Olena Roik — 2023-12-30

Implementation of the principles of academic integrity in the educational and scientific environment of the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design (KNUTD) requires a comprehensive approach, which involves clear methodological recommendations, educational programs and institutional support. KNUTD strives to develop a culture of academic integrity, ensuring that students, teachers and researchers adhere to ethical standards in their educational and scientific activities. This involves preventing plagiarism, promoting honest research methods and fostering a sense of responsibility and integrity in the academic community. The purpose of this article is to provide an example, improve practical approaches, generalize and popularize the system of implementation of the provisions of academic integrity that promote academic integrity among higher education students, postgraduate students, and academic staff of the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design. The main task of the research is to create an environment where academic integrity is valued, understood, and practiced by all members of the university community by enhancing the quality of education, research, and scholarship while maintaining the highest ethical standards. The research methodology consists in the study of normative documents of Ukraine and internal regulations of KNUTD on issues of academic integrity. The main directions for achieving the set goal should be: policy development (development of a clear policy of academic integrity and codes of conduct that define plagiarism, plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct, outline the consequences for violations and ensure a fair and transparent disciplinary process); educational programs (Integrating academic integrity into the educational process, including modules on proper citation, research ethics, and the consequences of academic misconduct); technological integration (implementation of plagiarism detection tools to detect and prevent plagiarism in academic tasks and research papers); institutional support (establishment of an academic integrity office or committee to oversee policy implementation and review reported cases); ongoing evaluation (regular evaluation of the effectiveness of academic integrity programs through surveys, feedback mechanisms, and case studies).

THE CONCEPTS OF QUALITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN GENERAL AND HIGHER EDUCATION

Dennis Soltys — 2023-12-30

This article presents three measures of educational quality and six types of accountability, noting that these terms are complex and often contradictory. These terms are often used uncritically, with the result that educational policies following from them are misconceived or simply drift. For educational policies to be sound, they must be based on a clear use of terms and on a sound understanding of desired objectives. These objectives are matters both of stakeholders’ preferences and politics. The subjective and political nature of educational policies should be recognized, so that there can be formed an explicit basis for and consensus around appropriate educational objectives. The purpose of this article is to bring clarity to the common concepts of quality and accountability in education, so that educational policies may be better informed. The methodological basis of the research is the methods of comparative analysis of scientific research in the field of social and natural sciences, the authors of which investigated human, social and cultural capital. The educational establishments of all countries need from time to time to deeply re-examine certain operative concepts. In this regard, an informed consensus needs to be reached about the multidimensional and sometimes contradictory notions of quality and accountability. Habit and drift are not helpful to educational policy; instead, educational values and goals should be actively discussed and clarified in broad national discussions, comprising all major interested parties. A good educational system is ultimately a civic achievement, set within a community of informed and interested stakeholders.

ECOLOGICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH ON AIR POLLUTION OF UKRAINIANS

Vladyslav Parakhnenko — 2023-12-30

The possibilities of human impact on nature are constantly growing and have already reached a level where humans can devastate the planet, destroy all living beings, and completely alter the climate. High levels of pollution are characteristic of areas around regional centers in Ukraine, especially in the suburban zone of industrially developed Kyiv. The higher the pollution level, the greater the risk to the health of the population and the state of the environment. Long-term pollution of the atmospheric air with sulfur dioxide, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other harmful substances negatively affects human health. This can result in an increase in overall morbidity caused by damage to specific organs and body systems, such as respiratory diseases (pneumonia, bronchial asthma, and other non-specific lung diseases) and cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic diseases, etc.). The purpose of the article is to identify negative factors that affect the worsening of the environmental situation in the country and individual regions. The main task of my work is the analysis of negative changes in the ecological state of Boyarka and advocacy of possible ways to improve the ecological situation in the city. This study also shows the importance of chemistry as a science in the understanding and development of current environmental problems of our time. On the basis of a systemic approach, the tasks of creating ecologically safe living conditions for the population of suburban areas of the city were solved by conducting noise protection measures. Experimental studies were carried out using modern acoustic measuring devices "Octava-101" and "Ekofizika-Octava". Data processing involved the use of mathematical statistical methods. Mathematical and statistical methods were used to assess the reliability of experimental results. The main results of the article were the measures (economic, legal, urban planning, etc.) to solve the environmental problems of the city of Boyarka.
