The aim of the article is to determine the readiness of students of physical education department to the implementation of health care technologies. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literature, methods of survey and pedagogical supervision. The article deals with the problem of diagnostics of some pupils’ health factors held by the teacher using computers. The relationship of these factors with the health of pupils is revealed. It is pointed out that health is the unity of physical, mental, and spiritual components that make up the holistic relationship to environmental factors and social conditions of human life. Over the past 20 years, the demographic and epidemiological situation in Ukraine is characterized by unfavorable trends: an increasing number of diseases associated with lifestyle and tobacco use, alcoholic beverages, drugs, a growing number of accidents and suicides; increases the number of HIV-infected people, especially at young age; return old epidemic diseases. Methodological approach for the assessment of human health is based on the following principle: health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or defects. It is pointed out that the level of health can be assessed quantitatively, taking as a basis the value of the reserve capacity of the body, ensuring the maintenance of its homeostasis of the internal environment in adapting to the constantly changing conditions of the external world (or load). In this regard, one can use various stress tests, allowing to detect the amount of reserve capacity of the various systems and the whole organism. It is stressed that the child’s body is in constant development, so the parameters describing his health change in ontogeny. Therefore, when assessing the health of children and adolescents the dynamics of physical development, functional, psycho-emotional state of the organism and the learning environment, which must have health-preserving character must be taken into account. These principles formed the basis of the developed monitoring of the pupils’ health. Health monitoring is a dynamic screening diagnostics of physical development, functional reserves of the organism, neurodynamic indicators of the nervous system, mental status, individual constitutional peculiarities, adaptive (backup) capabilities, lifestyle and environment, in which take place the activity of the participants of the educational process.

This article focuses on the most important factors shaping the spatial behaviour of transborder consumers in Słubice and Frankfurt on the Oder, towns split by a state border. The factors are highly diversified and differ in the spatial range of influence. They can be divided into seven groups, viz. geographical, political- administrative, legal-normative, economic, demographic, psycho-social and cultural, and the foreign-language information layout of a town. But it is economic factors, like the level of prices in the given country or the currency exchange rate, that have the strongest effect on the movement of inhabitants and the intensity of transborder contacts between the two frontier towns

The study was triggered as a result of declining performance of learners in Botswana and it was aimed at finding solutions that would enhance sound academic performance in junior secondary schools. A phenomenological design was selected for the study while a qualitative approach was adopted using focus group interviews as the source of data collection from participants. The findings of this study revealed that the inability of the government of Botswana to implement job satisfaction measures in educators inhibited adequate transfer of knowledge to learners, which resulted in a decline in performance. Learners’ gross misconduct and their parents’ inability to counsel them contributed to their decline in performance. Also, learners and educators admitted that the current system of education should be replaced with another productive system. Another finding of this study confirmed that learners are tired of corporal punishment and they want it to be replaced with detention. The study recommendation is that the Ministry of Education of Botswana should apply motivational and job satisfaction factors to encourage educators to adequately transfer knowledge to learners.

Democratisation of languages happens commonly and spontaneously. The main process in the development of language democratisation is the transition from cultural bilinguism, so typical of the Middle Ages, to national monolinguism. That kind of language conversion was a linguistic component of the powerful historical trend towards the intensification of being social and towards homogeneousation of human communities. Language policy has trivial results in lexicographic and grammatical codification and a few serious results in the degree of freedom in mass media and public communication as also in the linguistic ideology of community (in deontological and axiological modalities towards language).

Introduction. It is commonly known that physical activity has great influence on the quality of life and health in the people of all age groups. Physical activity has a beneficial influence on both functional and locomotive abilities, the dynamics of which deteriorates during the process of aging, and this in turn has an impact upon satisfaction of basic biological, social and psychological needs. Aim. The main purpose of this study was an assessment of selected factors affecting the level of physical activity in the elderly. Material and methods. The study group consisted of 100 participants (85 women and 15 men), aged from 65 to 69 years old. An International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - Polish long version was used. Results. A high level of physical activity was reached by 44 participants, moderate level of physical activity was noted in 53 participants, and low in physical activity was found in 3 participants. Older the subjects reached lower MET value in case of job-related physical activity and higher MET value in case of physical activity in free time and total intense effort. Conclusion. The level of job-related physical activity, the level of physical activity in free time and the total intense level of activity depended on the age of the subjects. There were no association between the level of total physical activity and sex, place of residence and BMI of participants.

Purpose: The present study aims to identify the critical factors of supply chain finance and the interrelationship between the factors using interpretive structural modeling. Methodology: Factors of supply chain finance were identified from the literature and experts from both industry and academia were consulted to assess the contextual relationships between the factors. Then, we applied interpretive structural modeling to examine the interrelationships between these factors and find out the critical factors. Findings: The model outcome indicates information sharing and workforce to be the most influential factors, followed by the automation of trade and financial attractiveness. Originality/value: Previous literature identified various factors that influence supply chain finance. However, studies showing interrelationships between these factors are lacking. This study is unique in the field as it applies total interpretive structural modeling for assessing the factors that affect supply chain finance. Our model will aid practitioners’ decision-making and the adoption of supply chain finance by providing a necessary framework.

Research background: The 2020 pandemic has proven to be stressful for regional tax systems. However, these systems reacted differently to lockdown and a decline in business activity, which was associated with both their structures and the specifics of their development. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to assess the impact of the 2020 pandemic on tax revenues of Russian regions, as well as to analyze the factors contributing to the resilience of regional tax systems to epidemiological crises. Methods: The study is based on monthly data from the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation on total tax revenues in 83 Russian regions for 2013?2020. For data up to March 2020, we construct stationary time series and plotted ARiMA regressions. Based on them, we forecast tax revenues for the period from April to December 2020, if there were no pandemic. The impact of the pandemic is calculated as the deviation of actual tax revenue from the forecast for the corresponding 9 months. Findings & value added: We find that the impact of the pandemic on tax revenues varies over time and space. The crisis hit the fiscal system most negatively in the first three full months of the lockdown (April?June 2020). Some mining regions of the Urals, Western and Eastern Siberia, specializing in the extraction of oil and gas, as well as non-ferrous metals, turned out to be the most vulnerable to the pandemic. The most resistant to it are the central and southern regions of the European part of Russia. Calculation of Pearson's correlations shows that the greatest drop in tax revenues occur in regions with a larger share of the mining industry in gross value added and MET in tax revenues, with a higher GRP per capita and an increased level of general economic instability. The smallest decline in tax revenue, or even its growth, is observed in regions with a larger share of personal income tax and property tax in tax revenues, a higher share of trade and processing industries, social sphere and public administration in gross value added, a higher degree of economic diversification and a larger share of small business in total turnover. The obtained results are applicable to manage the resilience of tax systems to epidemiological crises.

Think tanks of the United States as a functional prototype of modern analytical centers are explored in the article. The main factors that determined the formation of think tanks in the United States in the early years of the twentieth century were distinguished, in particular: 1) the economic boom in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century; 2) course of administration of T. Roosevelt; 3) cartelization and trasification of the national economy. The process of formation of the official institutionalized elements of the system of expert-ideological influence in the 19101920 years was analyzed. The types of non-state structures of expert support of foreign policy processes of this period are distinguished, such as: 1) non-governmental think tanks, whose activities are directed on ideological substantiation, expert evaluation and advocacy support of foreign policy; 2) councils and associations created to coordinate with the assistance of scientists economic and political interests of business and the state. The influence of the first think tanks of the USA on the public decisions making process is considered. The influence of the Industrial Revolution, private philanthropy and the Great Depression on the formation and development of American think tanks is analyzed. The influence of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation on the process of the formation of think tanks in the United States is considered. The influence of the Second World War and the Cold War on the formation of expert-analytical organizations in the USA was determined. The peculiarities of the development of think tanks of the USA in the 40’s - 50’s of the twentieth century, which were caused by a new wave of expansion into the European market of American corporations and banks, were considered. The ideological and organizational changes in the work of think tanks of the USA in the 1960s were explored. The main political events that have created the context for the distribution of disproportionately large numbers of conservative think tanks in the 1970s are analyzed, in particular: 1) political mobilization of business and corporations; 2) political conversion and aggressive propaganda by the neo-conservative intelligentsia; 3) the political mobilization of evangelical and fundamentalist Christians; 4) the prevalence of neoclassical economic theory at universities and among key politicians. The reasons that prevented the creation of non-conservative think tanks in the 1960s-early 1970s are researched, namely: 1) the adoption by Congress of a tax reform law which has tightened restrictions on the political activity of private foundations that historically are major sponsors of think tanks; 2) reducing the resources of the Ford Foundation and reducing its interest in funding analytical centers; 3) a decline in the cost of research and development of the Ministry of Defense, historically another important source of funding for think tanks in the United States. The causes of the emergence and spread of ideologically oriented think tanks (lawyer type) in the USA in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, which openly demonstrated commitment to a certain policy, party or ideology, carried out aggressive propaganda and sought to make influence the discussion of issues current policy are analized. The current condition of think tanks in the USA is considered. It is established that the process of developing strategic ideas by think tanks of the United States is closely linked with the applied orientation towards obtaining specific socio-economic and political results. American think tanks are directly influenced primarily by public interests and have a close connection with the interests of large American business. They are quite different from similar organizations in other countries, with the active participation of many of them in the political process and widely funded from various sources. American think tanks are directly and indirectly ready to participate in shaping public policy, and politicians, in their turn, are appealing to them for advice.

Introduction. It is found out that transformations, taking place in the education system in conditions of European integration, considerably complicate management of a modern education institution and set fundamentally new tasks to its administration. Particularly acute these questions arose before the heads of institutes of postgraduate pedagogical education (IPPE). In order to improve the existing IPPE management system, appropriate legislative and scientific foundations are needed that will provide normative and methodological basis for their future development taking into account the specifics of the activity. In particular, it is necessary to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations of adaptive management of development of the IPPE chair system. The aim of the article is to develop a scientifically substantiated system for monitoring of development of the IPPE chair system as a mechanism for adaptive management of development of this system. Research methods. The logical analysis of literary sources on philosophy, sociology, and pedagogy made it possible to develop the basic concepts of adaptive management of social-pedagogical systems; with the help of method of organizational-system modeling a model of adaptive management of development of the chair system of institutes of postgraduate pedagogical education has been developed. Empirical methods, including the study of normative legal documents, practical activities of institutions of postgraduate pedagogical education for the establishment and generalization of their managerial experience; observation, questionnaire, event analysis, mathematical and statistical processing of the received data, including Qualimetric calculations for objectification and assurance of the elements of adaptive management of development of the IPPE chair system have proved the effectiveness of the implementation of the monitoring system for management of development of institutes of postgraduate pedagogical education. Results and their discussion. The basic organizational unit of the institutes of postgraduate pedagogical education is the chair. Taking into account the terminological uncertainty inherent in the system of postgraduate education, we define the chair of the institute of postgraduate pedagogical education as the basic structural unit of the institute of postgraduate pedagogical education, which conducts educational, methodological and scientific activities for certain categories of pedagogical workers (including managers), which includes at least five scientific and pedagogical workers at the main place of work, and not less than three of them have a degree or an academic (honorary) title. Conclusions and perspectives of further researches. The study does not exhaust the entire diversity of problems on adaptive management in the system of postgraduate pedagogical education. So, deserve attention such issues as: training of IPPE teams for implementing the model of adaptive management of the chair system development; formation of managerial competence of heads of the chairs in the context of adaptive management of the IPPE development.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the determining factors in the formation and direction of innovative upbringing process of a comprehensive school. To achieve the objective theoretical methods were applied in the research – theoretical analysis, comparison and synthesis, interpretation of modern theoretical research in the national pedagogy. Summarizing the above mentioned, we can assume that the factors shaping the innovation focus of upbringing process are not managed and controlled, internal and external phenomena, processes, situations, circumstances, conditions, natural or social facts that motivate active training of innovation creation, mastery and innovation in education and determine the conditions, course and results of upbringing process with innovative orientation. Thus, we can distinguish the factors of forming the innovation focus of upbringing process of a comprehensive school by sharing their conditionally on the following: within the meaning – socio-pedagogical, organizational, methodological and psycho-pedagogical; by the nature of actions – objective and subjective; by the degree of impact – driven and not driven. The basis of systematization of the outlined factors is the level at which, in our opinion, they emerge and cause the formation of innovative orientation of upbringing process of a comprehensive school: the whole-school level, group pupils collective, the level of upbringing. It is noted that the power of influence of these factors is not the same, but each has its value, and their underestimation could adversely affect the course of implementation of the model of innovation orientation of the educational process. It is necessary to take into account the mutual influence and mutual dependence of socio-pedagogical, organizational, methodological and psychological and educational factors. It is necessary to realize that, depending on the goals of education the factors may be both favorable and unfavorable for the performance of innovative educational activities, besides various factors influencing the formation of innovative orientation of upbringing process at the same time may increase and compensate or completely exclude each other, and change of one of them leads to changes in the content of other factors. That is why it is important to consider the entire system and use a variety of factors, their dedication and consistency in order to achieve a positive result of innovative orientation of educational process forming.

There is no unique definition of migration nor is a simple classification of migration possible either, because of the existence of multi-dimensional migration criteria such as cause, length, distance, direction, volume, velocity, migratory status etc. The purpose of the paper is to develop significant data that will provide insightful conclusions for the factors that contribute to high migration of youth from Kosovo. The qualitative empirical research is meant to find out the extent to which youth were satisfied with the way of life in Kosovo, what the reasons were for that, and whether that would change their way of life.

Objectives Hypothermia is an established method of treating severe forms of perinatal hypoxia in newborns. Some of them develop neonatal encephalopathy, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore, prophylaxis of this pathology is important as well as determining environmental factors in mothers of newborns affected by this pathology. The aim of the study was to assess of selected environmental factors in mothers of newborns qualified for hypothermia. Material and Methods The material consisted of 102 subjects, including 51 mothers of newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy referred for hypothermia treatment (group I) and 51 mothers of newborns without signs of hypoxia (group II). The case-control study was carried out in the third level reference centre. It is 1 of 20 centers of therapeutic hypothermia for newborn in Poland. Data was collected based on a data collection sheet. Study groups were compared in terms of demographic and environmental data. The odds ratio (OR) was determined and the logistic regression analysis of univariate and multivariate regression was used to determine the probability of the need for hypothermia in the study group. Results The groups did not differ in terms of age, BMI and place of living. The need to use hypothermia increased in pregnant women living together with their parents (OR = 6.8, 95% CI: 2.4–19.6) also in case of exposure to factors at the workplace, i.e., noise (OR = 4.1, 95% CI: 1.1–15.5). Conclusions Based on the results of our case-control study we postulate to pay attention during preconception care to proper preparation for pregnancy especially in younger women exposed to nuisance in the work environment and at home. In this area postulated activities should include education programs, in close cooperation occupational medicine practitioners and obstetricians even before the conception as a part of pre-conception counseling.
