Riga Polytechnicum (RP) / Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI) was the only higher education institution in the territory of the present Baltic States where it was possible to obtain higher technical education in the 19th century and early 20th century. Well-known Estonian architects, engineers and industrialists also studied there. Karl Tarvas (1885–1975), a famous Estonian architect, studied at RPI from 1906 to 1915. His creative heritage significantly influenced and shaped the architecture of Tallinn and its suburbs in the 1920s and 1940s. During the Interwar period in the Republic of Estonia, K. Tarvas deliberately chose to improve the living conditions of the less affluent population by designing standard wooden buildings, which we now know as the Tallinn House (Estonian: Tallinna maja). This research provides an insight into the study years of K. Tarvas and critically evaluates his professional activity. K. Tarvas was one of the founders of Riga Estonian Students’ Society (Estonian: Riia Eesti Üliõpilaste Selts; REÜS) established in 1909, which united Estonian students at RPI.

Rīgas Politehnikums (RP) / Rīgas Politehniskais institūts (RPI) 19. gadsimtā un 20. gadsimta sākumā bija vienīgā augstākās izglītības iestāde tagadējo Baltijas valstu teritorijā, kur bija iespējams iegūt augstāko tehnisko izglītību. Tajā studēja arī pazīstami igauņu arhitekti, inženieri un rūpnieki. Viņu vidū – pazīstamais igauņu arhitekts Karls Tarvass (Karl Tarvas; 1885–1975), kurš studēja RPI no 1906. līdz 1915. gadam. Viņa radošais mantojums būtiski ietekmēja un veidoja Tallinas un tās priekšpilsētu arhitektūru 1920.–1940. gadā. Starpkaru laikā Igaunijas Republikā K. Tarvass apzināti izvēlējās uzlabot mazāk turīgo iedzīvotāju dzīves apstākļus, projektējot tipveida koka ēkas, ko mūsdienās pazīstam ar nosaukumu Tallinas māja (igauņu val. – Tallina maja). Pētījuma rezultātā sniegts ieskats K. Tarvasa studiju gados un izvērtēta viņa profesionālā darbība. K. Tarvass bija viens no Rīgas Igauņu studentu biedrības (igauņu val. – Riia Eesti Üliõpilaste Selts ( REÜS); dib. 1909) dibinātājiem, kas apvienoja RPI igauņu studentus, kuri 1921. gadā piedalījās Igaunijas Arhitektu asociācijas izveidē (igauņu val. – Eesti Arhitektide Ühing).

Web link mining has been previously used as a way of gaining insight into how the Internet may be replicating or reshaping connections between institutions within the higher education sector. Institutions are increasingly active on social media platforms, and these connections have not been studied. This paper presents an exploratory analysis of the network of UK higher education institutional accounts on Twitter. All U.K. institutions have a presence. Standing in recent university rankings is found to be a significant predictor of several network metrics. In examining the communities present within the network, a combination of ranking and geolocation play a role. Analysis of a sample of tweets which mention more than one U.K. higher education institution provides an indication of why the topics of tweets would reinforce prestige and location in the network structure.

This paper is based on the results of research related to a problem of professional self-determination formation and person’s professional typology construction, and devoted to how the knowledge of students’ individual-psychological and social-psychological features will allow during training in higher education institution not only adequately use natural tendencies and abilities, but also to help in formation of activity’s individual style allowing to compensate a lack of some components development by development of others ones. As a result this will allow solve effectively the same professional problems by people with various combination of operational components in person’s structure. Therefore in this case it is appropriately to focus attention on the typological approach to person’s features similarity studying under the profession influence, and, taking this approach as a basis, a more flexible studying of this problem is offered, assuming the possibility for existence of several types in the same professional community. Therefore, there is an opportunity for dynamic development of person’s qualities in the presence of strongly expressed motivation to professional activity. This direction of researches is especially topical in connection with political and social-economical transformations in society, and introduction of professional standards, demanding essential changes in training of specialists. Nowadays there is rather serious gap between employers’ requirements in the labor market, and knowledge and skills which are gained by graduates during the training. The professional standards regulating requirements to work’s quality and content and being an obligatory element for an assessment of graduate’s training quality and his readiness for the future professional activity only describe necessary parameters, without answering a question how these parameters may be created at the youth choosing the certain profession, taking into account person’s specific features. If the person’s professional choice is defined by random factors and there is no activity’s individual style formation during the training, such mistakes will be cost much in the future to both the person and the higher education institution.
