Nowadays, education faces the problems that do not favor its further development. Modern conditions of educational system reformation lead to the growth of requirements to the level of specialists’ professional training. The main purpose of the research is to increase the quality and speed of learning through all the means that become available by virtue of digital environment. For this purpose, the experiment was conducted that involved 400 students. The participants of the experimental group were to distribute and fulfil project tasks. As a form of the students’ practical training, the work with startups has a range of specific features and advantages. First of all, it implies students’ involvement into a real project the results of which will depend on the quality of their training, their motivation, willingness to immerse into the field that is researched as deeply as possible, as well as on their interest to the subject of a project. The result of the project was an extensive work that included drafting a business plan. 60% of students used online startups as an assistance for planning the work, whereas 40% made it by themselves. It was discovered that 50% of students developed interesting business plans and widely described the ways of their usage, whereas 9% of students prepared the reports on the basis of their work and spoke at scientific-practical conferences. Besides, an experiment was carried out among the teachers. In order to check their non-standard ideas, 92 CVs of the workers who founded innovative startups, mainly in IT field, were gathered. In order to form a representative sample, we randomly selected entrepreneurs from the short-lists that were based on the search requests in Professionali.ru Web. The research showed that during training in the field of business management, a future founder can acquire enough skills in a form of explicit knowledge in a certain field. However, he will have to increase its level in order to transform his startup into a business project.

Entrepreneurship higher education is aimed both at providing the students with knowledge bases and stimulating their entrepreneurial thinking. There is a need to rather develop the students’ general cognitions than their personal qualities. This is what forms the specialists who are ready for professional activity. In order to develop the education programs that fit actual economic requirements, the feedback needs to be obtained that includes the students’ self-evaluation of their entrepreneurial thinking level basing on the results of higher learning. The participants of the research were 513 fourth-year students in “Economy” and “Management” specialties from 5 universities of Kazan, Cheboksary, Ioshkar-Ola and Elabuga. The reasons for this choice include the following: high level of readiness for labor market; interest to practical tasks; attendance/desire to attend special courses. Through the preliminary questioning, the focus-groups were divided into two main categories: the students that already have practical experience and those ones that do not have the experience of professional activity. The participants were asked to fill in the questionnaires. The survey was carried out in a written form. The main purpose of the questionnaire was to compare the formation level of the qualities that were needed for entrepreneurial thinking among the students with/without practical experience. The working students are critical in relation to educational program and environment of their university as a formative factor of entrepreneurial thinking. More than 50% of the participants who work in their specialty believe that the new subjects need to be introduced into curriculum, 32% out of them combine learning with work and additional courses (trainings, seminars, etc.). Only 23% of the non-working students make similar decision, 54% view their knowledge and skills as sufficient, whereas 23% of the working students view their entrepreneurial thinking level as insufficient for a successful start. In the participants’ opinion, education programs that are used in universities where the research was carried out do not meet the students’ needs in the formation of entrepreneurial thinking. This point is the necessity to create and introduce a course that would serve as a coaching for the future entrepreneurs. The results of the research can be used by universities that train the specialists in “Economy” and “Management” specialties in order to develop the programs of the students’ entrepreneurial thinking formation. © 2019, Allied Business Academies.

The use of the outdated methods and technologies that do not meet the requirements to a modern specialist in the labor market is one of the most urgent problems of modern education. The purpose of the research is to describe the current condition of the Russian entrepreneurship education in terms of the use of innovative technologies. Besides, the research is aimed at identifying the deficiencies of their implementation process that can lead to the students’ dissatisfaction with learning process and to the lack of their readiness for professional activity. The authors surveyed 210 four-year students of the following universities: Elabuga Institute of Kazan Federal University, I.N. Ulianov Chuvash State University and Mari State University (The Russian Federation). The purpose of the research is to evaluate to effectiveness of the innovative methods that have been introduced into education program of four-year students, to identify their deficiencies that can somehow influence the students’ readiness for professional (in our case, entrepreneurial) activity. The students demonstrated general dissatisfaction with the influence of innovative technologies in universities upon education quality. They mentioned a lack of innovative methods that have been applied in practice, the insufficient technical facilities of the classrooms. Besides, it has been identified that the change in the requirements to education on the part of economic sector of labor market led to the students’ dissatisfaction with their professional skills. The result of the research can influence the innovative transformations in education in the following specialties: “Enterprise and Organization Economics”, “Entrepreneurship”, “Economics. International business”. As a result of the research, the recommendations have been formulated that can be realized by virtue of the joint work of local authorities, administration of universities and teaching staff. It is recommended to modernize the technical facilities of universities (computer classrooms, the use interactive boards). Besides, introduction of innovative methods is very important, because they will significantly increase the students’ readiness for practical activity. Such methods include case-technologies, “round tables”, seminars in a form of debates. The list of the subjects at each faculty needs certain revision. More innovative disciplines must be introduced that directly relate to the students’ professional activity with the emphasis upon practice. © 2019, Allied Business Academies. All rights reserved.

The benign and malignant neoplasms in parotid gland have similar clinical presentations despite different tumor growth rates. The study compared the clinical and morphological data as well as the results of ELISA for MMP-2, MMP-8, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in salivary fluid yielded during primary examination of the patients with pleomorphic adenoma and adenocarcinoma of parotid gland. The examined biomarkers detected in salivary fluid in patients with various cancer types differed significantly (p≤0.05). The correlations between clinical identification of adenoma or adenocarcinoma, on the one hand, and the levels of MMP-8, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2, on the other hand, makes it possible to use the latter as biomarkers for early detection and comprehensive noninvasive differential diagnostics of these neoplasms.

Distance learning is becoming more and more popular with students of the Russian Federation. However, since this form of education is relatively new for our country, its organization has some drawbacks that need correction in order to increase the effectiveness of such education. The purpose of this research is to determine whether students of distance learning are confident in the effectiveness of their education, as well as in their competitiveness with full-time students and readiness for entrepreneurship. It is necessary to find out directly from entrepreneurs whether graduates will be able to compete in the labor market. Two groups of respondents were surveyed: 426 students of public and private universities of Kazan and 35 local entrepreneurs. The survey was conducted in order to determine the prospects of distance learning from all possible aspects: both from the future applicant and from the potential employer. The results showed students' positive attitude towards distance learning. It was confirmed by students' confidence in their successful employment and readiness to compete in the market. However, half of the respondents were not ready for their own business activities. The reason for this may be the lack of adequate educational materials, lack of easy access to university libraries and lack of practice during the educational process. Moreover, the favorable attitude of entrepreneurs towards students of this form of education was revealed, since they find skills and experience more important than the specifics of the educational form. However, most entrepreneurs are not ready to do business with graduates of

The pace of business and technological progress becomes faster nowadays. This happens on the background of increased competition. Because of these trends, enterprises and organizations increasingly rely on project management methods and processes to achieve commercial goals. As a result, higher education organizations offer curricula and programs aimed at improving the education. The purpose of this research is to determine the relevance of knowledge of modern methodologies in the labor market and to analyze the organization-related features of the process of learning innovative project management methods in the leading universities of Kazan and Elabuga cities, Russian Federation. The study used statistical analysis, a survey and testing. The survey involved 630 students from 8 universities of Kazan and Elabuga. The employers that took part in the survey were found to be interested in those employees, who knew the Agile methodology (28%). The “Project Management” course program gives a general idea of the modern technology of project management and offers insights into the general principles of using knowledge and skills to solve problems at work. The efficiency analysis of education, carried out to evaluate the teaching of modern methodologies, showed that more than 60% of students were aware of the importance of learning project management methods for successful employment. The correlation analysis showed (Pearson coefficient r=0.67) that students understood which innovative project management methods are in demand in the labor market. The survey, however, revealed that only 30% of respondents had a sufficient level of knowledge. This reflects the need to teach modern methodologies, such as PRINCE2, Scrum, and Agile, as separate disciplines in higher education establishments. These steps can significantly affect the quality of teaching and learning modern project management methodologies. If so, universities will strengthen their position in the educational services market by rapidly adapting to changes in the external environment. This will lead to the production of more competitive graduates.

The development of scientific approaches to assessing and diagnosing the financial risks of oil industry in the Russian Federation becomes a high priority task in conditions of high level of volatility in oil prices in the world energy market and preservation of sanctions regime. The article shows the main threats to financial stability of oil companies in Russia. Using cluster analysis, a system of indicators is proposed that determines the level of financial risk of oil companies in Russia. Based on the method of expert assessments and fuzzy sets, the classification of financial risk levels of oil industry is proposed. The integrated financial risk level of oil industry was calculated and scenarios of its development for 2018–2020 were forecast by means of regression modeling. The system of measures to improve the stability of oil companies and prevent functional financial risks is argued. The practical implementation of research results will be the basis for timely diagnosis of financial risks and qualitative development of preventive measures to neutralize them in the oil industry of Russia.

At present, there is an increase in the oncological pathology of the maxillofacial region from 1.5% to 2% to 3% to 3.5%.1-3 Osteosarcoma is one of diseases of this group.4,5 The incidence of incapacitation in patients with osteosarcoma raises concerns of the medical community.6,7 It is caused by a wide range of factors. In the maxillofacial practice, they include: a series of complex reconstructive operations, a long postoperative period, complications and side effects of surgical interventions, mainly in the form of a long-lasting pain syndrome, deformity of the facial skull, leading to functional disorders and aesthetic defects, and emotional disorders. This makes follow-up of such patients difficult and can significantly worsen patients' social functionality and quality of life. 8-11 Therefore, modern medical developments in dental oncology are aimed at modifying surgical tactics, achieving a reduction in the rehabilitation period, improving rehabilitation indicators, preventing patients' incapacitation, and improving their quality of life and social functioning...
