Introduction. The article presents the results of a survey of employees of the railway industry and volunteers of various professions on their attitude to the possibility of employment of women as a locomotive driver and assistant driver. The aim of study is to determine the socio-psychological aspects of allowing women to work as a driver and assistant driver of an electric train among employees of various professions, including in the railway industry. Materials and methods. Anonymous online survey conducted among 112 people: 60 women aged 29.9±7.9 years (from 19 to 55 years), and 52 men aged 29.6±8.4 years (from 15 to 53 years). Results. There is an ambiguous attitude to the prospects of allowing women to work as a driver and assistant driver of an electric train. The most urgent problems of an organizational nature that accompany changes in labor legislation are noted: the abolition of allowances "for harm", the increase in the retirement age, inconveniences in holiday homes that are currently designed exclusively for men. There are also positive prospects for these changes: the possibility of healthy professional competition and the emergence of new areas of professional growth for women, as well as increasing the prestige of OAS "Russian Railways" by creating an image of a company that provides candidates with equal rights regardless of gender. Conclusions. The appearance (although it would be more accurate to say "return") of women to work as drivers and assistant drivers is not a forced measure, as it was in wartime, but the result of the modernization of rolling stock and railway infrastructure, bringing to the fore the assessment of professionally important operator qualities, regardless of the gender of candidates. However, gender characteristics cannot be ignored in the socio-psychological context - for example, when recruiting locomotive crews with mixed composition or when creating a favorable psychological climate in a locomotive depot.

Introduction. The article presents the results of a survey on certain aspects that make up the image of motherhood in women of different professions, including students or working as an assistant to an electric train driver. The aim of study is to identify attitudes to motherhood in women of various professions. Materials and methods. Anonymous online survey. Results. The marital status of the respondents was distributed as follows: married - 31.03%; civil marriage - 20.69%; permanent partner - 13.79%; single, no partner - 34.48%. Of the 29 respondents, 27.6% are planning or have already linked their professional career with the position of an assistant driver. To the question "do you plan to become a mother" among them are all the answers, and with some probability it is possible to trace the dependence on age: the answers "has become" and "will soon" belong to women aged 30 years, whereas "long-term" or "no" at the age of 19-27 years. Conclusions. A woman's choice to work with harmful production factors does not mean that she refuses future motherhood. Most respondents have an ambivalent attitude to motherhood, which includes both positive and negative aspects.

The object of the study is the implementation of equality principle before the law by fixing equal rights and obligations of prisoners in the normative legal acts of the Soviet state. The subject of research: provisions of normative legal acts of the Provisional Government, departmental normative acts of the People’s Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR and People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the RSFSR. As a methodological basis for cognition, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, de-duction are used, which allow us to investigate aspects of legal reality directly related to the implementation of the principles of penal enforcement (correctional labor) legislation, to formulate reasonable conclusions. Private scientific methods: formal-legal and comparative-legal – allow us to identify differences in the legal regulation of the legal status of prisoners in the pre-war period. As a result of the conducted research, we make a reasonable conclusion that the principle of equality before the law, although it was not enshrined in specific norms regulating the procedure for the execution and serving of imprisonment, however, was manifested in the provisions regulating the legal status of persons deprived of liberty. The notions of equality before the law of both citizens in general and prisoners in particular were not the fundamental basis of the legislation of the Soviet State. Prisoners were differentiated on the basis of social affiliation, due to: 1) the principle of class approach proclaimed by the Constitution of the RSFSR; 2) the functioning of two systems of places of deprivation of liberty for prisoners with different social status; 3) regulating the execution (serving) of sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty by various regulatory legal acts.

The paper considers the issue of organization of control of electric power consumption by electric rolling stock by visualizing information on the monitor of the driver's console. With the correct analysis of information coming on board of the electric rolling stock, the train driver makes correction of the driving modes of the train in terms of energy efficiency. In this paper, to visualize information on the efficiency of power consumption by an electric rolling stock on the route, the authors propose using an indicator diagram using a green, white, and orange gradient. The variant of output of the final information on the efficiency of power consumption of electrical energy by an electric rolling stock both within the distances operated by the locomotive crews and within the hauls to the monitor of the driver's console is presented. One of the main advantages of using the technology of visual control of electric power consumption by electric rolling stock is the promptness of correction of decision-making on the rational use of energy resources, the identification of objective reasons for the overspending of energy, and the identification of reference results for the driving of trains. The prospect of development of the research topic is the approbation and implementation of the proposed technical and technological solutions in the production, which will reduce the specific consumption and unproductive electric power losses within the boundaries of the railway accounting zones.

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), designed to enshrine in the Constitution of the United States a guarantee of equal rights to women and men, has had a long and volatile history. When first introduced in Congress in 1923, three years after ratification of the woman suffrage amendment to the US Constitution, the ERA faced fierce opposition from the majority of former suffragists. These progressive women activists opposed the ERA because it threatened hard-won protective labor legislation for wage-earning women. A half century later, however, the amendment enjoyed such broad support that it was passed by the requisite two-thirds of Congress and, in 1972, sent to the states for ratification. Unexpectedly, virulent opposition emerged during the ratification process, not among progressive women this time but among conservatives, whose savvy organizing prevented ratification by a 1982 deadline. Many scholars contend that despite the failure of ratification, equal rights thinking so triumphed in the courts and legislatures by the 1990s that a “de facto ERA” was in place. Some feminists, distrustful of reversible court decisions and repealable legislation, continued to agitate for the ERA; others voiced doubt that ERA would achieve substantive equality for women. Because support for an ERA noticeably revived in the 2010s, this history remains very much in progress.

This research aims to investigate the elements that influence learners' enrollment in, completion of and dropout from Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). MOOCs attract a vast number of participants, with enrollments growing at an unprecedented rate; however, only a small number of students who enroll, complete their study. In this research, data were collected from 79 participants using an online survey. Professional growth, flexible time, free of charge, and the opportunity to obtain certification were recognized as the four main factors that directly influenced student enrollment in MOOCs. The motivational variables revealed in this study that led to the effective completion of MOOCs included good-quality course videos, straightforward and clear tutor instructions, good course delivery, and useful instructor feedback, among others. The most prevalent reasons for dropout included failure to fulfil the deadline, the instructor's vocabulary, challenging assignments, and difficulty in grasping the course content. The findings of this study can provide educators and decision-makers with the information they need to better understand the factors that influence MOOC student enrollment, completion, and dropout rates, as well as relevant actions to improve the success rates of MOOC.

Negative Factors

Rail transport plays a significant role in the life of the economic sector of the country. However, the existence of a significant number of negative factors violate the timing of the planned ways of its development. Among them, it is worth paying attention to the slow pace of adaptation of already adopted legislative initiatives, insufficiently substantiated taxation of services provided for the transportation of various goods and passengers (cross-subsidization) and problems arising from the transportation of privileged categories of citizens. Іncrease in the price of services provided, the presence of an inflation component, exchange rate fluctuations, etc. Despite the constant increase in the price of transportation services, the renewal of rolling stock and stationary railway transport is not carried out at a level that would help raise its quality level. This phenomenon is present in the operations of transportation of goods, luggage and passengers. There is a discrepancy between the growth rate of prices for rail transport services and their quality level. Among the additional negative factors should be noted the lack of funds for the renewal of rolling stock and its repair; inefficient financial planning and asset management of divisions; lack of working capital; low level of effective personnel planning and management; the threat of losing highly qualified employees, especially managers, due to reaching retirement age; lack of sufficient motivation for innovation and inventive activity; insufficient qualification of employees; possible resistance of personnel to organizational changes. There are also technical and technological problems. A significant part of the financial resources for the development of the domestic railway does not enter the process of cash flow formation due to the presence of corrupt actions carried out by individual representatives among the responsible persons. Representatives of the top management of the domestic railway must have an effective program of anti-corruption measures, but taking into account the legal framework that is already laid down in existing legislation. This study indicates the exacerbation of existing problems of the domestic railway, which requires immediate intervention at the macroeconomic and microeconomic level, as well as macro-legal and micro-legal level. The article reveals the problems of development of railway enterprises, determines the negative impact of corruption on its development, argues the need for anti-corruption measures that act as regulators of the development of the railway industry in the future. Outlines the content of the principles and substantiates the feasibility of their implementation in accordance with the Draft Law of Ukraine «On the Principles of State Anti-Corruption Policy for 2020–2024». Contains the author's proposal on the content of the conceptual categories «strategic anti-corruption intentions» and «anti-corruption event» and argues the benefits of their use by top management of the railway industry.
