Preventive Activity for Providing Public Order and Legality in St. Petersburg (on materials of a sociological research)

The purpose of the article is assessment of a criminogenic situation and the analysis of activities of law enforcement agencies for safety of residents of St. Petersburg. Quantitative and qualitative methods of a sociological research and also methods of the correlation and regressive analysis and expert estimates are used. The research of a condition of crime and detection of opinion of residents of St. Petersburg in relation to various forms of her manifestation, assessment of activity of law enforcement agencies is result. The conducted research allows to draw a number of conclusions: different types of offenses have both the general social and economic determinants, and more concrete, specific which have received the interpretation on the basis of the obtained empirical data; it is summarized that achievement of a certain stability of system of public safety doesn’t guarantee this trend further as new social calls appear. For example, the extremist factor, recruiting work exerts impact on criminalization from the extremist organizations, etc. today. As results of a research, the number of the registered crimes in St. Petersburg of terrorist orientation testify it isn’t so big, but it has resonant character and is calculated on fear, social destabilization. Residents and experts are unanimous when determining the types of crime exerting the greatest impact on a criminogenic situation in St. Petersburg are the crimes connected with drug trafficking, property crimes and crimes against the personality. In the majority a case respondents connect the ideas of a condition of crime in St. Petersburg in the next years with change of a social and economic and political situation and believe that the criminogenic situation in the city will tend to improvement though this tendency has no convincing argument. It is possible to draw a conclusion that purposeful work on increase in safety of citizens in St. Petersburg has the positive results and demands the further improvement. Scheduled maintenance on her prevention acts as one of the key directions of fight against crimes.From the point of view of citizens, are the most important: he preventive activity of police directed to strengthening of patrol of city streets, domestic territories, continuous raids in criminogenic places; improvement of work of district police officers; quick response to addresses of citizens; universal installation of surveillance cameras and increase in solvability of crimes

The Formation of Students’ Values in the Context of Changes in the Educational Environment (On the Example of the Leningrad Region)

The article examines the direction of improving the quality level of the educational process in the conditions of changing educational environment and new social challenges. One of the important aspects in the conditions of innovative transformations is the formation of students ‘ social and spiritual values. It is the General education school that should form in the minds of the younger generation spiritual, moral and Patriotic values, social and ethical norms of behavior based on national and universal ideals.The study of students ‘own value preferences is insufficient from the point of view of methodological educational and organizational approaches.in this regard, students’ value orientations and preferences often remain outside the field of view of the pedagogical community.The article notes that a comprehensive analysis of the formation of values of high school students, the study of the mechanisms of intergenerational continuity and the development of innovative forms of educational influence important study of value preferences of students, as well as the evaluation opinions of the teaching staff, especially young teachers engaged in the educational process. The purpose of this article is also to study the trends and specifics of the educational and educational process focused on the problems and formation of social values of students of educational organizations in the Leningrad region

Possibilities of the Mixed Research Methods Application in the Management of a Modern University (On the Materials of Sociological Research)

The paper discusses the possibilities of using mixed methods research in the management of a modern university. The goal of the study is to substantiate the heuristic potential of mixed methods research to identify effective approaches to managing the faculty in modern conditions.The study describes iterative data analysis within the framework of a mixed strategy:1) standard quantitative analysis; 2) quantitative triangulation, including the use of several methods, such as the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA); 3) standard qualitative analysis; 4) mixed triangulation, which ultimately led to a synergistic effect.The research results lie in different ways, including methodological and content related. The methodological results include the identification of the special heuristic potential of mixed methods during exploratory research; in the substantive part, a situation of social maladjustment of faculty was diagnosed in the context of developing “academic capitalism”, when the academic community, taking into account both economic and increasing social deprivation, is demotivated for effective labor activity

Evolution of the characteristics of Parametric X-ray Radiation from textured polycrystals under different observation angles

Optimization of the production plan taking according to the customers' strategic importance

The article is devoted to the management of the production plan of the industrial enterprise. Existing approaches to optimization of the production plan are focused mainly on stochastic demand and consider the process of production plan formation. At the same time, many modern industrial enterprises often deal with rush orders in the course of their work. They have to solve the task of changing the formed production plan. If resources are limited, the decision to include an urgent order may result in a failure or a change in the due date of the orders included in the plan. In this regard, it becomes important to take into account the strategic importance of clients to the enterprise. The article proposes a methodological approach to the issue of inclusion or non-inclusion of rush order in the already formed and accepted production plan. The authors have developed a mathematical model of optimization of the formed production plan with the participation of rush order. The model uses Boolean variables to decide whether to include or refuse an order and an additional factor to increase margin income from the order for strategic customers. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd

Practices of Protest in the Conditions of the Developing Academic Capitalism

The article focuses on the problem of professional motivation of University teaching staff in the context of developing “academic capitalism” and presents the results of the empirical study carried out by the authors at the North-Western Institute of management of RANEPA in March–June 2020. Based on the data obtained, it is revealed that teachers, experiencing deep deprivation of their social needs – the needs for respect, recognition and honor, are trying to find their place in the modern system, get out of the grip of double pressure, on the one hand, from the administration, which purposefully imposes rating systems and effective contracts, increasing competition between teachers, and on the other hand – students, who are now positioned as clients of universities. In the context of developing academic capitalism, teachers choose one of two adaptation strategies: 1) conformism as an opportunity to integrate into a constantly changing situation; 2) the practice of quiet protest as an opportunity to demonstrate the inefficiency of the entrepreneurial model of higher education, at least in its current version, and 3) neutral position to protect the classical values of the academic community
