The Strategic Value of China's Foreign Policy and The Rivalry of The Majors Power in The Indo-Pacific
Authors: Alunaza Hardi , Sherin Virginia
Published: October 2022

The Indo-Pacific in the development of world politics is a meeting place for stakeholders from the US, China, Japan, India, Australia, and ASEAN to articulate each country's strategic interests. The rivalry between the US and China has been referred to as the new cold war in Southeast Asia. This momentum is an excellent opportunity for ASEAN to develop and expand its role in the Indo-Pacific by emphasizing centrality and putting its role to good use. Including the challenges of how China projects its strategic values to Australia, Japan, and India. This research analyzes the strategic value and emerging challenges of Majors Power in the Indo-Pacific. This article uses the theory balance of power with a qualitative descriptive method. It explains how China expands its influence in the Indo-Pacific region by increasing the distribution of rising power, new security concepts, peaceful rise, engagement, and comprehensive establishments and how this strategic value poses a challenge to India, the US, Australia, and Japan. The rise of the Indo-Pacific is one of the influences involving the superpowers by looking at the potential in the region. This is inextricably linked to China's national interest. The results of this research is that China uses the strategic value of rising power and new security concepts in its rivalry with the US and ASEAN. Concerning Australia, China prioritizes engagement and comprehensive establishment by leveraging economic benefits. In addition, China has shown a peaceful rise and engagement, as well as geopolitical rivalries with Japan and India.

To archieve vertical equalitation in the level of province in Indonesia there are two types of transfer fund which are extracted from tax and natural resources revenues. This research will focus on the tax-based vertical equalization type of sharing namely land and construction tax (PBB). In Central Java Land and Construction tax increases 20% per annum during the five year under observation. However, due to the absent for any regulation on the allocation of the Land and Construction Tax revenues, the province often allocates the revenue unprudently.

Women have a great significance in their children's lives from the moment they are born. The choice that mothers make regarding their children's mode of travelling to school will have a significant impact on how those children will think about walking and cycling in the future. The purpose of this study is to identify the perspectives of mothers towards allowing their children to school by walking in an area that is deemed suitable for such trip in our discussion on the nation’s future generation towards walking and not depending on private vehicles as the main mode of travelling. A focus group discussion, also known as FGD, took place in Taman Ilmu, which is in Nibong Tebal, Pulau Pinang. As a result of this study, using thematic analysis to analyse the results of conversation during the FGD session and collective mapping, we discovered four (4) themes of mother’s perspectives towards their children walking to school, which are as follows: (1) confidence and trust; (2) safety; (3) age and gender; and (4) weather. In summary, the built environment can be described as a solution to the 'out of control' scenario in which government and parental roles are effective in resolving the issue of children walking independently to school.

Authors: Rahmatullah Anita Ratnasari , Dewi Diah Intan Kusumo , Nurmasari Chindy Dhia Tsabit
Published: October 2022

Tingginya angka penggunaan kendaraan pribadi di Kota Semarang berdampak pada timbulnya kemacetan, yang kemudian mendorong Pemerintah Daerah mewujudkan penyelenggaraan moda transportasi umum untuk meminimalisir permasalahan tersebut. Diketahui bahwa terdapat dua moda transportasi umum yang cukup masif perkembangannya di Kota Semarang, yaitu BRT Trans Semarang dan Trans Jateng. Namun, dalam praktiknya, pengoperasian kedua moda transportasi tersebut menimbulkan permasalahan berkaitan dengan sistem integrasi dan komponen pendukungnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif dan analisis perbandingan yang secara keseluruhan menggunakan data sekunder. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa sebagian besar dari 9 halte transit BRT Trans Semarang dan Trans Jateng belum dilengkapi dengan fasilitas pelayanan integrasi transportasi yang memadai, sehingga perlu adanya peningkatan. Hal tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan menyusun strategi peningkatan komponen desain integrasi antar moda transportasi beberapa diantaranya dengan mempertimbangkan kecepatan dan kemudahan akses penumpang, keterjangkauan tarif dan ketersediaan lokasi transit.
ANALISIS PENYEDIAAN LAYANAN MRT JAKARTA YANG BERKESEHATAN
Authors: Naretta Priscilla Jocelyne , Manullang Okto Risdianto
Published: October 2022

Angkutan umum massal perkotaan menjadi salah satu kunci utama dalam mengatasi masalah kemacetan, terutama di kota-kota besar. Pembangunan MRT Jakarta dapat membantu masyarakat Kota Jakarta untuk melakukan perpindahan dari kendaraan pribadi menjadi angkutan umum. Namun, pandemi COVID-19 yang melanda Indonesia pada tahun 2020 mempengaruhi tingkat kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap keamanan dan kenyamanan MRT Jakarta. Hal ini berdampak pada penurunan penumpang MRT Jakarta yang mencapai 47,05%. Jika dilihat dari Peraturan Menteri nomor 63 Tahun 2019, dalam standar pelayanan minimum (SPM) belum menyebutkan adanya aspek kesehatan yang menjadi salah satu nilai penting dalam kondisi pandemi. Maka dari itu, studi ini akan menjawab pertanyaan penelitian mengenai bentuk aspek kesehatan seperti apa yang dibutuhkan saat ini dan di masa mendatang dalam penyediaan layanan MRT Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode CSI dan IPA, dimana hasil analisis menunjukkan adanya rasa puas terhadap layanan aspek kesehatan pada sarana dan prasarananya. Namun, masih terdapat atribut yang dianggap penting oleh pengguna, tetapi layanannya belum tersedia. Adapun atribut tersebut adalah tempat cuci tangan dekat pintu masuk stasiun dan hand sanitizer di ratangga (kereta). Mengacu pada kajian Protokol BANGKIT yang dikeluarkan oleh MRT Jakarta pada Tahun 2020, kedua atribut ini sudah seharusnya diterapkan semenjak diberlakukannya protokol kesehatan saat Pandemi COVID-19. Hasil akhir dalam penelitian dapat menjadi pertimbangan bagi PT. MRT untuk menyediakan layanan MRT Jakarta yang berkesehatan.
Team performance and the perception of being observed: Experimental evidence from top-level professional football
Authors: Ferraresi Massimiliano , Gucciardi Gianluca
Published: October 2022

We exploit the natural experimental setting provided by the Covid-19 lockdown to analyse how performance is affected by a friendly audience. Specifically, we use data on all football matches in the top-level competitions across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom over the 2019/2020 season. We compare the difference between the number of points gained by teams playing at home and teams competing away before the Covid-19 outbreak, when supporters could attend any match, with the same difference after the lockdown, when all matches took place behind closed doors. We find that the performance of the home team is halved when stadiums are empty. Further analyses indicate that offensive (defensive) actions taken by the home team are drastically reduced (increased) once games are played behind closed doors. Referees are affected too, as they change their behaviour in games without spectators. Finally, the home advantage is entirely driven by teams that do not have international experience. Taken together, our findings corroborate the hypothesis that social pressure influences individual behaviour.
Why is this language complex? Cherry-pick the optimal set of features in multilingual treebanks
Authors: Brunato Dominique , Venturi Giulia
Published: October 2022

This paper investigates linguistic complexity across natural languages from a corpus-based perspective and relies on the assumptions of linguistic profiling as a methodological framework. We focus in particular on the domain of syntactic complexity and analyze the distribution of a set of features taken as proxies of complexity phenomena at sentence level, which were extracted from 63 treebanks annotated according to the Universal Dependencies formalism. This dataset guarantees that the features considered are modeling the same linguistic phenomena in different treebanks, allowing reliable comparison among languages. We show that our approach is able to identify tendencies of structural proximity between languages not necessarily in line with typologically-supported classification, thus shedding light on new corpus-based findings.
Request realisation strategies in Italian: The influence of the variables of Distance and Weight of Imposition on strategy choice
Authors: Bartali Valentina
Published: October 2022

Research in the fields of pragmatics has highlighted important differences in speech act realisation strategies and the perception of contextual variables across lingua-cultures. This particularly applies for requests, which are potentially face-threating acts and important expressions of cultural behaviour, as their performance is influenced by culturally-embedded perspectives on rights and obligations. Although some languages have been widely investigated in terms of request realisation, such as English, little research has been done on Italian. This study examines request realisation strategies in Italian, in terms of Head Acts and request perspective, and the impact of the sociopragmatic factors of social distance and weight of imposition of the request on strategy choice amongst eight Italian speakers, by means of open-ended roleplays. The data was analysed by using a coding scheme based on Blum-Kulka and Olshtain (1984) and revealed that the Italian speakers where more influenced by social distance, which in turn impacted on the choice of request perspective. They were shown to prefer using hearer-orientation, which reflected in the verb conjugation of the Head Acts, since this perspective allows them to do relational work with the hearer, by either addressing the recipient with the familiartuor with the formallei.

Exploring Tourist Preferences on the Visitor Management System: the Case Study of Plitvice Lakes National Park
Authors: Sergiacomi Carlotta , Vuletić Dijana , Paletto Alessandro , Fagarazzi Claudio
Published: October 2022

This study aims to develop an online survey on the tourist perception of the visitor management system of the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. As tourists are particularly sensitive to organisational issues related to the Park management, a bottom-up approach based on visitors’ opinions has been applied. First of all, a brief chronology has been reconstructed that retraces the most significant stages of the Park. Subsequently, an online questionnaire was structured on the basis of the current Park Management Plan with a focus on the macro-topics concerning the visitor management system. The survey was distributed using the Google Form application. A total of 214 questionnaires were collected in the period between May and July 2022. The sample was statistically analysed to detect the main habits of the Park users. The Mann-Whitney-Wilcox U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test were applied to identify the differences in the priorities attributed by visitors to the various management actions. Among the main findings of the research, the authors identified that national visitors (i.e. Croatian) place a higher priority on the implementation of services and infrastructure than tourists from other countries. In addition, those who have visited the Park on multiple occasions have higher safety expectations than those who have only visited the Park once. This category of visitors also considers it more important to take into account the opinions of visitors. Furthermore, with regard to retail and souvenir shops, tourists are generally inclined to set a lower priority for intervention than that attributed to other management aspects. The results of this study can be of great value to Park managers, who should consider visitors as key stakeholders in the decision-making process that is the foundation for managing this important natural resource.

Published: October 2022

Nanoscroll formation by casacade intercalation–exfoliation method was investigated for a high iron-content kaolin and after the removal of its iron-bearing mineral constituents (goethite, hematite) by 11 M HCl treatment. Hindered kaolinite nanoscroll formation was observed by TEM in both cases, where the 11 M HCl treatment only slightly improved the occurrence of nanoscrolled shapes. The presence of minor amounts of well-dispersed, resilient Fe was observed after the exfoliation of 11 M HCl-treated sample, which was identified as structural Fe3+/Fe2+ in the octahedral sheet of kaolinite by Mössbauer and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Iron substitution in the nanokaolinite TO layers was probed by computational chemistry. The computational results indicate inner coordination changes and elongation of bonds in the iron-substituted TO structure, and the increased curvature values offer an explanation for the observed experimental results for hindered nanoscroll formation.

Homo anxius, or How Fear and Anxiety Conquered the Social World
Authors: Ambasciano Leonardo
Published: October 2022

The article offers an extended review, counterpointed by a critical commentary, of two recent and outstanding volumes, Turner et al.’s The Emergence and Evolution of Religion (2018) and Sanderson’s Religious Evolution and the Axial Age (2018). Both books are eminently interdisciplinary in their scope: the first displays a distinctive deep-historical and neurosociological attention to the evolution of negative emotions and inter-group competition, while the latter focuses on the contribution of world transcendent religions to help human beings cope with new and challenging biosocial conditions derived from ultrasociality. While the two volumes gain unprecedented multidisciplinary width, they also tend to lose intra-disciplinary depth. However, and for all their differences, they both represent the vanguard of a renewed qualitative, scientific, and interdisciplinary study of the history of religion(s) through cognitive historiography. This contribution presents the main theses of both books, highlights their strengths, and provides a comprehensive discussion of their epistemological and methodological shortcomings.
Big Gods and Big Rituals
Authors: Rüpke Jörg
Published: October 2022

This short article reviews recent claims made about large-scale rituals and moralizing gods for the formation of large-scale societies. It starts from a reconstruction of the actual contents of the claims made in very different forms and wording and points to the very vague suggestions about causal relationships or chronological coincidence. Against these claims, three main arguments are advanced. First, it is difficult to formulate a model of trans-locally standardized rituals that would be able to keep together trans-local societies without the existence of secondary media, above all writing, which would be an even more important factor in processes of homogenization. Secondly, historically religion can be shown to serve as frequently for stabilizing distinction and dissent as for producing unity. Thirdly and finally, the very possibility of an exhaustive and stable classificatory grid across cultures and epochs is questioned. In a brief final case study, the lack of adequate descriptors in the database under review is demonstrated for ancient Rome.
El valor teológico-epistemológico del deseo humano de Dios en "De Vita Moysis" de San Gregorio de Nisa
Authors: Wozniak Robert
Published: October 2022

El artículo tiene por objeto el examen de la gnoseología teológica nisena desde el punto de vista de su teoría del deseo. La base de la investigación es la concepción fundamental de teología tal como se encuentra en el texto de De Vita Moysis. La presentación de los resultados de la investigación se hace con base en la constatación de unos presupuestos dogmáticos del Niseno, p. ej. su concepción de la infinitud divina y su antropología dinámica. Al final se constata que para Gregorio el «deseo» es un concepto sumamente teológico que refleja en sí todos los grandes rasgos de la teología del gran Niseno. Además se hace claro que el deseo es una de las miscondiciones del verdadero conocimiento de Dios: se puede conocer a Dios sólo deseándole a él. Eso revela un fuerte acento espiritual-subjetivo en la concepción de la teología de Gregorio.

Cuerpo místico, pueblo de Dios y sacramento: tres paradigmas que iluminaron la reflexión sobre la santidad de la Iglesia (1920-1965)
Authors: De Salis Miguel
Published: October 2022

La santidad de la Iglesia es uno de los capítulos eclesiológicos que ha sufrido cambios importantes a lo largo del siglo XX. Este estudio trata de las aportaciones y cambios relacionados con las tres principales ideas de la Iglesia del periodo entre 1920 y 1965. La imagen del cuerpo de Cristo aportó importantes contenidos en el discurso, algunos de los cuales fueron asumidos por autores que han preferido ver la Iglesia bajo los otros paradigmas. Por eso hemos evitado señalar argumentaciones o temas «típicos» de un paradigma, y subrayamos los cambios de sentido cuando estábamos delante de la recepción de argumentos desarrollados bajo otro paradigma.
Las consecuencias éticas del dogma de la creación
Authors: Müller Mons. Gerhard L.
Published: October 2022

El texto alude a las consecuencias del dogma de la creación en el ámbito de la ética y de la antropología. De ahí surgen todo orden y libertad, el logos y todo amor como elementos originarios y fundantes. Por eso, desde el principio, la verdad y la libertad se imponen sobre el caos y el azar como principios constitutivos de la realidad. A la vez, el hombre se configura desde el origen como un ser en continua relación con Dios, tal como enseñó el Vaticano II. Considerar a la persona humana como imago Dei y como imagen de la Trinidad es un punto de partida y de llegada de la doctrina de la creación. Ésta es una reflexión válida también para la ciencia actual.
El ministerio en Lutero, Trento y el Vaticano II. Un recorrido históricodogmático
Authors: Blanco Pablo
Published: October 2022

La Reforma luterana abordó el ministerio no sólo desde el ámbito teórico, sino también desde el sacramental y el eclesiológico. Lutero fundamentó el ministerio en Cristo y en la comunidad, a la vez que insistió en el sacerdocio común de todos los bautizados, recordado después por el Vaticano II. La doctrina católica insiste en fundamentar el ministerio también en la Iglesia por vía sacramental. La teología reformada afirma que en el ministerio eclesial o especial basta con la vocación, mientras los católicos sostienen la necesidad de una ordenación sacramental. En fin, el problema aquí expuesto culmina con el tema de la prasucesión apostólica (cfr. UR 22), pues mientras las comunidades luteranas mantienen que basta con una sucesión en la fe apostólica, la Iglesia católica ha insistido siempre en la necesidad de una cadena ininterrumpida en la imposición de manos a partir de los apóstoles 1.

Is crime getting increasingly violent? An assessment of the role of bank associated robbery in South Africa
Authors: Thobane Mahlongonolo , Prinsloo Johan
Published: October 2022

There is public concern about the violent nature of crime in South Africa and the continuously increasing levels of crime, both of which place a huge burden on the resources of the criminal justice system. ‘Bank associated robbery’ is a bank-related robbery (or attempted robbery) of cash, committed against a bank client while en route to or from a bank or ATM. Although this phenomenon is relatively unknown both in the academe and to the general public, the drastic increase in these violent and potentially traumatic crimes puts the general public at risk, and is therefore of particular concern to the banking industry and criminal justice practitioners. The impact and consequences of these robberies are aggravated by their interaction with the so-called trio crimes: home invasions and robbery, business robberies, and vehicle hijacking. In this article the dynamics of bank associated robbery are analysed, as well as its interrelationship with the trio crimes.

Prospective study to compare the dose distribution and acute toxicity of three-dimentional conformal radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy for post-mastectomy radiotherapy in carcinoma breast
Authors: S Chakraborty , S Sharma , A Maji , L Biswas , S Mandal
Published: October 2022

Though adjuvant radiotherapy has an established role in the treatment of carcinoma breast, there is concern regarding irradiation to heart and lung, more on left sided disease. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) modulates the intensity of the radiation beams with better accuracy, sparing surrounding normal organs. But it increases integral dose to normal healthy tissues compared to 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT). So, our study was aimed at comparing the dosimetry and acute toxicity profile of 3DCRT and IMRT in post-mastectomy patients. In study arm patients received radiotherapy with IMRT and in control arm with 3DCRT, radiation dose being 50 Gy in 25 fractions for 5 weeks for both the arms. We compared the dosimetric data for Planning Target Volume (PTV) and Organ At-risk (OAR) by both techniques along with acute toxicity profile. Dosimetric parameter of PTV coverage V95 and V107 were significantly better in IMRT than 3DCRT (p-value <0.0001). IMRT showed better homogeneity index (0.14 Gy vs 0.26 Gy) and conformity index was also better for IMRT (0.94 Gy vs 0.74 Gy, p-value 0.0028). The mean value of heart V25 in left sided disease was significantly lower in IMRT than 3DCRT (22.59 and 25.64, p value 0.01). V20 of ipsilateral lung was numerically less in IMRT though not significant (31.44 vs 35.3). But low dose volume was significantly more in IMRT, as seen by higher V5 of heart and ipsilateral lung. To conclude, IMRT has better PTV coverage and better sparing of organs at risk with more homogenous and conformal plans than 3DCRT. Keywords: adjuvant radiotherapy; IMRT; 3DCRT; carcinoma breast
A prospective randomised trial comparing the analgesic efficacy of postoperative infusion of epidural bupivacaine and ropivacaine in orthopaedic surgeries
Authors: M Jisha , D Kannan , S Koti , R Polavarapu , V Arunpandiyan
Published: October 2022

Background: Epidural administration of local anaesthetic provides effective pain relief. Commonly used epidural local anaesthetics are bupivacaine and ropivacaine. Most studies compared these drugs along with an opioid or any other adjuvants like clonidine, dexmedetomidine etc. Our aim was to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of continuous infusion of epidural ropivacaine and bupivacaine without any adjuvants in postoperative patients. Materials and methods: A prospective randomized clinical study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in 60 patients between the age groups of 20-years and 60-years undergoing elective lower limb orthopaedic procedures. Total patients were divided into two groups (A and B) of 30 each. Continuous epidural infusion was started with 6ml per hour of 0.125% bupivacaine in Group A and 6ml per hour of 0.2% ropivacaine in Group B postoperatively. After the commencement of epidural infusions, heart rate, blood pressure, Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and supplementary analgesic requirement were monitored postoperatively for 48 hrs. Results: Our observations showed no significant difference in haemodynamic parameters like heart rate and blood pressure. VAS showed a statistically significant difference with higher mean VAS score in Group B patients at one hour (p value = 0.0126), 12 hrs (p value = 0.031) and 24 hrs (p value = 0.0421) as compared to Group A. Add on analgesic requirement was also higher for Group B patients. Conclusions: Both bupivacaine and ropivacaine can be used effectively for postoperative analgesia but bupivacaine has a superior analgesic efficacy than ropivacaine with similar safety profile.

Scalp block: The forgotten technique –A review article
Authors: Shetti Akshaya. N. , Mustilwar Rachita G
Published: October 2022

Majority of neurosurgical procedures are performed under general anaesthesia. It is still possible to perform some of the procedures under regional anaesthesia like scalp block. It involves blocking the nerves that innervate the scalp. The technique is easy to perform, but the practitioners should be aware of possible complications because of closer relation of blood vessels with nerves. Despite various advantages over general anaesthesia scalp block is not practiced routinely. This article reviews the relevant anatomy and technique of scalp block.

Authors: Oliveira Jaqueline de , De Bona Bruna Carolini
Published: October 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar de que modo a formação artístico-cultural dos professores de Educação Física interfere no trato do conteúdo dança na escola. A metodologia utilizada foi uma pesquisa de campo, através de questionários, com professores de Educação Física das escolas em que uma das pesquisadoras realizou os estágios obrigatórios vinculados ao curso de licenciatura. Percebemos que, de fato, o processo de formação dos professores de Educação Física no âmbito artístico-cultural interfere no trato com o conteúdo dança nas aulas. Em sua maioria, o conteúdo aparece de forma empírica e fragmentada, desconsiderando a dança como uma linguagem da arte. O artigo, portanto, busca auxiliar na reflexão da formação de professores, compreendendo a importância da formação artístico-cultural e do acesso a essa produção humana, traçando relações com o conteúdo dança na escola.

Published: October 2022

Recent statistics have shown the increasing trend of divorce cases among Malay Muslims in Malaysia. Past research has focused on marriage satisfaction and the quality of the relationship in marriages. However, there is limited research on the factors that contribute significantly to a long-lasting marriage, particularly among the Malay Muslim community. This paper aims to share the initial findings to explore the strength of relationships in a lasting marriage among Muslim Malay couples in Malaysia. This paper adopts a qualitative approach. The study conducts an extensive literature review to find out some of the causes of divorce and factors that improve a long marriage. The findings indicate that three main considerations in the choice of a spouse are religion, responsible character good mannerisms and race. Age, looks and job are the least considered factors that account for the sustenance of marriage.

Knowledge Sharing to Reduce Toxin Exposure Risks from Harmful Algal Blooms: Global Networks and Political Barriers

Published: October 2022

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a signifi­cant global environmental management challenge, especially with respect to micro­algae that produce dangerous natural toxins. Examples of HAB toxin diseases with major global health impact include: ciguatera poi­soning, paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP), and neurotoxic (brevetoxin) shellfish poisoning (NSP). Such diseases affect communities globally and contribute to health inequalities within the United States and beyond. Sharing data and lessons learned about the factors deter­mining bloom occurrence and associated exposure to contaminated seafood across locations can reduce public health risks. Knowledge sharing is particularly important as ongoing global environmental changes seem to alter the intensity, location, and timing of toxic HAB events, reducing the reliability of conventional guidance where toxin risks have been endemic and leading to emerging challenges in new settings. Political changes that disrupt membership in knowledge-sharing networks may impede efforts to share scientific expertise and best practices. In this commentary, we stress the importance of community and expert knowledge sharing for reducing HAB risks, both for vulnerable communities in the United States and globally. Considering the impacts of political changes, we note the indirect engagement sometimes required for continued participation in international coordination programs. As an example, we highlight how lessons learned from a Native-led toxin monitoring and testing program (the Southeast Alaska Tribal Ocean Research partnership) can inform programs in other settings. We also describe how in­ternational knowledge is mutually valuable for this program in Southeast Alaska. Ethn Dis.2022;32(4):285-292; doi:10.18865/ed.32.4.285

Authors: Rusinova Natalia V. , Stepanova Maria M.
Published: October 2022

We consider the issue of interdisciplinary integration in teaching at Master’s Degree Programme of “Economics” and “Management”. It explains the important role of foreign languages and culture as the central element of the model of interdisciplinary integration at universities nowadays. It further proves that culture is a key to interdisciplinary integration in language learning of future Master’s Degree Student. Currently, a graduate of Master’s Degree Programme implies both being able to speak a modern language and use the knowledge of languages in working with up-to-date communication technologies when tackling professional tasks and collaborating with colleagues from other countries. Modern federal state education standard for Economics and Management require that Master’s Degree Programmes graduates are competent in the aspect of intercultural communication and know a foreign language at a high level. We suggest a Model of interdisciplinary integration in language teaching at Master’s Degree Programme, which includes target, content, organizational-methodic and perfomance-assessment components. This model implements the main language, culture, humane, innovation, environmental, axiological, valeological, acmeological, aesthetic and other orientations; principles integration and differentiation, continuity and consistency of education. The main purpose of interdisciplinary integration in foreing language teaching at Master’s Degree Programme is to form a well-founded, culturally full-fledged person able to speak a foreign language and operate modern communication technologies. Implementation of interdisciplinary integration in language teaching at Master’s Degree Programme demands coordinated actions of language teachers as well as major disciplines educators.

Authors: Goncharova Natalya A. , Medvedev Alexey V.
Published: October 2022

It is proved that the problem of formation of the foundations of intercultural communicative competence of students of secondary vocational education with the use of project and research activities is in the center of attention. On the one hand, this technology helps to increase tolerance, motivation of students to learn a foreign language and is an effective means of forming an educated personality capable of foreign language communication, self-development and self-realization. On the other hand, the problem of forming the basics of intercultural communicative competence of students is relevant, because nowadays the fact of determining the conditions and factors of the effectiveness of the use of project and research activities during foreign language teaching is insufficiently investigated. It is emphasized that a significant amount of research is devoted to the application of project research activities in teaching foreign languages. Based on the analysis, it is proved that conducting a modern foreign language lesson with the use of project and research activities means creating such comfortable learning conditions in which each student of secondary vocational education will feel his success, intellectual viability, as well as learn to communicate with other people, think critically and be democratic. It is concluded that project and research activities in line with the intercultural aspect of education gives students of secondary vocational education the opportunity to replenish their knowledge both within their native culture and abroad, expand the base of socio-cultural knowledge and broaden their horizons.
