Recently, antibiotic resistance of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms is one of the primary problems of medicine. Scientists pay considerable attention to the study of genes for resistance of strains of streptomycetes as sources of such genes for microorganisms. The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity of 9 strains of streptomycetes producing polyketide antibiotics to tetracycline and oleandomycin and to identify possible correlations in resistant and sensitive strains between the level of their resistance and the presence of resistance genes in chromosomes. Methods. 9 strains of producers of polyketide antibiotics were studied: Streptomyces cyanogenus S136, S. fradiae Tu2717, S. glaucescens Tu49, S. olivaceus Tu2353, S. antibioticus 35, S. globisporus 1912, S. aureofaciens 019, S. coelicolor A3(2), S. lividans TK24. Appropriate microbiological (method of serial dilution in agar) and biotechnological (method of computerized analysis of sequences) methods were used. Results. According to the sensitivity to oleandomycin and tetracycline, the studied strains of streptomycetes can be divided into 3 groups. The first group includes strains resistant to both antibiotics — S. coelicolor A3(2) and S. lividans TK24, the second group includes strains resistant to only one of the antibiotics: more resistant to oleandomycin — S. globisporus 1912, S. glaucescens Tu49, S antibiotic 35-1; more resistant to tetracycline — S. olivaceus Tu2353, S. fradiae Tu2717, S. aureofaciens 019. Strain S. cyanogenus S136 is sensitive to both antibiotics. Conclusions. A correlation was found between the level of tetracycline resistance and the presence (the number and similarity of structures) in the genomes of strains S. lividans TK24, S. globisporus 1912, and S. cyanogenus S136 sequences, which are similar to the sequences of tetracycline resistance genes of strain S. coelicolor A3(2).

Viticulture is one of the most intensive and complex branches of Ukraine agriculture. Grapevine virus diseases are responsible for considerable economic losses to grape productivity and wine industries. One of the most notable and widespread viruses associated with vine leafroll disease is grapevine leafroll-associated viruses (GLRaV), belonging to the genus Ampelovirus, family Closteroviridae. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct a survey targeting two viruses involved in the grapevine leafroll, namely grapevine leafroll-associated virus 1 (GLRaV-1) and virus 3(GLRaV-3) distributed in commercial wine grapes growing in the vineyards of the Ovidiopol and Bolhrad districts of the Odesa region. For efficient and accurate virus detection, we aimed to design universal primers based on conserved nucleotide sequences. Methods. Virus surveys of vineyards, visual diagnosis, immunoassay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcription (RT-PCR), and Sanger sequencing of partial genome sequences of GLRaV. Results. The results obtained indicate that grapevine leafroll disease symptoms in field-grown grapevines in the south of Ukraine are caused by GLRaV-3. GLRaV-1 was not detected in any of the samples tested. To confirm the presence of GLRaV-3 in the samples, specific primers were designed targeting the coat protein region (GLRaV3-7f 5’-AGTAGGGGATGCAGCACAAG-3’; GLRaV3-7r 5’-ATCCAAAGCTATTCCCTTGC-3’) of the virus. A new set of primers (GLRaV3-7f / GLRaV3-7r) has been validated for sensitive detection of GLRaV-3 by RT-PCR and may be useful for routine virus detection in the laboratory as well as for large-scale testing. The partial coat protein gene of the isolate, GLRaV-3 ukr, distributed in the south of Ukraine, was sequenced, and the obtained sequence was deposited in GenBank under Acc. No. ON015835. The phylogenetic study demonstrated that GLRaV-3 ukr was closely related to isolates from Russia (MZ065372 and MZ065370).

Fungal diseases cause signifi cant damage to agriculture. Plectosphaerella melonis (syn. Acremonium cucurbitacearum and Nodulisporium melonis) is a pathogen of cultivated plant diseases in Spain, Italy, Japan, USA, Egypt, and Ukraine. This review discusses the main results of research related to this phytopathogen. By morphological and cultural features, P. melonis is a morphologically intermediate species between A. strictum and A. charticola, however, 5.8S-ITS regionbased phylogenetic analysis showed that P. melonis is a monophyletic taxon more closely related to Plectosphaerella than to other species of the genus Acremonium. The most susceptible plants are at the stage of germination; however, the development of the disease is manifested in the fruiting period. For a comprehensive assessment of virulence, real leaf area (RLA) of the first two leaves, lesion of hypocotyl (RH), root collar (RSR), primary (R1R) and secondary roots (R2R) are measured. P. melonis affects the root system, in particular the root collar and hypocotyl, and colonizes the epidermis and cortex of the root centrographically towards the stem. The range of host plants includes Cucurbitaceae, however, peppers, tomatoes, basil, and parsley are infected as well. Plants vary in susceptibility depending on the species and even variety. The pathogenic response of plants differs depending on the growing conditions (protected and open soil), the interaction between the pathogen and competing microorganisms, and other ecological and trophic relationships. The main means of control are the use of long-term crop rotations and the selection of resistant varieties. In Ukraine, a strain of the antagonist fungus Trichoderma viride was selected, which is an effective means for controlling P. melonis 502. The aim of our work was to establish the role of P. melonis in the development of diseases of cultivated plants.

Published: December 2022

In the present review, we summarised the information on helminths of 14 species of wild carnivorans (a total of 260 individuals examined) from Ukraine based on an investigation of collection materials. Additionally, helminths of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris L. (n = 73) and domestic cat, Felis catus L. (n = 11) were reviewed. Helminth species and main helminth taxa (Cestoda, Trematoda, and Nematoda) were classified according to their occurrence (prevalence of infection). Helminth fauna composition and structure in host families Canidae, Felidae, and Mustelidae and in separate host species were analysed. Sixty helminth species were found in wild carnivorans in Ukraine, including 18 species of cestodes, 11 species of trematodes, and 31 species of nematodes. In wild Canidae, 45 helminth species were recorded. Nematodes were a predominating group of helminths in the red fox, Vulpes vulpes L., cestodes predominated in the wolf, Canis lupus L., and trematodes occurred more often in the raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides Gray. Mustelidae (40 specimens of 8 species) harboured 25 helminth species; nematodes predominated by their occurrence and number of species. In the American mink, Neovizon vison Brisson, however, trematodes appeared to be the predominating group of helminths. The wolf, the red fox, and the domestic dog showed maximum similarity in the helminth fauna composition. A rather high similarity was observed between the helminth faunae of the raccoon dog and the American mink (IS = 0.42), both hosts being introduced species in the fauna of Ukraine.

Published: December 2022

OBJECTIVES:

Procalcitonin (PCT) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2016. We assessed changes in PCT utilization over time in emergency departments (EDs) at US Children’s Hospitals and identified the most common conditions associated with PCT testing.

METHODS:

We performed a cross-sectional study of children <18 years of age presenting to 1 of 33 EDs contributing data to the Pediatric Health Information System between 2016 and 2020. We examined trends in PCT utilization during an ED encounter between institutions and over the study period. Using All Patients Refined Diagnosis Related Groups, we identified the most common conditions for which PCT was obtained (overall, and relative to the performance of a complete blood count).

RESULTS:

The overall rate of PCT testing increased from 0.2% of all ED visits in 2016 to 1.8% in 2020. Across hospitals, the proportion of ED encounters with PCT obtained ranged from 0.0005% to 4.3% with marked variability in overall use. Among children who had PCT testing performed, the most common diagnoses were fever (10.7%), infections of the upper respiratory tract (9.2%), and pneumonia (5.9%). Relative to the performance of a complete blood count, rates of PCT testing were highest among children with sepsis (28.7%), fever (21.4%), pulmonary edema/respiratory failure (17.3%), and bronchiolitis/respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia (15.6%).

CONCLUSIONS:

PCT utilization in the ED has increased over the past 5 years with variation between hospitals. PCT is most frequently obtained for children with respiratory infections and febrile illnesses.

Will small towns benefit? Expected COVID-19 pandemic-induced changes in supralocal relationships of Polish small towns and planned responses in the supralocal perspective of their local development strategic governance
Authors: Sztando Andrzej
Published: December 2022

The system transformation of the 1990s for the majority of Polish small towns (STs) meant deep, unfavourable changes in the supralocal conditions of their local development (LD). As a result, they were affected by many negative phenomena. The COVID-19 pandemic has started socio-economic changes, the current predominant assessment of which is negative. Nevertheless, for Polish STs, instead of short-term reworsening their supralocal situation, these changes may turn out to be beneficial in the longer term. The article presents the expectations and observations of authorities in the field of pandemic-induced changes in the relations between their STs and the supralocal environment, as well as the planned, strategic reactions. The results of the research allowed conclusion that the changes in question in combination with the planned reactions have a significant stimulating potential in terms of LD. The article ends with recommendations for the use of information contained in the post-pandemic strategic governance of STs, in creating anti-crisis policies of states and in teaching practice
Notes on the “Antiquities” of Constantinople
Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vinogradov Andrey Yurievich
Published: December 2022

This article discusses some antiquities of Constantinople, described in the patriographic texts from the eighth to the tenth centuries. For the first time in Russian, it presents a detailed description and filiation of such texts as: Brief representations from the chronicles, Diegesis of the Great Church, and Patria Constantinopoleos. The exact dating of Παραστάσεις σύντομοι χρονικαί to the mid-eighth century has been proposed. Topographical and other details are clarified regarding the Hippodrome (bronze obelisks with ovae and the Underground Gates), the Senate (the astronomical construction where the Arians killed Archdeacon Arkadios), the Milion (the trial measure as “Stateros”), the Forums of Constantine and Taurus (the silver statue of Theodosius I and the “rough statues”), the Chalke gate (the statue of Ariadne), Artopolia (the person of Aristides), Myrelaion (the problem of Psarelaion and of the “two Myrelaia”), Pege (the legend of the construction of Theotokos church), the statues of Eudoxia (at St. Euphemia in ta Olybriou and on the Augustaion) and Janus (counting with the fingers of the hands). The genesis of the tradition of Apostle Andrew’s preaching in Byzantium has been reconstructed: from the apocryphal Acts of Andrew through the List of Disciples by Pseudo-­Epiphanius of Cyprus to Epiphanius the Monk and the attempts of his followers to localize the Theotokos church on the Acropolis.
Para além do colonialismo: a sinuosa confluência entre o Museu Goeldi e os Mebêngôkre
Authors: SANJAD NELSON , LÓPEZ-GARCÉS CLAUDIA LEONOR , COELHO MATHEUS CAMILO , SANTOS ROBERTO ARAÚJO , ROBERT PASCALE DE
Published: December 2022

RESUMO O artigo apresenta as transformações no relacionamento do Museu Goeldi com os povos indígenas, neste caso, os Mebêngôkre (mais conhecidos como Kayapó), em uma perspectiva de longa duração. A complexidade dessa relação não se resume à mera influência de um darwinismo social que teria acantonado os museus de história natural no papel de agentes do colonialismo e de ideólogos de um racismo estrutural. Três momentos-chave da construção dos vínculos entre o Museu Goeldi e os Mebêngôkre são analisados: a transição entre o século XIX e o XX, quando missões religiosas eram financiadas pelo Estado e intermediárias obrigatórias entre os indígenas e a sociedade nacional, no intuito de integrá-los à “civilização”; os anos 1930, em que novos movimentos migratórios para a região amazônica e os ditames de uma oligarquia que se fortalecia por meio do controle fundiário - sobretudo em áreas produtoras de castanha-do-pará - ameaçavam a integridade física e territorial desse povo; e, finalmente, os anos 1980-1990, quando surge uma oposição ao desenvolvimentismo do regime militar, cristalizando-se num modelo socioambiental que reconhece a importância do protagonismo dos indígenas e das populações tradicionais na Amazônia. Uma vez destacadas as transformações verificadas na relação entre museus e povos indígenas, conclui-se advogando a importância assumida no século XXI por pesquisas colaborativas e por uma museologia participativa - tanto para sua qualificação científica quanto para a valorização de um saber indígena com profundas repercussões políticas, sociais e ambientais.

RESUMO O artigo analisa como as organizações interpretam as relações sistêmicas envolvendo o mercado e relações de trabalho em suas estratégias de gestão de recursos humanos (GRH) na pandemia da Covid-19. Por meio de abordagem qualitativa, realizaram-se quatro grupos focais com 24 gestores de pessoas e entrevistas com quatro representantes sindicais em três regiões do Brasil: Sul (Joinville, SC), Nordeste (Fortaleza, CE) e Centro-Oeste (Brasília, DF). Os achados indicam lacunas de conhecimento das áreas de GRH sobre mercado e relações de trabalho, práticas similares de GRH em patamares distintos, institucionalizadas por repertório comum, enquanto os sindicatos adaptam-se à nova legislação trabalhista. O contexto pandêmico trouxe mudanças estruturais, como o teletrabalho, ajuste à legislação e organização do trabalho, e também mudanças comportamentais, e efeitos na saúde do trabalhador. O estudo contribui teoricamente ao discutir a GRH sob a abordagem institucional; metodologicamente propicia pesquisas comparativas; e empiricamente ilustra como acontece a GRH em distintas regiões do País.

Published: December 2022

Social geography in Russia, as well as throughout the world, is experiencing strong competition from regional research areas of other social sciences. This is reflected in the reducing share and also absolute number of publications in the field of social geography; in a decrease in the number of dissertation councils and the number of dissertation defenses in specialty ‘Economic, Social, Political and Recreational Geography’; in the elimination of specialized departments and laboratories; in the declining research potential of scientific socio-geographical centers, especially regional ones. The authors attempt to identify the spatial localization of such centers and the effectiveness of the activities of their leading scientists, to typify the regions according to the level of the social geography development, and to evaluate the dynamics of their development. The assessment methodology is based on the estimation of the publication activity of scientists from different organizations and regions with the use of the eLibrary.ru database. We used data (depending on the indicators under consideration) for the period of 2016–2020, for 2021, and as of March 18, 2022. The study revealed a deep and increasing spatial polarization of publication activity. It is proposed to enhance the coverage of existing and potential research results in order to draw attention to the possibilities of social geography for improving strategic and spatial planning. The paper highlights the need to develop network interactions to increase the research potential of the science.

The primary purpose of the research paper of practical importance is to study the historical migration of ethnic minorities settling in the north-western zone of Azerbaijan to Azerbaijan and the reasons and consequences of their participation in modern migration processes. The migration of ethnic groups inhabiting the region was studied on the basis of historical materials, and in order to study the current situation, causes and directions of contemporary migration processes, we conducted the research in the several settlements, which are settled compactly by ethnic minorities, of the region. According to the results of the study, the role of socio-economic factors in the intensification of migration processes in recent years among the ethnic minorities living in the region has been significant. It was revealed that the ethnicity of the migrant is the determinant of the area to which they migrate. Additionally, the impact ways of the tendencies in the migration processes on the alterations of age composition were researched in the article. It was concluded that as a result of the mass migration young generation, the share of seniors has increased in society and the ageing processes of the population have accelerated.

The existing problems of sustainable development of territories, declining living standards, and increasing social inequality necessitated the development by the Government of the Russian Federation of a list of indicators for the analysis, evaluation, and monitoring of the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). It is grouped by 17 goals and used to prepare national reports and publications on the accomplishment of the SDGs in Russia. Our study provides assessment of the SDG indicators in 18 steppe regions of Russia for three years: 2011, 2015, and 2019. The rating assessment was carried out by the sum of rankings method, which made it possible to generalize individual estimates by totaling the rankings of the regions for each SDG indicator for each year. Based on the proposed methodology for calculating the integral sustainability rating, we have identified the leaders among the steppe zone regions (the Krasnodar Territory, Belgorod and Samara regions) as well as the regions with the ‘worst’ indicators of sustainable development (the Republic of Kalmykia, Altai Territory, Kurgan region). The results of the rating assessment are consistent with the results of cluster analysis. The evaluation of the relationship between the SDG indicators made it possible to establish the set of exogenous variables: employment and unemployment levels; the income concentration index; the proportion of the population living below the national poverty line; gross regional product per capita; indicators of the goal ‘Creation of sustainable infrastructure, promotion of extensive and sustainable industrialization and innovation’. The comprehensive assessment of the steppe regions differentiation according to the sustainable development indicators is visualized on a cartographic diagram. The results of the study, as well as the proposed methodology, can be used for monitoring and making optimal management decisions, for achieving the goals of sustainable development of steppe regions in terms of the economic, social, and environmental components.

Introduction: the role of non-profit organizations in Russia has been rising gradually, fostered by internal and external developments. However, the trend has failed to attract proper attention. Correcting the situation requires a detailed focus on the status and role-specific characteristics of non-profit organizations based on location and taking into consideration their subjectivity, structure, properties, and qualities. Objectives: to assess the status and role-specific characteristics of the non-profit sector in the Republic of Mordovia with further description of its subsequent impact on social and political transformations in the regional space. Methods: Huberman’s theory of communicative action, the concept of correlation between territorial development profile and the numbers of voluntary organizations by R. D. Putnam, R. Leonardi and R. Y. Nanetti, expert survey, web monitoring, statistical data analysis and hierarchy analysis method. Results: the trends of development of the non-profit sector in the intraregional space was analyzed and the status and role-specific characteristics of local non-profit organizations was determined, a differential approach to the analysis of the non-profit sector, taking into account regional specifics, is proposed. The research revealed the resources and potential of the non-profit sector of the Republic of Mordovia, which were grouped in several blocks: quantitative, diversity, influence, public support, budget revenue, competence, solidarity resources. Conclusions: the status and role-specific characteristics of the non-profit sector depend on the aspects of the region’s socioeconomic development and political regime. Non-profit organizations take guidance in the actual situation to build up resources and put them to work. The authors proved that dislocation of non-profit organizations determines its design, probability of survival and maturity. An organization established in a particular regional space adapts to the local settings and is driven by the change of demand for sociopolitical transformations. That’s why the authors proposed a differentiated approach to the analysis of non-profit sector which is to take into account a diverse regional makeup of the country.
Government crowdsourcing as a technology for territorial development and an image resource of power

Published: December 2022

Introduction: one of the topical areas for the transformation of political communication in the context of the digitalization of actors and interaction channels is crowdsourcing project activities. It involves the delegation of some powers from authorities to certain groups of people and / or the public and is a sign of the emergence of network democracy and a new format of dialogue between government and society. The experience of introducing crowdsourcing platforms potentially changes the configuration of political resources, providing additional tools for developing the territory and constructing a digital image of power. Objectives: to analyze regional practices in government crowdsourcing, identification of its functions, trends, risks, and efficiency indicators in the context of territorial development and government authorities’ image building. Methods: the case study methodological approach and media monitoring based on the “Medialogia” and “Brand Analytics” information portals for the calendar year. Results: the article presents the analysis of crowdsourcing web projects as managerial and image resources for authorities at the regional and municipal levels. Given the diversity of crowdsourcing political communication, including its variations such as crowdmapping, crowdvoting, crowdfunding and others, the article discusses the experience of Russia and foreign countries in testing and implementing various crowdsourcing options in political and management process. Conclusions: being aimed at the increased involvement of citizens into interaction with the authorities, crowdsourcing, in its political dimension, being often referred to as citizensourcing, de jure makes it possible to implement ideas and ideals of network democracy to a larger extent. However, de facto, it does not guarantee either a full delegation of power to citizens, or the provision by the authorities of any significant and serious advantages for residents using such tools. The key role in the qualitative measurement of citizensourcing platforms is played by the architecture of certain initiatives and projects that are to be submitted to the court of public opinion and collective discussion. In several cases considered, there is a desire of power subjects to grant the right to citizens only to have the opportunity to influence the form of the decision, but not its essence and content. At the same time, political actors using the tools of political crowdsourcing, regardless of what role is destined in them for the public, can potentially derive many benefits from such projects – from effective or, at least, spectacular image of their managerial decisions to obtaining additional opportunities and resources for the electorate mobilization during election campaigns.

Kıyı oku gibi bir kum bariyeri ile denizden ayrılmış sığ su kütlesi olan lagünler, son derece zenginve hassas ekosistemlerdir. Ancak, son yıllarda yapılan bilimsel araştırmalar lagün ekosistemlerininantropojenik etkiler nedeniyle ekolojik risk sorunları yaşadığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanınamacı; Edremit ilçesi (Balıkesir, Türkiye) sınırlarında yer alan Edremit Lagünü’nde potansiyel toksikelement (PTE) kaynaklı ekolojik risk seviyesinin zamansal değişimini analiz etmektir. Çalışmakapsamında; lagünden 1 adet 28 cm uzunluğunda karot alınmıştır. Sediment örnekleri kullanılarakklorofil bozunma ürünleri, toplam organik karbon ve PTE konsantrasyonları analiz edilmiştir.Zenginleşme faktörü ve jeoakümülasyon indeksi ile PTE’lerin doğal-antropojenik kaynakları tespitedilmiştir. Modifiye ekolojik risk indeksi ve modifiye potansiyel ekolojik risk indeksiyle ekolojik riskseviyesi belirlenmiştir. Toksik risk seviyesi toksik risk indeksi ile analiz edilmiştir. PTE’lerin muhtemelkaynakları çok değişkenli istatistiksel analizlerle belirlenmiş, Arc – Map 10.5 yazılımıyla haritalamaişlemleri yapılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen bulgulara göre; Mo ve Mn dışında hiçbirPTE zenginleşmemiştir. Cd hariç hiçbir PTE ekolojik risk yaratmamaktadır. Lagünde düşük seviyedeekolojik ve toksik risk bulunmaktadır. Hg, As ve Mn gelecekte ekolojik ve toksik riski arttırabilecekPTE’ler olarak tanımlanmıştır. Bu nedenle; Hg, As, Mn’nin lagün ekosistemine deşarjının sınırlandırılmasıiçin gerekli önlemlerin alınması önerilmektedir.

The sustainability of companies is a principle that is increasingly defining their development and growth, with the valuation of the market and products and services, having the principles of the United Nations Global Compact as the guidelines for achieving sustainability. In the case of a logistics for a transportation company, it is necessary to carry out a diagnosis of performance to then establish an action plan that aims at its sustainability, called Sustainable

Plan for Transport Logistics (SPTL). Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop a methodology for the diagnosis, allowing the company to classify its sustainability and guide it in the elaboration of the action plan in the short, medium and long term of the SPTL. The principle was to develop an objective method to classify the level of sustainability of a company based on a final score, determined by means of parameters modified from the principles of the

UN Global Compact, called "principles of sustainability". The method was then applied to a transportation company located in the Northeast of São Paulo. We conclude that the proposed method allowed us to classify the company's sustainability as moderate, as well as to identify the points that need action to achieve full sustainability, acting with respect to the principles of human rights and labor, environment and anti-corruption.
Fractal geometry: A consolidated tool for imagination
Authors: TÉLLEZ-MEDINA Dario Iker
Published: December 2022

Since the very first attempts performed by the human brain for acquiring information about the surrounding world, priority is usually given to the information received by visual channels, i.e. by the eyes. It is interesting the proportion of human cerebral cortex destined for processing the stimuli captured by the photo-sensors contained in the retina, ranging 55%. According to several authors (1-4), the human learning process involves the association of each stimulus received by the different transduction assemblies composing the five senses to an image or, even, to a specific intricate memory. This has derived in formulating research works about how the brain develops the processes of creation and imagination. Therefore, the complexity of the well-known capacity of children for drawing in the mind (or in a piece of paper) a picture of an imaginary creature, and defining how it smells, hears, tastes, and touches, is astonishing. Having fun making an imaginary creature does not necessarily imply an easy task for the human brain, especially if the thinker of such an imaginary creature goes deeper into deciding if the creature becomes an opponent or a friend. In turn, the learning process may result affected when the visual channels do not work properly. Some studies have shown that lack of visual experience delays the physiological development of cognitive, social and linguistic skills in blind children. Although this might signify a serious disadvantage for an adequate brain development, there exist reports indicating that cerebral processing of shapes, spatial perception and imagery occurs in the same way and in the same highly-specialised visual areas, despite the sensory channels through which the information is acquired, in both blind and non-blind individuals. Furthermore, it is possible to mention many examples of blind persons noticing some aspects that the non-blind ones do not recognise.

Информационно-технологическая дидактика в оперативном и компетентностном плане уже занимает объёмы никак не меньшие, чем традиционные компоненты образовательного пространства. Перспективы развития, развёртывания, интеграции цифрового образования даже в представимом регистре весьма масштабны. Рассчитывать, что вне системного исследования и контроля, структурирования и прогнозирования данная область будет совершенствоваться и актуализироваться социально благоприятно, безопасно и созидательно в перспективе, было бы крайне нецелесообразно. Цифровая культура, цифровой интеллект, цифровая среда в деятельностном единстве унификации и индивидуализации занятости обучающихся востребуют от социума создания и совершенствования эффективного аналитического и оперативного инструментария, системного мониторинга и поддержки ИТ-образования, адресного тьютинга и перспективного моделирования данного пространства. Переход от информационных страхов через метасистемное инструментирование и структурирование цифрового пространства предполагает в перспективе целенаправленную индустриализацию ИТ-сферы, с тем, чтобы не упустить возможностей созидательного и относительно безопасного развития цифровой, технологической ипостаси человеческой цивилизации в её пластичный, синергирующий период (подобно тому, как наиболее созидающим периодом являются начальные этапы развития психики человека), не допустить преобладания опасных грубо коммерческих, энтропийных подходов и установок.

Информационная система университета является сложным, многоуровневым и динамичным компонентом техноструктуры ВУЗа. Для обеспечения эффективности административной, научной и педагогической деятельности ВУЗа архитектура информационной системы должна стремиться к интуитивной понятности для всех участников организационных процессов. Качественные и количественные исследования, а также анализ пользовательского опыта являются необходимыми шагами при изначальном проектировании или перекомпоновке существующего информационного ресурса. Статья посвящена анализу удобства взаимодействия с информационной системой Университета ИТМО на основании метода карточной сортировки, который широко применяется в психологической практике и юзабилити-исследованиях для изучения стратегий классификации информационных единиц. Была проанализирована логика распределения общих и специальных функций в структуре системы в представлении 7 сотрудников профессорско-преподавательского состава и 7 сотрудников административно-управленческого сектора. Результатом исследования стала новая модель структуры информационной системы, которая в дальнейшем ляжет в основу древовидного тестирования. Делается вывод о том, что хотя распределение функций во внутренней логике архитектуры информационной системы зависит от структуры административно-управленческого аппарата, тем не менее, оно должно быть ориентировано на опыт взаимодействия с системой пользователей — сотрудников университета.
Ресурс геймификации в бесконтактном мире
Authors:   Санкт-Петербургский государственный университет, Очеретяный К.А.
Published: December 2022

В статье рассматривается проблема становления бесконтактного мира — трансформации всех типов межчеловеческого взаимодействия в направлении взаимодействия с интерфейсом, с различного рода приложениями-сервисами, и сопутствующего изменения форм работы с навыками и знаниями. Анализируются генеалогические истоки и концептуальные границы феномена геймификации, принципы и масштабы ее применимости. Диагностируется, что геймификация, будучи призвана снять отчужденность свойственную бесконтактному миру — вернуть эмоциональные связи (в том числе и в дистанционно-образовательные формы), в действительности превращается в систему рейтингов и индикаторов, подчиняющую человека агональной логике. Такая геймификация оказывается машинно-ориентированной, т.к. по своим требованиям приближает человека к машине. Следовало бы, напротив, приблизить машину к человеку — создать человеко-ориентированную геймификацию. Принципы такой геймификации с человеческим лицом — путем сегментации психотипов, понимания мотивационно-поведенческих аспектов и критической функции игры — показаны в статье. Делается вывод, что в условиях бесконтактного мира геймификация должна подчиняться не только бихевиориальной логике и психологии, но и творческо-критическому началу — ее задача переключать внимание с результата на процесс, со скорости отклика на погружение в проблему, с выбора решения на новую творческую формулировку вопроса, с готовых вариантов на изобретение — в противном случае геймификация останется формой цифровой эксплуатации человеческого капитала.

10-period superlattices with pseudomorphic quantum wells {InxGa1-xAs/GaAs} with indium molar fractions x = 0.1 and 0.2 were grown by molecular beam epitaxy, each of them on GaAs substrates with crystallographic surface orientations (100), (110), and (111)A. A built-in piezoelectric field in the quantum wells of superlattices on GaAs (111)A substrates is formed in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the layers, and it causes a red shift of the peak in the photoluminescence spectrum compared to superlattices on conventional GaAs (100) substrates due to the quantum-confined Stark effect. This red shift increases with reducing photoexcitation power, as the photoexcited carriers screen the piezoelectric field. On the other hand, the peak in the photoluminescence spectra of superlattices on GaAs (110) substrates is not redshifted and does not change its energy position with a reducing in the photoexcitation power, since the piezoelectric field, even if it was formed, is directed laterally in the plane of the layers and does not cause quantum-confined Stark effect.
