Conceptual frameworks and principles of CDIO approach in the context of modernization of engineering education are considered. The correspondence between CDIO approaches to the description of learning outcomes and competency-based approach is analyzed. The direction of the implementation of CDIO approach for other specialties is specified. The possibilities of design of  interdisciplinary educational programmes are considered. Approaches of  the using of CDIO in economics and management education are considered.By studying the research of foreign authors, we have found several attempts to adapt the CDIO approach to the needs of economic education. The common motive for such activities, which researchers emphasize, is to enhance the relevance of economic education in the context of further professional activities and to improve the quality of vocational training through the development of design skills and  general competencies related, inter alia, to  project management, work in multidisciplinary teams, communication and collaboration . The difficulties encountered by the researchers include the low level of knowledge of teachers and the management of OHS about the possibilities of the CDIO approach, which complicates the implementation process. Overcoming this is possible through the organization of joint projects for students of different specialties, trainings and internships for teachers of non-engineering specialties.

AbstractQuality of educational services is highly dependent on competent teachers. Thus, the competency-based framework for teacher education has become an important issue across Europe. This approach in Europe has greatly reflected in the field of adult learning and education. There are five research projects dedicated to identifying competences of adult learning facilitators, involving regional countries or all the Member States of the European Union. Based on the results of the five research projects, this paper has a twofold aim: 1) to describe those research projects and their identified competences for adult learning and 2) to analyse the common competences identified by all the five research projects. The distinct scopes of teacher's competences and teaching competences are offering the framework for analysis. We found ten common competences that are particularly relevant to teaching roles of adult learning facilitators in Europe. Moreover, the analyses revealed that adult learning facilitators need to possess teacher competences that are relevant to institutional administration. Our conclusion is that there are common competences for adult learning facilitators which are relevant to both teaching and teacher competences.

Linguistic Phenomenon

The article deals with the non-equivalent vocabulary in socio-political texts of the 18th century. The interest to this type of vocabulary is growing (especially in translation and linguoculturology): every year there are more and more works studying non-equivalent vocabulary with national-cultural specificity of meaning in various resources: fiction, textbooks, press, dictionaries. However, these studies are carried out on the texts of the 19th-21st centuries. In this article, we for the first time analyze this vocabulary in the artistic texts of the 18th century. The authors of the texts (the research materials) are well-known historical figures of the period: Catherine II, M.V. Lomonosov, V.N. Tatishchev, V.K. Trediakovsky, A. Matseevich, P.A. Plavilshikov. The main criterion for text selection was the level of knowledge of non-equivalent vocabulary in them. It is for the first time when identification and description of non-equivalent vocabulary was held in socio-political texts. The purpose of this research is to identify, describe and analyze non-equivalent words in the texts. The practical significance of the research is in the fact that its results can be used in classes of Russian as a foreign language, when compiling dictionaries of non-equivalent vocabulary or linguistic and regional dictionaries, when translating the source texts into foreign languages and making comments. The theoretical significance of the research is in the fact that its results became the basis for further research of non-equivalent vocabulary with national-cultural specificity of meaning. As a result of the research, there were identified the quantity and quality of non-equivalent words. The discovered non-equivalent words were classified into several thematic groups: household items, titles, military vocabulary, social groups, etc., and into types of non-equivalent vocabulary: words-realities, lacunae, exotisms, deviations from the common language norm, etc. In order to have a complete picture of this linguistic phenomenon, it is necessary to make wider the chronological and genre framework of the research material in the future. It is possible to use not only texts of the 18th-21st centuries as a source, but also texts of earlier periods; it is necessary to use not only works of fiction, dictionaries, press, but also to research sociopolitical texts: documents, scientific works, letters.

Abstract ObjectiveEntrusted Professional Activities (EPAs) are increasingly being used in competency-based medical education approaches. A general lack of time in clinical settings, however, prevents supervisors from providing their trainees with adequate feedback. With a willingness for more administrative tasks being low in both trainees and educators, the authors developed a radical user-friendly mobile application based on the EPA concept called “Surg-prEPAred”.DesignSurg-prEPAred is designed to collect micro-assessment data for building competency profiles for surgical residents according to their curriculum. The goal of Surg-prEPAred is to facilitate the performance and documentation of workplace-based assessments. Through aggregated data the app generates a personalized competency profile for every trainee. During a pilot run of 4 months, followed by ongoing usage of the application with a total duration of 9 months (August 2019 to April 2020), 32 residents and 33 consultants made daily use of the application as a rating tool. Every rating included knowledge, skills and professional attitudes of the trainees. Before the initiation of the App and after the 9-month trial period trainees and supervisors where both sent questionnaires to evaluate the user friendliness and effectiveness of the App. Results510 App based assessments were generated. Out of 40 pre-defined EPAs, 36 were assessed. 15 trainees and 16 supervisors returned the questionnaires and stated the surg-prEPAred App as very valuable, effective and feasible to evaluate trainees in a clinical setting providing residents with an individual competence portfolio to receive precision medical education. ConclusionsThe authors expectation is that the Surg-prEPAred App will contribute to an improvement of quality of medical education and thus to the quality of patient care and safety. In the future the goal is to have the App become an integral part of the official Swiss surgical curriculum accepted by the Swiss professional surgical society.

State Of Affairs

In the conditions of intensification of various aspects of human life, the training of specialists who meet the needs of society and the state is of particular importance. The professional profile of a lawyer, according to the normative documents, assumes as an obligatory component of le-gal competence the ability to reasonably and clearly construct oral and written speech, as well as to carry out written and oral communication in Russian. Expressiveness of speech is an inte-gral element of these competencies. However, as practice shows, the culture of speech of specialists in the field of law cannot be considered sufficient, which clearly indicates a contradic-tion between the official requirements for specialists in this field and the real state of affairs. It occurs mainly due to the relatively low level of knowledge on the issues of achieving expressive-ness of speech, as well as due to ignoring this requirement as a component of the communicative culture of a lawyer. The revealed discrepancy determined the purpose of the work, the essence of which is to consider expressiveness as the quality of speech of lawyers, from the standpoint of its essential characteristics, as well as methods and conditions of implementation. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the current definitions of the concept of “expressiveness of speech” was carried out, which made it possible to substantiate the following: the expressive speech, subject to the condi-tions imposed on it, is definite, consistent, substantiated, understandable and expressive. To achieve expressiveness in a public legal environment, various tropes are used (comparison, metaphors, epithets, personifications, and others) and figures of speech (antithesis, anaphora, epiphora, repetitions, inversion, and the like). Theoretical and empirical study of the literature, corresponding to the selected problem, made it possible to conclude that knowledge of the essential features of expressiveness as a quality of speech and mastery of the methods of its implementation, under certain conditions, allow a lawyer to increase the efficiency of communication in professional activities.

The Impact

The relevance of the problem is due to an increase in the number of complaints about the quality of taxi companies, an increase in the number of road accidents involving taxi cars, conflicts in the taxi driver – passenger system, and the lack of a professional taxi driver standard in Russia, despite the extremely dynamic development of this sector and the first place by the mass driver’s profession over the past fifteen years, which indicates the need to develop effective psychological programs education whose introduction in training drivers megalopolis taxis could lead to minimize these negative aspects of the current state of the taxi service. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to develop a possible version of such a program, its testing and diagnostics for the effectiveness of the formation in taxi drivers of a megalopolis of methods of social interaction with passengers and the management of a taxi company, reducing the level of conflict tension and general mental stress in the framework of their professional work. The leading research method for this problem is the experimental method, which allows evaluating the effectiveness of the impact of psychological education on the psychological characteristics of taxi drivers, affecting the organization and effectiveness of their professional work. The article presents the author’s developed program for the psychological education of megalopolis taxi drivers and the results of its application in practice, which indicate a decrease in the level of perception of the conflict between the taxi driver and the participants in their labor interpersonal interaction, and an increase in the level of knowledge of drivers about the characteristics of problems in professional activities. Article materials may be useful for personnel of taxi services organizations engaged in the selection of taxi drivers and their advanced training.

Background.Question about the quality and format of postgraduate education of doctors raises increasingly in recent years. Development of professional standards and transition to a system of continuing professional education have allowed professional communities to raise issues of the quality of modern education but there is no clear evidence of the dependence of the level of education and the quality of medical care in the accessible literature. Experts of Research and Practical Center of Medical Radiology carried out the identification of dependence of post-graduate education length for radiologists and the quality of their work that can serve as a rationale for amending the system of doctors training.Patients and methods.The data on education and actual work of 85 radiologists of out-patient and in-patient units of medical organizations of the Moscow Healthcare Department have been analyzed. According to the results of the audit of diagnostic studies, carried out in the “Unified Radiological Information Service” system by the specialists of the Research and Practical Center of Medical Radiology, the final assessment of the work of each radiologist was formed, which reflects the presence or absence of diagnostic discrepancies.Results.Parameters of diagnostic errors depending on the age of doctors, the general length of service and the length of service as radiologist, the duration of postgraduate education in the clinical specialty and the specialty “radiology” have been compared.As a result of the analysis, it was found that the increase in the proportion of diagnostic differences is directly related to the increase in the age of the doctor and does not depend on either the length of service or the time of work in the specialty. Differences between the groups of physicians with the largest (professional retraining after clinical residency) and the smallest (clinical education + radiology) percentage of clinically significant discrepancies are statistically significant (p = 0.05, at the normative value of the Student's test score of 2.16).Conclusion.The inverse relationship between the duration of training of the radiologist in the specialty and the proportion of diagnostic errors, which can serve as a significant justification for making proposals for the exclusion of professional retraining within 576 hours for admission to professional activities of radiologists.

Subject. The study addresses the improvement of risk management efficiency and the quality of lending decisions made by banks. Objectives. The aim is to present the bank management with a fair algorithm for risk management motivation on the one hand, and the credit management (business) on the other hand. Within the framework of the common goal to maximize risk-adjusted income from loans, this algorithm will provide guidelines for ‘risk management’ and ‘business’ functions on how to improve individual and overall efficiency. Methods. The study employs the discriminant analysis, type I and II errors, Lorentz curve modeling, statistical analysis, economic modeling. Results. The paper offers a mechanism for assessing the quality of risk management decisions as opposed to (or in support of) decisions of the lending business when approving transactions. The mechanism rests on the approach of stating type I and II errors and the corresponding classical metric of the Gini coefficient. On the ‘business’ side, the mechanism monitors the improvement or deterioration of the indicator of changes in losses in comparison with the market average. Conclusions. The study substantiates the stimulating ‘rules of the game’ between the ‘business’ and ‘risk management’ to improve the efficiency of the entire business, to optimize interactions within the framework of internal competition. It presents mathematical tools to calculate corresponding indicators of the efficiency of internally competing entities.

The aspiration to keep the synergy in relations between majorities and minorities repeatedly emerges as the cause of conflicts in social relations. It is also a subject of the interest of the multicultural education, particularly in countries of Eastern Europe, building contacts with the culturally and ethnically diverse groups to a wider scale. Relations in culturally, religiously and ethnic diverse societies, are becoming more and more related to the personal attitudes and a given policy. These issues acquire in the prison circumstances even greater significance, as given moods and personal attitudes of the prison staff create the pragmatic aspects of the professional activities addressed to the sentenced. Additionally, the key role is played by the quality of the penitentiary policy and the legal culture. The article presents the comparative analysis of the research carried out in 2016 amongst the prison staff in Poland. The subject of the research concerned attitudes that influence the decisive processes. The personal relations have been analyzed in the context of the relation with the sentenced Muslims. The aim of the research was not only to reveal the quality of the decisions concerning the sentenced Muslims, but also the sources of such decisions. The latter, in consequence, may shift, as the research results prove, towards synergy or discrimination. The diversification of the discrimination was one of the intriguing aspects, disclosed at various levels that not always explicitly concerned the discrimination of the minority.
