Introduction. The era of post-industrial society of knowledge differs from the previous socio-economic period in many important aspects: total digitalisation, automation and robotisation, and furthermore, cross-disciplinary integration of various scientific fields, among which mathematics is of particular relevance. Over the last decades, the language, tools and methods of the digital era have emerged as the basic universal research tools in physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering, organisation of production and in many other theoretical and applied spheres of activity. Against the background of progressively advanced mathematisation, which covers larger functional intellectual space, it is extremely important to provide the fundamental, advancing nature of mathematical training of students, including in the first place the students of the pedagogical directions. The graduates of pedagogical higher education institutions will have not only to convey certain academic educational information, but to coordinate educational trajectories according to a training maxim in their lifetime that is hardly possible without understanding of basic mathematics.The aim of the present publication is to discuss methodological, culturological and didactic aspects of mathematical training of students of the pedagogical directions.Methodology and research methods. In the course of the work, the authors used the provisions and requirements of the new Federal State Educational Standards (FSES). The psychological and pedagogical framework of the research is based on the concepts of developing learning and upbringing, vocational and pedagogical orientation of training of future teachers and the idea of lifelong education. The analytical review and synthesis of the content of philosophical, mathematical, pedagogical, methodological literature and normative documents was conducted. The state of mathematical components of pedagogical education and its ways of fundamentalisation were considered according to the theory of training, comparative, culturological and system-based types of analysis.Results and scientific novelty. The authors note the imbalance between the fundamental mathematical preparation, which is relevant for a modern person, and the competency-based approach, which currently dominates in education and constraints to students’ holistic understanding of mathematical area of knowledge, even within the boundaries of a particular discipline. The situation is exacerbated by an avalanche distribution of information technologies. One of the negative consequences of this situation is replacement of meaningful learning of mathematics with “coaching” of school students and university students for formal test performance. To address these challenges, culturological educational models, which form common cultural ideas of modern mathematics according to the principle of a cultural conformity, have to be the predominant in education, but not competency-based attitudes focused on narrow specialisation. Mathematical modelling, discrete mathematics and computation processes are identified as the most significant components of a new stage of universal mathematical culture evolution. As a result of a digital era, general-education concepts have already become the key concepts of various sections of mathematics, therefore, it is necessary to start a general introduction to the study of these concepts at the stages of school education.It is highlighted that fundamentalisation of mathematical preparation plays the leading role in the development of logical and professional innovative thinking of students through the understanding of multifunctional structures and schemes (as means and knowledge methods) similar to mathematical structures and schemes. It is appropriately useful to include special courses into a variable part of the master’s programmes (according to education directions), implying students’ research activities: “Mathematical Modelling in Professional Education”, “Bases of Modern Mathematical Culture”, “Discrete Mathematics”, “Mathematical Bases of the System Analysis”, etc.The authors are convinced that the introduction of the concept of mathematical preparation, based on the culturological and system-based approaches, will help to resolve an apparent contradiction between, on the one hand, the necessary integration and fundamentalisation of knowledge acquired by students, and, on the other hand, the disciplinary dissociations of educational material, shortcomings of competency-based training and formal use of information technologies.Practical significance. The materials of the publication can be useful for future and practicing teachers of mathematics, computer science and related academic disciplines. Moreover, the present publication can be used by education professionals interested in improving the education quality.

Introduction. In the context of modernisation in modern education, a deeper (by contrast to interdisciplinary) transdisciplinary level of cognition is becoming prevalent. Transdisciplinary level generates a universal methodology capable of addressing the complex multi-factorial interdisciplinary problems of nature and society. The result is transdisciplinary branches of science such as cybernetics, disaster theory, synergetics, artificial intelligence, big data, etc. All these concepts have been developed on the basis of the achievements of mathematics over the past 70-80 years, the era of mathematical sciences. As a consequence, mathematics has become the basis of the language of information technologies and processes, and, thereby, this science has given rise to a global digital transformation of society based on the use of the unique computer capabilities.The aim of the present research was to explore the role of mathematics in the transdisciplinary trend in updating the content of education with a view to bringing education to a higher (by contrast to interdisciplinary) level, based on the inclusion of modern mathematical theories and methods in the content of education and their applications depending on the direction and profile of the student training.Methodology and research methods. In the course of research, the systemic, cultural, and meta-subject approaches were employed to analyse the role of mathematics in education and to solve the transdisciplinary problems of education content modernisation (based on the most striking manifestations of modern mathematical culture). As a result of the synthesis of these approaches, a holistic scientific worldview emerges, which not only goes beyond the traditional disciplines and methods, but also appears above them.Results and scientific novelty. The analysis of transdisciplinary trend in postindustrial education was carried out. Mathematical and pedagogical aspects of the implementation of systemic, cultural and meta-subject approaches were investigated in order to achieve a higher level of educational process. At the same time, the authors justified the use of mathematical modelling, discrete mathematics, computational processes and artificial intelligence in the training, i.e. formation of a new superdisciplinary way of thinking in students, acquisition of a general cultural cognitive strategy to perform professional and transprofessional tasks.Practical importance. The findings of the current publication contribute to the realisation of the transdisciplinary trend in the content of student training, and will be of interest to both educational theorists and teachers, who train students in many fields. Moreover, this work will be useful for all those interested in the future advancement of the system of education.

A significant leap in the development of information technology over the past twenty years has made the global legal community respond to new challenges that have come along with the progress in the digital environment. Together with the convenience of using electronic resources, society has developed a need for a simple and understandable legislative regulation of legal relations arising from the use of computer information technologies and various products of electronic digital activity in order to protect their interests potentially. The concept and types of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in different countries have different meanings. Meanwhile, the regulations of their procedural admissibility and applicability differ. The common thing is the tendency towards an increase in the use of electronic information carriers in court proceedings, increasing importance for establishing specific facts, and the decisive evidentiary role in making decisions by the court. India became one of the first countries to realize the growing level of implementation of Internet technologies, electronic digital storage media, and computer dominance in society and the state's daily life [1] (Artemyeva, Y.A. et al.). The consequence of this understanding was the timely development and implementation of the substantive and procedural bases in evidence law for practical, understandable, and convenient use of electronic evidence in civil proceedings. The article examines the types and procedural status of electronic evidence and analyzes the current legislation and law enforcement practice in the admissibility and application of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India. The study identifies the existing system of electronic evidence in the legal field of India, the determination of the advantages and disadvantages in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence by the court in civil proceedings, as well as the identification of the procedural order for their provision. The researchers have identified the following tasks to achieve the goals: • to define and research the legislation of India governing the concept, types and procedural order of applicability and admissibility of electronic evidence in civil proceedings in India; • to develop a particular procedural order for the effective use of the institution of electronic evidence in civil litigation in India; • to identify the current trends in the gathering, presentation, research, and evaluation of electronic evidence in India's courts, based on the established judicial practice study. The research methodology is based on general theoretical and scientific methods of cognition, including abstraction and specification, analysis and synthesis, modeling and comparison, and systemic, logical, and functional analyzes. The scientific novelty of the research consists of a comprehensive study of the instruments of legal regulation of the institution of electronic evidence in India's legal field, including regulatory legal acts and judicial precedents, and a consideration of the possibility of applying Indian approaches in the jurisdictions of other countries. The analysis of legislation and jurisprudence regarding electronic evidence in India's civil proceedings was carried out using the synergistic principle of object study, statistical-sequential analysis, and empirical research method. This study's results can be used in lawmaking to develop and improve regulations regarding the procedural status and use of electronic evidence in civil litigation in any country. The reference, citation, and use of this article's conclusions and materials are permissible when conducting lectures and seminars on civil procedure and private international law, research activities, law enforcement practice, and teaching.

In this article, the authors argue that there is no such thing as the knowledge society. Like many others authors, they claim that the fundamental transformations of our time can be typified as the end of the national ‘industrial society’ and the move towards some kind of global society dominated by the production and use of knowledge. They argue, however, that these transformations not necessarily produce a convergence of national and regional socio-economic structures. In industrial society two types of knowledge were dominant: ‘technical knowledge’ and ‘social knowledge’. In our time, the growing diverseness of individual and group identities produced by reflexivisation, globalisation and the advancement of information technologies calls for the development and application of a new type of knowledge: ‘cultural knowledge’. They analyse the consequences of the increased significance of cultural knowledge in the economic sphere in terms of the division of labour, and subsequently conceptualise three different types of knowledge societies: ‘the techno-cultural’, ‘the socio-cultural’ and the ‘socio-technical knowledge society’. Finally, they will portray three ‘categories’ of trailblazers of the knowledge societies, new professionals that perform ‘meta business functions’. These trailblazers directly or indirectly create new value chains by linking or destroying existing ones, and breaking up others in to pieces in order to create new combinations. These professionals, in other words, actively manage value chains.

The adult college student, caught between the competing demands of work and home, has recently become a valuable commodity in today’s fast-changing American universities. The authors argue that the response of the university to the personal circumstances and credentialing needs of adult learners, accentuated by the forces of globalization and the availability of new information technologies, particularly the Internet, has been to focus upon the efficient delivery of information deemed important in our post-industrial society. This response, particularly well exemplified by the virtual classroom, is not conducive to the fluid and open-ended inquiry associated with progressive education. In the end, the authors speculate, adult students may taste the true progressive and constructivist approaches to learning better outside the confines of formal higher education.

In most existing E-learning systems, activities' content and order are presented in a static manner without taking into consideration the learners characteristics, profiles or competencies. The challenge is to adapt and regulate learning processes according to the learner profile by applying learning models that use new information technologies. There are several adaptation approaches of E-learning environments, such as, adaptive hypermedia system, semantic web, etc. In our proposed system, we adopted a Competency Based Approach to offer each learner an individualized learning path for the acquisition of the competence targeted on the basis of the collaborative filtering. Concerning the technological aspect, the system is implemented as a web services while adhering to a service-oriented architecture. This allows interoperability with heterogeneous learning systems

With the transition to post-industrial society, a revolution in the business and technology has taken place. Innovation has begun to require a high level of training and rapid adaptation to the trends of the digital era, and in this regard, managers are in dire need of rapid training. Human capital has come to the fore, so consulting and outsourcing services have become quite popular and necessary tools for managing an enterprise. In the article we have explained the essence of the concepts of "outsourcing" and "consulting". We have considered the main motives of the management personnel, regarding the transition to outsourcing, ie delegation of certain business processes to an outsourced organization - the executor. We have learned that outsourcing services can be broadly divided into two parts: business process (both manufacturing and non-manufacturing) and outsourcing of IT services. Based on this classification, we have analyzed the world market and identified trends in the use of outsourcing by species in Ukraine. In our work we have identified the main types of consulting services and historical prerequisites for their development. Having analyzed the international rating editions, we have found out modern trends of consulting services, and analyzed the market in Ukraine. Much attention is paid to the general and distinctive features of outsourcing and consulting. The hypothesis of the effectiveness of consulting and outsourcing as an innovative tool of enterprise management is proved in the article. Keywords: outsourcing, consulting, IT outsourcing, business process outsourcing, accounting, management decisions.
