A Quantitative Study of Doctoral Candidates in Australia." International Journal of Doctoral Studies 16 (2021): 689–713. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/4875.
Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: This paper investigates the association between publishing during doctoral candidature and completion time. The effects of discipline and of gaining additional support through a doctoral cohort program are also explored. Background: Candidates recognize the value of building a publication track record to improve their career prospects yet are cognizant of the time it takes to publish peer-reviewed articles. In some institutions or disciplines, there is a policy or the expectation that doctoral students will publish during their candidature. However, doctoral candidates are also under increasing pressure to complete their studies within a designated timeframe. Thus, some candidates and faculty perceive the two requirements – to publish and to complete on time – as mutually exclusive. Furthermore, where candidates have a choice in the format that the PhD submission will take, be it by monograph, PhD-by-publication, or a hybrid thesis, there is little empirical evidence available to guide the decision. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of the association between publishing during candidature and time-to-degree and investigates other variables associated with doctoral candidate research productivity and efficiency. Methodology: Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to examine the predictors (discipline [field of research], gender, age group, domestic or international student status, and belonging to a cohort program) of doctoral candidate research productivity and efficacy. Research productivity was quantified by the number of peer-reviewed journal articles that a candidate published as a primary author during and up to 24 months after thesis submission. Efficacy (time-to-degree) was quantified by the number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) years of candidature. Data on 1,143 doctoral graduates were obtained from a single Australian university for the period extending from 2000 to 2020. Complete publication data were available on 707 graduates, and time-to-degree data on 664 graduates. Data were drawn from eight fields of research, which were grouped into the disciplines of health, biological sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, and chemical, earth, and physical sciences. Contribution: This paper addresses a gap in empirical literature by providing evidence of the association between publishing during doctoral candidature and time-to-degree in the disciplines of health, biological sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, and chemical, earth, and physical sciences. The paper also adds to the body of evidence that demonstrates the value of belonging to a cohort program for doctoral student outcomes. Findings: There is a significant association between the number of articles published and median time-to-degree. Graduates with the highest research productivity (four or more articles) exhibited the shortest time-to-degree. There was also a significant association between discipline and the number of publications published during candidature. Gaining additional peer and research-focused support and training through a cohort program was also associated with higher research productivity and efficiency compared to candidates in the same discipline but not in receipt of the additional support. Recommendations for Practitioners: While the encouragement of candidates to both publish and complete within the recommended doctorate timeframe is recommended, even within disciplines characterized by high levels of research productivity, i.e., where publishing during candidature is the “norm,” the desired levels of student research productivity and efficiency are only likely to be achieved where candidates are provided with consistent writing and publication-focused training, together with peer or mentor support. Recommendation for Researchers: Publishing peer-reviewed articles during doctoral candidature is shown not to adversely affect candidates’ completion time. Researchers should seek writing and publication-focused support to enhance their research productivity and efficiency. Impact on Society: Researchers have an obligation to disseminate their findings for the benefit of society, industry, or practice. Thus, doctoral candidates need to be encouraged and supported to publish as they progress through their candidature. Future Research: The quantitative findings need to be followed up with a mixed-methods study aimed at identifying which elements of publication and research-focused support are most effective in raising doctoral candidate productivity and efficacy.

Full textAbstract:
Historical data sources are used by a wide variety of disciplines, but rarely do they look outside their particular research fields at how others are using and applying historical data. The use and application of historical data has grown rapidly over the last couple of decades within the meteorological, geophysical and hydrological disciplines, but have done so relatively independently. By coevolving, each discipline has developed separate themes or areas, with varying degrees of uptake beyond their academic communities. We find that whilst the geophysical discipline has been relatively successful in engaging with international policymakers and stakeholders, this has not been reflected within the meteorological or hydrological disciplines to date. This disparity has occurred for a variety of reasons, including varying scales of disaster and social, political and cultural structures. In examining current developments within the disciplines, evidence suggests that this disparity is lessening, as each are using online databases and some citizen science, but that they continue to evolve independently with little unifying structure or purpose. This continued autonomy makes multi-hazard analysis challenging which, considering the potential that historical datasets present in the emerging field of multi-hazards analysis, is a considerable hindrance to this field of research. In looking forward, opportunities emerge for improved understanding of the risks presented to societies by natural hazards in the past, but also for examining how resilience, behaviour and adaptation alter during periods of repose.

Full textAbstract:
This study documents women paleobotanists and their achievements from the late 1920s to the early 1970s in Germany. More than forty women were involved in paleobotanical research and related fields during this period. After they had finished their degrees, about two thirds of them left the field for private, political, and/or economic reasons. Several of them, however, had a successful career or were even leaders in their field. Compared with other disciplines and neighbouring countries, the unusually late entry of women students into this discipline from the 1930s on is explained by the close affiliation of the discipline with Paleozoic geology and mining in Germany before 1945. It is significant that of the thirteen women who finished a degree in the field before 1945, about two thirds studied Quaternary pollen analysis and vegetation history. Only a minority was involved in pre-Quaternary paleobotany. After World War II, the number of women scientists increased noticeably only when Tertiary palynology/paleobotany became more important sub-disciplines of paleobotany, a pattern which was similar in both parts of the newly divided country. During the period between 1945 and 1955, the number of women students in West Germany was significantly higher than in the East. This is partly explained by the policies of the East German communist party, which put restrictions on women students from a middle-class background. Between 1955 and 1973 the number of women students in East Germany exceeded those in the West. This was due to the East German party policy of activating the female working force, especially in fields which had been traditionally occupied by men, such as geology, mining, and engineering.

Full textAbstract:
<span lang="EN-US">The study of learners’ conceptions of geological concepts has been the subject of several studies in the field of earth science didactics. The majority of these studies show that learners have misconceptions that can be an obstacle to learning Earth sciences. The present work aimed to identify the views of second year undergraduate students on plate tectonics to identify some of the barriers to teaching this unifying scientific theory across the different disciplines of the Earth sciences. The data was gathered with questionnaire administered to students in the second year of the Baccalaureate before teaching about plate tectonics. The results of our study confirmed that student learners do indeed have conceptions of plate tectonics and associated phenomena but have great difficulty in mobilizing their knowledge to explain geological phenomena related to plate tectonics. These difficulties may have several origins: the nature of the geological knowledge transposed, and the very limited knowledge of teachers with a bachelor’s degree in Biology.</span><p> </p>

"Geoarchaeology within the system of archaeological research in the territory of Baikal Siberia." VESTNIK ARHEOLOGII, ANTROPOLOGII I ETNOGRAFII, no. 3(54) (August 27, 2021): 133–46. http://dx.doi.org/10.20874/2071-0437-2021-54-3-11.
Full textAbstract:
The value of geoarchaeology in archaeological research is discussed with an example of Baikal Siberia. Geoarchaeology is considered as an interface between archaeology and Earth sciences comprising a specific set of approaches, methods, and procedures. Nowadays, geoarchaeology constitutes a full-fledged research branch within the world archaeological practice. However, there are some problems in the determination of the essence and the role of geoarchaeology in archaeological studies, especially in Russia. In particular, the question whether geoarchaeology represents an independent discipline or an interdisciplinary approach has not been resolved yet. Moreover, archaeologists often focus on increasing the number of analytical methods to the detriment of their conceptual basis. In the Russian archaeological practice, the uncertain role of geoarchaeology is manifested by its perception as an auxiliary discipline with limited capabilities for the archaeological interpretations. As a result of many years of research on archaeological sites of Baikal Siberia, we have developed our own concept of geoarchaeology as a source study with a transdisciplinary character. It is based on four principles. Firstly, in our opinion, geoarchaeology constitutes a source study discipline with its own research methods. Geoarchaeological assessment represents one of the most important verification methods aimed at the determination of the degree of correspondence between the results of archaeological and natural science data. Secondly, the main object of research is a geoarchaeological object, which is a composite integral system with a mixture of traces of natural and anthropogenic events encrypted in it. We define the layer with cultural remains, where the natural component predominates, as ‘culture-bearing’. The layer with the predominantly anthropogenic component can be called ‘cultural’. Thirdly, geoarchaeology should be a transdisciplinary branch, the nature of which is determined by the complex origins of the geoarchaeological site. Such an amalgamation allows overcoming disciplinary differences and contradictions which leads to the formation of new knowledge levels. At fourth, geoarchaeological research should be based principally on the methods of actualism and stratigraphy in conjunction with overcoming misidentification of objects and phenomena, as well as on the pedolithological and event-driven approaches.

This study aims to determine the implementation of dhuha prayer activities at MTs Insan Sejati, and the discipline within the school. In addition, this study aims to determine the extent of the role of dhuha prayer activities in shaping student discipline at MTs Insan Sejati. So that it can be obtained the percentage of the extent to which this dhuha prayer activity affects student discipline in everyday life. In this study, the method used is the correlation method, so that it will be obtained whether there is a relationship between the independent variable (Dhuha Prayer) and the dependent variable (Student Discipline), the subjects in this study were all 70 students of MTs Insan Sejati. The results of the calculation of the correlation coefficient between the dhuha prayer activity variable (X) and the student discipline variable (Y) obtained an rcount of 0.850. Thus, when compared to the value of rcount with rtable, by taking a significance level of 5% and degrees of freedom N – 2 = 70 – 2 = 68. Based on the results of rxy and rtable values at a significance level of 5%, the results obtained are rcount of 0.850 and rtable of 0.250. Thus, the value of rcount > rtable = 0.850 > 0.250. This shows that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected, meaning that there is a significant influence between the congregational dhuha prayer (X) on student discipline (Y).

The purpose of the study was to experimentally test and establish the degree of effectiveness of strategic directions for the application of the educational potential of physical culture within the educational process of the university. The scientific novelty lies in the justification of the need for the introduction of educational functions and their implementation within the discipline: "Elective courses in physical culture and sports". The adequacy of the methods used allowed us to obtain reliable results indicating the confirmation of the hypothesis put forward by us and the achievement of the set research goal, which assumes a high degree of efficiency of introducing scientifically based and presented strategic directions of the application of educational functions of physical culture into the educational process of the university. As a result, the proposed strategic directions can be used in the educational process of any university, within the framework of which the program "Elective courses in physical culture and sports" is being implemented.

The process of making career choices is complex since there are diverse factors affecting students’selection of programs when they enrol in higher and tertiary institutions. Just like in any other discipline,tourism and hospitality management graduates are affected by various factors when deciding theircareers post-graduation. Preliminary studies have shown that a significant percentage of tourism andhospitality graduates divert from tourism to some other, sometimes totally unrelated, industries foremployment. This study seeks to discover tourism and hospitality degree graduates’ perceptions andcareer attainment in Zimbabwe. The following critical questions were asked in order to achieve theobjective of the study; Why do they enrol for the tourism/hospitality program in the first place, that iswhat factors affect the students’ selection process of tertiary education programs? and why do someend up in totally different fields after graduating? Qualitative research approach was adopted in orderto understand the graduates’ perceptions, data was collected by the way of interviews. Data wasanalysed using the thematic approach. Findings revealed that while most of the graduates are employedin the tourism and hospitality industry in Zimbabwe, they are not satisfied with their jobs. Some feel thatthey studied tourism/hospitality as a last resort hence they do not have satisfaction while others areonly in the industry because they do not have an option. Poor working conditions and poor remuneration were also cited as causes of dissatisfaction. There are however a significant number who do not regrettheir career choice.

Full textAbstract:
The paper explores linguistic means employed by translators of Ch. Brontё’s novel “Jane Eyre” to reconstruct Jane’s appearance and character. Two translations into Russian, made by V. Stanevich and I. Gurova, were compared. The study shows that in the translations discussed the image of the character differs in the following aspects. In V. Stanevich’s translation Jane is more spontaneous, in a lesser degree rationalist, less strict towards herself and other people, less absorbed in self-examination. In I. Gurova’s translation Jane’s self-control and self-discipline, her strictness towards herself and the others are emphasized. V. Stanevich is more likely to emphasize positive connotations, while I. Gurova prefers a more negative colouring. I. Gurova looks to the values of the source culture, thus, Jane appears in her translation as a typical Englishwoman, and the reader never forgets that the book is about another country. Meanwhile, V. Stanevich looks to the values of the target culture, and Jane’s image is represented as a universal archetype in her translation.

Full textAbstract:
The University of Glasgow Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree programme is a practical clinical professionally regulated discipline. Given the mode of transmission of SARS Cov-2 the dental profession and associated programmes of study have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating a rapid pivot to online and blended learning. This case study shows how the work of early adopters of technology enhanced learning and teaching (TELT) at the dental school, and a timely staff-student partnership helped to lay the foundations for this pivot in response to the challenges brought about by the pandemic.
A large amount of teaching required modification and adaptation to support remote delivery and, through collaboration, innovation and supported creativity, we were able to produce some very effective models for learning and teaching. To illustrate this, two specific examples have been presented: a novel approach to support the delivery of essential local anaesthesia training for second year dental students using collaborative wikis and online learning; and the use Microsoft Teams to support student integration and a sense of community among our first year dental students through active, small group collaborative learning.
The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have provided the opportunity to align the teaching of practical skills with technology and instil a positive shift in institutional practices. The effectiveness of this shift within the BDS degree programme and the impact on the development of our students will remain the focus of the school’s TELT partnership.

Full textAbstract:
The development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology and the miniaturization of sensors have changed the way remote sensing (RS) is used, popularizing this geoscientific discipline in other fields, such as precision agriculture. This makes it necessary to implement the use of these technologies in teaching RS alongside the classical platforms (satellite and manned aircraft). This manuscript describes how The Higher Technical School of Agricultural Engineering at the University of Córdoba (Spain) has introduced UAV RS into the academic program by way of project-based learning (PBL). It also presents the basic characteristics of PBL, the design of the subject, the description of the teacher-guided and self-directed activities, as well as the degree of student satisfaction. The teaching and learning objectives of the subject are to learn how to determine the vigor, temperature, and water stress of a crop through the use of RGB, multispectral, and thermographic sensors onboard a UAV platform. From the onset, students are motivated, actively participate in the tasks related to the realization of UAV flights, and subsequent processing and analysis of the registered images. Students report that PBL is more engaging and allows them to develop a better understanding of RS.

Full textAbstract:
Research into the nature and function of curricular matters in applied geography has provided an opportunity to assess the penetration and relative importance of geospatial technology to the discipline of geography. Departments of Geography with degree programs in applied geography were surveyed to find out how important geospatial technology was in the preparation of students for meaningful jobs and careers. The Applied Geography Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) was also surveyed about the value of geospatial technology, as was the 95 academic programs that listed applied geography as a “program specialty” in the AAG Guide to Geography Programs in the Americas. There was a uniform agreement across these various groups that geospatial technology occupied an extremely important position in their overall course offerings, and if you are watching the workplace, such courses are not only sensible but offer critical employable skills for students upon graduation. It is widely known that geospatial technology education and training require a large commitment of departmental resources, including faculty lines, equipment expenditures, space, and technical support. A geography department and its university’s administration have to understand these unique requirements and allocate resources, more akin to a computer science department than a traditional academic unit. This reality is of immediate importance to geography departments because almost one quarter of all academic jobs advertised in geography over the last six years have been in the broad area of geospatial technology. A final conclusion to this research is a policy matter that suggests geography departments take a strong proprietorial position toward providing education in geospatial technology because other disciplines and training programs see opportunities in a rapidly expanding workplace skill and they are aggressively pursuing a niche of their own.

The article deals with the level of loyalty of the personnel of construction enterprises. The comprehensive methodology. recommendations for its improvement are developed. The comprehensive methods include the following methods: assessing staff turnover, determining the degree of team cohesion, assessing the state of moral and psychological climate, determining the level of work discipline, assessing the level of motivation based on self-esteem and direct assessment of loyalty by L. Porter’s method “Organizational Loyalty Questionnaire” V. Dominyak. The base of the study was five enterprises of Zaporizhia, the main type of economic activity of which according to the NACE belongs to group 42.2 “Construction of communications”. Among the surveyed organizations were medium and small enterprises, the total number of employees of which was 487 people. The application of a comprehensive methodology for assessing the level of loyalty of construction personnel allowed to determine that the average corresponds to a satisfactory level, due to: the average level of group cohesion of labor collectives; unsatisfactory state of moral and psychological climate in small production groups; the absence of any programs at enterprises to ensure and improve labor discipline of staff; low level of motivational influence of organizational culture and the desire for self-realization of workers. Solving certain problems of the internal environment of enterprises will significantly increase the level of staff loyalty. The main directions of organizational change should be: conducting team-building activities; control and improvement of working conditions of staff; moral and material incentives for staff; analysis and forecasting of potential loyalty / disloyalty of new employees; development of a program for adaptation of new employees; development of methods of working with disloyal staff; development of a program for the development and improvement of professional competencies of staff; improvement and development of organizational culture of enterprises; formation of loyalty of the personnel of the enterprises through realization of the program of social responsibility.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose - This paper analyzes the student determinants of college non-completion and estimates the effects of each determinant on college non-completion. Design/methodology/approach – We use student panel data from a large Korean university from 2011 to 2021. Our results are from estimation of fixed-effects logit model. Findings – The results show that grade point average, participation in extracurricular activities, the number of counseling sessions with teachers, and financial aid are the main determinants of college non-completion. Academic probation, which is defined as any person who has a cumulative grade point average below a one point seven five, increases the non-completion rate by 2.6 percentage points and an one-point rise in extracurricular activities index reduces the rate by 0.1 percentage points. The effects of each determinant are heterogeneous across student sub-groups which are separated by gender, nationality, and academic discipline. Research implications or Originality - Tailored support programs for academically discouraged students that incorporate student characteristics and backgrounds are necessary to increase college completion rates and degree attainment.

Full textAbstract:
Higher education has a rich history of pedagogical innovation and of championing blended and online learning for its students. However, the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic required quick action to enable courses and programmes to be delivered remotely – almost overnight. Following this initial shift, preparations were made to prepare for the worst and expect the best with a new academic year on the horizon. Academics and professional services staff came together to tackle the most challenging change in higher education in more than a generation. This case study shares two models created out of the process of supporting this transition at a Scottish university. The first model provides a route and process for shifting degree course components (i.e. courses or modules) to remote learning and teaching, which can also be used to provide consistency across a degree programme in order to enhance the student experience. The second model was inspired by a cycle used in professional media practice and was adapted to encourage active learning to be embedded at the grassroots of the curriculum – essentially in every teaching and learning event. Drawing on feedback from academics involved in the process, this article identifies the lessons learned from supporting the transition of delivery that mainly had an on-campus first approach (with varying elements of blended learning), to one that features pedagogical innovation at its forefront and is now set to remain permanently in the curricula. This paper will also reflect on how the process of revamping teaching and learning due to short-term necessity has provided an opportunity for curriculum development that embraces a range of sound academic practice, including: active learning; establishing effective communication channels; community building; managing students’ expectations; as well as retaining “jewels of the curriculum” (Cousin, 2006).

The theories and application of translation have been investigated primarily from the perspective of researchers, accredited translators, translation teachers, and trainers. This study examines the lenses through which translation students are motivated to embark on the journey of translation. Whereas translation has long been considered to be an art in which translators principally rely on their talent and passion, or a profession in which practitioners are expected to have acquired necessary skills, translation has gained status as an academic discipline on its own in the past few decades. This paper aims to examine how students from different ethnic backgrounds perceive translation to be while studying the subject at university. To do so, a research questionnaire is devised to obtain students’ perceptions of translation as to whether they perceive it to be an art, craft, or science. The questionnaire aims at translation students from diverse ethnic backgrounds, specifically: Arabic, Kurdish, and Persian. The results reveal that the student participants perceive translation to be a combination of the three elements of art, craft and science but to slightly varying degrees.

The syllabus of a subject, that is part of the curriculum of a bachelor’s or master's degree, must provide the student with information about all the fundamental aspects of the subject. It is a piece of written document or multimedia file encompassing all topics and concepts that will be covered in a certain subject. The objective of the syllabus is to put the subject and the information related to it in context by means of clear, organized, concise and summarized style. It should not be limited only to the subject matter. Instead, it is advisable to provide basic course information such as the number of credits; course content; transversal competences, skills and attitudes that are relevant for access to work and further learning; faculty staff; assessment and evaluation elements; calendar; venues, and facilities location; lesson plans and bibliography. Moreover, information about the activities to be carried out and whether they are done individually or in groups. Another important point is the evaluation of students and how to assess their achievements in terms of the level of acquisition of knowledge and skills planned in the subject. It helps students to meet the desired subject objectives and to motivate them. In short, it will lay the foundations so that at least contents, methods and techniques of the discipline that supports the subject can be taught and so that students can acquire the knowledge and competences committed.

It has been around 20-25 years since the internet was first developed for public use, and since then the number of users has been increasing exponentially. In a recent report, there are around 313 million internet users, out of which 276.8 million are mobile internet users and internet penetration is 90.3% (Johnson, 2021). With the development of wireless telecommunication technology and mobile devices, use of the internet access has been increasing. From the first generation (1G) of cellular networks to the current 5th Generation (5G), there has been a huge improvement in the data rate, coverage, and security that made it possible to have the internet on mobile phones. The internet in mobile devices has existed since 2G and was used for checking emails and browsing the web (Yamauchi et al., 2005). It is important that users should accept new technology. In this study, acceptance, and usage of the 5G technology that was investigated in a survey of students from the engineering discipline of Gannon University. This work describes the usage of a statistical technique called the technology acceptance model to determine the engineering students perception of the degree to which the 5G technology is accepted and useful. It aims to answer the research questions of whether perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use a ect the actual usage of 5G technology among engineering students, as they tend to bend towards new technology because of the high involvement of technology in engineering studies. This work aims to answer, to what extent perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use determine the usage of 5G technology among the selected group of participants.

Introduction: Patient and public involvement (PPI) aims to improve the quality, relevance, and appropriateness of research and ensure that it meets the needs and expectations of those affected by particular conditions to the greatest possible degree. The evidence base for the positive impact of PPI on clinical research continues to grow, but the role of PPI in preclinical research (an umbrella term encompassing ‘basic’, ‘fundamental’, ‘translational’ or ‘lab-based’ research) remains limited. As funding bodies and policymakers continue to increase emphasis on the relevance of PPI to preclinical research, it is timely to map the PPI literature to support preclinical researchers involving the public, patients, or other service users in their research. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to explore the literature on patient and public involvement in preclinical research from any discipline. Methods: This scoping review will search the literature in Medline (PubMed), Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and OpenGrey.net to explore the application of PPI in preclinical research. This review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines for scoping reviews. It will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Two reviewers will independently review articles for inclusion in the final review. Data extraction will be guided by the research questions. The PPI advisory panel will then collaboratively identify themes in the extracted data. Discussion: This scoping review will provide a map of current evidence surrounding preclinical PPI, and identify the body of literature on this topic, which has not been comprehensively reviewed to date. Findings will inform ongoing work of the research team, support the work of other preclinical researchers aiming to include PPI in their own research, and identify knowledge and practice gaps. Areas for future research will be identified.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The dynamics of Russian sociology research are analyzed for the period of 1993—2020. Methods. The sources of information for the study were three databases on the Web of Science platform: SSCI, SCI-E, and A&HCI. The main method of research was bibliometric analysis. Results and Discussion. The percentage of publications in sociology among the social sciences in the world as a whole has gradually declined over the 28-year period: from 4.7 % in 1993 to 2.3 % in 2020. The decline in the same indicator for Russian publications began only in 2008. It should be noted that this indicator is significantly higher than that for the world as a whole: the average percentage of publications in sociology for the entire period for the world was 3.2 %, for Russia — 16.4 %. The percentage of the world's Open Access publications in sociology is lower than that for the social sciences as a whole, but the growth rate is very high: 1.7 % in 1993 and 34.1 % in 2020. In the case of Russian sociology publications, the Open Access system has only become relatively active in 2013. In 2020, the total percentage of such publications was 7.9 %. Two approaches were used to define the thematic range of sociology research and the level of sociology's connection to other scientific fields. One is based on identifying publications that are common to two of the scientific fields under study, the other involves on identifying publications that were simultaneously cited in different scientific fields. Application of these approaches demonstrated that the second approach, as compared with the first, allowed to reveal much more extensive thematic connections of sociology with other scientific directions. At the same time, the application of rank correlation methods showed that the results obtained using these two different approaches are characterized by a sufficient degree of consistency. Conclusion. The data obtained on the percentage of publications in sociology in national and world science can be used by various state and public structures in the development of scientific policy in the field of social sciences. Data on sociology's connections with other disciplines and their quantitative characteristics can serve as background material for subsequent qualitative (substantive) analysis of these connections.

Abstract. Biogeochemistry has an important role to play in many environmental issues of current concern related to global change and air, water, and soil quality. However, reliable predictions and tangible implementation of solutions, offered by biogeochemistry, will need further integration of disciplines. Here, we refocus on how further developing and strengthening ties between biology, geology, chemistry, and social sciences will advance biogeochemistry through (1) better incorporation of mechanisms, including contemporary evolutionary adaptation, to predict changing biogeochemical cycles, and (2) implementing new and developing insights from social sciences to better understand how sustainable and equitable responses by society are achieved. The challenges for biogeochemists in the 21st century are formidable and will require both the capacity to respond fast to pressing issues (e.g., catastrophic weather events and pandemics) and intense collaboration with government officials, the public, and internationally funded programs. Keys to success will be the degree to which biogeochemistry can make biogeochemical knowledge more available to policy makers and educators about predicting future changes in the biosphere, on timescales from seasons to centuries, in response to climate change and other anthropogenic impacts. Biogeochemistry also has a place in facilitating sustainable and equitable responses by society.

According to the genetic classification of borrowings, one of the largest groups of foreign language vocabulary in European languages is formed by lexemes of Latin origin. They are the result of interaction between languages, which are often characterized by a significant degree of genetic and temporal distances. In the article the terminology of Forest industry with the most common terminological elements of Latin and Greek origin is analyzed. Element – is not a word, but a part of the word (prefix, suffix, root), which is being in grammatical relationship with the other elements, forms independent words-terms. Thus, the element “micro” has no complete meaning of the words but it has the specific semantic loading, which is transferred by the concept “small, not big one”. In words-terms, it indicates the correlation of those words and constant objects, phenomena. And the precise scientific definition is received by term in the process of studying the specific scientific discipline. Knowledge of the structure of term’s elements explains the meaning of foreign language term, it helps in better understanding. It is well-known that the terms reflects either one dominant or secondary, or occasional feature, underlying the phenomenon, which reflects, such as color, shape etc. Terminology concept with elements of Greek and Latin origin in the Forest field, can be grouped into major thematic sections. The initial point for placing elements is a substantive concept, followed by an element that expresses this concept, the indicator of the origin of element, its importance in translation. Elements are usually placed according to antonymous meaning (micro – macro). Due to the polysemy some elements get into different sections. The group of terms, in which ancient Greek and Latin term elements are distinguishes is very numerous. Terms, formed with the help of classical elements, reflect the process of adaptation (in bigger or less degree) by modern languages. Thus, the group of terms with the initial parts, the etymons of which are Greek and Latin languages, get into synonymous relations, varying, intersecting or overlapping each other . The doublet terms – are the words or phrases that are combined by special terminological correlation with the same scientific concepts and object of reality. Thus, a large part of Greek and Latin elements in the terms and terminological combinations function as units of scientific style (root words, derivation and other elements) have the ability to influence the linguistic and cultural nature of language, and, thanks to aesthetically complete words, they intellectualize both speech and a speaker, the a specialist of the field.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractUsing a literature review, this paper defines the knowledge status of smoked reindeer meat and investigates to what degree reindeer herders’ traditional knowledge has been included in scientific articles and grey literature. We developed a four-level categorisation of the degree of including traditional knowledge, from “non-participation” to “self-determination,” and three levels of focus. Very few scientific articles on smoked or smoking reindeer meat appeared in the review. Not only did reindeer peoples’ traditional meat smoking knowledge “went up in smoke”—both literally and metaphorically—but also incorrect conclusions were often drawn as a result of that exclusion. We argue that reindeer herders’ traditional knowledges and practices of smoking reindeer meat need examination and inclusion through co-production or self-determination methods across scientific disciplines.

Crystallography has a long history of providing knowledge and methods for applications in other disciplines. The identification of minerals using X-ray diffraction is one of the most important contributions of crystallography to earth sciences. However, when the crystal itself has been dissolved, replaced or deeply modified during the geological history of the rocks, diffraction information is not available. Instead, the morphology of the crystal cast provides the only crystallographic information on the original mineral phase and the environment of crystal growth. This article reports an investigation of crystal pseudomorphs and crystal casts found in a carbonate-chert facies from the 3.48 Ga-old Dresser Formation (Pilbara Craton, Australia), considered to host some of the oldest remnants of life. A combination of X-ray microtomography, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and crystallographic methods has been used to reveal the original phases of these Archean pseudomorphs. It is found with a high degree of confidence that the original crystals forming in Archean times were hollow aragonite, the high-temperature polymorphs of calcium carbonate, rather than other possible alternatives such as gypsum (CaSO4·2H20) and nahcolite (NaHCO3). The methodology used is described in detail.

Abstract. To make advances in the fire discipline, as well as in the study of CO2 emissions, it is of great interest to develop a global database with estimators of the degree of biomass consumed by fire, which is defined as burn severity. In this work we present the first global burn severity database (MOSEV database), which is based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) surface reflectance and burned area (BA) products from November 2000 to near real time. To build the database we combined Terra MOD09A1 and Aqua MYD09A1 surface reflectance products to obtain dense time series of the normalized burn ratio (NBR) spectral index, and we used the MCD64A1 product to identify BA and the date of burning. Then, we calculated for each burned pixel the difference of the NBR (dNBR) and its relativized version (RdNBR), as well as the post-burn NBR, which are the most commonly used burn severity spectral indices. The database also includes the pre-burn NBR used for calculations, the date of the pre- and post-burn NBR, and the date of burning. Moreover, in this work we have compared the burn severity metrics included in MOSEV (dNBR, RdNBR and post-burn NBR) with the same ones obtained from Landsat-8 scenes which have an original resolution of 30 m. We calculated the Pearson's correlation coefficients and the significance of the relationships using 13 pairs of Landsat scenes randomly distributed across the globe, with a total BA of 6904 km2 (n=32 163). Results showed that MOSEV and Landsat-8 burn severity indices are highly correlated, particularly the post-burn NBR (R=0.88; P<0.001), and dNBR (R=0.74; P<0.001) showed stronger relationships than RdNBR (R=0.42; P<0.001). Differences between MOSEV and Landsat-8 indices are attributable to variability in reflectance values and to the different temporal resolution of both satellites (MODIS: 1–2 d; Landsat: 16 d). The database is structured according to the MODIS tiling system and is freely downloadable at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4265209 (Alonso-González and Fernández-García, 2020).

Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” is the first Bulgarian and the highest academic institution with more than a century long educational and scientific traditions. Geology is part of the university from the very beginning in the area of Natural sciences. It is an example of the effective interaction between the educational processes and implementation of science, technology and innovation. The scientific activities of Sofia University have been developing along with the research priorities, lecture courses, field work and their implementation into practice.The degree programs in Geology were set up at the end of the 19th century, just 3 years after foundation of the Sofia University. The first lectures in Geology and Mineralogy dates back to 1891 when the Department for Natural History at the Sofia University started. They both form the basis of education and research in the field of Geology in Bulgaria. The main contribution in the beginning for the development of teaching and research belongs to remarkable scientists like Prof. Georgi Zlatarski, Prof. Georgi Bonchev, Prof. Stefan Bonchev, Prof. Lazar Vankov, Prof. Dimitar Yaranov and so many others. Faculty of Biology, Geology and Geography inherits the Faculty of Natural History, but is later divided.Faculty of Geology and Geography in Sofia University was formed in 1963 and till now the geology is studied in a regular form of education. There are Bachelor, Master and PhD degrees with duration of 8, 3 and 6 semesters respectively. The Bachelor Degree provides fundamental knowledge in all geological disciplines. The Master Degree covers a wide range of educational and scientific research work carried out in specialized, well-equipped laboratories for investigation of geological objects. PhD Degree is a basic form of organized training for highly qualified graduates in all spheres of geological science and practice.The teaching process in the Faculty focuses on the lectures and seminars, as well as on the individual forms of education – tasks, course and diploma thesis works, laboratory and field practices. The educational practices - stationary and field trips to certain geological, mining or economic sites are regularly held after the end of the summer semesters. Modern profile of Geology means that students obtain detailed knowledge on structure, tectonics, geological features, underground and surface processes of the Earth as well as regularities for the accumulation and distribution of ores, non-metalliferous raw materials, coal, oil and gas.The implementation of geological education into practice is supported by student membership in various society and sections. The specific activities focus student interests in organized working groups, participation in field trips and applied research. These non-profit organizations integrate in the best way geological traditions from the industry and knowledge from university into the future career development of young people. The Sofia University SEG Student Chapter supports student field trips with the idea to provide understanding of main geological characteristics of the visited geological sites and obtain specific skills of investigation and mining exploration. The Sofia University Student Chapter of AAPG actively contributes to student community growth, enriching educational culture and expanding geological expertise of its members in the field of Petroleum geology.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the monograph Essays on the History of Hydrochemistry in Ukraine (author Valentyn Khilchevskyi – professor at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv), published in 2020.This is the first such monographic study. The monograph is devoted to the history of hydrochemical studies of surface waters in Ukraine. In the introductory part, an excursion on this issue was carried out in the XVIII-XIX centuries. The first part of the book is devoted to a review of hydrochemical studies of surface waters and their quality, which were carried out by Ukrainian scientists of the institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, industry institutions and institutions of higher education (1920-2020). As the author of the monograph notes, today scientific hydrochemical schools have been preserved at the Institute of Hydrobiology of the NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv), the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Institute of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv). They are engaged in hydrochemistry at the Ukrainian Institute of Environmental Problems (Kharkov). Among the higher educational institutions, it is worth noting the scientific hydrochemical school of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, which has a prominent place in the development of the educational and methodological base, the creation of the first basic textbooks on hydrochemistry in Ukraine. They deal with individual issues of hydrochemistry at Odessa State Ecological University, Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Yuriy Fedkovich Chernivtsi National University, Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European National University (Lutsk), National University of Water Management and Nature Management (Rivne). The second part describes the formation and history of the scientific hydrochemical school of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (1970-2020), to which the author himself belongs. The information and facts presented in the monograph will be of extreme value from the standpoint of studying the history of hydrochemistry by young scientists, since today there is a reform in science and education, new concepts and terms are being introduced. For example, the nomenclature of the names of specialties is changing. So, the recruitment of graduate students of hydrologists-hydrochemists since 2016 is already carried out in specialty 103 “Earth Sciences” to the educational and scientific program “Hydrology”. And from 2021, it is planned to completely switch to a new form of defense of dissertations (in particular, the degree of candidate of sciences will be replaced by the degree of Doctor of Philosophy). The book will be useful to scientists and practitioners dealing with issues of hydrochemistry and water quality, teachers and students studying hydrochemical and hydroecological disciplines.

Groundwater science and technology is among the most rapidly developing branches of earth science globally. Interdisciplinarity poses both a challenge and a historical mission for graduate education in groundwater science and technology. This paper first analyzes the characteristics of domestic and international graduate education in groundwater science and technology. In addition, taking the China University of Geosciences (Beijing) as an example, it shows the history and development of the field in China. The results indicate that: (1) the graduate courses in groundwater science and technology in China are based on the characteristics of geoscientific research and closely integrate the advantages in environmental studies, ecology, and computer science to promote cross-fertilization across disciplines, departments, and universities; (2) after a few twists and turns in conferring master’s and PhD degrees and in the construction of the discipline, groundwater science and technology has witnessed an increase in faculty members, expansion of the field of study, and the addition of modern educational and research facilities; (3) an increasing number of graduate students conduct research into the quality and safety of water supplies, rehabilitation technology of polluted water bodies, environment protection of river basin ecosystems, and so on.

Full textAbstract:
Map art has been mentioned only briefly in geographic or cartographic literature, and has been analyzed almost entirely at the interpretive level. This paper attempts to define and evaluate the cartographic value of contemporary map-like art by placing the body of work as a whole in the theoretical concepts proposed by J.M. Blaut and his colleagues about mapping as a cognitive and cultural universal. This paper discusses how map art resembles mapping characteristics similar to those observed empirically in very young children as described in the publications of Blaut and others. The theory proposes that these early mapping skills are later structured and refined by their social context and practice. Diverse cultural contexts account for the varieties, types, and degrees of mapping behavior documented with time and geographic place. The dynamics of early mapping are compared to mapping techniques employed by artists. The discipline of fine art serves as the context surrounding map artists and their work. My visual analysis, research about the art and the artists, and interviews with artists and curators form the basis of my interpretation of these works within varied and multiple contexts of late 20th century map art.

The article examines the defined and characterized currently existing methods of researching the liquidity and solvency of domestic enterprises. According to the results of the research of numerous studies, the “most optimal” interpretations of the concepts of “liquidity” and “solvency” of the enterprise were determined according to the authors. The authors defined the purpose, tasks and functions of the analysis of liquidity and solvency of the enterprise. It was found that today the majority of domestic scientists propose to conduct their research in two directions: directly analyze the balance sheet of the enterprise and calculate a certain set of relative indicators (coefficients). For a more in-depth study of the company’s liquidity and solvency, the authors of the article suggest using an analysis methodology that includes: 1) analysis of the company’s balance sheet liquidity, by comparing assets grouped by the degree of liquidity with liabilities grouped by maturity; 2) assessment of the company’s financial condition as of the reporting date, in the short- and long-term perspective with determination of the type of its sustainability: absolute, normal, pre-crisis (critical) and crisis; 3) calculation and analysis of the main indicators of liquidity (the amount of own working capital, coefficients of absolute, term and total liquidity, liquidity coefficients of reserves, funds in accounts, the ratio of payables and receivables, the mobility of assets and the ratio of assets); 4) calculation of indicators of current solvency (coefficients of securing current assets with own working capital, total solvency, financial leverage (risk), restoration (losses) of solvency, ratio of net current assets to net assets, share of payables in equity and receivables), integral indicator and the general indicator of solvency. Also, the authors suggest supplementing the analysis of the company’s liquidity by calculating the value of the “working capital” indicator, which is determined by two methods “from below” and “from above”. According to the authors, the analysis of the company’s liquidity and solvency using this method will allow a consistent and thorough investigation of the company’s means of payment and obligations, which will become a solid basis for the development of management decisions in the direction of increasing the company’s solvency in particular and strengthening its financial discipline in general.

Deste modo, o trabalho no/do campo é uma temática fértil para ser considerada na formação de professores para a EJA. Neste artigo, assumimos as reflexões de Miguel Arroyo como referencial teórico para a formação de professores para a EJA e apresentamos a experiência pedagógica frente à disciplina de EJA em um curso de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo no Estado de Minas Gerais com o propósito de discutir a potencialidade do trabalho no/do campo, enquanto prática social para a prática pedagógica de futuros professores da EJA do campo. As informações provêm de 52 trabalhos finais da disciplina ao longo dos anos de 2019 e 2020. Podemos observar um grande número de práticas sociais emergentes dos contextos dos licenciandos, predominantemente do campo, com destaque para o cultivo e/ou produção de derivados da mandioca. Percebemos ainda a existência de conhecimentos matemáticos e científicos nestas práticas o que possibilitou aos licenciandos a proposição de aulas para contextos de EJA, utilizando-se da potencialidade da temática para um diálogo entre a atividade exercida pelos trabalhadores da EJA e os conhecimentos escolares.

Thus, peasant work is a fertile topic to be considered in the training of teachers for EJA. In this article, we take Miguel Arroyo's reflections as a theoretical framework for teacher education for EJA and present the pedagogical experience facing the EJA discipline in a degree course in Rural Education in the State of Minas Gerais with the purpose of discussing the potential of rural work in/in, as a social practice for the pedagogical practice of future teachers of the EJA of the rural education. The information comes from the 52 course's final works throughout the years 2019 and 2020. We can observe a large number of social practices emerging from the contexts of the undergraduates, predominantly from the countryside, with an emphasis on the cultivation and/or production of cassava derivatives. We also noticed the existence of mathematical and scientific knowledge in these practices, which enabled the undergraduates to propose classes for EJA contexts, using the potential of the theme for a dialogue between the activity performed by EJA workers and school knowledge. Rurak Work in/the is assumed by these graduates as places of production of knowledge, a social practice to which their way of living and surviving are aspects closely linked to an emancipatory project.Keywords: Work as a social practice; Teacher training for EJA; Rural education.Del Trabajo a EJA: prácticas sociales y formación de profesores em/de/para el campoRESUMENLa actuación en la Educación de Jóvenes y adultos en el campo presupone considerar a los estudiantes que llegan a EJA como trabajadores que luchan por una vida digna y llevan innumerables experiencias productoras de conocimiento en cada práctica social vivida.

In the K-12 Curriculum, the Senior High School Curricula tend to neglect purely grammar disciplines as it focuses on English literature. The study intended to identify the grammatical competence of the Grade 11 learners of Ubay National Science High School for the academic year 2018-2019. The study was quantitative research using a purposive random sampling design employing the modified questionnaire based on the English for Linguistics Project (Malicsi, 2017). The tool was pre-tested and underwent item analysis for the reliability and validity of the test questions. The subjects were 139 Grade 11 learners enrolled from the four strands offered by the school. The data were collected, tallied, and treated. Results revealed that morphology was the area where the learners are highly competent, and they are moderately competent in both semantics and syntax. Generally, the grammatical competence among Grade 11 learners is “moderately competent.” There is a significant degree of variance in the three areas of grammar. The variance lies in the area of morphology containing the word inflections and compounding in which learners got most of the high scores.

ResumoEste trabalho tem como pressuposto apresentar uma investigação voltada para a compreensão do status da disciplina Educação Física no âmbito da escola básica brasileira, no que tange à relação filosófica de sua proposta juntos aos documentos educacionais e a sua aplicação no contexto escolar, tendo como foco a relação epistemológica entre corporeidade física, dimensão intelectual e suas dicotomias. O itinerário da pesquisa contemplou uma revisão bibliográfica entre diversos autores que tratam do tema, bem como uma investigação de campo junto a doze gestores educacionais, realizada nas escolas básicas do município de Pará de Minas, MG, no período compreendido entre maio e junho de 2020. Efetuada a tabulação e análise dos dados, foi possível chegar a algumas constatações que apontam para uma desvalorização velada da disciplina Educação Física na percepção e atuação dos gestores entrevistados, tais fatos podem serem observados, quando 25% dos entrevistados entendem que a Educação Física tem um grau de importância menor na formação do aluno do que outras disciplinas do currículo escolar e, ainda, a falta de conhecimento de 33% dos gestores frente ao planejamento, assim como 8% não sabem da existência de avaliações do conteúdo. Tais análises apontaram para uma Educação Física ainda submissa a outras disciplinas escolares, apesar da Educação Física estar inserida de forma obrigatória como componente curricular.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to present an investigation aimed at understanding the Physical Education subject status e within the scope of the Brazilian elementary school regarding the philosophical relationship of its proposal together with the educational documents and its application in the school context, focusing on the epistemological relationship among physical corporeality, intellectual dimension and its dichotomies. The research itinerary included a bibliographic review among several authors dealing with the theme, as well as a field investigation with twelve educational managers, carried out in the elementary schools of the city of Pará de Minas, MG, between May and June 2020 Once the data were tabulated and analyzed, some conclusions were reached that point to a veiled devaluation of the Physical Education subject in the perception and performance of the interviewed managers, such facts can be observed, when 25% of the interviewees understand that Physical Education has a lesser degree of importance in the student’s education than other subjects in the school curriculum, and yet, the lack of knowledge of 33% of managers regarding planning, as well as 8% of them are unaware of the existence of content evaluations. Such analyzes pointed to a Physical Education still subject to other school subjects, although Physical Education is mandatorily inserted as a curricular component. Keywords: Teaching.

Globalization is an explicit threat to intangible cultural heritage. Preservation of the traditional dance and music of a variety of cultures and ethnic groups is a subject of many studies and projects of scholars in different disciplines. In the current project, we focus on the same theme by applying a combination of new technology and creative ideas. Our compound method applies choreographic computer game technologies to the elements of intangible cultural heritage, informed by a careful consideration of intrinsic elements of the culture. Using a tool that transforms body movement to musical sound, spatial dance data can create melodic and rhythmic patterns based on structural elements of Azeri music such as 6/8 meter and two-core phrases. The data was sonified by a combination of rotation data across 360 degrees with pitches and cutoff sounds. Each pitch was assigned a region of a circular protractor according to the range and density of the data captured, and the rotation degree of three body parts was mapped into the nearest pitch. The patterns are generated in real time, and the composed music is audible when the game is run. They have a motivic structure and a set of rules that are applied to compose varied but cohesive music, informed by traditional musical stylistic features. The gamified prototype assists the heritage transmission to descendants via a 3D game environment that challenges the players for good performance, appraises their results, and motivates them in learning a folk dance. It also facilitates the players’ familiarization with the cultural forms by generating patterns in rhythmic coordination with the performance. This approach can be applicable to other cultures using their dance data and cultural elements. It also has the potential to be adapted for various apparatuses for game-based learning and knowledge transmission regarding intangible cultural heritage.

Scientifically based ideas about the forms and types of speech disorders are considered a prerequisite for developing effective methods of eliminating these disorders. Researchers have tried to classify speech disorders, which have many types, throughout the historical period of the development of the science of speech therapy. But at the present time, the problem of classification is one of the most important problems not only of speech therapy, but also of other scientific disciplines that study speech disorders. Such disciplines can include the following: neurophysiology, medicine, pathopsychology and neuropsychology, branches of special psychology and pedagogy: oligophrenopedagogy, deaf pedagogy, typhlopedagogy.

Language is a part of the spiritual culture of nation. Dichotomy language - thinking as a component of the basic triad of ethnolinguistics language - thinking - culture among the problems that are within this discipline, brings to the fore the problem of nomination, which requires interdisciplinary efforts (psychology and linguistics) and interlevel exploration (vocabulary, word formation, phonetics). The relevance of scientific work is due to the need for philosophical and linguistic understanding of the problem of nomination.
The purpose of the article is to consider the problem of nomination and related issues in terms of psychology, linguistics, such as: significant, denotative and connotative meaning of the word; to compare the terms feature, sema, internal form of the word.
Research methods. In the article as the main general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis are used, as well as linguistic – descriptive, structural and comparative and historical methods. Conclusions. Thus, the problem of the name, realizing the dichotomy of language – thinking, becomes one of the main problems of the culturological scientific paradigm. Scientific synonymy as one of the features of the modern metalanguage of science in the problem of the name distinguishes a number of related terms – feature, sema, internal form of the word. The concepts of semiotics are related to the problem of the name – significant, denotative and connotative meaning of the word, which reproduces the different degrees of connection of the word with reality. Connotative meaning makes it possible to highlight specific features of the Ukrainian language.

Full textAbstract:
World-wide, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been considered one of the eco-friendly and powerful tools to manage crop pests. In Nepal, it has been adopted for more than two decades with its highest success in various crops. As dissemination and up-scaling tools to this approach, Farmers Field School (FFS) is being launched in numerous farming communities. The basic notion of initiation of this program was to mitigate and combat the negative consequence created by chemical pesticides while controlling insect pests in crops. In Nepal, it started in 1997 through a FAO Technical Cooperation Project (TCP). This article summarizes IPM activities ever since TCP to Second Phase of IPM Program (2008-2013) launched by the Government of Nepal with the support of Norwegian government. Until, 2012/013, altogether 3772 FFSs were conducted by PPD and FAO initiatives and 99751 farmers graduated in IPM Program, while 1175 farmers trained as IPM FFS Facilitators. More than 5000 farmers groups benefited from yearlong IPM FFS. Medium level agricultural technicians, government Officers from different disciplines and 25 participants from Council for Vocational Education and Training Centre (CTEVT) were trained as IPM Master Facilitators. IPM policy and participatory system of IPM product certification system were drafted however; they could not be finalized during the project period. Support for Master Degree studies and Bachelor degree mini-thesis were provided to students of various Agriculture Education Institution. Curricula developed for yearlong IPM FFS in different crops were adopted by CTEVT and other Institute in their academic programs. In the the later phase of project, emphasis was towards the institutionalization of the outcomes into regular program of the Government with a modified approach of bio pesticide production, plant clinics and networking. The program ignited and stressed largely on the socio-technical empowerment to the farmers and technicians. Initiation on the marketing of IPM products was also one of the outputs. This should be linked with increasing use of bio pesticides to the healthy food production so that environmentally damaging chemical pesticides may be reduced from the country.

Full textAbstract:
A primary aim of this paper is to establish some workable meanings of key terms of institutional theory including institution, convention and organization, by drawing on insights from several academic disciplines. Institutions are defined broadly as systems of established and prevalent social rules that structure social interactions. This, in turn, prompts some examination of the concept of a rule, and why rules are followed. The author discusses some general issues concerning how institutions function and how they interact with individual agents, their habits, and their beliefs. The paper also addresses the controversial distinction between institutions and organizations. D. North’s influential formulations of these terms are criticized for being incomplete and misleading. The author examines this distinction and what may be meant by the term formal when applied to institutions or rules. Here an organization is treated as a type of institution involving membership and sovereignty. Further types of institution are also considered, including the difference between self-organizing and other institutions. The article identifies an excessive bias in the discussion of institutions toward those of the self-organizing type, showing theoretically that these are a special case. The author argues that institutions also differ with regard to their degree of sensitivity to changes in the personalities of the agents involved.

Abstract. Surface water floods (SWFs) have received increasing attention in the recent years. Nevertheless, we still know relatively little about where, when and why such floods occur and cause damage, largely due to a lack of data but to some degree also because of terminological ambiguities. Therefore, in a preparatory step, we summarize related terms and identify the need for unequivocal terminology across disciplines and international boundaries in order to bring the science together. Thereafter, we introduce a large (n = 63 117), long (10–33 years) and representative (48 % of all Swiss buildings covered) data set of spatially explicit Swiss insurance flood claims. Based on registered flood damage to buildings, the main aims of this study are twofold: First, we introduce a method to differentiate damage caused by SWFs and fluvial floods based on the geographical location of each damaged object in relation to flood hazard maps and the hydrological network. Second, we analyze the data with respect to their spatial and temporal distributions aimed at quantitatively answering the fundamental questions of how relevant SWF damage really is, as well as where and when it occurs in space and time. This study reveals that SWFs are responsible for at least 45 % of the flood damage to buildings and 23 % of the associated direct tangible losses, whereas lower losses per claim are responsible for the lower loss share. The Swiss lowlands are affected more heavily by SWFs than the alpine regions. At the same time, the results show that the damage claims and associated losses are not evenly distributed within each region either. Damage caused by SWFs occurs by far most frequently in summer in almost all regions. The normalized SWF damage of all regions shows no significant upward trend between 1993 and 2013. We conclude that SWFs are in fact a highly relevant process in Switzerland that should receive similar attention like fluvial flood hazards. Moreover, as SWF damage almost always coincides with fluvial flood damage, we suggest considering SWFs, like fluvial floods, as integrated processes of our catchments.

Abstract. Despite the increasing role of models in hydrological research and decision-making processes, only few accounts of the nature and function of models exist in hydrology. Earlier considerations have traditionally been conducted while making a clear distinction between physically-based and conceptual models. A new philosophical account, primarily based on the fields of physics and economics, transcends classes of models and scientific disciplines by considering models as "mediators" between theory and observations. The core of this approach lies in identifying models as (1) being only partially dependent on theory and observations, (2) integrating non-deductive elements in their construction, and (3) carrying the role of instruments of scientific enquiry about both theory and the world. The applicability of this approach to hydrology is evaluated in the present article. Three widely used hydrological models, each showing a different degree of apparent physicality, are confronted to the main characteristics of the "mediating models" concept. We argue that irrespective of their kind, hydrological models depend on both theory and observations, rather than merely on one of these two domains. Their construction is additionally involving a large number of miscellaneous, external ingredients, such as past experiences, model objectives, knowledge and preferences of the modeller, as well as hardware and software resources. We show that hydrological models convey the role of instruments in scientific practice by mediating between theory and the world. It results from these considerations that the traditional distinction between physically-based and conceptual models is necessarily too simplistic and refers at best to the stage at which theory and observations are steering model construction. The large variety of ingredients involved in model construction would deserve closer attention, for being rarely explicitly presented in peer-reviewed literature. We believe that devoting more importance to identifying and communicating on the many factors involved in model development might increase transparency of model building.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the social and legal support of the military personnel of the National Guard of Ukraine. During which it was found out that, according to the norms of the current legislation, social and legal support is an activity to create the necessary social and legal conditions for observing constitutional rights and freedoms, meeting the social needs and interests of military personnel in the course of preparing and performing combat missions; compliance with international humanitarian law; maintaining high discipline, organization and order. Based on this, the author's vision of the factors, influencing the formation of the social and legal consciousness of military personnel during military service and performing tasks for their intended purpose, is formulated, and three levels of their implementation are defined: micro-level, medium level and macro-level. The micro level includes: basic knowledge (obtained at school, higher educational institutions, higher military educational institutions); safety conditions in the performance of service and combat missions (norms of the current legislation); socio-cultural development (the degree of development of a serviceman in all spheres of human activity under the influence of changes in the dominant system of values). Medium level – self-realization (realization of the potential of a serviceman through career achievements); qualification of the military team/chief (formed by the personal attitude of the team/chief to the legal norms of the current legislation and implemented by observing them). Macro level – the mentality of society (way of thinking, general spiritual mood of society); state policy of Ukraine (the reaction of the state to specific problems of society (or groups in this society) is a fundamental guide to action for public authorities in accordance with laws and social customs). Based on the results of the study, the author's position on the very legal-ideological model of the formation of the social and legal consciousness of military personnel as a component of social and legal support for the activities of the personnel of the National Guard of Ukraine and its levels is provided. In order to increase the effectiveness of the functioning of the legal-ideological model for the formation of the social and legal consciousness of NGU military personnel, it is advisable: within the macro-level – the state leadership adhere to the implementation of social guarantees for military personnel and strengthen the propaganda of the authority of the "man in uniform" through the media; within the framework of the middle level – the local leadership independently make decisions on improving the quality potential of personnel, based on the specifics of the assigned tasks; within the framework of the micro level – during individual training, constantly inform the personnel about the latest changes in the current legislation and instill legal consciousness for the actions taken. Attention is focused on the problematic issues that arise at the present stage of development of the state

Problem and goal. Development of linguistic diversity, creative ideas in foreign language communication are key areas of international activity supported at the level of the United Nations. An important condition for effectiveness of any dialogue is verbal creativity. Preparation of the individual for professional creative thinking, for overcoming verbal stereotypes takes place in professionally-oriented communication. The authors suggest using interactive resources of flash cards in teaching to develop students’ verbal creativity. Metodology. Teaching a foreign language using flash cards is based on the Leitner method. Flash cards as thematic cards depicting objects (concepts) are also used for development of speech (vocabulary, morphology, word formation, syntax, pronunciation), and psychological processes leading to new results (fluency, originality, flexibility). The testing developed by the authors is carried out, it includes the parts “Vocabulary,” “Morphology,” “Word formation,” “Syntax,” “Pronunciation,” “Torrance figure test.” An experimental study was conducted at Vyatka State University during the study of the disciplines “Electronic resources in the professional activity,” “Foreign language.” 60 first-year students studying psychology (bachelor degree level) are involved. The Lexilize resource is used to create flash cards. Statistical processing of the results was performed using Pearson’s chi-square test. Results . Students study services for creating flash cards, use them to process new material, memorize and present concepts, word formation in a variety of contexts. Statistically significant differences in the qualitative changes that occurred in the system according to the levels of development of verbal creativity were revealed. Conclusion. The features of the presented version of using flash cards when teaching are described: combination with other means (mobile applications, simulators, infographics) and traditional forms of information transfer; interdisciplinary connections. Rules are formulated, implementation of which ensures effectiveness of using flash cards for development of verbal creativity.

Pierwsze dwudziestolecie XXI w., a zwłaszcza jego druga dekada, to okres dynamicznego przyrostu liczby geografów transportu posiadających stopień doktora. Znacznie gorzej wyglądała sytuacja z samodzielnymi pracownikami naukowymi. W kontekście tej grupy nie było widać tak silnej dynamiki rozwoju nowych kadr, jak w przypadku zakończonych procedur doktoryzacji. Spośród osób awansowanych w badanym okresie na doktorów habilitowanych obecnie tylko jedna pracuje na stanowisku profesora nadzwyczajnego, jedna opuściła polską naukę, a pozostali sukcesywnie uzyskiwali tytuły profesorskie. Widoczna była także silna polaryzacja przestrzenna miejsc, gdzie prowadzono procedury awansowe. Doktoryzowaniem zajmowało się 11 instytucji, jednak blisko 4/5 doktoratów obroniono przed radami naukowymi sześciu z nich. Jednocześnie prawie 1/3 promocji doktorskich miała miejsce w Instytucie Geografii i Gospodarki Przestrzennej Wydziału Biologii i Nauk o Ziemi UJ oraz w Instytucie Geografii i Zagospodarowania Przestrzennego PAN. W tej ostatniej jednostce odbyły się wszystkie procedury habilitacyjne z zakresu geografii transportu. W artykule zwraca się uwagę, że obecna struktura wiekowa badaczy omawianej subdyscypliny jest dość korzystna, niepokoi natomiast jej wymiar pod względem stopni i tytułów naukowych. Małoliczna jest zwłaszcza grupa doktorów habilitowanych, co znacznie zniekształca kształt piramidy ją odzwierciadlającej. W przyszłości może to zaowocować problemami następstwa pokoleń. Abstract: The first twenty years of the 21st century, especially its second decade, was a period of dynamic growth in the number of transport geographers PhD promotions. The situation with independent academics (in Polish scientific system habilitated doctors and professors) was much worse. There was no such strong dynamics of the development of new staff as in the case of completed PhD procedures. Only one of habilitated doctors promoted in the analysed period is currently working as an associate professor, next one has quit Polish science, but the others have successively obtained professorships. A strong spatial polarization of the places where promotion procedures were carried out was also visible. The PhD processes were carried out by 11 institutions, but nearly 4/5 of them took place before the scientific councils of six of them. At the same time, almost 1/3 of the promotion took place at the Institute of Geography and Spatial Management of the Faculty of Biology and Earth Sciences of the Jagiellonian University and the Institute of Geography and Spatial Organisation of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IGSO PAS). Additionally all habilitation procedures in the field of transport geography were completed in IGSO PAS I. The article points out that the current age structure of researchers of the sub-discipline is quite favourable, while its distortion in terms of research degrees and titles is worrying, where the group of habilitated doctors is disturbingly small, which means that a significant distortion of the pyramid reflecting it is visible. In the future, this may result in problems of the succession of generations.

В университете по селекционному профилю одновременно обучаются 160–200 студентов бакалавриата по направлению «Селекция, генетика и биотехнология садовых культур», «Генетика и селекция сельскохозяйственных культур», 40–60 студентов магистратуры по программам «Технологии ускоренной селекции растений» и «Селекция и генетика растений» в рамках двух направлений «Садоводство» и «Агрономия». Четырехлетняя образовательная программа бакалавриата представлена общеобразовательными дисциплинами, читаемыми на 1–2 курсах, с 3 курса начинается блок специальных дисциплин, формирующих профессиональные компетенции селекционеров. Общий объем профильных дисциплин и практик (учебной и производственной) в составе образовательной программы бакалавриата (без учета смежных агрономических дисциплин) составляет 70 зачетных единиц, или 30% от всего объема образовательной программы. Теоретические знания и практические навыки, приобретаемые студентами бакалавриата, позволяют выпускникам уверенно представлять себя на рынке труда или продолжить углубленное обучение в магистратуре. Двухлетние магистерские программы включают преимущественно дисциплины, формирующие профессиональные компетенции выпускника, а научно-исследовательская работа в рамках производственной практики, занимающей 40 зач.ед., или 1/3 от общей трудоемкости образовательной программы магистратуры, позволяет магистрантам развивать свои профессиональные навыки в любой из интересующих его областей науки и практики, к примеру, в области молекулярной селекции, культуры клеток и тканей, генетической инженерии или традиционной селекции. В университете реализуется цикл дополнительных образовательных программ для повышения квалификации специалистов разного уровня в области селекции и семеноводства. Реализуют образовательные программы профессионалы-практики на развитой материально-технической базе университета, оснащенной современным оборудованием, и на базе ведущих партнерских Федеральных исследовательских центров. Educational programs in breeding, seed production and biotechnology in the FSBEI of Higher Education Russian Timiryazev State Agrarian University includes basic training of bachelor's graduates for professional activities in public and private breeding organizations, as well as for in-depth training in master's and postgraduate studies in the «Breeding, seed production and biotechnology». At the university, 160–200 undergraduate students are studying at the specialization of «Breeding, genetics and biotechnology of horticultural crops», «Genetics and breeding of agricultural crops», 40–60 master's students in the programs «Technologies of accelerated plant breeding» and «Plants Breeding and genetics' within the framework of two directions «Horticulture» and «Agronomy». The four-year educational program of the bachelor's degree is represented by general educational disciplines taught in the 1st–2nd year, the block of special disciplines that form the professional competencies of breeders begins from the 3rd year. The total volume of specialized disciplines and practices (educational and industrial) as part of the undergraduate educational program, excluding related agronomic disciplines, is 70 credits or 30% of the entire volume of the educational program. The theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired by undergraduate students allow graduates to confidently represent themselves in the labor market or continue in-depth studies in the master's program. Two-year master's programs include mainly disciplines that form the professional competencies of the graduate, and research work within the framework of industrial practice, which occupies 40 credits or 1/3 of the total labor intensity of the educational program of the master's program, allows master students to develop their professional skills in any of the areas of science and practice that are of interest to them, for example, in the field of molecular breeding, cell and tissue culture, genetic engineering or traditional breeding and seed technologies. The university is implementing a cycle of additional educational programs to improve the skills of specialists of various levels in the field of breeding and seed production. The implementation of educational programs is carried out by professional practitioners using equipped with modern equipment facilities of University and Federal Research Centers.

ResumoNas últimas décadas foram propostas algumas iniciativas de reformulação dos programas de formação de professores de Ciências. Dentre elas, destacamos a implantação das Licenciaturas em Ciências da Natureza. Esses cursos têm como finalidade principal formar professores aptos a ensinar Ciências nos anos finais do ensino fundamental, sendo que alguns também ofertam habilitações para os campos disciplinares das Ciências da Natureza (Química, Física e Biologia). Em vista disso, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo conhecer o histórico, o perfil esperado do egresso e o modo de organização curricular de duas licenciaturas em Ciências da Natureza, com habilitação em Biologia, ofertadas pelo Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso (IFMT). Quanto à metodologia, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa, mediante um estudo exploratório e descritivo com base na análise documental dos projetos pedagógicos dos cursos supracitados. Por meio estudo realizado, foi possível perceber que essas licenciaturas almejam formar professores habilitados a lecionar os componentes curriculares de Ciências (ensino fundamental) e Biologia (ensino médio). Quanto aos objetivos de formação, depreende-se que eles se comprometem em ofertar uma formação docente que contribua com a ressignificação das práticas pedagógicas no ensino de Ciências da Natureza. No que tange à organização curricular, as licenciaturas se organizam em duas etapas: na primeira metade do curso, são ofertadas disciplinas voltadas à formação do professor de Ciências e, na segunda metade, disciplinas voltadas à formação de professores de Biologia. Todavia, entendemos que essa divisão do currículo possa se tornar um empecilho à oferta de uma formação interdisciplinar. Palavras-chave: Formação Docente. Professores de Biologia.

Among them, we highlight the implementation of Degrees in Nature Sciences. The main purpose of these courses is to train teachers able to teach Science in the final years of elementary school, and some also offer qualifications for the disciplinary fields of Natural Sciences (Chemistry, Physics and Biology). In view of this, the present work aims to know the history, the expected profile of the graduate and the way of curricular organization of two degrees in Natural Sciences, with specialization in Biology, offered by the Federal Institute of Mato Grosso (IFMT). As for the methodology, a qualitative approach was used, through an exploratory and descriptive study based on documental analysis of the pedagogical projects of the aforementioned courses. Through a study carried out, it was possible to see that these degrees aim to train teachers qualified to teach the curricular components of Science (primary education) and Biology (high school). As for the training objectives, it appears that they are committed to offering teacher training that contributes to the redefinition of pedagogical practices in the teaching of Natural Sciences. Regarding the curricular organization, the degrees are organized in two stages: in the first half of the course, subjects aimed at the formation of Science teachers are offered and, in the second half, subjects aimed at the formation of Biology teachers. However, we understand that this division of the curriculum can become an obstacle to the offer of an interdisciplinary training. Keywords: Teacher Education. Biology Teachers.
