The article analyzes scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concept «smart-specialization». It investigates the specifics of smart specialization in the European Union (EU). National/regional innovation strategies for smart specialization RIS3 must be based on four «Cs» smart specialization principles – Tough Choices and Critical mass; Competitive Advantage; Connectivity and Clusters; Collaborative Leadership. The article emphasizes «the entrepreneurial discovery process» which includes entrepreneurial actors, researchers and the remainder of society as innovation users in addition to public administration. The reasonability of defining the term «smart specialization» in the Law of Ukraine «On Innovation Activity» as innovative approach aimed at realization of unique combination by state planning documents of competitive advantages of corresponding area and innovation development activity. To realize planning strategy for regional development in Ukraine on smart specialization principles, this article proposes to amend: the Law of Ukraine «On the Priority Directions of Innovation Activity in Ukraine» (Article 4), which should establish the Strategic Priority Directions of Innovation Activity in 2021-2030 for national, sectoral and regional stages as a basis for state-funded priorities under state planning documents on smart specialization; the Law of Ukraine «On principles of State Regional Policy» with specification of state regional policy priorities on state, regional and local stages; European smart specialization practices; determining exclusively by this Law of the algorithm of design, coherence, approval and implementing of State Strategy for Regional Development, regional and local strategies for development on smart specialization principles; compiling of a publicly available national multistage info-analytical platform for electronic verification of state planning documents.

This chapter explores whether community culture and personality traits are associated with entrepreneurial activities. It seeks to consider the importance of personality held at the individual level and culture held at the group level. This allows the connections between the foundations of the behavioural model of regional development—community culture and personality—and activities associated with the regional development to be explored. It further explores the extent to which human agency plays a role in determining the nature of entrepreneurial endeavours. Following an examination of behavioural micro-relationships at the individual level, the analysis then moves on to examine evidence of the relationship between human agency and differing forms of regional development. It focuses on traditional economic measures of development including GDP and unemployment, but also considers inputs and outputs from innovation and the entrepreneurial environment required to generate high-road regional competitiveness.

Smart Specialization

It is argued that the European practice of smart specialization is based on partnerships between business, government, scientific and technical institutions, and the public for the development of key sectors of specialization in the region aimed to stimulate intellectualization and digital transformation of regional economies. The shortcomings of the processes of intellectualization and digitalization of regional economies in Ukraine are identified, in particular, in the following aspects: the number of new technological processes introduced in industrial enterprises, the level of the Internet use, export and import of telecommunications, computer and information services. The results of the content analysis of strategic and program documents related to the innovative development of certain sectors of the economy adopted in Ukraine in the period 2013-2020 are summarized. Perspective goals and tools of regional strategies of smart specialization in the focus of a new vision of Ukraine's development are identified. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the substantiation of the system and tools of regional strategies of smart specialization in the focus of new perspectives of innovative and digital development of Ukraine differentiated for the regions that are innovation-oriented, partially innovative, and backward in terms of innovation. Accordingly, with such an approach it is possible to achieve higher efficiency of the state policy for intellectualization and digitalization of regional economies within the strategy of smart specialization of regional development. The practical significance of the research is that the implementation of selected tools of the regional policy will result in the intensification of the processes of intellectualization and digital transformation of regional economies and society in Ukraine. Implementation of own smart specialization strategies by regions of Ukraine will not only increase regional competitiveness, create new jobs and improve the quality of life, but also draw additional financial resources for regional development, including priority sectors of the economy, by increasing investment attractiveness.

Problem setting. In the context of integration into the international economic system and modification of the factors of competitiveness of the national economy, the regions of Ukraine present new opportunities to apply effective innovative mechanisms and tools to stimulate regional development. Smart specialization is a stimulating innovative approach which, through the implementation of a system of specific measures, should promote the development of regional potential, including innovative. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The research of the issues related to the implementation of regional smart specialization is mainly devoted to the work of economists, among which are the works of J. Brzuszk and J. Pika, T. Bresnakhan, D. Van Ark, O. Berezina, O. Yatsyuk. Article’s main body. Smart specialization is an innovative EU tool for building regional capacity through two key approaches, in particular local conditions and the knowledge economy. In practice, this approach involves identifying the competitive advantages and assets of the region, utilizing its innovative and scientific potential. However, success in implementing smart specialization can only be achieved through effective collaboration and synergy between local government, business, academia, and civil society. The key benefit of smart specialization at the regional level is to increase its competitiveness, ensure the effective use of innovation potential and innovation activity, since the availability of innovation in today’s globalized world is an important factor for economic growth. Conclusions and prospects for the development. The application of the new smart specialization methodology to the strategic planning process in Ukraine should contribute to the efficiency of the processes of developing appropriate strategies and management of innovation processes in the regions, the development of innovations in certain sectors of the economy, the increase in the level of innovation and investment activity and investment attractiveness of the regions.

The article considers the main aspects of F. Nietzsche’s philosophy concerning the issues of conceptualizing the values, content and principles of modern education. The idea of the relationship between universal education and culture is essential in the work of the philosopher. It reflects the function of education both in a universal aspect as a translator of culture and culture-making mechanism, and in an individual dimension, taking into account the purpose of an educated person to be a link in the chain of culture, to be a cultural microcosm which is isomorphic to the cultural “macrocosm” that is to be the heritage of different eras. The idea of the spiritual unity of educational institutions with cultural heritage is in harmony with the pedagogical principle of cultural conformity that is the correspondence of education to culture and the history of the nation. The concept of superhuman implies the principles of continuity of education and self-education, integrity and succession, humanization as a value self-determination of an individual and recognition of his rights to be independent. The ideas of the philosopher correlate with values of creative type pedagogical culture and with “integrative” line of pedagogical knowledge formation. The philosopher treated utilitarianism, narrow empiricism and specialization in education and scientific knowledge to be barriers for the development of creativity, freedom and energy potential. Thus, Nietzsche’s philosophy is relevant for understanding the content of a number of principles for reforming modern education, specifically humanitarian ization, individualization, cultureconformity, continuity of education and self-education, integrative and succession, integrativity and creativity.

Introduction. The modern, rapidly changing world needs specialists with creative thinking skills, who are able to show rapidity, flexibility and originality in solving complex and extraordinary problems. When a specialist finds himself in such a situation where he faces extraordinary problems, he does not know how to solve them and is at a loss. It is impossible to acquire creative thinking skills without preparation. Therefore, a student, a future specialist, must be taught these skills. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that without developing students' skills such as analysis, synthesis, abstract, associative and combinatorial thinking, selective comparison, generalisation of information, system vision, assessment of ideas, the ability to ask right questions, to visualise and to draw conclusions, it will be difficult to further develop creative thinking in students.Aim. The aim of the study is to discover the relationship between various types of thinking and creative thinking, to determine the types of thought operations and the list of prerequisites that precede creative thinking, which will contribute to the formation of creative thinking in students.Methodology and research methods. General logical reasoning methods and some scientific research methods were applied. The phenomenological method was employed to understand the process of creative thinking. Based on the determination of the main parameters and properties of each type of thinking, it became possible to model the process of creative thinking activity, to investigate this mental process and draw certain conclusions. The use of the explanatory method also makes it possible to substantiate the need for the following prerequisites for the formation of creative thinking.Results and scientific novelty. Based on the analysis, it was discovered that various types of thinking are related to creative thinking, the types of thought operations were determined and a list of prerequisites was proposed. The list of prerequisites includes the following types of thinking: positive, synergetic, associative, abstract, visual, algorithmic, divergent, lateral, Janusian, questioning style, combinatorial, intuitive, systemic, and critical. The research results show the importance and necessity of prerequisites for creative thinking and also determine the trajectory of creative thinking activity.Practical significance. The research results can be useful for teachers of higher educational institutions with the aim of applying them in the learning process.

SummaryWhen the International Normalised Ratio (INR) is used for control of oral anticoagulant therapy the same result should be obtained irrespective of the laboratory reagent used. However, in the UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme (NEQAS) for Blood Coagulation INRs determined using different reagents have been significantly different.For 18 NEQAS samples Manchester Reagent (MR) was associated with significantly lower INRs than those obtained using Diagen Activated (DA, p = 0.0004) or Instrumentation Laboratory PT-Fib HS (IL, p = 0.0001). Mean INRs for this group were 3.15, 3.61, and 3.65 for MR, DA, and IL respectively. For 61 fresh samples from warfarin-ised patients with INRs of greater than 3.0 the relationship between thromboplastins in respect of INR was similar to that observed for NEQAS data. Thus INRs obtained with MR were significantly lower than with DA or IL (p <0.0001). Mean INRs for this group were 4.01, 4.40, and 4.59 for MR, DA, and IL respectively.We conclude that the differences between INRs measured with the thromboplastins studied here are sufficiently great to influence patient management through warfarin dosage schedules, particularly in the upper therapeutic range of INR. There is clearly a need to address the issues responsible for the observed discrepancies.
