Изучение возможностей мозга для повышения качества обучения находится в центре внимания педагогической науки уже много лет. Развитие цифровизации позволило использовать в исследованиях специальное оборудование, с помощью которого можно оценивать и контролировать работу мозга, развивать умственные способности, познавательные функции и т. п. Нейротехнологии стали эффективным средством, позволяющим трансформировать образовательный процесс за счет подбора специального учебного контента с учетом индивидуальных особенностей обучающихся. Вместе с тем возникает необходимость в конкретизации терминологии и определении актуальных направлений исследований в данной области. For a long time, the study of the brain capabilities for the improvement of the quality of education has been an urgent direction in pedagogical science. Due to the development of digitalization, new areas of research have emerged related to the use of special equipment that makes it possible to assess and control brainwork, develop mental abilities, cognitive functions, etc. One of them is neurotechnology, which is an effective means of transforming the educational process: it offers educational content based on the individual characteristics of students. Thus, a need to concretize the terminology and determine the current research areas arises. The article aims to attempt to fill this gap with the help of a representative analysis of publications on neurotechnologies, as well as the essence of neuroeducation.

Formulation of the problem. The urgency of improving the methodology of preparation for the external examination in mathematics is currently beyond doubt. Earlier we found that electronic tools in preparation for EIA in mathematics are unpopular among entrants, but positive trends in the development of ICT to prepare for testing in mathematics are also present. The current motivation for the use of technology in mathematics teaching is the current pandemic situation, when the introduction of quarantines and long periods of online learning are beginning to be perceived by students and teachers as normal learning situations. Under these circumstances, mathematics teachers are forced to use ICT, create and develop new forms of organization of the educational process, improve and adapt teaching methods and technologies. The purpose of this article is to establish the feasibility of using ICT, their place and role in preparing for external evaluation in mathematics from the standpoint of teachers and tutors, as well as to determine how modern technology helps or hinders the search for optimal methods of preparation for this type of assessment. Materials and methods. To achieve the goals of the article, we use empirical methods: our own survey using an electronic tool (Google form), monitoring the learning process of students, as well as analysis of their achievements results. In the paper we use the set of scientific cognition methods: comparative analysis to clarify different views on the problem; systematization and generalization to formulate conclusions and methodological advices; generalization of the author's pedagogical experience and observations.   Results. According to our survey of mathematics teachers, two thirds of them believe that the most optimal way to prepare for EIA is a combination of classroom classes and online format. 98% of respondents consider that using of ICT appropriate in preparation for external examination, and the leader among these technologies are online test platforms (NaUrok, osvita.ua, Vseosvita, Quizlet, Сlasstime). 97% of respondents find the use of electronic tools in preparation for the EIA in mathematics useful, and 28% are completely satisfied with both the quantity and quality of available electronic resources. At the same time, 72% of teachers believe that the number of e-learning tools should be increased and their quality should be improved, which indicates the need to develop and improve this area. Conclusions. There is no universal methodology of preparation for the external examination in mathematics, as it significantly depends on both the student audience and the individual characteristics of the teacher or tutor who carries it out. EIA is only a tool for adequate evaluation of the student's achievement level and cannot be the goal of schooling. Instead, the main purpose of schooling is the development of the child, the disclosure of his abilities, as well as the formation of those competencies that will allow him to find his place in life, to be realized as a person. Therefore, in preparation for the external examination in mathematics, the main goal for the teacher, we consider the repetition and systematization of the school course of mathematics, rather than formal training of students to solve specific classes of test tasks. The use of ICT is perceived by us as a natural complement to the educational process, and not just as a forced step due to training in quarantine conditions. We believe that the use of electronic tools in preparation for the EIA in mathematics is useful, but it is important to ensure the proper quality of the tests offered to teachers and students on a variety of online platforms.

The existing legislation determines the education as "an integral and focused process of teaching and upbringing, which represents a socially important value and shall be implemented so as to meet the interests of the individual, the family, the society and the state". However, even in this part, the meaning of the notion ‘socially significant benefit is not specified and allows for a wide range of interpretation [2]. Yet the more inconcrete is the answer to the question – "who and how should determine the interests of the individual, the family and even the state?" The national doctrine of education in the Russian Federation, which determined the goals of teaching and upbringing, the ways to attain them by means of the state policy regulating the field of education, the target achievements of the development of the educational system for the period up to 2025, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 4, 2000 #751, was abrogated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2014 #245 [7]. The new doctrine has not been developed so far. The RAE Academician A.B. Khutorsky believes that the absence of the national doctrine of education presents a threat to national security and a violation of the right of citizens to quality education. Accordingly, the teacher has to solve the problem of achieving the harmony of interests of the individual, the family, the society and the government on their own, which, however, judging by the officially published results, is the task that exceeds the abilities of the participants of the educational process.  The particular concern about the results of the patriotic upbringing served as a basis for the legislative initiative of the RF President V. V. Putin, who introduced the project of an amendment to the Law of RF "About Education of the Russian Federation" to the State Duma in 2020, regarding the quality of patriotic upbringing [3]. Patriotism, considered by the President of RF V. V. Putin as the only possible idea to unite the nation is "THE FEELING OF LOVE OF THE MOTHERLAND" and the readiness for every sacrifice and heroic deed for the sake of the interests of your Motherland. However, the practicing educators experience shortfalls in efficient methodologies of patriotic upbringing, which should let them bring up citizens, loving their Motherland more than themselves. The article is dedicated to solution to this problem based on the Value-sense paradigm of upbringing educational dynasty of the Kurbatovs [15].

Sustainable mobility is becoming a key factor in improving the quality of life of the residents and increasing physical activity (PA) levels. The current situation of sustainable mobility and its analysis is a first step in understanding the factors that would encourage residents to discover and choose alternative modes of travel. The present study examined the factors that encourage the choice of active modes of travel among urban adult population. Walking and cycling were analyzed as the most sustainable forms of urban mobility from the perspective of car and public transport (PT) users. Total of 902 subjects aged 18 years or older were analyzed in the study to assess commuting habits in Kaunas city, Lithuania. The majority (61.1%) of the respondents used a passenger vehicle, 28.2% used PT, and only 13.5% used active modes of travel. The results showed that safer pedestrian crossings, and comfortable paths were the most significant factors that encourage walking. A wider cycling network, and bicycle safety were the most important incentives for the promotion of cycling. Our findings show that the main factors encouraging walking and cycling among car and PT users are similar, however, the individual characteristics that determine the choice of these factors vary significantly.

The use of antiplatelets is widespread in clinical practice. However, for neurointerventional procedures, protocols for antiplatelet use are scarce and practice varies between individuals and institutions. This is further complicated by the quantity of antiplatelet agents which differ in route of administration, dosage, onset of action, efficacy and ischemic and hemorrhagic complications. Clarifying the individual characteristics for each antiplatelet agent, and their associated risks, will increasingly become relevant as the practice of mechanical thrombectomy, stenting, coiling and flow diversion procedures grows. The aim of this review is to summarize the existing literature for the use of P2Y12 inhibitors in neurointerventional procedures, examine the quality of the evidence, and highlight areas in need of further research.

The mandible is the most important bone structure of the facial makeup. Its morphology differs with respect to genetic factors, sexual dimorphism, and age. Among its particular characteristics is the ability to adapt with its counterpart, the base of the skull, conferring a dynamic quality of this bone, by the mechanism of constant remodeling. In order to understand the involvement of the mandible in the evaluation of the lower third of the face, a fractional analysis of its parts is necessary considering morphological parameters of the mandibular angle. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of the mandible as an instrument in the analysis of the lower third of the face, allowing the accomplishment of aesthetic treatment, respecting the individual characteristics.

Изменения, происходящие в обществе, усложнение профессиональных задач делают актуальным запрос к высшими учебными заведениями о подготовке специалистов к инновационной деятельности. Для развития инновационного потенциала студентов современный образовательный процесс в высшем учебном заведении должен иметь личностно-профессиональную направленность. Значимым фактором развития инновационного потенциала студентов является образовательная среда и психолого-педагогическое сопровождение образовательного процесса. Changes in society, the complexity of professional tasks actualize the request to universities to train specialists who are ready for innovation. To develop the innovative potential of students, the modern educational process in universities should be focused not only on the professional training of students, but also on the development of personality. Innovative activities, solving creative tasks to create new products and technologies require active work of the intellect, motivation and will, and this stimulates the development and selfdevelopment of a person. An important factor in the development of innovative potential of students is the educational environment. The functioning of this environment should be based on a systematic analysis of the object, subject, processes, and conditions of innovative development. In addition, it is important to determine the criteria for the effectiveness of the innovation environment, as well as to implement the principle of ensuring the continuous development of students. For the development of innovative potential, it is necessary to use psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process. The main principle of psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process is to take into account the individual characteristics and capabilities of students, the development of their resources. Psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process should be aimed primarily at the actualization of personal competencies that determine innovative activity. For the development of innovative potential, students should participate in the choice of an individual educational trajectory, show educational initiatives and implement them in research activities.

Gambling habits of people aged 55 years and over without gambling problems are rarely being investigated. In order to document life events and to identify the impacts of gambling on quality of life, 19 participants aged 55 to 74 years without gambling problems, male and female, were assembled in three focus groups. Qualitative content analysis of the groups reveals changes in gambling habits associated with transition to retirement and occurrence of health problems. The content analysis further reveals a variety of positive and negative consequences of gambling habits on finances, hobbies, social relationships, and psychological health. Although the focus groups did not target the structural or environmental characteristics of gambling that influence participants' gambling habits, those themes were brought up spontaneously. Results highlight the necessity to study life events from a larger perspective including, for example, protective and risk factors, in order to better understand the life contexts and the individual characteristics that may lead to an alteration or not of gambling habits.

The article reveals the features of the use by cadets of a military university of an electronic textbook in the process of studying physics. The relevance of using an electronic textbook in a military university is due to the need to adapt as much as possible to specific general educational and professionally oriented disciplines, increase the activity and motivation of cadets, and strengthen the mastery of educational material. In this study, the electronic textbook is presented as a component of the electronic textbook, which completely replaces or complements the paper version. The author highlighted the distinctive features of the electronic textbook: interactivity, focus on several channels of perception, taking into account the individual characteristics of students, using different ways of presenting information in a dynamic form with links and additional materials, modeling and visualization, activating students' motivation, a combination of theoretical and practical material, opportunities automatic knowledge control. Since training at a military university is related to military service in secrecy, the use of electronic textbooks allows not only to cover the entire cadet staff, improve the quality of training, increase student activity, but also ensure the relevance of training and practical material.
