The aim of the paper is to increase the motivation of organisations by providing the varieties of forms of education and the possibility of choosing the form of education for a specific educational activity. The focus of the paper is on two basic forms of education, full-time and distance learning. The centre of our attention is distance education, in terms of the conditions and implementation aspects of electronic corporate education in the Slovak Republic. Two methods were used in the empirical research: the questionnaire method and the interview. Respondents were selected from two sections of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities – NACE (Rev.), Section C and Section G, 120 respondents in each section. Despite the digitalisation of the economy and education, respondents as well as authors believe that in the future, the corporate education after the pandemic will return to full-time education and development of blended education.

The article considers the formation and development of philosophy in Belarus in the context of historical conditions and modern opportunities. Discussing the national context of the philosophical process, the author reveals the four aspects of the phenomenon of “national philosophy.” Firstly, there are national institutional and disciplinary structures, which are responsible for an organized scientific, methodological, research and educational activity, which at the level of the nation-state is formalized by certain institutions, system of professional education, norms of professional ethos, standards of behavior within the community and in the wider social environment. Secondly, in the light of philosophical culture, national philosophy is interpreted as a set of value and cognitive orientations passed down from generation to generation. Thirdly, national philosophy can be viewed in the aspect of the tradition of studying the philosophical thought of the nation in the context of its historical development. Fourthly, national philosophy appears in the aspect of the philosophical foundations of the national idea and national-cultural identity. The author examines the main stages of the development of the Belarusian philosophical culture, it is shown that the features of this culture were formed under the condition of a complex combination of the worldview and values of Latin civilization, Christianity, modern European science, rationalism of social projects of the Enlightenment, ideological and worldview attitudes of Western Russian culture, formalized Soviet philosophical disciplines. The article reviews the circle of theoretical, ideological, and practical problems that the modern philosophical process in Belarus faces, the author emphasizes the unfading value of philosophical knowledge as a source of heuristic means for finding effective local answers to global problems of cultural and civilizational development. The author argues that there are two conditions that make national philosophy possible: this is, first of all, a connection with the history of thought in the area of national genesis and also the expression of thought in a national language.

A large part of the population and the economic activities of South America are located in eastern regions of the continent, where extreme climate events are a recurrent phenomenon. This study identifies and characterizes the dry and wet climate periods at domain-scale occurring over the eastern South America (ESA) during 1980–2018 through the multi-scalar Standardized Precipitation–Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI). For this study, the spatial extent of ESA was defined according to a Lagrangian approach for moisture analysis. It consists of the major continental sink of the moisture transported from the South Atlantic Ocean throughout the year, comprising the Amazonia, central Brazil, and the southeastern continental areas. The SPEI for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of accumulation was calculated using monthly precipitation and potential evapotranspiration time series averaged on ESA. The analysis of the climate periods followed two different approaches: classification of the monthly SPEI values as mild, moderate, severe, and extreme; the computation of the events and their respective parameters (duration, severity, intensity, and peak). The results indicate that wet periods prevailed in the 1990s and 2000s, while dry conditions predominated in the 2010s, when the longest and more severe dry events have been identified at the four scales.

Although a growing number of inherited metaboic diseases can be treated effectively, diagnosis often comes too late to benefit the patient. There are at least two ways, however, in which diagnosis can be made before irreversible damage occurs. First, physicians whose services are sought when a patient becomes ill could be attuned to the possibility of metabolic conditions. This is difficult when the initial symptoms, for example, vomiting or poor feeding, resemble those of common, self-limited illnesses, or when they suggest, as with respiratory distress, other categories of serious illness. Second, all infants could be screened for indicators of some of these conditions. Then the primary physician has a responsibility to determine the significance of both positive and negative results and to decide whether follow-up is needed. This study had three objectives: (1) to determine whether physicians are aware of the common problems with which inherited metabolic conditions often present; (2) to determine whether their management of common problems facilitates the early diagnosis of such conditions; and (3) to assess their evaluation of screening test results. METHODS Physicians who were participating in three continuing education programs were asked to answer, anonymously, several questions dealing with recognition and in management of geneticmetaboic diseases before they were given any instruction on the subject. The same questionnaire was distributed to the pediatric house staff at The Johns Hopkins Hospital. The tabulated results were discussed with the respondents collectively during hour-long conferences. RESULTS AND COMMENTS Classification of Respondents One hundred fifty-six physicians returned the questionnaire: 67 pediatricians (in practice, 56; full-time faculty, 6: unknown, 5), 30 general or family practitioners, and 59 pediatric house officers.

For economic entities, business partnerships are not based on individual competition or improving individual business processes, but on improving supply chains. When making management decisions, the question arises about the performance indicators of business processes both at the level of an economic entity and at the macro level. When assessing the effectiveness of supply chains, it is necessary to assess the costs arising in the course of financial and economic activities. The logistics component has a large share in the supply costs. A full accounting of logistics costs allows you to obtain reliable information for the analysis and development of measures to reduce them, which increases the efficiency of the entire economic activity of an economic entity. The article proposes a classification of logistics costs according to the degree of added value creation and dependence on the volume of production, including the allocation of transaction costs, which make up a significant share in the overall structure of logistics costs. The classification of logistics costs should be transformed depending on the organizational and legal form of the organization and the field of activity. The system of accounting for the logistics costs of economic entities should highlight them when implementing all logistics functions; study information about the most significant logistics costs and the nature of their occurrence; study the interdependencies of logistics costs throughout the entire supply chain. The developed system allows keeping separate accounting of logistics costs on a separate account, which makes it possible to control them. In modern conditions, organizations are faced with the need to integrate various types of accounting, including accounting, management and statistical. The algorithm for the implementation of this task includes four stages: development of a methodology for the integration of accounting, management and statistical accounting; formation of management accounting policies; development of data transformation regulations; selection of software for the automation of statistical, accounting and management accounting

Having read "Correlates of Low Birth Weight: Psychological Status at Six to Seven Years of Age" by Weiner et al. in the March, 1965, issue of Pediatrics, perhaps the psychological stage was set for pseudo-psychological hypophesizing. I know for a fact that many individuals reading the Summary of the article completely misread the second line. This sentence is printed as: ". . . weight children and 415 full-time children ..." Could the words "full-time" really have been an error? Could the authors, editors, and printers of Pediatrics have forgotten the use of the words "full-term"? Obviously not! "Full-term" as a descriptive classification of infants is used throughout the paper.

The article presents a qualitative analysis of museum educational products. These products have been studied in terms of the possibility of their use in formal, non-formal and informal education. Thus, the role of the museum as an actor of continuing education has been determined. The role of continuing education in the educational process is becoming more obvious for most participants, and informal education plays a huge role in this process. It is urgent now to develop high-quality educational environment. Due to museums and their offline and online educational products, it is possible to get success. The author analyzed educational activities of leading Russian and foreign museums. As a result, the possibilities of museums as an educational institution for formal, non-formal and informal education were determined. Formal education is characterized by the network interaction of educational organizations and museums when the museum educational resources are included in the educational process. The largest number of museum educational products in traditional and innovative forms is made for non-formal or supplementary education. The traditional forms of museum educational resources include excursions, game formats for acquaintance with the exposition/exhibition (quests), museum master classes, interactive classes, as well as offline continuing education programs for a professional audience. The innovative forms include intra-museum programs, for example, performances, thematic classes within the museum’s profile, and Internet resources such as pages of official museum sites, online academies of museums, museum groups on social media, official museum channels on YouTube, webinars, virtual museums. Thus, non-formal educations could be in onsite or online training forms. Informal education can apply the museum’s resources both in traditional forms and in an innovative one. The museum online resources such as online museum games, massive open online courses (MOOC), and podcasts have the highest priority in this area. Museums and universities cooperate to get high-quality competitive educational online resources. In conclusion, it is possible to speak about a new stage in the development of museum educational activity. This stage is characterized by increasing attention to professional education by adding formal and non-formal (supplementary) educational programs, and, simultaneously, increasing the role of informal education due to online technology. It should be emphasized that museum staff could develop museum educational products for formal and non-formal education independently, but it is advisable for museums to intensify cooperation with universities to enter the online education market.
