Integration processes in science, education and production are driven by the acceleration of scientific and technological progress, the introduction of innovative scientific developments into mass ...production and the informatisation of the economy. The development of knowledge-intensive industries places new demands on the training and retraining of innovation-sensitive personnel, as well as on science, education and the economy as a whole, which are currently unable to develop effectively independently and adapt to changes in technology and engineering. The purpose of the article is to find promising areas for the development of education and science based on their integration with business entities not only within the limited space of regions, but also on the basis of spatial integration of territories with a special geographical location. Methodology. The necessary and socially significant conditions for the integration of science, education and business are the achievement of knowledge and skills, goals and values related to the acceleration of the reproduction of innovation potential in society, awareness of the role of science, education and business in solving problems of innovation development, and also their integration interaction in this area. Practical implications. Three main levels of economic systems are allocated: individual, organisation, and region. It has been determined that the degree of influence of innovation processes on them is determined by the presence and condition of three factors necessary for the formation of innovation susceptibility (stabilising, activating and structural). Value/Оriginality. Based on the concepts of the main innovation systems and the necessary conditions for innovative economic growth, the authors have clarified the content of the category "innovation receptivity of the region". The paper also reveals the basic principles of building a model of innovation receptivity and determines the degree of interdependence and interdependence between its constituent elements based on a systematic approach.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a modern phenomenon that is used in a variety of industries, including intelligent transportation, smart cities, healthcare, games, and education. The use of IoT ...applications to enhance the quality of higher education has become a crucial subject in the discipline of teaching research. The objective of this research is to find out whether educational institutions could incorporate higher education and the Internet of Things by utilizing the technological acceptance model. For the purpose of achieving this, the University of Mosul was chosen to identify the position of faculty members in this field. The study proposes a model consisting of factors adopted from the TAM Theories. A quantitative approach has been used in this study; the questionnaire has collected data from the research sample, and a random sample of 99 participants was selected. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS 26 and Smart Partial Least Squares (SmartPLS4) packages. According to the findings of this research, the perception of benefit is influenced by ease of use. In contrast, self-efficacy and facilitation conditions are unchanged and do not affect behavioral intention to adopt the Internet of Things. The study suggested the need to hold workshops and training courses for academic staff in the field of Internet of Things applications.

In particular, the institutionalised practices of participation of Volodymyr Dahl EUNU in the recovery processes are presented. The survey of academic staff and students of the university showed the distribution of opinions on the role of higher education institutions in the recovery of the community, the region and the country as a whole, and also identified the specific role of displaced HEIs in such processes. The study revealed the willingness and existence of active practices of participation of the academic staff and students in the recovery of socio-economic systems of various levels, as well as their readiness and conditions for joining such activities. The results of the survey conducted among the academic staff and students of the Volodymyr Dahl East Ukrainian National University show that the respondents are aware of the role of educational institutions in the recovery and restoration of communities, regions and the country as a whole, as well as their readiness to return to the liberated territories to restore them together with the university.
on behalf of the Committees of the Russian Society of Cardiology for work with medical schools of the Russian Federation and for educational activities and youth policy
Cardiovascular diseases take a ...leading place in the morbidity pattern worldwide, and therefore improving the cardiology education in medical schools is very relevant. In addition, the rapid development of diagnostic and treatment methods poses very different challenges for students and teachers. In particular, at present, high-tech methods, such as radiofrequency ablation, molecular diagnostics, are practically not included in the standard curriculum. Also, differences in educational tracks in different universities often do not allow creating a single educational cardiology space. The article discusses the continuity of cardiology education at the university at different departments (study years), as well as theoretical, practical competencies of 3-6 study years at internal medicine departments, as well as electives and academic competitions in cardiology and the related problems.
The purpose of the article is to study the direction of training young specialists through the professional development of academic staff in the field of education. The areas that require regular ...research, updating and professional development from specialists based on the analysis of the areas of work of teachers of higher education institutions were identified. The main key competencies for lifelong learning have been identified. The training courses offered to teachers and academic staff at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv were presented. Skills are proposed for mastering as the main learning outcome for the academic staff of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. The training courses and programs offered by SoftServe have been identified by the monitoring of opportunities for practical training of teachers. For higher education institutions, professional development for academic staff is a mandatory element of the education quality assurance system and can take place through participation in master classes, seminars, trainings, webinars, and workshops. It has been established that academic staff, given the workload and challenges they face in terms of professional development and maintaining mental and emotional health, should receive professional help and support. Professional supervision can be helpful, which can help both individually and within the university. We believe that for academic staff to perform their tasks effectively, higher education institutions should provide them with quality material and technical support, and opportunities for continuous learning and development. A well-designed educational program will be the key to success for its developers, higher education institutions, students, and employers. It is necessary to create an environment of periodic discussion with employers of existing educational programs and their main components, which will allow timely making of important adjustments in response to important problems and topical issues. The principles by which the educational program is developed have been identified. The criteria for self-assessment and accreditation of educational programs have been formed.

In this paper, an attempt was made to locate the role of internationalisation in African Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). It is argued that comprehensive international, intercultural, and global ...dimensions in the affairs of African tertiary institutions provide for a more nuanced and diversified higher education landscape. Through a desk study approach, dwelling mainly on existing literature, the paper examines the issues of internationalisation from the perspectives of diversity and inclusion, as well as the roles of the relevant key players within those institutions to practically deliver internationalisation strategies that will put the institution on a global pedestal while remaining locally and regionally relevant. More importantly, strategies for achieving comprehensive internationalisation are discussed drawing inferences from literature and documentary sources. The interrogation of these sources in relation to the expectations of the current and future HEIs to remain socially relevant and sustainable is carried out. HEIs in Africa must contribute to socio-economic change and engage with their quad-helix and eco-system partners to ensure that high end skills training, knowledge production, entrepreneurship and innovation are accelerated. In so doing, African HEIs must embrace diversity in its fullness including welcoming differences in gender, race, culture, nationality and providing platforms of engagement that allow for inclusion, and breaking silos to allow for a nuanced agenda of internationalisation.
