Introduction. Diversification of education of children with special needs, carried out on the basis of the inclusive educational paradigm, actualized the tasks of formation and development of inclusive competencies of teachers in general educational organizations. These competencies, however, should be considered in their connection with inclusive dispositions of a teacher as meaning structures of his/her personality. But the problem of interrelation of inclusive dispositions and teachers’ competences has not been empirically developed so far. Establishing the nature of the relationship between inclusive dispositions and competences of teachers of general education organizations was the purpose of the study, which was implemented in the context of the typological approach to inclusive dispositions of teachers and the materials of which are presented in the paper. Materials and Methods. The study surveyed 759 primary, secondary, and supplementary education teachers from 7 federal districts of Russia. The authors employed diagnostic methods, including a situational professional test for evaluating the development of inclusive competencies in teachers, as well as a self-identification questionnaire for determining a teacher’s inclusive dispositions. Results. The materials of the study show that there are reliable differences between teachers characterized by different types of inclusive dispositions with regard to all basic inclusive competencies. Least of all they are formed among teachers with pronounced negative and skeptical inclusive dispositions, with the negative disposition acting as a predictor of underdevelopment of teachers’ inclusive competencies, while the links of supportive and analytical inclusive dispositions with teachers’ inclusive competencies are weak, although reliable. Discussion and Conclusion. The study, augmented by newly obtained empirical data, enhances understanding of the professional and personal readiness of teachers for inclusive education. Its findings underscore the necessity of focused efforts to shape and refine the perceptions of a teacher’s professional activities within inclusive settings. This necessitates their integration into the development of professional training programs geared towards inclusion for teachers.

The article again addresses the issue of forensic examinations of incapacity or limited capacity due to the mental disorder in the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation. The article critically discusses the common objections to establishing a mandatory appointment for a comprehensive forensic psychological and psychiatric examination in this category of cases. The author observes how this proposed requirement is connected with earlier legislation updates. The new rule logically follows from the need to consider, in according to law, a person’s ability for decision making and social communication. Currently, a comprehensive forensic psychological and psychiatric examination is appointed too rarely in these cases, which leads to the insufficient comprehension of these significant factors by the courts. Organizational and technical hurdles, which are considered to be main arguments against the discussed rule, shouldn’t prevent the long overdue legislation innovations. Statistical data presented by the opponents relates to different categories of cases and, therefore, cannot be a basis for the conclusions about the issue discussed.

Introduction and objective. Receiving a cancer diagnosis can lead to significant mental distress, highlighting the necessity for comprehensive medical care that includes psychological support. Effective psycho-oncological therapy can help patients find fulfillment regardless of their prognosis, while also improving overall outcomes and treatment adherence. This article aims to review the medical literature on the mental health challenges faced by cancer patients and to explore potential treatment modalities. Review methods. Implementing Google Scholar and PubMed, a literature analysis was conducted, with particular attention paid to terms like "psychooncology," "anxiety," "depression," "cancer," "grief," and "PTSD." The period of consideration for articles was from 2017 to 2024. Brief description of the state of knowledge. Grief, anxiety, PTSD, despair, and other mental health problems can arise after receiving a cancer diagnosis. In order to improve treatment adherence and survival rates, psychological well-being must be addressed. Empirical evidence indicates that psychological disorders can hinder adherence to therapy and elevate the risk of death from cancer. Furthermore, as families often endure significant stress throughout the disease, psychological care is beneficial to both patients and their relatives. It is possible to enhance adherence and reduce symptoms by using an integrated strategy that takes into consideration both physical and mental health. Conclusions. An essential part of holistic cancer care is psycho-oncology, which enhances patients' general health and quality of life. Psycho-oncological therapy must be incorporated into standard cancer care in order to improve treatment outcomes and assist patients in overcoming their condition.

CRC occupies one of the leading positions among gastrointestinal malignancies and is a significant problem in Europe since it is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer. Recent developments in diagnostic techniques have led to higher chances of early diagnosis and survival; nevertheless, CRC is highly likely to relapse in the survivorably younger individuals. The importance of the current chemotherapy treatment and potential key therapeutic targets are identified in this review so that the molecular alterations causing drug resistance in CRC can be studied.Current literature formed the basis of this review by reviewing the molecular processes that underlie CRC, with emphasis on the mutational alterations in genes such as SENP1, KRAS, APC, TP53, and BRAF that play critical roles in CRC and resistance to treatment. Chemotherapy for CRC, targeting therapies, and immuno therapies have been discussed particularly with reference to their effectiveness for treatment and overcoming resistance.Genomic alterations in some important genes are involved in the onset of CRC and also determined the response to therapies. The KRAS mutations are associated with the resistance to EGFR inhibitors; however, BRAF mutations require BRAF/MEK inhibitors. Lack of MMR system SSR as a trigger for MSI-H status suggests a better response to immunotherapies. In addition, new molecules including SENP1, which involved the DNA repair pathway, and combination using CDK4/6 inhibitors are currently under development to overcome resistance and enhance the patients’ benefits.Colorectal cancer is still a problem, primarily because of its genetic character and high rates of recurrence. Even though chemotherapy and targeted therapies offer helpful results, the problem of resistance stands in the way. Subsequent studies should aim at symptomatic treatment outcomes and combine different drugs in order to enhance long-term treatment outcomes.

В статті досліджено сучасні підходи до визначення цілей норм адміністративного права. З’ясовано, що коли аналізуються інститути чи підгалузі адміністративного права, окрема норма адміністративного права чи її взаємодія із іншими нормами національного права, то у всіх цих випадках мова йде про норму права, яка за кількісними параметрами набула нову «внутрішню якість» і у зв’язку із цим змінила свій прояв у навколишньому світі, що, в свою чергу, позначається на цілепокладанні норм адміністративного права: а) як найменшого елементу у системі права; б) у синергії із іншими нормами правового інституту; в) у синергії із іншими галузевими нормами; г) у синергії із іншими нормами національного права. Встановлено, що за цільовою спрямованістю норм адміністративного права їх слід поділяти на п’ять груп: 1) первинні регулятивні – спрямовані на регулювання базових суспільних відносин (закріплення прав і обов’язків державних службовців, як учасників адміністративних правовідносин); 2) регулятивно-заохочувальні – спрямовані на підтримання в суспільстві і у конкретної особи законослухняної поведінки (закріплення загальнонаціональних заходів заохочення для працівників освіти); 3) регулятивно-охоронні – спрямовані на охорону базових правовідносин від можливих посягань (закріплення складів адміністративних правопорушень у КУпАП); 4) регулятивно-захисні – спрямовані на захист вже порушених базових правовідносин (розгляд публічно-правових спорів в адміністративному суді за вимогами КАС України); 5) регулятивно-перспективні – визначають орієнтири, до яких слід прагнути, але які з різних причин залишаються недосяжними тут і зараз (наприклад, інтеграція України в європейський політичний, економічний, безпековий, правовий простір). Запропоновано поділяти цілі норм адміністративного права в залежності від рівня правового регулювання (базові, галузеві, загальнонаціональні цілі та цілі правових інститутів), в залежності від результатів, що очікуються (функціональні і предметні цілі), в залежності від потенційних строків їх досягнення (поетапні і безетапні цілі), в залежності від сфери реалізації та отримання корисного ефекту (юридичні, неюридичні та змішані цілі).

In September-October 2023 in the Hermitage-Siberia center of the Omsk Region Museum of Fine Arts. M. A. Vrubel hosted the exhibition «Siberian Seasons of the Leningrad Philharmonic. To the 80th anniversary of the 1943 tour»; the project had great public outcry. The exhibition featured unique documents, restored at the St. Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, related to the stay and creative activities of the Philharmonic in the Siberian rear. A conversation with Yu. Z. Kantor, the curator of this museum project, that took place in October 2023, is devoted to its significance and substantive features.

На підставі аналізу різноманітних підходів визначено теоретико-правові ідеї щодо ефективності механізму цілепокладання норм адміністративного права, а також висловлено авторську точку зору з деяких принципових аспектів порушеної проблематики. Зауважено, що авторка є прихильницею так званого комплексного підходу, згідно з яким оцінка будь якого явища з точки зору його ефективності має різноаспектне спрямовування. Разом з тим, слід відзначити, що враховуючи специфіку та зміст механізму цілепокладання норм адміністративного права, в основі такого оцінювання є пріоритетним саме цільовий підхід, згідно з яким здійснюється аналіз досягнення механізмом цілепокладання норми адміністративного права реальних кінцевих результатів, що уособлюються в правових наслідках реалізації норм. При цьому серед аспектів такого аналізу є блок соціальних та економічних оцінок, де першочерговість того чи іншого аспекту у тому чи іншому випадку визначається залежно від характеру, рівня або ж спрямування тої чи іншої групи норм адміністративного права яка піддається оцінці – тобто є безпосереднім предметом оцінювання на ефективність. Підкреслено, що соціальними чи економічними аспектами ефективність механізму цілепокладання норм адміністративного права не обмежується. Вказаний механізм може піддаватися оцінці на предмет політичного (визначає ефективність механізму цілепокладання в аспекті здатності держави виконувати внутрішні та зовнішні функції тощо); психологічного (оцінює здатність механізму цілепокладання забезпечувати сприйняття норм адміністративного права їх адресатами); конфліктного (визначає здатність механізму цілепокладання впливати на рівень конфліктності в суспільстві в цілому, у певній соціальній групі, колективі тощо) та інших аспектів. Констатовано, що ефективність механізму цілепокладання норм адміністративного права – це комплексна категорія, що включає у себе сукупність критеріїв та показників, що визначають рівень досягнення процесом формулювання та корегування цілей норм адміністративного права конкретних соціальних, економічних, політичних або інших результатів, що проявляється внаслідок реалізації вказаних норм.

Introduction. The aim of this paper was to look into the status of competence-based support for the inclusive education of children with disabilities from the standpoint of the unity of the competence-based approach to the preparation and professional activity of a teacher at an inclusive educational organization. Its relevance is defined by the need to determine the level of formation of inclusive competence of teachers in its direct correlation with the competence models embedded in the programs of inclusive-oriented university’s training of teachers. Materials and Methods. The study involved 1 340 teachers working in inclusive educational organizations of general and additional education. They do not have university training in the field of defectology. The diagnostic and methodological basis for assessing the level of formation of inclusive professional competencies of a teacher was the authors-developed test that combined test tasks to identify the readiness of teachers to implement the right professional actions and decisions in conditions of inclusion. Results. The results obtained indicate the imbalance in the formation of the key components of the professional competencies of teachers for inclusive education. Teachers have the most pronounced inclusive competencies in the field of individual or joint support with other specialists of a child with disabilities in the educational process and the organization of an individual learning route for him/her. The least pronounced component of inclusive professional competencies is the knowledge about development of children with disabilities. The success of solving situational problems is mediated by the nature of teachersʼ activities and their inclusive practice experience. Discussion and Conclusion. The research materials may be in demand when designing training programs, professional retraining and advanced training of teachers of inclusive educational organizations, as well as in the framework of express diagnostics of the level of formation of inclusive competencies of teachers.

Представлен анализ сюжетов международной жизни, касающихся премьер «Ленинградской симфонии» Д. Д. Шостаковича вне пределов СССР, их подготовки и эффекта, произведенного ими на политический истеблишмент, гуманитарную элиту и простых слушателей в 1942–1943 гг. Конкуренция выдающихся дирижеров – А. Тосканини, Л. Стоковского, Г. Вуда, С. Кусевицкого и др. – за право западной премьеры, переписка с ними самого композитора, формирование общественного мнения и, наконец, эпизод, связанный с несостоявшейся поездкой Шостаковича в США в 1942 г., позволяют существенно дополнить ретроспективную картину «путешествия» Седьмой симфонии по Европе и США. Привлеченные документы акцентируют внимание на общественно-политических итогах эпопеи представления Западу произведения, которое «содействует поддержке непреклонного духа, на котором основаны наши общие надежды на конечную победу», и «выражает мощь России так, как этого никогда не сможет сделать слово», и на роли в ней Наркомата иностранных дел, побуждая к рефлексии о роли искусства в мире, охваченном войной. Они дают возможность проследить хронологию дипломатического «сопровождения» премьер Ленинградской симфонии на Западе в 1942–1943 гг., а также увидеть, кто «дирижировал» воистину победоносным ее звучанием не только в странах-союзницах, но и в нейтральных государствах. В статье использованы документы АВП РФ, касающиеся исполнения «Ленинградской симфонии» вне пределов СССР, впервые вводимые в научный оборот.

Зазначено, що у пошуку відповідей на питання про особливості норм адміністративного права, як об’єкту цілепокладання, проблематика їх структури є одним із ключових. Саме тому вказане питання завжди було у полі зору як вітчизняних, так і зарубіжних дослідників. У зв’язку з цим актуальним бачиться визначення теоретико-правових засад визначення структури адміністративно-правової норми, що у свою чергу, дозволить визначитись із особливостями формування цілей норм адміністративного права. Вказане й обумовило формулювання мети дослідження – на підставі аналізу різноманітних підходів визначити теоретико-правові засади формування структури адміністративно-правової норми, а також висловити авторську точку зору з деяких принципових аспектів порушеної проблематики. Підтримуючи, традиційний підхід до вирішення вказаного наукового завдання, разом із тим автор уточнює, що категорія «структура норми права» введена саме для опису взаємозв’язків та взаємодії між елементами норми, а останні слід розглядати так би мовити проекційно від вказаного блоку питань. Іншими словами, якщо виходити із загальновизнаної тези про те, що норма права є системою, то її структура (як предмет дослідження) у першу чергу має вивчатися та аналізуватися крізь призму сукупності істотних зв’язків її елементів. Зазначено, що між елементами норми адміністративного права існують міцні зв’язки, які проявляються у тому, що усі вони у своїй єдності відображають публічно-правову природу норми, забезпечують ефект та відповідну результативність конкретної адміністративно-правової норми. Ті елементи, які не володіють названими властивостями, відповідно, не входять до системи відповідної норми права, утворюючи, як наслідок, правовий припис у якому уособлюється інша норма права, або навіть утворюючи будь-яку іншу соціальну, але не правову норму. Доведено, що структура адміністративно-правової норми – це внутрішні та зовнішні зв’язки вертикального та горизонтального рівня, що забезпечують єдність елементів норми та цілісних властивостей, виділених на основі принципів збереження та інваріантності, яка відображає публічно-правову природу норми та забезпечує її правовий ефект та результативність.

The paper is devoted to the issue of assessing the range of inclusive teacher competencies by the pedagogical community and their comparative significance for achieving the required learning results by students with disabilities. The paper presents the results of an empirical study aimed at identifying the general and specific in assessing the importance of inclusive competencies of a teacher by various subjects of staffing the inclusive educational process at school. The study involved 983 pedagogical workers employed in mass and correctional schools, as well as in pedagogical universities. They were asked to assess the significance of a set of indicators of the competence of an inclusive teacher, obtained on the basis of an analysis of the texts of 59 approximate basic educational programs for the training of future specialists in the field of inclusion. The results of the study demonstrated that a holistic assessment paradigm has not been formed in the pedagogical community in relation to the inclusive competencies of a teacher, which is expressed in the divergence of the corresponding assessment positions of university teachers who train teachers, teachers of mass and special schools. This confirms the need for further development of the model of inclusive competence of a teacher, its empirical verification and subsequent implementation in educational programs of continuous teacher education in accordance with the rapidly changing conditions of professional activity of teachers in an inclusive school.

The project aimed to understand the lived experience with inclusive education in the case of a secondary school student with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1), his mother and a teacher. Data collected by semi-structured interviews were analyzed by van Manen's thematic analyses of lived experience, whereas three significant themes were identified. Firstly, the quality of communication between school and parents; secondly, the level of empathy, understanding and helpfulness, and thirdly, collaboration between colleagues. Research shows the necessity to expand the education of teachers on the issue of special needs of learners with chronic diseases and extend the educational goals to psychological factors associated with their increased emotional burden. Mutual collaboration of all participants and self-reflection of teachers, supporting good peer relationships and positive school climate is essential.

Introduction. The diversification in education means, inter alia, establishing an institutional balance between integration and differentiation, which should also hold true for visually-impaired children. Junior age is a sensitive period for the development of communicative skills. Hence, one of the key tasks on the educational agenda for visually-impaired junior high school students is the development of communicative competence. The paper is the first attempt to identify how institutional and educational setting impacts the development of communicative competence in junior high school students, namely, such aspects of communicative competence as content/compliance with communication standards, attitude/role relationships, position/function, and involvement/activity. Materials and Methods.The evidence was obtained from four schools in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Region. The survey included 55 respondents in grades 1‒3 with deferent degrees of visual impairment from inclusive educational settings with partial integration / differentiation. The methodology included such tools as Effective Communication: Raising Awareness of Visually-Impaired Students; a scale-based interview and questionnaire; L. Mikhelson’s Communication Skills test modified by L.S. Kolmogorova; Joint Sorting by G.V. Burmenskaya; and G.A. Tsukerman’s Picture Dictation. The data was processed using Student's t-test for dependent and independent samples and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results. The assessment of communicative competence in schoolchildren embraced several aspects: content/compliance with communication standards; attitude/role relationships; position/function; involvement/activity. In the context of inclusive education with partial integration and differentiation, visually-impaired junior high school students show different development levels of different aspects of communicative competence. This context has a selective and ambivalent effect. Discussion and Conclusion. The results may find application in the design and testing of a variable modular programme aimed at the development of communicative competence in visually-impaired junior high school students. The results may also lay the foundation for the rehabilitation and training strategy for visually-impaired students and facilitate their integration in social and educational environment.

Objectives. The current study aimed to examine family cohesion and adaptability in Chinese caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The authors used the concept of Circumplex Model as a theoretical background for this study. Background. With the number of children being diagnosed with ASD having increased in recent years, more and more caregivers of children with ASD may experience long-term challenges and stress related to the scope of the care and the psychological burden. In general, family cohesion and adaptability are important sources of support for families. Therefore, it’s imperative to examine family cohesion and adaptability and the influencing factors in caregivers of children with ASD. Study design. The study examined the level of family cohesion and adaptability by calculating the scores of the scales and comparing them with the national norm. The study explored the influencing factors by using difference tests and multiple linear regression analysis. Participants. 168 caregivers of children with ASD from Sichuan province in China. Measurements. A brief demographic questionnaire and Chinese version of Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES II-CV). Results. Caregivers of children with ASD scored significantly higher on family cohesion than that of the norm, while significantly lower on adaptability. Variables including child’s functional level, caregiver’s marital status, employment status, and place of residence all had significant predictive power on both family cohesion and adaptability, while monthly income also had significant predictive power on family cohesion. Conclusions. Family cohesion perceived by Chinese caregivers of children with ASD was at a higher level, while their adaptability was at a lower level. Both family cohesion and adaptability were influenced by children’s functional level, caregivers’ marital status, employment status, place of residence, while cohesion was also influenced by family income. These factors may be used as predictors of family cohesion and adaptability in the counselling practice and help to develop services supporting the development of more balanced family types.

Сюжеты Второй мировой войны, безусловно относящиеся к «сложным вопросам истории», до сих пор не отрефлексированы и оттого полны фобий и мифов. Анализируя набор инструментов исторической политики, автор выделяет следующие: политизация истории (следование политической конъюнктуре), манипуляция фактами, героизация (глорификация) истории и ее акторов, демонизация – конструирование образа внутреннего и внешнего врага, идеологическое цензурирование контраверсивных оценок, актуализация социополитической ностальгии. Применение всего этого арсенала идеологического воздействия на массовое сознание можно увидеть в резонансных социополитических эксцессах последнего времени. Различие исторических оценок – это реальность, которую бессмысленно затушевывать. Преодоление исторических травм – «сочетания истории и памяти» – является непреложным условием нормализации, объективизации рефлексии по поводу прошлого. Предметом внимания автора стали внешнеполитические инвективы, ставшие очагами дипломатической напряженности (в частности, Декларация Европарламента о начале Второй мировой войны, принятая в 2019 г.), деятельность правительственных организаций, «отвечающих» за историческую политику (украинский Институт национальной памяти), экспозиции музеев стран Восточной Европы (Музей Второй мировой войны в Гданьске, Музей оккупации в Риге), школьные учебники по истории, судьба памятников, посвященных Второй мировой войне (в частности, Бронзового солдата в Таллине), а также публичные историко-политические акции, переворачивающие историческую реальность (например, шествия в День легионера в Риге), и проявления цензуры изданий с альтернативным взглядом на травмирующие события войны.

Aim. Comparison of water quality according to 19 indicators: odour at 20°C, odour at 60°C, taste, colour, turbidity, total iron, permanganate oxidation, dry residue, total hardness, oil products, surfactants, phenolic index, nitrates (NO3‐), chlorides (Сl‐), fluorides (F‐), sulphates (SO42‐), zinc (Zn2+), copper (Сu, total), pH value of two infiltration water intakes in the south‐eastern region of the Republic of Belarus. Identification and analysis of linear trends, and determination of trends in the dynamics of indicator values. Material and Methods. As initial data we used the results of quarterly measurements of the values of borehole water indicators of the infiltration water intakes. Results. By comparing the relative concentrations of the mean annual values of the studied quality indicators for two water intakes, it was revealed that the priority indicators are odour at 20°C, odour at 60°C, taste, chromaticity, turbidity, and iron. By comparing the relative concentrations of total iron, it was found that the concentration in the wells of WI 1 is much higher than in the wells of WI 2, probably due to the presence of rocks and minerals from moraine and fluvioglacial complexes of glacial deposits. For other indicators the values were approximately on the same level. Conclusion. By constructing matrices of pair correlation and geographic proximity for each of the priority indicators, well groups were identified whose water quality is interrelated and which were subsequently aggregated as a single group.

The article deals with statistical processing of monitoring data for the content of trihalomethanes in drinking water of one of the infiltration Ufa water intakes. Using the methods of mathematical statistics, the following parameters were revealed: the distribution density of the total content of trihalomethanes in drinking water, the likelihood of occurrence of adverse events associated with the formation of trihalomethanes as a result of the chlorination of drinking water. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the most common concentrations of the total content of trihalomethanes lie in the range 5.8-8.1 μg / dm3 . It was found that the distribution density of the total concentration of trihalomethanes is described by the power dependence ρ (TGM) = 0.348 × Q-2.18 (confidence level R2 = 0.94). It was concluded that the situation at the selected infiltration water intake can be considered favorable, since with a probability of 99%, the total concentration of THM does not exceed 18.03 μg / dm3 with an available maximum concentration of 100 μg / dm3 .

The study of therapeutic uses of musical improvisation can help to improve music therapy assessment which is the aim of this paper. This paper identifies 1. the individual challenges and strengths that may help to deal with problems reflected in musical improvisations of children with special needs and, 2. ways of their identification while listening to the children’s musical expression. Data collected from 180 verbal descriptions of musical improvisations of four children with special needs and then analysed using grounded theory as well as content analysis of documents. It was found that music reflects children’s problems (with mainly bio-behavioural character) as well as their strengths that may be helpful in coping with those problems. Some theoretical guidelines for analysis of musical improvisation and the planning of music therapy intervention were suggested based on these findings.

Aim. In the present investigation artificial neural network (ANN) and ARIMA-model are compared for forecasting of data of colour of water.Methods. Data corresponds to the colour of water of groundwater and drinking water of water intake of south-east region of the Republic of Belarus. The definition of colour was carried out for the period from 2009 to 2017. twice a day, the time series of values included 5215 values. The parameters of the models were estimated by 85% of the time series values, and the remaining 15% of the values (the test period) compared the forecast values with the actual ones. Optimal configurations of ARIMA-models were determined from the results of comparing the averaged values of the root mean squared errors (RMSE); optimal configurations of ANN were determined from the results of comparing the averaged values of RMSE and correlation coefficients (CC) on the test periods.Results. Comparison of forecasting methods was carried out on the basis of the averaged values of mean absolute error and mean relative error on the test periods. It was revealed that ANN allows to obtain the predicted values of colour of water more accurate than ARIMA-model.Main conclusions. Software implementation of ANN in the MATLAB environment empowers with sufficient accuracy get forecast values of groundwater and drinking water for 100 values.

Восприятие и осмысление Второй мировой войны во многом являются стержневыми для исторической самоидентификации представителей нескольких поколений. И полем для политических манипуляций. Так, в частности, в государствах Балтии популярной является идеологема о том, что нацистская оккупация была путем к «освобождению от Советов». Участие в боевых действиях или служба в тыловых подразделениях под знаменами со свастикой трактуются ими как «борьба за независимость». Архивные документы об истинных планах, методах и плодах их реализации руководством Третьего рейха в отношении Прибалтики и населявших ее титульных народов позволяют рассмотреть картину происходившего в этом регионе в 1941–1944 гг. Коллекция материалов оперативного штаба рейхсляйтера Розенберга в Риге, хранящаяся в Латвийском государственном историческом архиве (Latvijas Valsts Vēstures arhīvs), и находящиеся в Центральном архиве ФСБ России документы «Рижского процесса» вкупе с новейшей историографией стали основой предлагаемой статьи. Особое внимание уделено реальным планам руководства рейха в отношении предоставления независимости Латвии, Литве и Эстонии, функционированию «самоуправлений», действиям оккупационных властей, касающимся национальных языков, культуры и образования «неперспективных народов» – литовцев, латышей и эстонцев, создания формирований СС и иных военизированных подразделений из представителей балтийских народов, а также экономическим аспектам нацистской политики на территории «Остланд».

This article is based on unpublished documents from the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI) and is devoted to Leon Trotsky’s pre-revolutionary period of life. The author focuses on Trotsky’s personality development and dominant character traits, and his relationship with his family. By analysing archival primary sources, not only can we restore the gaps in the biography of one of the most influential and successful figures of the Russian revolutionary movement but follow his “first steps” of psychosocial transformation from a sentimental Marxist romantic into a cruel and cynical Bolshevik leader. The article draws attention to the causes of the complication of Trotsky’s (then Leiba Bronstein’s) relationship with his parents, and illustrates the height of his romance with his future wife Aleksandra Sokolovskaya. The article includes fragments of letters the young Marxist wrote in prison. Attention is also paid to the history of his escape from exile (with reference to gendarmerie correspondence) and the motivation of his conscious choice between family and political activity. Referring to archival documents (the Petrograd security department), the author reconstructs the “steps” of the political maturation and radicalisation of Trotsky’s views between 1902 and 1907. Archival sources, identified by the author, in conjunction with previously published materials, make it possible to supplement the psychological portrait of Trotsky as the father of two daughters who were born in Siberian exile and grew up during his emigration, and were “obscured” for their father by his ideas of a revolutionary coup.

The energy system in any country is the basis of the whole economy. The level of its development largely determines the quantity and quality of economic entities, periods of economic growth, fall and stagnation. A high percentage of the powerdeficient municipalities in the Russian Federation shows the substantive issues in this sphere that carries a threat to the energy security of the state. One of the promising trends for enhancing the energy security is the renewable energy sources (RES). Their use has the obvious benefits: it provides electricity to power-deficient and inaccessible areas, contributes to the introduction and spread of new technologies, thus solving the important social and economic problems. At that, it is important to determine the optimum ratio using of the recovery of renewable and conventional energy sources (CES). One of the main challenges in this regard is to build a model that adequately reflects the ratio of renewable and conventional energy sources in the Russian energy system. The paper presents the results of a synergistic approach to the construction of such a model. The Lotka-Volterra model was the main instrument used, which allowed to study a behavior pattern of the considered systems on the basis of the simplified regularities. It was found that the best possibility for the qualitative ”jump” in the Russian energy sector was in 2008. The calculations have allowed to investigate the behavior of the Russian energy system with the variation of the initial conditions and to assess the validity of the targets for the share of electricity produced through the use of renewable energy in the total electric power of the country.

Relevance of the work is determined by the task of developing low-toxic, biodegradable and inexpensive reagents for water based drilling muds chemical treatment. In this connection, the paper considers the methods for increasing the reactivity of neutral-sulphite liquors used as the basis of such reagents. The aim of the research is to study the feasibility of using phosphonic compounds in preparation of reagents based on neutral-sulphite liquors for treatment of drilling flushing fluids in order to improve their technological parameters Research methods: instrumental methods for determining drilling fluids parameters for taxiway 39-00147001-773-2004 ([ro] is the density, RV is the relative viscosity, [ita]pl is the plastic viscosity, [tau]0 is the yield point, the SSS is the static shear stress, IF is the index filtration, pH is the index of hydrogen ions content) supplemented with neutral sulfite liquors phosphonic compounds in acid nitrilomethylenephosphonic, sodium tripolyphosphate for both separate and combined entering into composition of drilling liquid Results. It was ascertained that inclusion of phosphonic compounds in composition of drilling reagents based on the neutral-sulfite liquor allows improving quality indicators of drilling fluids, contributing to sustainability of drilling system parameters to exposure of higher downhole temperature and mineral aggression providing high-thinning ability and reducing the drilling mud filtration rate. These properties of drilling reagents, modified by phosphonic compounds, allow converting low-reaction liquors used as the basis, to the part of the advanced resource-renewable domestic raw materials. Conclusion. Investigation of physicochemical properties and characteristics of liquors of neutral-sulfite digestion showed that, in spite of the reduced reactivity, they are a very promising component for reagents obtaining, especially in conditions of increased demand for renewable raw materials sources.

Competitiveness of production is a basic indicator for assessment of competitiveness of the enterprise, for making decisions on production in foreign economic activity. Today, there is no single approach and unified methodology for evaluating the competitiveness of products. At the same time, this assessment is the basis for the development of marketing providing and making decisions to enter into the new markets. The results of assessment show more adequate results than in the case of use of traditional methods. At the same time, the results of competitiveness evaluation are beyond any doubt in cases when a product has the best properties in a range of characteristics. The most existing methods for calculating the group indicators of production competitiveness averaged values of the analyzed indicators and did not allow them to evaluate the spread of values. The paper also examines the problem of production competitiveness evaluation by the aggregation of the indices characterized by significant heterogeneity of indices relatively to a product chosen as a sample. The degree of such heterogeneity is posed to evaluate with criterion of balanced indices, where reckoning is based on the metrical analysis. Competitiveness of production is a basic indicator for assessment of competitiveness of the enterprise, for making decisions on production, in foreign economic activity.

Proclaiming God’s Word is one of the most important tasks of the Church. God’s Word is the gift to the whole Church. It is first of all the presbyters who take part in the forwarding of this Word. Proclamation of God’s Word is the duty and the right stemming from accepted by them sacrament of ordination. Magisterium of the Church, especially Apostolic exhortation Verbum Domini dealing with God’s Word in the life and mission of the Church, talks in several passages about issues connected with proclamation of this Word by presbyters. The papal document gives tips for the priests, relating to preaching sermons, praying with Liturgy of Hours, conducting services based on God’s Word and relating to the value of silence, celebratory proclamation of God’s Word in the church, biblical ministry, the place of God’s Word in religious instructions and priest’s life.

Introduction. The institutionalisation of inclusion in higher education determines new requirements for university teachers, what is also found in the field of psychological readiness for the implementation of the educational process with the participation of students with disabilities. Aim. The present research was aimed to develop theoretical framework and experimental verification of the model of psychological readiness of academic teaching staff for the implementation of an inclusive educational process. Methodology and research methods. Methodologically, the research was based on the idea that the true implementation of inclusive higher education is conditioned by the formation of an inclusive culture of university teachers, which serves as the foundation for the implementation of inclusive practices and policies and one of the immanent attributes of which is psychological readiness to implement the educational process with the participation of disabled students. In the diagnostic and methodological terms, the current study relied on the authors' questionnaire containing the blocks of questions built using a 5-point Likert scale and characterising the severity of the various components of such readiness among university teachers in relation to working with disabled students of diverse nosological groups. The survey results were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively using the Cronbach Alpha coefficient, Shapiro-Wilk, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney tests, and the median test applying the Pearson test. To check the consistency of the proposed theoretical model of the psychological readiness of university teachers to implement an inclusive educational process, structural equation modelling (or SEM - the method of asymptotically non-parametric assessment) was employed. For statistical calculations, the program IBM SPSS Statistics ver.23 and the AMOS module were used. Results. The integrative model of the psychological readiness of faculty for the implementation of an inclusive educational process has been theoretically substantiated and experimentally confirmed. This model includes a motivational-value component (the acceptance of the values of an inclusive culture, beliefs and attitudes of the teacher regarding inclusive education), an affective component (the emotional acceptance of the situation of inclusive education and its subjects) and an operational component (the teacher's assessment of own skills in using the tools of inclusive education). In the presented model, the teacher's methodical preparedness for teaching students with disabilities acts as a cognitive component, and the resulting component is the implementation of inclusive practice based on the willingness and ability to interact with students with disabilities. It was found that, to the greatest extent, university teachers have formed a motivational readiness to implement inclusive education, but they experience a deficit of operational skills, when working with students with disabilities. At the same time, the level of psychological readiness to implement an inclusive educational process significantly differs depending on the subject specialisation of teachers and the presence / absence of previous experience of interaction with people with disabilities. Scientific novelty. The model of the psychological readiness of teachers for the implementation of inclusive education in Russia was developed and empirically confirmed. Practical significance. The findings of this research highlight the significance of the stages of the formation of university teachers' psychological readiness for inclusive education. The following stages are determined: from providing basic methodological readiness in the framework of professional development through the creation of internal conditions for readiness for inclusive education, examining the experiences and psychological difficulties in interacting with people with disabilities, and, finally, to accompanying the actual inclusive teaching practice.

Introduction. Nowadays, substantial intensification of inclusive processes in educational system (especially in higher education) identifies the need for thorough research of psycho-pedagogical foundations for the development of inclusive education culture.The aim of this research was to identify and compare the levels and factors of social-psychological well-being of healthy students, students with disabilities and students of inclusive groups.Methodology and research methods. At the methodological level, the research was based on the proposition that inclusive education assumes the formation and support of such an integrative socio-psychological space, in which neither students with disabilities nor healthy students feel anxiety in the course of interaction in the classroom or out-of-class situation. As the main methodological tool,a specially designed questionnaire was used for fixing the socio-emographic characteristics of the respondents, as well as for clarifying the problematic experiences of students and their attitudes to using social support resources, for identifying the characteristics of students’ assessments of the conditions of higher education, their satisfaction and involvement in student life and attitudes towards inclusive education. The received results of monitoring were processed by means of the following qualitative and quantitative methods of the analysis: the content analysis; the analysis of percentage with the use of the Pearson’s chi-squared test (χ2); comparative analysis with the use of Student’s t-test; the median test and one-factorial dispersive analysis; correlation and factorial types of the analysis. The statistical software packages Statistica 7.0 were employed for the calculation of the results.Results and scientific novelty. The authors clarified the patterns of formation of the barrier-free socio-psychological environment of the university, which implements the concept of inclusive education. It was established that there are no global differences in the parameters of socio-psychological well-being between students with disabilities and students without disabilities. This determines the favourable social and psychological prerequisites for development of inclusive higher education. Belonging to the same socio-typological and age group and the same leading activity cause the similar experience (e.g. similar problems and difficulties) of both groups of students. The type of disabling health condition, i.e. a disabled student with the defined particular nosological group determines only the specifics of the difficulties, which might be faced in higher school. The conclusion was drawn that successful inclusion of students with disabilities in educational process and social space of university contributes to positive students’ perception of the high school environment.Practical significance. The research outcomes might be used to define the content, directions and forms of work to support students in the conditions of inclusive education. Thus, it is recommended to further develop the system of inclusive education through the following actions: to optimise social conditions of disabled students; to hold rehabilitational and psychological training sessions focused on communication; to organise educational work in order to raise students’ awareness of special technical means of inclusive education; to involve inner circle of people (parents, friends, fellow students) close to disabled students in the process of socio-psychological support.

The conditions of formation of the nanocrystal state of the structure in carbon steels are considered in the article. The methods of research and experimental data on the microstructural structure of the strengthened parts of the working bodies of agricultural machinery made from carbon steels of the lowered hardenability are given. It is shown that pulsed quenching and low tempering provides of steel products with fragmented nanocrystal structure of the martensite. Fragmentation of martensite grains in carbon structural steels during heat treatment of parts significantly increases their mechanical characteristics.

The article presents the results of a questionnaire survey in the context of the idea of continuity of school and university education of persons with disabilities. 90 senior students with visual, hearing and motor impairments were the respondents of the survey. The purpose of the survey was to study the motives, preferences and needs of school graduates among disabled people, which determine the choice of their vocational and educational route. The survey reveals features of motivation for professional choice of various categories of enrollees with disabilities and its informational support; assesses the level of these enrollees needs in helping by career counselors; identifies the preferred forms of higher education by persons with disabilities; characterizes the needs of people with disabilities in special equipment and services in obtaining higher education, as well as in adaptation of educational programs in the university. The resulting practical-oriented conclusions concern both purpose and content of the work with disabled enrollees from among school graduates as well as approaches to the organization of higher education for persons with disabilities.

The article explores the issue of museum image creation and memorialization processes of the Great Patriotic War events during the times of the war which was not studied by soviet or post-soviet historiography. The author focuses on the principles and aims of the government order of the coverage of the aforementioned events and analyzes a number of directive and instructional documents of the Ministry of Education of the USSR and Russian SFSR, the Department for Agitation and Propaganda of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, regional authorities along with documents retrieved from museum archives and containing information on the collection, enlightenment and exhibition activity. Additionally, analyzing the documents, guide books and catalogues of exhibitions and memorials published in the course of war as well as memoirs, the author describes such issues as the glorification of the Great Patriotic War events, forbidden plots absent from the verbal and object representation in the museums (prisoner-of-war camps, collaboration, etc.) and the almost instant mythologization of the military theme and the increase in the ideological control of museum activity. The author describes principles of material collection (from war trophies to amateur posters) which made it possible to create collections in demand of exhibitions that followed the events at the front and home front. The author also analyzes exhibitions established in historical and revolutionary, local history and fine arts museums of the Republic, their thematic focus (which was of important propaganda significance), the periodization, its documental sources, etc. The museum materials under consideration enable the author to reconstruct the peculiarities of the exhibition and enlightenment activity of the home front regions as well as at the sites of battles and the territory liberated from occupation, and, on the other hand, study an important ideological task, i. e. the formation of a unified memory space by as early as 1945.
