Modern ecological crisis threatens the sustainability of human civilization. Awareness and education for probable disaster risk reduction give greater urgency to the issue of decreasing industrial failure rates associated with basic manufacturing activities and, consequently, improving the training in this area. The authors have highlighted the features of modern risk based approach in engineering training based on proximity of production entities to anthropogenic factors: allocation of risks and threats in professional and personal situations or tasks; critical analysis of any industrial process and considering its consequences; using professional and personal risk response strategies; risk-based thinking as the core professional activity. The paper considers the mechanism of risk-based thinking as a necessary part of engineering students training on the basis of diversionary analysis, and gives its algorithm adapted to their learning activities. A system of professional tasks and tools to be used in the students' future job has been developed to promote their readiness and willingness to work across trades within the sphere of their technical competency. The paper is intended for researchers, practitioners, managers of enterprises dealing with ecological and economic production activities, as well as for professional training of engineers.

The purpose of the article is to develop the concept of professionally-motivating Industrial Art education, methodological guideline for which appear the ideas of implementing a humanistic paradigm of Industrial Art Education in Russia. The paper presents the main ideas of the concept of professionally motivating Industrial Art Education that allows to specify the basic requirements for the educational goals and process, driving forces, teaching methods, syllabus, the requirements for teachers and students, as well as the eventual result which supposes a high level of professional motivation, students' commitment to professional skills, self-education, ability to apply the acquired knowledge in the art craft, to improve individually.

Purpose of the study: Since the new generation is the main entity of material and social benefits' renewal process of any state, the article aims to identify the students' attitude to the demographic situation in Russia. It is the younger generation of different age groups that is the main labor unit of the state population. Relevant is the fact that the issues of demography are a global challenge of self-organizing society. The purpose of the article is to identify the students' attitude to the demographic situation in Russia, as well as to consider various models of reproductive behavior. Methodology:The leading methods for the study of this problem is the survey method, which allows to make a qualitative analysis of the characteristics of the students' attitude to the demographic situation in Russia and to establish the subjective position of students regarding demographic development. Results:The article reveals that the following administrative and legal measures contribute to the improvement of the demographic situation in the country (legislative acts regulating the marriage age, divorce, attitude to abortion and contraception, the status of mother and children in the divorce, working women's labor regime); economic measures (paid leave, various benefits at child's birth, preferential credit conditions if necessary, tax and housing benefits); educational measures (formation of public opinion, the core and standards of demographic behavior, determination of attitude to religious norms, traditions and customs, family planning policy, sexual education of youth). The authors established a high level of awareness of students about the demographic situation in the country; the presence of anxiety about this situation. Applications of this study:The data obtained in the work can be used in sociology, social psychology, political science, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue.Novelty/Originality of this study: The study revealed a high level of awareness of young people about the demographic situation in the country, certain anxiety about this situation. However, young people are not in a hurry to participate in the solution of demographic problems, referring mainly to the difficulties of material nature. This indicates the need for more careful consideration of measures of state support for young families, taking into account the research of their opinion on this matter. of children were born out of marriage. At the same time, in 2013 compared to 2006, the number of births increased by more than 28%, the share of second and subsequent births in the total number of births increased. In 2013, the following factors contributed to the positive changes in the demographic situation of the country: Entering the reproductive age of a large generation of young women born in the 1980s in recent years. The adoption of measures in the framework of the demographic policy Concept of the Russian Federation for the period until 2025, measures to encourage fertility. The payment of maternity capital.Life...
