Authors: Saitri Putu Wenny , Putra Gde Bagus Brahma , Prastyadewi Made Ika , Ernawatiningsih Ni Putu Lisa
Published: April 2024

As a provincial capital that depends on tourism, the development of Denpasar City’s SMEs, especially in the tourism support sector, is growing rapidly. Coupled with technological advances, the development of SMEs must be able to adapt, one of which is by implementing e-commerce. This research aims to 1) explore the e-commerce needs of SMEs in Denpasar City and 2) analyze the factors that influence the use of e-commerce among SMEs in Denpasar City. The research was conducted on SMEs in Denpasar City with 140 respondents. A mixed-method approach was used to answer the research objectives. The research results show that e-commerce is a marketing medium for Denpasar City SMEs, primarily through Shopee and TikTok. Analysis using Atlas.ti indicates that human resources are still the main obstacle to implementing e-commerce in Denpasar City. Related to the factors that influence the decision to implement e-commerce, business duration, income, knowledge, technology, and product type are variables that significantly influence the implementation of e-commerce in Denpasar City. These results can be a reference regarding increasing SMEs’ capacity, especially regarding human resources and capital. Training, mentoring, and access to capital can raise SMEs’ awareness of the importance of technology in promoting and selling goods and services to increase income, which will lead to empowerment and prosperity.
Public Trust as a Management Resource in the System of Internal Affairs Bodies
Authors:   Academy of Management of the Interior Ministry of Russia, Zuyeva Olga
Published: April 2024

The object of the problem studied in the article is public trust in the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is public trust as a resource that police leaders can use in managerial activities to achieve the goals of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. An interdisciplinary approach combining sociological science and management sciences is used as a research methodology. Systemic, structural-functional, and communication approaches and the theory of resource dependence have made it possible to comprehensively consider the key role of a public trust resource in improving the effectiveness of the police. The article notes that the system of internal affairs bodies consists of organizations characterized by the presence of a management structure and coordinated actions of people focused on achieving a common goal. Turning to the theory of resource dependence, the author notes that the achievement of the goals of territorial internal affairs bodies depends on such an external resource as the public trust of citizens. The use of a public trust resource allows the police to minimize the antisocial behavior of citizens, establish relations of cooperation with citizens living in the serviced territory, and build a partnership model of relations with civil society institutions. The paper presents the author's structure of the phenomenon of public trust, which includes institutional and interpersonal trust. The blocks of interpersonal trust consist of trust acquired in the process of primary socialization, trust acquired by experience (personal interaction), and trust based on social reality. The author notes that public trust is the specific resource that ensures the effectiveness of the activities of the internal affairs bodies and, at the same time, needs targeted managerial influence from the law enforcement structure. The main directions of the police to strengthen public trust include: the expansion of propaganda work among children; the involvement of the younger generation in volunteer movements; the development of the cadet movement; and the creation of a new approach to the implementation of information policy in the Internet space.
Capabilities of intravascular imaging techniques in the diagnosis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy: Literature review
Authors: Kolesnikov A. Yu. , Arnt A. A. , Kochergin N. A.
Published: April 2024

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a coronary heart disease (CHD), arising after an orthotopic heart transplant (OHT), and it is one of the leading causes of death in heart recipients. The probability of death is 10%. CAV can manifest as early as 1 year after OHT. Patients do not have pain syndrome that is typical for CHD due to cardiac denervation. The first clinical manifestations may be congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias or even sudden cardiac death. Coronary angiography is the routine technique for CAV detection. However, it is not sensitive enough (about 44%) for CAV detection at an early stage of the disease. Today, intravascular imaging methods (intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography), which allow the evaluation of the morphology of coronary artery lesions, including CAV, have become widespread. This article is devoted to the modern capabilities of intravascular imaging methods in the diagnosis of CAV. CAV is the main cause of myocardial infarction and chronic heart failure in patients after OHT. Intravascular imaging techniques allow early detection of this condition and prevention of unfavorable outcomes in a complex category of heart recipients. Given the advantages of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and disadvantages of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), OCT appears to be a more informative method of CAV detection.

DROPLET SIZE DISTRIBUTION VARIATION OF PENDENT FIRE SPRINKLER SPRAY DEPENDING ON THE MEASUREMENT LOCATION
Authors: Song Jingeun , Kim Taehoon
Published: April 2024

Droplet size of sprinkler sprays is related to the rate of evaporation and penetration of a fire plume. However, sprinkler sprays have various droplet sizes even at one location. Therefore, it is essential to examine the droplet size distribution depending on the location to predict the fire suppression performance of the sprinkler spray. To examine the droplet size distribution of spray from a pendent sprinkler head, acrylic plates were installed around the sprinkler head and a gap was made on one side of the wall. A charge-coupled device camera was installed to capture the droplet images both on a plane parallel to
the sprinkler frame arm and on a plane perpendicular to the frame arm. Droplet information was obtained by deriving the image from the brightness and gradient images extracted from the original image. Large droplets, exceeding 1.5 mm in diameter, were observed in the mainstream of the spray. The
probability of observing small droplets decreased as the droplets moved downstream. Spherical droplets were observed in the mainstream of the frame arm direction, while nonspherical droplets were observed in the perpendicular direction to the frame arm because of high velocity. The number-based cumulative distribution function (CDFs) fitted using the Rosin-Rammler distribution function provided the best fitting results. The volume CDFs fitted using the Rosin-Rammler distribution function yielded acceptable
adjusted R2 values. In this case, the coefficient m related to Dv50 and the coefficient n related to the
width of the distribution increased with increasing radial and vertical locations.
“Critique of Pure Reason” by I. Kant: Sources of Historical Influence and Features of Discourse
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Rozin Vadim
Published: April 2024

The article presents the experience of methodological and cultural-historical reconstruction of one of the main works of I. Kant “Critique of Pure Reason”. The author outlines the problems associated with difﬁculties in understanding this work: what is the general idea of “Critique of Pure Reason”, how to understand reason, different sources of knowledge, things in themselves, and ﬁnally, a combination of rational and sacred arguments. The author shows that Kant relies on the pictures of reality of Aristotle and Nicholas of Cusa, rethinking them, and also analyzes the works of Galileo, which made it possible to make a conviction in the priority of a priori ideas. A hypothesis is formulated about how Kant understood the mind: culturally, following the Enlightenment. The main strategies of thought are outlined, with the help of which Kant creates “Critique of Pure Reason”, while his ideas are compared with the views of Aristotle and Nicholas of Cusa. These include: rethinking transcendental ideas (not similarities and mathematics like those of Nicholas of Cusa), but thinking through the conditions of conceivability, reﬂection of the foundations of knowledge (this is the critique of reason); the introduction of schematisms of thinking, as explaining the connection between a priori ideas and intuitions; a special interpretation of mind and reason, allowing them to include rules, categories and ideas; projection of the rethought ways of thinking of philosophers onto the mind (for example, Kant transfers to the mind the ability to build a system of scientiﬁc knowledge, which he borrowed from E.B. de Condillac); elucidation of the conditions of conceivability, they allowed Kant to ﬁnd the mind as a whole and to ﬁnd out the condition of contemplation and action of the mind (according to Kant, these are “self-consciousness” or the idea of the “synthetic unity of apperception”).
European Utopias of the XVII Century: In Search of Models of Social Order
Authors:   Tver State University, Russian Federation, Kozlova Nataliya , Rassadin Sergei ,   Tver State University, Russian Federation
Published: April 2024

The article analyzes the European utopias of the XVII century on the basis of the actor-network approach. The assemblage point of a utopian society is directly the idea of a social order, which is formed on the basis of scientiﬁc knowledge embodying instrumental reason. The study of man, societies, and natural phenomena allows the authors of utopias to offer a more rationally organized, ordered, from their point of view, social world that provides satisfaction of the needs of both the individual and society. The social order based on scientiﬁc knowledge is conceived by the authors of utopias as a marker of civilization, thanks to which the utopian society as another (‘alien’) social order is endowed with positive characteristics. The authors believe that the construction of the utopian ‘social’ takes place within a closed network in space and time, which prevents the threat of the collapse of order, isolating cultural inﬂuence from the outside, as well as guaranteeing the immutability/stability of a given algorithm of social relations in a chronological perspective. The authors identify the functioning in utopias of the regime of everyday life reproduction, excluding mobilization, orienting the inhabitants of utopia on the values of everyday work, moderation and harmony. The article shows that the construction of a society based on scientiﬁc knowledge determines the features of social stratiﬁcation in the form of a meritocracy of knowledge legitimized by natural religion. The authors believe that the ‘assembly of the social’ based on egalitarian principles extends mainly to economic processes, while the public sphere is designated in the form of an aristocracy of intellectual labor. The expert community carries out total regulation of the activities of archaic/primitive by nature social institutions. The authors think of the collected models of utopian society as universal, potentially suitable for all communities experiencing problems with building a social order.
Dishonest Signs of the New Sincerity: Another Round of Alienation of the Performance Society
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Russian Federation, Romanov Ivan , Toropova Anastasiia ,   Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Moscow, Russian Federation
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this article is to examine the phenomenon of the ‘New Sincerity’ as a kind of new ethics and its problematisation in relation to the consumer society. Is the so-called ‘New Sincerity’ really a qualitative change in the human sensibility of 21st century society in a globalised world, or, on the contrary, is it becoming another trademark where signs of naturalness are successfully commercialised? A genealogical analysis of the concept of New Sincerity was carried out in order to realise the objective. Semiological analysis and hermeneutics of corporeal signs were then used to demonstrate the artiﬁciality of the notion of ‘naturalness’ itself. A critique of representational theory, on which the New Sincerity relies as an accurate external reﬂection of internal processes, was also undertaken. The study revealed that the representatives of the New Sincerity are embedded in the capitalist logic of communication. Using various examples, particularly from the blogosphere, the signs of naturalness and sincerity that are successfully commercialised in contemporary show business and the blogospherewere identiﬁed. In particular, the difference between the showbiz epatage of the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ ethics of Lady Gaga and Ashley Halsey was revealed. In the ﬁrst case, the outrage is a well-considered part of the stage persona, in the second case, it is a consequence caused by the affective behaviour of the star as a manifestation of the New Sincerity. Using the example of a video from the everyday life of the Korean K-Pop group BTS, it was found that successful editing creates a feeling of the idols’ life ‘as if in the palm’ for the fans, at the same time it removes such important aspects of everyday life as, for example, the sexual life. The theoretical signiﬁcance of this study lies in the attempt to reﬂect on the new cultural trends that are unfolding in contemporary society. The practical signiﬁcance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the ﬁndings to self-reﬂection and the formation of a clear view of the world in which we live.
Stereotypes of Interconfessional Interactions of Siberians

The successful term “stereotype” was substantiated by the journalist W. Lippman and became ﬁrmly established in scientiﬁc use. Researchers have studied the processes of stereotypes functioning. This is an important part ofthe collective consciousness, protecting a person from unfamiliar information. Stereotypes help save time and life resources for processing new information. But the negative side of stereotypes lies in the creation of mental templates for the perception of reality. It is easier for a group to simplify information than to waste time understanding the essence of another’s otherness. Information that contradicts stereotypical patterns is ignored, simpliﬁed, and distorted in terms of content. “We-group” begins to aggressively defend the meanings of its stereotypes from an alternative opinion. The opponent can be subjected to harassment and physical destruction. The structure of stereotypes and scenarios of stereotyping are considered by us from the standpoint of structuralism. “We-group” is socially differentiated. For extras and dominant members of the group, the rules of the social game are written. The meaning of the stereotype can turn into a tool for managing citizens, into a weapon against members of the “they-group”. The spontaneous part of the process of stereotyping lies in the routine existence of stereotypes, with the help of which people explain the complex phenomena of life. It is a routine practice of inventing and reinforcing language clichés. The manageable part of stereotyping is the use of these clichés for political gain. “We-group” is always in a state of stereotypical attitude. The group can choose a stereotyping scenario – a scenario of tolerant neighborhood or a scenario of negative solidarity. The ﬁrst determines the path of development of a tolerant attitude towards non-Christians, the search for new knowledge about the culture of “outsiders”, the development of practices of new socio-cultural experience. The second is the way of intensifying intercultural and interfaith tension, leading to armed conﬂicts. The reason for interfaith conﬂicts is the use of creeds for personal gain. At the everyday level, conﬂicts arise due to cultural incompetence, the simpliﬁcation of knowledge about the culture of “strangers”. In Siberia, despite the existence of stereotypes, interfaith relations are peaceful. This is emphasized by the heroes of in-depth interviews representing different confessions. Their perception of non-Christian neighbors is based on an understanding of personal merit, and not on a stereotyped understanding. Spiritual leaders conﬁrm the idea of intercultural rapprochement of Siberians as members of a multi-confessional community. Tolerance is a social practice of neighborhood that develops the spiritual sphere of community life.
Regional Income and Consumer Expenditure Specifics of the Canadian Population

Published: April 2024

In the confrontation between the global West and the global South, Russia found itself directly on the fault line. The confrontation leads to changes in the world economy, which, of course, have an impact on the standard of living of the population. It becomes relevant to study this inﬂuence, both in Russia and in countries that impose economic sanctions against it. This study provides a brief analysis of household income and consumption expenditure in Canada for 20002022 across the provinces of the country. Based on the data obtained, a high degree of social support for Canadian citizens from the state was revealed, especially in areas densely populated by indigenous peoples. The conditional division of the country according to the standard of living of the population into four geographical sectors is determined: northern, western, central and eastern. It has been established that throughout the entire period under review, the indicators of the standard of living of citizens in the northern provinces are the highest, and in the eastern provinces the lowest in Canada. At the same time, about two-thirds of the total population of Canada live in the eastern provinces, and the Northern provinces are very sparsely populated (less than 1% of the total population). It has been recorded that relatively high incomes and savings of the population are not a determining factor in the country for choosing a place of residence. Much depends on other indicators of the quality of life of people, as well as on the local mentality, traditions and culture.
Modeling the Functioning of the Production and Economic Chain
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Lyubyashhenko Sofia
Published: April 2024

Restoration and design of efﬁciently functioning production and technological chains of complex structure, consisting of a set of ﬁrms with vertical and horizontal interconnections, is an important task of the modern economy in Russia. The implementation of the ‘new industrialization’ program is possible on the basis of large integrated structures capable of implementing innovations and modernization of production. The dynamics of business processes caused by crisis trends leads to the need to ﬁnd the most effective forms of interaction between participants within hierarchical structures, allowing them to increase their competitiveness in the markets. In this regard, the methodology of analyzing such production systems for making optimal management decisions needs further improvement. Classical micro and macroeconomic models are not fully capable of describing real business processes in industry markets in conditions of increasing concentration. A comprehensive approach to the study of modern large ﬁrms and supply chains is needed. The synthesis of the theory of industrial organization and neoclassical economic theory is used as a methodological basis in the work. A system with horizontal and vertical interaction of ﬁrms operating in the market is economically interested in achieving higher performance results and, above all, through more efﬁcient use of resources. The relevance of this problem requires modeling the parameters of companies’ activities under various behavioral strategies. In the article, an approach based on matrix modeling is proposed to describe the functioning of such systems, in which the main tool is a technological matrix developed taking into account the requirements for an input-output matrix. It is shown that the use of the methodology makes it possible to adequately describe the interaction of ﬁrms, display material ﬂows, determine important indicators of the system and ﬁrms (ﬁnal and gross products, volumes of resources, costs) and analyze at a qualitative level. An economic and mathematical model is proposed, which is used both to calculate the economic characteristics of the system and ﬁrms, and to design the structure of the technological chain.
Semiotic Diagnostics of Philosophy Teaching Goals in Pedagogical Education

Published: April 2024

Modernization of domestic education and global diversiﬁcation of pedagogical education make it relevant to analyze the role and place of the subject ‘Philosophy’ in order to diagnose new goals for teaching this discipline. Based on the methodological innovation of the semiotic approach proposed by I.V. Melik-Gaykazyan, the correspondence between the semantics of universal competencies and the pragmatics of the formation of individual trajectories for the training of future teachers is established. This correspondence captures the navigational role of philosophy, ﬁrstly, in the development of basic academic disciplines, and, secondly, in understanding the continuity of their curricula. The implementation of this role will not happen naturally, since the domestic tradition of university philosophy has its own characteristics, which are retrospectively indicated in the article. The retrospection emphasizes the context in which S.I. Gessen formulated his well-known thesis that pedagogy is an applied philosophy. This thesis is of essential importance for determining the role and place of teaching philosophy for the future teacher training, and also remains relevant in the situation of modern diversiﬁcation of the goals of pedagogical education. The purpose of teaching philosophy is the propaedeutics of the development of special courses devoted to modern theories and the actual practice of education. At the same time, the actual practice of education takes place in social conditions that transform behavioral and ethical norms, therefore, the goals of teaching philosophy in the context of pedagogical education include explaining intellectual traditions and the limits of their effectiveness in order to ﬁnd ways to solve situational problems generated by modern communication tools and systems. These situational problems are formed under the inﬂuence of multiple factors, and therefore, to solve them, it is necessary to understand the essence of transdisciplinarity. The simultaneous multiplicity of communications and the variability of their formats in speciﬁ c psychological and pedagogical conditions make the modern understanding of theessence of the mediatization phenomenon relevant. Modern requirements for education to ensure the training of unique specialists ﬁxes the need for the formation of tolerance, which is a condition for the implementation of inclusive education. The listed principles of modern philosophical anthropology andpost-non-classical methodology – tolerance, mediatization, transdisciplinarity, multidimensionality – coincide with those competencies which formation can be led by the teaching of philosophy.
The Idea of Transfiguration in Russian Literature of the 20th Century
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Kosheleva Irina
Published: April 2024

The article presents the idea of Transﬁguration expressed and ﬁxed in the semantic potential of language, sign and symbol as the initial, fundamental idea of Russian literature. The tasks solved in this article were formed under the inﬂuence of research in the ﬁeld of the semantic potential of language, which is revealed to its speakers in speciﬁc historical and cultural realities. In particular, the connection between the peculiarities of national consciousness and the lexical meanings of such words that have no direct analogues in other languages (“svet”, “mir”, “pravda”, “volya”), i.e. create very speciﬁc meanings that speakers of other languages cannot recognize as such. These meanings form the spiritual foundation of the national character. The analysis of the contextual meanings ofthese words forms the basis of the presented work and leads to the conclusion that they form a semantic unity, including at the level of the idea of the Transﬁguration of man and the world, which is central to Russian culture and literature. The analysis of the idea of spiritual transformation of man in Russian literature of the XX century is carried out on the basis of representation of semantic-semantic models of the artistic worlds of works by I. Shmelev, V. Shukshin, A. and B. Strugatsky works, including the concepts of the idea of Transﬁguration. The writers lead their characters through different paths to inner transformation, and the transforming components are always personiﬁed. In I. Shmelev’s work, the vector of transformation is formed by the concepts “soul – faith – miracle – heart / heart’s look – peace – truth – freedom – light / light / to shine”. In the work of V. Shukshin – “soul – conscience – peace – peacefulness – humility – truth / justice – clarity – light / bright / shine – will / freedom”. In the work of A. and B. Strugatsky – “light / shines / dawn – miracle / miracles – will / will barrier – world / world – hope – truth / half-truth – gift – happiness / happy –soul”. The degree of the hero’s approach to the world, light, truth is different, it is set, among other things, through the quantitative saturation of conceptually signiﬁcant words in the work and through their correlation with the concepts-antagonists. Thus, an individual vector of movement of the human soul, aspiring to the acquisition of new higher meanings, is formed. At the same time, the unifying component for them is the intense inner work, which is continuously conducted by writers and their characters.

Published: April 2024

The proposed article provides an analysis of the legal regime for characters as impacted by the current content creation and dissemination trends with a focus on characters placed in transmedia environment and on the impact of transmedia storytelling on creative work. The author argues current global changes in creative work and different media make it relevant to return to discussions of the main premises of copyright regime for characters. In particular, the author explores a possibility to recognize independent exclusive rights to characters appear in different works of art as well as to those not described in any one of them, and looks into legal importance of characters not described in traditional works of art and literature. The paper raises the issue of exclusive right to characters in complex objects such as audiovisuals or computer games, as well as of the authorship and exclusive ownership of team-created and transmedia characters. The cases of joint authorship of (script) writers and artists as well as implications of creating images of characters existing in literary form as commissioned or allowed by the copyright holder are discussed. The legally important components of characters are explored as well as copyright transferability in the context of media production needs. The paper argues for a need to avoid mixing characters with other copyright objects, first of all works of visual arts including cartoon character sketches.

This is an optimized purification protocol which has been optimized in the context of: Van Den Noort, M., Drougkas, P., Paulino, C., and Poolman, B. The substrate-binding domains of the osmoregulatory ABC importer OpuA physically interact. eLife 12:RP90996 https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.90996.1 Lactococcus lactis OpuA is a type I ABC importer. It employs two substrate-binding domains (SBDs) to capture extracellular glycine betaine and deliver it to the transmembrane domains for transport. OpuA detects osmotic stress through alterations in internal ionic strength and is further modulated by the second messenger cyclic-di-AMP. It exists as a tetrameric protein complex composed of two distinct subunits: two cytosolic OpuAA proteins featuring a nucleotide-binding domain and a cyclic-di-AMP-sensing CBS domain, and two OpuABC proteins comprising a transmembrane domain, a scaffold domain, and an extracellular single substrate-binding domain. The oligomeric assembly exhibits modest stability, with a notable portion of OpuA complex dissociating during purification. Consequently, modifications were made to the purification protocol across various parameters to minimize OpuA complex dissociation.

Modern leadership of economies is ensured by the trend of innovative development. Innovation-oriented economic growth is the number one issue for developed countries. The new stage of Russia's technological development, achievement of technological sovereignty requires new actions. An important condition for the implementation of in-novation activity is the innovation environment. Effective development of innovation environment favors innovative development. This article analyzes the external conditions and internal environment defined as the innovation environment. The article analyzes the current state of Russia's innovation environment on the basis of international inno-vation indices and ratings affecting various aspects of countries, participants, statistical surveys of innovation process-es in the Russian economy. The peculiarities of Russia's innovative development in the scientific and production, insti-tutional environment, the totality of resources, the characteristics of internal capabilities have been revealed. It is estab-lished that the positions of intellectual, material and infrastructural factors, the degree of impact of the results of inno-vation activity on the economy and society are low. Indicators demonstrate insufficient efficiency of resource utiliza-tion, the results of scientific and technological innovation activity. The efficiency of innovation activity of economies depends on the state scientific, technological and innovation policy that provides incentive priority development of various industries, institutional conditions that ensure technological leadership, research and development work for enterprises that create innovative products. Thus, it is necessary to increase the level of innovation activity of economic entities, to increase the amount of funding for research and development, the implementation of measures contributing to the innovative development of the Russian Federation.

B a c k g r ou nd . National education is going through a stage of critical and at the same time constructive rethinking of reality, which is connected with a deep transformation of all spheres of social life. The cognitive-informational approach to the selection of the content of education is inferior to the socio-cultural one, and the monologic style of the teacher's pedagogical interaction is to the developmental one. In general, education is increasingly organized not according to the principles of acquiring certain knowledge, abilities and skills from the foundations of science (knowledge paradigm), but according to the laws of social-psychological interaction (personally oriented paradigm), the substantive basis of which is a developmental approach. Therefore, the theory and practice of developmental education acquires special importance. Purpose and tasks. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the technology of developmental training in the training of future specialists in institutions of higher education. Task: to reveal the essence of developmental learning technology, categories "developmental learning", "developmental learning technology"; to determine the organizational and pedagogical conditions of developmental education in institutions of higher education. Re su lt s . Pedagogical technology of developmental training of future specialists in higher education is disclosed; the organizational and pedagogical conditions for the implementation of developmental training in the process of educational activity are substantiated; the content of the categories "development", "technology of developmental education", "developmental education" has been specified. C onc lu si on s . Developmental learning technology is defined as a systematic method of planning, implementation and evaluation of the entire learning process in higher education institutions. It was found that under the condition of development and implementation of new pedagogical technologies in the process of professional training in higher education institutions, the student becomes a participant in the process of constructing new knowledge with the help of their assimilation, awareness and application. The essence of the category "developmental training", "development", "technology of developmental training" is revealed. Developmental learning technology is defined as a systematic method of planning, implementation and evaluation of the entire learning process in higher education institutions. The organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of students' educational activities are substantiated as such, which can determine the course and effectiveness of specially organized work on the development of students' educational activities and determine the technology of developmental education of students of higher education institutions.

B a c k g r ou nd . The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the structure and content of predictive competence in teacher professional standards in Ukraine and Estonia. It identifies key differences in professional standards that can positively influ- ence the effectiveness of teacher activities. Purpose and objectives. The analysis revealed that the Ukrainian and Estonian standards have different approaches to the definition and conceptualization of predictive competence. The Ukrainian standards define predictive competence as the ability to predict the de- velopment of educational processes and to make informed decisions about teaching methods and strategies. The Estonian standards, on the other hand, define predictive competence as the ability to anticipate the needs of learners and to design educational experiences that meet those needs. The analysis also revealed that the Ukrainian and Estonian standards have different emphases in terms of the content of predictive competence. The Ukrainian standards emphasize the ability to predict educational trends and to adapt teaching methods accordingly. The Estonian standards, on the other hand, emphasize the ability to integrate technology into teaching and to design curriculum that is relevant to the 21st century skills students need. Re su lt s . The identification of key differences in the Ukrainian and Estonian standards provides valuable insights into how to en- hance the effectiveness of teacher activities. By recognizing the strengths of both approaches, Ukrainian educators can develop their predictive competence in ways that positively impact their teaching practices and student outcomes. C onc lu si on s . The article also describes ways to improve predictive competence, including focus on technological advance- ments and emphasize adaptability and forward-thinking. Estonian standards emphasize the importance of forecasting in the context of technology integration and curriculum design. This focus is important in Ukraine, as the country seeks to become a leader in digital education. Also, Ukrainian standards emphasize the ability to adapt to evolving educational trends. This focus is also important in Esto- nia, as the country's educational landscape is constantly changing. Ukrainian educators can benefit from learning how to be adaptable and forward-thinking in their teaching practices.

В статье представлены первые результаты детального исследования одного из ключевых местонахождений с изображениями древнейшего пласта в наскальном искусстве Монгольского Алтая — Бага-Ойгур-5 (правый берег). Приводятся основные данные о расположении памятника, особенностях его природного контекста и др. Характеризуются основные группы изображений, предлагается их атрибуция. Наиболее детально рассматриваются самые многочисленные на памятнике петроглифы, выполненные в «калгутинском» стиле, который ранее был отнесен авторами к финалу верхнего палеолита. Сделано заключение о том, что на местонахождении наряду с древнейшими имеются изображения эпохи бронзы и Средневековья. Уделяется внимание наиболее информационно содержательным изобразительным поверхностям, на которых представлены как одиночные фигуры «калгутинских» лошадей, быков, баранов и оленей, так и композиции с их участием. В наскальном искусстве древнейшего пласта на рассматриваемой территории впервые зафиксирован нефигуративный знак в виде решетки, композиционно связанный с фигурой лошади, что типично для первобытного искусства. Результаты анализа многослойной композиции — одной из самых значимых — подтверждают предположение о создании «калгутинских» петроглифов до эпохи бронзы. Подробно рассматривается особый природный контекст памятника Бага-Ойгур-5 (правый берег) — ограниченное по площади пространство, на котором представлены скальные выходы преимущественно с плоскими поверхностями, выделяющимися на фоне общего ландшафта с выпуклыми валунами. Подчеркивается особый характер расположения наскальных изображений в пределах местонахождения: фигуры животных на отдельных изобразительных поверхностях выстроены почти композиционно. На основании этих характеристик сделан предварительный вывод о том, что рассматриваемый объект был сакральным местом — святилищем.
