Purpose: Studying urgent problems in the OSH management field in the in European countries to create effective information and analytical support for the OSH management system. Design/methodology/approach: An analytical review of open sources, a comparative analysis of the legislative framework of different countries and logical conclusions based on existing opportunities at the current stage of development of the country were used to study current problems in the field of labour protection management and find ways to create effective information and analytical support. Improved IS "Vizit" was tested for 2018-2019: to identify undeclared labour, the dynamics of various types of labour violations has been studied; to predict the load of inspectors, the quarterly dynamics of inspection actions was studied; the accumulated statistics were processed using multiple regressions; for 22 enterprises, employees of all levels were remotely trained in labour protection issues. Findings: Information and analytical support for the OSH management system has been developed. On the basis of indirect signs it allows to identify undeclared work cases, to predict the labour inspectors’ inspection activities by quarters, to provide effective distance learning of enterprise employees and labour inspectors. The distance learning system for labour protection was tested at 22 enterprises: the head of the enterprise, the heads of departments and employees of the enterprise passed the training. Since 2018 (start to use of this information and analytical support), the dynamics of inspection actions and various types of labour violations have been monitored. Research limitations/implications: Information and analytical support was tested on the example of Ukrainian labour legislation. However, it can be adapted to the legislation of another country. Practical implications: The proposed information and analytical support using indirect evidences provides an opportunity to identify undeclared work and that significantly reduces the inspection visits number in order to monitor and detect violations of the law; makes it possible to predict the inspection activities and the workload of labour inspectors; contributes to the organizations managers and employees’ effective training, and the inspectors training remotely (and therefore is less costly). Originality/value: A non-standard approach to the identification of undeclared work on indirect grounds using information and analytical support for the OSH management system is proposed.
Сучасні аварійно-рятувальні автомобілі комплектуються шинами радіальної конструкції з металокордом в брекері. Однак таким шинам притаманні передчасні і непередбачувані виходи з експлуатації. Виходять з експлуатації 50-70% шин, що не дозволяє реалізувати ресурс шини по зношенню протектора. З метою реалізації ресурсу протектора до повного зношення та підвищення надійності експлуатації шин аварійно-рятувальних автомобілів необхідно визначити причини передчасного виходу шин з експлуатації. Вирішення цього питання привело до вивчення розподілу температури в елементах пневматичної шини, а також визначення впливу конструкції шини на працездатність і надійність аварійно-рятувального автомобіля. При дослідженні причин виходу шин з експлуатації встановлено, що наявність екрану погіршує тепловідвід з каркаса і з усіх шарів шини, чим підвищує їх термонапружений стан. Найбільш термонапруженим є другий шар брекера. Визначено, що наявність рисунка на протекторі покращує умови відводу тепла від шини, в середньому на 30%, перш за все, за рахунок збільшення площі поверхні тепловіддачі. Ці дослідження підтверджують необхідність застосування універсальної форми рисунка протектора для шин аварійно-рятувальних автомобілів. В результаті досліджень встановлено, що навіть при дотриманні правил експлуатації і норм технічного обслуговування можливо підвищити надійність і безпеку руху аварійно-рятувальних автомобілів. На підставі досліджень для збільшення працездатного стану шин пропонується комплектувати аварійно-рятувальні автомобілі шинами спеціальної конструкції. Обґрунтовані пропозиції по конструкції шин аварійно-рятувальних автомобілів. Отримані дані збільшать надійність та безпеку руху аварійно-рятувальних автомобілів при слідуванні до місця виклику
Purpose: To develop a new concept of laboratory support for learners at different levels of education to maintain a high education quality in conditions of limited opportunities, such as lockdown, lack of funding, etc. Design/methodology/approach: To create a new concept, the practical experience of school teachers, educators of technical colleges and universities, research workers, as well as experience of scientists in the educational field published in open information' sources was taken into account. The development of a new concept was carried out from 2014 to 2016, and its implementation, introduction into the educational process, and possible ways to solve technical and organizational difficulties from 2016 to the present. In the last year, special attention was paid to distance learning. Findings: The development and the first practical steps to implement the new concept of updating the laboratory support of educational institutions clearly demonstrate of its practical implementation' feasibility. Positive consequences from the implementation were identified as constant improvement of laboratory equipment, increase in the educators’ level, transformation of virtual distance learning based on lectures and videos into real learning with "live" visual demonstration of physical, chemical, biological and other processes and experimental research. As a recommendation, should wish that at the state level to recommend the implementation of this approach and to propose some legal mechanisms to overcome identified problems. Research limitations/implications: The present study was conducted for Ukrainian educational institutions with the involvement of foreign students from different countries studying in Ukraine. Practical implications: The introduction of a new concept into the educational process in countries with a weak economy will improve the educational quality and reduce the cost of creating laboratory support. Originality/value: Equipment should not only be a teaching tool, but also a teaching subject.
