    The relevance of the problem under consideration stemmed from the need of revival of craft education system in Russia which focuses on training personnel for small handicraft enterprises, and it is also very important to identify, to preserve and to adapt it to the modern realities of pedagogical experience which was gained by the vocational education system in the past. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for development of spiritual, moral, organizational and pedagogical foundations of craft vocational education development in Russia theoretically and methodologically. The central approach to the investigation of this problem is the study and generalization of pedagogical experience which makes it possible to substantiate the tendencies of formation of a new type of vocational education in Russia. The result of the study was the substantiation of the key qualities of a master craftsman as a creative thinker and craft labour as a man-making system of knowledge and practical experience forming “multidimensional human integrity”. The statement that modern craft education should take into account the productive and transforming essence of a person as fully as possible, and thus, it should be acmeologically oriented can be considered the key conclusion. The materials of the article can be useful to practitioners and vocational education scientists, teachers and postgraduate students who are interested in the development of teaching system and personnel training system. © 2018 by the authors

    Today’s market shows increasing competition within consulting and audit services. Audit firms seek to expand the range of services provided and, considering the business environment, develop new areas for consulting activities. The authors offer due diligence as an example of such a developing and popular area. During environmental due diligence, an external firm is reviewing the company’s adherence to environmental regulations. Analyzing counterparty environmental reliability is key to safeguarding organizational finances and lessening business risks. The lack of a standard method for environmental due diligence makes developing fresh approaches crucial, thus emphasizing the topic’s relevance. The research assesses counterparty verification. Its goal is to determine how well it ensures compliance with environmental laws and regulations. The authors used the methods of synthesis, comparative analysis, and generalization in studying the features of the implementation of environmental due diligence. The study’s result is identifying the possibilities of using the obtained information regarding the counterparty as a supposed source of environmental risks to decide further methods for their reduction. As conclusions, the authors determined trends in the further growth and progress of methods for conducting environmental due diligence

    The research carried the potential analysis for using digital tools to verify the due diligence of a counterparty out at the stage of pre-contractual interaction with the organization, which allows for reduced possible financial, legal, reputational and tax risks. When using specialized platforms and online services, it can reduce the expected time spent on such an assessment by preparing a comprehensive report that reflects the fundamental aspects of the activities of a potential business partner. The digital products presented on the market are able to provide a detailed analysis of the financial position of the audited economic entity, its legal status, business reputation and affiliation with other legal entities. The information obtained allows us to determine the vector of further cooperation. The aim of the work is to consider the possibility and prospects for the use of digital tools during the procedure of contractual due diligence, carried out by specialized organizations; the authors identified the primary advantages of using these technologies, which are to reduce the time spent on collecting and analyzing information about the counterparty and providing expanded access to various databases. The study used methods of synthesis, comparative and logical analysis. The practical significance of the research is because experts have been conducting the contractual due diligence procedure when deciding on the possibility of using a particular online service in their work can use the presented results of the comparative characteristics of the considered digital tools

    Statistics of Magnetic Fields for OB Stars

    Based on an analysis of the catalog of magnetic fields, we have investigated the statistical properties of the mean magnetic fields for OB stars. We show that the mean effective magnetic field B{\cal B} of a star can be used as a statistically significant characteristic of its magnetic field. No correlation has been found between the mean magnetic field strength B{\cal B} and projected rotational velocity of OB stars, which is consistent with the hypothesis about a fossil origin of the magnetic field. We have constructed the magnetic field distribution function for B stars, F(B)F({\cal B}), that has a power-law dependence on B{\cal B} with an exponent of 1.82\approx -1.82. We have found a sharp decrease in the function F(B)F({\cal B})F for {\cal B}\lem 400 G that may be related to rapid dissipation of weak stellar surface magnetic fields.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures, accepted Astronomy Letters, 2010, vol.36, No.5, pp.370-379, contact E-mail: [email protected]

    A synchrotron self-Compton model with low energy electron cut-off for the blazar S5 0716+714

    Full text link
    Rapid inverse Compton cooling sets in when the brightness temperature (T_B) of a self-absorbed synchrotron source with power-law electrons reaches ~10^{12} K. However, T_B inferred from observations of intra-day variable sources (IDV) are well above the "Compton catastrophe" limit. This can be understood if the underlying electron distribution cuts off at low energy. We approximate a low-energy cut-off with monoenergetic electrons. We compute the synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) spectrum of such distribution, and using the IDV source S5~0716+714 as an example, we compare it to the observed SED of S5~0716+714. The hard radio spectrum is well-fitted by this model, and the optical data can be accommodated by a power-law extension to the electron spectrum. We therefore examine the scenario of an injection of electrons that is a double power law in energy with a hard low-energy component that does not contribute to the synchrotron opacity. We show that the double power-law injection model is in good agreement with the observed SED of S5~0716+714. For intrinsic variability, we find that a Doppler factor of D\geq30 can explain the observed SED provided that low-frequency (<32 GHz) emission originates from a larger region than the higher-frequency emission. To fit the entire spectrum, D\geq65 is needed. We find the constraint imposed by induced Compton scattering at high T_B is insignificant in our model. We confirm that electron distribution with a low-energy cut-off can explain the high T_B in compact radio sources. We show that synchrotron spectrum from such distributions naturally accounts for the observed hard radio continuum with a softer optical component, without the need for an inhomogeneous source.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, to appear in A&A; refereces removed from caption of Fig.3, added acknowledgemen

    Dynamics Trends of Russians’ Mortgage Debt in Tightening Macroprudential Policy

    The Bank of Russia’s macroprudential measures, implemented since 2021, target the growth and structure of Russian household mortgage debt. Tightening these measures over the past three years actualise of the effectiveness and validity of this policy of the Bank of Russia relevant. Therefore, the study aims to analyse by statistical methods the trends in mortgage lending that has developed in Russia in tightening macroprudential policy. To meet the goal, statistical analysis used publicly available data on the dynamics and regional distribution of Russian mortgage debt, along with key mortgage lending terms (interest rates and loan durations). This paper analyzes mortgage loan dynamics (total and per capita) from 2018 to 2024, focusing on how macroprudential measures (higher interest rates and tighter subprime lending limits) curbed growth. The first part of the paper explains prizing mortgage as a mechanism for households’ basic need for a home satisfaction, and discusses why implementing this mechanism poses a threat of a mortgage crisis. The second part analyses territorial differentiation of mortgage loans and terms in monthly dynamics over the past five years. Also, the authors presented results for the macroeconomic factors’ impact on the mortgage. Based on the official statistics, the study proved a high territorial homogeneity of the trends in mortgage. The paper revealed that macroprudential limits will force low-income households to abandon a house that will lead to increase social tension. Resuming, the authors confirmed a significant positive relationship between the key rate and mortgage liability dynamics, thus proving the hypothesis that raising the key rate is unreliable. The paper contends that these developments stem from not only flawed regulatory choices but also insufficient housing affordability and systemic financial flaws. Considering regulatory reform requires looking beyond individual incentives and banking oversight to focus on systemic interconnectedness and mortgage lending transparency
