Role of the state in formation of the knowledge economy Роль государства в формировании экономики знаний

The article analyses results of taking over the world of the model of information society, identifies urgency of consideration of information and knowledge as new critical resources of this model, objective necessity of adaptation of available theoretical and practical recommendations with respect to development of the knowledge economy to conditions of Ukraine, activation of participation of the state in this process. The article makes a conclusion that in the course of development of the knowledge economy the existing sectors (material, financial, information) should be provided with technologies capable of overcoming hazardous impact on natural environment and life of society. Technological modes of the domestic economy should be improved on the basis of the newest achievements of science and ensure synergy effect of their co-existence. The state bodies, which regulate development of new technological modes and knowledge economy, should take into account ambiguity of their impact on the life of society. Transition to new models of society provoke growth of load on the psyche of a human being. The state should control these processes, creating mechanisms of objective diagnostics and responsible impact on thoughts and behaviour of the population, especially that part of it, which is capable of developing and using its creative potential to the benefit of the nation.Проанализированы результаты овладения миром модели информационного общества, определена актуальность рассмотрения информации и знаний в качестве новых критических ресурсов этой модели, объективная необходимость адаптации имеющихся теоретических и практических рекомендаций относительно развития экономики знаний к условиям Украины, активизации участия государства в этом процессе. Сделан вывод, что с развитием экономики знаний существующие секторы (материальный, финансовый, информационный) следует обеспечивать технологиями, способными преодолевать вредное влияние на естественную среду и жизнь общества. Технологические уклады отечественной экономики следует совершенствовать на основе новейших достижений науки, обеспечивать синергетический эффект их сосуществования. Государственные органы, регулируя развитие новых технологических укладов и экономики знаний, должны учитывать неоднозначность их влияния на жизнь общества. Переход к новым моделям общества провоцирует рост нагрузки на психику человека. Государство должно контролировать эти процессы, создавая механизмы объективной диагностики и ответственного влияния на мысли и поведение населения, особенно той его части, которая способна развивать и использовать свой творческий потенциал в пользу нации

History of the floristic study of the Karelian Isthmus, Leningrad Region

The Karelian Isthmus is located in the Leningrad Region, NW Russia, between the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga. The political boundaries have changed several times during the history. The state boundary has in practice also defined the study areas of Russian and Finnish botanists working in the area in different times. This has especially been true after Finland became independent in 1917, and again after WorldWar II. The first floristic records from the area date back to 1749–1752, when the Russian geographer S. P. Krascheninnikov travelled in the area. Amore systematic study started in themid 1840’s. The first Finnish floristic study on the isthmus was made by W. Nylander, based on his travels in 1844, 1849 and 1850. This pioneer work of the floristic study in Finlandwas followed by several others, and rather intensive floristic exploration by Finnish botanists was carried out on the isthmus untilWorldWar II. The most important explorers were I. Hiitonen and V. Erkamo. The Russian botanists studying the area during the latter half of the 19th century includedK. F.Meinshausen and I. F. Schmalhausen. On the Russian side, there was an interruption in the floristic study from the 1920’s to 1947, when the first inventories for the “Flora of the Leningrad Region” were started; the four-volume flora was printed in 1955–1965. Since then, several botanists have carried out field work on the Karelian Isthmus, which today is floristically rather well known. Finally, in the 2000’s two handbooks with keys and a thorough conspectus were published on the vascular plant flora of the Karelian Isthmus and its adjacent regions

Raising of the functioning efficiency of the automated information systems by planning the procedure of their improvement

Розглянуто принципи підвищення ефективності функціонування автоматизованих інформаційних систем на основі аналізу часу початку їх реінжинірингу, а також планування процедур удосконалення в цілому. Побудовано комплекс марковських і напівмарковських моделей для визначення показників надійності й продуктивності укрупнених кластерів автоматизованих інформаційних систем.Both, the principles of raising the efficiency of automated information systems functioning by analyzing the starting time of their re-engineering and improvement planning procedures in general are taken into consideration. The complex of the Markov and semi-Markov models to determine the reliability and productivity indices of enlarged clusters of automated information systems is built. To choose the depth (level) of penetration of reengineering procedures the quantitative and qualitative estimation is used. The depth of reengineering penetration is defined by the penetration coefficient correlated with the possible automation level of a certain system element in particular or the whole system in general. To determine the re-engineering starting time for the AIMS two approaches are used. The first one determines the best reengineering starting time by estimating the expenses increase on the system service. The second approach determines the average cycle time of the system on the basis of the semi-Markov model construction. The paper contains the numerical simulation of the distribution functions mean cycle time of dataset service for the Erlang distribution under the conditions defined mathematical expectation and variance for the time between failures, processing unit recovery time, set collection and dataset processing time Results obtained in our work limit the efficiency level of AIMS subsystems. For the systems with clear structural differentiation the estimation of the minimal acceptable level of the system performance indicator for each structural unit is done. As a result, the constraints ensemble was obtained. Thus, the obtained expressions for the structural components of AIMS can be used as limits of the effectiveness of these subsystems, when making decision on the whole system re-engineering. The novelty of this approach realization is the accounting of investments at the stage of the system functioning after the beginning of moral obsolescence and correlation of these expenses with the efficiency of the system ongoing improvement by estimation changes in the mean time of the system cycles. The total amount of efforts (financial, intellectual, creative) on continuous improvement determines the particular starting time and penetration depth of re-engineering procedures, which make possible to save due to the same factors providing the revolutionary change of the system modernization

Practice of formation of cognitive competence of a future manager

The article justifies a necessity of introduction of a cognitive component, which creates prerequisites of mastering technologies of generation of new knowledge by a graduate with the use of own original schemes and skills, into the system of competences that are formed by the higher school. The article shows the process of formation of the graduate’s cognitive competence in the form of a succession of such its getting more complicated variants as educational, educational and cognitive, intellectual and cognitive, research, and scientific and research. The article provides such elements as the goal, result, assessment criteria and the nature of pedagogical accompaniment in each variant of the structural and logic model of cognitive activity. It provides real examples of results of formation of educational competence taken from the disciplines of the curriculum of training managers. It identifies the final goal of the new technology of the educational process – formation of ability of a student on the basis of analysis of publications and practical experience to detect a new problem, draw up a gnoseological and ontological picture of the world that facilitate development of a constructive mechanism of its collective study, formulate hypotheses, find and realise methods of their examination and identify novelty of the obtained results
