Development of a structural-functional model for the implementation of the methodological approach to assessing the business network effectiveness

During the economic crisis, to ensure sustainable development, the use of network forms of business organization in Ukraine is one of the most effective. However, given that business networks are hierarchical organizations, the problem of continuous monitoring of economic activity is updated to make the necessary effective management decisions. In this paper, using the structural and functional modeling method, a model is developed, which is an integral part of the methodological approach to assessing the business network effectiveness. The model combines empirical, theoretical and mathematical approaches to assessing the effectiveness of the network-based business organization and is based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of business network activity. This approach ensures the objectivity of evaluating the properties of its functioning. A system of factors for a qualitative assessment of the effectiveness of a business network functioning was determined by an expert assessment method involving 40 managers of four companies in Ukraine. Determining the result deviations, in comparison with the accepted factors of the qualitative characteristics of networks, reveals the existing trends in the development of future events in terms of the risk of certain types of the business network activity. The results obtained are practical and will be useful for business network managers in developing an effective management strategy.

Energetic azide-based coordination polymers: Sensitivity tuning through diverse structural motifs

Energetic coordination polymers (ECPs), as a new class of energetic materials (EMs), have attracted extensive attention in recent years. However, controllable modulation of mechanical sensitivities and the establishment of structure-function theoretical models of ECPs to meet different applications remain great challenges. Herein, we designed and synthesized four azide-based ECPs, [Cd2(N3)2(datz)2]n1 (Hdatz = 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole), [Cd(N3)2(brt)2]n2 (brt = 4,4′-bi-1,2,4-triazole), [Cd(N3)2(btzp)]n3 (btzp = 1,3-di(tetrazol-1-yl)propane), and [Cd2(N3)4(btzb)]n4 (btzb = 1,4-bis(tetrazol-1-yl)butane). Because of the existence of consolidated network structures, high-energy linkers, and diverse structural motifs, compounds 1–4 exhibit reliable thermal stabilities, tunable mechanical sensitivities, and considerable heats of detonation (ΔHdet) with the ΔHdet values of 3.390, 3.412, 3.947 and 4.504 kJ·g−1, respectively, which are two times higher than those of commercial LA (lead azide) and the reported AgMtta (AgMtta = [Ag(Mtta)]n, HMtta = 5-methyl-1H-tetrazole). The sensitivity measurements demonstrate that the sensitivity toward impact of 1–4 displays in the following order: 1 (>40 J) ≪ 2 (8 J) < 3 (2.5 J) < 4 (2 J). In particular, compound 1 features scarce insensitivity compared with sensitive 2, 3, 4 and most of known azide-based EMs. Furthermore, theoretical calculations, structural analyses, and experimental results revealed that the different sensitivities of the four ECPs are mainly dependent on two different structure models for the first time. The insensitive 1 is “body frame structure” model, while the sensitive 2–4 belong to “non-body frame structure” model. Our study enlightens new insights into structures behind mechanical sensitivities for optimizing advanced EMs.

Study the Structural Topology, Dynamic Properties and Functional Model of Phage 21 Holin Protein using EPR Spectroscopy

Phage mediated bacterial cell lysis is the most frequent cytocidal event in this biosphere and strictly controlled by at least three groups of lytic protein. The holin, a small membrane protein, is the essential part of this lytic system and responsible for the initiation of lytic process by making holes in the inner cytoplasmic membrane at a precise time. The holin of the phage Φ21 makes smaller holes and known as the pinholin S21 (PHS21). Pinholin S21is encoded by the S21 gene. S21 is a dual start motif gene, can be expressed as active pinholin (68 amino acids) or antiholin (71 amino acids). Both pinholin and antiholin have two transmembrane domains (TMD). In the active form, TMD1 can be externalized from the membrane very quickly to oligomerize followed by very small hole formation, but in antiholin this externalization is slow which delay the oligomerization. We are using Electron Paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic techniques to probe the structural topology, dynamics properties and functional model of the tactive and inactive forms of PHS21. Fmoc-Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis and site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) was used to make EPR active peptide samples. Samples were incorporated into DMPC proteoliposomes to mimic a membrane environment. EPR line shape analysis, power saturation and Double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopic data probed the structural topology and dynamic properties of pinholin S21 and demonstrated significant differences between the active and inactive forms of PHS21. EPR spectroscopic data and circular dichroism (CD) spectra indicate the concentration-dependent oligomerization by the active form of PHS21.

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; The problem of polyartistic thinking of future teachers of Art in the process of intermedial communicative activity has been actualized. It has been emphasized at the integrative approach to studying artistic disciplines; the necessity of using intermedial technology in the process of formation of communicative competence of future teachers of Art has been substantiated. It has been found that intermedial technology is a way of organizing communicative space, which combines different forms of media. It has been established that at concrete- subjective level (the sphere of artistic education) intermedial technology is considered as a procedural component of educational communicative activities. The structural-functional model of the process of formation of communicative competence of future teachers of Art on the basis of intermedial technologies has been developed. Three levels that make up the integrity of the model have been presented: conceptual-semantic, compositional, symbolic.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

SIMULATION OF THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE FUTURE TEACHER OF LABOR EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY BY MEANS OF INDEPENDENT WORK

In the article reveals the content of the structural and functional model of professional development of future teachers of labor training and technology. To visualize the specific goals, ways and results of professional development of future teachers of labor training and technology in the process of independent work, a modeling method was used, which is based on the principle of analogy and provides the opportunity to study a real object not directly but through consideration an object similar to it, that is, its model. The method of experimental research «pedagogical modeling» is revealed as the initial stage of process design, which involves creating conditions to achieve the goal, determining the stages and components of this process, developing strategies, forms, methods, tools, technologies of professional development and more.

Exchanging deep knowledge for fault diagnosis using ontologies

To improve the development efficiency of automatical diagnosis equipment (ADE) and ensure the generality of ADE software, this paper proposes a novel method to exchange deep knowledge of systems under diagnosis (SUD) using ontologies. A general framework of knowledge base combining test information model and diagnosis information model is proposed. The diagnosis information model is decomposed into structure model and function model. The structure model describes the connectivity of adjacent components as well as the structural hierarchy, and the function model describes behaviour of modules by mapping input signals into output signals. Moreover, the method to locate the fault based on the proposed knowledge base is introduced. Finally, a case study for guiding system of passive-radar guidance missile is carried out to illustrate our proposed method. The practice shows that our method can achieve the object well.

System of technological support for continuous environmental education (by the example of the Altai republic)

This paper presents a concept of continuous environmental education that has a generic nature but was considered in the context of one particular region — the Republic of Altai. The work also presents a structural-functional model of the system of technological support of the continuous environmental education of secondary school students. The model of the system mentioned above is based on the results of theoretical, methodological and practical research as well as on its experimental verification. The system is based on the principle of environmental education with its substantive, regulatory and procedural functions. The study has confirmed the assumption about the necessity of this concept and proved its effectiveness in terms of developing a technology for continuous environmental education in the region. This concept was adopted by the Government of the Altai Republic and became the theoretical and methodological basis of this technology. The concept of environmental education in the Republic of Altai proposed allows observing the entire educational process and taking into account the connections between all functional structures most fully, since all of them are based on systematic, activity, reflexive, synergetic, resource, cultural approaches. The concept creates a theoretical basis for solving an important practical problem — the scientific substantiation of the didactic basis of environmental education. The investigation performed helps explain the essence and predict the development of complex processes in the field of education. The research allows using the experience of theoretical substantiation of the introduction of didactic provisions to the rank of teaching principles and experience in developing their "instrumentality" (the method of application) in the form of content, normative and procedural didactic functions. Also, this research allows building a concept that creates a theoretical basis for solving important practical problems in the education system and using the experience of revealing the deeper content of previously known pedagogical concepts, enabling the identification of their new core features.
