THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGENT-ORIENTED INTELLIGENT TRAINING SYSTEM BASED ON NEURO-FUZZY TAKAGI-SUGENO-KANG SYSTEM

Semenova N.G., Krylov I.B.

Abstract

One of the main requirements to the distributed training systems is the minimal interaction between its components located in various computers; the provision of variations of computer technologies studying. In this respect, the authors proved that the development of intelligent training systems should be based on a syncretical solution of the problems in the sphere of computer technologies and didactics.

This work proved the applicability of agent-oriented approach while developing new generation intelligent training systems that allows to implement specific algorithms of interaction of intelligent training systems separate components in case of the system unspecified algorithm in the whole.

Basing on the analysis of mathematical methods used while developing training systems the authors have chosen the method based on the integration of several mathematical methods, such as neuro-fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno-Kang system. It carries out training using the genetic algorithm.

The authors introduced the methodology of development of functioning algorithms of intelligent agents which includes the following operating actions: the definition of input and output variables; the selection of model for the rule base derivation and formation; the selection of fuzzification function and the definition of training set parameters; the definition of belonging of training set elements to fuzzy rules; the fuzzification layer parameters settings; the conclusion layer parameters settings. The authors developed the functioning algorithm of a subsystem of the intelligent behavior of a correcting agent of individual educational course. The developed algorithm realizes the variations of free choice degree of the learner’s individual educational course depending on the current monitoring results, the solved problems difficulty level and the quantity of prompts given while solving problems. The authors presented the fragments of settings and testing of the developed algorithm.

Basing on the developed algorithm of functioning of subsystem of intelligent agent’s behaviour the authors created the intelligent training system on the discipline “Fundamental management” which efficiency has been proved by the students of Orenburg state university.

SOME ISSUES OF MODELING OF DESIGN TECHNOLOGY OF NEW REACTORS BASED ON THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF MOX-FUEL

Belozerova A.R., Komarova E.S., Melnikov B.F., Pivneva S.V.

Abstract

To the issue of modeling of design technology of new reactors based on the physicochemical properties of MOX-fuel, the authors considered the existing mathematical models for estimation of neutronics and radiation characteristics of the main experimental volumes using the example of the designed fast research reactor. The efficient use of MOX-fuel is achieved when combusting it in fast reactors; and its production is possible by processing irradiated fuel of power reactors. The use of MOX-fuel in existing reactors requires significant alterations (introduction of more control rods), but it will be possible in full in specially designed MBIR reactor. One of the attractive properties of MOX-fuel is that during its production it is possible to dispose the extra amount of weapon grade plutonium, which otherwise would be the radioactive wastes. For central serpentine passage, the authors get the estimations of average and maximum neutron flux density, axial distribution of neutron flux density that is actual for the issue of radiation resistance of the materials used in modern reactor engineering. The design model is developed on the basis of MCU applied software package (MCU-RR2 version) implementing the paradigm of Monte-Carlo method when drawing the traces of neutrons and gamma-quanta in 3D geometry for mutual simulation of neutrons and photons flux functionality in the research nuclear reactors, basing on the estimated nuclear data. 

For vertical experimental channel, the authors determined the dependences of specific induced activity and induced activity of commercial nitrogen gas on the operation time of reactor in order to ensure the cost-effectiveness of the materials used for the cooling of channel supposed for the nuclear doping of silicon. Simulation of the cooling environment activation was carried out by means of mathematical modeling of kinetics of nuclide transformations according to the UPM-PREPRO_2007-FENDL-2.0-ENDF/B-VII.0 software complex, where PREPRO_2007 is the package of utilities for the preprocessing of nuclear data in ENDF/B format.

THE INFLUENCE OF SUPPLY TRANSFORMER DESIGN ON THE TRANSFORMER CORE DC MAGNETIZATION

Vakhnina V.V., Kuznetsov V.N., Kretov D.A., Samolina O.V., Dubinin M.V.

Abstract

The article covers the issues of magnetization of the core for TRDN 63000/110 three-limb core supply transformer and TDT 400000/220 shell-core supply transformer using direct current with the grounded high voltage winding. The authors developed the model of the supply transformer magnetic field in DC magnetization conditions taking into account the electrotechnical and structural steel magnetization curves nonlinearity. The magnetic field modeling in core limbs of supply transformers is performed using the FEMM software by finite-element method. The distribution patterns of magnetic field lines for TRDN 63000/110 and TDT 400000/220 supply transformers were created. The magnetic fields created by DC in the TRDN 63000/110 supply transformer with three-limb magnetic structure cannot complete through transformer magnetic core and replace each other completing partially through the supply transformer trunk and its airspace. The research showed that the supply transformers with shell-core magnetic structure are capable to complete lines of force within the magnetic system that increases considerably the core DC magnetization intensity. The authors built the dependences of average values of magnetic induction in the center cross-section of limbs of magnet on DC value. Obtained dependences make it possible to estimate the influence of direct current on the value of average magnetic induction and the velocity of saturation of the supply transformer magnetic system and to make a conclusion that TRDN 63000/110 supply transformer is subject to the direct current component impact to a lesser extent in comparison with TDT 400000/220 supply transformer due to three-limb design of magnetic system.

THE INFLUENCE OF THERMAL CYCLIC TREATMENT ON THE SERVICE DURABILITY OF WELDED ELEMENTS WITH SOFT INTERLAYER

Dinmukhametova L.S., Poyarkova E.V.

Abstract

The authors studied the influence of structural and mechanical heterogeneity of welded joints on bearing capacity characteristics of high-strength steels of K52 (09G2S and 17G1SU brands), K56 (09G2FB), K66 (10HSND) and K70 (10G2FBYU) grades. The authors identified the topography of mechanical heterogeneity of welded elements having soft interlayers in the welded seam area and (or) the near-weld area, the range of thickness ratio of which varies from 0.6 to 0.8. It is proved that the soft interlayers in the welded joints cause the reduction of strength index up to 30%, and the specific fracture work up to 50%. The influence of mechanical heterogeneity on the resistance to breakage in the result of reaction of aggressive corrosive petroleum products was estimated on the example of environmentat tests of welded elements of connection units. The study showed the corrosion velocity increase and the substantial reduction of plasticity index for the soft interlayer metal (near-weld area) in comparison with the base metal during the whole lifetime.

The significant decline of parameters of fracture toughness during the operating time, which is especially intensively manifested during the first three years of operation, was revealed. The authors estimated the influence of thermal cyclic treatment on the mechanical heterogeneity and the indicators of fracture resistance of welded elements. The quantitative assessment of the influence of thermal treatment on the survivability of welded structure elements as the ability to resist destruction in the presence of damages was fulfilled. The analysis of test results for static and cyclic crack resistance allowed to determine the limiting size of damages and residual life of welded elements, as well as to analyze their changes after the thermal treatment. The transformation of the strain-stress state nature during the thermal cyclic treatment is shown.

Rodionov I.K.

Abstract

The article presents the experimentally obtained information about the peculiarities of operation of steel roof truss strengthened under the load by means of increase of the section of its fixed columns. The truss was made of angle bend bar with the joining of columns to the gasset plates.

The testing was carried out on the testing facility using the existing equipment. The author used the load in the form of panel load to the top-chord. Stresses in the columns and plates were controlled using the loop strength resistance strain gauges. To fix the offsets of strengthened columns and deflections in the whole truss, the strain flexometers were installed.

Non-strengthened structure was tested before the main testing in order to study the operation of truss before the strengthening.

The following main testing was carried out: strengthening of two rising diagonals and two top-chord panels. Angle bend columns with welded joining according to the “box” scheme were used as the elements of strengthening. The welding was carried out manually by stick electrodes. Welding current and voltage were controlled using the clip-on instrument; the welding speed was measured.

The loading was specified according to the accepted while strengthening each column forcing value. One of the rising diagonals was strengthened by the forcing equal to 0,9 of specified bearing capacity, the other columns by the forcing equal to 0,8 of specified value.

The order of joining was according to the theory conclusions: with the initial applying of end continuous seams within the plates and the following weld facing of joining intermitted seams along the length of the element.

Stessel S.A.

Abstract

The article offers a brief analysis of the development of modern parametrical architecture within the conceptual framework of bionic forming. The mechanism of parametrical architecture object creation is explained, based on bionic approach to design as one of the most effective means of an interaction with environment realization, adoption, sustainable development provision. It describes such undeniable advantages as elaborate structural and decorative plastic and high variability of structural and disposal solutions. The article looks into the changes which are connected with the creation of new architectural language by the means of digital modeling tools. This language gives rise to special aesthetics of relaxed form which is free from architectonic regularity, involves jointing and interweaving of internal and external, embodies new architectonic imagery.

Real life buildings and designs are analyzed to illustrate an associative correlation of prototype from nature with its architectural realization. The work demonstrates the ways in which, via functional and ideological analogy with various natural world prototypes, principles of structural forming, material and physical characteristics, decorative and plastic components can be borrowed. It is demonstrated how properties of natural life which are an ideal exemplar and inspiration successfully recreate and develop (evolve) by means of parametric modeling – a powerful tool of modern design which has been actively developing during last decade.

It is proved that the imitation of natural laws and principles, which is the basis for bionic concept can be successfully realized by means of parametric design and a the level of development of modern building technologies and properties of new building materials can guarantee the realization of these projects.

THE DYNAMIC MODEL OF AN ARC FURNACE IN MATLAB (SIMULINK)

Chernenko A.N., Vakhnina V.V., Martynova S.G.

Abstract

The article shows that for creation of electric arc model it is appropriate to use the methods of investigation of electric arc with changing its parameters through time. The comparison of four different models of volt-ampere characteristic of the AC arc in the arc steel furnace showed that three of these four models did not allow obtaining a consistent range of higher harmonics of current and voltage generated by electric arc furnaces. They do not display the inertia of thermal processes during the arc ignition and extinction as a result of which the curves of current and arc voltage in these models differ from the actual furnace arcs oscillograms. To compare the results of the arc voltage-current characteristics modeling against each other and with the results of experimental studies, the model of one phase of electric power supply system with electric arc steel furnace was created in Matlab (Simulink). While calculating the higher harmonics of current and voltage, the equivalent circuit parameters of a furnace transformer and a low-voltage circuit for a DSP-100NZA furnace with a furnace transformer capacity of 50 MVA were used. The authors obtained the diagrams of arc voltage, the voltage on low voltage buses of furnace transformer and the arc current for each model of volt-ampere characteristic. The research showed that more coincidences of the results of harmonic analysis of currents and voltages with experimental data is observed for the VAC model, which takes into account the inertia of thermal processes in the arc and the electrodes.

EMPIRICAL MODEL TO ASSESS NITROGEN OXIDES CONCENTRATION WHEN ADDING HYDROGEN TO THE FUEL-AIR MIXTURE OF SPARK IGNITION ENGINES

Shaikin A.P., Ivashin P.V., Deryachev A.D.

Abstract

The article presents the empirical model to assess nitrogen oxides concentration when adding hydrogen to the fuel-air mixture of piston spark ignition engines. The authors used the results of experiments carried out on the UIT-85 single-cylinder engine. The phenomenon of hydrocarbon flame electrical conduction was used to get the information on the combustion process in the cylinder of experimental engine. On the basis of the moments of ion current origination at the ionization detector electrodes, the authors got the values of velocity of the flame front propagation and the turbulent combustion zone width in the combustion chamber area remote from the ignition spark plug. The article displays the diagrams of dependencies of flame velocity and combustion zone width on the lambda (equivalence ratio) at various rotation rates of a crankshaft and the tempering air quantity in the fuel-air mixture. Using pressure indicator installed in the combustion chamber of experimental engine, the authors got the values of the crank angle based indicated pressure. The article presents the dependence of the combustion master phase duration on the flame propagation velocity and the turbulent combustion zone width. It was shown that the flame characteristics determine considerably the time for the combustion process scenario. The authors carried out the analysis of significant parameters influencing origination of the nitrogen oxides when adding hydrogen to the fuel-air mixture of the spark ignition engines. On the basis of dimensionless number of parameters, an empirical model was developed allowing the assessment of nitrogen oxides concentration when adding hydrogen to the fuel-air mixture and changing the crankshaft rotation frequency and the spark angle in the spark ignition engines. The proposed model allows assessment of the nitrogen oxides concentration during heat calculation of the designed engine.

AN ADVERTISEMENT AS AN OBJECT FOR LINGUISTIC RESEARCH

Zhdanova E.U.

Abstract

The article studies such phenomenon of mass communication as the language of advertisement. The author gives definitions to such concepts as the “language of advertisement”, “text of advertisement”, and makes an attempt to differentiate between these concepts. The article presents a review of Russian and translated foreign literature researching this issue, outlines scientific areas which study advertising. The article describes basic characteristics peculiar for advertisement texts: both linguistic and extra-linguistic. It considers functional characteristics of advertisement text, goals for its creation, and the mission it has – to influence a consumer using various psychological, linguistic, visual (graphic) and other means. The language of advertisement is considered as a specific linguistic structure that develops according to its on laws, breaking sometimes standard norms to emphasize influence on the addressee because it pursues its own non-linguistic objectives. The main communicative aim of an advertisement is to force the consumer to choose the products, goods or services advertised. The article tells about specifics of advertising texts which consists of using both verbal and non-verbal elements regardless of the type of advertisement. Linguistic peculiarities of advertisement texts are studied in the article. The author distinguishes a number of linguistic means used in creation of an advertisement that are grouped as phonetic, lexical, syntactic, morphological, stylistic and the other. The main consideration is given to the use of stylistic and lexical linguistic means. In particular, the paper gives examples of using such linguistic means in advertisements as metaphor, hyperbola, personification, repetition, idiomatic expressions, neologism, jargon, etc.

GERMAN «ECONOMIC MIRACLE» AND SOCIAL-STATE DEVELOPMENT IN FRG IN 1950-S

Ivanchuk D.V.

Abstract

The article describes the basic factors for extensive economic growth in FRG in 1950s as well as the concomitant process of implementation of the entire complex of reforms within the large-scale social policy. The concept “social state” is associated with social-political and social-economic systems of the number of highly developed countries, and first of all West-European ones that have provided their citizens with the highest level of social well-being. One of its standards is Federal Republic of Germany, formed in 1949 on the territory of three German western areas, where for the first time in the world constitutional practice a social state was fixed as political and state-legal establishment (art. 20 and 28 of the Basic Law of the FRG). The work analyses in detail economic and social policy of the Federative Republic at that period, as well as attitude of Conrad Adenauer (country chancellor) and the minister of economy Ludwig Erhard (the known father of the German “economic miracle”) towards peculiarities of their implementation. More over, the paper researches correlation between favourable economic conditions called “economic miracle” and the process of the social state establishment within implementation of neo-liberal conception of social market economy, which was accepted by the ruling bourgeois-democratic coalition as a model of the social and economic development of Western Germany.

The author emphasizes the reasons why the conservative-liberal government carried out extensive social reforms in the Federative Republic of Germany as opposed to other western European countries where social-state establishment was run by the initiative of the social parties that came to power after 1945.

FUNCTIONING OF ADVERBS WITH SEMANTICS OF INSIGNIFICANT FEATURE AS THE EUPHEMISMS IN A LITERARY TEXT

Irismambetova N.A.

Abstract

The article studies and describes the use of adverbs with semantics of insignificant feature as euphemisms in a literary text. Their use is analyzed in five aspects: in aspect of their functioning in language and speech, semantic aspect, morphological aspect, syntactic aspect, and stylistic aspect. The author defines and differentiates the concepts of “euphemism” and “semantic operator”. Adverbs with semantics of insignificant feature in the aspect of a dichotomy "language – speech" as a part of combinations are capable to perform the function of both occasional and usual euphemisms. Not all the words and word collocations which "soften" a negative assessment are euphemisms. Euphemisms have accurate linguistic "borders". Everything that is outside their theme groups can soften the negative assessment of a statement, may have pragmatic value, but is not the euphemism. Adverbs like a little and a few as parts of combinations adjoin the language units as euphemisms possessing a certain morphemic structure: to full and short adjectives, to predicatives with a suffix of incompleteness of expression of a sign -ovat-/-evat-; to expressional ways of verbal action. The adverbs characterizing insignificant features are capable to perform the euphemism function as a part of combination. Adverbs with semantics of insignificant feature as euphemisms are capable to be used in combination with other tropes: meiosis, litotes, and irony.

THE ROLE OF MASS MEDIA IN EXPANSION OF ENGLISH LOAN WORDS INTO RUSSIAN

Kazachenko O.V.

Abstract

The article examines the reasons of penetration of American and English borrowings into the Russian language. It pays special attention to the role of mass media in imposing foreign words alongside with certain behavior patterns that directly affect Russian cultural constants. The author reviews Russian and foreign literature on the study of this issue. Complete lack of motivation of foreign words does not allow native speakers to determine their conceptual field accurately, and because of it, borrowings have "empty" denotations in the minds of the communicants. Alien cultural settings come with foreign words, and that leads to emergence and penetration of new elements with "alien" culture into the native one. Penetration of loan words is regarded both as a positive and a negative process which is the consequence of unreasoned frequent use of English and American loan words, especially in the youth language. New loan words borrowed from another language are entering the vocabulary of the recipient language being certainly the reflection of and a catalyst of change that have occurred and are occurring in lingual-cultural environment and in Russian society, giving new knowledge which leads to the formation of new attitudes, norms, values and morals. There are three ways in which loan words of another language may affect the vocabulary of the language-recipient: borrowing creates an offset to the content of new and old words, leads to disappearance of old words, and saves both the new and old word, but their meanings become specialized. Under the influence of the mass media, assimilation of borrowed words is accelerating, the words are involved in the processes occurring in the Russian language: deideologization of vocabulary, updating words previously located in the scope of concept, transformation of the semantics, as well as active development of the polysemy of certain lexico-semantic groups. In modern society, the role of media and mass communication is huge, so the intentional introduction of foreign words in public speaking is capable of forming a new social value system destroying the system of norms and rules of the Russian traditional culture.

CHARACTERISTICS OF CHARITY WORK IN THE RUSSIAN SOCIETY

Karagodina O.A.

Abstract

The article researches sociocultural features of charity in the Russian society. The Russian charity is a difficult, multicomponent phenomenon that has a long history and traditions. Types and forms of charity had transformed through the centuries: subjects, objects and motives of philanthropy changed. The system of state regulation of this sphere had been transforming during the Russian history. However, the aspects of charity connected with its fundamental bases remain invariable so far. The article studies the phenomenon of the Russian charity in the context of ontological dichotomy "statics-dynamics". Charity remains invariable in its ontological bases, but still undergoes certain transformations. The author analyses fundamental static bases of charity fixed in mentality of the Russian people. Static character is based on the peculiar features of mentality of the Russian superethnos and is reflected in preservation of its main purposes and in stability of socio-cultural tradition to help the most unprotected groups of the population. It is considered to be the foreground area of charitable assistance in all historical practices and all forms of charity. As for dynamic changes of the Russian charity, they have been analyzed in the context of globalization which is considered as an attempt of westernisation of social culture of the Russian superethnos. The author grounds the hypothesis according to which dynamic changes are caused by globalization processes and connected with emergence of new charitable practices of consumer society, with change of the state role, with structural transformation of the former institutional forms of public life, and with evolution of institutes of the civil society.

SEMANTICS OF THE FIRST PERSON PERSONAL PRONOUN

Korepina N.A.

Abstract

The article considers semantics of the first person personal pronoun in English and Russian within the anthropocentric paradigm. It emphasizes anthropocentrism and egocentrism of the pronoun system. The work outlines theoretical significance of the discussed issue in the works of some leading linguists on the nature, essence and semantics of the first person personal pronouns. The pronoun I is stated to express the personality of the speaker and characterizes any participant of the event as an individual, personality and the Self. The multiple nature of the social and interpersonal roles of the Self is reflected in the language and realized by the personal pronoun I. Therefore, the Self can express itself in a linguistic sense with the help of some grammatical categories and semantic differences given by the language used for self-expression. Moreover, the pronoun I can designate the personality itself as a definite set of traits without its bearer. The empirical data analysis claims the pronoun I not only to indicate the speaker, but also underline some specific traits of the Self (my real I, my happy I) expressing self-appraisal of the personality. Since a human being is biological, psycho-sociological essence or biological part of the personality draws special attention – a living I, a biological I of a person as well as one’s inner I with perceptional, emotional, and mental aspects. The personal pronoun I is connected with the conception of image identifying a public I as a manifestation of the Self. Thus, the research exposes a whole set of meanings describing the essence of a person’s nature with the help of the first person personal pronoun I. The personal pronouns in English and Russian are emotional and expressive forms of the speech. Analysis of the pronoun I demonstrates that its peculiarity is in its reference character and referential use relating to an individual expressing oneself by the use of the pronoun I.

ON THE WAYS OF SUBJECT VERBALIZATION IN JURIDICAL DISCOURSE

Krapivkina O.A.

Abstract

The article deals with the linguistic status of a subject in various genres of juridical discourse; analyzes the linguistic means which are involved in verbalization of the speaking subject. The author emphasizes that the subject can be verbalized in different ways in juridical discourse depending on its involvement in the discourse expert community. The author reevaluates the established in discourse-analysis point of view on the juridical discourse as an institutional form of communication only, specifying its status with the account of modern linguistics achievements. On the base of analysis the author distinguishes between two types of subjects in legal discourse – an I-subject and an institutional subject. The author notes that an I-subject is verbalized explicitly in discourse, not being at the back of impersonal constructions, while an institutional subject “masks” its personality for the sake of objectiveness of stated information, follows the discourse community conventions. The author distinguishes the linguistic means involved in the speaking subject positioning. They are as follows: first person subject pronouns, proper name, institutional role subject name, impersonal constructions. The graded subject representation in English and Russian legal discourse is considered as the interlingual and intercultural trends. The research is based on the achievements of theory of postmodernism (М. Foucault, R. Barthes, G. Deleuze et al.) and anthropocentrism (Yu. S. Stepanov, E. Benveniste, E.S. Kubryakova et al.) as well as on discourse analysis (V.I. Karasik, A.M. Kaplunenko, S.N. Plotnikova, E.F. Serebrennikova, E.I. Sheigal, J. Swales et al.).

SOCIO-URBAN TRANSFORMATION OF THE POPULATION EMPLOYMENT IN THE LARGE POST-INDUSTRIAL CITIES

Solodilov M.V.

Abstract

The article examines the employment transformation dynamics in the major and large post-industrial European cities, as well as a reflection of these changes in town planning and various economic sectors. The article focuses on the automotive capitals of Germany, based on the experience that predicts functional and urban perspectives of Togliatti. The article raises the topical issue of major cities undergoing post-industrial transformation. For the Russian and European cities the typical trend is to reduce the share of employment in manufacturing industry and the emergence of innovative infrastructure which has become a distinctive feature of the changing industrial cities and is becoming a major employer. In the beginning of the article, the author shows general trends of changes in the economic sectors specific for all European cities. The comparative dynamics compares the capital of the largest country in Europe and a major industrial center. Finally, it examines the territorial organization of science in Germany with a focus on the cities between Stuttgart and Munich. It also identifies such characteristics of the region as the existence of a polycentric "megacity" of Munich, emergence of the science city in Ulm, and several examples of industrial parks and special technical innovation zones. The author’s scheme "industrial parks and universities in the structure of cities in Germany" is the most valuable generalization. On the example of this scheme logic of industrial parks placement in the structure of German cities is clearly visible. The conclusions of this part of the study are relevant for Samara region where an agglomeration is formed. There is also an issue for consolidation and centralization of the universities to solve the problems of diversification of the economies of single-industry towns. For the largest single-industry town of Togliatti, the example of the cities such as Stuttgart, Ingolstadt, Rosenheim and Ulm is extremely important, as the development of innovative economy takes place in Togliatti due to creation of the Special Economic Zone and the industrial park.

TO THE ISSUE OF THE FORM AND MATTER IN PHILOSOPHY AND LANGUAGE IN COMPARISON OF SCIENTIFIC VIEWS OF A. MARTY AND W. WUNDT

Tkachenko S.A.

Abstract

According to W. Humboldt, the language consists of the matter (substance) and form. “Real matter of the language is, on the one hand, a sound in general and, on the other hand, a complex of sensory impressions and involuntary movement of the spirit which precede the formation of a concept that is created with the language”. It is impossible to speak about a linguistic matter without meaning a form: “in the absolute sense, there cannot be any unformed matter in the language”; in particular a sound “becomes articulate due to giving it a form”. The form, not minor matter, is the essence of the language.

Contrast between the form and matter was terminologically created by Aristotle, but conceptually outlined by Plato.

The article studies the concepts “the form”, “the matter” – ambiguity, characteristics, relationships, and the use of these concepts in philosophy and linguistics. The concepts of “form” and “matter” are everywhere. To some extent, however, the form in relation to the matter is more important and, therefore, basic. The content, in its turn, may also be opposed to the form. The paper proves the ambiguity of form and matter on the examples (from Aristotle and Kant to contemporary philosophers and linguists). The definition of the matter as the “material” (on the one hand) and “form” (the other hand) is given. It shows how important for the development of the meaning of “form” is the view of the “shape” in terms of image. This article contrasts the views of the German linguist A. Marty and the German philosopher and linguist W. Wundt on the concepts “form” and “matter”. A. Marty, through bringing substantial arguments, proves Wundt's erroneous views.

SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE AS AN ORGANIZING AND METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT FACTOR OF EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES

Sharov N.F.

Abstract

The article examines the characteristics of knowledge as a complex entity. It emphasizes the link between scientific knowledge and the whole sophisticated process of working with knowledge as a multifunctional phenomenon. The author analyzes opportunities of the knowledge and the requirements for it; considers various aspects and specifics of work with texts in science and education; draws attention to the peculiarities of their vision, understanding and application; shows their methodical and methodological instrumentality. Orientation base of the knowledge includes scientific and methodological features expressed through the actions of a writer (speaker) and a reader (listener) who studies the problem (topic). Practical influence depends on the sequence and completeness of implementation of what is presented in the scientific and methodological variant of the orientation base of knowledge expressed in the scientific and methodological text, through desobjectivation of the text and at the same time its internalization by the student (students).

Methodological support and ensuring is an integral and complex requirement of the development, both educational process and programming factor of development of education at its all levels. As a social and cultural process, education is represented in a transfer model of communication. The cognitive nature of education can not function and express itself without taking into account the subject-subject relation, cooperation in training activity. Educational and cognitive activity as cultural-educational activity proves that education, especially science education, creates value of cultural order, both in its results, and in the acts of cognitive educational attitude where the role and nature of the scientific and methodological text is presented. The society develops itself cognitively, therefore, develops and improves cognitive practices that are described in different theories. The article considers the cognitive practices in several scopes: formation of cognitive practices (we are interested in science and education); social value and specific cognitive practices; interaction of cognitive practices; and finally, particular forms, mechanisms that make up the cognitive practice, organization and peculiarities of functioning in cognitive areas (science, education).

PRIVATE MANAGEMENT CONCEPT OF THE HEAD OF A PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION

Dybina O.V.

Abstract

This article describes approaches to building an individual management conception of the head of a pre-school educational institution. The concept of administrative activity of the head is built on the basis of process, systematic and synergetic approaches. Each approach has been described, and positive aspects of their implementation have been outlined. Use of these approaches allows the author to consider an individual management concept (activity) of the director as an element of primary importance in the chain of innovative reforms which take place in modern preschool educational institutions. It turns out to be an integral managed system in the unity of its targets and structural components which are connected with each other and the external environment. The article reveals various aspects of a personality, and defines the structure of management activity. The process approach assumes that management leader focused on achieving specific goals of the organization that provides planning, motivation and control. The main disadvantage of this approach is that management activity is concentrated only on the internal problems of the organization, although solving problems does not always bring success. Thus, the management process cannot be focused only on the internal problems of the institution, but should be focused primarily on the goals set by the managers. System approach to management activities allows considering it as a system, providing it with a relation with other systems, and increasing their efficiency and effectiveness. To determine the management conception it is important to apply synergetic approach. Attempts to give the definition of the management conception of the director can be made with the help of synergy. A synergetic approach to building the management conception of director as a complex system requires activity of this system, i.e. the activity of the supervisor. In addition, synergistic approach substantiates the importance of considering our system through its components. To build the management conception of director, the author tries to combine process, systematic and synergetic approaches which allow them to select the content of management activity that helps the system to evolve and determine its strategy. The article presents a model of individual management concept of the head of a pre-school educational institution; its main function is to describe objectives, contents and principles of increasing the management competence of the director and professional awareness of the teaching staff. The author offers individual routes of director of a preschool educational institution. Special attention is paid to the principles and directions of educational policy of the institutions, including pre-school educational institutions.

LANGUAGE COMPETENCE AS THE BASIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC RESEARCH WORK OF THE STUDENTS

Zhdanova E.U.

Abstract

The article covers the issue of formation of language competence in the sphere of carrying out and the introduction of the results of academic research work of the students of higher educational institutions. The author says about the timeliness of the improvement of language proficiency level of the university students (the question is the students of non-philological specialties), and proves the necessity of taking actions for formation of language competence of the students within the frames of scientific functional style of the Russian language at different stages of the educational process – starting from baccalaureate and finishing the postgraduate training program. The necessity of such actions is proved by the fact that the higher vocational education is always accompanied by the individual academic research activity (writing of reports, course papers, diplomas, research articles, and so on). The author describes the dependence of quality of the students’ academic research work results on their competence in the sphere of skills in written language and the language special aspects of scientific style. The author also compares the level of development of the students’ language competence in the sphere of academic research activity and the level of formation of scientific thinking in the whole; and gives the definition to the concepts of “language competence”, “language competency” and “text competence”. The article presents the review of literature on the formation of scientific-research and language competence. The author offers the resolution of the issue of formation of the language (text) competence of the university students in the sphere of scientific-research activity, which is, first of all, the possibility of development and introduction of the integrate course “Academic research work of the students” to the educational process. The course will be based on the learning of the basics of scientific text and the development of practical skills for creation texts of different genres of scientific style of the Russian language.

DESIGN OF PROFILING SYSTEM OF MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION FOR TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS BASED ON INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO LEARNING

Kalukova O.M., Ivanov O.I., Babenko N.G.

Abstract

The article considers theoretical background for designing the profiling system of mathematical preparation of bachelors based on an integrative approach to learning. Needs analysis of mathematics use in study of the related subjects has shown that nowadays the traditional contradiction exists between the need for profile differentiation in mathematical education of specialists and the traditional approaches to mathematical training of technical university students. The problem arises from the identified contradictions – to differentiate scientific generalizations, develop on their basis effective pedagogical techniques for teaching the professionally-oriented courses in higher vocational mathematical education.

Study of the students’ level of scientific concepts awareness has allowed to state that current mathematical training of students of technical colleges does not provide systematic knowledge on implementation of interscientific concepts required for engineers in their professional activities. Deficiency of adequate professionally-oriented bonds can be solved by planned and purposeful development of content and methodology of mathematics course, and disclosure of its practical aspect through profile differentiation in the course of higher mathematics.

The article offers conceptual provisions and a suggested spatio-temporal model of technology for profiling mathematical education of students of technical colleges, as well as methods of its implementation. The authors describe the experimental survey that proves the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

VALUE GUIDELINES OF MODERN EDUCATION IN REALITIES OF NEW TIME

Taranosova G.N., Reshetnikova E.A.

Abstract

The goal of the article is to determine dominant value guidelines for students and techniques of their forming in the context of new time – the time of modernity, which is currently undergoing a crisis of a human. The cause of the crisis is explained by the technical approach to a human being which contributes to creation of pragmatism ideology, losing the purpose of life, and, as a result, losing the person as a value. Substitutions in education take place more often, for instance: the formal substitutes the meaningful; the essence is substituted for simulacra, and awareness of the facts does not allow discerning the spiritual core of a phenomenon. Exacerbation of the crisis can be traced through the Internet revolution which destroys the hierarchical system of knowledge.

Practical objectives of the work are aimed at development of the following pedagogical conditions for actualization of students’ values orientations in the work with a literary text: creation of their special attitude to the perceived message; emotional experience; sacred immersion; definition of spiritual idea of the text and understanding it as the basis of morality and dignity.

In modern society the irrational aspect of the studied works significantly affects the important aspects in perceiving of the world – moral, aesthetic, value, legal, moral assessment and moral motivation of behaviour. Overcoming the virtual space for the sake of one’s own identity allows the students to differentiate between classical and popular literature.

The scientific novelty of the work lies in the mentioned complex of pedagogical conditions. Pilot training, which has confirmed its high effectiveness, has been organized in lyceum of Khryashchovka village, Stavropol area, Samara region, on the example of the study of the Russian folktales.
