This article presents the results of theoretical and empirical study of the psychological problems, which are arisen on the influence of high-intensity stressors on a personality. The post-traumatic stress, as a delayed complex response to a stress- or – a life-threatening disease, is considered as one of such consequences. On a sample of people (n = 39) diagnosed with meningioma (a benign tumor of the arachnoid mater), in the post-surgical period, a comprehensive psychological study was conducted using the interviewing and testing methods. The authors verified the hypothesis of a special configuration of personality characteristics and psychopathological symptoms at different levels of post-traumatic stress (PTS), caused by the reaction of the individual to the diagnosis of meningioma. The investigation demonstrates that at the high level of PTS such personality traits as depression, emotional lability, shyness and irritability are diagnosed, that are the most likely prerequisites for the development of psychopathological symptoms – depression, anxiety, paranoid ideation and psychoticism. It is concluded that the severe experience of post-traumatic stress, caused by the diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, systematically manifests itself at all levels of the individual functioning – organismal, psychological and social.
In the article the legal category "worthy living standards" is considered. The legislation establishing dependence of a worthy standard of living on the minimum wage and a living wage is analyzed. Moreover, the results of sociological polls and interviewing on the category "worthy living standards" among the citizens of Chelyabinsk region are given. Based on the received results it is possible to draw a conclusion that citizens take worthy living standards for any certain sum of money, and opportunity to realize themselves freely, to use the abilities and desires, to have not only means of physical existence, but the opportunity to direct them the provision of housing and rest. Thus, the realization circle directly depends on the population income. ; В статье рассматривается правовая категория «достойный уровень жизни». Анализируется законодательство, устанавливающее зависимость достойного уровня жизни от минимального размера оплаты труда и прожиточного минимума. Кроме того, в статье отражены результаты социологических опросов и интервьюирования по вопросу о категории «достойный уровень жизни» среди жителей Челябинской области. Основываясь на полученных результатах, автор делает вывод, что под достойным уровнем жизни граждане понимают не какую-то определенную денежную сумму, а возможность свободно реализовывать себя, распоряжаться своими умениями и желаниями, иметь не только средства к физическому существованию, но возможность направить их на обеспечение жильем, отдыхом. При этом круг реализации напрямую зависит от дохода населения.

The relevance of the work is associated with the growing interest linguists show in exploring communicative medical discourse, particularly when it comes to its individual structural components – discourse about cancer, in which the description of speech tactics and strategies used in health communication between a doctor and a patient is of particular interest. The analysis of speech strategies and communicative tactics formed on their basis will in the future contribute to the creation of the most effective models of doctor-patient dyad healing-related communication, which take into account both communication failures and communication gaps.
The description of some speech tactics and strategies in the communicative and pragmatic aspect, within which an oncologist and a patient interact, is presented by the author in this paper. As empirical data shows, the influence strategy targeted to establish an acceptable behaviour model of the doctor-patient dyad proves to be the leading healing encounters strategy. This strategy provides impetus to activate a number of suggestive tactics that allow oncologist to influence the patient to varying degrees in order to achieve compliance. Such influence should be sequenced: a first meeting would necessitate image strategy; in the process of interviewing and counselling the tactic of neutralizing psycho-emotional disorder of the patient plays a key role; at the stage of the active phase of treatment both support and physical assessment are appropriate to combine it with the imperative tactics.
Thus, the study of speech tactics potential makes it possible to most effectively build the trajectory of doctor-patient interaction.
In the last decade, research in the field of smart cities has expanded from purely technological aspects to include the areas of management development, urban planning and social sciences. In general, the discussion focuses on how the use of technology contributes to the development of the city, urban space and improving the quality of decisions[1].The article offers a tool to enrich the urban development management system. It is argued that by developing appropriate scales, subjective views and perceptions of the citizen can be objectivized and, therefore, are very useful for managers and politicians.In this paper, the development process is carried out in several stages, using inductive and deductive methods. Following focus groups and interviewing representatives of the city authorities, a survey was conducted with the participation of almost a thousand city inhabitants from all Kazakhstan regions. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 24 and AMOS 20 tools.The study proposes a scale that includes statements structured in five identified dimensions: willingness to interact, expectation of improvements, willingness to use, concern about efficiency, concern about abuse. As the methodology is disclosed, important theoretical and managerial implications are discussed, the need for information flow management in the interests of participants in the implementation of Smart City is justified. ; В последнее десятилетие исследования в области умных городов от сугубо технологических аспектов расширяются и включают сферы развития управления, урбанистического планирования и социальные науки.

В статье рассматривается модель воспитания правовой культуры студентов как важный инструмент их подготовки к успешной профессиональной деятельности. Актуальность исследуемой проблемы обусловлена социальным заказом общества на подготовку специалиста новой формации, обладающего высоким уровнем общей и правовой культуры, нравственной и правовой устойчивостью, оперативно решающего насущные задачи, обладающего аналитическим, саногенным мышлением, креативностью и экстраполирующего правомерную поведенческую стратегию. В качестве методов исследования выступили понятийно-терминологический анализ, синтез, аналогия, систематизация, интерпретация, классификация, теоретическое моделирование, интервьюирование. При раскрытии исследуемого феномена были использованы нормативно-правовые акты, посвященные основным правам и свободам личности, а также научно-педагогическая, психологическая и юридическая литература. Полученные данные постулируют, что определение дефиниции «правовая культура» коррелирует с концептуальными идеями исследователей, представляющих различные методологические школы, что свидетельствует о поливариативности изучаемой категории. По мнению авторов статьи, модель воспитания правовой культуры студентов включает целевой и методологический подходы, методологические принципы, педагогические условия, содержательный, процессуальный, критериально-оценочный и результативный блоки. The article considers the model of education of legal culture of students as an important tool for preparing them for successful professional activities. The relevance of the problem under study is due to the social order of society for the training of a specialist of a new formation, who has a high level of general and legal culture, moral and legal stability, promptly solving urgent problems, possessing analytical, sanogenic thinking, creativity and extrapolating lawful behavioral strategy. The research methods were: conceptual and terminological analysis, synthesis, analogy, systematization, interpretation, classification, theoretical modeling, interviewing. When disclosing the phenomenon under study, we used normative-legal acts devoted to the basic rights and freedoms of the individual, as well as scientific, pedagogical, psychological and legal literature. The obtained data postulate that the definition of legal culture correlates with the conceptual ideas of researchers representing different methodological schools, which indicates the polyvariability of the studied category.

The article presents an analysis of the influence of the family on the development and implementation of the educational route of children. The relevance of the problematics is related to the need to improve the quality of personal and social human capital. The purpose of the research is the study educational ways of different types of families.
The project can be divided into theoretical and empirical parts. It was established in the theoretical section that in modern sociology the resource approach is most relevant to research issues. According to his interpretation, the family is the strongest factor in the educational route of children. Among family resources, economic, educational, and cultural capital have the greatest impact on the educational route of children.
Тhe empirical part of the project contains, students' parents, school principals surveys, collection of biographical materials, analysis of documents, analysis of statistical data and the results of all-Russian representative researches. Longitudinal studies of the educational path have been realised by interviewing families of students and collecting parental diaries. The author provides an analysis of two educational routes of Russian children. One way is leaving after ninth grade and going to college. It has been established that the majority of parents of 9th grade graduates don't have higher education and families don't have a developed cultural resource. The choice of college is explained by the reluctance to take a unified state exam after 11th grade, the desire to get a specialized secondary education for free, defined professional choice.
The second educational route studied in detail in the empirical part of the research is the child's admission to a top-rated school which falls under one of the top 500 best schools in Russia. This is the most thought-out educational plan which is implemented by parents with high educational and cultural values. It has been established that the likelihood of studying at a top-rated school increases the leadership position and the high professional qualifications of the student's father.
The empirical prospect of the study is the search and analysis of other relevant educational routes offered by families to their children. The findings suggest the need to support high-ranking schools and help Russian families providing children with educational opportunities.
This article presents the results of a study of how getting young students engaged in practical training can be a means of job placement in the future. The author relies on the work of those Russian sociologists who study issues such as employment, strategies for finding a job, young people's educational trajectories. The aim of this article is to examine the process of how students go through practical training, to identify their expectations from such practices, difficulties in their interaction with employers, as well as to formulate methodological recommendations for organizing practical training in universities.
In order to examine students' opinions on the specifics of going through practical training, interviews were conducted in two stages. 43 students were surveyed in total. The first stage took place in 2018, prior to going through practical training, during which respondents' expectations from practical training and employment were determined. The second round of interviews was carried out in 2019 – after they had completed their practical training. The authors found out that students have become more demanding: they expect practical training to help them acquire new skills, grab the attention of potential employers, as well as receive a monetary reward. The following strategies were identified during interviewing: employment, educational, career-based, compensational, personal development focused, the anticipation strategy; strategies for going through practical training were included into one of two categories – active or passive.
Students expressed their thoughts on the difficulties they encountered while going through practical training which involved a lack of attention and interest on behalf of employers. According to students, employers showed a low degree of interest, while their attention was focused on keeping track of attendance, and on students strictly fulfilling the obligations that they put upon them.
The article also considers foreign practice in resolving the issue, manifested in the idea of paying employers for providing young people with jobs. In Russian universities, employers are invited to work at said universities, with payment being issued for training students. The author recommends inviting employers to universities for them to conduct master-classes and organize students' practical training while taking into account the specifics of their field, motivating and attracting the interest of potential employers by putting money on the table. Another suggestion is to conduct seminars, in preparing young people for job interviews, for putting together a resume and a portfolio for future employment. Hence, according to the author, practical training can not only promote future employment, but also help in developing competencies, in socialization, a person's personal growth, enhancing competitive capacity and familiarizing youth with labor.
В последнее время в педагогике все больше внимания уделяется вопросам повышения качества образования, обучения и воспитания. Новые технологические возможности, например, дополненная виртуальная реальность, позволяют использовать в обучении проблемные кейсы. Применение таких кейсов способствует формированию у обучающихся различных знаний, умений, навыков и профессиональных компетенций, расширению сферы их профессиональных и личностных интересов. В статье описаны результаты анализа различных источников, результатов опроса и анкетирования студентов, выпускников вуза и работодателей по теме создания и решения проблемных кейсов, их влияния на эффективность обучения в вузе и на результат трудоустройства. Рассматриваются преимущества и недостатки использования проблемных кейсов в ходе изучения учебных дисциплин, анализируется актуальность формирования у студентов умений и навыков решения проблемных кейсов. Учитывая опыт практического применения работодателями проблемных кейсов во время интервьюирования, в статье приведены основные вопросы, положенные в основу проблемных кейсов, которые предлагается решить потенциальным кандидатам в процессе интервью при приеме на работу. Проведенное исследование позволило сделать вывод, подтверждающий необходимость увеличения количества часов в теоретической и практической части обучения на решение проблемных кейсов и проблемных ситуаций, что, в свою очередь, позволит развивать у обучающихся различные навыки и компетенции, которые они смогут использовать в своей будущей профессиональной деятельности и повседневной жизни. In recent years, pedagogy has increasingly focused on improving the quality of education, training and education. New technological opportunities, for example, augmented virtual reality, make it possible to use problem cases in training. The use of problem cases allows students to form various knowledge, skills, and professional competencies and expand the scope of their professional and personal interests. The article describes the results of the analysis of various sources and the results of a survey and questionnaire of students, university graduates and employers on the topic of creating and solving problem cases and their impact on the effectiveness of university education and on the result of employment. The advantages and disadvantages of using problem cases during the study of academic disciplines are considered, the relevance of the formation of students' skills in solving problem cases is analyzed. Taking into account the experience of practical application of problem cases by employers during interviewing, this article presents the main issues underlying the problem cases that potential candidates are invited to solve during the interview process when applying for a job. The conducted research allowed us to draw a conclusion confirming the need to pay more attention and increase the number of hours in the theoretical and practical part of training to solve problem cases and problematic situations, which in turn will allow students to develop various skills and competencies that they can use in their future professional activities and daily life.

Автор подчеркивает, что происходящие глобальные изменения в обществе, новые направления в социокультурном развитии привели к необходимости внесения изменений в требования к качеству образования на всех уровнях. Отмечается, что новые требования к качеству образования предполагают не только развитие предметных знаний обучающихся, но и развитие метапредметных и личностных компетенций. Образовательные организации оказались в ситуации затруднений при выстраивании образовательного процесса в соответствии с введенными государственными направлениями. Автор приходит к выводу, что в поиске механизмов решения проблемы образовательные учреждения стали объединяться в сетевые группы и сообщества, позволяющие интегрировать ресурсы и возможности для реализации поставленных государством задач. В статье рассмотрена концепция «сервисного государства» принципы сервисной деятельности образовательных учреждений; клиентоориентированность образовательных учреждений; основные положения сетевого взаимодействия образовательных учреждений; проанализированы нормативно-правовые акты, проекты, в которых закреплено сетевое взаимодействие в сфере образования; охарактеризована независимая оценка качества образования; рассмотрены образовательные учреждения, занимающие лидирующие места, по мнению потребителей услуг, на предмет сетевого взаимодействия с учетом ориентации на потребности непосредственных потребителей услуг. В ходе исследования применялись следующие методы: анализ и синтез, сравнение, интервьюирование. Результатом исследования стал проект сетевого взаимодействия с учетом сервисной ориентации Гуманитарного лицея г. Томска и ТГУ. ; The author emphasizes that ongoing global changes in society, new directions of sociocultural development have led to the necessity of making changes in requirements of the quality of education on every level. It is noted that these new requirements imply not only pupils' subject knowledge development but also their metasubject and personal competence formation. Educational institutions faced difficulties while establishing educational process in accordance with the introduced state directions. The author comes to the conclusion that in search of the solution, educational institutions started to form networks and communities that let integrate both resources and abilities to succeed in fulfilling of the tasks given by the government. The concept of a "service state" is considered; principles of service activities of educational institutions are defined; client focus of educational institutions is reviewed; the main provisions of the network interaction of educational institutions are presented; regulatory acts, projects in which the network interaction in the field of education is fixed are analyzed; an independent assessment of the quality of education is given; educational institutions that occupy leading places in the opinion of service consumers about network interaction, taking into account the focus on the need of direct service consumers are considered. In the course of the study, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis, comparison, interviewing. The result of the study was a network interaction project taking into account the focus on service by the Humanitarian Lyceum in Tomsk and Tomsk State University.
Актуальность исследования обусловлена дисбалансом между потребностями рынка труда в мигрантах определенных профессий и выбираемыми молодыми мигрантами (и их семьями) направлениями для обучения, между декларируемыми целями на развитие международного образования и фактическими практиками привлечения, обучения и адаптации молодых иностранцев, отсутствием долгосрочных программ по развитию учебной миграции в отечественные колледжи. Цель: изучить состояние и перспективы, социально-экономические и демографические эффекты от обучения иностранных граждан в учреждениях среднего профессионального образования, оценить перспективы увеличения доли экспорта образовательных услуг в этом сегменте, выявить проблемы, негативно влияющие на развитие учебной миграции в колледжи. Методы: эмпирическое исследование учебной миграции в колледжи страны в гг. Томске, Москве, Екатеринбурге, Санкт-Петербурге в 2016-2017 гг. Подходы: интервьюирование экспертов (ученых, работодателей, руководителей и работников средних профессиональных образовательных учреждений, представителей власти), глубинные интервью с иностранными студентами, анализ зарубежных и отечественных источников по теме, анализ нормативно-правовой базы Российской Федерации. Результаты. Большая часть организаций среднего профессионального образования к массовому обучению и переобучению иностранных граждан не готовы - слабая материально-техническая база (за исключением СПО Санкт-Петербурга и Москвы), дефицит квалифицированных преподавательских кадров, отсутствие поддержки со стороны государства, трудности правового характера, факторы, не способствующие развитию учебной миграции. ; The relevance of the research is caused by misbalance between the needs of labor market for migrants in certain occupations and those chosen by migrants (and their families) specifically for education, between the declared and actual practice of attracting, training and adaptation young migrants in the domestic institutions of secondary vocational education, the lack of programs to develop educational migration in secondary vocational institutions in the country. The aim of the research is to examine the state and prospects, socio-economic and demographic effects from education of foreign citizens in institutions of secondary vocational education, estimate the prospects for increasing a share of export of educational services in this segment, identify the problems affecting negatively the development of educational migration in secondary vocational education institutions. Methods: empirical study of educational migration in Tomsk, Moscow, Ekaterinburg, St. Petersburg secondary vocational education institutions in 2016-2017. Approaches: interviewing experts (scientists, employers, managers and employees of secondary professional educational institutions, government officials), in-depth interviews with foreign students, analysis of foreign and domestic literary sources on the topic, analysis of the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation. Results. The majority of institutions of secondary vocational education is not ready to mass education and retraining of foreign citizens: outdated material and technical base (with the exception of a number of vocational institutions in St. Petersburg, Moscow), deficiency of qualified teachers, lack of support from the state, legal impediments, factors that do not contribute to the development of educational migration in the short and medium term.
