Annotation: The article investigates the features of information cascade modeling of information transmission processes in communication systems. The key and distinctive features of the design cascade model and the information cascade model of network processes are highlighted. It is shown that information cascade modeling reflects the integrative process of data transmission as a commutation of information and communication processes. The information cascade in the network environment is considered as a result of the synergistic action of information flows. The dif- ference between the information cascade of the social environment and the technical communication environment is shown. It is noted that the cascade in the social environment is an effort of information influence of agents on consumers. The information cascade in the technical communication environment is considered as a dynamic hier- archy of transmitted content, which has the property of emergence. It is shown that the information cascade model makes it possible to create a tool for studying such factors as information diffusion and the forming of an informa- tion cascade in communication systems. The highlighted features of information cascade modeling of information transmission processes in communication systems provide an expanded understanding of the subject of research in the creation of network systems and technologies and lead to a clarification of the concept of their development.

Annotation: The article describes the experience of creation of a data model of the information system of state (municipal) property management, which ensures the sustainability of the database structure in the conditions of variability of the feature space. The effectiveness of the application of a systematic approach in the formulation of initial methodological positions in the construction of a data model of a complex information system is demonstrated. The article provides a detailed analysis of the structure of the state address register, identifies and demonstrates by examples the systemic signs of violations in the database. Within the framework of existing methodologies and tools for domain-oriented database design, a methodology has been created to increase the degree of database normalization by phasing out systemic signs of violations in the database. An approach to expanding the structure of the state address register based on the exclusion of multi-purpose columns, multi-purpose tables, redundant data, multi-valued columns is proposed. Methods of implementing flexibility schemes that do not use multi-purpose hierarchical entities are discussed. The examples demonstrate the methodological techniques used to increase the degree of normalization of the database in cases where the terms of the source documents are uncertain and/or contradictory.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the organization of psychological support for the professional development of students studying in the direction of “Psychological and pedagogical education”. The analysis of the possibilities of the psychological laboratory as a system tool of personal and professional development of students in the conditions of the organization of higher education is carried out. The theoretical and methodological foundations of the work of the psychological laboratory are presented, its role in promoting the forming of competitive, readyto- solve practical tasks in the upcoming professional activity of teachers-psychologists is revealed. The article systematizes the priority areas of work of the psychological laboratory: the development of effective communication skills, the development of tools for working in the field of child-parent relations, mastering technologies for setting and implementing goals, as well as the basics of psychological counseling. A range of areas of particular relevance for future teachers-psychologists and expanding the scope of tasks facing the staff of the psychological laboratory is outlined. It is shown that the systematic innovative, educational and educational activities of the psychological laboratory contribute to the forming of a scientific, methodological and practical foundation that provides psychological support for the development of a student’s personality.

Annotation: The article explores the morphology and semantics of information figurative models. A new interpretation is introduced into the concepts of “morphology” and “semantics” by establishing a connection between them for a certain type of models. The difference between the morphology of information figurative models and the morphological box and F. Zwicke’s approach is considered. The article develops the idea that morphology and semantics complement each other in figurative information models. The analysis of content and form as the ba- sis of semantics and morphology is carried out. From the standpoint of morphology, the content of uncertainty and fuzziness of information figurative models is revealed. The idea is developing that morphology is a formal characteristic, and semantics is an actual characteristic. It is shown that the structure of the model for abstract situations is formally a morphological indicator. It is noted that there are other situations for which the structure characterizes related semantics and morphology. In these cases, morphological modeling changes the semantics. A figurative analysis of certainty and uncertainty and the concept of “polysemy” is given. Conceptual mixing is considered, a number of procedures for this type of semantic modeling are given. It is noted that semantic and morphological modeling are related for figurative information models. The results of the methodological research are aimed at developing a systematic approach to the development of semantic figurative models in the information field.

Annotation: Responding to the challenges of a changing educational environment and meeting the needs of a new generation of university students, a foreign language teacher is in constant search of relevant didactic tools and technologies. The problem of the cognitive activity reducing of university students of non-linguistic majors in the study of foreign languages remains unresolved. Being a quality of an individual and an important incentive for learning, cognitive activity has a direct impact on the educational process and its result. This justifies the relevance of the research. Choosing the Telegram-channel as a technique for stimulating cognitive activity, the authors rely on studies of the socio-psychological characteristics of Generation Z students, their interests and life strategies. The authors pay special attention on the types of content and ways of presenting information in the Telegram-channel of the educational language group. The practical significance of the research lies in the reflection of the pedagogical experience of the Telegram-channel integration into the educational process, as well as the possibility of using the presented specific types of publications to stimulate the cognitive activity of students in the context of language disciplines.
