The article continues a series of studies devoted to the actual problem of increasing sports effectiveness and the growth of  professional longevity of highly qualified athletes – members of  Russian national sports teams. Not contradicting the methodological  foundations of research of sports activities, the authors propose a  solution to the problem of psychological and pedagogical support of  professional success in sports of higher achievements. The research  is based on the systemic anthropological psychology and the theory  of human self-realization. The subject of this study is the  peculiarities of the stability of the lifeworld in athletes with various  levels of professional success. The paper features a comparative  analysis, the results of which clearly illustrate the specific features of the manifestation of the lifeworld stability in athletes with various levels of professional success. It was empirically proved that  the high degree of life-world stability and the constructive nature of  its manifestation are the psychological conditions for the optimal  combination of processes of achieving high athletic results and  maintaining a high level of mental adaptation. It determines the  sustainability of the lifeworld as a systemic psychological  characteristic responsible for the effective professionalization in the  sport of higher achievements. This allows the authors to conclude  that the program of psychological and pedagogical support  introduced in this paper will probably improve sports effectiveness  and mental adaptation of athletes, contributing to the growth of their professional longevity.

At the present stage of development of economic relations, the economic security of enterprises is of particular importance. The stability of business development and prosperity depends on its stable and safe state. It guarantees not only the current operation of the enterprise, but also its development in the future. And the level of economic security at the enterprise is directly dependent on the effective management of managers, on the highly qualified work of specialists and their ability to avoid possible threats, identify and determine them in advance, and eliminate their consequences that affect the internal and external environment of the enterprise. Threats to economic security are the most specific form of negative impacts that affect an enterprise, which may result in a deterioration of the enterprise's condition. In other words, threats represent the highest degree of danger of unsatisfactory consequences that appear after the enterprise reaches the risk stage. For continuous operation of the enterprise, it is necessary to conduct a comparative analysis and make forecasts for the future, identifying possible threats to economic security, as well as crisis situations and negative factors of the enterprise's life. The unpredictability of threats to economic security and their consequences as a result of economic activity can lead to undesirable results, irreparable damage, and even bankruptcy. Therefore, in order to effectively ensure the efficiency of the enterprise, to guarantee a high level of economic security, it is necessary to identify threats in advance and periodically implement their comparative analysis. In this regard, the research topic is relevant.

The traditional quadcopter control systems should deal with two common problems. Namely, the singularities related to the inverse kinematics and the ambiguity linked to the quaternion representation of the dynamic model. Moreover, the stability problem due to the system nonlinearity and high degree of coupling. This paper provides a solution to the two issues by employing a geometrical integral-backstepping control system. The integral terms were added to improve system ability to track desired trajectories. The high-level control laws are considered as a virtual control and transmitted to the low-level to track the high-level commands. The proposed control system along with the quadcopter dynamic model were expressed in the special Euclidean group SE(3). Finally, the control system robustness against mismatching parameters was studied while tracking various paths.

The article is devoted to the study of the features of the volitional component of the personality’s psychological security and its impact on the professional success of extreme physicians. The results of the study of resuscitators and ambulance physicians (70 people, average age 47.9 years) show that a high level of volitional self-regulation is combined with such strong-willed qualities as perseverance, self-control, self-government, as well as self-control in various spheres of life. Professional success of physicians at the stage of “middle maturity” is characterized not only by a high level of development of personal, psychological and professional qualities, formed skills, effectiveness of medical manipulations, but also by high degree of self-efficacy in the fields of activity and interpersonal. The higher the level of volitional self-regulation of physicians, the higher the effectiveness of their activities according to expert assessments and self-efficacy in the field of activity. All physicians, regardless of the level of volitional self-regulation, have a high level of self-control in the emotional sphere and self-efficacy in the field of interpersonal relations, as well as well-formed professional skills and abilities.

"Staying at the peak of professional success in medical is possible only for a doctor who is characterized by psychological health. The human life-world stability is contributed to success of the life self-fulfillment and transference of abilities inherent in him (human) into reality. The study sample is represented by 354 future doctors. Of these, 154 future doctors were characterized by psychological health. Qualitative analysis showed that future doctors who are characterized by psychological health are more inclined to analyze their own life deficits “here and now”. Often, such an analysis culminated in the realization of the possibility of approaching problems and difficulties, finding a different meaning. Usually assessed as “negative” or “stressful” events during the analysis were reformatted as events of a new experience. They are the basis for expanding the behavioral repertoire. It has been established that a high degree of human life-world stability and its constructive nature are the psychological conditions for the optimal combination of processes to achievement consistently high performances and maintain psychological health by future doctors."

Chapter 4 constitutes the core comparative data chapter presenting two novel datasets. The first compares budgeting procedures in twenty-two UN organizations, with a focus on the actors involved and the timelines prescribed by formal rules and drawing also on previous analyses on UN budgeting from the 1980s and 2000s. The second dataset reveals, with few exceptions, a high level of routinization of budgeting procedures in the UN system. This finding is based on the analysis of the timing of budget proposals and budget adoptions in twenty of the twenty-two UN organizations included in the first dataset. Both the stability of budgeting procedures and the routinization of budgeting, even in times of a global financial crisis, run against theoretical expectations. Four organizations (UN, ILO, UNESCO, WHO) with highly routinized budgeting procedures are selected (studied individually in Chapters 5–8) to better understand the causal mechanism identified in the theoretical chapter.

Symbiotic relations and range of host usage are prominent in coral reefs and crucial to the stability of such systems. In order to explain how symbiotic relations are established and evolve, we used sponge-associated barnacles to ask three questions. (1) Does larval settlement on sponge hosts require novel adaptations facilitating symbiosis? (2) How do larvae settle and start life on their hosts? (3) How has this remarkable symbiotic lifestyle involving many barnacle species evolved? We found that the larvae (cyprids) of sponge-associated barnacles show a remarkably high level of interspecific variation compared with other barnacles. We document that variation in larval attachment devices are specifically related to properties of the surface on which they attach and metamorphose. Mapping of the larval and sponge surface features onto a molecular-based phylogeny showed that sponge symbiosis evolved separately at least three times within barnacles, with the same adaptive features being found in all larvae irrespective of phylogenetic relatedness. Furthermore, the metamorphosis of two species proceeded very differently, with one species remaining superficially on the host and developing a set of white calcareous structures, the other embedding itself into the live host tissue almost immediately after settlement. We argue that such a high degree of evolutionary flexibility of barnacle larvae played an important role in the successful evolution of complex symbiotic relationships in both coral reefs and other marine systems.

Urgency of the research. The transition to the market in Ukraine led to changes in the sphere of economic relations, which are characterized by a high level of instability. Signifi-cant changes that have occurred in recent years have also created new threats to the domestic economy, necessitating the diagnosis of Ukraine's financial security. Target setting. The welfare of each state primarily de-pends on the stability of its financial system, which is provid-ed through the timely diagnosis of its threats and response to them. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The issues of financial security of the nation, as an economic component, the principles of the formation of a system for ensuring financial security were revealed in the works of domestic and foreign scientists, namely in the works of A. Baranovsky, V. Geyets, M. Yermoshenko, J. Zhalilo, B. Karpinsky. A. Sukhorukov, A. Shevchenko and others. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. In the conditions of cyclical economic fluctuations, which are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, it is of acute necessity to diagnose the financial security as a component of the state's economic security. The research objective. The purpose of the article is to conduct a diagnosis of Ukraine's financial security and identi-fy the threats that affect it. The statement of basic materials. The article analyzes both the dynamics of integral indicators of the components of financial security by the methodology of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine for 2013 – 2017 and the dynamics of financial security indicators by the methodology of the Na-tional Institute of International Security Problems of Ukraine from 2013 to 2017, as well as distinguishes their shortcom-ings. There is proposed a system of measures to increase the level of financial security of the enterprises in Ukraine. Conclusions. Diagnostics of the level of financial security is a complex process of identifying, analyzing, eliminating and forecasting the emergence of internal and external threats to the state. Diagnosis of the components of financial security is the basis for developing a set of measures to counter threats and improve the level of protection of Ukraine.

This paper presents an evaluation of the work of the Commonwealth of Learning’s (COL) eLearning with International Organisations (eLIO) section. Participants in the investigation included a representative sample of the learners (<em>N</em> = 15), their supervisors (<em>N</em> = 5), and the COL staff, including all of the eLIO staff (<em>N</em> = 10). The methodology consisted of an examination of all relevant documents, interviews that formed a learning history, and a sample survey. The investigation concluded that the eLIO achieved its goal of developing a distance learning model, and it met or exceeded identified objectives, with a high degree of satisfaction expressed by all participants. This included teaching +2000 satisfied learners; partnering with eight international organizations; achieving a 62% female participation rate and a high completion rate (75%) in the courses provided; testing, piloting, and delivering two new elearning courses; conducting needs analyses; recruiting/training highly qualified tutors; monitoring; and using appropriate technologies. Shortcomings of the programmes include the lack of pre- and post-tests, little analysis of pricing structures, some unclear instructions (a need for plain English), unclear copyright licensing, only very limited use of available OER software, and the absence of a succession plan for the manager. Based on the high level of satisfaction among all participants, it was recommended that the section maintain its present work and address these shortcomings.

Today, in any area, one can observe signs of labor precarization, which are the result of any changes (crisis, pandemic, etc.), both positive and negative. One of these changes concerns, first of all, the social and labor sphere, where the key player is the employee with his attitude to work. That, in turn, influences the formation of human resources. For example, a positive attitude towards any changes in the environment can lead to the formation of powerful potential with a highly qualified workforce and vice versa. The work clearly presents the results of a comparative analysis of the "ideal" and "average" portrait of a scientific and pedagogical worker (SPW) according to the data of job portals on the labor market of the Sverdlovsk region, as well as the results of a survey by the SPW of three Ural universities. The aim of the work was to study the influence of precarious conditions not only on the portrait of modern teaching staff, but also on the personnel potential of universities. The object and subject of the study were the scientific and pedagogical workers of Russian universities and the conditions for the precarization of scientific and pedagogical work (respectively). Proceeding from the goal, the following tasks were set: first, to study the approaches to the concept, content and conditions of labor precarization in scientific works of Russian and domestic authors; secondly, to carry out a comparative analysis of the “average” and “ideal” portraits of the SPW; thirdly, to assess the personnel potential of Russian universities and the level of satisfaction of the teaching staff in precarious working conditions. Based on the results of a comparative analysis of portraits and a survey of the teaching staff, a portrait of the modern teaching staff was obtained. Assessment of job satisfaction made it possible to determine the dependence of survival in precarious conditions due to the high level of involvement of the teaching staff in scientific and pedagogical work. Based on the results of the work, the author proposed an assessment and use of the potential of student youth in order to attract them to scientific and pedagogical activities, taking into account the behavioral roles of the teaching staff that are established in modern conditions.

Informatization of education has been going on for 30 years. During this time, a good material and technical base appeared in schools, there are repositories of e-learning resources to which teachers have access. However, it is difficult to use these e-learning resources due to their too large number and not always high level. It is advisable to introduce a system of reviews and recommendations, to conduct a comparative analysis, as well as to make reviews of resources on a particular subject/topic. In addition, the demand for e-learning resources is affected by the fact that education authorities encourage not so much the use of e-learning resources as their development by the teacher himself. In general, the load on teachers has increased instead of the promised saving of time and effort when using the e-learning resources. At the same time, many e-learning resources are not very effective, since they do not meet the requirements of cognitiveness (they contribute not to learning, but to simple memorization of the material). It is necessary to explore the process of learning new material: this will allow you to create cognitive e-learning resources and other resources that would help you with equal probability to successfully acquire new knowledge for students belonging to different psycho-types. At the initial stage of the study of any subject, it is more expedient to use the usual “paper” method, that is, a textbook and not overload the student’s brain with excessive information. Only when he has mastered the basic provisions, we can turn to e-learning resources, bearing in mind that they must be cognitive, that is, they are aimed at logical perception and rapid intuitive learning, only in this case e-learning resources can be considered effective. The conclusion is formulated that cognitiveness is the next stage of informatization of education after the stage of electronization.
