Individual Intellectual Integration in Russian Students


Book Description

This book develops an integrative view of individuality that relies on a polysystemic approach. It considers and combines two systems, namely, individuality and intelligence with creativity in a theoretical and empirical way. It focuses on cross-theoretical and empirical integrations, unifying the theory of integral individuality of V. S. Merlin with the structural-dynamic theory of intelligence of D. V. Ushakov and the theory of divergent (creative) thinking of J. Guilford. As the book shows, these theories hold together, describing and revealing a new fragment of the integral individuality at the expense of intelligence and creativity.




The Imperial Russian Project


Book Description

A pioneer in the field of Russian and Soviet studies in the West, Alfred J. Rieber’s five decade career has focused on increasing our understanding of the Russian Empire from Peter the Great to the coming of the First World War. The Imperial Russian Project is a collection of Rieber’s lifetime of work, focusing on three interconnected themes of this time period: the role of reform in the process of state building, the interaction of state and social movements, and alternative visions of economic development. This volume contains Rieber’s previously published, classic essays, edited and updated, as well as newly written works that together provide a well-integrated framework for reflection on this topic. Rieber argues that Russia’s style of autocratic governance not only reflected the personalities of the rulers but also the challenges of overcoming economic backwardness in a society lacking common citizenship and a cohesive ruling class. The Imperial Russian Project reveals how during the nineteenth century the tsar was obliged to operate within a changing and more complex world, reducing his options and restricting his freedom of action.




Intelligent control algorithm for autonomous integrated power plants for Arctic regions


Book Description

В статье рассмотрены информационно-технические аспекты управления инновационной автономной комплексной энергетической установкой, включающей в себя альтернативные источники энергии и дизель-генераторную установку, а также управляемые инверторы, обеспечивающие энергообеспечение потребителей различных категорий приоритета, которая может быть использована в арктических районах РФ. Рассмотрены основные аспекты создания инновационных систем и определено, что создание комплексных энергетических систем требует существенного углубления кооперации национальных производителей с целью обеспечения масштабируемости комплексных энергетических систем путем обеспечения единства информационных средств обмена данных между отдельными модулями и системой управления. Показано, что специфическим требованием к системам управления комплексными энергетическими установками является требование высокой автономности, в том числе способность обеспечивать потребителей электроэнергией при переменных условиях окружающей среды без непосредственного вмешательства оперативного персонала. Обосновано разбиение информационно-алгоритмического обеспечения системы управления комплексной энергетической установкой на два модуля – аналитический и управляющий. Для аналитического модуля предложен алгоритм, обеспечивающий выработку управляющих решений в комплексной энергетической системе, обеспечивающий стабильность обеспечения энергией наиболее важных потребителей. Одновременно алгоритм обеспечивает повышение надежности используемого в системе накопителя энергии на базе Li-Ion аккумуляторов не только на основе исключения избыточного заряда и глубокого разряда, но также путем сокращения количества циклов заряд/разряд. Решение задачи автономности системы обеспечивается многовариантным алгоритмом прогнозирования погодных условий с использованием статистических данных и методов анализа нечетких временных рядов.

Inclusive Education in the Russian Federation


Book Description

This book provides the first evidence-based accounts of inclusive education in a Russian context. It explores the critical educational changes in the Russian Federation within the post-soviet space and internationally. The book analyzes the transformation of educational practices as Russia transitions from an educational model of student support with an emphasis on disability to a broader conceptualization of inclusive education. Among others, this book discusses inclusive education in the context of: • School and preschool institutions; • higher education institutions; • non-Russian-speaking children and children with migration experience; • culture-sensitive education; • indigenous minorities; • technological and methodological support; • the role of stakeholders such as NGOs, parents, and other social groups; • teacher preparation and professional development. This book is intended for teachers, inclusive education coordinators, principals and school managers, policymakers, teacher educators, scholars of inclusion, and university professors, along with community organizations and students of inclusive courses in a Master in Education. .







Integrating Engineering Education and Humanities for Global Intercultural Perspectives


Book Description

This book presents papers from the International Conference on Integrating Engineering Education and Humanities for Global Intercultural Perspectives (IEEHGIP 2020), held on 25–27 March 2020.
