Forecasting System

Starting the year 1996, energy strategies of Ukraine, one by one, before the completion of the next. In view of the implementation of forecasting indications of leather strategies, it is impossible. At the same time, the obtained reference values did not coincide with the projected. Where to find the reasons for such "results of implementation" strategies? In the methods and tools of forecasting, management of ways and mechanisms for implementation, socio-economic and geopolitical turbulence, in the global financial and economic crisis? Or, in principle, the impossibility of knowing the future (at a sufficiently remote time interval)? An overview of conceptual approaches to forecasting the future is given and the impossibility to predict the future is emphasized. The risk of unpredictability of its development and such a complex sector of the economy as energy. With geopolitical turbulence, with a radical change in the socio-economic system in the country, accompanied by a downturn in the economy, including production in the fuel and energy sector, at any time stage in the implementation of the energy strategy, bifurcation points may appear in the vicinity of which small fluctuations of external influence will sharply increase and indicators forecast in strictly time intervals may become slightly realized, and scenarios for the development of the fuel and energy complex may change. For some indicators, there may be a good match, for others - acceptable, and for a number of indicators - a significant discrepancy with forecasts. The main task is to determine the range of values of key indicators and trends in the development of energy and its individual industries. It was emphasized that the problem of the quality of energy forecasting is not sufficiently developed, since there are no established criteria by which one can objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a given forecasting system. There are well-established criteria by which one can objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a particular forecasting system. Despite the lack of objective criteria for assessing the quality of predictive tools, at present systemic forecasting of energy as an integral part of the triad: energy-economy-ecology is generally accepted and is used in leading energy countries. Propositions regarding the need for the super water pipeline in Ukraine in 2017 are involved in the strategy of operational documents - operational plan-forecasts (road maps) for managing and monitoring the implementation of the strategy for promotional projects in 2014, in the disciplines, in the disciplines.

Analysis Of Dynamics

The article considers the role of trust in the economy, the mechanisms of its accumulation and the possibility of using it as one of the growth factors in the future. The advantages and disadvantages of measuring the level of generalized trust using two alternative questions — about trusting people in general and trusting strangers — are analyzed. The results of the analysis of dynamics of the level of generalized trust among Russian youth, obtained within the study of the Institute for National Projects in 10 regions of Russia, are presented. It is shown that there are no significant changes in trust in people in general during the study at university. At the same time, the level of trust in strangers falls, which can negatively affect the level of trust in the country as a whole, and as a result have negative effects on the development of the economy in the future. Possible causes of the observed trends and the role of universities are discussed. Also the question about the connection between the level of education and generalized trust in countries with different quality of the institutional environment is raised.

Strategic Goals

Over the most recent decades corporate reporting has proved to be essential to achieving the strategic goals of humankinds and the ever-increasing necessity of truthful information and transparency. Corporate reporting is a socially significant process and practice. The quality of corporate reporting reflects the degree of relevance of the manner enterprises and businesses communicate with the surrounding world and environment (natural or industrial) and millions of people concerned – societies, present and future generations, employees, workers, and many other people, and other living beings. On most authoritative international scientific forums – symposia, conferences, congresses, assemblies, summit meetings and events, conducted in Europe and worldwide, it is pompously declared that corporate reporting should provide useful and reliable information both financial and non-financial one. The responsibilities of accountability and stewardship seem out to be of great importance to the fulfillment of the strategic goals of our centuries.The belief of the author is that the simultaneous analysis of the global problems challenging humankinds such as climate changes, destruction of biological diversity on the Planet, the matter of the necessity of actions of creating Green Ethics and Green Economy worldwide, the increasing need for combined and well-coordinated efforts in the combat supporting the eradication of poverty globally, and the relevance of corporate reporting to solving these unique problems the mankind is facing, would highlight and confirm their intricate interrelation (the key aim of the present research), consequently rendering the debate on the future of corporate reporting more meaningful and constructive. The debate would most probably promote the standpoint we personally maintain, which is also endorsed by an increasing number of supporters in Europe and around the world, implying in particular that apart from a process of unification and reduction of essential differences in the international financial reporting, what is also necessary is the radical change in the philosophy and culture of corporate reporting and presentation. Undeniably, it includes revealing of the financial state and the substantial effects and impacts of the businesses operating activities in a straightforward manner, as complete insights and understanding of the broader and far-reaching goals to which the corporate reporting must be subordinated – at present and in the long-lasting future.

AbstractOne does not read far or engage in a discussion about the complexity of the modern world without sensing an evolutionary vision which reflects the thought of Teilhard de Chardin. College students who are introduced to the Teilhardian vision respond in positive and creative ways. Teaching such a course reveals insights into young people's reaction to the present and future implications of a high-tech society. In an age of increasing control over the forces of nature by human-kind, crucial questions emerge. Two concerns attract students to Teilhard: fear of the future in terms of the direction and quality of human life; and an interest in the relationship between religion and science, which indicates substantive attitudes of a younger generation toward faith in God. Whether there is agreement with Teilhard is not the question, but the fact that he has pressed us to face the issues.

The Subject

The success of modern transformational changes in public life depends crucially on the quality of professional training of future professionals. In this view, under conditions of reforming the Ukrainian society, a social significance of a competent specialist is extremely growing. An important area of transformational changes is the training of future teachers on a competence basis, which is conditioned by qualitative features of the competence-based paradigm in the context of modern socio-economic and spiritual development of society, changes in the nature and content of work, complexity as well as increasing requirements to performance results, on the one hand; and on the other hand – by the need to more quickly overcome the negative phenomena occurring in the system of training future professionals. The modern labour market, above all, provides for the presence of a professionally competent worker who is fluent in the profession-centred assignments and well-oriented in related fields, ready for continuous personal growth, social and professional mobility. These requirements can be fully applied to the training intended for the future teachers. At the same time, since the future specialist of any profession begins with the school, namely "the school stands for their teacher", the solution of these complicated problems depends entirely on the teacher, the quality of his / her training. As the teacher’s professional activity under conditions of the New Ukrainian school is filled with qualitatively new content, conditioned by the new demands of the society, the professional requirements to the training of the future teacher are significantly strengthened. This outlines a radical change in approaches to the process of professional training intended for future teachers. This is the general pedagogical core of this training that is important, because it deals with the equipping of students with knowledge of the basics of pedagogical theory and school practice, the development of professional thinking, the developed pedagogical skills and abilities to implement social functions alongside the subject component of the professional development aimed at mastering the logic of deploying the specifics of the content. Based on the understanding that each subject, including Biology in particular, is a means of developing the student's personality; the problem of forming future Natural Science teachers’ subject competence in Biology is becoming extremely important. This also requires the expansion of scientific knowledge about the structure of originality, in particular the subject competence in Biology under conditions of the bachelor courses, where basic higher education is obtained.

The formation of creative personality is of particular importance in the context of socio-economic transformations in the modern world. At the same time, the strategic task of reforming education in Ukraine is the comprehensive development of the individual, the disclosure and realization of his creative and spiritual potential in various activities. Contemporary socio-cultural trends necessitate the development of a child's creative potential. Developing their abilities during training, the child retains the creative nature of attitude to any business that is absolutely necessary in society. That is why the future teacher should create favorable conditions for the development of creative abilities of each student, as well as – strive for continuous self-improvement. In the process of vocational training, the student should be ready to develop creative professional abilities. Thus, creative pedagogical activity is a manifestation of a person's quality, which is reflected in his quality of work, his activity. Due to the change of potential and real quality, there is an increase in the quality of a person, his professionalism, skill. In the proposed article the author proves the necessity of forming creative pedagogical activity in a new generation of future teachers. The relation between the terms «pedagogical skill» and «creative pedagogical activity» has been clarified. The basic scientific approaches to formation of creative pedagogical activity of the future teacher are investigated. Theoretical foundations of the study of the phenomenon of creative pedagogical activity, which reveal its essence as the tops of professional skill of the teacher, are considered. The importance of the teacher's creative pedagogical activity in the modern educational process is determined.

Introduction. Prognosis of root canal treatment is highly dependent on the quality of endodontic space obturation. The main task of successful root canal treatment is to achieve adequate reparation processes in the apical periodontium. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of root canal obturation using the method of gas (argon) penetration through three different endodontic materials. Material and Methods. Thirty recently extracted human single-rooted teeth after root canal instrumentation were divided into three identical groups and obturated with three different endodontic materials: group I - GuttaFlow (RSA, Germany), group II - AH Plus (DeTray, Germany), group III - Acroseal (Septodont, France). The quality of root canal obturation was evaluated using the method of gas permeability. Results. The best results were obtained with GuttaFlow. The average penetration rate of argon was 186.7 seconds. Slightly higher gas porosity had AH Plus, 179.9 seconds, while the highest gas permeability was observed after the application of Acroseal, 178.5 seconds. However, there was no statistically significant difference in gas penetration among these endodontic materials (p>0.05). Conclusion. All three endodontic materials showed gas permeability in a given time interval. The best quality of obturation was achieved with GuttaFlow, while the lowest quality was obtained with Acroseal.

The future of the modern world faces the appearance of different ways of mobility. Huge strive in today's world have gained autonomous vehicles. The paper explains how autonomous vehicles function as well as their advantages and disadvantages. New developments in autonomous vehicles are being accomplished and introduced to the user's demands. Many car companies have developed their own driverless vehicles and detected the problems within them. The major flaw of autonomous vehicles is cyber security because hackers are still able to break into the car's software system and disrupt it. This is a major issue which is still being dealt with. Autonomous vehicles have modernized the mobility of people, which means that people no longer have to come to the vehicle but the vehicle comes to them and are able to share transportation and thus lowering the traffic congestion and cost. Smartphone applications have been developed facilitating the carsharing system. Users consider these cars comfortable and stylish but expect high level of security. Autonomous vehicles enable the elderly, the disabled and physically limited people move much easier. Furthermore, autonomous vehicles reduce pollution and are environmentally friendly. It is anticipated that autonomous vehicles will take over the roads and are the future of transportation. They offer comfort, safety and good driving conditions. Hereafter, this paper represents important characteristics and features of autonomous cars.

The article is devoted to the problems of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of research work. These problems are being actualized under the globalization influence of the formation of an innovative economy, which requires adequate financial support for research, education and other innovative factors. The quality of scientific activity has become one of the criteria for success in the modern world. Finding criteria for determining effective domestic research, taking into account the needs of national economic development in the face of increasing challenges of global competition, is extremely relevant. Improving the reliability of the quality of research results will stimulate innovation, creative search and productive use of its results. The article analyzes and generalizes the advantages and disadvantages of approaches to assessing the quality of research results. The advantages of scientometric evaluation (citation index, Hirsch index, impact factor) of scientific activity, productivity and progress include ease of use, low cost of assessment, as well as the ability to conduct it at the level of individual researchers, teams, organizations, countries and regions. It is proved that in order to activate innovative processes in the economy and to make full use of the potential of science in the process of technological modernization of the Ukrainian economy, it is necessary to combine quantitative and qualitative approaches to assessment. Applying only quantitative (scientometric) estimates will not produce the expected results. The problem of objective assessment of the quality of work of a researcher goes beyond the simplified formal scientometric indicators. This approach does not allow for high objectivity to evaluate the scientific result. Therefore, to evaluate the performance of researchers, it is proposed to use the dynamics of the quantity and quality of the content of the scientific result (innovation, generalization, validation and durability of the results) and expert judgment (the level of solving the research problem, or the usefulness of the obtained scientific results). Proposed changes to the provisions of the Concept of reforming the system of financing and management of scientific and technical activities and a plan of measures for its implementation. It is concluded that a comprehensive and targeted approach will help to create appropriate prerequisites for state support and ensure the development of innovative factors for the growth of the national economy.

Постановка задачи. Для решения сложных проблем в области дорожного строительства главной задачей в области научных исследований является на сегодняшний день формирование и развитие региональных дорожных научно-исследовательских институтов или научно-исследовательских дорожных лабораторий. Результаты. Рассмотрены достоинства и недостатки двух методологий на пути повышения качества и долговечности основных конструктивных элементов автомобильных дорог (земляного полотна и дорожных покрытий), учитывающих множество основных и второстепенных факторов. Одна из методологий достаточно хорошо известна и обеспечивает на сегодняшний день требуемый уровень качества асфальтобетона за рубежом в рамках системы Superpave. Вторая методология основывается на реологическом подходе к совершенствованию технологий уплотнения дорожно-строительных материалов и известна дорожникам пока еще мало. Выводы. Установлено, что развитие первой методологии научных исследований у нас в стране весьма затруднительно, а второй - вполне доступно и реально на базе сформированных региональных научно-исследовательских дорожных организаций. При этом концепция их формирования определяет существенные преимущества применения второй методологии. Statement of the problem. To solve complex problems in the field of road construction, the main task in the field of scientific research, which can easily and adequately develop with obtaining real results, is currently the formation and development of regional road research institutes or, in extreme cases, research road laboratories. Results. The advantages and disadvantages of two methodologies for improving the quality and durability of the main structural elements of roads (subgrade and pavement) are considered taking into account many primary and secondary factors. One of the methodologies is quite well known and presently provides the required level of quality of asphalt concrete abroad within the Superpave system. The second methodology is based on a rheological approach to improving the technology of compaction of road-building materials and little is known to road builders. Conclusions. It has been established that the development of the first methodology of scientific research in our country is very difficult, and the second is quite affordable and feasible on the basis of the formed regional research road organizations. Moreover, the concept of their formation determines the significant advantages of using the second methodology.
