Conectividade com a natureza, mitigação e adaptação à mudança climática
Authors: Pato Claudia
Published: December 2020

As mudanças climáticas globais apresentam-se como o maior desafio do século para a humanidade. Dado o consenso do impacto humano sobre os problemas ambientais é urgente repensar o nosso estilo de vida e as nossas relações com o sistema de vida planetário. Estudos sobre a dimensão humana das mudanças climáticas têm investigado as motivações das pessoas para preservar o ambiente natural e o quanto se consideram parte da natureza. Salientam que a conexão com a natureza desempenha um papel importante na mitigação e adaptação às alterações climáticas. Considerando a centralidade da dimensão cognitiva na construção da identidade e a relevância da conectividade com a natureza para a promoção do bem-estar psicológico, o equilíbrio das relações entre os seres humanos, o ambiente natural e as diferentes formas de vida, torna-se essencial que a educação atue nesta perspectiva, articulada com a psicologia, especialmente com crianças e adolescentes, para formar uma geração sustentável.

Discovering America: Unpacking Popular Social Q&A for Prospective Chinese International Students
Authors: Teo Hon Jie
Published: December 2020

The global pandemic and recent shift to online learning has heightened the need to better understand how to support international students, especially across online and virtual platforms. However, a review of literature reveals a paucity of studies dedicated to international student use of internet-based platforms and services for seeking information and sharing experiences. One avenue for further research is Social Question & Answer Communities (SQACs), which are vast conduits of shared experiences and knowledge connecting hundreds of thousands of pre-application and pre-arrival students. In this study, content analysis was utilized to qualitatively observe the contents of the “Overseas Studies in The United States” section of Zhihu, and quantitatively count their features and characteristics. The study found that 58% of the questions and answers were devoted to Academic issues such as testing, admissions, learning and research, with another 13.0% on Crime, Law and Safety, and the remaining 29% of the questions were associated to a diverse array of topics associated with living and working in American society. The most popular answers were made up of mainly 4 main types: Sharing One’s Experience (32.0%), Advice (26.0%), Opinion (22.0%) and Critique (15.0%). Content analysis of three main answer features, namely the use of Imagery, Digital Resources, and Social feature, indicated that the Advice and Critique answer types contain the richest variety of features and that question context, textual styles and use of digital resources are important factors for understanding the answer popularity in SQACs.
Education History of Meskhetian (Ahiskaian) Turks: Tsarist Russia Period
Authors: MEMMEDLI Gülnara GOCA
Published: December 2020

When we talk about Meskhetian/Ahiskaian Turks, it is perceived that the Turkish community with a population of approximately 200 thousand existed in the Meskhetian/Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia, who was exiled from their ancestral lands to the Central Asian countries in 1944 by the Soviet government. Due to its settled position, Ahiskaian Turkishness has been a gateway between Anatolia and the Caucasus, in other words, between the regions and civilizations, as well as the unifying bridge of Anatolian and Azerbaijani Turks. After the exile, this position expanded further, and it also assumed the role of the cultural carrier of Central Asia, Anatolia, and Azerbaijan. Today about 150 thousand Meskhetian Turks live in Kazakhstan, 100 thousand in Turkey, 100 thousand in Azerbaijan, 100 thousand in the Russian Federation, 50 thousand in Kyrgyzstan, 15 thousand in Uzbekistan, 10 thousand in the United States, 10 thousand live in Ukraine and 1,500 in Georgia. As they live in different countries, Meskhetian Turks are defined as a trans-national community. It is known that Meskhetian Turks have a rich cultural heritage. The modern type of schooling process of this community has an important historical background. In the presented article, the schools that operated before the Turks' 1944 evacuation from the historical Meskhet-Javakheti region in south-west Georgia are investigated. At the end of the 19th century, the new type of credit schools gave education in the Turkish language and opened in the villages of the Turks inhabited by the Turks in the Akhaltsikhe District in the province of Tiflis in Tsarist Russia, is being studied. In this context, the activity history of the primary schools established in the villages of Atsquri and Okam in 1881, Khertvisi in 1885, Adigeni in 1895, Oshora, Tsnisi, and Varkhani in 1897, the content of education in these schools, the contributions of reformist teachers who lit the light of enlightenment in the Akhaltsikhe cultural region, information specific to students is presented. The study's subjective sources and materials are mainly related materials in the Central Historical Archives of the National Archive of Georgia in Tbilisi.
The Association Between Parent Participation in School Management and Student Achievement in Eight Countries and Economies
Authors: Sakamoto Jutaro
Published: December 2020

Parent participation in school management has been promoted as a strategy for holding schools accountable for education quality and outcomes. However, the evidence has proven inconclusive and limited in explaining mechanisms to affect student achievement. By using public school student data derived from the Programme for International Student Assessment 2015, this study examines how 1) participation of a student’s own parents in school management, which would affect their learning support at home and 2) participation of a group of parents, which would influence school decisions and thus affect the learning environment at school, are associated with student achievement in Croatia, Georgia, Portugal, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Korea, Hong Kong, and Macao. I found no evidence that parent participation in school management contributed to improving student achievement. Instead, depending on the country, a negative association is derived from either individual-level or school-level parent participation. The associations are not moderated by parents’ socioeconomic status but by school’s openness to parental engagement in some of the countries, indicating that what matters might not be participation per se but the degree of engagement. The findings underscore the importance of understanding mechanisms and conditions in which parent participation affects student learning in context to design effective participatory school governance.

Authors: Dezhbankhan Fariba , Baranovich Diana Lea , Abedalaziz Nabeel , Dezhbankhan Soraya
Published: December 2020

Metacognition is one of the vital competencies to seize the opportunities and overcome the challenges of twenty-first century; however, there is no precise definition of metacognition and it is a fuzzy concept. While classic, descriptive and procedural models try to describe the nature and ingredients of metacognition, theoretical clarity in terms of better definition and representation of its components is needed. This study by adopting theoretical models of metacognition through the Plan-Do-Check-Act principles (as a management instrument) proposes a conceptual framework, “Metacognition Management System (MMS)” that consolidates components, functions, and processes of metacognition in a single window. Then, impacts of a multidimensional intervention designed based on the MMS concept (MMS Training Course) provided in 12 hours, on 31 students’ metacognitive competencies was investigated using quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test design. The large effect size (Partial η2 = .939, 95% confidence interval) implied that MMS training course has a statistically significant impact on metacognitive competencies. This study has implications for further theoretical and experimental researches on the configuration and application of the MMS as well as designing multidimensional metacognitive intervention.
Geography Teachers’ Opinions Regarding the Teaching Field Knowledge Test in the Public Personnel Selection Exam
Authors: Türker Abdullah
Published: December 2020

The number of teacher candidates is increasing as a result of the excessive quotas given to departments that train teacher candidates and the right to teach different branches with pedagogical formation certificates. Therefore it becomes compulsory to hold selection exams in teacher appointments. The exams carried out during this selection process undergo changes over time both in number and content. While exams containing questions of general knowledge, general ability, and educational sciences were used in teacher appointments in Turkey since 2002, the field knowledge test has also been applied since 2013. Geography is also one of the branches in which the field knowledge exam is applied. This study aims to evaluate the field knowledge exam according to the views of geography teachers. The study conducted in a phenomenology pattern, one of the qualitative research methods, was carried out with 25 geography teachers determined by criterion sampling methods. The data collected through semi-structured interviews were analyzed by descriptive analysis method. Direct quotations are included to increase the reliability of the research. In line with the opinions of the geography teachers, it was determined that as it increases teacher competence, taking the field knowledge exam is important and necessary. The majority opinion is that increasing the number of questions in the field knowledge exam in 2019 increased the content validity of the exam. As it caused changes in the questions, the field knowledge exam duration was considered to be excessive by some participants. According to the views of the geography teachers, undergraduate education did not coincide with the scope of the field knowledge test. It was determined that most of the candidates went to the course in the exam preparation process in order to fill the deficiencies. As a result of the research, it is recommended that the number of questions in the field knowledge test, the content validity should increase further, and the effect of the field knowledge test on the scoring basis for appointment should be further increased.

Participants also stated the features of causing noise, making classroom management more difficult, sharing responsibility and rewards unfairly, and difficulty of implementing the method in crowded classes as disadvantages of the method.
Examining the Predictive Levels of Academic Self-Efficacy and Some Demographic Characteristics of Professional Anxiety of Physical Education and Sports Teacher Candidates
Authors: Arıkan Gökhan
Published: December 2020

This study aims to determine the levels of teacher and trainer candidates in the university education process, in line with the findings obtained in the dimensions of professional anxiety and self-efficacy and their sub-dimensions as a result of examining the professional anxiety and self-efficacy perceptions of teacher and trainer candidates. In this study in the screening model, the research group consisted of 311 trainer and physical education and sports teacher candidates, 135 women and 176 men, who studied at Harran University School of Physical Education and Sports in the fall semester 2017-2018. In line with the purpose of the study, the tests correlated to the teacher candidates’ academic self-efficacy, the level of professional anxiety, some demographic characteristics of the teacher candidates, professional concerns, and academic self-efficacy were applied. The tools used for these tests are the “Teacher Candidate Anxiety Scale” adapted from Borich (1996) and developed by Saban, Korkmaz, and Akbaş (2004) and the “Academic self-efficacy scale” developed by Jerusalem and Schwarzer (1981). The adaptation, reliability, and validity study of the scale into Turkish was also applied by Yılmaz et al. (2007). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were performed on the data file formed by transferring the data collected within the scope of the study to the SPSS 22.0 program. Simultaneously, simple linear regression analyzes were conducted in which academic self-efficacy was accepted as the independent variable, and occupational anxiety was considered the dependent variable. In the study, the average score of teacher candidates’ academic self-efficacy was determined as 21.44 high. Together, these variables explain 4% of the change in student-centered anxiety. Academic self-efficacy reveals 9% of the self-centered anxiety dimension, 6% of the task-centered anxiety dimension, and 5% of the student-centered anxiety dimension. It can be said that self-efficacy perceptions are predictors of professional anxiety levels for teacher candidates. It is believed that determining the reason for teacher candidates’ low self-efficacy and anxiety scores in programs that train them in the education process and studies to be conducted on these reasons will positively affect the academic self-efficacy and professional anxiety levels of Physical Education and Sports Teacher candidates.
Air Passengers’ Continued Use Intention of the Airport E-Gate System: A Perspective with Perceived Beneﬁts
Authors: Chen Fang Yuan , Liu Chang Yu
Published: December 2020

With the rapid development of air transportation in recent years, the number of national entry and exit passengers has hit record highs. Facing the increasingly busy airport, an automated border control system (E-gate) has been developed to provide faster and more convenient services. This study adopts the perspective of perceived benefits to explore the willingness of passengers to continuously use the E-Gate. In this study, a total of 539 valid questionnaires are collected at the Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan. The SPSS 24 and AMOS 22 software are used for statistical analysis, and the hypotheses are verified by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and convenience have positive and significant effects on air passengers’ continued use intention of E-gate, with convenience having the greatest impact, followed by perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The findings of this research can not only assist government agencies and airport operators in the development of better user-accepted immigration clearance systems, but can also provide insight into how to promote the new technology to potential users.
Impact of Garlic-infused Salt Supplement on Fly Abundance, Salt Intake, and Defensive Behaviors in Grazing Beef Cows
Authors: Durunna Obioha , Lardner Herbert
Published: December 2020

This study evaluated the efficacy of free-choice feeding of garlic-infused salt as an alternative pest-fly control strategy in grazing beef cows. This on-farm study is relevant because pest-fly abundance during the summer can impact performance and may cause welfare concerns on beef cattle operations. Over two consecutive summers, three groups of grazing cows received either a trace-mineral salt (TMS) supplement or a TMS infused with garlic powder (GPTMS). The study assessed the treatment effects on fly abundance, defensive behavior, and salt consumption for each group. All cows grazed similar forage species. Fly abundance and defensive behaviors were evaluated in each group using digital imagery. The results showed no difference (P = 0.34) in monthly salt consumption among groups. There were differences (P < 0.0004) in fly abundance among groups where one GPTMS group had at least 47% fewer flies and 41% fewer defensive behaviors than the TMS groups. On the other hand, another group that received GPTMS in the second year indicated a trend (P = 0.07) in fly abundance from its previous outcomes when the group received the TMS in the first year. These differing results for fly abundance and defensive behavior in the groups that received the GPTMS suggest that the efficacy of this feeding strategy in cattle may be affected by differences in genetic or environmental factors or both. We recommended that future studies consider genomic breed compositions before assigning subjects to different groups. Additional studies are required to investigate the variation in individual supplement intake between treatment groups and whether infusing mineral supplements with garlic powder is associated with similar outcomes as salt.
Study of electrochemical deposition of Ni-Mo thin films from alkaline electrolytes
Authors: Gurbanova Ulviyya Magsud , Babanly Dunya Mahammad , Huseynova Ruhangiz Gurmuz , Tagiyev Dilgam Babir
Published: December 2020

The process of co-deposition of Ni with Mo from alkaline electrolytes was studied by taking linear and cyclic polarization curves of Pt electrode at various concentrations of initial components and potential scan rates. Solutions of Na2MoO4∙2H2O and NiSO4∙7H2O were used as sources of ions of the main components in NH4OH electrolyte. It was found that co-deposition of nickel with molybdenum goes through the oxide formation stage, and a solid solution of these two metals is deposited on the cathode surface. The film obtained at constant current on Ni electrode under optimal conditions was found amorphous, but additional thermal treatment at 500 °C for one hour made it polycrystalline. This was confirmed by peaks in X-ray diffraction patterns, corresponding to NiMoO4, Ni, and MoO3. The proposed electrolyte and electrolysis conditions allow to obtain thin films with molybdenum content ranging from 17.1 to 50.9 at.%. The co-deposition of Ni with Mo is limited by diffusion of these ions to the cathode surface. The knowledge of the mechanism of co-deposition of Ni and Mo will make possible a selection of optimal conditions for deposition of alloys of the required composition with satisfactory electrocatalytic properties.

Published: December 2020

: Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide infection that can lead to serious problems in immune-compromised individuals and fetuses. A DNA vaccine strategy would be an ideal tool against Toxoplasma gondii. One of the necessary measures to provide an effective vaccine is the selection of proteins with high antigenicity. The SAG1-related sequence 3 (SRS3) protein is a major surface antigen in T. gondii that can be used as a vaccine candidate. In the present study, bioinformatics and computational methods were utilized to predict protein characteristics, as well as secondary and tertiary structures. The in silico approach is highly suited to analyze, design, and evaluate DNA vaccine strategies. Hence, in silico prediction was used to identify B and T cell epitopes and compare the antigenicity of SRS3 and other candidate genes of Toxoplasma previously applied in the production of vaccines. The results of the analysis theoretically showed that SRS3 has multiple epitopes with high antigenicity, proposing that SRS3 is a promising immunogenic candidate for the development of DNA vaccines against toxoplasmosis.

Published: December 2020

Background: HER2-positive breast cancers tend to be more aggressive and are associated with poorer outcomes than other types of breast cancer. Metformin, the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, has anticancer activity against various cancerous cells. Objectives: We assessed the cytotoxic effect of metformin in combination with Lapatinib on the SK-BR3 cells. Methods: Following culturing cells, IC50 of metformin and lapatinib were calculated using MTT assay after 48h of treatment with different concentrations of metformin and lapatinib alone and in combination. The level of pro-apoptotic protein Bax expression was measured by western blot analysis. Results: Metformin and lapatinib could significantly inhibit the cell viability of SKBR-3 in a dose-dependent manner, and the minimum cytotoxic effect of these drugs was observed after 48 h at 5 mM and 50 nM, respectively. Several combinations of metformin with lapatinib showed a synergistic efficacy on the cell viability inhibition, which could decrease the IC50 of lapatinib from 500 nM to at least 200 nM. The strongest synergistic cytotoxic effect on the cell viability was observed at 40 mM of metformin plus 400 nM of lapatinib. Furthermore, after 48h of co-treatment with metformin-lapatinib combination, the level of pro-apoptotic Bax expression was significantly increased at 10 mM of metformin plus 200 nM of lapatinib. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the metformin-lapatinib combination may be a valuable candidate for breast cancer patients with HER2 overexpression. However, further studies are needed to make a definitive conclusion.
Tjenere, pryglestokke og kropslige lidenskaber

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to Gen 1:26–28, the human being was given rule over the animals, even though this apparently conflicts with the lived reality on earth. To judge from sources from the Early Church, this apparent dichotomy posed a serious challenge to the claim of the goodness of God, which had to be defended accordingly. The present article investigates different Early Christian views on the relationship between animals and humans. Through a series of Danish translations of extracts from eastern patristic writings from around the 4th century, it is argued that despite a certain diversity of argument, two different ‘zoologies’, or views on animals and on the human rule over especially wild animals appear. These views seem to revolve around the two Christian centres of theology and biblical exegesis of the time – Alexandria and Antioch. Insights from the readings of the patristic literature are subsequently used as a hermeneutical key in order to understand encounters between animals and holy persons found in other parts of the Early Christian literature, namely the apocryphal Acts of the Apos-tles, martyr literature and ascetic literature. The article ends with a view to the Western church.

DANSK RESUME: Mennesket blev ifølge Gen 1,26–28 sat til at herske over dyrene – men stemmer dette overens med den erfarede virkelighed? At dømme ud fra oldkirkelige kilder udfordrede dette tilsyneladende modsætningsforhold den kristne forståelse af Guds godhed, som følgelig måtte forsvares. I denne artikel undersøges forskellige oldkirkelige forestillinger om forholdet mellem dyr og mennesker. Gennem en række oversættelser af uddrag fra skrifter skrevet af østlige kirkefædre omkring det 4. århundrede argumenteres der for, at der trods en vis diversitet i argumentationen grundlæggende viser sig to forskellige forestillinger om dyr, eller ‘zoologier’, og om menneskets herredømme over særligt vilde dyr. Disse forskelle synes at være mellem det alexandrinske teologisk-eksegetiske miljø og det antiokenske. Indsigter fra disse undersøgelser bruges desuden som hermeneutisk nøgle til forstå relationer mellem dyr og hellige personer i anden oldkirkelig litteratur såsom de apokryfe apostelakter, martyrlitteratur og asketisk litteratur. Slutteligt gives der et udblik til vestlige kirkefædre.

Coronakrisen har været definerende for stort set alle forhold i samfundslivet i 2020. Fremkomsten af det nye COVID-19-virus og bestræbelserne på at begrænse den medfølgende pandemi har sat dagsordenen for både økonomi, politik og civilsamfund. Selvom der i første omgang er tale om en sundhedskrise, har coronakrisen medført forandringer og påvirket den bredere samfundsmæssige udvikling i en næsten uhørt grad. Forskere og beslutningstagere har lige fra krisens start forsøgt at skabe et overblik over omfanget af disse påvirkninger af samfundslivet og prøvet at analysere og begrebsliggøre, hvordan de kan forstås og håndteres. Dette temanummer har til formål at præsentere en række af de aktuelle forskningsprojekter og analyser fra Danmark, som har coronakrisen som omdrejningspunkt.
Finanspolitikken i lyset af coronakrisen
Authors: Pedersen Lars Haagen , Kieler Mads
Published: December 2020

Coronakrisen har ført til en af de mest markante finanspolitiske indsatser i nyere tid. Artiklen belyser faserne i de anvendte finanspolitiske redskaber. Samlet set vurderes tiltagene inkl. hjælpepakker at være en ”god forretning” for dansk økonomi i den forstand, at understøttelsen af indkomsterne for nulevende generationer overstiger belastningen af fremtidige generationer. Samtidig har det økonomiske tilbageslag og hjælpepakker mv. ikke i nævneværdigt omfang påvirket råderummet frem mod 2025. Vurderingerne skal ses i lyset af, at der er tale om midlertidige tiltag i en ekstraordinær situation med ledige ressourcer, en rente tæt på nul, og hvor den offentlige gæld i udgangspunktet er lav

Published: December 2020

Beslutningen om at nedlukke samfundet og velfærdsstaten for at inddæmme COVID19-epidemien i foråret 2020 overlod for en stund mange velfærdsopgaver til det frivillige civilsamfund. Et centralt spørgsmål, der også angår den pågående diskussion i politik og forskning om frivillighedens rolle i velfærden, er nedlukningens ulighedsmæssige konsekvenser. I denne artikel analyserer vi uligheder i hvem, der giver og modtager frivillig hjælp, med udgangspunkt i køn og beskæftigelsesstatus. Resultaterne indikerer, at eksisterende uligheder blev reproduceret og i nogle tilfælde forstærket.

Levedygtige nutider
Authors: Danholt Peter
Published: December 2020

Denne artikel tager afsæt i et hverdagseksempel der viser, at sundhedsapps har utilsigtede konsekvenser. Eksemplet fungerer som en udfordring for hvad vi kan forestille os og håbe på i forhold til teknologi. Artiklens centrale undersøgelsesspørgsmål er: Hvordan kan vi med afsæt i en triviel indsigt om sundhedsapps udvikle en forståelsesramme for at forestille os sunde fremtider? Artiklens overordnede argument er at teknologi forandrer – ikke forbedrer eller forværrer - en given situation. Dette forhold stemmer overens med en amoderne forståelse som foreslået af den franske videnskabs- og teknologiantropolog Bruno Latour. En amoderne forståelse indebærer at en fremskridtstanke baseret på at teknologi anskues som instrument for menneskelig handlen, ikke lader sig opretholde. I stedet stilles vi i en anden situation, hvor vi er forbundne til og aktører i at producere komplekse og overraskende tilstande som overskrider vores beherskelse. Men denne tilstand åbner også op for mangfoldige forbindelser og mulige måder at (sam-)eksistere på, som synes mere adækvate og moderate og tilbyder levedygtige nutider. Artiklen er relevant for praktikere og forskere i sundhedssektoren, fordi den tilbyder en radikalt anderledes forståelse af sundhedsvæsnet og dets problematikker, end de gængse og derfor forhåbentligvis også kan inspirere til nye tilgange og initiativer, såvel i den enkelte konkrete praksis, som på et mere overordnet styringsmæssigt og politisk niveau. I den henseende er artiklen i sig selv et forsøg på at bidrage til sunde fremtider og levedygtige nutider i sundhedsvæsnet.

Legal science faces the urgent task of researching existing legal forms and models of international scientific and technical cooperation (ISTC) on the creation and use of global research infrastructure (GII) in the nuclear field, identifying their advantages and disadvantages, possibilities of application and adaptation to projects of the "megasience" class in Russia. The key factors for determining the legal aspects of the creation and use of GII are two factors: the organizational and legal formalization (the establishment of a separate independent entity or the use of existing "umbrella" legal structures) and what legal tools are used, what law is subordinate to the activity. В В В В В В В  The organizational and legal model of the ISTC, both using existing international intergovernmental organizations of the framework type or legal entities, and by establishing special entities, can be schematically represented in the form of a four-level system. The advantage of using umbrella-type models in the nuclear field is the readiness of most of its tools and mechanisms, which only require adaptation to specific projects, and the possibility of implementing a significant number of projects. If it is necessary to ensure a clear equity participation of partners, financial obligations and a management structure dependent on them, then the appropriate form is the creation of a special project-type entity. Based on the "legal environment", the use of MMPO implies certain immunities and privileges, exemptions from the jurisdiction of the host State, etc. It is also important in modern conditions that it is more difficult to subject MMPO to politically motivated unilateral restrictive measures ("sanctions"). But the use of the construction of a legal entity can provide greater efficiency, flexibility and managerial cheapness of the process, especially since exceptions from national law can also be provided for them.The most successful seems to be the development of a special organizational and legal form mentioned in the draft federal law "On Scientific, Scientific, technical and innovative activities in the Russian Federation" - an international research organization.

Authors: Naumov Alexander
Published: December 2020

This article reviews the role of Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935 in escalation of crisis trends of the Versailles system. Leaning on the British Russian archival documents, which recently became available for the researchers, the author analyzes the reasons and consequences of conclusion of this agreement between the key European democratic power and Nazi Reich. Emphasis is placed on analyzing the moods within the political elite of the United Kingdom. It is proven that the agreement became a significant milestone in escalation of crisis trends in the Versailles model of international relations. It played a substantial role in establishment of the British appeasement policy with regards to revanchist powers in the interbellum; policy that objectively led to disintegration of the created in 1919 systemic mechanism, and thus, the beginning of the World War II. The novelty of this work is substantiated by articulation of the problem. This article is first within the Russian and foreign historiography to analyze execution of the Anglo-German Naval Agreement based on the previously unavailable archival materials. The conclusion is made that this agreement played a crucial role in the process of disintegration of interbellum system of international relations. Having officially sanctioned the violation of the articles of the Versailles Treaty of 1919 by Germany, Great Britain psychologically reconciled to the potential revenge of Germany, which found reflection in the infamous appeasement policy. This launched the mechanism for disruption of status quo that was established after the World War I in Europe. This resulted in collapse of the architecture of international security in the key region of the world, rapid deterioration of relations between the countries, and a new world conflict.
