The relevance of this work is associated with the lack in labor psychology of a sufficient number of tools that facilitate the study and assessment of the labor interests of workers. Objective. The goal is to develop and validate a new methodology for researching the labor interests of workers in modern organizations. Methods and sampling. A survey toolkit was proposed, the results of which were compared with individual scales of the methods “Studying the motivational profile of a person” (S. Richie and P. Martin), the methodology of F. Herzberg “Monitoring of labor motives” and the method “Motyp” V. Gerchikov. The sample for standardization purposes included workers in modern industries associated with industry 4.0 from 21 to 50 years with a work experience of 0 to 30 years (N=210). Results. The author’s methodology “Labor interests of workers” has been developed, which includes 35 statements. The content of the statements reflects the theoretical classification of 7 groups of workers’ interests: economic; professional; career; group; corporate; territorial and general civil. In assessing these scales, a 5-point gradation is used (from 1 point — not at all important to 5 — very important). The author’s interpretation of the data obtained includes: the degree of expression of the labor interests of workers, the structure of labor interests in accordance with the above classification, the analysis of priority types of interests based on the ratings given by the respondents. Statistically significant correlations were obtained between the respondents’ answers to individual statements of the methodology and the final result. Numerous direct correlations between indicators of motivation and labor interests were revealed. The reliability factor of the method is 0.662, which corresponds to the average bond strength. Conclusions. The presented methodology is internally consistent, adequate to the research goal and reliable. The results indicate a high construct validity of this diagnostic tool.

Aim of study is a qualitative classification of manifestations of professional burnout based on quantitative indicators of exhaustion, cynicism and inefficiency. The paper substantiates the need to differentiate the symptoms of burnout from similar manifestations of professional maladjustment and personality disorders. The study involved 355 specialists of socionomic professions from different regions of Ukraine with work experience from 1 to 39 years (50.15% of men, 49.85% of women). Based on the cluster analysis of the three basic symptoms of burnout (exhaustion, cynicism, and depersonalisation), the groups of engaged and burned-out employees were identified, as well as qualitative and quantitative differences were showed. A comparative analysis of the groups was carried out for a number of additional diagnostic parameters: emotional attitude to work, the ratio of losses and gains of personal resources, the scale of psychological well-being, loyalty to the organisation. Typological profiles of 8 professional groups were created: effective employees ("engaged", "growing" and "taking" type), ineffective employees ("dependent" and "disengaged-relaxed" type), and three groups representing successive stages of burnout (accumulation of job stress, burnout itself and severe degree, accompanied by psychological distress in all spheres of life). The results allow us to conclude that particular symptoms of depersonalisation and reduction in personal achievements are not a sufficient basis for diagnosing burnout syndrome. The symptom of depersonalisation may be a manifestation of other professional deformations, not caused by burnout. Without combination with other parameters, the professional inefficiency is not a symptom of burnout; this is a common sign of insufficient development of competencies or an erroneous choice of the type of activity. Appropriate ways of organisational and psychological support are proposed.

This article deals with the classification of glassy and polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries into the so-called “strong/fragile” scale, by the means of the bond-strength-coordination number fluctuation model. We have evaluated the strength parameter, which plays a key role in the understanding of the relaxation phenomena, of each lithium-ion conductor under consideration. We have derived a relationship that not only describes accurately the experimental results, but also provides important details on the interrelation between the strength parameter, the bond strength of the structural unit, the binding energy, the coordination number and the glass transition temperature.

Abstract In selecting methods for determination of rubber to cord bond strength it is necessary to consider the factors which are subject to variation in the system— the type of cord, the composition of the vulcanized rubber, or the composition of the impregnant. The selection (composition) of the methods of assessment of bond strength was carried out in the present study while keeping the type of cord and the rubber compositions constant ; only the composition of the impregnant was varied. Up to the present there has been no single laboratory method for evaluating rubber to cord bond strength for the determination of the service quality of rubber-fabric structures. The bond strength in such a system is assessed in the majority of cases by the use of a series of methods. The existing methods may be systematized according to the nature of the deformation (static or dynamic), the nature of the specimen (with single thread of cord or with cord fabric) and so on. We adopted the following classification of methods: 1). Determination of bond strength of a single thread of cord with the rubber; 2). Determination of bond strength of rubber to fabric model specimens. Determination of bond strength of a single thread of cord with rubber is an exceptionally widely used type of testing in the rubber industry. It is based either on the principle of stripping of a single thread of cord from the rubber under pressure, or on the principle of pull-out of a thread of cord from a rubber specimen.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce a framework used in a program for working executives, designed to prepare them for the digital workplace environment of industry 4.0.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts a case-based approach. It presents the current context about industry 4.0 and digitized workplaces. It then describes the case of designing the curriculum for a learning program on this theme, the responses received from participants and facilitators and conclusions that can be drawn from the responses.FindingsThe findings indicate that digital workplaces present challenges such as fragmentation of work, a resultant disconnect between team members, an uncertainty about assessment of efforts as well as assessment of output. Facilitation by coaches, extensive documentation, knowledge sharing, empathy and an alignment to shared goals mitigate these challenges to some extent. Facilitation also enables the participants to experience the true benefits of technology aided collaboration.Research limitations/implicationsThe participants in the program had an average work experience of two years, and a senior management view was not represented.Practical implicationsThe learning from the program would help in designing more such collaborative and immersive learning experiences.Social implicationsPrograms about virtualization and automation of work processes enable an appreciation of the inherent challenges and shortcomings and a fairer implementation of technologies at the workplace.Originality/valueThe program brought into the classroom an immersive experience of the evolving dynamics between employers, digital technologies and employees of contemporary workplaces.

The conference transcript deals with current challenges facing the legal fields of intellectual property, media, competition and data protection law, primarily due to technical developments and the resulting changes in legislation. Examples of this are artificial intelligence systems that call into question essential principles of current patent and copyright law. However, it also deals with questions concerning the legal classification of search engines, social bots and other internet intermediaries, as well as questions of the data protection requirements for bloggers, street photographers and credit scoring, which need to be clarified in particular by the new General Data Protection Regulation. The book also focuses on the regulatory options for "Industry 4.0" data markets and the new directive on copyright in the digital single market.

The composition and structure of carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) are much closer to those of inorganic minerals in natural bones. A series of experiments have been conducted to investigate the following aspects: (1) the mechanism of CHA synthesis by precipitation approach; (2) the biocompatibility and stability of CHA coatings. The results showed that an even single phase CHA crystals could be developed from Ca (NO)3-(NH4)2HPO4-NaHCO3-NH4OH system. Lastly, the surface of Ti-based CHA/UHMWPE coatings (2μm) was uniform and continuous with average bond strength of 32 MPa. 60 days after implanting the coatings into animals, the surface of the implanted material was totally covered by newly grown bone tissues whose structure was of no significant difference with normal bones, without changing coatings bond strength greatly. The result of the present work implied CHA coatings have excellent bioactivity and stability.

This publication analyses and discusses the aspects of healthy lifestyle implementation competence in the personal life of students and future teachers, viewing it as a potential contribution to their professional career. The correlation of internal factors such as students' attitudes, knowledge, skills and abilities and influence of external factors of social environment are analysed as healthy lifestyle competence. The empirical study focuses on two priority healthy lifestyle components –physical activity and the development of healthy eating habits in relation to the conditions provided by a higher education microsystem formulating a proposal for improving the interaction of these factors. For achieving the research goal, emerging teachers have been surveyed using the methodology developed by Corbin et al. (2008). For statistical analysis of the research data, the SPSS 22.0 program was employed: a method of descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Kendall's tau-b correlation test. The results of this study prove the differences in competence indicators in relation to the respondents’ age and chosen specialization, as well as show the lack of support from professional management and medical staff for implementation of a healthy lifestyle.
