Проектування освітнього середовища закладу дошкільної освіти

The article reveals the relevance of the study due to the contradictions between: the requirements of the state and society to the individual as a carrier of cultural values and how this social order is solved in the modern education system; psychological and pedagogical potential of a modern preschool institution as an environment of personal development of the child and “knowledge”, “cognitive orientation” of the educational process, which prevails in most children. We characterize the main key concepts of the study: development, developmental environment, individual-typological differences, pedagogical design, developmental natural environment, developmental subject-game environment, developmental social-communicative environment. The study identifies the pedagogical conditions for creating an educational environment as a factor in the development of senior preschoolers. The structure of the educational environment has three main components related to a set of conditions that ensure the organization of life of older preschool children in preschool education, namely: spatial-subject, which determines: the formation of children's experience of interaction with the outside world; formation and development of motives for various activities; enrichment of children's subjective experience; social contact, which determines the effective, positive-emotional interaction between all participants in the educational process on the basis of participation (child and adult - equal partners in the interaction); content-activity, which determines the openness of the educational space, the possibility of free choice for the child, the creation of an activity environment that combines and uses the resources and capabilities of the previous components. The structural-functional model of designing the educational environment as a factor of development of the senior preschooler is developed.

Organization behavior control of spatial cluster-network integration of the oil and gas complex

The article presents, substantiates and tests the author's methodological tools based on a set of economic and mathematical models reflecting the processes of formation, development, state and organization behavior control of spatial cluster-network integration of the oil and gas complex. The object of the research is the interregional and intersectoral interactions of the oil and gas complex, considered by the example of the regions of the Volga Federal District of the Russian Federation. The authors understand spatial cluster-network integration as a production pool of mutually beneficial cooperative ties of autonomous business structures based on related interdependent types of economic activity and forming a common space of socio-economic interests regardless of industry and territorial affiliation. The organization behavior control of spatial cluster-network integration requires taking into account the interests of all interested stakeholders, which can be represented using the structural-functional model of the four-link spiral concept. This organization behavior control approach, based on the cluster-network nature of spatial integration, will strengthen territorial and sectoral relationships; a harmonized synthesis of disparate resource potentials will contribute to the rationalization of their use; form the competitive advantages of business structures, the region and the country as a whole.

Legal Component of Public Policy in the Field of Public Health in the Aspect of Providing Social Support for Vulnerable Sections of the Population

The author’s legal support of the components of the structural-functional model (SFM) of medical care for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is given in this article, in particular regarding social support for families in which children with disabilities are raised, which is aimed at strengthening social protection, individualization of the worker schedule and employment, expanding the availability and cheapening of food products, patient-oriented social assistance and improving the economic condition of persons with children with disabilities, other urgent problems of patients with BPD. The Law of Ukraine number 544-VIII «On Employment» renewed the rights of citizens with additional guarantees in employment, and provided these guarantees, and with respect to the target contingent of the SFM, it strengthens the social protection of parents, the establishment of a shorter working time or part-time or non-working week only for women who raise a disabled child, individualization of working time in the care of a sick family member. It is envisaged to ensure fairness in taxation in accordance with EU Council Directive number 2006/112, and in relation to the target contingent of the SFM — the reduction in the cost of food for special nutrition for children. It is also ensured that social justice is implemented in the pension provision of the parental family and, in relation to the target contingent of the SFM, is the improvement of the economic condition of persons with disabled children. A comprehensive reform of the health care system has been defined to create a network of state and communal institutions with a sufficient level of independence, which in relation to the target contingent, the SFM implements approaches aimed at creating a patient-oriented system that can provide medical care in an institution. In order to improve the legislative and regulatory support during 2014–2019, directions for the implementation of the legislative initiative were identified. Socio-medical assistance has been improved: social protection of parents with dependent children under 6 years of age has been strengthened, working hours have been individualized when taking care of a sick family member, food products have been cheapened for special nutrition of children, the creation of a patient-oriented care system has been substantiated, the economic state of persons supporting children has been improved while increasing the mutual responsibility of parents in material assistance and other, which improved the regulatory and legal support of this component of the SFM of medical care for children with BDL.

The work of a social worker for the proper performance of his professional duties requires appropriate training, which would provide not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills. To do this, each higher education institution uses its own model of professional training of students as future social workers to work with young families. Therefore, we have considered the views of scientists on the content of the concept of “training model”, as it is for the training of future professionals, in our case social workers, is one of the means of their professional development. The problem of the model of professional training of future social workers to work with young families is actualized and the structural-functional model of professional training of future social workers to work with young families in need of social and legal protection is developed. The main blocks of this model of professional training are defined and described: target (purpose and tasks of professional training of future social workers to work with young families), theoretical and methodological (analysis of the state of professional training of future social workers to work with young families), organizational and content (organizational and pedagogical conditions of professional training and professional competence, defined by the Standard of Higher Education of Ukraine, field of knowledge 23 Social work, and social and legal competence of future social workers), procedural and educational (educational and methodological complex “Fundamentals of social and legal protection of young families”, educational and methodological support and syllabus of the discipline) and diagnostic unit (criterion apparatus and diagnosis of knowledge, competencies in future social workers to work with young families, which defines the criteria, levels and results of such training). The main criteria of professional training of future social workers to work with young families (motivational, personal, theoretical (cognitive-semantic) and activity-practical) and levels of such training (low (elementary), medium (basic) and high (creative) are determined. Diagnosis of the levels of expression of professional training of future social workers to work with young families on the basis of diagnostic tools.

In order to reveal the theoretical and methodological foundations of the problem of formation of social leadership in future social workers, the generalization of issues to the structure and organization of this activity in the process of professional training was carried out. The separation of different scientific approaches to modeling the professional training of students - future social workers made it possible to predict the results and identify optimal ways to ensure their high level. Separately the structural-functional model of the problem research has already been built, which defines its goal, namely the actualization of modeling of social leadership in future social workers in the process of professional training. An example of the author's structural-functional model of formation of social leadership in future social workers in the process of professional training is given and its essence is revealed. The components of the model (target, organizational, content-methodical, diagnostic) are in the article, which are combined with each other and reveal the features of the formation of social leadership of social workers. The identified components represent the main structural elements of the system of social leadership formation to the specified activities: purpose, objectives, principles, organizational and pedagogical conditions, structure and main activities of the “School of Social Leadership – Student”, criteria, indicators, levels and results. Methodological principles contributed to the identification of optimal research methods: analysis, comparison and synthesis of scientific literature on modeling social leadership in the training of social workers, abstraction and design of the model of social leadership in future social workers in training, systematization and generalization of modeling.

Algorithmization of the combined approach to the synthesis of engineering solutions

This article focuses on solving the problem of designing new, more adapted and universal technical objects associated with the conceptual design of complex structural elements, and require the analysis and assessment of a large number of possible alternatives. To solve this problem, an urgent problem arises of creating new and improving existing methods for finding engineering solutions that will effectively solve the problem of synthesizing technical solutions using modern technologies. The solution to this problem is presented in this article, which proposes a combined approach to the synthesis of engineering solutions, based on the classical method of morphological research (to form a set of alternatives) and neural network technology (to form a rational technical solution). The article presents the developed algorithm for the operation of the block of intelligent decision making, which provides the process of synthesizing engineering solutions of the intellectual component and expands the technical level of the developed functional units, while reducing their design time. The paper presents a developed structural-functional model for the synthesis of engineering solutions, based on the proposed combined approach.

Collagen Structure-Function Mapping Informs Applications for Regenerative Medicine.

Type I collagen, the predominant protein of vertebrates, assembles into fibrils that orchestrate the form and function of bone, tendon, skin, and other tissues. Collagen plays roles in hemostasis, wound healing, angiogenesis, and biomineralization, and its dysfunction contributes to fibrosis, atherosclerosis, cancer metastasis, and brittle bone disease. To elucidate the type I collagen structure-function relationship, we constructed a type I collagen fibril interactome, including its functional sites and disease-associated mutations. When projected onto an X-ray diffraction model of the native collagen microfibril, data revealed a matrix interaction domain that assumes structural roles including collagen assembly, crosslinking, proteoglycan (PG) binding, and mineralization, and the cell interaction domain supporting dynamic aspects of collagen biology such as hemostasis, tissue remodeling, and cell adhesion. Our type III collagen interactome corroborates this model. We propose that in quiescent tissues, the fibril projects a structural face; however, tissue injury releases blood into the collagenous stroma, triggering exposure of the fibrils’ cell and ligand binding sites crucial for tissue remodeling and regeneration. Applications of our research include discovery of anti-fibrotic antibodies and elucidating their interactions with collagen, and using insights from our angiogenesis studies and collagen structure-function model to inform the design of super-angiogenic collagens and collagen mimetics.

Strategies for the socio-economic development of a mining enterprise

Relevance. Ensuring the long-term competitiveness and efficiency of mining enterprises requires increasing the pace of development: the introduction of new technologies, the improvement of labor methods, the implementation of institutional transformations. However, the implementation of the innovation strategy does not occur systematically, at an insufficient pace, with an excess of resource costs and a systematic failure to achieve planned results, due mainly to subjective factors based on contradictions between economic goals and the social policy of the enterprise. Purpose of the study: the formation of standard strategies for the socio-economic development of a mining enterprise, depending on the dynamics of the external and internal environment. Research methods. In the course of the study, the methods of structural-functional analysis, abstract-logical modeling, socio-economic forecasting, production experiment and systems approach were used.. Results. On the basis of the study of the processes of transformation of the mining industry, the general problems hindering the innovative development of enterprises are highlighted. The main reason for such problems is managerial inconsistencies between technical and economic capabilities and motivational mechanisms. Based on the study of the transformation processes of mining enterprises, four standard strategies of socio-economic development have been developed that ensure the transition to sustainable development based on a balanced distribution of limited resources between social and economic goals. Conclusions. The fundamental strategies of socio-economic development are determined by overlapping development cycles of the external and internal environment: concentration, adaptation, evolutionary and innovation. The correct choice of strategy allows making rational management decisions: in crisis conditions - to reduce economic losses, to preserve the assets of the enterprise and the operability of the technological subsystem; in favorable conditions - to realize the potential of the enterprise based on the growth of efficiency and sustainability of its work

Structural modularity of the XIST ribonucleoprotein complex

Long noncoding RNAs are thought to regulate gene expression by organizing protein complexes through unclear mechanisms. XIST controls the inactivation of an entire X chromosome in female placental mammals. Here we develop and integrate several orthogonal structure-interaction methods to demonstrate that XIST RNA-protein complex folds into an evolutionarily conserved modular architecture. Chimeric RNAs and clustered protein binding in fRIP and eCLIP experiments align with long-range RNA secondary structure, revealing discrete XIST domains that interact with distinct sets of effector proteins. CRISPR-Cas9-mediated permutation of the Xist A-repeat location shows that A-repeat serves as a nucleation center for multiple Xist-associated proteins and m6A modification. Thus modular architecture plays an essential role, in addition to sequence motifs, in determining the specificity of RBP binding and m6A modification. Together, this work builds a comprehensive structure-function model for the XIST RNA-protein complex, and suggests a general strategy for mechanistic studies of large ribonucleoprotein assemblies.

Structure–function subsystem models of female and male forebrain networks integrating cognition, affect, behavior, and bodily functions

The forebrain is the first of three primary vertebrate brain subdivisions. Macrolevel network analysis in a mammal (rat) revealed that the 466 gray matter regions composing the right and left sides of the forebrain are interconnected by 35,738 axonal connections forming a large set of overlapping, hierarchically arranged subsystems. This hierarchy is bilaterally symmetrical and sexually dimorphic, and it was used to create a structure-function conceptual model of intraforebrain network organization. Two mirror image top-level subsystems are presumably the most fundamental ontogenetically and phylogenetically. They essentially form the right and left forebrain halves and are relatively weakly interconnected. Each top-level subsystem in turn has two second-level subsystems. A ventromedial subsystem includes the medial forebrain bundle, functionally coordinating instinctive survival behaviors with appropriate physiological responses and affect. This subsystem has 26/24 (female/male) lowest-level subsystems, all using a combination of glutamate and GABA as neurotransmitters. In contrast, a dorsolateral subsystem includes the lateral forebrain bundle, functionally mediating voluntary behavior and cognition. This subsystem has 20 lowest-level subsystems, and all but 4 use glutamate exclusively for their macroconnections; no forebrain subsystems are exclusively GABAergic. Bottom-up subsystem analysis is a powerful engine for generating testable hypotheses about mechanistic explanations of brain function, behavior, and mind based on underlying circuit organization. Targeted computational (virtual) lesioning of specific regions of interest associated with Alzheimer's disease, clinical depression, and other disorders may begin to clarify how the effects spread through the entire forebrain network model.

The urgency of the problem under research is dued to the requirements of modern globalized society, the educational system, which, makes difficult requirements for the professional training of future primary school teachers. Professional activity of students of Masters degree of specialty 013 Primary education takes place in a polyethnic environment. We considered the formation of interethnic tolerance in future primary school teachers as a system that is characterized by integrity and consists of specific elements (blocks) that actively interact and influence at each other. During such interaction, all indicators of interethnic tolerance have been formed, aimed at respect to members of another ethnic group. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the feasibility of developing a system of formation of interethnic tolerance of future primary school teachers in the process of professional training at Master's degree. The main emphasis was put on the analysis of methodological aspects, used in the process of pedagogical modeling. Research methods used: theoretical − system-structural analysis and systematization of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical works, which made it possible to substantiate the conceptual foundations of the system of interethnic tolerance of future primary school teachers; comparative pedagogical analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, classification and generalization (to clarify the sence of scientific definitions «system», «modeling» and «structural-functional model»); pedagogical modeling, which contributed to the development of a structural and functional model of the system of formation of interethnic tolerance of future primary school teachers in the process of professional training at Master's degree. The author's structural-functional model is necessary as a theoretical and methodological reference point in the construction of the educational process in the higher educational establishments. The main result of the implementation of the developed system is the formation in the main majority of future primary school teachers of an appropriate (sufficient and high) level of interethnic tolerance, which will allow them to work effectively in a polyethnic educational environment of primary school.

INFORMATION PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT OF A TEACHER IN THE CONDITIONS OF CONTINUOUS EDUCATION

An important condition for the harmonious development of teacher’s personality is a well-built, effective and efficient system of psychological support of the educational process in the conditions of continuous education has been elaborated. But at the beginning of the third millennium in the globalized world which is called the information breakthrough and is gradually changing our lives, emphasizing the worldview, way of thinking, values and needs, there is a question of not only psychological but also that of informational and psychological support. The result of the support is the development of an IT-literate, professionally reflective, motivated educator of the 21st century, who will not get lost in the interaction with children of Alpha generation, living in informational, dynamic, emotionally strained environment, the generation of Google babies. Teachers, educators, heads of educational institution are of need for information-psychological support from instructors of institutions where their professional development takes place, for in today's informatized world it is very difficult to orient oneself in the unlimited number of sources that can be used during the educational process. The purpose of the article is to set up a structural-functional model of the system of information-psychological support of a pedagogue in the conditions of continuous education. We studied the possibilities for the model development using the analysis of questionnaire performed by the State Service for Education Quality and practical activities of Transcarpathian Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education directed on the organization of distance learning. As the result of research, the aim, tasks and functions of information-psychological support of a teacher have been defined and realization algorithm for the model of information-psychological support system with the purpose of development of teacher's key competences in the conditions of continuous education have been elaborated.

Modeling as a tool for reengineering the enterprise production processes

The article presents the results of pedagogical research aimed at improving the level of professional development of heads of physics-mathematics clubs of out-of-school education institutions in the system of postgraduate education by introducing separate pedagogical conditions and a structural-functional model. A qualitative analysis of the obtained results with a positive conclusion on the effectiveness of certain pedagogical conditions and the author’s structural and functional model was carried out. The proposed classification of levels of professional development of the head of physics and maths club of out-of-school education institutions in the system of postgraduate education contains four levels: basic, heuristic, and innovative. Based on quantitative and qualitative indicators the comparative analysis of the received intermediate and final results of the pedagogical experiment was carried out. The reliability of the research results was ensured by using statistical methods of processing the results of research work. The analysis of the results of the experiment in control and experimental groups indicates the effectiveness of introduction into the process of professional development of heads of physics and mathematics circles of out-of-school educational institutions scientifically substantiated pedagogical conditions and the structural-functional model that presupposes the usage of specially-oriented educational and methodical complex (programs of elective courses, methodical manuals and programs for the organization of self-educational activity).

Structural and Functional Approach to the Assessment of the Educational Programs Quality

The article is devoted to the use of social diagnostics based on structural and functional methodology to assess the quality of bachelor’s educational programs. The main components of this technology are situational analysis of programs, which more accurately determines the purpose of diagnostics and criteria for assessing, and a structural-functional model that allows to determine dysfunctional zones in the structure of education and their causes.The approbation of this diagnosis was carried out on the educational program of bachelors in Social Management at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Focus groups and questionnaires of graduate students were the main methods of data collection.The diagnostic results allowed us to determine that the vector of students’ needs in the field of education coincides with the competence model of the program. The decline in the quality of the program occurs due to the low level of development of practical skills and analytical competencies. The subjective perception of students about the structural factors of the decline in the quality of education was also determined. These are the factors of organization and the type of interaction between professors and students.Structural and functional diagnostics showed the absence of uniform institutional requirements for the educational program and the problems of its organization.The data obtained can be used in the management of the educational program. From a scientific point of view, the results are a contribution to the development of sociological diagnostic tools based on a situational approach and understanding of modern values of youth in the field of education.
