National researchersfocus of the problem of humanismin Russian education and upbringing lies as it is of great importance for development of the society. Reformation and modernisation of education in our country turned out to be really contradictory and destructive.Drawing upon Marx’s work Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, his concept of humanism, the author defines humanism and considers this phenomenon from protohumanism to its modern form, which is assumed as partial humanism and its subsequent forms in the future.The author’s opinion is concerned with partial humanism, partial humanisation in the national system of education and upbringing, subject to objective and subjective factors.The formation of students’ human and civil personality traits, securing the quality of education and appropriate training of professionals and specialists imply concrete historical humanism element of education and upbringing.

The relevance of the study of modern contradictory processes of globalization in the context of information is explained byprogressivesocietywich is subject to universalization. The authors highlight that globalization and internationalization focus on the inevitable departure of sovereign countriesfrom the historical stage. The article underlines the necessity to differentiate the concepts of “globalism” and “globalization”. Theappropriate review of the information aspect of global managementassumes the use of the term “interdependence”, which reveals a latent process toward global modernity. The authorsunderline that globalism implies an objective state of the universal connection of all the relations of world society subject to a single core. However, the information component plays a leading role in the modern pressure of Globalization, where the West is the core and imposes western values by means of massmedia to the whole world. Generalization of various conceptual approaches to modern globalization allows shifting several peculiarities of information society of the modern world. The information changed the era of post-industrialism as the information revolution led to a global information space, characterized by a huge flow of information, the ability to use it, and a giant impact on all life processes, consciousness and behavior. Information mechanism of global management is expressed in in appeal to public opinion, which is the subject of all sorts of manipulations.

The model contributes to economic training and teaches entrepreneurship.

The paper analyzes problems related to research activity of students and searching for new forms for assessment of students’ research activity in the Chair Student Research Group. As it is known, students’ research work contributes to continuing participation of students in the research work during their training at university. Taking into account career guidance of students, the Chair of Public and Business Administration involves students into the research work, which conforms to curriculum, study programme, and considers further defense of final theses. Participation in the Students Research Group is volitional; it depends on the topic of research and degree both a student and scientific supervisor are interested in the research. Many researchers devoted their publications to this problem, but they are related with arrangement of students’ research activity at university or its methodological support. The authors suppose evaluation of students’ research work results to be necessary for consideration. The authors approve the approach of some institutions of Novosibirsk, which suggest applying various scoring models and control. Otherwise, it is more pleasant for a student to get not only scores but also financial benefits. Therefore, we correlate the timelines of the topic with its demand in the regional market of social service clients. This is a market approach, but the third project appeared to be socially significant and received funding. This became an additional stimulation and motivation for young researchers and students participating in the project. The publication describes the main processes starting from Students’ Research Group formation to development of grant projects.

Global information and socio-economic changes in the post-industrial society have led to its evolution, changes in social relations, human activities, also to institutional changes in the education system. Material and socio-cultural environment in which the socialization of the younger generation and individuals happens is changing. Standards, values and socio-cultural patterns are changed in the process of social transformation and in the changes of the value orientations of young people in various fields of modern Russian society. Youth reflects the realities of time and problems of Russian society as a reflection of the entire social space. Social group of students has become so massive that can carry projections, reflect changes of the social life of Russia. In our scientific research we consider the main social factors that influence the formation and establishment of the transformed value orientations of modern Russian students. We put forward the fundamental differences between two alternative paradigms: the technocratic and humanistic, in interpretation of phenomena of dialectically opposed systems of value orientations in regard of a person (group of people) to nature, people, work and person to himself. Currently the social space of value orientations of modern Russian youth is contradictory and vague and fundamentally paradoxical. «Centaur-problem» in the minds and behavior of students is as an eclectic mix of alternative principles of humanistic and technocratic paradigms that are in dialectical unity. We identified the transphenomena expressed in contradictions of value orientations that we call the trans-values. In general the education system contributes to this. The main direction of transformation of students’ value orientations has antisocial orientation. The author suggests application of paradigmatic analysis for the detailed analysis of the ongoing social processes and phenomena, situations and scientific theories.

The article represents the survey results of personnel departments staff of agricultural enterprises of the Altai Territory. The survey is aimed at identifying features of reproduction of the labor force. The publication explores the activity of the Government of Russia and regional authorities in the aspect of reproduction of labour forces at agricultural enterprises. The author makes conclusion that implementation of the strategic objectives of agricultural production, including reproduction of the labor forces, is related to qualitative transformation of the system of further training and increasing of the staff professional rank.

The article explores the role of agricultural staff in the aspect of import substitution. The article mentions strict requirements to the chiefs and personnel employed in agribusiness. These requirements assume agribusiness specialists’ high qualification and a special type of mind. There is a relation between production efficiency and personnel qualification, which depends on lifelong learning. The publication describes briefly elements of marketing approach, which are applied in development of individual support.

The paper considers the issues ofspecialists’training in the system of industrial training. Today the general model of interaction betweenthe industrial enterprises and industry-oriented universities involves targetedspecialists’ training for the industry under the joint development of specialized training programmes. New social and-economic conditions, structural changes within the company OAO “RZhD” (Russian railway) lead to new requirements to specialists’ training. The industry-oriented education in the railway industry should be directed at the solution of the problems faced by theentire national transport network. Thus it is necessary to take into account such factors as: 1) compliance of transport education with the existing and long-term demands of the transport industry; 2) role of the transport industry in the development of industry-orientededucation; 3) place of the industry-orientededucation in thesystem of vocational education in Russia. The strategy of the transport network development in Russia identifies the role of the transport industry in the industry-orientededucation. Taking into account the multifaceted character of the industry-oriented education, the author presents the structure of the industry-orientededucation as a dynamically developing multifunctional educational cluster. Within the implementation of supplementary training programmes on the request of the industry, the Siberian State Transport University has made an attempt to combine the educational business processes existing in the university through training according to the speciality, organization of the students’research and simultaneous English language training based on the academic and professional mobility. Under such organization of training the development of communicative competence becomes an effective means of professional competence development. Thus, the development of the industry-oriented education enables to combine vocational education with the labour market needs and to improve the quality of training for the industry, and therefore, to increase the competitiveness of the transport university graduates in the labour market.

The article declares about education as being institutionalized sphere of human activity. It is included into fundamental social institutions as a form of social relations and life support of humanity, stability and development of public life, inheritance and succession of social and spiritual experience of generations. Russian universities have overcome the millennium crisis and they are still aimed at knowledge transfer and training staff but not at the research. These systems include a variety of social organizations and assume the net of institutions aimed at reproduction of attributive social relations, and each component of this complex has its own ontology. Globalization and world traditions imply technological transfer and reproduction of fundamental knowledge by means of university centres. Otherwise, science in Russian universities is characterized as being significantly behind the fundamental science. The publication insists on interaction between the research institutions of the Academy of Science and university centres in order to get fundamental knowledge. The author explores possibility of interaction of this kind in the region and takes into consideration the regional specific features.

The reflection and refraction of acoustic waves at different angles of incidence on the interface between a vapor--gas--droplet system and air are studied. From an analysis of analytical solutions, it has been found that in the case of incidence on the interface from the side of the vapor--gas--droplet medium, there is a critical angle of incidence at which the wave is completely reflected from the boundary, i.e., total internal reflection takes place. It is shown that for a certain angle of incidence on the interface both from the air side and from the mixture side and for a certain volume fraction of water in the disperse system, complete transmission of the acoustic wave through the medium is observed.
