Bu çalışma ile bağımlı bireylerle çalışan profesyonellerin gözlemlerinden yola çıkarak gençlerde madde kullanımının oluşumu ve tedavi süreçlerinde aile etkisinin etiyolojini ortaya çıkarabilmek ve bağımlılık öyküsü içerisinde aile deneyimlerini daha yakından inceleyebilmek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, nitel araştırma yöntemine ve fenomenolojik desene uygun olarak yürütülmüştür. Birbirinden farklı kurumlarda görev yapan, farklı mesleklere sahip ve madde bağımlısı bireylerle çalışan 15 kişiyle derinlemesine mülakat gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler sonucunda; bağımlılığa evrilen aşamadan bağımlılık sonrası aşamalara kadarki her bir süreç içerisinde aile faktörünün farklı etki ve deneyimlere sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bağımlılık öncesi süreçte krizler, problemler, iletişimsizlikler, travmatik yaşam deneyimleri sıklıkla karşılaşılan aile özellikleri olurken; bağımlılık sürecinde madde kullanımından geç haberdar olma, şok-panik-öfke-gizleme gibi davranışsal tepkiler verme ve eş bağımlılık geliştirme gibi aile deneyimleri öne çıkmaktadır. Bağımlılığın tedavisi aşamasında ise sürecin başarılı olabilmesi için aile katılımı ve desteği en önemli unsurlardan biridir. Tedavi aşamasında hızlı ve kolay çözüm yolları talep eden veya var olan tedavinin aksaması durumunda hızlı şekilde motivasyon kaybı yaşayabilen aile deneyimleri tespit edilmiştir. Yine annelerin babalardan daha uzun süre ve daha aktif şekilde tedavi sürecine katıldıkları aileler çoğunluktadır. Sonuç olarak aile faktörü bağımlılığın her aşamasında kendi özel şartları içerisinde değerlendirilmeli ve tedavi sürecine dahil edilmelidir. Tedavi süreçleri sadece bağımlı bireylerle sınırlandırılmamalı, sosyal çevrenin ve özellikle ailelerin de tedaviye uyumu desteklenmelidir.

Published: September 2022

Küresel Değer Zincirlerinin (KDZ) ticarete olan etkisi Dünya Ticaret Örgütü gibi uluslararası organizasyonlar ve konunun uzmanı birçok ekonomist tarafından bir “paradigma kayması” olarak nitelenmektedir. Yaşanan köklü değişim dış ticaret politikası hedeflerinin yeniden belirlenmesi ihtiyacını doğurmanın yanı sıra, geleneksel analiz yöntemlerinin de hem ampirik hem de teorik anlamda sorgulanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, politika hedeflerinin belirlenmesinde KDZ’lerin yapısal özelliklerinin ve farklı ülke rollerinin önemini vurgulayarak, KDZ göstergelerinin doğru yorumlanmasına katkı sağlayacak bütüncül ve genel bir çerçeve sunmaktır.

Çalışmada KDZ altında gelişen ithalat bağımlılığının, dışa bağımlılığın temel göstergesi olmaktan çıktığı ve ithalatın ihracat içerisindeki payının azaltılmasına yönelik politikaların ülkelerin bağımsızlık hedefleriyle ters düşebileceği görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda ülkelerin iktisadi bağımsızlıkları zincirdeki pazarlık güçleri ve katma değer paylarını önceleyen bir yaklaşım çerçevesinde yeniden tanımlanmıştır. Son olarak, KDZ literatürü bağlamında kullanımı öne çıkan ve KDZ’lerin yapısal özelliklerini ve ülkelerin katılımlarını ölçmekte kullanılan birçok yeni göstergenin hesaplanma yöntemi ve katma değer ile ilişkisi de sunulmuştur. Ancak literatürdeki Türkiye odaklı diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak, bu araştırma makalesinde ampirik bir analiz yürütülmemiştir.

The modern views on armed struggle, their impact on the tactics of using troops (forces) in the war with the russian federation, new asymmetric threats to Ukraine's national security, as well as reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine require a review of information requirements. perform geoinformation support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The importance and necessity of the implementing and using of geographic information systems for military purposes is due to the general increase in the requirements of troops (forces) to the efficiency, completeness and quality of information support of the management process. The armed aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine creates new challenges to the information security of the state and leads to the revision of the requirements for information support in general and for geoinformation support in particular. It's determined that the foundation of the Unified Geoinformation Environment of the Armed Forces should be service-oriented architecture (SOA) of distributed geodatabases, that provides a common platform for all entities and users to access the resources of Unified Automated Control System of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Unified Geoinformation Environment (UGIE) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be formed as an combination (network) of interconnected geoportals, the purpose of that is to consolidate information on available in the Unified Automated Control System of the Armed Forces spatial data. user entry points into this environment. The UGIE of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should provide access to data stored in the system of distributed geodatabases. The format and use of services should be based on the use of national, international and military standards, that are the only agreed and approved set of standards for data, interfaces and computer programs developed on the basis of service-oriented architecture.
Criminological characteristics and prevention of suicide among military personnel
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Zvonenko О. , Bury S. ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Published: September 2022

It has been found that suicide in Ukraine is the seventh leading cause of death, which confirms the criticality of the problem and the need to solve it as soon as possible. Today, there is a need to support such categories of people as children and youth, servicemen, convicts and the elderly. The need to unite the efforts of all services that ensure the viability of military units was identified. The study of suicide in the armed forces has shown that suicide prevention is comprehensive and can only be addressed through the joint efforts of physicians, psychologists, social workers, commanders of all levels and officers of educational institutions. It has been found that suicide is usually carried out of desperation, in protest to preserve self-esteem, as a result of obscuration of the mind to avoid pain or revenge. Poverty, unemployment, loss of loved ones and problems in family relationships are also areas at risk of voluntary death and, most importantly, experts do not have the full amount of accurate statistics on the number of "successful" attempts to leave this world. The increased social danger and high latency of suicide of servicemen have been determined. It is emphasized that the criminal law subgroup consists of determinants, which, unlike most general social determinants, arise from the direct influence of some individuals on others and the main complication is that such influence is intentional, covered by cruel, immoral nature of in connection with which entails socially dangerous consequences. The main reasons and conditions that contribute to suicide are named. It is proved that suicide prevention in the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be based on knowledge of probable causes and their elimination. The basis of prevention is high morality. It is necessary to achieve the utmost respect for others, taking into account personal dignity. Conduct educational work, including religious education.

Authors: Chaudhary Ram Dev , Sah Kirti Kumari , Chaudhary Ram Prabodh
Published: September 2022

Background: The clinical significance of serum sodium levels and its association with a higher rate of complications in cirrhosis is debatable. This study was done to study the serum sodium levels in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients and establish its association with the severity of disease in such patients.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included adult patients diagnosed with CLD and assessed their serum electrolytes. The severity of liver disease was assessed using Child Pugh score (CPS) and model for end stage liver disease (MELD). Those with serum sodium levels less than 130 mEq/l were classified as group A, 131 to 135 mEq/l as normal group B and greater or equal to 136 mEq/l as Group C.Results: In the present study, hepatic encephalopathy (p<0.01), hepatorenal syndrome (p<0.01) and coagulopathy (p<0.01) were found to occur significantly more common among patients from Group A, as compared to those in patients from group B or C. Mean MELD, CPS score and mortality was significantly higher among group A patients.Conclusions: Patients with lower serum salt levels had a substantially higher MELD score and CPS. Low blood sodium levels were linked to more severe liver disease, greater complications, and increased death. As a result, we urge that serum salt levels be checked on a frequent basis in patients with chronic liver disease.

Published: September 2022

Background: Osteoarthritis affects the knee joint more frequently than any other joint. Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease that affects the older age group, women more frequently, and is associated in 90% of cases with a varus deformity of the knee. The following study was conducted to evaluate the functional outcome of total knee arthroplasty in osteoarthritis using the knee society score.Methods: The study was conducted in patients treated for osteoarthritis of the knee joint at Jubilee Mission Medical College and Research Institute, Thrissur, Kerala during the period from December 2019 to March 2022. Thirty patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee joint were taken into the study, all were undergone total knee arthroplasty. Patients were followed up at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.Results: The sample consisted of thirty osteoarthritic patients with 8 males and 22 were females. The patients' ages ranged from 45-75 years. Among these 30 patients, 14 involved the right side, and 16 involved the left knee joint. The mean pre-operative knee clinical score was 36.93 which was improved to post-operative 84.70 following total knee arthroplasty. The mean pre-operative knee functional score was 16.83 which was improved to post-operative 71.17 following total knee arthroplasty. The outcome was rated as per knee society score. We got excellent results in 25 cases (83%), good in 3 (10%), and fair in 2 patients (7%) according to knee clinical score whereas 8 excellent (27%), 16 good (53%), 5 fair (17%) and 1 poor (3%) results were found according to knee functional score.Conclusions: Total knee arthroplasty shows drastic improvement in the functional ability of the patient and the ability of the patient to get back to a pre-disease state, which is mainly because of pain-free joint movements, reflected by the improvement in the post-operative knee clinical score and knee functional score.

Published: September 2022

Background: POP scale and serum cholinesterase estimation are purported to be meaningful indicators for mortality prediction in the cases of organophosphorus poisoning. The present study was undertaken to substantiate the correlation of POP scale score and serum cholinesterase levels in acute OP poisoning with mechanical ventilation requirement and mortality in our setting.Methods: Data of 150 eligible participants was collected, with POP scale and serum cholinesterase levels being assessed during initial presentation in each of them. Clinical course of the cases was monitored and documented.Results: The observed case fatality rate was 32.7%. POP scale scoring revealed 30 out of 75 patients to be from moderate group and 19 out of 22 patients to be from severe group. Forty nine out of 75 in moderate group & all patients in severe group required ventilator support. With respect to Serum Cholinesterase level; 20 out of 23 and 29 out of 77 patients died in the severe & moderate poisoning categories respectively. Forty eight out of 77 in moderate poisoning and all patients in severe poisoning required ventilator support.Conclusions: POP scale scoring and serum Cholinesterase level assessments are clinically relevant indicators in acute OP poisoning cases and are of great utility towards assessment of mechanical ventilation requirement and mortality prediction.
A comparative study of sagittal abdominal diameter and other anthropometric indices of obesity in adults with family history of cardiovascular risk factors
Authors: R. Nishmita , K. Ravi
Published: September 2022

Background: Obesity is evolving into a modern day epidemic in India. Visceral Adipose Tissue is the main culprit, being the metabolically active component that is responsible for the cardiovascular risk factors. The day-to-day anthropometric indices fail to take body composition and distribution into account and hence miss a chance at early detection. Family history plays an important role by serving as a genetic link in the transmission of risk factors. There is a need for vigorous screening techniques which are clinically plausible for an early diagnosis of visceral adiposity in individuals predisposed to the numerous risks caused by its accumulation. Sagittal abdominal diameter is a useful tool in measuring the visceral adipose tissue clinically and in the current study; a comparison was done between SAD and already existing anthropometric indices.Methods: The study was done on 223 subjects in Bangalore during the period of November 2015 to May 2017.Among the subjects studied, 54.7% were Male and 45.3% were female. When compared to BMI, WC and WHR, SAD correlated better with total cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar and HbA1c.Results: The mean SAD was more in people with a combined history of DM and HTN than in individuals with history of either DM or HTN alone.Conclusions: We could conclude that Sagittal Abdominal Diameter is comparable to Body Mass Index, but it correlates better with metabolic risk profile of an individual than BMI, WC and WHR.

Published: September 2022

Here in we report a diagnostically challenging case of adult hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) triggered by disseminated tuberculosis and Klebsiella pneumoniae co-infection in an immunocompetent Individual. She was a young female presented with complaints of fever, abdominal pain and jaundice. Her evaluation showed cytopenias, hyperbilirubinemia, transaminitis, and hepatosplenomegaly. She progressed to have multi-organ involvement in the form of myocarditis, pleural effusion. Provisional diagnosis of fever with unknown origin and sepsis with multiple-organ dysfunction was made and evaluated for the same. Rapid clinical deterioration with evaluation for sepsis being normal prompted for considering HLH in the differential diagnoses, bone marrow and other criteria have been met resulting in confirmation of the same. Without prior past or family history of HLH, secondary HLH was suspected and substantial evaluation for possible triggers was made, and concomitantly immune suppression was started with corticosteroids. Disseminated tuberculosis was diagnosed and concomitantly Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from the bronchioalveolar lavage cultures. As there was no significant immune response culmination, intravenous immunoglobulins were added along with the treatment for possible triggers-tuberculosis and Klebsiella simultaneously. Patient showed significant improvement with this approach. In conclusion management of HLH is different from conventional sepsis and the treatment for each cause of HLH also varies. Furthermore, this case report stresses on the importance for initiating treatment rapidly and tailored approach of management therapy for each case.

Published: September 2022

The human monkeypox virus is a zoonotic infection that is closely related to smallpox virus. It more commonly exists in forested habitats of western and central Africa. In the recent outbreak of the monkeypox virus, the total number of positive cases escalated to 32,760 and 12 deaths were reported so far. With rodents being primary reservoirs, the virus spreads through animals, fomites, respiratory droplets and, direct contact. It typically presents as a vesiculo-pustular rash along with fever, headache, malaise and chills. Taking this clinical spectrum into consideration, differential diagnosis to rule out smallpox is very much significant. Though there are no licensed therapies for monkeypox, treatment regimens and vaccination for small pox can also be used for monkeypox. Effective prevention relies on avoiding contact and limiting respiratory exposure with the infected patients by following standard precautions. This review article gives an insight into epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, transmission, vaccination, and prevention of infection.

Authors: Oke Oluwatosin G. , Adewole Moses B. , Akinpelu Bolajoko A.
Published: September 2022

Background: Indiscriminate dumping of wastes, including heavy metals such as lead (Pb) on Nigerian soils is increasing. Helianthus annuus has been found to have ability to clean up contaminated soils, but with paucity of information on the effect of Pb stress on the plant’ antioxidant enzymes activities when fertilizers are applied as soil enhancers, hence this study.

Methods: The experiment consisted of four levels (0, 400, 800, 1200 mg Pb kg-1) using [Pb (CH3COO)2.3H2O], three rates (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1) of organic and two rates (0 and 2 t ha-1) of urea fertilizers, and each treatment was replicated thrice to give a total of 72 experimental units in pot culture. Each pot contained 10 kg of sieved topsoil and arranged in a complete randomized design. The H. annuus seeds were sown, fertilizers were applied and stands of H. annuus were collected for antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, POX and APX) activities determination in the roots and shoots using standard methods.

Results: Soil pH was slightly acidic and soil texture was loamy sand. Biomass yield of H. annuus increased with increase in organic fertilizer, but decreased with increase in Pb contamination. There was significant (p<0.05) increase in detoxification responses in the shoots than the roots of H. annuus against oxidative stress caused by Pb toxicity when organic fertilizer was applied to soil.

Conclusions: The study concluded that addition of organic fertilizer increased biomass yield and had superior enhancing detoxification responses on H. annuus against oxidative stress by Pb toxicity.

Authors: Mabika Nyasha
Published: September 2022

Background: Vaccination is one of the most effective measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. However, the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of the intended population towards vaccination is important for successful implementation of the exercise. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of Great Zimbabwe University students towards COVID-19 vaccination.

Methods:  An online survey was conducted from 01 November to 17 December 2021 by requesting students to complete a questionnaire which was set up using Google forms. The generated link was shared on student portals.

Results: The most common source of information on COVID-19 vaccination was social media. The majority of the respondents demonstrated their knowledge of how COVID-19 is transmitted and indicated that they would take the COVID-19 vaccine if it is available. Most respondents indicated that they would encourage family/ friends/relatives to get vaccinated. About 87% were worried about being infected with COVID-19 and 26.4% were hesitant to get COVID-19 vaccine. Over 68 % perceived that vaccination would stop the spread of COVID-19. About 81% feared that there was a high risk of getting infected with COVID-19 at the university.

Conclusions: The majority of university students intended to get the COVID-19 vaccine; The sources of information cited by the students should be prioritized in disseminating COVID 19 vaccination information. These findings can help the Ministry of Health plan for future efforts to increase vaccine uptake that may eventually lead to herd immunity against COVID-19.
Simulation games in business education: the experience of business simulation "Startup: the Limits to Growth"
Authors: Katalevsky Dmitry
Published: September 2022

The article reveals how simulations can be used in the teaching of management disciplines. Despite the high demand from students for interactive teaching methods, simulation games are still of a limited use in business education. This is largely due to the lack of high-quality simulation games, especially considering unique domestic simulations. The article reviews the author’s experience of teaching of “Startup: Limits to Growth” Simulation Game based on the agent approach to modeling in business education. By reviewing the outcomes of many simulation sessions, we analyze the key strategies of participants’ decision-making and their misperception of complex systems. We show that business game participants on average poorly perform the simulation even considering a rather moderate nature of complexity embedded in the game provided by a couple of feedback loops and delay effects. We suggest active use of business simulations in training of contemporary managers to develop their system thinking skills and to train their holistic analysis capabilities in business.
Virtual and real in modern public relations
Authors: Yakovleva Elena
Published: September 2022

The article provides a comprehensive study of the problem of the virtual in public relations from the standpoint of structural functionalism, social constructivism, social phenomenology and the theory of organ projection developed by M. McLuhan. The structure of the study suggests a consistent transition from analyzing the role of the social worldview as a single form of manifestation of social consciousness to studying the place of virtual elements in it, as well as reflecting the mechanisms of their formation and representation in the social environment. The virtual component of the social worldview is analyzed for functionality. Within the framework of the work, social risks associated with the spread of certain forms of virtual in the social and communicative environment are noted.
Anthropological discourse metamorphoses in the digital age
Authors: Ravochkin Nikita
Published: September 2022

The article discusses the features of the transformation of anthropological discourse in the realities of the digital age. It is presented that up to the present time each epoch offered a somewhat reduced and simplified model of a person who was affected by determinants of the same nature. The author fixes the main features of postmodern thought, which make up a complex of factors influencing the existence of a person. It is traced how a person of the digital age is able to independently form himself, while it is justified how he loses his subjectivity. It is substantiated that the increase in contradictions is also not eliminated due to the possession of information. The characteristic features of new values and opportunities of the digital age are revealed. The direct dependence of a person and his social success on the development of technical and technological achievements and their possession is determined, and the influence of the mass media is also taken into account. The forms of human segregation and the trajectory of dehumanization are outlined. In conclusion, generalizations are given that constitute the theoretical and methodological basis for further conceptual understanding of a person in the digital age.

Authors: Dementyeva Vera V.
Published: September 2022

The article discusses the teaching of a number of subjects of classical studies - Latin and ancient Greek, ancient history and literature - by professors of the Demidov Higher Sciences School. The attention of P. G. Demidov to humanitarian subjects in the Athenaeum founded by him is noted (the official Latin name of the school was Athenaeum litterarum Demidowianum Jaroslaviense), as well as his personal invitations of classical philologists for teaching. The author connects the formation of P. G. Demidov’s interest to classical languages and to the sciences in general with his studies in Revel with Professor A. F. Sigismundi, about whom the article provides biographical information. The activity in Yaroslavl of classical philologists I. E. Sreznevsky, F. Schmidt and M. O. Khanenko, as well as A. F. Klimenko and S. A. Vilinsky is characterized. The content of speeches by S A. Vilinsky about the history and «successes of enlightenment» of the three ancient peoples - the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans is analyzed. It is concluded that classical studies at the Demidov School were originally an essential and very significant part of the formation of higher education in Yaroslavl.

Byzantine Society as Described by the Chroniclers of the Fourth Crusade: A Statistical Analysis
Authors: Frolov Denis L.
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the characteristics given to the Byzantine society by the chroniclers of the fourth crusade. Based on a statistical analysis of the works of Geoffroi de Villehardouin, Robert de Clari and Henri de Valenciennes, the author comes to the conclusion that the Frankish knights considered the social structure of Byzantium almost identical to their own. They showed the greatest interest in their “brothers” - the higher and lower strata of local nobility, which was subsequently integrated into the system of vassal-fief relations. This fact is confirmed by the use of specific western terms (“senior”, “lady”, “chevalier”, “sir”) in relation to representatives of the Greek aristocracy, as well as by naming agreements with some archon communities of the former western Byzantine provinces as “fealte”. The feudal lords also paid close attention to the indigenous military troops, less to the masses of townspeople and almost completely ignored the existence of the ordinary (more or less dependent) rural population. At the same time, fears were widespread among the conquerors towards all Greek people, who were often considered traitors. This bias could be due to the negative experience of the relationship between the crusaders and the Constantinople authorities in the 12th century, the Europeans’ misunderstanding of the another culture features, as well as the propaganda of the Catholic clergy, who sought to expose the Byzantines as schismatics or heretics.

Authors: Makarov Igor I.
Published: September 2022

Law-enforcement problems of implementing the provisions of the Decree of 8 July 1944 on the recovery of maintenance for minor children
Authors: Lekanova Ekaterina E.
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this article is to identify the most important law-enforcement problems in implementing the provisions of the Decree of 8 July 1944 on the recovery of maintenance for minor children. The relevance of the study is due to the cyclicality of historical events, alternately causing either a tightening or a liberalization of the legal regulation of family relations. The article analyzes the judicial practice of the 1940s related to the recovery of maintenance for illegitimate children. The author of the article draws attention to the legislative-technical and contentual disadvantages of the Decree of 8 July 1944, which were discriminatory in relation to illegitimate children and their mothers. These disadvantages motivated courts to replace the legislator for the sake of these persons. In the process of law-enforcement practice of the post-war period, the Supreme Court of the USSR created in fact a new rule on the mother’s right to receive maintenance for children born out of wedlock after the issuance of the Decree of 8 July 1944, thereby exceeding its powers, although it was guided by noble motives.

Authors: Smirnov Alexander A. , Solovyeva Elizaveta V.
Published: September 2022

The article is a continuation of the theoretical aspect, where an attempt was made to consider empathy through the prism of the structural-level approach of M. S. Rogovin. Currently, it is necessary to study mental phenomena in the understanding of their multidimensionality, non-linearity of construction and development. It was found that empathy has a «splitting effect», described in detail by M. A. Kholodnaya on the example of intellectual abilities, on productive and destructive components.
Poland in the European Union: history and modernity
Authors: Zaets Svetlana V. , Kushnarev Filipp Yu.
Published: September 2022

The article shows the dynamics of the development of relations between Poland and the European Union from the early 1990s to the present day. The history of the entry of the Polish state into the European community, the political and socio-economic consequences of this event is analyzed. The facts testifying to the initial polarization of society in relation to EU membership between the conservative-nationalist party «PiS» and the liberal-democratic «Civic Platform» are presented. The topical issue related to the supremacy of European legislation over the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the attitude of the ruling party and the population of the country to it is considered. The authors of the article conducted a study on the attitude of Poles to membership in the European Union and concluded that most of them highly appreciate the role of their state in the EU, enjoy the benefits of European citizenship and see themselves as Europeans. Attention is drawn to the fact that the developed countries of the West do not perceive Poland as an equal member of the European Community, and it does not feel like such, because in terms of most economic indicators, the country initially lagged behind generally accepted indicators and is forced to receive financial assistance. The authors briefly touched upon the current events in Ukraine and the reaction of the Polish government in the context of the European Union. As a result, at the moment a picture is being created that Poland is in the wake of the EU's anti-Russian policy and sees its role in «saving the world from Russian expansion». Perhaps, by such participation in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it seeks to compensate for its secondary position in the European Union and increase its authority in the international arena.
Academic leadership in the context of the development of transprofessional identity in the conditions of digitalization and regionalization
Authors: Vodenko Konstantin V.
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the article is to develop a theoretical concept and adequate methodological tools for the study of academic leadership as a factor in the development of transprofessional identity and the formation of a new economy market in the conditions of digitalization of higher education. Academic leadership as a factor of transprofessional identity and the formation of the labor market is in demand in the context of the dominant digitalization trends in higher education. This is expressed in the fact that within the framework of the formation of the labor market of the future, the request of specialists focused on transprofessional identity, a fixed attitude to change professional identity under the influence of the «supply-demand» scheme in the labor market becomes relevant. It is obvious that in the modern conditions of higher education development, changes in the organization, structure of training, dispositions of education actors are associated with a semantic reset of academic leadership. Outside of the analysis of this process, higher education does not realize the functions of training specialists for the market of the new economy and creates blocking effects on the way of introducing the latest technologies, digitalization of higher education. In this context, academic leadership is interpreted as a set of factors and conditions aimed at restructuring the higher education system according to the criteria of readiness for transprofessional identity and competitiveness in the market of the new economy.
