Service at the “Kelurahan” is a very important part in determining the success of development, especially in public service. The problem faced is the lack of skill level of the “Kelurahan” apparatus with the more dynamic demands of the community and the archive management system is still conventional and manual that is writing the identity of the archive into the book agenda, expedition, control card, and borrowed archive card, so it takes a more practical electronic system, effective and efficient so required to develop themselves in order to improve public services. Conventional administration and archive management must be transformed into cloud-based computing (digital), for which archiving managers should always be responsive and follow these developments and wherever possible in order to utilize for archival activities, with greater access expected archives are evidence at once able to talk about historical facts and events and be able to give meaning and benefit to human life, so archives that were only visible and readable at archival centers can now be accessed online, and even their services have led to automated service systems. Using Microsoft Access which its main function is to handle the process of data manipulation and manufacture of a system, this system is built so that the bias runs on Cloud which means Cloud itself is a paradigm in which information is permanently stored on servers on the internet and stored. The purpose of this program is the implementation of administrative management that has been based cloud computing (digital) and is expected to be a solution in managing the archive so that if it has been designed and programmed, it can be stored in the computer and benefi- cial to the “Kelurahan” apparatus and add in the field of management archives in the form of improving the quality of service to the community, can facilitate and scientific publications.

Large synchronous generators are the heart of the modern world, while producing the vast majority of the electric power consumed globally. Although they are robust devices, they are prone to degradation and failure. If such failures are not detected at an early stage, then the negative impact may be catastrophic in terms of financial costs, repair times, human lives and quality of life. This is the reason for continuous research in the field of condition monitoring aiming towards the reliable operation of synchronous generators. This paper proposes a novel technique for the diagnosis of the static eccentricity in synchronous generators. The proposed approach is off-line and non-intrusive, allowing the estimation of the fault severity with stator current measurements only. The performed work has been carried out with Finite Element Simulations and extensive experimental testing.

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 changes taking place in the modern world and in the education system in particular are characterized by continuity and abruptness, but they have a strong impact on people. Modern education is designed to help adults be resilient to change and capable of reactive adaptation based on lifelong learning. The actualization of non-formal and informal education is associated with a change in the social role of education in the information society, the transition from the implementation of the compensatory function to a comprehensive individual personal development. Active life position, participation in social projects, awareness of one's own life and educational goals are important components of ensuring the quality of life of modern man. The modern concept of quality of life emphasizes the need to implement an authentic way of life, creating opportunities for the development of interpersonal relationships, conditions for various types of leisure, providing those needs that can’t be met only by material values, including educational. An adult during life has a steady need for education, due to the need to realize professional inclinations and abilities, personal interests and aptitudes. In this context, adult education is a tool for ensuring the quality of human life. In today's world, improving the quality of life is inextricably linked with the development of education, which is a prerequisite for the country's competitiveness in the global division of labor. Successful are those countries that invest in education, its development and long-term growth. Therefore, education is a significant component of the process of ensuring the quality of life of the individual. Participation in trainings, professional communities, workshops, seminars contribute to the formation of an active life position and life trajectory, personal development of an adult and his goal-setting.

Introduction. The protection of children’s health is considered to be the most important among the state priorities. The aim of the study was to study the problems of legislation and legal enforcement in the field of children’s health protection to develop proposals for further improvement of its management. Materials and methods. Analysis of information in abstract databases of scientific publications and assessment of existing legislative framework related to children’s health protection in the Russian Federation. Results. The following issues were identified: lack of mechanisms for implementing the principle of priority of children’s health protection; violation of children’s rights when providing them with medical and preventive care within the framework of mandatory medical insurance and when providing paid medical services; insufficient quality of preventive medical examinations and preventive work in outpatient clinics and educational institutions. Existing standards of time for a patient to visit a pediatrician have been shown to have a negative impact on the quality of medical (including preventive) care for children. The need to create a regulatory framework for the legitimate introduction of the “early assistance” technologies and to establish a system of medical and social support for children in difficult situations had been justified. Issues of school medicine and regulation of juvenile labor require a legislative solution. Conclusion. The enhancement of existing legislation in the field of children’s health should consist not only in new legal mechanisms development and new laws adoption but also in improving the effectiveness of existing legal norms, i.e. improving law enforcement practices.

The relevance of the problem stated in the article is due to the fact that the role and functions of higher education institutions is fundamentally changing nowadays. It happens thanks to breakthrough IT solutions in various areas of human life, the development of online learning technologies, and the increased need for fast and highly specialized education. This is primarily due to the demands of the time – the transformation of the modern world economy towards digitalization. The purpose of the work was to obtain objective information about the effectiveness of the use of innovative forms in the educational process of higher education. The implementation of the priority project in the field of education "Modern digital educational environment in the Russian Federation" allowed us to deploy a national Internet platform with the possibility of integrating mass open online courses (MOOCs) into the educational process. This approach has opened up new opportunities for universities to implement online educational programs and use Internet technologies to form individual educational trajectories of students. A priori, the high quality of moocs was declared and, as a result, the high quality of students educational results. However, there were no separate studies on the quality of students' competence formation. The article considers models for organizing the educational process in higher education using mass open online courses, describes the experience of the Bashkir state pedagogical University named after M. Akmulla as a specialized pedagogical university, considers private methods for online and offline training in the higher education system, and presents experimental data on the introduction of online lectures as an element of MOOCs in the educational process of a pedagogical university. The authors as well studied the students' opinions about new forms of education.

The education system proposed by Paulo Freire is an educational model that can liberate the verbal and mechanistic human culture. Such a culture, according to Freire, is impossible to lead people to a more authentic and more human life. To achieve this, descriptive educational habits are expected to be shifted towards transformative-dialogue education, so that education is not perceived as a shackling education. Education is expected to produce changes to students, both changes in the quality of thinking, personal quality, social quality, quality of independence and quality of society. That is the paradigm shift of Islamic education, that is changing the paradigm of authoritarian to democratic paradigm, closed to openness, doctrinaire to participatory. Society needs to civilize the tradition of criticism, dialogue, openness, the spirit of pluralism and practical practices that touch the problems of the weak and oppressed by anything politically, economically, socially and culturally. ملخص إن نظام التربية التي اقترحها باولو فريري هو نوع التربية التي تقدر على تحرير ثقافة البشر التي ترى شفهية وميكانيكية .هذه الثقافة لا يمكن أن تحمل الإنسان إلى الحياة الحقيقية والإنسانية في نظر فريري .ولتحقيق ذلك، ينبغي أن تحول عادات التربية الوصفية إلى التربية الحوارية التحويلية، حتى لا تكون التربية مقيدة .ويرجى أن تحقق التربية التغيير في الطالب، سواء كان في جودة التفكير والشخصية والاجتماعية والاكتفاء في الذات والتعايش مع المجتمع .والتغيير من النموذج الاستبدادي إلى النموذج الديموقراطي، من الإغلاقي إلى الانفتاحي، من التلقيني إلى الاشتراكي .يحتاج المجتمع إلى تعويد ثقافة النقد، والحوار، والانفتاح، ووعي التعدد والتطبيقات العملية التي تهتم بمشكلات الضعفاء والمضطهدين في كل شيء، سواء كان سياسيا، واقتصاديا، واجتماعيا وثقافيا. Sistem pendidikan yang ditawarkan oleh Paulo Freire adalah model pendidikan yang dapat membebaskan budaya manusia yang serba verbal dan mekanistik. Budaya semacam ini, di mata Freire, tidak mungkin mengantarkan manusia kepada kehidupan yang lebih otentik dan lebih manusiawi. Untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut, kebiasaan pendidikan deskriptif diharapkan digeser ke arah pendidikan dialogik-transformatif, agar pendidikan tidak dirasakan sebagai pendidikan yang membelenggu. Pendidikan diharapkan dapat menghasilkan perubahan terhadap siswa, baik perubahan dalam kualitas berfikir, kualitas pribadi, kualitas sosial, kualitas kemandiriannya dan kualitas kemasyarakatannya. Perubahan paradigma pendidikan Islam, yaitu merubah paradigma dari paradigma otoriter keparadigma demokratis, tertutup ke keterbukaan, doktriner kepartsiipatoris. Masyarakat perlu membudayakan tradisi kritik, dialog, keterbukaan, semangat pluralisme dan praktik-praktik praktis yang menyentuh permasalahan kaum lemah dan tertindas oleh apapun. Baik secara politik, ekonomi, sosial maupun budaya.

Purpose. Due to the use of different methodologies, tools, and measurements, the positive or negative impact of Internet use on human life quality is accompanied by a series of ambiguities and uncertainties. Therefore, in this study, a systematic review and meta-analysis are conducted regarding the effect of Internet addiction on the quality of life. Methods. A systematic search of resources was conducted to investigate the effect of Internet addiction on the quality of life. The databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Science Direct were searched from January 1980 to July 2020. The articles were screened by two researchers in multiple levels in terms of the title, abstract, and full-text; then, final studies that met the inclusion criteria were retrieved and included in the study. Results. After searching the previously mentioned international databases, 3863 papers were found, 18 of which we included in the final analysis. Surveys indicated that people who had a high Internet addiction received lower scores of quality of life than those who were normal Internet users (OR = 2.45, 95% CI; 2.31–2.61, p < 0.001 ; I2 = 85.23%, p < 0.001 ). Furthermore, There was a negative significant relationship between Internet addiction and quality of life in the psychological (OR = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.32–0.99, p = 0.04 , I2 = 97.47%, p < 0.001 ), physical (OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.39–0.86, p = 0.007 , I2 = 95.29%, p = 0.001 ), and overall quality of life score (OR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.27–0.55, p < 0.001 , I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.746 ). Conclusion. These findings illustrate that Internet addiction should be regarded as a major health concern and incorporated into health education and intervention initiatives.
