynchronous processing of sensor data, efficient data representation, iterative reporting, event-driven processing, restricting pulling operations. Analytical processing of inertial or biomedical sensor data requires filtering, time-window processing, aggregation, application of specific algorithmic transformations etc. Combination of several data sources and correlation of biomedical parameters between each other and specific patient’s health state, extend predefined ordinarily used event triggering rules. This work provides construction details of wearable-based mobile systems with specialized aimed at health state identification and monitoring. Undertaken construction decisions have been confirmed and justified based on functional and stress tests of system components. The first deployment attempt of designed architecture and its implementation has been aimed at remote, mobile monitoring of elderly people, and preconfigured for crucial health event recognition – fainting, stroke, cardiac arrest, seizures, some classes of neurological disorders and derivatives of such conditions.
