This paper considers the methodological aspects of forming a development strategy for the regional socioeconomic system (by the example of radio-electronic enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan). The paper suggests a conceptual scheme of the macro- and micro-factors' influence on the regional socioeconomic system. This scheme is based on the study of the market power of enterprise's contact persons (suppliers, competitors, and consumers) and subjects that have an indirect impact (government, markets, financial institutions, insurance companies, etc.). It has a hierarchic structure and allows coordinating the terms of cooperation for different elements of the socioeconomic system. The paper builds a formation algorithm for the manufacturing program of radio-electronic enterprises. A peculiar feature of this algorithm is its focus on involving resources of the enterprise's external environment on terms that are acceptable to an economic entity. The paper also suggests stages of the development strategy for the regional socioeconomic system that are based on the principles of lean production, which assume the determination and market substantiation of the regional resource intensity limit of separate productions. This allows plotting an evolutionary vector for the transformation of the socioeconomic system into an adaptive structure with such properties as self-organization and self-regulation.

Dressing skill is one of the necessary self-care skills that is taught to individuals with autism in order for them to be able to live independently. Typically, developing individuals can acquire dressing skill on their own; however, children with autism have difficulties in learning such skill without systematic teaching. Thus, teaching dressing skill should be one of the basic aims of educational service. To this end, this study investigated the effect of most-to-least prompting procedure on dressing skill of students with autism. Three students with autism aged 8, 10 and 11 participated in the study. Multiple probe design across subjects was used to assess the effects of most-to-least prompting on teaching the target dressing skill. The dependent variable of the research is the level of dressing coat with zip and the independent variable is the individual teaching program based on most-to-least prompting method. First, in order to determine the target skill, skill check lists were prepared. Taking the chosen target skill into consideration, individual teaching programs were prepared. Measurement tool was prepared so that the beginning, teaching, observation and generalization of the data can be collected and related to chosen target skill of the students. During the instruction, full physical prompting, partial physical prompting, verbal prompting and independent performance techniques were used. The results of the study revealed that most-to-least prompting was effective on teaching dressing skill of students with autism and also generalized the skill for different places and people.

The fact that there is no much study on reversibility is one of reason this study was conducted. Others, the importance of reversibility is also being researcher's motivation for focusing pupils' reversibility. On the other hand, the concern on pupils' reversibility is a major concern. The objective of this research is to identify errors done by the pupils in solving arithmetic problems related to reversibility concept. The result of this study can inspire teachers to consider the problem-solving in minimizing errors which must be done by the pupils in solving other arithmetic errors. The result of this study can be used as a reference in designing further learning and tasks for student's reversibility development. This research is qualitative with descriptive approach. The subjects of this research are fifth grade pupils of three Elementary Schools in Jombang, Indonesia. Researcher gave arithmetic task related to reversibility concept to the research subject. The pupils' worksheet was analyzed by calculating a number of pupils who did error for each arithmetic item. Then, it was classified to groups which were based on the error types done by the pupils. Furthermore, the researcher described error types done by the pupils related to Roberts, namely wrong operation, obvious computation error, defective algorithm, and random response. This case proved that there are some elementary school pupils who are still having difficulty in solving arithmetic problems related to reversibility concept.

Worldwide, women representation in management and leadership positions is marginal. Despite immense academic advancement by women, few of them do advance to management positions. In Kenya, women make up a critical portion of human resource base. However, they are grossly underrepresented at leadership positions. This situation is reflected in school leadership positions as well, including headship of schools. Unless the gender gaps in management and leadership positions are addressed, the talent of high skilled women would be underutilized and there might be a reproduction of gender inequality across generations. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors hindering the deployment of female teachers to headship positions in public primary schools. The main objective of this study was to establish the extent to which the two-thirds gender policy was being applied in deployment of female teachers to headship positions. This study was conducted in Nambale Sub-county. Descriptive survey design was used in this study. Out of a study population of 519 respondents comprising 45 head teachers, 45 deputy head teachers, 427 teachers drawn from 45 public primary schools in Nambale Sub-County, the District Education Officer (DEO) and District Quality Assurance and Standard Officer (DQASO), stratified sampling technique was employed to select 35 head teachers, 35 deputy head teachers and 196 teachers. Saturated sampling was used to select the DEO and the DQASO. Therefore, a sample size of 268 respondents, representing 52% of the study population was used in this study. Questionnaires, interview schedule guide and document analysis guide were used as instruments of data collection. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. Findings from the study revealed that the Ministry of Education provided for equal opportunities in terms of deployment but the two-thirds gender policy was not applied in deployment of teachers to school headship. Based on these findings, the study proposed that the Teachers Service Commission should come up with clear and precise deployment policies expressed in writing so that their compliance can easily be checked and the Ministry of Education should design a mechanism for implementing the two-thirds gender policy in deployment of teachers to headship positions.
