The purpose of this article is to analyse the interaction between the dynamic information environment (IE) and the operational environment to promote the cooperation of the higher education institution with business life and enhance the external impact of the institution on its environment. The dynamic IEs are analysed to manage the information systems and internal processes in an educational institution and their cooperating partners. This article is organised as follows: The article introduces the approach of IEs and operational environments. Then the concept of a dynamic IE is used to analyse the information systems used in the core internal processes of the higher education institution. The study also describes the partnership in a dynamic IE. Thereafter, a short case study is presented about partnership using the electronic Optima platform at the Turku University of Applied Sciences (TUAS). Finally, the results of the study are summarised in the concluding section.

This study examined age-related differences in the use of dynamic acoustic information (in the form of formant transitions) to identify vowel quality in CVCs. Two versions of 61 naturally produced, commonly occurring, monosyllabic English words were created: a control version (the unmodified whole word) and a silent-center version (in which approximately 62% of the medial vowel was replaced by silence). A group of normal-hearing young adults (19–25 years old) and older adults (61–75 years old) identified these tokens. The older subjects were found to be significantly worse than the younger subjects at identifying the medial vowel and the initial and final consonants in the silent-center condition. These results support the hypothesis of an age-related decrement in the ability to process dynamic perceptual cues in the perception of vowel quality.

The paper describes the main trends in the development of BIM technologies in the field of restoration and reconstruction of historical and cultural heritage buildings. The practical part of the paper presents the experience in using information modeling technologies when restoring the building, where the VI Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in Moscow took place. The use of laser scanning technologies made it possible to reproduce with high accuracy in the information model the original appearance of the building using Autodesk RevitR software. It is shown, how the use of information modeling technologies affects the duration of restoration process, taking into account the calculation of the structural scheme and bearing structures of the building, ensuring the identity of the decoration and the effective organization of electromechanical installation. Operating in a single BIM information environment makes it possible to continuously obtain reliable information on the project, which provides more effective information interaction and communication of participants compared to using traditional design methods.
