Higher Education in Russia

A knowledge management system in the strategic development of universities

“…The main feature lies in setting a goal of strategic development. Kuzminov and Yudkevich [1] point out that goals of strategic development for Russian universities are set by public authorities. There is also a dependence of the national HE system on budget funding, which limits any initiative of universities in choosing their own way of development.…”

“…T he strategic management of a university has to respond in a timely manner to ongoing changes in society, ensuring its development and the fulfillment by the university of its mission [1]. The source of the current transformation is digitalization, which creates new capabilities for universities and new requirements for structure and content of education [2][3][4].…”

Obtaining, crystal structure and nanostructure of Ba2NdFeNb4O15 heteroepitaxial films fabricated by RF sputtering on MgO(001) substrates

“…Materials with the structure of tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) and (A1) 2 (A2) 4 (C) 4 (B1) 2 (B2) 8 O 30 general formula represent the class of objects that crystal structure consists of oxygen octahedra connected between itself so that the triangular, square (A1) and pentagonal (A2) channels are formed [1,2]. Those channels are oriented along the short crystallographic c-axis and can be both empty and completely or partially occupied.…”

“…The factors stabilizing ferroelectric over relaxor behavior are the appearance of the Ima2 commensurate supercell and the sufficiently large average ion size [5]. From the applied point of view, the most well-known representatives of this material class is, for instance, (Sr x Ba 1−x )Nb 2 O 6 (SBN) [2]. In SBN ferroelectric response changes to relaxor for x > 0.5 where the Sr:Ba ratio at A2 sites should be larger than 1:2 [6].…”
