The main historical periods of the scientific school of applied geometry of the Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture are presented. The main three stages of the formation of the school are considered - from the beginning of the creation of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics to the present. Today, the scientific school of applied geometry of the KNUSA has many unresolved tasks and current problems. In recent years, the number of people wishing to defend candidate and doctoral dissertations has decreased significantly. In accordance with this, the work of the department in training young scientists has decreased, the number of graduate students and doctoral students has decreased. In addition, despite the fact that applied geometry is applied science, it is quite difficult today to establish ties with production, to introduce into production the latest results of scientific work of graduate students and applicants. Therefore, the main task of the department today is to preserve the traditions of the scientific school of applied geometry of KNUBA. The further work of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics of KNUBA will be aimed at ensuring that the scientific school does not cease to exist, but continues to develop and expand.

  The creation of a school on applied geometry at the National University of Bioresources and Nature Management of Ukraine is associated with the names of the so-called prof. Obukhova Violetta and prof. Rozov Seraphim. Thanks to these outstanding personalities, the Department of Drawing Geometry and Mechanical Engineering of the Ukrainian Agricultural Academy (the old name of the department and university) became widely known in the former Soviet Union. Members of the department annually honor the memory of prof. Obukhova V., hold a scientific and practical conference «Obukhov Readings». Now the conference has acquired international status and is held by order of the rector of the university. The conference is attended by teachers from Kiev universities, from universities in other cities, scientists who had to work with V.S. Obukhova or listen to her lectures, being students, doctoral students, graduate students. The development of the school is evidenced by the fact that over the past 15 years, 15 PhD theses have been defended by former graduate students of the department. Some of them are working on doctoral dissertations. Today, the scientific school was headed by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of Pilipakа Sergey. Under his leadership, 17 master's theses and 3 doctoral dissertations were defended. It should be noted that the range of scientific research of the school representatives is quite wide. Many publications focus on bending surfaces based on the invariability of the expression of a linear surface element. The main area of research is geometric modeling of technical forms and automation of their design. In the field of view of scientists - the design of unfolding surfaces, as a bypass single-parameter set of planes, the location on the surfaces of geodetic lines and their design according to a given curve, which should be a geodetic line for the surface and interpolation of a point series in plane and space.

The article is devoted to the analysis of interdisciplinary humanitarian studies and the 30th anniversary of the scientific school established by the Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Professor, Doctor of Art History Tatyana Semenovna Zlotnikova. Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University, where the well-known Russian scientific school of cultural studies was born, is also home to the World of the Russian Province Research Center, the Dissertation Council, and several journals reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission. Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is the founder and scientific leader of these institutions. The success of scientific work is measured today as a global scientific demand, and practical significance for its local space. Scientists from the best research centers in Russia participate in annual "Yaroslavl conferences", grant projects and publications. Yaroslavl cultural projects involve all age and professional levels: from students, undergraduates, postgraduates to doctoral students and professors. However, even with the mass audience, Professor Zlotnikova and her students are talented at building a dialogue. This article deals primarily with the methodology and publishing genres put forward by the Yaroslavl Scientific School of Cultural Studies: an analysis of the creative personality, the concept of Russian mass culture and a fundamentally new textbook on cultural studies. The publications of Professor T. S. Zlotnikova and her colleagues on these problems have a significant heuristic potential, are of high practical significance and have been awarded numerous grants. On the one hand, the 30th anniversary of the Yaroslavl scientific school of cultural studies is a phenomenon of scientific life; on the other hand, the analysis of topical problems of cultural studies based on the material of the multigenre editions of Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is a methodological and research work

Abstract This article offers suggested guidelines for graduate students who are embarking on informatics doctoral studies and anticipating the dissertation research and its documentation. Much of the guidance is pertinent for writing dissertations in other disciplines as well. The messages are largely directed at doctoral students, but some elements are also pertinent for master’s students. All are relevant for faculty research advisors. The value of the dissertation is often underestimated. Too often it is seen as a hurdle to be overcome rather than an opportunity to gain insight into one’s own research and to learn how to communicate effectively about it. Ideas that have been ill-formed often do not gel effectively until one tries to write about them. The main lesson is that the preparation of a carefully crafted, rigorous, logically evidence-based, and influential dissertation can be remarkably rewarding, both personally and professionally.

The article shows that the period from 1918 to the beginning of the 1930's was characterized by considerable efforts in the cause of the birth and advancement of historical Ukrainian studies at the Katerynoslav University, and later in the Katerynoslav (Dnipropetrovsk) Institute of Public Education (DIPE), as the first institutional forms of the Oles Нonchar Dnipro National University. It was emphasized that the central figure of that period was Academician D. I. Yavornytsky, who laid the foundations for a Ukrainian school of science, and rallied around him a number of professors, like-minded professors, post-graduate students and students. The activity of the People's Academician in the field of historical Ukrainian studies was closely linked with other areas of Ukrainian studies and contributed to the development of Ukrainian historical memory, consciousness and culture. The rise of authoritarianism, and then totalitarianism in the policies of the ruling Soviet-communist regime, led to the curtailment of Ukrainization, the intensification of ideological and political harassment and repressions against a number of professors, young scholars, postgraduates and students. Disclosed as having lost the opportunity to conduct scientific and pedagogical work at the DIPE, D. I. Yavornytsky did not stop creative contacts with staff and graduate students of the institution, using up to the early 1930's various forms of cooperation within the framework of the Dnipropetrovsk Research Department of Ukrainian Studies at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (UAS), the Dnipropetrovsk regional historical-archaeological museum, the Dnipropetrovsk Scientific Society under the UAS and the DniproGES archaeological expedition. It was emphasized that after 1933 the further progress of the Dnipropetrovsk scientific school of Ukrainian studies and its important direction - historical Ukrainian studies - was interrupted under the conditions of the Stalinist totalitarian regime.

The article is devoted to the main milestones of the formation of the scientific and teaching career of a famous ukrainian historian in the field of international affairs, specialist in the variety problems of modern USA, doctor of history, long-time head of the Department of Modern and Contemporary History of Foreign Countries of the Faculty of History of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv – Borys Mykhailovych Honchar (1945–2015). He continued the tradition of the scientific school of historians of international relations, which was formed at the Department of New and Modern history of the developed capitalist countries in the second half of the twentieth century. In its origins stood P. Udovychenko, V. Tarasenko, V. Biletskyi and others. The main place in his scientific work was occupied by works on the history of the US foreign policy in last third of XXth – beginning of XXIth century. His first publications and theoretical thesis (1974) were devoted to the analysis of US Mediterranean policy under the administration of R. Nixon. Borys Honchar was one of the first in national historical science, who systematically examined the impact of regional conflicts on the Soviet-American confrontation during the Cold War. His doctoral thesis (1994), a monograph and more than 20 scientific articles were devoted to this topic. However, his scientific interests were much broader. His research work has been extensive in the history of international relations before and during the First World War, including in the context of the American attitude to the «conflict in Europe». In particular, the course of his lectures was devoted to this topic, which he delivered to students of History faculty for 40 years. The students’ positive feedback was also about his course in lectures on the history of American-Russian relations. Notable place in B. Gonchar’s scholarly work has taken various aspects of the UN’s activities, including its peacekeeping and humanitarian missions, and the US influence on its work. The scholar has paid great attention to the work on numerous articles on international and American topics for the «Ukrainian Soviet Encyclopedia» and «Ukrainian Diplomatic Encyclopedia». In general, most publications on American studies or international relations, published in Ukraine in the 1990s and 2000s, were in his co-authorship or review.

Purpose This study aims to explore how graduate students in the social sciences develop reading and note-taking routines. Design/methodology/approach Using a professional socialization framework drawing on grounded theory, this study draws on a snowball sample of 36 graduate students in the social sciences at US universities. Qualitative interviews were conducted to learn about graduate students’ reading and note-taking techniques. Findings This study uncovered how doctoral students experienced the shift from undergraduate to graduate training. Graduate school requires students to adopt new modes of reading and note-taking. However, students lacked explicit mentorship in these skills. Once they realized that the goal was to enter an academic conversation to produce knowledge, they developed new reading and note-taking routines by soliciting and implementing suggestions from advanced doctoral students and faculty mentors. Research limitations/implications The specific requirements of the individual graduate program shape students’ goals for reading and note-taking. Further examination of the relationship between graduate students’ reading and note-taking and institutional requirements is warranted with a larger sample of universities, including non-American institutions. Practical implications Graduate students benefit from explicit mentoring in reading and note-taking skills from doctoral faculty and advanced graduate students. Originality/value This study uncovers the perspectives of graduate students in the social sciences as they transition from undergraduate coursework in a doctoral program of study. This empirical, interview-based research highlights the centrality of reading and note-taking in doctoral studies.
