The role of universities in disseminating the social responsibility practices of insurance companies

Abstract: The desire and ability to apply the concept of social responsibility is directly proportional to a culture that is formed due to the relevant knowledge, skills and qualifications. It is believed that university education is able to interest future owners, experts and clients of insurance companies in running socially responsible activities.The purpose of the study is to determine the role of universities in disseminating the social responsibility practices in the insurance sector.The main method of research is the survey conducted among 536 full-time students-financiers at domestic universities in September and October 2018. This method allowed to identify peculiarities of students’ perception of the social responsibility concept in the insurance sector of Ukraine. The case study method was also applied to reflect the social responsibility practices used by domestic insurance companies.As a result of the combination of the methods proposed, the low level of students’ knowledge of social responsibility in the insurance sector and the low interest of insurance companies as compared to foreign insurance companies have been shown. That is why, in the process of training, it is important for universities to focus on the proper world-view positions and value orientations, dialog and ethical cooperation that will enhance the professional training of students and develop modern professional competence among them that will meet international practices and requirements.

Research of Servers and Protocols as Means of Accumulation, Processing and Operational Transmission of Measured Information

Abstract: The article describes approaches to the system of data accumulation and storage. The analysis of the possibility of accumulation and processing of data on the local server, as well as in the cloud. The study of the dependence of file transfer time on buffer size for cloud computing and processing technology has been carried out.

An integrated Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model for Sustainability Performance Assessment for Insurance Companies

Abstract: To stay competitive in a business environment, continuous performance evaluation based on the triple bottom line standard of sustainability is necessary. There is a gap in addressing the computational expense caused by increased decision units due to increasing the performance evaluation indices to more accuracy in the evaluation. We successfully addressed these two gaps through (1) using principal component analysis (PCA) to cut the number of evaluation indices, and (2) since PCA itself has the problem of merely using the data distribution without considering the domain-related knowledge, we utilized Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to rank the indices through the expert’s domain-related knowledge. We propose an integrated approach for sustainability performance assessment in qualitative and quantitative perspectives. Fourteen insurance companies were evaluated using eight economic, three environmental, and four social indices. The indices were ranked by expert judgment though an analytical hierarchy process as subjective weighting, and then principal component analysis as objective weighting was used to reduce the number of indices. The obtained principal components were then used as variables in the data envelopment analysis model. So, subjective and objective evaluations were integrated. Finally, for validating the results, Spearman and Kendall’s Tau correlation tests were used. The results show that Dana, Razi, and Dey had the best sustainability performance.

Formation of Organizational and Managerial Competence of Electrical Engineers

Abstract: Modern electrical engineer must have not only knowledge of professional and fundamental natural sciences, but also the technology of management too. Therefore, it is necessary to have organizational and managerial competencies, the formation of which begins while studying at the university. The purpose of this research is to form a model of organizational and managerial competence of the next generation electrical engineers. To achieve this goal, in article were analyzed the professional standard “Electrical Engineer in the energy sector of the energy supply company”, the National Classifier of Ukraine DK 003: 2010 “Classifier of professions” and the educational curriculums of “Electromechanical automation systems and electric drive”. A model of organizational and managerial competence of electrical engineers was developed.

Academic Entrepreneurship in Ukraine: Determinants of Development and Performance Indicators

Abstract: Academic entrepreneurship is the link between higher education institutions and business, which satisfies the combination of basic (engineering) and additional (entrepreneurial) education. The purpose of the article is to outline the determinants of academic entrepreneurship development in Ukraine, as well as to substantiate the performance indicators. Research methods: analysis and synthesis (for determining determinants of academic entrepreneurship development in Ukraine); system-structural analysis (for determining performance indicators); abstract-logical (for theoretical summarization and conclusion); graphics (for visualization of the model of sustainable academic entrepreneurship). Results of the research: system of advantages and limitations of academic entrepreneurship development for higher education institutions, students and the region; stages of creation sustainable academic entrepreneurship; performance indicators for determining the ability of a higher education institution to create and maintain the functioning of academic entrepreneurship (scientific capacity, financial capacity, organizational capacity). The proposed approach allows to improve the quality of higher education, to establish cooperation with business and to take into account the needs of the modern market and the region in the training of specialists.

High Engineering Education as a Component of the System of Human Capital Development

Abstract: The paper presents the results of investigations of the of studying the role of higher education and higher engineering education in accelerating the accumulation of human capital at the micro-, meso- and macro levels, what is a prerequisite for building a fundamental knowledge economy in the country. The forms of influence of higher engineering education on the speed of the processes of accumulation of human capital are determined. The main vectors of development of higher education in Ukraine during the period of its independence are indicated. Legislative initiatives of Ukraine aimed at strengthening the positive influence of higher education development trends on the processes of human capital accumulation are systematized. The key directions of the strategic development of higher engineering education of Ukraine are substantiated.
