Annotation: The paper compares two approaches to understanding and implementing digitalization of higher education – technocratic and anthropological ones. The one–dimensionality and riskiness of the technocratic approach, which is based on reducing the digitalization of higher education to informatization, is shown. Within the framework of the opposite – anthropological approach, the importance of the ideas of the new anthropology for overcoming the risks of dehumanization of higher education and depersonalization of educational subjects generated by technocracy, pragmatization, and the cult of the speed of change in universities is substantiated. The concept of “anthropopractics” and the anthropopractical principle of education are revealed. The principles of antireductionism, anthropocentrism and anti-technicism formed the methodological basis of the study, which allowed the author to present the anthropological essence of higher education as a space of practices of self-creation, human self-construction, auto-projecting, self-actualization. The results of the study can become a conceptual basis for overcoming technocracy and the implementation of multidimensional, multilevel anthropologically oriented digitalization processes in universities.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the development of methodological foundations in the field of information models creation. The need for a methodology for the forming of generalized models is due to the continuous increase in the number of new problems and the need to modify existing models. Modification of models within the framework of the methodology allows us to modify solutions to a known problem in order to solve a new one, rather than creating a new solution from scratch. The article formulates and reveals the general principles of creating models in the information field. The systematics of the principles of model forming is presented, which determines the basis for the construction of generalized information models. It is shown that general principles are used to find similarities, while particular principles are aimed at finding differences. A new term “morphological information modeling” is introduced. The categorical aspect and features of the selection of key indicators of generalized models are considered. Morphological methods of model forming and methods of model derivation, which are two types of technologies, are considered. The content of the relationship of proportionality between the object of study and its model is revealed as a necessary condition for the generalized models formation. The use of metamodeling for the forming of generalized information models is noted.

Annotation: The article investigates the likelihood of estimates of widespread relative hyperspectral vegetation indices. The issue of calculating the likelihood of estimates of relative vegetation indices is formulated in conditions when the implemented spectral estimates have a single probability distribution function, and the corresponding probabilistic indicators of these estimates are rigidly interconnected. A non-logarithmic likelihood function is introduced for consideration in relation to relative vegetation indices in which spectral estimates have a normal distribution law. It is determined that for known values of the mathematical expectation of the estimates of the corresponding spectral quantities, the newly introduced likelihood function has a characteristic minimum with a certain value of the coefficient of the relationship between the standard deviations of the used spectral estimates.

Annotation: The article reveals the features of system evolution and the transformation of the concept of emergence of complex systems. The principles of systems evolution are investigated. The characteristics of living systems are described from the standpoint of evolution. Models of evolving systems are described, their features such as recursion, aim variability, multi-purpose management, divisibility are highlighted. It is noted that structural modeling, latent analysis and the identification of implicit knowledge are important in the analysis of systems. It is shown that the evolution of systems can lead to the manifestation of emergence properties. The analysis of some points of view on the concept of emergence is given. The approach to the consideration of matter as a stratified entity that generates the emergence effect is analyzed. Intra-ordinary and trans-ordinary laws of the development and evolution of systems are analyzed. The systematization and generalization of scientific positions and points of view in the field of system evolution and emergence of complex systems is aimed at developing a methodological basis in this area of knowledge. This can become a platform for further scientific research.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of the sources of stress of the modern urban environment in the representation of students and the definition of the main forms of deviant behavior using metaphor. In the modern social conditions of youth, more and more young people exhibit deviant behavior, often without realizing the consequences. Young people can be considered a particularly sensitive social group, subject to the negative impact of urban stress. Modern metropolises are changing rapidly, therefore additional research is required on the impact of their features on human activity and behavior. At the same time, ambiguous situations require the use of methods using ambiguous stimulus material, which does not limit the respondent’s choice with standard formulations, does not predetermine the situation of certainty. The aim of the study is to study the stressors of the modern urban environment in relation to the forms of deviant response to them among students using metaphorical associative maps (MAC). MAC-technique can act as a tool for identifying the susceptibility of representatives of student youth to various stress factors of the urban environment, as well as for subsequent identification of predisposition to a particular type of deviant response as a negative coping with urban stress. The study was conducted based on a qualitative methodology within the framework of the focus group procedure using the MAC tool. The results obtained during the study were processed by methods of frequency analysis and content analysis. As a result, the most typical stressors of the urban environment were identified, projected by representatives of student youth when working with the incentive material of the MAC. The specific negative coping strategies, which are a typical response to the stressful impact of urban environment factors, are also identified and systematized.
