EQUIVALENT CIRCUITS OF HIGH-VOLTAGE SYNCHRONOUS TURBO-MOTORS FOR CALCULATION OF NONSINUSOIDAL MODES OF POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
Abstract
The article considers the non-sinusoidal modes of power supply systems with powerful high-voltage synchronous turbo-motors. Powerful high-voltage synchronous turbo-motors of industrial enterprises designed to drive pumps, compressors, superchargers and other high-speed machines are generally referred to the first category electrical consumers and, when connected directly to the electrical power network, are considered to be the most sensitive to the non-sinusoidal modes of a power supply system, as in the conditions of the supply voltage quality deterioration the loss of their static and dynamic stability can occur. The authors considered the original equivalent circuit of high-voltage synchronous turbo-motors along the longitudinal and transverse axes within the synchronous steady state condition. On the equivalent circuit a real three-phase stator winding of a motor is represented as the system of two orthogonal rotating loops - longitudinal and transverse, and a solid cylindrical rotor – as an excitation winding circuit, longitudinal and transverse damper circuits. The article gives the equivalent circuit of high-voltage synchronous turbo-motors for higher harmonics along the longitudinal and transverse axes, which additionally includes the increase in active and inductive resistance of stator and rotor at high frequencies, and the slip of n-th harmonic of a rotating magnetic field. The authors obtained the analytical expressions for determination of the parameters of the equivalent circuit of high-voltage synchronous-turbo motors when calculating non-sinusoidal modes of power supply system. The expressions obtained for the average equivalent complex resistance of synchronous turbo-motors for the n-th harmonic allow to determine the higher harmonics currents that occur in the stator windings, and assess their unfavorable effect on the condition of retaining of simultaneous steady-state mode within non-sinusoidal power supply system modes.
MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FREQUENCY-REGULATED INDUCTION DRIVE
Abstract
The authors offer the procedure of calculation and development of mechanical characteristics of a frequency-regulated induction drive using a standard MATLAB program. Using the basis equivalent circuit of induction motor and per unit equations the authors developed the scripts of the static mechanical characteristics, which are a convenient tool of automation and visualization of the process of designing of electric drive which consists of the motor, the transformer and the transistor converter. The article gives the examples of scripts and the diagrams of mechanical characteristics for various frequency control scalar laws. It is revealed, that research of mechanical characteristics using the developed scripts allows to study the interrelations between parameters of the induction drive, kinds and parameters of frequency regulation, and also to observe the frontier of the induction motor working at certain values of supply voltage and frequency. The article shows that the development of mechanical characteristics using ready scripts allows to estimate quickly the static parameters of speed control quality under various control laws and compare the received results to parameters of the load mechanism. Besides, the authors noted that, using the received diagrams, it is possible to check promptly the conditions of realization of frequency regulation with IR-compensation, and to do without time loss the conclusions about the acceptability of u/f control for a designed drive or the necessity of vector regulation choice. Thus, offered technique of mechanical characteristics development based on the scripts application promotes the improvement of research visibility, and the optimal conditions development for the analysis of static operating modes and the selection of a type of control of the designed frequency-regulated induction drive.
ASSESSMENT OF RELEVANCE OF AIR-INDEPENDENT PROPULSATION POWER PLANTS DEVELOPMENT AND CONVENTIONAL SUBMARINES EXPORT POTENTIAL
Abstract
Great demand for naval engineering and for submarines in particular results from the increased strife in some regions of the world; and it requires the development of modern naval forces ensuring the appropriate level of a state security. Submarines are one of the components of naval forces of developed countries. Today, only three countries in the world – the USA, France and England – turned away completely from the arming of their fleets with the conventional submarines; moreover France offers conventional submarines for export. Other countries carry out active development of conventional submarines both with “classic” diesel-propulsation power plant and different variants of air-independent propulsation power plants. In this connection, the efficiency of conventional submarines use in coastal and close maritime zones reached the level (or even overcomes) of nuclear-powered submarines. The development and introduction of air-independent propulsation power plants allowing to increase greatly the underwater range became one of the key factors of success.
Over the 1945 to 1991 period, the USSR and Germany were the main countries-exporters of submarines; Italian companies supplied mostly super-small submarines, and a number of countries also exported retired submarines. Today, the competition between the main manufacturers of conventional submarines ratchets up sharply.
The article gives the review of international conventional submarines market, presents the main companies-developers, manufacturers and countries-importers of submarines.
THE APPLICATION OF INTEGRATED INDICATORS OF THE OPERATOR’S SUITABILITY WHILE MAKING UP WAGONS INTO A TRAIN
Abstract
The article discusses the possibility of reducing operational costs ways exhalations for processing molasses cars through the development of support systems decision making by operational staff in the formation of a train of cars of different operators and the proposed method of data selection operators. There were analyzed the routes of the cars in the ways exhalations about six hundred fifteen thousand cars, established relationships, factors affecting key economic indicators and the cost of processing the stream of cars on the tracks exhalations.
The authors proposed to estimate the operators of rolling stock forming part of a train on the tracks exhalations on three main criteria: cost, speed, quality. For each indicator identified quantitative and qualitative factors affecting the changes in them as composed of a matrix of pair wise comparisons and defined the normalized vectors of priorities matrix for these indicators. The influence of these factors in the developed model the choice of rolling stock operators for paths exhalations were made using the theory of fuzzy sets. For each factor were identified its possible values, built membership function, reflecting the degree of preference of these factors.
For further task - forming composition of the trains on the tracks exhalations cars of different operators are encouraged to develop software that will calculate the increase or decrease in operating costs depending on the performance of the rolling stock operators in the current time. This product should help control apparatus to determine the number and name of the rolling stock operators for each train in a reasonable time.
INVESTIGATION OF METHOD OF COMPENSATING FOR ABNORMAL HARMONIC DOUBLE-BRIDGE CONVERTER WITH PARAMETRIC UNBALANCED
Abstract
The article deals with the problem of compensation abnormal current and voltage harmonics caused by the asymmetry parameter switching circuits of multi-bridge converter. Unlike circuit inductance switching between phases and individual gating bridges of multi-bridge converter (for example, when using transformers with a compound Gate windings star, triangle, zigzag or triangle with the continuation of the parties) is really appreciable asymmetry, leading to the appearance of the input current and output voltage harmonics disturbance not peculiar to the idealized mode. The conditions to minimize the disturbance of the rectified voltage harmonics caused by inequality inductive loop resistance switching two series-connected rectifier bridges twelve-converter by artificially introduced asymmetry in the corners of the control, and evaluate the effectiveness of technical implementation.
The dependencies that determine the condition of minimizing disturbance harmonics of the output voltage and input current twelve-converter circuits caused by inequality circuits switching valve bridge.
A relationship makes it possible to control multi-bridge converter by introducing correction in the corners of the control valve of the bridge, which reduces the level of harmonic disturbances in the output voltage and input current twelve-converter due to the asymmetry parameter circuit switching valve of individual bridges.
Payment abnormal harmonics caused by the asymmetry parameter, can be accomplished by the introduction of the control system further channel converter that adjusts the angles of the control valve bridge, realizing the condition of minimization.
The simplicity and efficiency of the test method is sufficient compensation on the basis of the signal correction angle control valve bridges through the use of the most accessible technical implementation parameters as feedback signals determine the appropriateness of its use in the equivalent circuit of the converter for different purposes and can improve their electromagnetic compatibility with the supply system.
THE STAND FOR CAR SUSPENSION BUMPER TEST
Abstract
Described in the article stand was developed and constructed at the Department of Vehicle Design and Operation of Togliatti State University. It was created within the frames of the students’ research work.
The authors described the stand design, measuring equipment used stand operation, and the principles of its work.
This stand allows to define operating charts of car suspension bumpers of various types (for this purpose the stand is equipped with a special adjusting device to vary suspension bumper overall length dimension and the stroke of piston) allowing to evaluate their operating capacity. The authors present the techniques for defining of suspension bumpers characteristics – the dependence of rebound and compression resistance on the piston stroke speed against the cylinder walls.
The piston stroke speed against the cylinder walls is calculated using the formulas taken from the engine theory and allowing to calculate the parameters of crank and connecting-rod assembly of a heat internal combustion engine. The force of resistance to the suspension bumper piston movement passes through a piston driver to a strain-gage sensor registering resulting force.
Using the suspension bumper characteristics received while processing test data, the authors determined the rebound and compression resistance coefficients, and then used them in vehicle math models for the study of ride comfort and road holding.
The developed and constructed stand for the car suspension bumper tests will allow to cut time necessary for design of suspension up dated according to the safety of traffic and ride comfort. At the same time, this stand can be used while studying the course units “Vehicle theory” and “Vehicle tests” during the academic activities at the Department of Vehicle Design and Operation.
THE INFLUENCE OF OPERATING MODES OF 6DSP-40 ARC STEEL-MAKING FURNACE ON THE LEVEL OF HARMONIC VOLTAGE COMPONENTS AT THE ELECTRICAL NETWORK CONNECTION POINT
Abstract
The article gives the results of experimental studies on the influence of 6DSP-40 arc steel-making furnace on the distortion of a voltage sine wave at the connection point of the furnace to the mains. The authors give the detailed description of the process of metal melting and electric mode kept during the melting process. The determination of the number of voltage harmonic components was carried out by the AR.5M analyzer of electric power quantity and quality produced by Spanish firm «Circutor». The authors considered the influence of the arc steel-making furnace (ASF) mode on the value of total voltage harmonic components at the point of connection of the ASF to the mains. The article presents the results of experimental investigations of harmonic voltage at the 10 kV busbars of MSDS feeding 6DSP-40 with the capacity of 15 MVA at Sk = 282 MVA. The experiment showed that the total of harmonic voltage components reaches the maximum values during the process of wells melt-through. The authors carried out the inspection of conformance of the voltage harmonic components and the total voltage harmonic components to the GOST 32144-2013 standard. The inspection was carried out using the PowerVision software delivered with the electro-analyzer. It is found that the excess of limit values (c. 4.2.4.1 of GOST 32144-2013 standard, enumeration b) occurs on twenty of twenty nine harmonic components where the measurements were carried out. Within the spectrum of the voltage harmonic components the 5th, the 3rd and the 2nd harmonic components have the highest values. The maximum value of total coefficient of voltage harmonic components does not exceed 8% established by the standard for this voltage class.
ON THE ISSUE OF RELATIONSHIP OF TURBULENT VELOCITY OF SPREADING AND IONIZATION OF METHANE-HYDROGEN FLAME
Abstract
The authors proved the application of a new alternative fuel - hythane (mixture of methane and hydrogen) in transport and stationary installations. The experiments showed that for determining of the optimal composition of proposed fuel for different engine operating modes it is necessary to know its influence on the combustion process. For this purpose the characteristics of turbulent premixed flame of methane and hydrogen were investigated. The experiments conducted in a piston engine with spark ignition showed that the turbulent flame velocity determined by the translational motion of the flame front depending on the air-fuel mixture turbulence and kinetics of the burning chemical reactions. The experiment showed the increase of ionization current of methane-hydrogen flame with increasing intensity of its turbulence achieved by increasing the engine shaft rotation speed and mass fraction of carbon in fuel mixture due to the changes in the hydrogen concentration and excess air ratio. The experiment results were explained on the basis of modern combustion theory concepts. According to the research results the authors developed a new empirical-calculated method for determination of the turbulent velocity of methane-hydrogen flame propagation by means of ionization sensor indications. The comparison of flame propagation velocities found experimentally and calculated by means of proposed method revealed the 5% difference when burning poor and stoichiometric fuel mixtures, while the combustion of rich mixture showed the difference up to 10%. This fact confirms the feasibility of using this method at the stage of design of gas-piston internal combustion engine.
THE RESEARCH OF EMERGENCY MODES OF THE SEMICONDUCTING COMPENSATOR
Abstract
The article covers the study of emergency situations in the work of semiconducting compensator. The authors considered potential impact of emergency situations, determined the main emergency modes that may arise in the system "industrial supply mains - static semiconducting compensator - load", and showed the basic ways of prediction of system behavior under the emergency conditions and boundary conditions close to the emergency. A single-phase power supply of contact AC machine for spot welding used in the automotive industry when manufacturing the body parts in mechanical engineering is considered to be an example of electro-process load in the system. The authors performed a simulation modeling in the Matlab Simulink system. The article presents and describes the diagram of electrical system computer model, describes mathematical expressions for calculation of compensating current. The authors give the simulation results in the form of flow diagrams in the absence of compensation, in normal operation of compensating device, and in emergency modes: short-circuit in the load, short-circuit in the semiconducting switch of the compensator voltage inverter, at idle load, and at no-load of inverter switch of compensator voltage. The article presents the ways of protection of compensator and its load in such modes, and makes the conclusions about the possibility of their processing using the facilities of compensator management system. The authors prove the necessity of joint use of such traditional protection facilities as circuit breakers under the conditions of short-circuit in the load. The article describes possible behavior of the control system of compensating device for safe processing of short-circuit of one inverter voltage switch, as well as the modes of no-load or compensator switch.

RESOURCE COMPONENT OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF A MODERN ORGANIZATION
Abstract
Market economy pays great attention to the innovations. The competitive advantages of an enterprise, market opportunities and operating efficiency depend considerably on the innovative activity of an enterprise. To perform innovative activity a modern enterprise should possess necessary resources and opportunities. Literature on economics uses the concept “innovative capacity”. At the same time, this category does not have exact interpretation, and it causes certain discussions. The article studies theoretical approaches to the definition of the “innovative capacity” category. Certain sources, while studying the understanding of innovative capacity essence, concern resource approach according to which the innovative capacity is considered to be the complex of various types of resources ensuring the implementation of innovative development of business objects. The article defined that to achieve innovative development a modern enterprise should possess basic resources, such as: human, intellectual, information and knowledge, technology, energy, capital assets, material and finance. Development and creation of innovative products improve the competitive advantages of an enterprise, allow to win new markets, expand the potential customers base, and improve own financial results. To estimate if an enterprise is able to perform innovative development it is necessary to know whether it possesses innovative resources. As a result of the study, the concept of “innovative capacity” and “innovative resources” are specified. To our opinion, the innovative capacity of a modern enterprise is a complex of resources, reserves and opportunities allowing to perform innovative activity, achieve the innovative goals, and improve the performance ratio. The resources ensuring innovative development of an enterprise can be represented by the innovative resources.

Analysis of a new paradigm of management has allowed the authors to highlight its main features: positioning the company as an "open" system, which operates in unity with the internal and external environment; recognition of the main purpose of product quality and customer satisfaction rather than growth of production; adaptability to environment; value growth of specialists who possess knowledge; enhancing the role of organizational culture and employee motivation. The article suggests classification of modern management concepts: general management concept, the concept of production management and sales staff management concept, the concept of financial management, the concept of information management. Based on the research objectives of application, effect, problems and limitations of the presented concepts, the basic principles of management have been identified, such as customer orientation, the leading role of quality, the use of the process approach and others. The relevance of the application of the controlling in the enterprise is proved in the article. The authors propose a model of controlling as a modern management concept which allows to integrate and to coordinate all of its elements. The main objectives of controlling system are defined as support of strategy development, management orientation to the specified target, crisis prevention. Objects of controlling are the functional areas of the company. The subject of controlling is the service which activity is based on the principles of modern management concepts. The article describes the functions of controlling: information, planning, monitoring, analytical, control, integration, and coordination. The authors propose instruments of controlling which should ensure the achievement of the objectives of the enterprise. As a result of the research, it is proved that the proposed system of controlling has the basic features of modern management concepts. The developed model will allow to launch the formation of an effective controlling system in the enterprise on the basis of a new management paradigm.

ALTERNATIVES OF DEVELOPMENT OF SOUTHERN RUSSIA IN THE CONDITIONS OF CHANGES OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEMS
Abstract
The issue of stable functioning and development of macroregional socio-economic systems in order to create the paradigm of effective management is rather important now, especially in the context of changing institutional environment. The stable functioning and development suppose simultaneous solution of different and to a large extent contradictive issues of economic growth keeping and increasing the social standard of living, primarily from the point of view of social problems solution.
North Caucasian and Southern Federal Districts have definite potential for effective functioning and development. However, by now, natural advantages are undeveloped as the Southern macroregion of Russia still does not have the investment attractiveness due to the unstable economic and socio-political situation. Search for solutions in this sphere concerns primarily governmental authorities and local-government authorities, as well as the state and private companies. The development of the effective methods and tools for evaluation of functioning and development stability allows to give accurate estimates to the level of stability that is rather essential managerial information source. SWOT-analysis based on the comparison of weak and strong spots of a macroregion, and the risks and opportunities of its development is one of such tools.
LEGAL SCIENCE AND LEGAL SYSTEM OF THE SOCIETY
Abstract
The article is representing the correlation of legal science and legal system of the society. Legal doctrine exists together with the system of law. Relation with legal science distinguishes the family of civil law. The schools of law are developed in the legal families of Islamic and Hindu law. They are dealing with glossography of the law sources. Renewal of the content of legal doctrine takes place in Russia. This research is facing three tasks. First of all, concepts of legal science and legal system should to be defined. Secondly, it is necessary to show the influence of legal science on the development of legal system of the society. Finally, it is important to find out demonstrations of legal science in functions of legal system. The author gives examples of development of modern and medieval legal systems (Byzantium). The subject of investigation is related to the role of legal science in evolution and functioning of the legal system. The author considers conceptions of legal science and legal system. Legal science exists at the various stages of social development; it stimulates development of legal system. Renewal of legal science is possible even in the situation of regressive development of legal system. In ancient times it was closely related to mythology and religion. Legal science reveals itself in the internal and external aspects of the integrative function of legal system of the society. On the one hand, it provides integrity of the legal system. On the other hand, legal science is related to interaction of legal systems. It also has influence on implementation of regulatory and protective functions of the legal system. Investigations in the area of criminal law, criminology, and criminalistics are related to protective function of the legal system.
THE LEXICAL PECULIARITIES OF THE GULATDYNSKY SUBDIALECT
Abstract
This article examines lexical peculiarities of the Guladtynsky subdialect of the Sirkhin dialect of the Darginian language, which belongs to the Nakhsk- Daghestanian subgroup of languages of the Indo-European branch, based on large quantities of factual material. The author has carried out a comparative characteristics of the literary language lexis and the major groups of dialectisms of the subdialect under study. Phonetic and morphological principles of the dialectal Guladtynsky lexis formation, its difference from common Darginian words in regular sound correspondences and processes in the system of vocalism and consonantism have been defined. A group of lexical and semantic dialectisms that are an integral part of the subdialect has been singled out. The author emphasizes that there are also loanwords from the Arabic, Russian, Iranian, Turkic, and other languages in the vocabulary of the Guladtynsky subdialect. Characteristic features of the formation of some groups of dialectisms have been revealed during the research, for instance, the presence of long vowels that the researchers used to consider not corresponding to the Darginian language, its dialects, and subdialects. As a result, it can be stated that actually Guladtynsky lexis appeared in the period of isolated existence of the subdialect. Lexical neologisms played an important role in its formation. They appeared on the basis of the primordial and borrowed vocabulary by means of affixation, disintegration of the words meaning. The author gives a brief characteristic of lexical peculiarities of the Guladtynsky subdialect, the study of which is nowadays relevant not only because it contributes to the accumulation of rich factual materials for comparative phonetics and morphology of the Darginian language and helps to clarify some facts of its historic development, but it also considerably enriches lexis of the Darginian literary language.
LEGAL LIABILITY IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AS THE INTERDISCIPLINARY LAW INSTITUTION
Abstract
The article considers the concept of law institution as the law system element, and the types of legal liability classifications. Legal liability is a type of law institution; in this connection such concepts as law institution, law system and legislative system are disclosed in the article. After studying the distinctive features of law system and law institution the author proceeds to consider the grounds for legal liability classification, after which the nature of legal liability as the interdisciplinary law institution is considered. Legal liability in intellectual property is analyzed as the interdisciplinary law institution. Defense of intellectual property rights is carried out within the frames of protective legal relationship, which is oriented to the regain of legal order in the sphere of intellectual property; in this connection the measures of civil, administrative or criminal liability are implemented. The author considers the types and the measures of civil liability in the sphere of intellectual property, as well as the types of administrative law and criminal liability in this area. Except general methods of civil rights defense in the event of violation of moral rights or the author’s exclusive rights the article discusses the special requirements: regarding the publication of court decision on the law violation, as well as the requirement for the confiscation of physical media in case of violation of the exclusive rights of the author. In addition, the article discusses such methods of copyrights defense, as the confiscation and the destruction of equipment and materials used for civil rights violation, and the liquidation after demand of the prosecutor of a legal entity, repeatedly or seriously violating the exclusive rights.
RUSSIAN CINEMATOGRAPHY OF NEP PERIOD IN THE TERMS OF STATE AND PARTY CONSTRUCTION
Abstract
The article shows the main trends in development of cinematography as the area of public administration. The work traces the features of transition of film production and distribution of films from the "military communism" to the NEP and from the NEP to the formation of administrative-command system. The author comments on the basic government acts regulating the film industry, as well as V.I. Lenin's documents and statements about the screen art. The paper presents an analytical review of the majour actions of the Communist Party of the Soviet government in the area of the screen art, and evaluation of the sociological situation around the screen art in the mid 20-ies of the previous century. The work reveals some biographical facts of great masters of the screen, in one way or another connected with the political situation in the Russian Federation and later in the Soviet Union. Some real facts and evidence help to trace the development of democratic institutions in the movie; it recalls the activities of the "Labour Union of Revolutionary Cinematography" and "Society of Soviet Cinema Friends". Other feature of that time is expressed through the fact that the fate of the "tenth muse" was affected by such prominent Bolsheviks as V.I. Lenin, F.E. Dzerzhinsky, Y.E. Rudzutak, N.K. Krupskaya and others. Special attention is given to the decisions of the Party Congresses, the decision of the Central Committee of the RCP(B) "About Party Policy in Literature", debates and resolutions of the Party meetings about the cinema. All these acts form the social climate around screen art within the NEP period.
Break with the pre-revolutionary cinematography takes place not only in the ideological area but also in the development of industrial methods of the twentieth century. On the one hand, authority of RSFSR People's commissariat for education was not enough for the screen art; on the other hand, cinematography got poorly accustomed to the cinema department of Supreme Economic Council, which considered the movie industry as only one of the sources of financial gain, or in the best case – the form of industrial propaganda.
At the present time, the most relevant model is the model of cinema transition from government regulation to the market and then return to the non-market economy. To some extent, similar evolution takes place in nowadays cinematography and other screen arts.
TO THE QUESTION OF ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT RESERVES IN THE CONDITIONS OF MODERN RUSSIA
Abstract
The article focuses on the study of theoretical aspects of a manufacturing enterprise reserves management. The author examines the concept of production reserves both as an economic category and as an object of management. The article is based on theoretical and methodological aspects of research of enterprise development reserves developed by famous scientists. The author analyses and specifies these data, as well as provides the author’s definition of the category of reserves, pays attention to how they differ from inventories and resources, and defines their importance for ensuring the enterprise development. Moreover, a classification of the reserves diversity based on a number of characteristics is described for their complex and purposeful search aimed at the development of a reserve management system. The theoretical aspects of efficient development of the system of production reserves management in the conditions of modern Russia are studied in detail. The author specified and supplemented the reserves management system of a manufacturing enterprise. The author believes that the availability of the production reserves system at an enterprise not only ensures a guaranty for its economic sustainability, but also requires the development of the balanced indicators system for the usage of these reserves and application of strategic planning for successful formation of this system at the enterprise. The complexity and resource-consuming character of this process is emphasized. In particular, management of the production reserves system starts with the assessment of potential productive capacity of the reserve to achieve the objectives within the framework of the chosen strategy, which makes it necessary to carry out a critical analysis of all the production systems in order to explore the reserves and to develop the system of the productive reserves measurement and assessment.
SPECIAL ASPECTS OF LEGAL CONTROL OF LIABILITY OF CONVICTED JUVENILES WHO MALICIOUSLY EVADE FROM SERVING PUNISHMENT, NOT CONNECTED WITH THE ISOLATION FROM SOCIETY
Abstract
When executing sentences, not associated with the isolation of prisoners from society, a number of difficulties occur due to the special aspects of imposition of punishment on a convicted juvenile. One of the problems is the uncertainty in the issue of application of the institute of substitution of unserved part of punishment without isolation from the society with the deprivation of liberty for convicted juveniles carried out a crime of little or medium gravity for the first time aged up to sixteen years, as well as for other convicted juvenile carried out a crime of little gravity for the first time, and maliciously evading from serving a court-appointed punishment. In respect of convicts maliciously evading from serving punishment not associated with the isolation from society, the present-day Russian criminal legislation provides the substitution of the unserved part of punishment with the deprivation of liberty. In such cases, the law does not place any objections for such actions. However, the Russian Federation Supreme Court Plenum in its decree dated 01.02.2011 №1 "On the judicial practice of application of legislation regulating the special aspects of criminal liability and punishment for minors" came to a conclusion on the non-application of the institute of substitution of the unserved part of punishment with the deprivation of liberty for juvenile convicted who cannot be custodial sentenced, according to the provisions of part 6 of article 88 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation. In accordance with this explanation the court does not apply the substitution of unserved part of punishment with the liberty deprivation, despite the repeated facts of malicious evasion, as well as the gross violation of order and the conditions of service of sentence, and the enforcement actions against the reported delinquents are exhausted on the part of the criminal-executive inspection. And the Russian Federation legislation does not provide any other forms of liability of convicted. In fact, this situation means the failure to perform the elected by the court criminal punishment without imprisonment in relation to juvenile convicted maliciously evading punishment specified in paragraph 6 of article 88 of the Russian Federation criminal code. The level of repeated criminality of maliciously evading punishment convicted juveniles who cannot be custodial sentenced, and the court denied the satisfaction of the criminal-executive inspection filing petition for the substitution of punishment without imprisonment with the more grave penalty, exceeded in 2013 the national average number of reported delinquents under 18 years more than in 5 times. Therefore, the substitution of the punishment with the deprivation of liberty for this category of convicted became the preventive measure of repeated criminality.
NOUNS – NAMES OF A PERSON IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY: PROBLEM OF COMPREHENSIVE LEXICOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
Abstract
This article deals with the problem of the comprehensive lexicographic description of modern names of a person. It describes the main dictionaries of names of a person in Russian, determines some aspects of the description of the mentioned nominations. In national linguistics there are only a few lexicographic publications which give linguistic description of the name of a person. Among them are the following most representative ones: “Explanatory dictionary of the names of women. More than 7 000 entries” by Kolesnikov N.P.; “Russian naming of inhabitants. Dictionary-reference book” by Gorodetskaya I.L. and Levashov E.A.; and “New persons in labor market: dictionary-reference book” by Isaeva N.V. Each of these dictionaries describes a special topic group of the names of a person. The first two dictionaries present nominations in the context of their stylistic sphere of application. The dictionary-reference bok by Isaeva N.V. includes 424 words and word combinations designating new names of persons in relation with their professions or jobs (in several cases apart from semantic characteristics some synonymic variants, origin and peculiarities of spelling are given). The dictionary-reference book by Zaitseva E.A. “Names of a person in the Russian language of the beginning of the XXI century” describes more than 1 200 nouns –names of a person which are actively used in Russian at the beginning of the XXI century, including about 300 absolutely new names of a person which have been mentioned for the first time in the lexicographic practice. The dictionary offers a comprehensive description of names of a person in the Russian language of the beginning of the XXI century: definitions of words are given, examples of usage in quotations and expressions are shown, and pages of the newest dictionaries which contain these nouns are noted. If necessary, some structural meanings, etymological references, stylistic level, detailed description of the word-building pattern and its morphemic structure are provided. Some peculiarities of pronunciation and spelling are also explained. Moreover, this dictionary has references to synonymic or interchangeable nominations.
CONNECTING VOWELS (INTERFIXES) IN FORMATION OF COMPOUND NAMES OF A PERSON
Abstract
The Russian language at the beginning of the XXI century is characterized by a great number of compound nouns – names of a person. These nouns are specified by a variety of structural and semantic features. This article describes the use of connecting vowels (interfixes) in formation of compound nouns – the names of a person as well as principle of morpheme structure description. The data corpus for research is taken from “Explanatory dictionary of the Russian language of the beginning of the XXI century. Current vocabulary” by G.N. Sklyarevskaya and from the dictionary-reference book “The name of the person in the Russian language of the beginning of XXI century” by E.A. Zaitzeva. Connecting vowels (interfixes) within a compound noun are a kind of ‘cohesive links’ that join together two parts of the compound and make the grammatical meaning of the first morpheme more neutral. As a rule, linking vowels (interfixes) -o-,-e- are used in formation of compound nouns – the names of a person. In other cases (of “zero” interfixes) connecting vowels can’t be formally pronounced. The usage of “zero” interfixes has increased in contemporary Russian word-formation due to foreign components such as shop-, tour-, show- and the other. The article considers compound names of a person formed according to various word-building models. Contemporary linguistics cannot describe morphemic and word-building structure of compound names of a person with such components as video-, porno-, radio-, tele-, etc. Some linguists call them abbreviated morphemes or abbromorphemes, other consider them to be prefixoids, and the third group insists on calling them analytic adjectives. Thus, several arguable points connected with interpretation of morphemic structure of compound names of the person are discussed in the article.
DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL GOVERNMENT IN THE FRG IN THE 1960s – MIDDLE 1970s
Abstract
The article studies the process of social development of the state in the FRG in the 1960s – mid 1970-s during the period of achieving the limits of its growth. The concept “social government” is associated with social-political and social-economic system of a number of highly developed states of the world, first of all West-European, that secure the highest level of social wellbeing for their citizens. One of such models is the Federal Republic of Germany where for the first time in the world constitutional practice a social government as a political and state-legal institution has been established (art. 20 and 28 of the General Law). Interrelation between the process of ideology and practice of social government establishment in the FRG in the given period of time has been researched, and approaches of various social-political forces towards the model of social-state development have been analyzed. The author draws particular attention to the reasons that caused the fact that the system of the population social protection – generally formalized in the period of German “economic miracle” of the 1950s and more developed in the following decades – have been extending and expanding, becoming a heavy burden for such a powerful economic organism as the economy of the Federative Republic. The article presents natural conclusions about overload of the FRG with social commitments which impede stable and progressive development of German economy, and that it is a serious social-economic and political problem of consolidated Germany.
ASTRAKHAN GUEST COURTS AT THE END OF XVIII – FIRST HALF OF XIX AS A FORM OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP OF PERSIAN MERCHANTS
Abstract
Foreign trade of the Russian Empire with Asian countries was of a seasonal nature throughout its history. Starting from the end of November and up to the beginning of March, the navigation ceased due to winter conditions. Merchants who originated from Central Asia, Transcaucasia and Iran were the main agents of this trade. Frequently, they did not manage to complete their operations by the end of the navigation and had to spend the winter in Astrakhan.
On the other hand, Asian merchants did not have a guarantee that the merchandise they brought to Astrakhan would find its customer within a limited time frame even during the navigation period. There were necessary customs formalities and a quarantine to keep. While staying in the city for an indefinite period, the eastern merchants had to look for accommodation and facilities for storage of their goods and retail trade. The construction of Guest courts was funded by the state treasury and started as early as 16th century in order to meet these needs.
Starting from the early 18th century, the guest courts (a type of shopping arcades) appeared on the ethnoconfessional basis. Groups of tradespeople joined based on their national origin, which was also reflected in the names of the courts: Indian, Russian, Arminian, Gilaki, Bokharan and others.
By the end of the 18th century, the guest courts served mainly for storage of goods and small-scale retail trading of Persian and Uzbek merchants. Unlike Uzbek merchants, Persian tradespeople had substantial capital that allowed them to turn the guest courts into one of the most profitable parts of their interests in Astrakhan.
The article offers the description of the process of establishment and development of this entrepreneurial activity sphere of Persian entrepreneurship in Astrakhan in the first half of the 19th century based on the analysis of a wide range of archive sources.
PREREVOLUTIONARY HISTORIOGRAPHY OF AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
Abstract
Some prerevolutionary researchers considered popularization of scientific and agrarian knowledge to be a way of modernization of agriculture and an alternative to the radical solution of an agrarian question. The first thorough works devoted to this problem appeared during the post-reform period, the authors being the officials of the agrarian department and activists of scientific organizations. The peak of interest in agropromotion fell on the beginning of the XX century which is justified by the fact that agricultural education became the major trend of the Stolypin 's reforms. Prerevolutionary publications contain valuable information on participation in agronomical projects not only of the government (V.V. Morachevsky's work), but also of other educational entities: zemstvos (works of A.A. Kaufman, G.A. Sazonov, B. Veselovsky); agricultural societies (A. Sovetov's article); experimental institutions (works of D.N. Pryanishnikov, A.G. Doyarenko, V.V. Viner) and private individuals. The period under discussion gave rise to researches devoted to certain forms of agricultural education (researches of V.V. Schneider, M. Puzanov, I. Meshchersky). Questions of rationalization of agriculture became central in works of representatives of the organizational and production trend. Works of scientists were noteworthy for their analytical component, while works of county agronomists were remarkable for providing applied aspects of work with peasants. It was practical workers such as V.A. Vladimirsky, A.A. Zubrilin, P.D. Kopytov, Yu.Ye. Makarenko, A.V. Teytel, S.P. Fridolin and others who saw the problems within county peasant community. The history of agricultural education is supplemented by works about agrarian education by A.G. Nebolsin, N.P. Moskalsky, I.N. Miklashevsky.
The scientist and the agronomist I.A. Stebut was the first pre-revolutionary author who identified the historical conditionality of agricultural education, proved its role in modernization of agrarian production.
LABOUR IMMIGRATION IN DYNAMICS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION’S NATIONAL ECONOMIC PROGRESS: MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS AND BASIC INDICATORS
Abstract
The last three decades have been marked by the fall of the "Iron Curtain”, the European Union expansion, transition to higher levels of intercontinental integration. They have tested and continued to challenge the effectiveness of migration regimes of the Old World countries, formulating a new set of economic, social, cultural and political character challenges. In this connection, the range of problems that are covered by the study of the regularities underlying the international labor migration in the European Union, the social, economic and cultural transformations caused by reorientation of regional migration flows in the second half of the twentieth century, as well as the EU expansion, are relevant and timely both for the European countries and for Russia, which has already faced an acute need to develop a common migration strategy of actively integrating EurAsEC and the Custom Union member countries.
The article is oriented to determine the major trends of migration dynamics in the EU-28 countries based on assessment of the macroeconomic impact of immigration in statics and dynamics (2000-2013). The following indicators have been considered as the basic conditions of European migration dynamics: traditional indicators (dynamics of GDP, unemployment, population size) and synthetic, aggregated indicators (labor productivity, dynamics of economic development in case of the absence of labor immigration, economic importance of labor immigration, and so on). The migration trends were further analyzed for the European Union countries (+ Turkey) in general and by groups of the EU countries according to their geographical location (North, West, Central and Southern Europe) and the level of economic development (EU-6, EU-10, EU-15, EU-27 countries).
The conclusions made by the author of the article allow to determine a number of patterns in the EU migration processes, which set the conditions and principles for the regional migration policy modernization in the future.
IMPORT SUBSTITUTION AND TECHNOLOGICAL MODERNIZATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES ON THE BASIS OF CLUSTER INTERACTION
Abstract
Restructuring of the economic model of the country’s development and transition to the import substitution of technologies using domestic sources for growth is only possible through enhancing innovation. The article emphasizes the issue of the necessity to strengthen interindustry cooperation between engineering and construction companies on the basis of cluster development model. Sectoral programmes and development strategies are not mostly focused on the innovative development of the construction and machine-building complexes, as well as the questions of stimulation of cooperation processes and integration prospects for the development of industries. Development of the regional construction cluster contributes to the formation of the innovation system in the construction industry.
The article analyzes the operating building clusters of the Russian Federation (Ural construction cluster (Sverdlovsk region), Inter-regional research and production cluster (Saratov region), International cluster of wooden construction and woodworking (Vologda region), Cluster of building materials industry and construction on the territory of Samara region and the Cluster of composite building materials in Lipetsk region). The author defines their characteristics, objectives, and principles of formation, as well as competitive advantages of the clusters and problems of implementation of cluster initiatives. The conclusion is that the functioning construction clusters are focused on the purchase of progressive foreign technologies, and only two clusters (Saratov and Lipetsk regions) have planned strategies for the development of new products for the construction market and conducting their own research and development activity. It is noted that the implementation of such a strategy can lead to achieving the goal of reducing dependence on import substitution of the construction industry from foreign machinery and equipment.
ON THE STUDY OF THE INTUITIVE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF SYSTEMACY IN RUSSIAN PROVERBS
Abstract
The article represents a piece of research aimed at the study of linguistic representation of the concept SYSTEM in a historical perspective and its modern state. Significance of the work is characterized by the chosen object and the subject of the research that assumes application of cognitive approach to the linguistic means which reflect the ways of comprehension of the objective reality main categories. Fundamental character of this category is considered as an implication for its understanding even before defining a scientific system theory, and that makes the research of a range of ordinary knowledge about the world systemacy on these languages interesting. To solve this task an attempt is made on the material of Russian proverbs to identify and analyze linguistically objectified intuitive systematic views as a result of the conceptualization of the ontological category «system» by national consciousness. To choose the factual evidence, the author has considered the value of paramiological linguistic pool on terms of the number of national world perception elements. Special attention is focused on a complex of naive knowledge about the system; this knowledge is involved in the formation of the inner form and the general meaning of paremiological units. With the use of semantic and conceptual analyses, a set of pre-scientific conceptual characteristics of the concept SYSTEM is established. Some groups of typical motivating situations are distinguished, on the background of which the comprehension of system properties takes place. The role of the anthropocentric factor is specified which determines profiling of system features in the process of stereotyping of practically significant patterns of behavior and relationships between people, fragments of domestic life and patterns of the natural environment.
QUALITY OF SERVICES AND PROCESS OF THEIR PROVISION: SYSTEM OF THE REQUIREMENTS, PROBLEMS OF MANAGEMENT
Abstract
The quality of the services and process of their provision remains one of the key problems in the scope of enterprises development in the service sector. In the situation of intensification of competition for customers, enterprises of the service sector strive to constant growth of services quality on the base of efficient management of the services provision process. The purpose of the study is to systematize and define the requirements applied to quality of the services and process of their provision; identification of the main problems of management of the services provision process at the enterprises of the service sector, and presentation of the possible ways to solve them. Methodological base of the work is represented by general scientific methods: analysis, induction and deduction, empirical generalization, and study of the cause-and-effect relationship. The range of the dominant requirements applied to quality of the services provision process is determined by strategic conceptions of enterprises in the service sector, constant attention of senior management to quality of the services and process of their provision, establishing of high standards, tendency and reaching full satisfaction of producers and consumers of the services. The work reveals main problems of management of the services provision process, which are conditioned by difficulty of determination of consumers’ satisfaction level, absence of personal interest of the service providers in the course of their working practice, insufficiency of the creative potential, high dynamic of information flow, financial difficulties. In order to solve the identified problems a few variants are offered to improve quality of the services provision process and management activity of enterprises in the service sector; the ways to modernizations of traditional management of the services provision process are shown. Practical importance of the work makes certain contribution to increasing the efficiency of management activity of enterprises in the service sector. The area of application of the received results of the study is represented by the possibility of the use for the future theoretical and practical development that provide qualitative development of management of the services provision process at the enterprises in the service sector.
SOVIET-ISRAEL RELATIONS IN THE EARLY 1950s: THE CONTRADICTIONS OF ZIONIST AND COMMUNIST IDEOLOGIES
Abstract
The article analyses the development of Soviet-Israel relations in the specified period against the background of American-Israel rapprochement. The research of Soviet-Israel relations of the beginning period arouses the definite scientific interest. The article studies various factors that influenced the dynamics of relations between Israel and the USSR. As the determinant factors we should mention the attitude of Israel towards the US regional military-political initiatives, the problem of recovery of former Russian Empire’s property in Palestine, and the raised by Israel question about the status of Jewish people in the USSR and their immigration. Particular attention is given to the factor of anti-Soviet and anti-Zionist propaganda in the relations of these two states. The author considers the problem of confrontation of Zionist and Communist ideologies, and particularly in the context of personal attitude of Soviet leaders towards Zionism as the leading state and political ideology of Israel and the position of Israel Government in relation to the socialist system. The analysis of various Soviet and Israel diplomatic materials revealed that the relations between the USSR and Israel in this period represented the contradictory growing trend: from the formation of friendly sympathy to the gradual cooldown and the diplomatic break. The foreign policy orientation of Israel played the key role in the height of inter-block opposition.
The foreign policy “strategy of non-identification” with none of the blocks proclaimed by Israel at the beginning had a declarative, absolutely formal nature. Political Bureau of the CPSU recognized Israel as the betrayer of socialism interests: Israel began the rapprochement with Washington and shifted the attitude of neutrality in the face of the bipolar confrontation.

METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF EFFICIENCY GROWTH OF MUNICIPAL FINANCE MANAGEMENT
Abstract
The article describes topical issues of improving the efficiency of the municipal finance management on the example of socio-economic development of Kamchatskiy Krai. The most important task of financial policy at the present stage of economic relations is the effective use of budgetary funds and quality management of public and municipal finance. The subjects of the Russian Federation are concerned with the development and practical application of different methodological approaches which facilitate, in distribution of government financial support, to evaluate the efficiency of local authorities’ activity, based on the result of the increased revenue base. That is why special funds are formed with the budget, aimed at different target stimulus.
The abovementioned evidence for the introduction of evaluation criteria that determine the dynamics of the expansion of the tax base for taxation of physical persons’ property and land tax, as well as describing the work with assets, including land and property, in particular the creation of a database and accounting of municipal property.
Municipalities, without prejudice to the size and quality of the services provided to the population free of charge, can reconsider the establishment of jobs to attract additional financial resources by municipal institutions under the jurisdiction of local authorities. Within the method for improving efficiency of the municipal finances management one should use as a basis the inclusion of dynamics indicators of the tax base development for a single tax levied in connection with the application of the simplified taxation system and the dynamics of the tax base development for the single tax on imputed income for certain types of activities.
The calculation of the performance indicators of the tax base for the single tax allows you to monitor the effectiveness of municipal finance management at the regional and municipal levels. The mentioned technique facilitates the formation of public finances, effectiveness of the decisions of administrative authorities, provision with monitoring information as a result of performance activity, encouragement of efficient use of municipal property, building up and increasing their own revenue base and budget income taking into account weighing coefficients for distribution of stimulating part of the foundation’s financial support.
THE CONCEPT AND TYPES OF TROUBLED LOANS AND SPECIAL ASPECTS OF THEIR VALUATION BASE
Abstract
The relevance of the issue chosen for the study is coming from the processes of today taking place in banking sector, and especially the growth of troubled loans in general structure of assets of the Russian commercial banks. As a result, banks face the pressing need of evaluation and value-based management of the troubled loans. The resolution of this issue is the most significant in the environment of increasing critical circumstances in the economy and banking sector in general. These critical circumstances are caused by the imposing of international economic sanctions against Russia and the price cut for energy supplies. The concept of the troubled loan was frequently considered in details in the materials of the Russian economists. The author gives her own concept of a troubled loan based on comparison and collation of various authors’ opinions. This concept in full details reveals the essence of a troubled loan as one of the cost factors of a commercial bank. The article describes the operations which form the basis of bank activity, and emphasizes special function of credit operations in commercial banks. The article presents key categories of commercial banks troubled loans from the point of view of Russian economists. The author considered the existing in foreign practice approaches to the concept of the definition “troubled loan”. To define the relations between the concepts of the troubled loan and the valuation base of a commercial bank the author studied the basic approaches (income, cost and comparison approaches) to the cost estimate of the troubled loans and the existing variety of its methods, and considered the advantages and disadvantages of each specified approach from the point of view of their application.
SPIRITUALITY AS THE BASIS FOR THE RUSSIAN BUSINESS CULTURE
Abstract
The article covers the study of business culture as the environment for development of cultural and moral foundations of business, and the determination of characteristics of cultural and moral grounds for business activity in Russian philosophy. The author carried out the analysis of national stereotype of business behaviour and business philosophy. Cultural and moral foundations being the base element of social consciousness of a business entity is the subject for study. The goal of research is the social and philosophy analysis of cultural and moral system of values of business activity being carried out in the environment of social and cultural changes in modern Russia, understanding of the place of business in business culture of the country. It is possible to consider the following statements as the research results that have the features of novelty: 1) the author systematized the ideas of Russian thinkers concerning the issue of dialectic of moral and business spheres of the society that allows to insist on the necessity of their introduction into the modern business culture; 2) the author gives her own understanding of business and economic culture where: a) business culture is positioned as the organic part of traditional national culture; b) the synonymy of the notions of “business culture” and “economic culture” is excluded. To reveal the specific characteristic of such notion as “business culture” the author used axiological approach. The analysis of the national stereotype of business behaviour and business philosophy showed that the following characteristics can be considered as the basic values of Russian business culture: love, goodness, primary moral data (Vl. Soloviev) (shame; sorrow; piety, or superior adoration), positive freedom (freedom “for”) (N.A. Berdyaev, S.N. Bulgakov, S.L. Frank), national unity, common ideal, labour, non-acquisitiveness, service, equity, asceticism, altruism, and pragmatism. The results obtained can be used in the practice of management of cultural, moral, and economic processes in the context of today’s Russia, and for determination of prospective lines of development of business culture. The research materials can be also used for the courses of history of culture, philosophy and business history.
THE ROLE OF MINISTRY OF JUSTICE IN THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND PENITANTIARY STATISTICS IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE (1802-1864)
Abstract
The article analyzes the experience of the Ministry of justice on the systematic collection of statistical data on its main business lines (the administration of the court system, the investigators apparatus, and the rule-making activity), including the activity reflecting the state of crime in the Russian Empire in the early 19th century. These data were the important source on the history of crime in pre-revolutionary Russia, and the so-called moral and criminal statistics; they expressed numerically the activity of justice institutions and the state of crime in the Empire and had the substantial significance for the surveillance of the Ministry of justice over the activity of the gubernial anti-crime judicial authorities in order to determine its prevalence and to take the appropriate actions. The Ministry of justice identified and implemented the system of statistical study of a range of issues, which were subsequently included in the range of penitentiary statistics problems - the number of people remained in custody, the number of prison population, and the penitentiary regime characteristics. It is important that the Ministry of justice and the scientific community start to recognize not only the significance of statistics as the form of reporting of judicial institutions of the Russian Empire about their activities, but also its importance in the selection of means of crime prevention. Besides their practical significance the report indicators served as one of the most important sources for the study of crime in the Empire. Along other sources the report indicators of the Ministry of justice of the Russian Empire were the base for a series of research works on criminal statistics at that time, that summarizing and studying the official materials, came to certain conclusions about the causes of crime and the measures of crime prevention.

THE FORMATION OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF THE STUDENTS – FUTURE TRANSLATORS IN THE SPHERE OF SPECIAL TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION USING THE EDUCATIONAL FRENCH-RUSSIAN AUTOMOBILE THESAURUS
Abstract
The article covers special aspects of thesaurus methods of forming of professional competence of the students-linguists – future translators in the sphere of special technical communication in the field of machine engineering.
The article addresses the issue of relevancy of development of new effective methods of training of linguists-translators to a competent professional translation of technical texts from French into Russian, and vice versa. For comparison the author analyses the existing methods of training to technical texts translation of such authors as Yu.V. Sapozhnikov, N.V. Vladimova, D.A. Alferova, and M. Philipenko; none of these techniques today does not have the most optimal method of forming of competence of future translators in technical sphere.
The author describes her own thesaurus technique of forming professional competence of the students – future translators in the sphere of special technical communication the main objective of which is the forming, development and consolidation of students’ skills of technical written translation from French into Russian and vice versa, and the ability to overcome typical lexico-grammatic and genre-stylistic translation difficulties. The author describes her own French-Russian automobile thesaurus developed on the basis of analysis of French technical texts aimed at the optimization of the process of training to translation activity and teaching students to work with technical terms.
Besides that, the author describes the special exercises system consisting of three sections, which helps the students to develop competence necessary for a professional translator.
INTEGRATIVE ROLE OF TECHNICAL WORK METHODOLOGY IN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
Abstract
Teaching of technical creativity methodology is studied in two aspects – competence-based and methodical. In the course of training technical creativity, first of all, future engineers acquire ability to create new technical solutions, and secondly, they are provided with more thorough comprehensibility of the main subjects of an educational program.
Ability to reveal and solve technical and physical contradictions and on this base to develop progressive technical solutions in the studied area is the cornerstone of creative competence formation. A special algorithm is developed for identification of contradictions. Contradictions are resolved by means of certain methods. The most effective for the solution of technical tasks in the field of mechanical engineering technology are such methods as: division of contradictions in time and in space, material-field analysis, including that one performed on the basis of use of physical effects and the phenomena, empirical rules of conflicts resolution.
The methodical aspect is that studying of main disciplines can be carried out at three levels: informational – when ready technical solutions are given, optimization – when parameters of the studied object are optimized in the given solutions, and creative – when subjectively new decisions are created in the course of studying the material. Studying of material at the creative level promotes development of student’s independence in thinking which facilitates deeper comprehensibility of material.
When studying the main subjects, the specified approaches are applied not necessarily in pure form. Practice has shown that the most interesting, considered and effective technical solutions are found through application of both creative and optimization approaches because creative approach allows to receive basic technical solution, and optimization – to design its particular implementation corresponding to the preset conditions, for example, in the term paper and final project.
The goal of the article is to show that training of technical creative work methodology forms the ability to create new technical solutions at the level of inventions and facilitates students’ comprehensibility of the contents of the main subjects.
TRANSFORMATION OF VALUABLE ORIENTATIONS OF THE SUBJECT OF INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY
Abstract
The article reveals the character of value attitude transformation of the innovation activity subject in the context of its psychological and pedagogical follow-up. For this purpose a special programme of targeted psychological and pedagogical interaction has been used in the dyad “psychologist-innovator” as well as psychodiagnostic techniques for research of a personality according to the following methods: “Diagnostics of social and psychological attitudes of a personality in motivational and need sphere” (O.F. Potiomkina); “Life-purpose orientations” adapted by D.A. Leontiev; “Motivation towards success” (T. Ehlers).
The psychologist’s activity within the programme of trainings of targeted psychological and pedagogical interaction has been organized with the account of the following principles: humanism, confidentiality, competence, and responsibility. The programme has been developed for the managers of educational institutions (age: 30-45 years), number of people – 20, classes once per week for 40-60 minutes long, total – 10 hours.
In the structure of the trainings various forms and techniques have been used, such as discussion, pair work, small group work, psychological game, visualization, situational role-playing, and projective methods for diagnostics of emotional sphere.
As a result, the authors have been able to alter the testees’ attitudes towards altruism, orientation to monetary reward and commitment to labour and freedom. The number of the managers with a low level of motivation towards success decreased twice; an average medium high level of manifestation of motivation towards success has increased, and the extremely high level decreased. Stability of life-purpose orientations of the managers has changed (high and medium levels have become more apparent and frequent; low level has become less evident). To prove the significance of differences, mathematical processing of the data has been made according to T-criterion of Wilcoxon. The performed research confirmed the tendency of change in value attitudes of the innovation activity subject.
HUMANIZATION AND HUMANITARIZATION OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS AT A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION
Abstract
The article offers an analysis of the younger generation spiritual and moral values formation in the educational space of a higher education institution, the interconnection of universal and nationally marked cultural values, ethnopedagogization of a higher education institution, its humanitarization and humanization as the major and most important form of spirituality revival.
The article deals with the issue of the importance of introducing young people to cultural traditions and values of the nation, summarizes the existing pedagogical experience in introduction of fundamental national humanistic ideas and values, covers the relevance and importance of the ethnocultural component introduction into the education process in a higher education institution, which is conditioned by the modern young people’s alienation from cultural values and traditions of their ancestors that can result in the loss of national self-identification.
The author offers to solve this problem by introducing ideas and traditions that are inherent in a certain culture in the educational process. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the teachers’ ethnopedagogical competence through the system of continuing education. Ethnopedagogical ideas have an impact on the formation of a future teacher’s personality in the conditions of modern society.
Phenomena of humanitarization and humanization of the pedagogical process are examined along with the ethnocultural component. A merger of these components facilitates the most efficient formation of a spiritually and morally developed personality. Humanitarization and humanization allow to form a truly poly-cultural pluralism. At the same time, humanitarization has to be flexible enough to consider the ethnocultural component. The merger of humanistic ideas and humanitarian values and ethnic concepts in the educational process are considered to be the optimal way of spiritual and moral values formation in students of higher education institutions.
MODERN PROBLEMS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF SOCIAL WORKERS IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
Abstract
Importance of the chosen theoretical study depends on the increased requirements to higher schools which implement training of social workers. This fact can be explained by improvement of higher education system, social and economic transformations of modern society and increased requests of the population for social help and support. Closest attention of the government and public to the social sphere becomes more obvious.
Basing on the analysis of legal texts regulating educational activity in the Russian Federation, the authors give definitions to the concepts “Professional education”, “Vocational training”. The article states the objects in professional training of social workers at the university facing the scientific society, teaching staff and representatives of employers. The provided requirements determine pressing problems of professional training by social work in higher education, many of which are not new, but remain still insufficiently developed: e.g. identification of optimum conditions for vocational training of social workers (organizational, pedagogical, social and the other); explanation of specifics of educational process organization when training social workers within the academic and applied bacheloriate; development and strengthening of communication between bacheloriate and magistracy, and expansion of opportunities of transition from a bachelor degree to magistracy; development of practice-oriented training in a higher education institution; introduction and development of the computer training programs and skills allowing to check the level of formation in practical activities of a social worker; practice organization; reduction in curricula for extended practical training.
Today the necessity of complex interaction between educational institutions, representatives of employers, and government institutions in the solution of the problems described is quite urgent.

DIAGNOSTICS OF CREATIVE THINKING DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG SCHOOLCHILDREN IN BOARDING SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
The article deals with description of creative thinking development of young schoolchildren in boarding school environment. The study of creative thinking features was conducted on a homogeneous age and social sample group. 143 school children aged 7-10 were involved in the empiric part of the study. Forty-two pupils (aged 7-10) of boarding school GBSKOU JSC “SKOSHI of 1-2 type” in Astrakhan participated in the main experiment. To receive objective information on creative activities of children, the methods allowing diagnostics of creative thinking development, verbal and nonverbal intelligence, and anxiety level were used. The authors base their assumptions on the notion, that currently national pedagogical theory and practice face a conflict between the objective need for transformations in educational and pedagogical process in modern boarding schools, and insufficiency of existing pedagogical environment for successful development of creative personality. The results of the study revealed that young schoolchildren have minimal level and range of knowledge, low basic intellectual functions (memory and thinking), as well as poor general cultural level. Nonetheless, they show normal ability to identify and classify common characteristics of objects (logical thinking). The authors advance a hypothesis that the organized creative activities will allow the young schoolchildren to balance their levels of verbal and nonverbal intelligence, obtain the skills necessary for active life, and to enhance creative personality development.
