Authors: Jariyah Ainun , Putri Ratu Ilma Indra , Zulkardi
Published: October 2024

Students must have strong mathematical thinking skills after seeing reflection learning videos with a Palembang songket context. The goal is to create a realistic and practical learning film, and to understand the potential impact of students' mathematical reasoning abilities on Palembang songket setting through reflection material. This study employs PMRI and a collaborative learning approach. Design research is used to conduct development studies. While the subjects were 28 kids from class IX.B with varying capacities. Data were gathered by observation, exams, and interviews. Data analysis methods included observation, testing, and interviews. The learning video on reflection material using the context of Palembang songket is valid and practical, and students' mathematical reasoning skills have been classified as good with an average value of 65.81 following the implementation of learning using learning videos, with the most frequent indicator appearing as making conjectures and the least frequent indicator appearing as drawing conclusions. The difficulty with this study is the absence of compelling learning films offered. Students can improve their mathematical reasoning skills by watching learning films about reflection material set in the setting of Palembang Songket.

Authors: Asare Bright , Welcome Natalie B. , Arthur Yarhands Dissou
Published: October 2024

The study examines the influence of parental involvement and academic motivation on students' mathematics performance, mediated by students' interest in mathematics. The current study adopts a descriptive-correlational research design. The study population comprises all first-year and second-year senior high students in the Central Region of Ghana. A sample of 290 students was randomly selected from four senior high schools in the Central Region of Ghana. The researcher used stratified sampling techniques to categorize the students into the various courses offered in the schools and employed simple random sampling techniques to select respondents from each stratum for the study. A structured questionnaire was used as a research instrument to collect data from the target population. Analysis of Moment Structures (Amos) version 23 and IBM SPSS version 23 were used as analysis tools for data analysis. The analysis results show that parental involvement, academic motivation, and students' interest in mathematics have a significant positive effect on mathematics achievement. Furthermore, students' interest in mathematics partially mediates the link between parental involvement and mathematics achievement. Finally, students' interest in mathematics partially mediates the connection between mathematics motivation and mathematics achievement. The study recommends that parents must be fully involved in their children's education, especially in their mathematics learning, by providing students with the necessary support to improve their mathematics learning and performance.

Authors: Utami Alfida Mukti , Pramudiani Puri
Published: October 2024

One of the demands of 21st century learning is critical thinking. However, nowadays, students' critical thinking skills are still relatively low, particularly in geometry. This research aims to explore students' critical thinking skills through the design of a series of lessons. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) underlies the design and the context applied. This study was conducted in one of the elementary schools in Jakarta, involving 30 grade IV elementary school students as the research subjects. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with an educational ethnographic approach. Data collection techniques involved observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of a traditional game-based learning design called Damdas 3 Batu can support students’ critical thinking skills. Through this game, students are able to comprehend the given problems, construct mathematical models adapted to the provided context, solve the problems, and ultimately derive conclusions from the obtained results. Therefore, Damdas 3 Batu can serve as a valuable instructional reference for teaching geometry concepts in elementary schools.
Social networks as a tool for building trust in government in a client-centered model of the state
Authors:   Южно-Российский институт управления – филиал Российской академии народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте РФ, Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Алексей Викторович Баранов
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of a study conducted to identify the opinions of state and municipal employees of the reunified regions on the introduction of a client-centered approach into the official communication space of social networks. The author's hypothesis is that a client-centered approach in the process of interaction between government representatives and citizens contributes not only to the formation of an open, honest and direct dialogue between the government and society, but also to the formation of public confidence in government representatives and authorities in relation to citizens. In this regard, an attempt was made to identify factors that negatively affect the client-centricity of communication and destroy mutual trust.

Published: October 2024

The article considers key characteristics of media communication technology in the political sphere in the context of the current geopolitical situation. The author explores the influence of modern media communication for political information. The article analyses the features of application of media communication technologies by various political actors, as well as their influence on public opinion formation and political preference. The article is of interest to specialists in the field of political science, sociology, journalism and other humanities, as well as to a wide range of readers interested in modern trends in the development of media communication technologies and their impact on the political sphere. The author of the article considers political communication as a process of transfer of politically relevant information between different elements of the political system with the aim of its subsequent assimilation. The digital factors of influence of media communications on political environment are analyzed. Modern media communication technologies provide new opportunities for political actors to influence public opinion and shape the political preferences of citizens. However, they can also be used to spread misinformation and manipulate the public consciousness, so the author points out the importance of professionalizing knowledge in this area to prevent the dissemination of inaccurate information. It seems that political actors in the digital environment need to intensify interaction with online platforms, digital services and social networks for effective interaction with the population.

Political projectivism in party building
Authors:   Волгоградский институт управления – филиал Российской академии народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте РФ, Волгоград, Россия, Алексей Михайлович Логинов
Published: October 2024

To this day, political design is the subject of academic and public discussions, the result of which is the realization of private, rational, rather than social, interests related to ideas and ideologies. To the greatest extent, this criticism affects the processes of party building. In the mass (and partly in expert) consciousness, parties are defined as institutions aimed at promoting social interests. Within the framework of such views, any emerging and developing project is considered as a de-ideologized formation, based on the rational goals and motives of its participants. Accordingly, the assessment of political projectivism in party building is an important and relevant research task and forms the purpose of this article. The methodological basis of the study was made up of systemic and neo-institutional approaches, the combination of which made it possible to consider political design as a sustainable practice, implemented in the system of political interaction and transforming the essence of modern party organizations. The study also took into account the projective approach of public administration, which defines projects as key components of political (and party) functioning. The main research methods were the general scientific principles of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison, as well as the applied method of situational analysis (case-study), which made it possible to determine the significance of political projectivism in their formation and functioning using specific examples of Russian parties. The conclusions of the article are that in the processes of modern party building, political projectivism is a natural and integral process of insti-tutional interaction. It is associated with both objective processes of transformation of modern political and party systems, as well as political parties themselves, and with the subjective orientations of political figures to obtain and maintain positions of power, based on rational planning and use of their available resources. As Russian party history shows, the implementation of party projects can have negative and positive aspects associated with the implementation of activities by such parties, which are also of a pro-ject nature and focused on working with the electorate, including those involving the solution of certain social issues.
Institutional changes in China's employment: retrospective analysis
Authors:   Южный федеральный университет, Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Пэн Лю
Published: October 2024

During the period of market reform and economic opening up, China's employment policy has undergone profound institutional changes. Since 1978, in the process of building a socialist market economy with Chinese specifics, there has been a large-scale institutional transformation of the state policy of distributing the total labor force of society across territories, industries and enterprises into a policy of supporting employment through state regulation of the labor market, improving the education system and creating the institution of social protection of workers. Four stages of institutional transformation of China's economic employment policy have been identified. For more than 40 years of reform and gradual improvement over the centralized distribution of labor force, the employment policy by now organically combines the market mechanism with an effective system of state regulation of employment. It is substantiated that institutional changes in China were implemented purposefully, providing a gradualist replacement of the centrally planned distribution of labor force in the prereform economy by a labor market with sufficiently effective state regulation with gradual supplementation and expansion of successful rules. The impact of institutional changes on the structure of employment in rural areas is analyzed, as well as the emergence of new challenges that are associated with adaptation to the new economic system.
Development of a comprehensive indicator for assessing the state of urban electric transport for the executive authorities of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Российская академия народного хозяйства и государственной службы при Президенте Российской Федерации, Москва, Максим Вадимович Фандюшин
Published: October 2024

This article analyzes 115 cities on the territory of the Russian Federation in which one or more urban electric transport systems operate. It is determined that in the modern industry there is no single comprehensive indicator of the state of urban electric transport, which would allow an assessment of the state of systems not only in relation to their own indicators of previous years, but also in relation to other, similar systems. A comprehensive indicator is proposed that will allow a comprehensive assessment of the state of urban electric transport and interpret it in numerical terms for its application by state and regional authorities, allowing to quickly draw conclusions and make a decision on further adjustment of the functioning of the electric transport system, characterized by a relatively simple formula for calculation and does not require specific competencies for those conducting the analysis. The key indicators of urban electric transport are systematized, including those related to the operated energy infrastructure, linear infrastructure, park facilities, including technical buildings and structures for system maintenance, indicators related to rolling stock and its key technical characteristics, as well as the availability of urban electric transport for residents of the considered locality and passenger flows within this framework systems. The boundaries of the values of the final indicator have been determined, within which the state of urban electric transport will be assessed by state and regional authorities as satisfactory or unsatisfactory and requiring decisions on revising approaches to the development of the system within the framework of strategic transport planning documents.
Pragmatic Analysis of Translation Techniques in the Subtitles of the Film 'Theeb' / Analisis Pragmatik Teknik Penerjemahan dalam Subtitle Film 'Theeb”
Authors: Siti Sholihatun Nisa  , Nur Kholis Muhammad
Published: October 2024

Translation in the context of film media is often influenced by the ideologies of the translators and production companies. This influence can significantly shape how meaning is conveyed to audiences from different cultural backgrounds. This study aims to analyze the translation techniques used in the subtitles of the film "Theeb" through a pragmatic approach to understand how translators handle the intentions behind the film's dialogue. A descriptive qualitative research method is employed to analyze the conversation transcripts from the film. Speech act theory is applied to explore how various translation techniques are used to convey the original intentions of the dialogue accurately. The findings reveal that seven out of the eighteen translation techniques proposed by Albir and Molina are utilized in the film: literal translation, modulation, idiomatic, established equivalent, compensation, and adaptation. This research provides insights into the application of speech act theory in film subtitle translation and identifies effective techniques for accurately conveying speech intentions in different cultural and linguistic contexts. The study underscores the necessity for translators to consider cultural context and ideologies in translation to ensure that the subtitles are both accurate and culturally sensitive. Further research should explore translation techniques in films from diverse cultural backgrounds and examine the impact of translators' cultural backgrounds on their translation choices.
Enhancing Arabic Reading Skills through the Make-a-Match Cooperative Learning Model: An Experimental Study
Authors: Widya Putri Azhari
Published: October 2024

Arabic plays a crucial role in Indonesia, particularly in religious and educational contexts. Despite its importance, teaching Arabic reading skills faces challenges such as limited use of effective learning models. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Make-a-Match cooperative learning model in improving Arabic reading skills. The study aims to determine whether the Make-a-Match cooperative learning model significantly enhances Arabic reading skills compared to conventional methods. A quantitative experimental design with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was used. The study involved 32 seventh-grade students from SMPI-PK Muhammadiyah Delanggu in the 2023/2024 academic year, divided into an experimental group (15 students) and a control group (17 students). Data were collected using a reading skills test before and after the intervention. The validity and reliability of the instrument were ensured through expert evaluation and Cronbach's alpha. The study found that the experimental group showed a significant improvement in reading skills compared to the control group. The average post-test score in the experimental group was higher than in the control group. The t-test results indicated a statistically significant difference, supporting the hypothesis that the Make-a-Match model is effective in enhancing Arabic reading skills. Additionally, the model improved students' social skills and engagement. The Make-a-Match cooperative learning model effectively improves Arabic reading skills and can be a valuable tool for educators in Indonesia. The study suggests integrating this model into the curriculum and providing training for teachers. Future research should explore its application in other subjects and contexts.

Published: October 2024

This study investigates the effect of continuous cooling treatment on the impact toughness and ductile-brittle transition temperature of a low carbon ferrite-pearlite dual-phase steel.Impact testing was performed according to ASTM E23 at temperatures ranging from -60ºC to 90ºC. The results indicate a significant increase in toughness of approximately 64% and areduction in the ductile-brittle transition temperature from 50ºC in the as-received condition to 0ºC after heat treatment. These changes were analyzed through microstructural examination and fractographic analysis. A bainitic transformation was observed,leading to microstructural refinement and an associated toughness improvement. Additionally, a change in fracture surface morphology was noted in the heat-treated steel, as the bainitic transformation resulted in an increased ductile fracture area across the tested temperature range.

Authors: G Martín , N S Romanini , R Higa
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN: El principal objetivo de la terapia endodóntica consiste en la limpieza, desinfección y conformación del sistema de conductos radiculares, con el fin de permitir una obturación tridimensional que garantice la ausencia de filtración del conducto a la zona perirradicular. WaveOne Gold (WOG) es un sistema de instrumentación mecanizada que consta de una secuencia de instrumentos de niquel titanio (NiTi) con características específicas en cuanto a su calibre y conicidad; que se presenta con conos de gutapercha WOG con calibre y conicidad equivalente a los instrumentos. Por otro lado, existen en el mercado, conos de gutapercha Meta Biomed con conicidad y calibre similar a los instrumentos WOG. OBJETIVO: Evaluar in vitro la adaptación de los conos de gutapercha en un conducto curvo simulado instrumentado con el sistema Wave One Gold.
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se utilizó un bloque acrílico de entrenamiento con conducto curvo simulado, instrumentado con lima Wave One Gold Primary. Se seleccionaron 10 conos de gutapercha Wave One Gold Primary y 10 conos 25/.06 de la firma Meta Biomed, entre aquellos conos de gutapercha que llegaron a la longitud de trabajo y ajustaron. Se tomó una foto al conducto instrumentado vacío, utilizando el microscopio clínico y posteriormente, a cada cono de gutapercha dentro del bloque. A partir de las imágenes digitales, con el software Corel Draw v.17 se delimitó la superficie del conducto instrumentado y la superficie del cono de gutapercha. Se realizó una superposición de ambas imágenes para medir la adaptación del cono de gutapercha a la superficie del conducto, en toda la longitud del conducto, a intervalos de 1 mm utilizando el software Image Pro-Plus v.4.5. Los datos fueron analizados mediante la prueba de la varianza o factor.
RESULTADOS: La adaptación del cono de gutapercha WOG Primary en el conducto simulado reveló menos espacios vacíos que el de Meta Biomed, en los tercios coronario y medio en el lado interno y externo de la curvatura, con una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p=0,002).
CONCLUSIÓN: La adaptación del cono de gutapercha en conductos simulados, instrumentados con WOG Primary, fue mejor cuando se usó el cono WOG Primary que el cono Meta Biomed 25/.06. Sin embargo, con ambos conos se observaron espacios vacíos en los tercios medio y cervical del conducto.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to determine the percentage of pollination of a combination
of cross-pollination and self-pollination in several melon inbred lines and
to determine the yield character of the combination of cross-pollination and
self-pollination in F3 melon inbred lines. The study was conducted in 2021
and 2022 by using nine melon inbred lines as planting material, consisting
of 4 female parents (ACL211390, ACL221402, ACL221326, and ACL231312) and 5
male parents (ACD211303, ACD211254, ACD221362, ACD231380, and ACL21402). In
general, the percentage of successful pollination showed various values, and
the value of 100% was not obtained from all sample plants. This was because
the pollination of 3 hermaphrodite flowers (female parents) on each sample
plant was carried out at different times. The results of the observations of
yield characteristics (fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length, flesh
thickness, and fruit total soluble solids) showed different values between
the pollination combinations in the same female parent inbred. The
differences in pollen sources were responsible for the differences in yield
characteristics between the pollinated combinations with the same female
parent. The Student?s t-test between the inbreds ACL211390, ACL221402,
ACL221326, and ACL231312 (female parent) showed that there was no
significant difference in the mean percentage of pollination success and
that there were significant to very significant differences in several yield
characters. The difference in yield characters was due to differences in the
composition of genetic material between the inbreds ACL211390, ACL221402,
ACL221326, and ACL231312.

Published: October 2024

Abiotic stresses affect microbial populations and soil chemical and physical
properties resulting in significant yield losses of several crops. An
important environmental component that impacts plant growth and development
from seed germination to maturity is salinity. The objective of this study
was to examine the effect of inoculating salt-tolerant rhizobacteria on the
morphological and physiological characteristics of faba bean under different
salt concentrations in pot experiments. Eight rhizobacterial isolates were
tested for their salt tolerance ability on nutrient agar. One best tolerant
isolate with the best tolerance, which showed better growth at higher
salinity, was selected and evaluated for its effect on the faba bean. The
experiment comprised six treatments with three replications in a completely
randomized design, and the data was analyzed using a one-way analysis of
variance. The results showed that seed germination decreased by 4.16% and
8.33% at 150mM and 300mM salinity, respectively. However, the application of
Acinetobacter johnsonii GY08 significantly enhanced seed germination by
4.16% and 6.38% with 150mM and 300mM salinity, respectively, compared to the
uninnoculated treatments with the same salt concentration. Plants inoculated
with Acinetobacter johnsonii GY08 showed higher biomass, shoot, and root
elongation than the uninnoculated plants under both non-saline and saline
conditions. The findings indicated that Acinetobacter johnsonii GY08
facilitated the growth of faba bean seedlings under salinity stress
conditions and enabled them to thrive by accumulating more proline compared
to uninnoculated plants. Therefore, further studies on various varieties and
under field conditions are recommended.
Unleashing the efficiency and potential of Indonesian fishery exports to the European union market
Authors: Khaliqi Muhammad , Novianti Tanti , Purnomo Rulianda
Published: October 2024

The free trade agreement (FTA) between Indonesia and the EU is anticipated to
boost Indonesia?s economic growth, particularly in trade. However, from 2020
to 2022, EU countries issued 38 notifications concerning Indonesian exports,
primarily related to sanitary and phytosanitary measures, which are
non-tariff barriers in free trade. Indonesia has not benefited from the
positive trend in EU fishery commodity imports. This study addresses the
research gap on the efficiency and export potential of Indonesian fishery
products in the EU market. It aims to assess factors influencing trade flow,
export efficiency, and export potential of Indonesian fisheries to the EU
using the stochastic frontier gravity model (SFGM). The SFGM in the gravity
model determines the maximum potential trade level achievable in bilateral
trade. This research utilized panel data on Indonesian fishery exports to
the EU-27 countries from 2003 to 2021 (19 years). This study analyzed the HS
03 products-fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquatic
invertebrates-exported from Indonesia to 25 EU countries. The results
indicated that the GDP of both exporting and importing countries,
competitiveness and the exchange rate of the rupiah against the US dollar
positively impacted fishery exports to the EU. Conversely, distance,
represented by trade costs, negatively impacted Indonesia?s fishery exports
in the EU. The findings showed Indonesia did not have a 100% efficiency
value. The highest market potential for Indonesia in the EU was in exporting
fishery products to France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Spain.

Atomistic Modelling of Nitrogen-rich Biobased Carbon Materials
Authors:   , Herrera Anna
Published: October 2024

Chars from pyrolysis and hydrothermal processing of biomass are potential waste-to-material valorisation candidates for being a heteroatom-rich and porous carbon materials. They are suitable as electrodes in energy storage, and as biobased fertilisers in soil amendments. In energy storage, biomass’ heteroatoms are incorporated into the electrode’s structure, increasing wettability, and promoting electrode-electrolyte interactions. In agriculture, nitrogen functionalities and high porosity allow for essential elements adsorption and water retention, therefore enhancing the plant uptake. This thesis uses atomistic modelling of char graphitic surfaces (both ﬁnite and periodic) with diﬀerent surface features and performs density functional theory calculations to achieve a better understanding of the interactions between biobased chars and relevant adsorbates in energy storage and soil remediation. The eﬀect of diﬀerent nitrogen functional groups in the graphitic structure was investigated, along with the eﬀect of surface curvature and radius, and the eﬀect of spin multiplicity of certain transition metal species. The methodology and codes developed in this thesis should allow the study of any adsorption system provided a surface and an adsorbate. The results indicate that the interactions between species and biobased chars strongly depend on the surface curvature and nitrogen content – but also on the spin multiplicity of the transition metal species, which in most cases evolves into an open shell electronic structure to maximise coordination with the aromatic system. The ﬁndings provide additional fundamental knowledge to help with the development of ﬁt-for-purpose biobased chars for energy storage with a tailored nanostructure, and biobased fertilisers, among other potential applications. Based on this ﬁndings, processing conditions can be selected to promote those chemical and structural features highlighted by the theoretical studies presented here.

Published: October 2024

The elderly have always been considered to be people at risk, due to the various physical and psychological health problems they present. However, during this time of pandemic these health problems have been exacerbated due to isolation, negative thoughts, and deaths of family members, among other factors. This has led to depressive episodes, anxiety, insomnia, stress, and suicidal ideation. The objective of this review is to analyze how COVID-19 has impacted the mental health of the elderly, through various publications between 2020 and 2022. After conducting a search in the following databases: SCIELO, EBSCO, Pubmed, REDIB, Science Direct, Redalyc, Proquest, and Dialnet, 18 articles were found that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, it was found that the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of the elderly, which is why some authors state that it is very important that the countries of the world have strategies or programs to support adults to be able to face this pandemic adequately and thus be prepared for similar situations that may occur in the future.
Enhancing Inclusive Learning and Communication Skills with the Aid of Educational Videos
Authors: Riga Asimina , Malafantis Konstantinos
Published: October 2024

Cultivating communication skills has been one of the main goals set by the educational process. However, students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD) are usually less competent in keeping up with the rest of their classmates as they face difficulties not only in their reading and writing skills but also in their communication competence. Fortunately, educational technologies, which are readily identified as information and communication technologies (ICTs), take advantage of a wide variety of applications and devices, which have substantially affected all aspects of language teaching and learning. More particularly, educational videos are powerful pedagogical tools that expose students to real-life language use and thus help them develop their comprehension, improve their linguistic skills and eventually build their confidence. The main focus of this study concerns the benefits gained when inclusive education is technically assisted by educational videos in an attempt to reinforce communication competence both for children with special needs and their typically developing peers.

Authors: Léste João , Sousa Carla
Published: October 2024

In questo capitolo si delinea un’indagine sui tassi di disoccupazione generali tra le persone con disabilità (PcD), concentrandosi sugli impedimenti sistemici e sui pregiudizi sociali che precludono la loro piena partecipazione al mercato del lavoro. Si introduce poi l’apprendimento basato sul gioco (ABG) come uno dei possibili percorsi di intervento per migliorare queste disparità, in particolare per le persone con disabilità intellettive (PcDI). Gli obiettivi includono un esame critico delle attuali sfide occupazionali affrontate da queste persone, un’esposizione dell’ ABG e del suo potenziale pedagogico, e una presentazione di prove empiriche che sottolineano l’efficacia dei ABG nel coltivare competenze cruciali orientate all’occupazione. Inoltre, vengono esaminati attentamente i ruoli strumentali degli operatori di supporto nella creazione di iniziative di ABG, nell’elaborazione di strategie attuabili per le esigenze delle PcD, nell’esplorazione del terreno etico, e nell’implementazione di adattamenti ragionevoli e tecnologie assistive. Infine, si suggerisce un impegno valutativo preliminare, con giochi selezionati da parte di facilitatori pedagogici, per garantire la corrispondenza tra i requisiti di sviluppo specifici e le aspirazioni del target demografico.

Authors: Dinner Igor V.
Published: October 2024

The article deals with the issues of transformation taking place in the economy and directly affecting the labor values of young people. The emerging values and labor behavior of modern youth in a market economy are compared with the labor behavior of generations who received education and first work experience in a different economic model. Trends in changing labor values of youth orientations affect social and labor relations and lead to a number of relevant contradictions. The prerequisites for these changes are various internal and external factors. From the side of external factors, the influence of various institutions, socio-economic transformations is traced. Also, the labor values of young people are influenced by the quality of workplaces organization and relations with the employer. The article presents analytical data on the dynamics of the Russian labor market with the allocation of the labor force, including youth, divided into different age groups. The author presents the factors of influence on the formation of value orientations of different generations based on the theory of generations. Within this framework, the key characteristics defining the model of labor behavior of the corresponding generation are analyzed and their value orientations are fixed. The article presents data from previously published studies of value orientations of young people, which allow us to assess the degree of significance of each factor. In addition, the article describes the results of a study on the definition of value orientations in the work of young people. Special attention should be paid to the data related to wages and attitudes to it. Young people are more interested not in absolute wage values, but in relative values, and at the same time transparency, clarity of bonus indicators, etc. are important. In addition to wages, young people determine for themselves a high degree of importance associated with interesting work and career development prospects. In general, the obtained data make it possible to conduct a comparative analysis with previously published studies and identify some contradictions regarding the descriptions of value orientations of young people given in some sources. This allows us to clearly see the contradictory dynamics of the value orientations of young people. In addition, it is possible to trace the relationship between the transformations of value orientations of young people taking place in the labor market and in the economy as a whole.

Any technology used in an organization should contribute to the growth of labor productivity. At the same time, the relationship between labor productivity and digitalization can be completely different. Some enterprises implement digitalization in order to increase the volume of their products, others do it in order to improve the quality of products, etc. That is, there are a lot of ways to improve productivity. That is why the typology of the behavior of industrial enterprises is of research interest. The identification of types of enterprises and the behavioral characteristics of these types of enterprises will allow us to suggest the directions for the development of digitalization in industrial enterprises. The objects of the study were top managers and IT specialists of industrial enterprises in the city of Omsk. A total of 92 experts were interviewed. The method of collecting information is a questionnaire survey (author's research). As methods of information processing there were used descriptive statistics, analysis of averages, factor analysis, cluster analysis. Processing of data was carried out in the SPSS 22.0 package. As a result of the study, there were identified three types of industrial enterprises. Then there were described the features of digitalization for each type of enterprises: goals of digitalization, applied digitalization technologies, and digitalization problems.

Published: October 2024

Today, due to new trends in the field of project training and growing demand of enterprises for university graduates, there is a need to analyze existing mechanisms and propose new mechanisms for cooperation between universities and enterprises. The management of project activities in the field of education, science and innovation cannot be effective if the requests and needs of industrial partners are not taken into account. The shortage of engineering personnel encourages enterprises to initiate and implement new projects together with universities in order to be able to interact directly with potential personnel, as well as attract the best students for internships and internships with the possibility of further employment. The article provides a review of effective methods for involving talented youth in project activities to meet the needs of business in highly qualified engineers with practical experience. The article presents modern problems of engineering education, analyzes research and surveys of potential employers for promising specialties in the field of engineering, as well as the necessary skills of a future engineer. The study notes that the pool of competencies possessed by modern university graduates often does not satisfy employers, as a result of which industrial partners are forced to allocate funding for additional practice-oriented training. At the same time, the involvement of representatives of enterprises in the educational process of universities is becoming more and more common practice due to its effectiveness. In addition, the paper provides examples of the implementation of joint programs between universities and enterprises, considers the most effective mechanisms for involving talented youth in the project activities of organizations, tested at ITMO University.

The internal independent assessment of the quality of education (IIAEQ) is considered as an important direction of the general system of education quality assessment. The purpose of the study is to identify the degree of formation of students' personal and professional competencies on the basis of an internal independent assessment using testing based on an independent online resource. The article analyzes the recommendations of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education on the introduction of an independent assessment. The authors consider the approaches to the organization of the educational process based on the questionnaire of students and on the assessment of professional competencies of teaching staff. The article highlights such key aspects of IIAEQ as multi-subjectivity and the dependence of results on the availability, completeness and relevance of evaluation funds. As an experiment to assess the formation of competencies of students receiving economic education, the use of a new testing tool based on a third-party resource (SME platform) reflecting the current requirements of the labor market in this area was proposed and tested. Based on the test results, the authors identified personal competencies that require increased attention - leadership and creativity.

Digital communications are becoming an important component of the customer relationship management system. At the same time, the impact of digital communications on the financial performance of firms has not been sufficiently studied in the scientific literature. The purpose of this paper is to identify differences in the financial performance of firms depending on the intensity of digital communications with customers. Method. Digital communications with customers are measured through the attendance (traffic) of the company's website. We distinguish four groups of companies (Star, Traffic, Growth, Poor) depending on the amount of traffic at the beginning of the period and its growth during the study period. Comparison of the financial indicators of these groups is carried out using analysis of variance. Based on these calculations, we determine the group profiles for each indicator and the total group profiles. Calculations are performed in the context of economic sectors. The study period is 2017-2020. Results. This paper proposes and tests a methodology that evaluates the impact of digital communications not only on individual financial indicators, but also on the financial condition of the company through the calculation of the summary profile for groups of firms. We found significant differences in the values of financial indicators between groups of firms, formed by the intensity of digital communications with customers. There are strong differences in profitability and size of firms. At the same time, the leading and outsider groups in terms of revenue and profitability, as well as in terms of the total profile of financial indicators, differ for different sectors of the economy. Based on the calculations, we proposed strategies for the development of digital communication with customers, allowing managers to improve the financial performance of the company.
