Features of the content of teaching test tasks in mathematics for students of secondary vocational education institutions
Authors: Khudzhina Marina V. , Gorlova Svetlana N. , Batalkina Anastasya G.
Published: December 2021

The paper discusses the possibilities of using educational mathematical content in the implementation of educational testing. Distance learning requires a significant revision of educational content. This research is based on the analysis of the accumulated experience in the implementation of training testing. An analysis was carried out in the field of improving educational content and the main directions were determined. Variants of designing the content of test tasks for students of secondary vocational education institutions are proposed, taking into account the specifics of educational activities in the specialty 15.02.07 Automation of technological processes and production (by industry). A new methodological approach to the development and testing process is proposed. The test tasks and their sequence, designed adequately to the logical structure of the educational material, contribute to the formation of systemic knowledge and ways of working with them. It is advisable to include in the content of test materials tasks that focus on building logical conclusions. These techniques and tests are carried out at the Nizhnevartovsk Oil College.
Invasive exotic plant monitoring at Dinosaur National Monument: Results of the 2019 field season on the Green River, and the third completed monitoring rotation
Authors: Perkins Dustin
Published: December 2021

Invasive exotic plant (IEP) species are a significant threat to natural ecosystem integrity and biodiversity, and controlling them is a high priority for the National Park Service. The Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) selected the early detection of IEPs as one of 11 monitoring protocols to be implemented as part of its long-term monitoring program. We also calculated a patch management index (PMI) to quantify the extent and density of invasive patches into a single value that helps identify the scale of the problem. Park managers can use this tool to help prioritize IEP treatment. At Dinosaur National Monument, the NCPN monitors IEPs in the Green and Yampa river corridors. This report summarizes data from monitoring on the Green River in 2019, and monitoring on the Yampa River in 2017, to represent the completion of the third monitoring rotation of the entire river corridor (2002–2005, 2010–2011, 2017–2019). During surveys conducted from June 26 to July 2, 2019, NCPN staff detected 12 priority IEP species and two non-priority species in a 84.6-hectare (209-acre) area along 74.4 kilometers of the Green River above (“upper”) and below (“low-er”) its confluence with the Yampa. A total of 2,535 IEP patches were detected. Of those patches, 24.2% and 15.6% were smaller than 40 m2 on the upper and lower Green River reaches, respectively. The patch management index (PMI) was low or very low for 95.7% of patches on the upper Green River and 90.9% of patches on the lower Green River. Tamarisk (Tamarix sp.), broad-leaf pepperwort (Lepidium latifolium), and yellow sweetclover (Meli-lotus officinalis) were the most widespread species. For the first time, NCPN monitoring detected teasel (Dipsacus sylvestris) on the upper Green River. Yellow sweetclover has increased on all three river reaches during the survey years. Musk thistle (Carduus nutans) was found at considerably lower levels than yellow sweetclover but has also increased on all three river reaches. Leafy spurge is increasing on the lower Green River and Yampa River. Cheatgrass was not monitored in the first rotation, but increased substantially in cover and percent frequency on all three river sections from 2010–2011 to 2017–2019. This increase may be due to a lack of recent high-flow scouring events. The highly regulated upper Green River generally has the highest number of IEPs, while the lower Green River has a moderate amount of IEPs. The largely unregulated flows of the Yampa River continue to result in a lower number of patches per kilometer, lower percent cover, and lower percent frequency than the upper or lower Green River. Network staff will return to the monument in 2022 to begin the fourth monitoring rotation.

Authors: García-Chabur María A. , González Daniela , Salgar Mariana , Rodríguez María Claudia
Published: December 2021

Introducción:  La enfermedad por el nuevo coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) ha cambiado la practica quirúrgica. Su aparición en nuestro país a provocado el aplazamiento masivo de las cirugías electivas. La evidencia actual sobre los desenlaces de las cirugías electivas de otorrinolaringología durante la pandemia de COVID-19 es limitada.

Objetivo: Describir la experiencia quirúrgica durante la pandemia de COVID 19 en un departamento de Otorrinolaringología en Bogotá, Colombia.

Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo que incluyo las historias clínicas y las descripciones quirúrgicas de los pacientes que fueron llevados a cirugía de otorrinolaringología durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en dos hospitales entre el 5 de mayo y el 15 de agosto de 2020 en Bogotá, Colombia.

Resultados: Se incluyeron 199 pacientes (122 hombres y una mediana de edad de 28 años). Ningún paciente falleció o requirió unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI). E 97,5% de las cirugías fueron electivas. 19,5% pacientes desarrollaron síntomas relacionados con COVID-19 en el postoperatorio, de los pacientes evaluados, solo uno obtuvo un resultado positivo postquirúrgico para COVID-19 y no desarrolló ninguna complicación. Seis pacientes desarrollaron complicaciones después de la cirugía y uno tuvo neumonía con resultado de PCR nasofaríngeo para COVID-19 negativo.

Conclusiones: A pesar de la alta exposición a aerosoles durante las cirugías de otorrinolaringología y la alta transmisibilidad del virus, los resultados sugieren que las cirugías de otorrinolaringología con el uso apropiado del equipo de protección personal (EPP) y la adecuada selección de los pacientes es segura para el paciente y para el otorrinolaringólogo.

PANDEMİ POPÜLİZMİN SONUNU GETİREBİLİR Mİ? Batı Avrupa’daki Popülist Radikal Sağ Partiler Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: SAYLAN İbrahim
Published: December 2021

Popülist radikal sağ partiler günümüzde Batı Avrupa siyasetinin dikkate değer aktörlerinden birine dönüşmüştür. Dışlayıcı kimlik tanımı ve otoriter siyasal yönelimleri nedeniyle demokratik sistemler açısından bir tehdit oluşturan bu partilerin yükselişi talep ve arz temelli etmenlere dayandırılırken, krizlerin bu yükselişe olumlu katkı sağladığına ilişkin yaygın bir kabul vardır. Ancak, ekonomik ve siyasal krizler söz konusu olduğunda bu tezi destekleyecek pek çok örnek olmasına karşın, bir sağlık krizi olarak ortaya çıkan COVID-19 pandemisinin popülist partiler açısından yaygın ve düzenli şekilde aynı olumlu etkiyi yapmadığı görülmektedir. Hatta bu gözlemden yola çıkarak, pandeminin popülizmin sonunu getirmekte olduğuna varan abartılı yorumlar yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, pandeminin yarattığı sağlık krizinin popülist radikal sağ partilerin söylem ve politikaları açısından yol açtığı zorluklar ve söz konusu partilerin krize verdikleri tepkilerin yanı sıra, yeni koşulların bu partilerin siyasi gelecekleri üzerindeki olası etkileri ele alınmaktadır. Bu amaçla, Almanya’dan AfD (Alternative für Deutschland – Almanya için Alternatif), Fransa’dan RN (Rassemblement National – Ulusal Birlik), İtalya’dan Lega (Birlik Partisi), İspanya’dan Vox (Ses Partisi) ve Hollanda’dan PVV (Partij vor Vrijheid – Özgürlük Partisi) incelenmektedir. Bu çalışma göstermektedir ki pandeminin yarattığı sağlık krizi popülist radikal sağ partileri siyaseten zora sokmuş görünse de onları etkisizleştirecek nitelikte değildir. Aksine, mevcut yapısal sorunları derinleştirmesi nedeniyle pandeminin bu partileri orta ve uzun vadede daha da güçlendirmesi beklenebilir.

Authors:   Northern State Medical University, Ishekova Nadezhda I. , Ishekov Aleksandr N. , Goryannaya Nadezhda A.
Published: December 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the functional state of the affected hip joint after hip arthroplasty and to analyse patients’ quality of life during rehabilitation. Materials and methods. The study involved patients with 3rd degree hip osteoarthritis that underwent hip replacement. The research was conducted in three stages: 1) before the operation; 2) early postoperative rehabilitation period (10th – 12th day after the operation); 3) late recovery rehabilitation period (10th – 12th week after the operation). At stages 1 and 2, we examined 140 people (mean age 57.0 ± 9.0 years), at stage 3, 43 patients (mean age 55.81 ± 7.8 years). At all three stages, the patients’ hip range of motion, hip circumference and strength endurance of the affected limb were determined. The function of the hip joint was evaluated using the Harris Hip Score, and the quality of life was estimated with the help of the SF-36 questionnaire. Results. The research revealed that during the rehabilitation period, the range of motion increased significantly, hip flexion being restored best of all. Moreover, we observed a statistically significant increase in strength endurance. However, not all indicators reached normal values by the end of the research. The patients’ quality of life improved due to better physical functioning, general health and vitality as well as lower pain intensity. However, we observed no progress in role functioning due to the emotional state. Evaluation according to the Harris Hip Score showed that before the operation 78.6 % of the patients had unsatisfactory joint function, while during the late rehabilitation period, only 20.9 %, which indicates the treatmentʼs effectiveness.

Actinopterygians of the Broumov Formation (Permian) in the Czech part of the Intra-Sudetic Basin (the Czech Republic)
Authors: Štamberg Stanislav
Published: December 2021

Actinopterygians from the Permian sediments of the Czech part of Intra-Sudetic Basin, occurring in the Ruprechtice and Otovice Limestone horizons (Broumov Formation), are revised and redescribed based on both old material and newly discovered specimens. A new diagnosis and reconstruction of Paramblypterus vratislaviensis (Agassiz, 1833), the most numerous actinopterygian of the Ruprechtice Limestone Horizon, and the rare Paramblypterus zeidleri (Fritsch, 1895) are published. First actinopterygians from the Otovice Limestone Horizon were described. Most of the specimens from the Otovice Limestone are referred here to Paramblypterus cf. rohani and Paramblypterus sp. Representatives of Aeduellidae have also recently been discovered in the Otovice Limestone. Osteological fragments belonging to a new taxon exhibit the diagnostic features of the genera Aeduella and Bourbonnela. The reasons for the significantly different faunistic content in the stratigraphically close Ruprechtice Limestone Horizon and Otovice Limestone Horizon are discussed.
New suoid fossils (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) from the Miocene of Moghara, Egypt, and Gebel Zelten, Libya: biochronological implications

Published: December 2021

Some undescribed suoid specimens from early and middle Miocene deposits at Moghara, Egypt, and Gebel Zelten, Libya, are of interest for biochronology. The fossils comprise maxillae and mandibles with incomplete dentitions, which are described and illustrated in detail. Three species of suids and one sanithere occur at Moghara. A huge edentulous suid mandible was collected at Gebel Zelten in 1997 during the Spanish-Libyan Palaeontology Expedition. In January, 2020, additional sanithere fossils were collected from Moghara by a team from Cairo University and the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris. A suid mandible with four teeth collected from Moghara in 1994, and now curated at the Cairo Geological Museum, confirms the presence of the species Libycochoerus massai at the site, previously represented by an isolated upper molar and two canines. A talus previously thought to be from Moghara is now known to have been collected at Wadi Natrun (late Miocene) and thus probably represents a tetraconodont rather than a kubanochoere. The age of the Moghara deposits is estimated to span the period ca. 19.5–16.5 Ma (late early Miocene, Faunal Sets PII–PIIIa) and the Zelten sequence is most likely to span the period ca. 17–14.5 Ma (late early Miocene to basal middle Miocene, Faunal Sets PIIIa–PIIIb).
New actinopterygians from the Permian of the Brive Basin, and the ichthyofaunas of the French Massif Central
Authors: Štamberg Stanislav , Steyer Jean-Sébastien
Published: December 2021

A new actinopterygian fauna from the Permian of the Brive Basin (Corrèze, Massif Central, France) is described in detail. It is represented by a new pygopterid taxon, Briveichthys chantepieorum gen. et sp. nov., erected and described here on the basis of several well-preserved specimens showing peculiar characters in the bones of the skull roof, parasphenoid, bones of the cheek and opercular apparatus. Other specimens from this new fauna are also described; they are referred to Progyrolepis heyleri Poplin, 1999, also known in the Bourbon-l’Archambault Basin, and Aeduella cf. blainvillei, which is relatively common in the Permian of France. These discoveries show the importance of the Brive Basin which was previously considered as a rather barren basin in term of palaeontology. This new fauna from Brive is compared with the other Permian ichthyofaunas from France: it is less rich in terms of specimen numbers than the faunas of Bourbon-l’Archambault and Autun, but it is more diversified in terms of number of taxa than the faunas of Lodève and L’Argentière (Ardêche). These actinopterygians, together with other aquatic vertebrates (e.g., acanthodians, sharks etc.), were widespread and diversified in the Hercynian Mountain Chain during the Permian. They indicate that the French basins were connected in time and space. The wide distribution of these aquatic taxa may have been favoured by numerous hydric systems (lakes, rivers etc.) which were well developed under the tropical climate.
The Fur Formation, a late Paleocene ash-bearing diatomite from northern Denmark
Authors: Pedersen G. K. , Surlyk F.
Published: December 2021

The Fur Formation (new) is here erected as a formal lithostratigraphical unit. It is a marine diatomite with numerous layers of volcanic ash, and has previously been referred to as "Moler" or the "Mo-clay Forma­tion". The formation is of late Paleocene age and the Paleocene-Eocene boundary is located within a hiatus between the Fur Formation and the overlying Knudshoved Member of the R0snres Clay. The Fur Formation is subdivided into a lower Knudeklint Member and an upper Silstrup Member. The sedimen­tary facies, ichnocoenoses and areal distribution of the formation are described as the basis for an interpretation of the depositional environment.
Sedimentology, biostratinomy, and palaeoecology of an Upper Jurassic offshore sand bar complex
Authors: Fursich Franz Theodor , Heinberg Claus
Published: December 2021

The Aldinger Elv Member (Upper Oxfordian) of Milne Land, East Greenland, is a wedge-shaped sand body up to 90 m thick, intercalated between silty shales. The combination of sedimentological, biostrati­nomic and palaeoecological data allows a detailed reconstruction of the morphology, genesis, and palaeogeography of the bar complex. Sedimentary structures, macrobenthos and trace fossils exhibit a zonation across the sand body. The well-sorted fine-grained sands exhibit sedimentary structures, biotur­bation and numerous shell beds. Three macrobenthic associations and four ichnocoenoses are distin­guished. The former occur in situ as well as in various stages of reworking. Convex-upward shell pave­ments were formed by currents, while unsorted shell beds were generated by storms.
The sand wedge is interpreted as a shallow offshore sand complex separated from the shore by a broad swale and supplied with sediment from the north along a shoal which extended southwards, while the coastline was deflected in a southwesterly direction by a slow transgression.
U, Th and K in Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments in Denmark
Authors: Jensen Michael EngelI , Korsbech Uffe , Madsen Finn Engstrøm
Published: December 2021

The paper presents the results of the measurements of the equivalent equilibrium concentrations of the radioactive elements uranium, thorium, and potassium in about 500 samples of Danish sedimentary rocks from Campanian to Miocene. The results are presented as cross-plots in which each sample has been marked according to its pairwise contents of the radioactive elements. The selected presentation of the results may form a basis of a lithostratigraphical interpretation of the SNG-Iog (Spectral Natural Gamma• ray log) which is a borehole measurement of the equivalent equilibrium concentration of U, Th, and K in the present formations. Some types of sediments contain distinct concentrations of uranium, thorium, and potassium and could easily be identified from a SNG-log. For other sediments the identification cannot be based on the cross-plots alone, but other information has to be included. A SNG-Iog from a borehole penetrating 55 meters of Danian calcarenite is presented as an example of the use of the SNG-log for stratigraphical subdivision and correlation in sediments where other methods would be difficult and time consuming to perform.
Preliminary palynostratigraphy of the Permiart -Lower Triassic sediments in Jameson Land and Scoresby Land, East Greenland
Authors: Piasecki Stefan
Published: December 2021

The presumed Carboniferous, Permian and Lower Triassic sediments of Jameson Land and Scoresby Land, have been palynologically investigated. Four main assemblages are recognised which form the basis for a coarse stratigraphy. The Lower Permian Potonieisporites assemblage occurs in all palynologically productive fine-grained sediments from the Gurreholm Dai and the Mesters Vig Formations. The lowermost part of these sediments in Skeldal may be of latest Carboniferous age. An Upper Permian Vittatina assemblage characterises the lower part of the Foldvik Creek Formation. An Upper Permian / Lower Triassic Protohaploxypinus assemblage occurs in the upper part of the Foldvik Creek Formation. The Lower Triassic Wordie Creek Formation contains a Taeniaesporites assemblage.
The preliminary investigation suggests a gradual change in the palynoflora. This again points to presence of a complete or almost complete sedimentary transitional sequence from the Upper Permian to the Lower Triassic.

Published: December 2021

The essence of life insurance, its features and advantages in comparison with other kinds of insurance is considered. Influence of changes of insurance payments on change of level of payments is analyzed and the interrelation between insurance premiums and insurance payments is found out. The forecast for 2021–2023 on insurance premiums and payments accordingly is constructed. In connection with this, the study of the life insurance market in Ukraine and the identification of the main problems of its development is currently quite relevant. Life insurance plays an important role in ensuring security and social stability in the country. Considering the economic essence of life insurance, it should be noted its feature, which is a combination of properties of insurance protection and savings. In this regard, in the general insurance market of the country, its structural segment has specific features in defining the basic concepts of insurance risk and insured event. Yes, insurance risk is based on the unpredictability of the event. The brake on the development of the life insurance market in Ukraine is that the capitalization and financial condition of the vast majority of insurance companies is unsatisfactory and does not ensure their competitiveness even in the domestic market. The limited amount and imperfect structure of financial savings of most insurers prevent them from becoming an effective institution of social protection and investment in the Ukrainian economy. Among the inhibiting factors should also be noted the limited investment activities of insurers. It is defined the basic problems that hinder the development of life insurance in Ukraine.

Authors: YEMELIANOV Oleksandr , MYSHCHYSHYN Olha , SYMAK Anastasiia
Published: December 2021

Introduction. Improving the society's well-being and the income of businesses in border regions should be based, inter alia, on the benefits of their geographical location. One of the most effective ways to realize these benefits is the formation of cross-border cluster structures. However, the formation of cross-border clusters and their further development are difficult processes, the course of which is possible only under certain conditions. Specifying these conditions is an important step in developing a general strategy for cross-border cooperation and finding ways to intensify it on the basis of building cross-border cluster structures. Particularly, the necessary conditions for the formation and development of cross-border clusters are proper organizational and infrastructural support of these processes.
The purpose of the paper is to determine the composition and to specify the features of organizational and infrastructural support of the formation and economic development of cross-border cluster structures.
Results. The concept of economic development of a cross-border cluster was interpreted. The main stages of this development were identified. The creating model of the potential for cross-border cluster formation was presented. The main system components for ensuring the realization of this potential were identified. The grouping of creating ways of cross-border cluster structures was carried out. The processes sequence of formation and development of cross- border clusters has been offered. The main subjects of infrastructural processes that ensure formation and development of cross-border cluster structures were identified.
Conclusions. The study showed that a necessary condition for the formation and development of cross-border clusters is the potential for these processes. There should also be a system to ensure the implementation of this potential, which consists of subsystems of organizational, infrastructural, methodological and regulatory support for the formation and development of cross-border cluster structures. There are some relationships between these four subsystems. Particularly, the infrastructural support of these processes largely determines the level of their organizational support. The obtained results can be used in the strategies development for socio-economic development of the border regions of Ukraine.

Authors: ZIANKO Vitalii , NECHYPORENKO Tetiana
Published: December 2021

The paper is devoted to the implementation of regional budget policy in Ukraine. The main vectors of budget policy development as a component of socio-economic policy at the local level are highlighted. Within the framework of the declared budget policy, the peculiarities of the formation and functioning of local (regional) budgets are considered. The interpretation of the definitions of "budget" and "policy" is presented, and the author's definition of the essence of the budget policy of the region is offered. The conceptual dominants of budget policy, the implementation of which takes place through the budget mechanism, are studied. It is proved that budget policy is an important lever of influence and a real reflection of the tactics and strategy of public authorities and local governments in the budget sphere. It is substantiated that the effectiveness of the implementation of regional budget policy directly depends on the sequence of steps aimed at increasing the level of competitiveness of the regions and overcoming the existing regional disparities. On the basis of generalization of thematic researches and practice the offers concerning application of levers of budgetary regulation which define a level of efficiency of budgetary policy of region are formulated. It is stated that the content of the budget policy of the region should be to determine the course, tasks and activities of the state and local governments in the field of formation and use of budget funds. Full implementation of the budget policy of the region stimulates the functioning of economic activity of administrative-territorial units, promotes rational budget planning, as well as the effective filling, distribution and use of local financial resources.

Авторы статьи рассматривают такой способ повышения мотивации будущих педагогов, как педагогическая стажировка, на примере многолетнего опыта участия в зарубежной педагогической стажировке одного из региональных вузов.
В статье кратко представлены результаты анкетирования 42 студентов, обучавшихся на педагогических специальностях и направлениях Псковского государственного университета и участвовавших в зарубежной педагогической стажировке в разные годы, начиная с 1991 года.
Обобщенные результаты исследования могут послужить ориентирами в процессе теоретической разработки и дальнейшего практического внедрения в учебный процесс такой формы профессиональной подготовки будущих педагогов, как зарубежная педагогическая стажировка в онлайн-формате с целью повышения их мотивации к будущей педагогической деятельности.

В статье рассматривается актуальная проблема формирования готовности кадет к осознанному выбору военной профессии в условиях кадетского образования.
Анализ отчетов о результатах самообследования федеральных государственных казенных общеобразовательных учреждений кадетского типа за 2019 и 2020 годы показал, что количество кадет-выпускников, поступивших в военные вузы, невысоко, а оставшихся после первого года обучения в военном вузе — с каждым годом снижается по причине их низкой адаптации и самоопределенности в дальнейшей военной службе. Все это актуализирует проблему формирования готовности кадет к осознанному выбору военной профессии в условиях кадетского образования.
В статье приводятся результаты анализа психолого-педагогической литературы, позволившего авторам выявить сущность, содержание и структуру готовности к деятельности в целом и готовности кадет к осознанному выбору военной профессии в частности.
Дается авторское определение готовности кадет к осознанному выбору военной профессии как интегративного качества личности, которое включает в себя положительную установку, целостную систему ценностно-ориентированных, когнитивных, эмоционально-волевых, операционно-поведенческих характеристик личности, способствующих осознанному выбору военной профессии.
Описываются педагогические условия формирования данной готовности, критерии и показатели ее сформированности с учетом специфики подготовки кадет в образовательных учреждениях кадетского типа.
По мнению авторов, обобщенные результаты данного исследования могут послужить некоторыми ориентирами в организации индивидуализированной и дифференцированной профориентационной работы с кадетами.

The article treats a relevant issue of ensuring cadets’ readiness to make a conscious choice of a military career.
The analysis of cadets’ self-assessment that was held in federal military schools in 2019-2020 shows that the number of cadets who apply to military universities is rather low and the number of students who drop out of a military university after their first year is constantly increasing, which can be explained by cadets’ low readiness to make a conscious choice of a military career.
The article defines cadets’ readiness to make a conscious choice of a military career as the entirety of personality traits and positive guidelines, a comprehensive system of values, and a comprehensive system of cognitive, emotional, volitional and behavioural characteristics which enable one to make a conscious choice of a military career.
The article describes educational conditions that serve as a prerequisite for the formation of cadets’ readiness to make such a choice. It analyzes criteria that can be used to assess whether cadets are ready to make a conscious choice.
The authors believe that the results of the research can be used as guidelines for individual and differentiated instruction of cadets.

Training Russian entrepreneurs capable of generating the innovative approaches to the implementation of national and federal projects is an important task for increasing the efficiency of the economic system in the foreseeable future. Teaching entrepreneurship in secondary school and the development of entrepreneurial competencies among schoolchildren, starting from grades 6-7 in Russian secondary schools, is a necessary stage in achieving that goal. The authors have analyzed the current experience and the first results of the implementation of the pilot educational project “Small Academy of Economics, Finance and Law” that was implemented by the teachers of the Institute of Social and Humanitarian Education of the Moscow State Pedagogical University in early 2020. The target audience of this project was school students of grades 7-9 of educational institutions of secondary education in Moscow. The article reveals some didactic aspects of the entrepreneurial education and promising directions for improving the process of teaching entrepreneurship, taking into account the specifics and capabilities of secondary schools. The main methods used in the present study were methods of observation, conversation, synthesis, expert assessment. As a result of the analysis of the experience of teaching entrepreneurship in secondary school conclusions about the advisability of using the system-activity approach and contextual approach to organizing the cognitive activity of the school students were drawn by authors. To improve the educational process the authors have proposed to develop a standard program of entrepreneurship for the extra-time activities for educational organizations of secondary education and educational guidelines for teachers and schoolchildren. The article emphasizes that the experience of that project should be replicated as part of the interaction of universities and educational organizations of secondary education in all subjects of the Russian Federation.

The article provides a substantiation of a model for diagnosing a propensity and aptitude for doing business, which is based on the functional theory of entrepreneurship. The content of any entrepreneur’s activity is based on an entrepreneurial resource, with the help of which business owners gain competitive advantages. By becoming effective participants in business processes, they must ensure and maintain the effectiveness and competitiveness of their business; be able to establish business communications for the organization of production and sale of goods; provide services and perform the necessary work related to labor functions. However, the uniqueness of an entrepreneur’s activity lies in the fact that in this profession, an entrepreneurial resource is combined with natural entrepreneurship, which, under equal conditions for doing business, will allow a person not only to be financially successful, but also to use his personal potential as efficiently as possible. The authors proceed from the hypothesis of natural entrepreneurship, which underlies any business. A diagnostic test has been developed that allows at the early stages of career guidance to determine the integral meaning of entrepreneurship, including cognitive, motivational and emotional-volitional prerequisites for doing business. The authors, using the method of expert assessment, identified parameters that are professionally significant characteristics and satisfy the functions of business, reflect the personal qualities and tendencies of people to engage in entrepreneurship differentiate schoolchildren by the parameter “entrepreneurship” in the early stages of career guidance. And also, they allow diagnosing the most important personal characteristics, that determining the entrepreneurial professionalization of schoolchildren in the process of teaching entrepreneurship.

The article is devoted to the internal context dependence of the training courses studied under the entrepreneurship program in the bachelor’s degree. Unlike other approaches, the authors extend the context dependence to any training courses included in the training program. Approaches to the study of the management cycle of training courses by future entrepreneurs are analyzed. Using the example of structuring the content of the training course “Human Resource Management”, it is shown how the training program should be oriented to form the general professional competencies necessary for graduates to have a successful career in entrepreneurship. The article has practical significance, since the developed approach to teaching disciplines was successfully used in real business in competitive conditions, as well as theoretical significance, due to the contribution of the conclusions obtained in the article to the development of scientific ideas about the place of entrepreneurship in the educational process and the connection with the taught disciplines of the management cycle with the training of future entrepreneurs. The use of this article can also help educational organizations, including universities and colleges, to develop educational programs in which the content of management disciplines would be focused on teaching entrepreneurship as a profession. What has already been implemented in the practice of the Synergy University.
