ETHICS OF ENGINEERS: CHALLENGES OF COMPETENCY FORMATION AND ASSESSMENT

The paper covers issues of ethical education for engineering students in Russian universities. The topical character of these issues is grounded by the findings of the survey of self-study reports on degree engineering programs, presented within professional accreditationrun by the Association for Engineering Education of Russia in 2003-2013, and reports of the program auditors. The proposed solution involves integration of an ethical aspect into professional disciplines assuming understanding of codes of engineering ethics by students and applying principles of the codes as one of the criteria for assessment of students’ projects. Authors outline the most effective methods of teaching engineering ethics and proposeindicators for relevant competency assessment

Digitalization of regional economy: concepts, problems, ways of realization

The concept of digital economy has been analyzed. The concept of a regional digital economy has been formulated. The essence of the revolutionary scenario of digital market transformation has been investigated. In particular, the problems of monopolization of production and business of the regional economy, the loss of control over the economic development of the region, foreign economic intervention, seizing regional development resources have been disclosed. From the point of view of the research topic, some key terms and expressions (the ecosystem of the regional economy, functional competitiveness of economic entities, marginality of business and production, the mainstream of the regional economy) have been clarified. A SWOT analysis of the process of using digital platforms in the regional economy has been carried out

Morphostructural description of the Salix offshoot systems from the middle taiga subzone of western Siberia

Проведен сравнительный анализ количественных признаков двулетних побеговых систем восьми видов Salix (S. triandra, S. myrtilloides, S. hastata, S. pyrolifolia, S. jenisseensis, S. phylicifolia, S. uralicola). Образцы для исследований получены от растений, произрастающих на труднодоступных отдаленных территориях заповедника Малая Сосьва. В методике исследований применен модульный подход и математические методы анализа. Проанализированы основные статистики, изменчивость и корреляция семи морфоструктурных признаков побеговых модулей последнего (AS) и предыдущего (PS) годов вегетации. Показана общность и различия видов по исследованным признакам. Отмечены внутривидовые и межвидовые статистические особенности побеговых модулей разных конструктивно-возрастных типов (AS и PS). Внутривидовая и межвидовая изменчивость основных морфоструктурных признаков AS и PS («длина стебля» и «количество междоузлий») не соответствует нормальному (случайному) закону распределения. В неслучайном варьировании признаков велика роль структурных факторов.The comparative study of the quantitative features of biennial offshoot systems of eight species of Salix was conducted. These species are S. triandra, S. myrtilloides, S. hastata, S. pyrolifolia, S. jenisseensis, S. phylicifolia, and S. uralicola. The samples for the study were obtained from plants growing in hard to reach remote areas of the reserve «Malaya Sos’va». The modular approach and mathematical methods of analysis have been employed in the research methodology. The basic statistics, variability and correlation of seven morphostructural features of the offshoot modules of the last (AS) and previous (PS) years of vegetation are analyzed. The differences and similarities of the species as well as intra- and inter-specific statistical peculiarities of different structural and age specific offshoot modules (AS and PS) are considered and defined. The intraspecific and interspecific variability of some morphological characteristics («length of the stalk» and «the number of internodes») of the offshoot modules AS and PS does not correspond to the normal distribution law. Structural factors must explain such non-accidental character of the variability of the investigated features

N. Gumilev and P. Gauguin: a Creative and Aesthetic Union

Рассматривается универсальная для культуры рубежа XIX-XX вв. тенденция к духовному и эстетическому синтезу. Использование автором контекстно-герменевтического подхода обнаруживает близость психологических типов поэта Гумилева и художника Гогена, глубинные перекрестки в семантике их жизненных стратегий и эстетических устремлений. Делается вывод о том, что искусства разных видов, но соприродного стиля демонстрируют большую близость в своих поисках, чем искусства одного вида, но разных стилей, если рассматривать стиль как ритм мышления культуры.The article studies the tendency for spiritual and aesthetic union characteristic for late 19th - early 20th century. The contextual and hermeneutical approach to the analysis reveals a similarity of Gumilev's (as a writer) and Gauguin's (as a painter) psychological types, and a profound coincidence in their life strategies semantics and aesthetic aspirations. The author concludes that arts, belonging to kindred styles show a stronger likeness in their creative search than a single art of different styles, as long as style is perceived as a rhythm of a culture's thinking
