Approaches, models, methods and means of training of future IT-specialists with the use of elements of dual education

The article substantiates the necessity and expediency of using the dual form of education in training specialists in the field of information technology in technical universities of Ukraine, interprets the concept of “dual education” from various sources, including UNESCO documents and the Law of Ukraine “On Education”, analyzes some international experience of using dual study in higher education, in particular in Germany, considers the tasks to be solved for successful implementation of the dual form of higher education in Ukraine, and the main stages of this implementation for the period up to 2023. The paper considers some existing models of dual education that can be used in domestic universities. Also considered one of the approaches to the formation of methodological and information support for training of future specialists in information technology in the dual form of education based on distance learning support system developed on the basis of Moodle system, presented experience in implementing elements of dual education at the Faculty of Information Technology and Systems of Cherkasy State Technological University.

Радиальный прирост сосны обыкновенной (Pinus sylvestris L.) при ингибировании

Predicting tree growth processes is important due to the exceptional ecosystem role of forests, which carry out global climate regulation by sequestrating carbon, conserving drinking water, and providing habitat for living organisms. Trees are known to respond to any fluctuations in the environment. The research purpose is to identify weather and climatic factors that significantly affect the inhibition of growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in conditions of constant moisture deficit. The studies were carried out in the eastern part of the Bryansk region within the territory the Bryansk administrative district, in the educational and experimental forestry of the Bryansk State Engineering and Technological University and the Styazhnovskoye forest district. Methods of dendrochronology were used to assess the response of 93 pine trees to fluctuations in the external environment by changing the width of annual rings (available anatomical feature of a tree) using indices of radial growth. An original approach was proposed to analyze the reasons for a sharp decline in the annual radial growth under the influence of temperature and precipitation. The years with abnormally low increments (1963, 1972, 1985, 2002 and 2010) were identified against the background of the weather-climatic situation for 5 years before and after the fall in growth. Similar dynamics of absolute values of radial increments and their indices was established, which is caused by fluctuations of natural factors, manifestation of hereditary traits, etc. Significant differences were revealed between the growth rates at average multiyear values of January, May and August air temperatures with growth rates in the years of abnormally low radial growth, which are observed in pine against the background of colder January and warmer May and August of the current year, as well as under the condition of warmer January of the previous year. At the same time, no significant role of precipitation was detected. The obtained data, expanding the idea of the features of growth processes and formation of annual increments in diameter of Scots pine in the conditions of changing climate at the turn of the 20th–21st centuries, allowed us to suggest a possible manifestation of physiological features of the species, the homeostasis optimum zone of which is located in the conditions of colder boreal climate. This information expands our understanding of the features of growth processes and formation of annual increments in diameter of Scots pine in changing climatic conditions.

The individual components‘ influence on aging of bitumen mineral materials

When heating bitumen-mineral mixtures at high temperatures under the air access conditions, their accelerated aging is observed, i.e. the values and quality indicators‘ decrease of the compacted samples from them. Due to the different structure of bitumen films on the mineral components‘ surfaces of different compositions and sizes, aging processes may occur in different ways. In this regard, a need for a differentiated study of the aging process on the surfaces of large fine aggregates and the crushed part of the bitumen-mineral (asphalt concrete) mixture arose. The experiments in laboratory conditions are carried out according to the Volga State Technological University developed at the Department of Construction Technologies and Automobiles (according to RF patent No. 2654954). The aging processes analysis of the samples from bitumen-mineral mixtures is carried out using the dimensionless aging coefficient in terms of the ultimate compressive strength at +50 °C. The nature and dynamics of the samples‘ aging over time are assessed using special indicators - the aging coefficient and the aging intensity. As a result of the experimental study, the optimal ratios of bitumen with mineral components, taking into account their susceptibility to aging over time, were established. The changes‘ dynamics in the bitumen aging intensity in time in the bitumen-mineral mixture as a whole and separately on the mineral components‘ surfaces separately has been studied. The results of this study can be taken into account when revising the standard service life values of the roads with structural layers of bitumen-mineral materials.

Technology and commodity characteristics of extracts and oil cake for food enrichment

The original technology of obtaining a new class of food additives in the form of CO2 extracts has been developed at the department «Technology of food products of animal origin» in Kuban State Technological University. It was found that after removal of CO2–extractive substances from dry raw material, sterile oil cake is formed, which is a carbohydrate-protein-lipid food additive. One more peculiarity of CO2 oil cake was noted: the pressure in the extraction apparatus suddenly drops from 6 MPa to atmospheric pressure at the end of the extraction process, the solvent located in each particle of raw material boils up sharply, and at the same time, a particle of raw materials is being reground to a nanoscale. If the microorganisms are in the raw materials they are subjected to the same process. The oil cake becomes infection-free after a gas-liquid bursting. The physicochemical properties of CO2 extracts from the dried fruits of actinidia, sea buckthorn, unabi and rosehips were investigated. The extract form, density and refractive index, viscosity and acid number are determined by these characteristics. The oil cake obtained after the removal of CO2-extractive substances from the raw materials was analysed for their content of the main food components, macro and microelements. The formulation of a meat and vegetable paste enriched with CO2 extracts and CO2 oil cake has been developed.

Методические подходы к оценке прогресса университетов по внедрению бережливого производства

The rapid development of lean production in Russian universities needs new methodological approaches to assess the ongoing processes. The research objective was to develop a new methodological approach to the progress assessment of lean production at universities. The approach is based on the effect of principles, tools, and scope of lean production on its qualitative and quantitative indicators, e.g. the number of methods, projects implemented, work standards, etc. This approach makes it possible to determine the development level of lean production systems on the basis of quantitative indicators, as well as to compare different universities with each other. The experiment featured two universities of the Association of Lean Universities, namely Maikop State Technological University and Kuban State Medical University. In terms of the main indicators, both universities appeared to be quite similar: they had almost the same number of implemented projects, mapped flows, and visualizations, as well as the level of time savings and stakeholder satisfaction. This result can be explained by the general policy of implementing lean production, as well as by a shared scientific and methodological basis. Kuban State Medical University had a slightly greater coverage of training in the field of lean production, standardization, etc. Maikop State Technological University proved to be more active in studying the needs of stakeholders and student involvement. Both universities paid insufficient attention to the cost assessment of the results of lean production. They also had poor management indicators for sustainability processes. The developed methodology may be of interest for university management, since it helps to substantiate decisions made on the basis of a comparative analysis. It can also serve as a basis for a new ranking of lean universities.

Analysis of the experience of transition to distance learning in the system of university training in the pandemic period (on the example of FSBEI HE "Maykop state technological university" and FSBEI he "Adygh state university")

The situation associated with the coronavirus pandemic has greatly changed the life of every person and society as a whole over the past two years. Self-isolation and remote operation as means to contain the spread of infection have prompted the search for new ways to implement various types of activities, which were previously carried out mainly in full-time format. Digital technologies and tools have come to the rescue, which at the time of the pandemic were in demand only in certain areas and were not so widespread. In the current difficult conditions, digital transformations, which began even before the pandemic in all spheres of public life, including education, have greatly accelerated. Understanding the changes taking place in education, assessing their impact on the interaction of subjects of the pedagogical process and the effectiveness of training require analysis of domestic and foreign experience, available data in the field of using digital educational technologies, and the implementation of distance learning. The research problem is the use of distance learning in the system of university training of specialists. The purpose of the research is to analyze and systematize the experience of the transition of universities to distance learning, to study the preliminary results of large-scale application of digital technologies and online learning in universities. The research methods used are analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, questioning, conversation. The research base is FSBEI HE "Maykop State Technological University" and FSBEI HE "Adygh State University". The results of the research are the following: studies on the problem of transition to distance learning in the context of university training have been analyzed; the attitude of the subjects of the educational process to interaction in a new format has been studied, the most convenient digital technologies and tools for teaching have been identified; the advantages and disadvantages of using the distance format in the educational process have been revealed. The key findings: distance technologies make it possible to make education accessible to certain categories of students (for example, for people with disabilities who are in forced isolation as a result of the spread of COVID-19), expand the format of self-education, and provide professional training at a qualitatively different level; a complete transition to a distance learning format reduces the quality and efficiency of the learning process, since new tools do not have the potential that is inherent in traditional tools. The combination of distance learning with traditional, full-time education has more opportunities to meet the challenges facing modern education.

DISTANCE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE LATIN LANGUAGE)

The distance learning model is increasingly being introduced into the practice of educational institutions. Distance learning technologies allow the educational process to be carried out at a distance, expanding the capabilities of educational institutions. The research problem: the use of distance learning technologies in teaching Latin. The purpose of the research is to reveal the potential of distance learning technologies in teaching Latin. The research methods used are generalization, comparison, analysis, survey. The base of the research is FSBEI HE "Maykop State Technological University", the Medical institute. The research results are the following: the potential of distance learning technologies in teaching Latin has been substantiated; studies related to the problem of distance learning in the study of foreign languages have been analyzed; the experience of using distance learning technologies in teaching Latin language has been presented. Key conclusions: distance learning technologies are information and communication technologies implemented using network resources in the indirect (distant) interaction between students and a teacher; distance learning technologies expand the possibilities of language training in modern conditions and can be considered as an additional resource for obtaining educational information, increasing the availability and quality of education; using e-Learning technologies (electronic educational environment of universities, Zoom and MIND online platforms) is an effective tool in teaching Latin, allowing to expand the range of opportunities for language training.

Development of a university healthy diet system: high student cuisine

The purpose of the research is to develop a university system of healthy nutrition, which determines the preservation and strengthening of students’ health by optimizing their nutrition in educational institutions, using an innovative menu and «high cuisine» techniques to organize a high-class student cafe. The used terminology, graphic materials and tools comply with GOST R ISO 21500-2014; UNIDO business planning methodology; methodology for developing EBRD business strategy. The peculiarities of eating behavior of students of Maykop State Technological University and the Adygh State University of the Republic of Adygea have been investigated. Peculiarities of students’ perception of the quality of services of public catering enterprises, an assessment of the structure of expenses for the acquisition of various dishes at catering enterprises, an assessment of the impact of the social status of students on the structure of consumption of products of public catering enterprises, etc. have been considered. Particular attention is paid to identifying nutritional problems existing among students in the region. On the basis of the research the directions for improving healthy nutrition of students have been identified. A university system of healthy nutrition for students has been developed, based on the philosophy of youth taste and preferences: food behavior and reasonable quality: balance in basic substances, with specified beneficial properties, a recommended diet consisting only of healthy food products. The developed system of healthy nutrition will ensure the formation and development of food culture: aesthetic taste for food and its consumption in order to reorient young people from fast and unhealthy nutrition to a healthy diet, using «high cuisine» techniques (careful preparation and careful presentation of dishes / products designed to form a sustainable high motivation for healthy eating, which persists throughout the rest of life, the quality of which can be predicted with predominant indicators. Increasing the efficiency of a public catering enterprise for students will ensure the use of the procurement automation system; takeaway cooking and delivery service; QR-code is a progressive way to get accurate on-line statistics; electronic menu.

Motivational and personal differences of students with dissimilar degrees of self-realization in higher school education

Effective training of competent specialists in a contemporary university requires the disclosure of personal abilities and internal potential of students who realize themselves as subjects of learning activity. The problem of studying the psychological factors of enhancing learning and self-realization of students in the educational space is of particular relevance. The hypothesis of the study was the assumption about the influence of motivational, personal-orientation and life-sense factors on the level of students' self-realization in university education. The study involved 224 students of the 4-5th courses from Belgorod National Research University and Belgorod State Technological University named after V.G. Shukhov. The author’s questionnaire for identifying the degree of students' self-realization in learning, as well as questionnaires and tests known in psychology for identification of motivational, personal and sense-purpose characteristics, served as diagnostic tools. The results were processed using cluster analysis, Student's t-test and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. As a result it turned out that students with varying degrees of self-realization in education had differences in personal characteristics. Students with stable self-realization had higher scores for such motivational parameters as: attitude to learning (t = 7.056, p ≤ 0.001), self-expression need (t = 3.08, p = 0.003), satisfaction of achievements (t = 5.33, p ≤ 0.001). Meanwhile, students with low self-realization had an increased safety need (t = 2.26, p = 0.016). According to personal orientations and self-attitude, students with articulated self-realization were characterized by higher scores in terms of self-regard (t = 2.77, p = 0.007), self-management (t = 4.34, p ≤ 0.001), reflected self-attitude (t = 3.18, p = 0.002) and self-esteem (t = 3.02, p = 0.005). With regard to life-sense orientations, students with stable self-realization were distinguished by higher values of internal locus of control t = 4.50, p ≤ 0.001), life management (t = 4.07, p ≤ 0,001), life productivity (t = 3.84, p ≤ 0.001) and interesting eventful life (t = 3.80, p ≤ 0.001). Based on the correlation analysis, a number of positive relationships of self-realization markers in according to the questionnaire with personal characteristics of students were revealed. A positive connection was remarked between attitude to learning and following markers: the intention to work intensively in the classes (r = 0.52, p ≤ 0.01), recognizing of the usefulness of learning for oneself (r = 0.50, p ≤ 0.01), minimal learning frustration (r = 0.49, p ≤ 0.01). Satisfaction of knowledge correlated with markers of achieving a better self-knowledge (r = 0.49, p ≤ 0.01) and developing of personal abilities (r = 0.48, p ≤ 0.01). Self-management correlates with marker of achieving a deeper self-understanding (r = 0.47, p ≤ 0.01). Thus, the study made it possible to present the differentiated personal characteristics of students with different levels of self-realization in learning. The results can be useful for improving university practice in creating psychological and pedagogical conditions for a more complete students’ self-realization in the training process.

Detection of the Tropical Bed Bug Cimex hemipterus (Fabricius, 1803) in Belgorod (Russia)

The tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus (Fabricius, 1803) was reliably detected in Belgorod in 2020 for the first time. Specimens were collected in dormitories for foreign students at both Belgorod State National Research University and Belgorod State Technological University named after V.G. Shukhov. Retrospective analyses of specimens collected in earlier years reveal that Cimex hemipterus was already present in Belgorod in 2013, and subsequently ousted the cosmopolitan species Cimex lectularius Linnaeus, 1758 which inhabited the area earlier.

Социологический анализ представлений студенческой молодежи о дружбе как социально-культурном феномене

Friendship is a socio-cultural phenomenon, the nature of which is influenced by historical, cultural, political, economic conditions, as well as the values of society. The understanding of friendship transforms as society evolves. The young people’s ideas are of great interest for research, since the young generation expresses values that will replace the existing ones. The objectives of this study are to determine how friendships are formed, to identify factors that affect friendly relations and their duration, to characterize students’ ideas about friendship. The paper presents the results of a sociological study that was conducted by a questionnaire survey of 350 students at the Kuban State Technological University. A secondary analysis of the results of sociological research conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center and the Public Opinion Foundation was also carried out. It is concluded that young people have fewer barriers to friendship, including its new forms.

Trends in the improvement of methods and equipment for the assessment of flax raw material (review)

The article provides the results of the analysis of methods and instrument equipment for the assessment of quality parameters of retted flax straw and flax fiber. The traditional methods and equipment are presented. The devices developed for flax fiber quality testing used in the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and Ukraine are described. Methods, equipment and modern technologies used to determine the quality of flax fiber in European countries, Canada and the United States are provided. The role of modern developments to improve the efficiency of flax production is noted. Promising methods and devices for determining the main quality indicators are identified. The use of the method of automated forecasting of technological value of fiber flax stalks makes it possible to conduct a comprehensive quality assessment based on morphological and anatomical analysis. Modern capabilities of electronic scanning microscopy provide the control of the chemical composition and structural elements of flax stems at various stages of growth and development, as well as during maceration. The use of infrared spectrometry provides high accuracy in determining humidity, strength, fiber content, and long fiber yield.However, along with high-precision equipment, there is the need for equipment and devices that allow determining the main technological indicators in the field with minimal labor, time and money costs. Research in this direction was previously carried out at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Bast Crops Processing and in Kostroma State Technological University. However, the developments of the scientists were not tested in the production process and were not mass-produced. High speed and objective measurement methods will provide the accurate indicators during the process of maceration and primary processing of retted straw that will increase the technological value and competitiveness of flax fiber.

DEVELOPMENT OF CONCENTRIC INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Modern world trends in education are aimed at the digital transformation of educational institutions. Traditional approaches to higher education institutions informatization through their automation no longer meet the requirements of the time. Therefore, new approaches are needed, based on the digitalization of educational processes aimed at creating digital universities. For this purpose, the current state of information systems in higher education institutions use and the issue of higher education institutions digital transformation were studied. The problem of automation tools separation was revealed, which does not allow to effectively implement digitalization projects, does not allow to create a single system of building digital universities. It is proposed to solve the digital transformation of higher education institutions problem based on the use of concentric information technology developed in this study, which integrates all information bases, methods and means of solving functional problems into a single digital space to maximize information needs of higher education institutions. This technology is based on the following developed in the study: 1) concentric model of information technology of digital transformation of higher education institutions, which allows to integrate methods and tools of information management to create a single higher education institutions digital space; 2 functionally independent method of information management of higher education institutions, which allows to create universal tools of informatization, which are independent of the composition and specifics of the construction of the created tools of solving functional problems; 3) interlayer information interaction methods, providing reflection in the processes of each of the layers of changes in the information environment of neighboring layers. The results of the study were used in the construction of information and analytical system of the university educational activities support, which was developed and implemented at Cherkasy State Technological University.
