The article provides solutions on the basis of which the motivation and mood of employees can be monitored using IT and topicality of developing a similar information system for motivating students is substantiated. Based on the tasks of the subject area, the requirements for the developed information system are formulated. To determine the motivation associated with the psychological model, Vladimir Yudin’s model used in the pedagogic process was chosen as the base one. The system should calculate the indicators of the student's qualities and, on the basis of the transition rules, determine the likelihood of belonging to the psychological type, and also give recommendations on the formation of motivation. Monitoring student motivation will help determine the list of activities in the university that contribute to the development of competences for each type of student. The article presents the developed user interfaces of the system to demonstrate its capabilities.

Broad Approach

This book provides a bibliography of a wide scope of British and Irish post-graduate theses of maritime economic and social history. Its intent is to make these informative, under-utilised texts more accessible for scholars, in response to the deep expansion of subject as a historical discipline. It aims to keep these texts, often unpublished, from lapsing into obscurity. The author takes a broad approach to the subject area, including strands more particular to science than the humanities, and history as recent as the year of publication, intending the resource to be as comprehensive as possible, and of maximum use to present and future scholars. The material is primarily gathered and cross-referenced from Roger R. Bilboul’s Restrospective Index to Theses of Great Britain and Ireland 1716-1950, the ASLIB Index, and the Institute of Historical Research of the University of London. Each entry comprises Surname, Thesis Title (truncated for length where necessary), Degree Awarded, Awarding Institution, and Date. The database comprises 2500 entries, subdivided into twenty-five sections concerning:- the shipping business and all commercial/mercantile aspects of operation; exploration, cartography, and navigation; shipping and shipbuilding technologies; docks and harbours; maritime labour; maritime medical issues; naval history, piracy, privateering; international relations; maritime law; pollution and the maritime environment; fishing; sea-port communities; culture, literature, and art; maritime economics; marine architecture; coastal planning; tourism; and off-shore oil. The sections are further subdivided by location, and a geographical index is included for ease of reference. The author assures that the majority of theses are readily accessible.

The article considers the introduction of the problem of personal identity in the structure of the course of philosophy. The introduction of new material is the attempt to redesign the academic course of philosophy, simultaneously keeping its traditional structure. The problem of personal identity is a topical issue in analytic philosophy. However, it is not much learnt in Ukraine, where academic circles mostly orient to continental philosophy. The paper analyses the subject area of personal identity: its metaphysical status, the nature and conditions of personhood, the possible criteria, and the method of though-experiment. Then, it shows the steps of introducing personal identity in the course of philosophy. The novelty of the article is in the fact that the problem of personal identity is introduced for non-philosophy students for the first time at Ukrainian university course of philosophy.

Professor Cumming's article analyzes the aboriginal rights problem in Canada. The author lays the groundwork for his article by discussion of the historical origin and legal status of aboriginal rights. After various comments on the Federal Government's Indian policy (both past and present), the author takes an in-depth look at the position and attitudes of the three types of native peoples affected by the question of aboriginal rights—status Indians, Metis, and Eskimo. In concluding, Professor Cumming examines the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, and submits that the Act is an example of truly imaginative social policy in attempting to find fair and equitable solution to the abori ginal rights problem in that State. The author states that native problem exists in Canada, and submits that legislative solution recognizing aboriginal rights is, without qualification, preferable to the judicial type of solution which we appear to be headed towards in Canada. This article is based upon a paper prepared for symposium associated with the official opening of the new Law Centre of The University of Alberta, May and 5, 1972. Significant develop ments have taken place in the subject area since this paper was given. However, this does not affect the validity of the discussion and arguments set forth in the paper. The interested reader is also advised to refer to the preceding article, by Lester and Parker, on the British Common Law concepts of aboriginal rights and its particular application in Australia.

Abstract- The authors present the adaptation of the Situation-Problem-Response-Evaluation (SPRE) critical thinking framework, originally developed by Dr. Hannigan [10], to a wide range of engineering projects in the English language course for undergraduates. Each student in a SPRE team acts in accordance with an assigned role and lives through the same stages, such as finding and processing information, selecting and evaluating sources, problem solving, presenting their position in the ‘panel’ discussion’ and report writing as the final stage. Thus the language is practiced in all four modalities and in the professional context. The authors share their experience in introducing professional English through projects ranging from wide- scope inter-domain problem-solving tasks to narrow -scope problems drawn from a particular subject area. They suggest supplementing this scheme with an initial stage, where students draft and redraft their proposals for further research after getting peer-and teacher feedback. This stage enables students to identify the research gap and narrow down the ‘problem’or the aim of the project. SPRE projects meet the request for professional English (ESP) from the university subject departments.

This paper aims to reveal primary teachers knowledge of the quadrilaterals about the concept of quadrilaterals by examining the definitions of the quadrilaterals. A total of four primary teachers, 1 female and 3 male teachers, participated in the study which determined by maximum diversity sampling. The data collection tool consisted of four open-ended questionnaires, which were not based on mathematical procedural knowledge of the teachers and aims to reveal the subject matter knowledge of quadrilaterals. The first question is about the definition of the quadrilaterals (square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, rhombus and deltoid), the second question is the determination of the characteristics of the quadrilaterals, the 3rd question is the comparison of the characteristics of the quadrilaterals and the 4th question is about related to the nomenclature of the quadrilaterals. The data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis method (Zazkis & Leikin, 2008). As a result of analyzes, it was seen that the subject area information of the participants was insufficient. In order to be successful in the teaching of geometry, the in-service training activities should be organized in order to eliminate the deficiencies in the subject matter knowledge and the necessity of reviewing the mathematics courses they took at the university, which can be corrected first, in the context of the content.

The work currently under review, by M. A. Muqtedar Khan, professor at the University of Delware (USA) and expert in Islamic thought, governance and international relations, is a unique addition to the subject area, exploring new dimensions of Islamic political philosophy. A serious, critical evaluation of the subject—theory vis-a-vis practice—Khan challenges the many political understandings held by classical and modern Islamic political thinkers. Human minds (irrespective of their religious bents) have searched through the ages for a world order capable of providing peace and tranquillity to all people. Consequently, a number of political theories have emerged deliberating on the process and structure of governance and government.

The article is devoted to the issues of modeling the economic processes of ontogenesis that arise in the universities of a new formation. The aim of the study is to substantiate the subject area and build a mathematical model of the economic ontogenesis of a higher educational institution of a new level, the specificity of which is the fact that an educational institution has the opportunity to become an integrator, a kind of platform for ensuring economic superiority at the regional and global levels. The subject area of the model is based on the concepts and methods of the theory of innovation. The activities of the university are considered in three spaces: the space of knowledge, the space of consent and the space of innovation. Using the methods of the theory of fractional differential equations, a continuous economic and mathematical model has been built, which, at certain values of the input parameters, has a unique solution and correctly correlates with the experimental data. The proposed model is the main element of the multi-criteria model of interaction between the university economy and the economy of the region.
