Transformation of University Models: Analysis of the Development Strategies of Universities in the World

The paper presents an analysis of the key characteristics of the typological models of modern universities and outlines the directions of their transformation. The concept of University 3.0 was used as a research methodology in view of the existing approaches to the classification of university models. The research method was the qualitative analysis of the strategic development documents of the various universities of the world posted on their websites. The selection of the universities for analysis was carried out on the basis of the results of the QS WUR 2022 ranking. The sample was made up of 30 universities from North America, Europe, Asia, and Russia, occupying various ranking positions. As a result, there were revealed the features of the strategic priorities for the development of Russian and foreign universities, as well as universities aimed at global and regional influence. A set of basic characteristics of typological models of universities 1.0-4.0 has been developed. It has been established that the transformation of these models takes place in the direction of increasing the scope of their mission, expanding the areas of activity, using new digital technologies, developing integration potential and strengthening the impact on society. The defining parameters for the formation of the model of the university of the future are focus on innovation and advanced continuous education, managed broad integration, diversification of income sources, social involvement and contribution to sustainable development. The presented complex of the main characteristics of typological models of universities can serve as a tool for assessing the compliance of a particular university with a particular model, as well as contribute to goal-setting in the development of the national higher education system and particular universities

National Projects in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation

In 2021, the Russian Federation will assume the chairmanship of the Arctic Council. This fact confirms the special attention of the country’s leadership to the unique geostrategic region. In December 2020, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, at an online meeting with volunteers and finalists of the contest “Volunteer of Russia”, noted that Russia would grow with the Arctic and the territories of the North. Many Russian citizens’ lives and the state’s success in the international arena depend on this territory’s development. One of the most important mechanisms for achieving the stated goals is national projects (NP), which should make a significant contribution to the development of the country’s territory. The purpose of the study is to assess NP in the subjects that are entirely related to the Arctic zone: Murmansk oblast, Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO), Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YANAO), and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (CHAO). In the course of the work, general scientific research methods were applied: comparative analysis, data comparison, induction, deduction, etc. The study results showed that, despite all the differences in economic and geographical position, financial condition, population, and regional development priorities, all Arctic regions have similar problems that hinder the effective development of territories. Without solving the problems indicated in the work, it is impossible to expect a qualitative «break-through» and implement the NP’s goals

Gotrone skin carcinoid papillomatosis

A case from the practice of treatment of Gotrone skin carcinoid papillomatosisis presented, which is considered as a complication of chronic dermatoses characterized by epidermal hyperplasia on the background of vascular disorders of the lower extremities and lymphostasis. The priority of the prevention of this disease was noted, including timely treatment of patients with chronic dermatoses, dispensary observation, as well as timely treatment of vascular pathology in related specialists.Приведен случай из практики лечения карциноидного папилломатоза кожи Готтрона, который рассматривается как осложнение хронических дерматозов, характеризующееся гиперплазией эпидермиса на фоне сосудистых нарушений нижних конечностей и лимфостаза.

Epidermal nevus : a case report

Epidermal nevi (EN) - cutaneous hamartomas, characterized by a variety of clinical forms, a similar histological structure. EN in 80.0% of cases are noted in the first year of life, are sporadic in nature, but can manifest themselves throughout life. In this case, differential diagnosis with unilateral dermatoses such as red planus, psoriasis, scleroderma, neurodermatitis, Romberg hemiatrophy, vitiligo, eczema, Schamberg disease, sclerotrophic lychene, primary amyloidosis of the skin should be performed. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the clinical cases of epidermal nevi, a description of the clinical, pathological picture and difficulties of diagnosis as an illustration of the interdisciplinary continuity of dermatovenereologists and pathologists in establishing the diagnosis of epidermal nevus. A clinical case of a patient of eighteen years with a confirmed diagnosis is presented: a linear warty late epidermal inflammatory nevus. A pathomorphological picture is described, the difficulties of diagnosis in connection with the confusion of the term "nevus", tk. the precursor of the nevus cell is always melanocyte. The authors point out that in the literature one can meet the established tradition of calling the malformations of nevi. When formulating the conclusion, morphologists should take into account the clinical data and, above all, the macroscopic picture, not only the histology data, it has no signs of specificity. It is necessary to increase the interdisciplinary continuity of dermatovenereologists and pathologists while establishing the diagnosis. Nature of the underlying disease that dictates overall prognosis and management. In this report, we present a case of a cutaneous horn, with an emphasis on their clinical implications and differential diagnosis.Эпидермальные невусы (ЭН) – кожные гамартомы, характеризующиеся множеством клинических форм, сходным гистологическим строением. Эпидермальные невусы в 80,0% случаев отмечаются в первый год жизни, носят спорадический характер, но могут проявляться в течение жизни. В таком случае необходимо проводить дифференциальную диагностику с унилатеральными дерматозами, такими как красный плоский лишай, псориаз, склеродермия, нейродермит, гемиатрофия Ромберга, витилиго, экзема, болезнь Шамберга, склероатрофический лихен, первичный амилоидоз кожи. Целью данного исследования стала демонстрация клинических случаев эпидермальных невусов, описание клинической, патоморфологической картины и трудностей диагностики в качестве иллюстрации междисциплинарной преемственности дерматовенерологов и патологоанатомов при установлении диагноза эпидермального невуса. Представлен клинический случай пациента восемнадцати лет с подтвержденным диагнозом линейного бородавчатого позднего эпидермального воспалительного невуса. Описаны клиническая, патоморфологическая картина и трудности диагностики в связи с путаницей термина «невус», используемого в литературе для обозначения как доброкачественных меланоцитарных опухолей, так и пороков развития кожи. При диагностике эпидермального невуса морфологи должны учитывать клинические данные, и прежде всего макроскопическую картину, не ограничиваясь только данными гистологии, которые не имеют признаков специфичности. Необходимо повышать междисциплинарную преемственность дерматовенерологов и патологоанатомов при установлении диагноза эпидермального невуса

Transition of Universities to Distance Mode During the Pandemic: Problems and Possible Risks

The aim of the work is to analyze key problems and risks that have arisen in connection with the transfer of universities to distance educational activities during the introduction of strict restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic. Among the main objectives of the study – identification of problems in the field of educational inequality, quality of education, the complexity of the educational process and cost of educational services as well as research experience of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, as one of the leading Russian universities, to overcome these problems in the period of the pandemic.Materials and methods. The analysis used data from sociological studies about attitude of university students and lecturers to distance learning conducted by expert organizations during the pandemic, analytical and informational materials of universities and bibliographic sources. Secondary analysis and interpretation of the results of sociological surveys, systematization and classification of theoretical and factual materials were used, analysis of management practices and experience of universities in the conditions of extreme transition to remote mode, including in comparison with foreign universities.Results. The study identified the key problems faced by the university community during the transition to distance work, among which are the growth of educational inequality, the dependence of the quality of education not only on the capabilities of educational institutions, but also on the competencies and technical capabilities of students and lecturers; increased academic load on both students and lecturers; possible quality reduction due to the spread of online education; the rising cost of education.The response of state authorities to the new “challenges” of the pandemic was timely: the regulatory framework was brought into line with modern conditions, the format of holding operational meetings of working groups with representatives of the university community was introduced and free access to a variety of domestic online courses was opened.Actions of Plekhanov Russian University of Economics to overcome threats during the pandemic, such as the revision of norms of time for calculating academic load, providing temporary use of laptops, webcams, organization of unlimited access to the largest electronic platforms for online learning, carrying out activities for administrative and teaching staff on issues of distance work, developing temporary local acts, organization of “Hot line” allowed to go into distance mode. Conclusion. Higher education institutions have passed a serious test for the strength and effectiveness of their work. Some countries, such as Brazil and a number of developing countries, have not been able to fully overcome the effects of the pandemic and switch to distance operation. The activities of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and the University Community of the Russian Federation have demonstrated high efficiency and cohesion.Distance education will not completely replace classical full-time education. The future development of the higher education system will be influenced by two multidirectional trends of support and rejection of the full distance learning format. However, the coronavirus pandemic has shown the possible effectiveness of converting part of the learning to digital format, which will make learning more flexible, personalized and effective in the future
