TRANSFORMING EXCELLENCE INTO INCLUSIVE: CASES FROM UNIVERSITIES IN THE USA, UK, SINGAPORE AND RUSSIA

The article presents a semantic analysis of program documents of universities from different countries, who has leading positions in the QS-2018 ranking. The aim of this study is to provide a meaningful and semantic study of the development strategies of top universities in order to identify trends in the convergence of academic and inclusive excellence. The study conducted a content analysis of plans or strategies for the development of 4 universities: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, USA), University of Oxford (UO, UK), National University of Singapore (NUS, Singapore), Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU, Russia). The content analysis criteria were refined indicators of diversity proposed in the model for Inclusive Excellence.The results showed that all program documents identify the basic values of inclusive excellence as the main ones: internationalization, activity, support, development, and others. Inclusive and academic excellence is formed in an environment where the main value and resource is the individual. Descriptors of criterions 1 and 2 are most common in the program documents of MIT and the UO. A comparative analysis of 4 documents showed that the strategy and models of inclusive and academic excellence reflect the unique track of development of the University and the country in which they are implemented.

On reconstruction of structure of a linear system with time delay

The problem of reconstruction of a structure of a linear system with delay is considered. A solution algorithm stable with respect to the informational noise and computational errors is specified. The algorithm is based on the method of auxiliary positionally controlled models

Socio-Economic Policy of Russia on Black Sea Coast of Caucasus in Second Half of 19th Century

The problematic issues of the socio-economic policy of Russia in the development of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus in the second half of the 19th century is analyzed in the article. The relevance of scientific research is explained not only by the growing public interest in the processes of regional history, but also by the need for scientific understanding and study of the development of the strategically important South Russian region. The localization of creative research was carried out, first of all, on insufficiently covered issues in the scientific literature, and often on historical subjects that were practically not considered by researchers. Particular attention in the study is paid to the description of the migration movement to the eastern Black Sea region and the formation of settlements. The projects of scientists, officials of various departments to improve economic development were considered. The features of land use and land management of coastal settlements are revealed. The role of the state in the development and expansion of the settlement network is characterized. It has been established that the construction of sustainable communications (highways, railways, sea routes) contributed to the consolidation of Russian influence on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. It is shown that communications, habitation of the lands of the coastal strip provided the resort development of the Eastern Black Sea region from the end of the 19th century. The author comes to the conclusion that the uncertainty of land use boundaries, as well as the attraction to the region of the population unfamiliar with local natural and climatic conditions, the lack of communications in every possible way slowed down the development of the region

Formation of Villages of Psekup Cossack Regiment on Northwestern Caucasus (1864—1871)

Based on documentary materials, the article examines the settlement of the Cossack villages of the Psekup Cossack regiment and the description of the resettlement movement in the North-Western Caucasus. The author focuses, first of all, on the civil-settlement aspect, since historical settlements arose from a complex interweaving of politics and geography, power and settlement way of life, reflecting not only the way of life familiar to the Cossacks, but also the Cossack identity. The Psekup Cossack Cavalry Regiment, which was both a military unit of the Kuban Cossack army and an administrative unit within the Kuban region is considered. It is emphasized that, in fact, a military-civilian administration was formed with the maximum sphere of competence in this territory. The problematic aspects of surveying and land use in the Cossack villages of the regiment are revealed. The purpose of the study is to analyze the processes of development of the Trans-Kuban spaces in the form of fortified stanitsa settlements, as well as the penetration of Russian influence in a new area of the historical region of Kuban. The author comes to the conclusion that the villages of the Psekup cavalry regiment were interconnected with the regimental military organization, acting as a stronghold for securing Russian positions in the TransKuban region

On some problems and solutions in frame theory

We de ne frames for a nite dimensional Hilbert space HM as the complete systems in HM: The basic frame families are classi ed such as tight and Parseval frames,equal norm frames and equiangular frames. The statements of some problems that have already become famous in the theory of frames are given. Considerable progress has been made in addressing some of them in recent years.The first author is supported by the RFBR grant 17-01-00138

Grounds and consequences of waiver of the contract on the provision of tourist services

The purpose of the article is to clarify the legal nature, grounds, realization mechanism and consequences of waiver of the contract on the provision of tourist services. The research was conducted using such methods of scientific knowledge as dialectical, comparative, formal-legal, logical-legal. Based on the analysis of doctrinal approaches and regulations, it is established that the refusal of the agreement on the provision of tourist services is a measure of operational influence and a means of protecting the civil interest. The grounds for unilateral waiver of the contract differentiated into unconditional and those that are a consequence of violation of its terms. At the same time, it is stated that this subjective right is exercised in out-of-court procedure by sending a written (electronic) notice to the counterparty. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is proposed to give tourists the opportunity to choose between postponing the trip to another term and exercising withdrawal from the agreement. Particular attention is paid to the general and special consequences of lawful refusal. Based on the study, the authors made generalizations and conclusions about the state and prospects of improving the mechanism for exercising the right to unilateral waiver of the contract on the provision of tourist services

Reconstruction of vector (signal) by the norms of projections

The foundations of the frame theory in finite-dimensional Euclidean space are represented. The ability of frames in the reconstruction of the vector signal without phase measurements are shown. There is a review of a number of new concepts and their role in the signal reconstruction. The possibility of reconstruction of the vector by the norms of the projections on the subspaces is asserted. Particular attention is paid to systems of subspaces for which there is the possibility of reconstruction by the norms of the projections on them and on their orthogonal complements
