System Of Training Specialists Research Articles

The rapid generation of E-learning tools under resource constraints approach

Enhancing the efficiency of Ukraine's security and defense sector is one of the key prerequisites for maintaining state sovereignty and achieving victory in the war. This is particularly relevant to the training and education system for specialists of the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine (SSSCIP). The active phase of Russia's war against Ukraine has significantly exacerbated the contradiction between the necessity to improve the efficiency of this system on one hand and the stringent requirement to economize resources (financial, human, and temporal) on the other. Resolving this contradiction is feasible through the intensive implementation of various e-learning tools and technologies, along with associated pedagogical methodologies. One of the factors limiting the effectiveness of e-learning is the complexity of the traditional process of creating these tools. The negative impact of this factor can be mitigated by developing approaches for the rapid generation of e-learning tools. Thus, there is a need to develop an integrated approach that enables the quick creation of educational content and e-learning tools through the use of innovative technologies. Such tools should save time and enhance the efficiency of learning material assimilation. The primary requirements for this approach include the rational use of limited resources and the adaptability of outcomes to the needs of each specialist. The article proposes an integrated approach to the rapid generation of e-learning tools for studying hardware and software devices and systems. This approach includes the following stages: developing a paper version of the learning material, which is the foundation for further enhancements; supplementing the paper version with an eBook based on H5P, which ensures interactivity and flexibility in learning; introducing a simulator module that allows for the emulation of device operation, stimulates student engagement, and deepens understanding of the material; adding an augmented reality module that visualizes complex concepts and provides opportunities for practical knowledge application. The implementation of the integrated approach to the rapid generation of e-learning tools is demonstrated using the educational module "Fortinet FG-60E Firewall." This module exemplifies how the integrated approach can be applied to prepare specialists in Ukraine's security and defense sector under wartime conditions. Survey results from participants who utilized the developed integrated learning approach indicate its high effectiveness.

Training of specialists as one of the aspects of resilience of critical infrastructure

One of the directions of state policy in the field of ensuring national security is the development of a multi-level effective national security and resilience system for critical infrastructure. A key factor in any system, whether in the field of national security or in other spheres, is human capital, its ability to analyze risks and threats, identify vulnerabilities, master newtechnologies, and find innovative solutions to address modern challenges. Thus, an important aspect becomes the training of qualified professionals who possess systemic knowledge and skills. The need to provide systemic knowledge to specialists and managers directly addressing the tasks of ensuring the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure has been established. The current state of the training system for specialists in the field of critical infrastructure protection in Ukraine has been identified, and the main forms of organizing training and personnel preparation in this area have been analyzed. Tasks have been established based on an analysis of existing professions and labor market demand to determine a set of professions that are expedient to involve in ensuring the security and resilience of critical infrastructure. An analysis of the training and qualification enhancement of specialists in the field of critical infrastructure protection and resilience has shown the necessity and possibility of creating a national education and training system on critical infrastructure protection and resilience in Ukraine. Professions and labor market demand have been analyzed, and a set of professions expedient to involve in ensuring the security and resilience of critical infrastructure has been determined. After their final approval, these professions could include: the head of a structural unit responsible for the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure and a specialist in the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure. Developed or updated professional standards in the field of critical infrastructure protection and resilience will serve as a basis for adapting educational programs of higher education institutions according to the labor market demand.

Modern approaches to public sphere specialist training

Formulation of the problem The system of specialist training, which allows providing public authorities with highly qualified and competent personnel, plays a significant role in the development of the public administration sector. The public service personnel should ensure the effectiveness of activities based on compliance with European democratic principles and standards of social development. Analysis of recent research and publications Though many scientists highlighted theoretical approaches to defining staffing peculiarities in the public sphere, the training of public sphere specialists remains topical and requires constant thorough research due to present challenges and time-stipulated requirements. Separation of previously unsettled parts of the general problem This paper aims to substantiate current approaches to training public sphere specialists. Presenting main material Given the need to increase the efficiency of public administration and develop competencies of public authorities, modern realities set new requirements for the training of public sphere specialists. The specialist training reform in the public sphere should be based on the New Public Management (NPM) concept. This concept declares the possibility of training public servants by applying approaches used in the business environment. The training of specialists, able to effectively perform the functions assigned to them in the public sphere, should ensure not only the acquirement of certain knowledge related to the specifics of future activities but also their development of personal skills. These meta-competencies can be considered more relevant for managers in the context of ensuring their professionalism. They are also regarded by scientists as the main impetus for the career promotion of public sector workers in the future. A set of educational programs for cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union within the framework of projects of European educational initiatives, which allow to effectively implement internationalization policies through student mobility, promote the development of educational initiatives by rendering grants for student mobility and infrastructure support, being based on the principles of partnership among scientific institutions, higher establishments, the public, business and the state. To harmonize education with the requirements of the modern world, educational institutions need to take the following steps: focusing on real staffing needs and requests of public authorities at various levels; annual modernization of educational programs in the field of public administration; participation of academic staff in European programs, projects, internships aimed at enhancing the quality of the educational process; close cooperation with leading experts in the field of public administration. For Ukraine, the most acceptable is the option of the optimal combination of approaches of the American and European models, according to which specialists for the public sphere should be trained with an emphasis on the development of their managerial qualities and professional knowledge of jurisprudence. At the same time, it is necessary to reveal the personal skills of future specialists, which will help to unleash their potential. Conclusions The transformations observed today in Ukrainian society require radical changes towards the formation of new approaches to staff training as well as the unification of approaches in the provision of educational services to public sector spe- cialists. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the foreign experience of implementing new public management, which will enable future specialists not only to join the international labor market but also to effectively implement the principles of sustainable democratic development in the Ukrainian state.

Design of a Low-Cost Diffuse Optical Mammography System for Biomedical Image Processing in Breast Cancer Diagnosis.

Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer that mainly affects women. Several diagnosis techniques based on optical instrumentation and image analysis have been developed, and these are commonly used in conjunction with conventional diagnostic devices such as mammographs, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging of the breast. The cost of using these instruments is increasing, and developing countries, whose deaths indices due to breast cancer are high, cannot access conventional diagnostic methods and have even less access to newer techniques. Other studies, based on the analysis of images acquired by traditional methods, require high resolutions and knowledge of the origin of the captures in order to avoid errors. For this reason, the design of a low-cost diffuse optical mammography system for biomedical image processing in breast cancer diagnosis is presented. The system combines the acquisition of breast tissue photographs, diffuse optical reflectance (as a biophotonics technique), and the processing of digital images for the study and diagnosis of breast cancer. The system was developed in the form of a medical examination table with a 638 nm red-light source, using light-emitted diode technology (LED) and a low-cost web camera for the acquisition of breast tissue images. The system is automatic, and its control, through a graphical user interface (GUI), saves costs and allows for the subsequent analysis of images using a digital image-processing algorithm. The results obtained allow for the possibility of planning in vivo measurements. In addition, the acquisition of images every 30° around the breast tissue could be used in future research in order to perform a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and an analysis of the captures through deep learning techniques. These could be combined with virtual, augmented, or mixed reality environments to predict the position of tumors, increase the likelihood of a correct medical diagnosis, and develop a training system for specialists. Furthermore, the system allows for the possibility to develop analysis of optical characterization for new phantom studies in breast cancer diagnosis through bioimaging techniques.
