The article examines the needs of students and graduates of universities from among persons with disabilities in additional professional competencies necessary for successful employment in the context of the society digitalisation. The empirical base was the materials of a survey on a representative sample of 140 final year students and graduates with disabilities from the Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and Kurgan regions. As a result, professional competencies were identified that expand their employment opportunities for people in this category: practical professional skills; professional knowledge in the subject area; digital competencies and information technology skills; the ability to work in the media space, including social networks; knowledge of interaction technologies, self-presentation and effective communication; the ability to tell a wide audience about their services, skills, about themselves as a specialist; the ability to promote themselves, their professional competencies and services. The authors of the article substantiate the need to obtain such competencies within the framework of additional professional education. It has been established under what conditions graduates and students with disabilities are ready to receive the additional professional education they need, how the assessments of these competencies differ in groups according to the formation of competencies, employment, disability, types of health disorders and gender. The results of this study indicate the importance of digital competencies for persons with disabilities in current conditions, they are significant for further study of this problem, the implementation of additional professional education programmes.

Inclusive education is regarded as a valuable resource for the development of Russian society. Teachers play a distinctive role in its implementation. The study of this role is based on the principles of structural and functional and systemic approaches, as well as the sociology of education, the sociology of culture, pedagogy, psychology, and the monitoring of inclusive education. The empirical basis of the research was formed by the materials of a quantitative, representative sample and sociological study of the readiness of teachers of higher education institutions to work in inclusive groups, in which students with disabilities are studying. A total of 777 teachers from 23 universities in Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, and Kurgan regions were interviewed in November 2019. The analysis showed that most teachers of higher education institutions support the idea of inclusive education, as well as are ready to work in inclusive groups and have a need for professional training on inclusive higher education. The overwhelming majority of teachers of higher education institutions in the region do not experience any particular psychological difficulties and methodological challenges in working with streams and groups with students with disabilities. Teachers with longstanding teaching experience, associate professors, professors, and people with good knowledge of inclusive education express a greater interest in working with inclusive groups. At the same time, a significant number of teachers of higher education institutions in the region do not support the idea of teaching people with disabilities in inclusive groups. Some teachers are not familiar with or lack knowledge in the concept of inclusive higher education, and they also point to psychological and methodological problems when working in inclusive groups, which is particularly characteristic of young teachers and those who have not taken advanced training on inclusive education. In order to increase the role and responsibility of the teaching staff in inclusive education, it is recommended to continue monitoring it by reaching out to every inclusive group, student, and teacher. Keywords: inclusive higher education, monitoring studies, teacher, student, people with disabilities

In recent years Management of personnel health and safety has gained a new value. Formation of culture of personnel safety creates the possibility of quality increase of level of the guaranteed work safety. The authors explore the essence of such notions as «labour protection culture» and «labour safety culture». They analyze the main factors infl uencing the person’s behavior at modern production site and aggravating technological health risks. The Research has shown that the study of safety culture is inextricably linked to safety climate. The climate of safety opens a way to overcoming social and psychological problems of work safety of the personnel. In this regard, the article provides a list of indicators of safety climate. These indicators can serve as a practical tool for the assessment and recognition of the potential problem areas of the human resource management in the organization.

One of the major environmental problems is emissions of CO2 and other harmful substances from motor vehicles (MV). According to the tests, the most environmentally friendly MV (measurement of emissions on MVs) are electric vehicles (EV). But a low emission level can only be ensured by the use of environmentally friendly sources of electricity used to charge EV: hydroelectric power plants, wind power plants, tidal, geothermal, wave, solar power plants, etc. However, the transmission of electric energy is connected with losses. One of the ways to use them is the application of batteries of photovoltaic converters (PVC) within the EV structure as the most suitable in terms of weight and size characteristics. The use of PVC in MV is not a new idea, but due to the increase in the efficiency of PVC, their relevance becomes more obvious. Purpose of work: development of mathematical models, scientific substantiation and rationale of the calculation method of EV energy efficiency increase by enlarging the cruising range when using PVC batteries. Research methods: methods of ground MV movement theory, system design, theory of electric circuits, mathematical modeling, etc. Results: development and scientific substantiation of the calculation method for a non-flat PVC battery within the EV structure and its effect on run or mileage change. Summary: 1) the mathematical model of EV rectilinear motion on flat non-deformable horizontal ground, suitable for the study of the processes of energy exchange between the EV and PVC batteries and the effect of these processes on the mileage, has been developed; 2) the application of the calculation method for non-flat PVC batteries to be used within the EV structure has been scientifically substantiated.
