The purpose of this research is to assess the role of cognitive variables on intention to entrepreneurial behaviour of engineering undergraduates in engineering undergraduates in Sri Lanka. Entrepreneurship is one of the key drivers of an economy. Individuals with entrepreneurial mind create wealth and majority of jobs in the economy. Entrepreneurship for engineers is not new to the world. Recent changes in the world and engineering present both challenges and opportunities to engineering education. Engineering education is changing to meet these challenges. Instilling an entrepreneurial mindset in undergraduate engineers is essential if we want the bright young talent to innovate and then productize those innovations to better mankind. A study was conducted with the sample of 202 final year undergraduates in engineering faculties in Sri Lanka. Exploratory Factor Analysis, Multiple Regression and Structural Equation Modeling were applied with use of SPSS and AMOS to analyze the relationships of these variables. The results reveal that Entrepreneurial Cognition have significant positive associations with entrepreneurial mindset of engineering undergraduates and there are significant associations between Arrangement, Willingness and Ability with the entrepreneurial Mindset and Entrepreneurial mindset with Intention to entrepreneurial behaviour.

Bubble Behaviour

The fining process may be enhanced by acting of additive force on bubbles in the glass melt. This study deals with behaviour of single bubbles under effect of centrifugal force in a rotating discontinuous cylinder with glass melt. The model of a single bubble in the combined gravitational and centrifugal field has been set up and calculations of bubble behaviour in the cylinder have been performed for the model TV glass. Two mechanisms of bubble separation were indicated from results of calculations, i.e. the complete dissolution and separation by centrifugal force. The first mechanism is restricted to areas close to cylinder mantel and exhibits relatively long bubble dissolution times. The analysis of model and results revealed the potentially positive role of increasing cylinder radius and partial filling of rotating cylinder with glass melt. The bubble separation is considerably influenced by bubble dissolution or growth during centrifuging, thus the crucial role in this process plays temperature and the bubble initial composition. The until now results show that at lower temperatures the bubbles should contain low content of gases well soluble in glass, to admit higher rotation velocities. Whereas to be enabled the transport of chemically soluble gases from the melt into the bubbles at high temperatures, the bubbles have to be treated at lower rotation velocities (ω =25 – 50 s-1). The small bubbles tend to dissolve close to the cylinder mantle, but from other cylinder regions they have to be separated by centrifuging, and this is a very slow process. Some pretreatments of the glass melt is considered to get rid of bubbles having size under 0.1 mm.

Актуальность представленного в статье исследования обусловлена заметным снижением мотивации к педагогической профессии у студентов, обучающихся в настоящее время на педагогических направлениях подготовки, о чем свидетельствует статистика трудоустройства выпускников, и необходимостью поиска педагогическим сообществом эффективных путей повышения уровня мотивации к профессиональной деятельности у будущих учителей. Авторы статьи рассматривают такой способ повышения мотивации будущих педагогов, как педагогическая стажировка, на примере многолетнего опыта участия в зарубежной педагогической стажировке одного из региональных вузов. В статье кратко представлены результаты анкетирования 42 студентов, обучавшихся на педагогических специальностях и направлениях Псковского государственного университета и участвовавших в зарубежной педагогической стажировке в разные годы, начиная с 1991 года. Обобщенные результаты исследования могут послужить ориентирами в процессе теоретической разработки и дальнейшего практического внедрения в учебный процесс такой формы профессиональной подготовки будущих педагогов, как зарубежная педагогическая стажировка в онлайн-формате с целью повышения их мотивации к будущей педагогической деятельности. The relevance of the research is accounted for by a noticeable decline in students’ motivation to choose a teaching career. The statistics shows that graduates of pedagogical universities choose not to work as teachers. Therefore, the teaching community should elaborate efficient means to motivate novice teachers to pursue their teaching career. The authors of the article believe that teaching internship is an effective motivational technique. They investigate the role of teaching internship at the example of a regional university. The article presents the results of a questionnaire which involved 42 novice teachers who studied in Pskov State University and participated in teaching internships (starting with 1991). The results of the research can be used as guidelines for internship curriculum development and implementation and will serve to improve students’ motivation for choosing teaching as a career.

Set Up

Building on previous literature that provides extensive evidence concerning flows of knowledge generated by interfirm agreements, in this article, we aim to analyze how the occurrence of such collaborations is driven by multidimensional proximity among participants and by their position within firms’ networks. More specifically, we assess how the likelihood that two firms set up a partnership is influenced by their bilateral geographical, technological, organizational, institutional, and social proximity and by their position within networks. Our analysis is based on agreements in the form of joint ventures or strategic alliances, announced over the period 2005–2012, in which at least one partner is localized in Italy. We consider the full range of economic activities, which allows us to offer a general scenario and to investigate specifically the role of technological relatedness across different sectors. The econometric analysis, based on the logistic framework for rare events, provided three noteworthy results. First, all five dimensions of proximity jointly exert a positive and relevant effect in determining the probability of interfirm knowledge exchanges, signaling that they complement each other rather than function as alternative channels. Second, the highest impact on probability is due to technological proximity, followed by organizational, geographical, and institutional proximities, while social proximity has a limited effect. Third, we find evidence concerning the positive role played by networks, through preferential attachment effects, in enhancing the probability of interfirm agreements.

The Covid 19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the importance of digital HEI teaching. The digitisation of a course of study poses many challenges for teachers. This paper presents the results of a survey of lecturers at the DHBW (Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University). Challenges and opportunities were examined in order to derive recommendations for good digital teaching for the future. This paper is based on three pillars: (a) recommendations for good online teaching, (b) a list of the institutional support requirements, and (c) a foresight on the future of digital teaching. In summary, it can be seen that teaching concepts have changed fundamentally as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. While some courses have been converted to online frontal teaching, other formats promote the self-learning process of students by emphasising self-study, with teachers moving away from the classic role of knowledge mediators and increasingly acting as coaches. This can be seen as an effort to make the best possible use of the new conditions created by the pandemic in order to move higher education teaching from pure knowledge transfer to competence transfer. The aim of the present analysis is to promote the digitization of courses in the long term and to make lasting improvements. The results should help teachers to design their courses efficiently and in a way that is appropriate for the target group and to improve the quality of teaching in the long term.

The University

The article analyses a regional university as a social institution on the example of the case of the Ingush State University. A general description of the university is given. It is shown that a regional university in modern conditions as a social institution acquires special significance both as a scientific institution, and as the main element of the regional educational space, and as a center of an innovative economy. The Ingush University focuses on continuing professional education, that includes pre-university training, secondary vocational education, higher vocational education at various levels, as well as postgraduate and additional vocational education. Opportunities for obtaining secondary vocational and higher education for socially vulnerable segments of the population are expanding. The university is one of the largest employers in the region, therefore, the article emphasises its role in solving the problem of graduates employment. The university provides opportunities for stable employment for representatives of the highest qualifications, who otherwise would not have been able to find an occupation due to the peculiarities of the structure of the depressed regional economy. In addition, the conditions for the development of small innovative enterprises are being formed at the Ingush State University. The driving force behind this process is the Engineering Center, a supplier of a sorbent with a high sorption capacity to the Russian market. The centre is aimed at a long-term solution of problems in the development of modified sorption materials that are used in a wide range of industries, including medicine and agronomy, to eliminate environmental pollution as a result of oil spills, to purify wastewater from various organic substances. The culture-creating role of the university in the space of regional culture is multifaceted. The university, on the one hand, is part of the world cultural and educational community, on the other hand, it works to preserve, develop and spread the culture of the regional peoples. The article analyses the integrative function of the university in the creation and support of a single educational and cultural space as an important condition for state unity and sustainable development of our multinational country. The role of the rector's personality in solving the problems facing the regional university in modern conditions is emphasized.
