The model of monitoring of vocational pedagogical competences of professors in secondary vocational education

The relevance of the researched issue is preconditioned by the strategic changes in the secondary vocational education system taking place not only in Russia, but also in majority of industrially developed countries. Provision of the system with qualified pedagogical staff is the leading strategic objective of development of the secondary vocational educational system. Its solution must be based on the justified monitoring system, which objectively represents the condition as well as quantitative and qualitative changes taking place in the educational sphere. The article is aimed at developing, substantiating and approbating the model of monitoring of vocational pedagogical competences of professors in secondary vocational education. Integration of the competence, functional and general pedagogical analysis became the leading approach to research into this problem, which has enabled substantiating the model of monitoring of vocational pedagogical competences of professors in the secondary vocational education system. The article presents results of the theoretical and methodological analysis of Russian and foreign research dedicated to identification of key and emerging competences in various spheres. The competence model of a professor of secondary vocational education has been developed and substantiated as a monitoring basis. The article may be useful to improve the quality of the human resource potential in the secondary vocational education system in Russia, to define current and long-range objectives of its development. © 2016 Andryukhina et al

Combating corruption in the educational sphere: Ukrainian experience

Based on expert estimates, 17% of corrupt practices are committed in this area, and the authors identify the leading causes of corruption in the educational sphere. The objective is the non-recognition of teachers and lecturers as subjects of criminal corruption offenses, low level of the labor expense, inventory, and logistics management discrepancy in educational institutions of different groups with modern educational methods. Subjective reasons include the mutual “benefit” of corrupt practices to all participants in the educational process; disenchantment with the profession due to burnout; certain aspects of mentality; the sense of impunity for blackmailing offenses and receiving gifts. Regarding scientific research methods, their branched complex and multilevel structure are proposed: philosophical, empirical research, methods of theoretical cognition: general logical methods, specific scientific methods. The principal means to combat corruption in the educational sphere is preventive increasing the level of labor expense in the academic sphere; improving the inventory and logistics management of the educational institutions at all levels and regions; avoiding the mutual “benefit” to all participants in the educational process and anti-corruption means (criminalization for all teaching and research-pedagogical staff for the commission of the criminal offense)

Immunologic characteristics of winter rye varieties

Studies were conducted in 2010-2017. Under conditions of Kirov region onnatural and artificial epiphytoties 29 varieties of winter rye grown in Russian Federation and 20 perspective populations bred in FARC of North-East were investigated for resistance to snow mold, sclerotinia, root rot, ear fusarium, ergot, septoriosis, rhynchosporium, and some types of rust. Modeling the pathocenoses the methods of S.S. Shain (1987),T.K.Sheshegova and L.I. Kedrova (2003) and others were used. Varieties Krona, Chulpan 7, Pamyati Kunakbaeva, Volkhova, Rada, Grafinya, Falenskaya 4, Leda, Nioba, Grafit, C-30/07, and Perepel have relative resistance against two or more diseases. These varieties could be used as gene sources in different breeding programs. It has been established that winter rye varieties bred in FARC of North-East have higher resistance level to snow mold that is proved by their rate of re-growth after defeat by artificial inoculation Microdochium nivale (Fr.) Sam.et.Hall. (61.4% on the average among varieties) but they are more susceptible to stem rust ( the affection degree under conditions of natural epiphytoties is 40.0% on the average). Varieties Rada, Flora, Rushnik, Grafinya, Nioba, and Leda were noted for productivity, they 0.08-0.26 t/ha exceeded standard Falenskaya 4 for three years on the average. Using the method of biotypic selection on ergot and ear fusariosis complex infectious background three populations were created: FK 7-10/12, Graphit, and Gratsiya. In some years these varieties exceeded standard variety Falenskaya 4 on productivity, they were distinguished by high winter hardiness, large grain size, and resistance to lodging

Ritual as a method of social memory content transfer

The paper deals with a ritual as a method of social memory content transfer. To reveal dialectics of ritual phenomenon formation and development, hermeneutical, dialectical and general scientific approaches as well as analysis and synthesis are applied. Social memory is considered as a complex of essential information for a society rooted in a social medium mentality and transferred from one generation to another. In terms of analyzed theoretical approaches to ritual and social memory the authors conclude that a ritual is capable of transferring social memory from one social stratum to another retaining its content. By means of a ritual, the process of conversation between different individuals is implemented, and the unity of memories is formed. Ritual instability allows changing its form dialectically retaining its content unvaried. Ritual preserves, presents and keeps its content current taking into account changing forms of manifestation that define the dynamics of society development. Reflecting the inner content of a social memory ritual contributes to its literal perception in the modern world and, as a consequence, to the reduction of social conscience manipulation. The development of society is in great necessity in such methods of social memory transfer that are capable of responding to social changes retaining important information for society ungarbled. The authors consider a ritual as one of such methods

Development of Technique for Face Detection in Image Based on Binarization, Scaling and Segmentation Methods

A technique for face detection in the image is proposed, which is based on binarization, scaling, and segmentation of the image, followed by the determination of the largest connected component that matches the image of the face.Modern methods of binarization, scaling, and taxonomic image segmentation have one or more of the following disadvantages: they have a high computational complexity; require the determination of parameter values. Taxonomic image segmentation methods may have additional disadvantages: they do not allow noise and outliers selection; clusters can't have different shapes and sizes, and their number is fixed.Due to this, to improve the efficiency of face detection techniques, the methods of binarization, scaling and taxonomic segmentation needs to be improved.A binarization method is proposed, the distinction of which is the use of the image background. This allows to simplify the process of scaling and segmentation (since all the pixels in the background are represented by the same color), non-uniform brightness of the face, and not to use the threshold settings and additional parameters.A binary image scaling method is proposed, the distinction of which is the use of an arithmetic mean filter with threshold processing and Fast wavelet transform. This allows to speed up the image segmentation process by about P2 times, where P is the scaling parameter, and not to use the time-consuming procedure for determining.A binary scaled image segmentation method is proposed, the distinction of which is the use of density clustering. This allows to separate areas of the face of non-uniform brightness from the image background, noise and outliers. It also allows clusters to have different shapes and sizes, to not require setting the number of clusters and additional parameters.To determine the scaling parameter, numerous studies were conducted in this work, which concluded that the dependence of the segmentation time on the scaling parameter is close to exponential. It was also found that for small P, where P is the scaling parameter, the quality of face detection deteriorates slightly.The proposed technique for face detection in image based on binarization, scaling and segmentation can be used in intelligent computer systems for biometric identification of a person by the face imag
