ASSESSMENT OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC LOSSES OF LABOR POTENTIAL IN A REGION
Authors: Kozlova Olga , Makarova Mariya
Published: January 2023

Modern demographic processes in Russia are characterized by high mortality of the population at economically active ages resulting in significant losses of the labor potential of the country and its regions. This requires an adequate assessing these losses and creating measures to reduce them. Thus, the aim of the study has been to develop the methodological tools for assessing the demographic losses of labor potential in a region due to the mortality of the population at economically active ages. The hypothesis of the study is that the volume of the loss of labor potential has regional differences; it is also determined both by reduction of the number of economically active population due to mortality and by a decrease in the duration of working lifetime. The analysis of the evolution of theoretical approaches to the research of labor potential is carried out. Based on a systematic approach to its study, the structure of labor potential and its main elements are highlighted. The authors have also analyzed the methodological approaches available in Russian and foreign literature to assessing the impact of various factors on the risk of premature mortality and its consequences for the labor market and the economy as a whole. Due to the review above, the authors justify the analysis of data on age-specific mortality tables by region, and the construction of employment tables based on the methodology of the stationary population as the main methods of studying the demographic losses of labor potential. For estimating the demographic losses of labor potential, we have addressed the statistical database of Rosstat for the Russian Federation regions included in the Ural Federal District as of 2019. The authors’ methodological approach makes it possible to assess the demographic losses of labor potential in a region due to the premature mortality of the population, and to search for effective socioeconomic policy tools to reduce those, taking into account regional differences.

Authors: Pustynnikova Ekaterina , Dadianov Andrey
Published: January 2023

The current state and a new stage of political, economic and social reforms In Russia defines healthcare as a priority area, which in turn determines the formation of a balanced policy of financial support for medical organizations. Consequently, the creation of conditions for the sustainable development of healthcare organizations should be the focus of attention of legislative, executive authorities and management of medical and preventive institutions. The purpose of this study is to systematize the existing approaches to financial support of healthcare, and to provide the theoretical justification of areas for further improvement based on integration principles for the formation of sources of public health financing. Achieving this goal involves solving the following tasks: to analyze the existing financial flows in the field of healthcare and their sources, to identify the main trends in healthcare financing at the regional level, including to determine the conditions for funding limiting, and to identify the determinants of the formation of integration processes of public health financing. Methods of logical, general scientific analysis and modeling have been used to solve the tasks. Used in combination, these research methods have made it possible to ensure the reliability of economic analysis and the validity of conclusions. The proposed approach to the integration of public health financing sources will help provide the society with vital social services and, in general, implement a health development strategy.

LIFE CYCLE OF AN ELECTRIC DRIVE IN OIL INDUSTRY
Authors: Denisova Taya , Belousov Evgeny
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the issue of the transition of manufacturing enterprises and companies in the oil industry to a new model of interaction with manufacturers of electrical equipment, in particular, of electric drives. The new model involves the conclusion of long-term contracts for the use of the technical process support service. At the same time, the enterprise is not the owner of the operated specific equipment. The equipment manufacturer assumes obligations for its supply, commissioning, full-time maintenance, and most importantly, constant modernization. This modernization is carried out within the framework of the signed contract, is performed regularly to upgrade to the latest models of equipment and technologies, and does not imply an increase of the initial price of the contract. Decommissioned equipment is used by the its manufacturer to create new models. Thus, the company can always stay up to date in technological development and have the most modern technological support, what significantly improves its competitiveness in the market.

Authors: Ignatieva Elena , Serkova Alla
Published: January 2023

The aim of the research, which constitutes the content of this article, is to analyze the impact of infrastructure provision on economic growth in industrial regions, as well as to substantiate the methodological approach to this analysis. Infrastructure and its constituent parts (production-economic, social and financial infrastructures) as an important factor in industrial and innovative development is the main subject of this study, and the industrial regions of the Russian Federation are chosen as the object of our study. The purpose of the study, as well as the specifics of the object of study determined the choice of the approach to this study. The realization of the approach involved the implementation of certain stages of the study. At the first stage, taking into account existing Russian and foreign studies, the criteria and indicators of industrial development were substantiated. Based on these, a sample of industrial-type regions from the entire set of regions (subjects of the Russian Federation) was built. At the second stage, the indicators of the provision of industrial regions with the three above-mentioned types of infrastructure were calculated using the algorithms proposed by the authors. The third stage consisted in the construction of econometric models of the dependence of economic growth on infrastructure factors. On the basis of the proposed approach, comparative estimates of infrastructure security were obtained and ratings of industrial regions were built on this basis. After performing the econometric analysis, the most significant infrastructure factors were selected, and their influence on the economic growth of this group of the Russian regions was assessed. The results of the study, according to the authors, can be useful for developing directions of the infrastructural development of industrial Russian regions as a condition for the smooth functioning of high-tech enterprises and ensuring economic growth under sanctions.
ANALYSIS OF THE PRACTICE OF CREATING A FAVORABLE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT IN A REGION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF KHMAO-YUGRA)
Authors: Kurikov Vladimir , Tashlanova Yulia
Published: January 2023

In modern conditions, investments are recognized as the primary factor of economic growth of the Russian Federation, through which it is possible to ensure the intensification of manufacture of highly competitive products, conditions for high-quality economic growth, social stability and environmental safety. New guidelines for the development of the modern economy come to the fore when forming the concept of economic policy of the Russian Federation. The need for reorientation is explained by the fact that the raw-materials model of the economy is based on the functioning of large raw-materials enterprises. This circumstance is due to the focus of economic growth, which makes it possible to focus resources on priority state problems and develop conditions for improving market institutions. At the same time, the modern resource-oriented economy strongly depends on the structure and conditions of the world market of raw materials for import purchases. The author's approach is to consider the issues of managing the investment attractiveness of the northern region in the context of the most relevant and modern factors. This makes it possible to identify priority industries for investment and implement investment projects that ensure maximum return on invested funds at a risk level acceptable to the investor. According to the author, the investment attractiveness of the region is a multidimensional, multifactorial economic category, which is reflected by a set of irreducible indicating parameters. The system for managing the investment attractiveness of the region should also be a multi-level one, and it should have a differentiation of the tasks of management bodies. Based on the above, we can formulate a research hypothesis: the administrative environment of the subject of the Russian Federation should be continuously improved in order to attract real investments to the region. At the same time, state policy measures in the field of increasing the investment attractiveness of regions should be focused on the introduction of organizational mechanisms that increase the effectiveness of existing programs. The present study is based on the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous District – Yugra and can be used as practical recommendations for the formation of investment policy in the northern oil and gas producing regions of Russia.

PROBLEMS OF TRANSMISSION OF MONETARY POLICY IN THE REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Authors: Kremleva Victoria , Adzhamatova Dzhanneta , Khalimbekova Aiganat
Published: January 2023

The article authors discuss the transmission of the effects of monetary policy on the economy of regions, and consider the factors that hinder the effectiveness of monetary policy in some regions of the Russian Federation. This applies to those entities of the federation where the banking system is not sufficiently developed, and monetary policy instruments do not find a response in the regional money markets. In this article the authors analyze the sensitivity of changes in rates for banking products to the changes in the key rate of the Bank of Russia. The features of inflationary processes and the reaction of rates on banking products in non-standard entities of the Russian Federation are studied. The underdevelopment of the banking system in the southern regions of the Russian Federation, extreme inflation rates (which are outside the confidence interval), the structure and parameters of loan portfolios – all of this shows the reasons for the weak transmission effects of monetary policy in the regional space.
IMPORT SUBSTITUTION PROCESSES IN THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT
Authors: Lyaskovskaya Elena , Antipin Makar
Published: January 2023

Import substitution today is both a goal and a tool for the development of the national economy in the context of sanctions policy and global instability. The relevance of managing import substitution processes to ensure the sustainable development of the Russian Federation is beyond doubt; however, the issues of accounting for regional differentiation in terms of financial, economic, scientific, technical and production potentials, as well as indicators of sustainable development in managing import substitution processes are not well developed. The paper attempts to close this gap: the problems of import substitution are considered in the context of creating management mechanisms aimed at ensuring the sustainability of the regions. The paper proposes the author's concept of import substitution, analyzes its causes and goals; considers the relationship between import substitution strategies and sustainable development; substantiates the need to take into account regional specifics and analyzes the impact of import substitution on the goals of sustainable development. The elements of the mechanism and stages of a differentiated approach to the management of import substitution at the regional level are proposed, the problems of implementing import substitution strategies and the directions for their solution are considered.

Authors: Makarenko Yaroslav , Solovyeva Irina
Published: January 2023

The article presents the results of analysis of the trends of the Russian market of accounting functions outsourcing. The article offers hypotheses about possible nature and reasons for the existing trends in the development of the analyzed market. The dynamics of the global volumes of the outsourcing market, the growth rates of total revenue, revenue per employee, and income structure of outsourcing companies in the areas of accounting functions being outsourced were analyzed. The authors predict the growth of the outsourcing market, which is partly due to the transition to the FAS, the weakening of the impact of the pandemic and the withdrawal of foreign companies from the Russian market. In particular, the growth of the areas of “payroll calculation” and “personnel accounting and personnel records management” will be caused by the employment of refugees who arrived in Russia as a consequence of conducting the special military operation. Significant prerequisites for dramatic changes in the distribution of the income structure in the area of accounting functions outsourcing have not been revealed. The defining trend among outsourcing providers will be the use of automation tools, digitalization, as well as the development of software products for optimizing both their own business processes and the business processes of client companies. Generally, the accounting functions outsourcing market is estimated in a short term as dynamically developing and investment-attractive one.

Authors: Dzenzeliuk Natalya , Novosad Viktor
Published: January 2023

The implementation of programs aimed at developing Russian manufacturing, including for the purpose of import substitution and proactive import substitution, makes the task of an objective and comprehensive assessment of the readiness of innovative technological projects an urgent one. The readiness assessment facilitates the effective and balanced management of the project development and allows to control the project dynamics and the effectiveness of functioning of the development institutions that support it. The availability of user-friendly tools for a comprehensive assessment of the level of technology readiness is an important component when assessing projects implemented within the frameworks of world-class research and educational centers, being created in Russia since 2019. Today, a number of cutting-edge methods of assessing the readiness of projects are used, including the technology readiness level (TRL) developed by NASA, and its European interpretation, the method for assessing technology readiness levels (TRL) developed in the Russian Federation, method for assessing the technology project readiness level for commercialization of scientific and engineering innovation projects (TPRL). The article discusses theoretical and practical aspects of the application of the above-mentioned methods, identifies opportunities and prospects for their improvement, analyzes the practice of using the TRL method to assess the projects included in the program of the World-class Ural Research and Education Centre. The rationality of improving the methods for assessing the readiness of innovative projects, as well as of the methods for assessing the effectiveness of research and educational centers as a whole, has been proved.

Published: January 2023

Developing cellulose nanocrystal (CNCs) preparation techniques is a challenge confronted by many researchers. The advantages of property remain the reason for research to be developed. To deal with this issue, it is essential to conduct research related to process optimization, particularly in the hydrolysis process, which is the primary step in forming CNCs. In this study, the effect of sonication-assisted hydrolysis time was investigated. XRD characterization showed that the CNCs formed where the first group with specific peaks indicated. The crystallinity of CNCs decreased with increasing sonication duration, indicating that sonication-assisted hydrolysis was nonselective. The crystallinity of CNCs obtained for 15, 30, and 45 min was 61.6, 55.0, and 48.4 %, respectively. For sonication duration variations of 15, 30, and 45 min, the hydration diameter of CNCs was nearly identical at 42.35 ± 27.10, 42.99 ± 29.46, and 42.63 ± 29.49 nm, respectively. Similarly, the removal of methylene blue can be achieved using CNCs bio-adsorbent. The results of percent removal of methylene blue under sonication treatment of 15, 30, and 45 min of sonication were 73.34; 73.62; 72.86 %, respectively. The adsorption rate of CNCs follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with the adsorption values under sonication treatment of 15, 30, and 45 min were 0.075 ± 0.008; 0.166 ± 0.013; 0.078 ± 0.005 g mg-1 min-1, respectively.

Mainstream i off zamieniają się miejscami. Główny nurt jako „uciekające” pojęcie literackiej krytyki
Authors: Orska Joanna
Published: January 2023

Artykuł zarysowuje definicję pojęcia „mainstreamu” („głównego nurtu”) w odniesieniu do dawnego pojęcia kanonu oraz opiniotwórczej centrali (czy też centrum) jako określeń w debacie publicznej stopniowo zastępujących bardziej tradycyjne i instytucjonalnie uzasadnione przesłanki krytycznoliterackiego wartościowania. Przemiany znaczenia „kanonu literackiego”, które przyszły wraz z uzależnieniem tegoż wartościowania od pragmatyki nowego rynku kultury, a powiązane były z transformacją ustrojową po 1989 roku, zostały już szeroko w ciągu ostatniego z górą dwudziestolecia omówione i przedyskutowane. Pojęcie „mainstreamu” traktuje się często w krytyce jako ich zastępnik. Zadaniem tego tekstu jest wskazanie różnicy powyższymi terminami a „mainstreamem”, który uznać można za twór w większej mierze uzależniony od usieciowionego modelu komunikacji w społeczeństwie uwarunkowanym przez pewne czynniki kształtowania kultury już na „globalnej” zasadzie.
Romantyzm jako „wędrujące” pojęcie krytyki literackiej. Dyskurs o poezji po 1956 roku
Authors: Nowacka Sonia
Published: January 2023

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie różnych sposobów wykorzystania pojęć o charakterze historycznoliterackim używanych doraźnie przez krytykę literacką w kolejnych dyskusjach na przestrzeni dekad drugiej połowy XX wieku. Autorka poddaje analizie trzy teksty krytyczne o charakterze programowym, które inicjowały polemiki na temat roli poezji i dominujących poetyk po roku 1956. Autorka wskazuje na podobieństwa w strukturach oraz strategiach obieranych przez krytyków poezji odnoszących się do dychotomii romantyzmu i klasycyzmu, jednocześnie ukazując istotne różnice programowe wyrażane za pomocą tych samych pojęć.
Krytyczne odmiany materialności. Polska krytyka literacka od postrukturalizmu do nowych materializmów
Authors: Trzeciak Katarzyna
Published: January 2023

Artykuł jest przeglądem znaczeń, jakie pojęciu „materialności” nadawała (od lat 90.) i nadaje krytyka literacka. Znaczenia te, jak staram się pokazać, uzależnione są od wpływów kilku zasadniczych tendencji filozoficznych: postrukturalizmu, krytycznych teorii społecznych i posthumanizmu, co znacząco wpływa na krytycznoliterackie użycia pojęcia „materialność”. W artykule analizuję konkretne przykłady tych użyć, zaczerpnięte przede wszystkim z krytycznoliterackich wypowiedzi o najnowszej polskiej prozie, by ukazać, jak „materialność” wpływa na typ komentarzy krytycznych, w tym zwłaszcza na możliwości i ograniczenia recenzji.
Żadnej krytyki. Przyjemność lekturowa a krytyka literacka w Polsce
Authors: Poręba Karol
Published: January 2023

Artykuł poświęcony jest funkcjonowaniu kategorii przyjemności lekturowej oraz jej wariantów w rodzimym dyskursie krytycznoliterackim. Autor przypomina w zarysie koncepcje lektury afektywnej w myśli Rolanda Barthes’a, opierając się przede wszystkim na głośnych esejach Od dzieła do tekstu oraz Przyjemność tekstu; rekonstruuje także przekonania wyrażone przez Jana Błońskiego w programowym eseju Romans z tekstem. Stawia tezę, że ujęcia te od lat 60. XX wieku zdążyły stać się domyślnymi punktami odniesienia w postrzeganiu kategorii przyjemności w polskiej krytyce literackiej, mimo że często pojmowane są w sposób intuicyjny.
Joint lifetime modeling with matrix distributions
Authors: Albrecher Hansjörg , Bladt Martin , Müller Alaric J. A.
Published: January 2023

Acyclic phase-type (PH) distributions have been a popular tool in survival analysis, thanks to their natural interpretation in terms of aging toward its inevitable absorption. In this article, we consider an extension to the bivariate setting for the modeling of joint lifetimes. In contrast to previous models in the literature that were based on a separate estimation of the marginal behavior and the dependence structure through a copula, we propose a new time-inhomogeneous version of a multivariate PH (mIPH) class that leads to a model for joint lifetimes without that separation. We study properties of mIPH class members and provide an adapted estimation procedure that allows for right-censoring and covariate information. We show that initial distribution vectors in our construction can be tailored to reflect the dependence of the random variables and use multinomial regression to determine the influence of covariates on starting probabilities. Moreover, we highlight the flexibility and parsimony, in terms of needed phases, introduced by the time inhomogeneity. Numerical illustrations are given for the data set of joint lifetimes of Frees et al., where 10 phases turn out to be sufficient for a reasonable fitting performance. As a by-product, the proposed approach enables a natural causal interpretation of the association in the aging mechanism of joint lifetimes that goes beyond a statistical fit.

Published: January 2023

Objectives

The plant tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) is vastly infected by various diseases. Exact diagnosis on time contributes a significant job to the good production of tomato crops. The key objective of this article is to recognize the infection in tomato leaves with better accuracy and in less time.

Methods

Nowadays deep convolutional neural networks have attained surprising outcomes in several applications, together with the categorization of tomato leaves infected with several diseases. Our work is based on deep CNN with different residual networks. Finally; we have performed tomato leaves disease classification by using pre-trained deep CNN with the residual network using MATLAB available on the cloud.

Results

We have used a dataset of tomato leaves for the experiments which contain six different types of diseases with one healthy tomato leaf class. We have collected 6,594 tomato leaves dataset from Plant Village and we did not collect actual tomato leaves for testing. The outcome obtained by ResNet-50 shows a significant result with 96.35% accuracy for 50% training and 50% testing data and if we focus on time consumption for the outcome then ResNet-18 consumes 12.46 min for 70% training and 30% testing.

Conclusions

After observation of several outcomes, we have concluded that ResNet-50 shows a better accuracy for 50% training and 50% testing of data and ResNet-18 shows better efficiency for 70% training and 30% testing of data for the same dataset on the cloud.

More Than Just a Memory
Authors: Sung Wendy
Published: January 2023

This article examines American Artist’s installation “Sandy Speaks,” a chatbot inspired by Sandra Bland’s media activism, as an analytical connective point to pathways of Black technological critique and histories of Black digitality and care. First connecting the work to its predigital antecedent The Negro Green Book, the article then argues that the typical aspirations of chatbot to approximate the human is disavowed in “Sandy Speaks,” enacting a Black technological critique of the human itself. Moreover, departing from celebratory discourses of Black technological innovation, the chatbot's low AI instantiates what the author calls a politics of technological refusal—a praxis of deliberate technological limitation as critique. This article asks what might happen when we seek potentialities of Black praxis in the slow, broken, old, technological forms, not as remedy, but as theory, critique, and an undoing of the recuperation of technological innovation as most legible mode of recognition.
Sexuality and Discourses of Care in Feminist Documentary
Authors: Warren Shilyh
Published: January 2023

This essay explores forms of feminist screen media that produce political desires about sexual liberation. I focus on key works, especially from the 1970s, that visualize women’s pleasure in conversation with the language of documentary, that is, on projects committed to matters of truth, agency, education, autonomy, and self-care—terms that began to shape sexual politics in the context of 1970s feminism. Political claims about sex and pleasure exist in a range of nonfiction films from the period, including experimental and realist documentaries, although there is as much to learn from what is clearly absent from the history of women’s documentaries about sexuality. I conclude with rare examples of feminist media projects about sexuality and orgasm that explore the connective tissue between the orgasmically radical as well as the social and the material conditions of women’s lives that affect their access to, and even need for, care and pleasure.
Solidarity in the Centerfold
Authors: Adair Cassius
Published: January 2023

This essay argues that certain print pornography featuring “crossdresser,” “transvestite,” and “transsexual” subjects was, counterintuitively, part of a distributed information and care network by and for US transfeminine people between the 1970s and 1990s. While this genre of “transploitation” magazine did reproduce transfeminine bodies as fetish objects, transfeminine individuals themselves also used the adult magazine and bookstore market to distribute clandestine information on hormonal, sartorial, and social self-fashioning and support. This symbiotic relationship with the pornographic allowed information about transfeminity to circulate to individuals with little economic means as well as to reach people who did not have regional or cultural access to the respectable “CD,” “TV,” or “TS” community media of the era. In this way, these magazines formed part of a social safety network: a shadow system of circulating subcultural knowledges within mainstream media in order to survive legal censorship, medical exclusion, and economic abandonment.
The Rise and Spread of the Hong Men Chee Kung Tong in the Cantonese Pacific and Beyond
Authors: González Fredy
Published: January 2023

Using sources in English, Spanish, and Chinese from across the Pacific Rim, this article uses a global scale to examine the Cantonese sworn brotherhood known as the Chee Kung Tong. Whereas in 1860 the organization was largely limited to the West Coast of North America, by the early twentieth century it spread to six continents and throughout the Pacific Rim. The article argues that the Chee Kung Tong, far from being simply a criminal organization or an apolitical mutual aid society, attracted members throughout the Cantonese diaspora, and that a focus on networks like the Chee Kung Tong allows us to examine diasporic history in new and revealing ways.
The Fort Ross Story
Authors: Buse Michael
Published: January 2023

This article examines how late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century U.S. colonists in California constructed an imaginary “Fort Ross Story” alongside a broader attempt to claim the Kashia Pomo homeland of Metini. This settler heritage work at Metini-Ross began in 1892, following the removal of Pomo and Miwok peoples. Fiction and journalism about Russian Fort Ross captured the public imagination with tragic stories of European aristocrats and imperial outposts. Heritage groups such as the Native Sons of the Golden West rebuilt the decaying fort in the mold of these stories. Together, writers and preservationists attempted to conceal the Kashia homeland beneath imagined layers of Russian romance and tragedy. Examining this history reveals the broader role of local heritage work in U.S. settler colonialism and the connections between forced removal and heritage work in California.

Published: January 2023

This study was aimed to investigate the influencing factors of unsafe behaviour of miners towards safety performance. A set of online questionnaires was distributed to the 50 mine workers from an iron ore mining company located in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia which was selected to perform a case study. The results were analysed using SPSS software and Pearson analysis. The results showed six major factors that contributed to the unsafe behaviour of miners; (1) inadequate safety training; inadequate safety education, physical fatigue, lack of safety rules and regulations within the company, poor leadership behaviour (6) and the miners’ experience contribute to unsafe behaviour of miners. The factors were then related to the safety performance of the mining company to find the relationship between both variables by using Pearson analysis. The findings of this study will help how miners can reduce unsafe behaviour and how safety performance can affect the worker’s behaviour by highligting the specific factors contribute to unsafe behaviour.

Construction industry is the most critical industry which deals with high-risk activities every day. In fact, this industry reported the highest death rate for five years in a row, with 63 deaths in 2017, 118 deaths in 2018, 84 deaths in 2019, 58 deaths in 2020 and 23 deaths until March 2021. Although significant improvements have been made in occupational safety, the management and monitoring of the risks of such workplace activities are still challenging. Besides, working at construction site during pandemic increase the risk of accident when employees attempt to comply with both safety measures at the construction site and during the pandemic. Therefore, this paper intends to risk level of the selected accident types, investigate the causes of construction accidents and the correlation between the likelihood of the factors of accidents. Result shows that the most to the least risky types of accidents ranking are falling from height, falling objects, slips, trips, and falls, getting caught-in or -between moving or stationary objects, getting struck by moving objects, electric shock, exposure to chemical and sunstroke. Result also shows that eight subfactors are found to be the most influence root causes of accidents while three subfactors are the least influence. Six out of eight type of accidents are found to have a positive correlation with several factors of the accidents.

3D bone scaffold is the temporary constructs substrates that enable and activate the bonding and reproduction of osteoinductive cells that lead to the creation of new usable tissues. The objectives of this research study are to synthesize and fabricate bromelain/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) porous substrates by using a lyophilization technique and study the properties of the scaffold subsequently. In this study, bromelain (1, 2 and 3 wt.%) and PVA (15 wt.%) solutions were prepared, then mixed overnight to get homogeneous solution. The solutions were frozen for 24 hours before being freeze-dried under vacuum for 7 days at -80 °C. Thereafter, the porous substrates were crosslinked by using glutaraldehyde and characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). According to the XRD findings, PVA/bromelain scaffolds exhibits great degree of crystallinity at 21.11° and 41.05°. The FTIR results shows no significant effect on the absorption peak at varied concentration of bromelain in bromelain/PVA substrates. For the DSC result, the glass transition temperature was found in the range of 65 to 75 °C. For TGA curve, it was obvious that the temperatures of the weight loss regions gradually increased with the bromelain content, indicating that bromelain improves the stability of the bromelain/PVA membranes at high temperatures. Bromelain/PVA showed high porosity (>75%), and water-swelling ratio within 50 to 150 percent after 24, 48, and 72 hours immersion period. This newly developed scaffold composition may serve as a foundation for the growth of bone tissue.

This study analyses the names of the colours used by the author of the reportages. The research method is based on finding answers to the following questions: What colours does the author write about? Which of them prevail? What do they refer to? What stylistic functions do the names of the colours fulfill? What names appear in various colour fields? What parts of speech are the colours represented by? The lexicon of colour words in the reportages under consideration is quite rich. Colours are related to people, animals, plants, landscapes and artefacts, and their function is to describe the appearance of the characters and their beauty, depict their clothing and their mental state, portray the reality of the Borderlands, mainly the landscape. Most often, they are used as epithets. The names in the colour field are not ifferentiated. Colours are most often represented by adjectives, less frequently by nouns, verbs, active and passive participles and adverbs. Occasionally, adjectival compounds are used.

The leading place in the pedagogical science of Russia and the CIS countries has long been occupied by the idea of reviving the humanistic tradition, but the educational process in schools of different types still follows traditional authoritarian technology, as it did many years ago, and digitalization is manifested by low-quality video tutorials, fictitious electronic magazine, etc. According to the authors, digitalization contributes to increased comfort due to gamification, the possibility of repetition and consolidation with the use of games, simulators. But foreign studies are now increasingly focusing on the consequences and risks of digitalization for humans. Due to the influence of the Internet and digital technologies on the education of students, the need to change the models of education and upbringing with the development of the readiness of teachers and students to interact in a digital environment is actualized. Goal. To develop a model of a system of centrifugal pedagogical process based on a personality-centered approach in education, when the source of development is the student himself, with the harmonization of psychological and pedagogical support for the process of formation of creative self-realization of the individual in a digital environment. Methodology and methods of research. For comparative analysis, the author has chosen a model of the system of the traditional educational process (according to P. I. Pidkasistom). The study was conducted on the basis of the personality-centered approach of K. Rogers, the concept of social education in the process of socialization (I. P. Ivanov, A. V. Mudrik, T. A. Romm), a systematic, synergetic approach (L. I. Novikova), methods of analysis, establishment of causal relationships, processing of bibliographic sources, experimental work. In conclusion, it is concluded that: in traditional schools, it is possible to transfer education and upbringing to a centrifugal systematic pedagogical technology of teaching and upbringing within the framework of compliance with the requirements of state educational standards with the implementation of individual activities on their own motivation; many methods that provide a stable educational effect, as a unique method of collective creative activity of I. P. Ivanov, today proved to be particularly relevant for the educational activity of the teacher.
