Relevance and statement of a problem. Now processes of socialization of younger generation undergo profound changes. They are characterized by transformation of space-time characteristics – narrowing of the field purposeful, expansion of processes of spontaneous socialization. At the same time the methodological approaches and methods of a research aimed at the analysis of the static phenomena applied in pedagogics become insufficient for a research of chaotic processes. There is a need for search of methodology and methods of a research within which the analysis of processes of spontaneous socialization of modern children and teenagers is possible. Research search shows that the solution of this task is possible on the basis of nonclassical methodological approach. Research objective: identification of opportunities of nonclassical methodology for a research of processes of spontaneous socialization of the modern child. Research problems: representation of the methods in logic of nonclassical methodology aimed at the analysis of these processes. Object and subject of research: the situation of development of the child which is characterized by experiences concerning the relations and readiness for an exception of social interaction in various spheres of activity and immersion in the Internet environment. Subject domain of a research: complex of the relations which are the cornerstone of purposeful and spontaneous socialization of the teenager. Research methodology - nonclassical (anthropological) approach. Research materials. In the course of work on a problem the research methods based mainly on the individual and communicative practicians aimed at the analysis of experiences and communication of the child were developed. Results of a research. The qualitative methods based nonclassical approach will allow to understand not only experiences of the child, but also as negative trends under what conditions they lead to break in relations and to search of significant network contacts that is under what conditions processes of purposeful socialization are weakened collect in his social situation of development, extend borders of socialization spontaneous.

Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of political transformations in the CEE post-communist countries have been analyzed. The author argues that democratic transits do not guarantee transition to democracy and its consolidation. They are just polymorphic conversion processes from one political state to another, where the final destination is not always a democracy. They are influenced by general international factors, which allows us to consider the democratic transits, which may not consolidate into democracy, as integral components of the modern global democratic wave. Their real democratic value is not a definite variable. Political realities indicate that some of the transits proceed to illiberal democracy and hybrid regimes with different (non-) democratic features or often with versions of a new authoritarianism. In electoral democracies, only the external, formal sides of the democracy and democratic procedures are imitated, especially elections, which does not give grounds to relate these regimes to the democratic ones. Keywords: Post-communist countries of CEE, theoretical and methodological approaches, political transformation

This article aims to provide a review of published academic research on the competitiveness of retailers in the context of digitalization. The input was sourced from published works indexed in the Scopus base for 2000-2020. The analysis was conducted in four stages: topical trends; keyword research; citation analysis; content analysis of the most-cited published works. The findings helped to track the evolution of research in the analyzed domain and identify four stages (2000-2003, 2004-2010, 2011-2016, 2017-present time) by distinct variation of research activity and the scope of covered problems. The findings of this review can substantiate further development of methodological approaches to studying the competitiveness of retailers in the context of digitalization and can help researchers to make more justified choices of research problems and practitioners to navigate the complicated transformations of managing competitiveness in the wake of digitalization.

The aim of the research is to analyze the essence and structure of the research competence of a mathematics teacher. The study and analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature has shown that many authors, when defining the essence of the teacher's research competence, denote its integrity, dynamism, integrity, and integrativity. The research competence is considered as a characteristic, as a set of personality traits, as the ability to solve the research problems. The research competence of a mathematics teacher is a professionally significant quality, an integral part of pedagogical competence, an integral characteristic of the teacher's personality, a conscious willingness to engage in cognitive, research activities, the desire and need to lead it in pedagogical work. The methodological approaches to study the structure of the research competence of a mathematicsteacher were the personal, active, systemic, competence, axiological, procedural and technological ideas. The structural components of the research competence of a mathematics teacher are: motivational-value, cognitive, operational-activity, reflexive.

Der künstlerische Schaffensprozess repräsentiert ein Forschungsthema, das vielfältige theoretische und methodische Herausforderungen in sich birgt. So stellt sich zum Beispiel die Frage nach der epistemischen Dimension des künstlerischen Schaffens und ob die philosophische Untersuchung von Schaffensprozessen eine spezielle Wissenstheorie verlangt, die über die klassische Erkenntnistheorie hinausgeht. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden beide Fragen positiv beantwortet. Zugleich wird argumentiert, dass die philosophische Untersuchung eine rein begrifflich-theoretische Ebene überschreiten muss, weil die konkreten Schaffensprozesse auf diskrete Aspekte des Tuns hinweisen, die theoretisch anspruchsvoll sind. Daher ist die Auseinandersetzung mit methodischen Ansätzen unumgänglich, wenn es um eine Annäherung an die künstlerische Praxis geht. Sowohl die theoretischen als auch die forschungspraktischen Probleme zwingen also die Ästhetik zu einer stärkeren Verschränkung mit den empirischen Sozialwissenschaften und der Praxistheorie.<br><br>The process of artistic creation represents a research subject that involves diverse theoretical and methodological challenges. Thus, for example, the question of the epistemological dimension of artistic creation poses itself and of whether philosophical investigation of the processes of creation demands a special epistemology that goes beyond the classical theory of knowledge. In this article both questions are answered in the positive. At the same time it is argued that the philosophical investigation must go beyond a purely conceptual and theoretical level, because the concrete processes of creation point to discrete aspects of activity that are theoretically demanding. For this reason an analysis of methodological approaches is essential where it concerns an approach to the artistic praxis. Both the theoretical and the practical research problems thus compell aesthetics to a closer interleaving with empirical social science and the theory of practice.

Abstract. In the article, the authors propose a methodological approach to calculating the planetary cob-separating device used in corn harvesters and specialized headers. The dynamic characteristics of the planetary cob-separating device operation were investigated. The authors found out that the machine dynamics research problems are rather diverse due to the complexity of the dynamic processes occurring in them. The theoretical research methods prove to be of particular importance, since they make it possible to define the laws of machine unit motion, even at the stage of designing the planetary cob-separating device. (Research purpose) To propose a method for calculating the main kinematic and dynamic parameters of the vertical cob-separating device operation. (Materials and methods) The authors studied the methodological approaches and mathematical tools used to determine the main kinematic and dynamic parameters of the vertical cob-separating device operation; examined the scheme of a single-drum planetary cob-separating device in a corn harvester and built a differential equation of motion. (Results and discussion) After a step-by-step mathematical calculation with the use of the proposed methodological approach to studying the dynamic characteristics arising during the planetary cob-separating device operation, the following equations were obtained: starting the device at idle; starting the device with a load; feeding stems after starting the device; sudden interruption of the supply. When conducting the laboratory studies, it was determined that the cob-separating device showed the greatest effect at an angular speed of the drum within the range of 52.1-62.2 radians per second. (Conclusions) The authors considered four modes of the cob-separating device operation in a corn harvester and obtained the equations for them. The authors created a diagram of the vertical cob-separating device and proposed a methodological approach and an algorithm for calculating the main dynamic and kinematic indicators of its operation.

Objective: To verify how Knowledge Management (KM) is being associated with Smart Cities (SC) initiatives, through the analysis of the scientific production of both themes in indexing journals in the last 10 years. This article has three research questions: 1. What are the methodological approaches adopted to investigate research problems on KM in SC. 2. What are the research topics investigated on KM in SC? and 3. How is research on KM characterized in SC?Relevance/originality: This research analyzes how KM is associated with SC initiatives and proposes a research agenda on KM in SC.Methodology/approach: The method used was a semi-systematic literature review.Main results: The research found gaps concerning the adaptation of KM models in the context of SC, the selection of relevant variables for the analysis of KM in SC, the effect of KM on the results of SC initiatives, and how actions emerging issues of transparency and governance can influence or be influenced by KM.Theoretical/methodological contributions: The article builds an overview of the collaboration of two fields in evidence today. In addition to the analysis of all articles in the sample, which includes quantitative data, the authors bring a proposed research agenda with the aim of promoting the maturation of the theme. The main theoretical contributions are in the proposal of the prescriptive framework and the research agenda.Social/management contributions: In a context of excess knowledge, decision-making becomes complex. Thus, understanding how KM can act in the complex context of SC helps managers to visualize alternatives to problems, selection, and organization of knowledge that affect decision-making.

Abstract We identify the significance and typical requirements of developmental analyses of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) in parents, offspring, and parent-offspring relations, which have particular importance for neurobehavioral outcomes in mammalian species, including humans. We call for a focus on behavioral measures of social-emotional function. Methodological approaches to interpreting relations between the microbiota and behavior are discussed.
