A Prospective Sustainability Indicator for Pension Systems
Authors: Culotta Fabrizio
Published: December 2021

This work proposes an informative system to monitor pension systems by integrating pension and labor market statistics. This more comprehensive system is used to build an indicator to measure prospectively the sustainability of pension systems. The set of indicators is divided into two groups, each tracking pension contributions and payments flows. Each flow is composed by the product of three statistics: a statistics for the extensive margin, i.e. how many contributors and retirees, one for the intensive margin, i.e. how much workers contribute and pensioners receive pensions, and one for the durational margin, i.e. for how long workers contribute and retirees receive pensions. As such, the statistical content is coherent with the set of pension indicators considered by Eurostat and OECD. Statistics are extracted from Eurostat database and ensure cross-country comparability. The advantage of this approach is twofold. Firstly, it allows reflecting specificities of each pension regimes, characterized by own specific contribution rules and pension formulas, without explicitly account for them. Secondly, it allows to relate the assessment of sustainability of pension systems to the dynamics of labor markets since it explicitly takes into account the distribution of wages, the duration of working life, the distribution of old-age pensions and the life expectancy at retirement. An application on a pool of seven European countries (Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands) is provided for the period 2015 - 2019. The indicator for the prospective sustainability of pension systems is compared across two other alternatives to stress the contribution of each margin. These alternatives are then compared with a benchmark indicator and their correlations are measured.
Tourism of Italians in Italy through crisis and development: the last 15 years, region by region
Authors: Antolini Fabrizio , Giusti Antonio
Published: December 2021

Tourism is a very important economic activity for many nations and Italy is among those that particularly benefit from it. In fact, even during the period of pandemic, despite the crisis, tourism in Italy proved to be a particularly resilient sector: among all European countries, Italy is the one that recorded the highest number of total tourist nights-spent. However, tourism statistics are not yet exhaustive in describing a highly variable phenomenon at the territorial level. Even the tourism satellite accounts, so useful for sectoral planning at regional level, are compiled for the whole country. Instead, the territories do not always know themselves, while the enhancement of landscape resources is one of the major issues that has not always been adequately analyzed; also in the recently approved Italian PNRR/Next Generation EU.
In this article, we aim to examine the trend of the tourism phenomenon in the various Italian regions over the past 15 years; a period marked by crises of different origins (economic, political, health) which slowed down the economic development of the third millennium. In particular, given the problems mentioned above, we decided to start the research by considering the arrivals in hotels and non-hotel establishments by Italian tourists. The hospitality business is in fact an important part of the tourism industry. We expect domestic tourism to have greater stability, being less affected by international problems.
We then examined the tourism of Italians in Italy, in the various regions, from 2006 to 2020. This analysis allowed us to observe the tourism phenomenon in Italy from a different perspective, observing, region by region, the relationship between tourism within the region and tourism coming from others regions. The choice of arrivals, instead of night spent, reduces the influence of the specific type of tourism in each region. The first results appear interesting.

Authors: Martinelli Federico , Perrone Anna , Dandekar Abhaya M.
Published: December 2021

A protocol to produce transgenic shoots of Malus X domestica cv Greensleaves was optimized using two gene constructs previously used to create parthenocarpic tomato, Ino-IaaM and DefH9-IaaM. The aim was to obtain sufficient nº of transgenic shoots for in vitro multiplication, transfer to soil, grafting and testing for parthenocarpy in the next years. We investigated the effects of two modifications of a previous published protocol: 1) co-transformation with an Agrobacterium containing “VIP” genes in the gene construct and 2) two different hormones or hormone combinations. More shoot regeneration was obtained with a combination of three hormones (BA:NAA:TDZ) during co-cultivation instead of IBA and no co-transformation was performed using the VIP gene. For the DefH9-IaaM transgene, 21.04% regeneration was achieved for this treatment instead of 8.95% achieved with “IBA treatment” and 4.42% with the Agrobacterium co-transformation treatment. More shoot regeneration occurred with the combination of three hormones (BA:NAA:TDZ) instead of with only IBA and no co-transformation was performed using VIP gene. Experiments using Ino-IaaM confirmed the results shown for the DefH9-IaaM transgene. The regenerated shoots were multiplied in selective media containing kanamycin and roots were obtained.
Molecular identification and genetic relationships among Alcea (Malvaceae) species by ISSR Markers: A high value medicinal plant
Authors: Cheng Jinxin , Hu Dingyu , Liu Yaran , Zhang Zetian , Khayatnezhad Majid
Published: December 2021

Alcea L. is one of the largest genera of Malvaceae family with nearly 70 species worldwide mainly distributed in SW Asia. According to the latest revision of the family, it is represented by 34 species in the Flora of Iran, among them, 15 species are endemic. It is tough to accurate germplasm/ plant recognition by using morphological characteristics because of its propagation, growing and using. We conducted a molecular data analysis on these plant species due to their importance. We examined 156 plants from 14 species in 16 regions that were selected randomly for this investigation. It has been 119 polymorphic bands (94.33%) were resulted from 128 bands of 10 primers in amplification of genomic DNA. ISSR primers have a great capacity to detect polymorphic loci among Alcea species, as evidenced by the high average PIC and MI values found. The genetic similarity of 14 species was calculated and ranged between 0.635 to 0.990. Inter-Simple sequence repeats (ISSR) markers research revealed that Alcea tarica Pakravan & Ghahreman and Alcea kopetdaghensis lljin had the least similarity, while Alcea semnanica Pakravan and Alcea mazandaranica Pakravan & Ghahreman had the most. The current study attempts to answer three questions: 1) can ISSR markers identify Alcea species? 2) what is the genetic structure of these taxa in Iran? and 3) what is the inter-relationship between these taxa? The current study discovered that ISSR markers can be used to identify species.

Abordagem fuzzy para caracterização de incertezas estruturais e quantificação de riscos hidrológicos: estudo de caso do reservatório Orós no semiárido brasileiro
Authors: Batista de Sousa Raulino João , Costa Malveira Vanda Tereza , E. Lima Neto Iran
Published: December 2021

Nos estudos de Recursos Hídricos, a identificação e a caracterização das incertezas são etapas necessárias e importantes da modelagem dos sistemas hídricos, pois permitem ter um entendimento das interações entre os dados, parâmetros e estrutura do modelo. O risco de um sistema depende das incertezas presentes e o quanto elas podem torná-lo vulnerável a solicitações externas. As incertezas são, portanto, o plano de fundo onde os riscos são gerados. Este trabalho teve como objetivo demonstrar a aplicabilidade do Números Fuzzy Triangulares (NFTs) na identificação e caracterização de incertezas hidrológicas em um exemplo simples, bem como utilizá-los para quantificar os riscos do sistema hídrico associado. A metodologia consistiu em identificar e classificar a incerteza na vazão afluente em razão de duas fontes distintas que contrastam quanto à área de drenagem da sub-bacia do reservatório Orós, localizado no Estado do Ceará, Brasil, caracterizá-la utilizando NFTs e quantificar o risco fuzzy associado em usar uma ou outra no processo de geração de informações hidrológicas. Os resultados demonstraram que a incerteza identificada é estrutural, sendo que foi possível caracterizá-la por meio dos elementos característicos do NFT considerando as características de regiões semiáridas. Os riscos calculados demonstram que considerar a vazão afluente fornecida pela Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA) em vez da da Companhia de Gestão dos Recursos Hídricos do Ceará (COGERH) pode afetar a real capacidade do sistema. No exemplo numérico para ilustrar o impacto da incerteza estrutural, vazão regularizada, observou-se um impacto significativo sobre a real capacidade do sistema hídrico. O risco de falha da vazão regularizada, determinada a partir dos dados da ANA, foi 24% maior dos que os 10% usados para estimar a vazão regularizada, quando comparado com a vazão regularizada gerada a partir dos dados da COGERH. Os NFTs conseguiram caracterizar e quantificar o risco da incerteza estrutural no sistema estudado, demonstrando que o NFT é uma ferramenta aplicável e útil na obtenção de informações hidrológicas para gerenciamento de recursos hídricos em bacias semiáridas.

Authors: Timofte Mihai , Leuciuc Florin
Published: December 2021

The variety of handball playing positions produces implications on the physical, motor and physiological particularities of the players, being necessary an individualization of the training according to the specific requirements of the playing position. The development of strength capacity is done during all phases of the training, and the content used to optimize strength capacity at senior handball players of the group subjected to the experiment was varied, diversified and adapted to each trainingsession. The aim of the research was to design and apply a training methodology that would lead to the optimization of strength capacity at senior handball players with consequences in terms of performance and level of game efficiency. The following control tests were used to assessthe subjects' strength indices: test 1 maximum repetition for semiflexion, chest push-up and chest lift, and the plate test was used for the isometric strength. The results obtained by the experimental group at the strength tests applied in research aredue to the specific strength training used for a period of 6 months. The designed strength program for handball players was implemented considering the characteristics of the handball game, athletes’ particularities in order to achieve a better efficiency in training and competition. The intergroup statistical analysis of the final testing indicates statistical significance in favor of the experiment group, which confirms the efficiency of the means used in the training, ensuring an optimal framework for obtaining performance in competitions.

Published: December 2021

Introduction. In Asia, in the early 1970s, a new concept was developed -kinesiological tape.Physiotherapists use the kinesiological band in both performance or amateur athletes and patients who are in a kinetic recovery program. The exact mechanisms by which the kinesiological band acts on the body have not yet been fully elucidated .Aim. The aim of the study was to identify in the literature the information about the potential positive or negative effects offered by the use of kinesiological tape inperformance athletes that had suffered injuries and also to identify potential prophylactic effects inhealthy athletes.Material and method. The selection of articles was made using the Google Scholar search engine, where 98 studies were found in the databasesof ResearchGate, PubMed, MinervaMedica, Journal of Athletic Training, Journal of Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy. Only studies on groups of performance athletes were included.Results. Of the 28 selected articles, 12 studies showed results in which there were increases in performance and improvements in some parameters, in 12 studies it was concluded that there were no beneficial or significant effects, and in 4 articles the results of applying the bands kinesiological and placebo effect had relatively similar positive effects.Conclusions.Kinesiology tapes do not seem to bringmajor benefits in terms of the performance inhealthy athletes. Regarding the potential prophylactic effect of kinesiological bands, several complex and longer studies need tobe performed. But the kinesiological bands could be considered as an adjuvant method in rehabilitation.

Published: December 2021

Physical education, sports, and health teachers at elementary schools are obliged to teach their students about the correct basic movements. The basic movements that become the material for elementary school students are part of gross motor skills. The correct movement can be known well if the assessment is based on the process of the movement. The gross motor quality of students can be known by using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). TGMD-2 is a gross motor skill test instrument for children from 3 to 9 years of age. This age range still represents elementary school students in grades 1 to 3. The assessment on the TGMD-2 is based on the correctness of the students’ movements. Assessment based on the correct movement requires intensive mentorship so that teachers can understand the use of test instrument indicators. The mentorship lasted for 8 hours per day with practical material. The implementation of practice-based mentorship provides real experience for teachers in implementing TGMD-2. After undergoing mentorship activities, 88% of teachers have a percentage increase in test results above 90%. This increase shows the potential for successful use of TGMD-2 independently by the teacher and can improve the quality of the assessment of gross motor skills carried out by the teacher.

Authors: VRABIE Diana , ABALAȘEI Beatrice-Aurelia , IACOB George-Sebastian
Published: December 2021

Although there are multiple published reviews about the effects of the most common techniques, such as stretching or the use of foam roller on the range of motion (Behm et al., 2016; Wilke et al., 2020) or performance parameters (Behm & Wilke, 2019; Konrad et al., 2021), there is no analysis on the effects of medical flossing. To date, two reviews have been publishedabout effectiveness of using ankle flossing to improve dorsiflexion amplitude or jump performance (Pisz et al., 2020; Kielur & Powden, 2020). This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of medical flossing added to routine treatment in patients with epicondylitis, compared to conventional physiotherapy treatment. The study included 6 subjects who showed localized pain in the area of the lateral epicondyle exacerbated with the Cozen test. The other criteria for selecting patients were the duration of the symptoms, less than 3 months from the onset of the disease and pain intensity more than 5 on the Visual Analog scale.To monitor the evolution of the subjects involved, we used a visual analog pain scale to assess the intensity of pain at different times during the application of therapy, before and after the end of the treatment. Another tool used to measure the degree of pain and dysfunction was the PRTEE Questionnaire (Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation). The rehabilitation program took place between August and September 2021, for 30 days, with afrequency of 3 times per week. 6 patients with lateral epicondylitis were included and medical flossing was used only in the case of 3 patients at each therapy session. The differences between groups at the time of the initial assessment, in terms of pain intensity were statistically insignificant (p=0.288, p>0.05). The results obtained in terms of decreasing pain were in favor of the use of medical flossing as an adjuvant method in specific pain existing in lateral epicondylitis. Although in both groups there was a decrease in pain after 4 weeks of treatment, the intervention group recorded significant reduced values compared to the control group (p=0.024; p<0.05). Regarding PRTEE Functional Score, at the final assesment there was a decrease in both groups, which means the functional condition of the patients has improved.
Critical thinking in geography education: is geographical thinking critical?
Authors: Bendl Tomáš , Marada Miroslav
Published: December 2021

Geography as a school subject offers enormous potential for fostering skills and competences crucial for life in twenty-first century. Yet most Czech geography teachers still lean towards memorizing facts with weak understanding. Why do we expect teachers to teach toward skills such as critical thinking if no consensus over its meaning exists – especially in the context of learning geography? This lack of clear meaning causes not only problems with teaching it, but also fails any attempt at measurment and evaluation. Therefore, the main aim of this study is, to create a unifying taxonomy of critical thinking skills in the geographical context and link these newly founded skills into the geographical thinking concept. To fulfil these goals, we employ existing structural models of critical thinking combined with a thorough literature review. As a result of this study, we present the required set of skills of a critically thinking geographer in higher education and a new perspective on geographical thinking.
Polish Public Opinion on the United States Missile Defense Complex in Poland
Authors: Lipińska Justyna
Published: December 2021

The ongoing cooperation between the United States and Poland on ballistic missile defense has been centered for a long time solely around the construction of the U.S. missile defense complex in Redzikowo, Poland. Although the complex is going to operate as an element of the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defense System, its origins were tied to bilateral security and defense cooperation between the U.S. and Poland. As the presence of the U.S. military forces in Poland will remain crucial for Polish security and defense, and the societal support will be vital for its sustainment, it is worth exploring how Polish society reacted to concepts and plans for fielding the U.S. missile defense complex several years ago.
The aim of this article was to explore the evolution of societal support and public opinion in Poland related to the construction of the U.S. missile defense complex in Redzikowo, Poland. The following research problem was posed: how has Polish public opinion about the missile defense complex construction changed over time? The research relied on methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis, and the primary research technique was the analysis of public opinion polls in Poland between 2004 and 2019. Public opinion has remained interested in the developments related to hosting the U.S. missile defense complex in Poland since early negotiations to the project implementation phase. The project was seen in a broader context of security and defense cooperation with the U.S. and within the NATO.
The Political and Military Aspects of Creating Anti-Access/Area-Denial Systems (A2/AD): The Example Of China and Russia
Authors: Dobija Konrad
Published: December 2021

Over the last two decades, China and Russia have been developing Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) systems mainly based on long-range Air Defense, ballistic and cruise missiles, supported by Electronic Warfare and cyber-attack capabilities. Initially, these systems were used for defense purposes, but over time. it was recognized they could be also applied for imposing military situation in the specific regions and create effective response to NATO countries and their concept of conducting military operations. The main aim of the article is to asses and present the impact of  Chinese and Russian Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) systems on changes in global political relations and balance of military power. In the course of this study, the author used numerous analyzes, synthesis, comparisons and case studies methods mainly concentrated on presently operating A2/AD systems. This article undertakes the analysis of the Chinese bases located in the South China Sea and Djibouti, Russian A2/AD systems within Russia's borders with particular emphasis on Kaliningrad Oblast, and A2/AD systems in Crimea and Syria created as part of Russian military operations. This research allowed us to conclude that some of the A2/AD systems serve to defend borders, while the rest are created to influence the geopolitical and military situation or to gain an advantage in the area of military operations. It can be also evaluate that the use of these systems allow dominate future conflicts because they enable to establish a full control zones which are completely closed for opponents forces operations.
Modern Missile Defense System As An Indispensable National and NATO's Deterrence Tool
Authors: Marszałek Maciej
Published: December 2021

The main aim of this article is to prove the significance of the missile defense system  for military deterrence at the allied (NATO) and national level (the US, Poland, etc.). To achieve the aim, theoretical research methods such as analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization were applied.  The results of the conducted research show that the missile defense system of Poland and other alliance members, and the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defense System should be considered as the crucial elements of the military deterrence, even though such systems are not offensive in nature. Thus, the formulated thesis undermines the up-to-date understanding of the problem, and therefore may contribute to further discussion on the topic of using means of defensive deterrence.

Published: December 2021

В работе для численного моделирования хрупкого разрушения с целью повышения эффективности громоздких расчетов предлагается использовать двухуровневую процедуру построения сетки дискретизации. На верхнем уровне генерируется сетка фрагментов - локусов задаваемых размеров и произвольной случайной формы, по границам которых может происходить разрушение. На нижнем уровне каждый локус разбивается на сетку конечных элементов. Разрыв связей между конечными элементами по траектории разрушение между локусами реализуется с помощью процедуры сцепляющей среды. Для построения сетки дискретизации верхнего уровня использована диаграмма Воронова. Разработан алгоритм процедуры создания локусов на телах произвольной формы в двумерной и трехмерной постановках. Процедура реализована на языке APDL, для использования в программном комплексе ANSYS. Алгоритм протестирован при различных значениях задаваемых параметров и на объектах разнообразной формы. Численное решение задачи о разрушении цилиндрического образца из хрупкого материала по бразильскому тесту определения прочностных характеристик материала на растяжение продемонстрировало хорошее согласование полученной картины разрушения с реальной.

In this paper, for numerical modeling of brittle fracture in order to increase the efficiency of complex calculations, it is proposed to use a two-level procedure for generating a discretization network. At the upper level, a network of fragments – locus’s, of specified sizes and arbitrary random shape, is generated. At the lower level, each locus is meshed by FE. The breaking of connections between finite elements along the trajectory of destruction between locus is realized using the cohesive zone procedure. The properties of the Voronov diagram are used to generate the upper-level discretization network. The algorithm of the procedure for creating locus on bodies of arbitrary shape in two-dimensional and three-dimensional formulations is developed. The procedure is implemented in the APDL, for use in the ANSYS. The algorithm is tested at various values of the specified parameters and on objects of various shapes. The numerical solution of the problem of the destruction of a cylindrical sample made of brittle material according to the Brazilian test for determining the tensile strength characteristics of the material demonstrated a good agreement of the obtained fracture pattern with the real one.

Repair of cracks in the ship plates is the most responsible and complex operation The task of obtaining the specified dimensions of the melt on the reverse side of the welded metal is sharply complicated in cases where access to the reverse side of the seam is difficult or even impossible, the implementation of double-sided welds on the outer skin of the hull of the vessel, in most cases for access to damaged areas, leads to an increase in the number of related works on the dismantling (installation) of equipment and affects the normative terms of repair of vessels, including when ships are parked in the dock. This paper presents the results of the study of the effectiveness of the technology of repair of cracks in the ship plates, by orienting the welding bath along the damage plane, due to the comb cutting of the damaged area with different geometry of the edges. The results of analytical research and factor experiments assessment of the strength of welded joints with different geometry of comb cutting, with one-sided welding, using different welding materials and varying welding modes. The results of metallographic research (on macro-grinds) of the obtained welded joints are given. Technologically effective parameters of comb cutting of cracks in ship plates are proposed for practical application in ship repair.

Рассматривается построение и анализ функций интерпретации моделей нестационарной динамики подводных объектов (ПО) новых поколений на основе функциональных пространств современной теории катастроф (СТК) [1] – [7]. Формальный аппарат концептуальных решений и принципов построения функций интерпретации реализован в нестационарной динамической среде в рамках принципа конкуренции. Процедуры функций интерпретации основаны на использовании различных моделей взаимодействия в зависимости от уровня действующих возмущений.

The construction and analysis of the interpretation functions of the models of unsteady dynamics of new generation an underwater vehicle (UV) based on the modern theory of disasters (STK) [1] - [7] are considered. The formal apparatus of conceptual solutions and principles of constructing interpretation functions is implemented in a non-stationary dynamic environment within the framework of the principle of competition. The procedures of the interpretation functions are based on the use of various interaction models depending on the level of acting disturbances. The uncertainty and incompleteness of the initial information on the dynamics of the interaction of underwater vehicles in a non-stationary environment determined the approach to constructing interpretation functions when constructing a mathematical description of the problems of non-stationary dynamics of underwater vehicles based on the concept of soft computing (Soft Computing) [7] and the identification of “hidden” knowledge (Data Mining) [1]. The developed models and algorithms for interpreting unsteady dynamics of submarines are implemented in the functional block for modeling a multifunctional software complex (MPC) for dynamic visualization of unsteady dynamics of underwater vehicles in emergency computing mode Urgent Computing [6].
9 The Point of Study Practices Is to Discover the Kind of Questions That We “Also” Should Ask
Authors: Vansieleghem Nancy
Published: December 2021

Abstract To develop an idea of study, a lead is taken on the work of the artist Mark Dion. Dion’s work, and more in particular his “Tate Thames Dig,” brings together many of the elements that fosters the coming into being of matters of study. By re-enacting
the 14th century cabinets of curiosity, Dion questions how modern science shape our current understanding of knowledge production. With his work, he causes an amazement for the ecology of things. At the same time he evokes a request for an entanglement between science and the world that signals
an exposure to the plurality of our present. By doing so, he calls into being a way of thinking about scientific practices as study practices. Not as isolated practices that aim at discovering new knowledge, but as collective practices that give something the power to affect and make a public
thinking.
11 Students Re-Discovering the University: Presence of Mind and Body
Authors: Masschelein Jan , Simons Maarten
Published: December 2021

Abstract The article starts from the observation of a rediscovery and reoccupation of the university that continues the history of smaller or bigger revolutionary movements establishing a universitas studii. The thesis is, first, that today’s de-identification
with screen work and the affirmation of the importance of places to study is about the willingness to realize a public and collective presence of mind. Second, we elaborate on the thesis that students today perhaps are not rediscovering on campus education in order to fulfill their need for
social life or social contact, but to answer the call of the university and its promise of a meaningful, contestable, experimental encounter with “something” that makes them study. Students as well as professors seem to prefer to be where something happens and as it happens, despite
the streaming or recordings being available. Today’s mediation by the screen transforms the lecture, seminar, or discussion into an image, which makes the student an outsider or spectator. Studying seems to not only involve a presence of mind but a simultaneous presence of body.
Creditor Classification Logistic Regression Ensemble Boosting And Logistic Regression In Creditor Classification With Binary Response

Published: December 2021

Credit risk is the risk that has the greatest opportunity to occur in banking. The number of bad loans will also affect bank performance. The banking sector needs to know whether a prospective creditor is classified as a risky person or not. The purpose of this study is to classify creditors and compare the classification results through logistic regression with the maximum likelihood model and the Boosting algorithm, especially the AdaBoost algorithm, and to select a model with the Boosting algorithm Credit Scoring aims to classify prospective creditor into two classes, namely good prospective creditor (Performing Loan) and bad prospective creditor (Non Performing Loan) based on certain characteristics. The method often used for classifying creditor is logistic regression, but this method is less robust and less accurate than data mining. Thus, there is a need for methods that provide greater accuracy. Among the methods that have been proposed is a method called Boosting, which operates sequentially by applying a classification algorithm to the reweighted version of the training data set. This study uses 5 datasets. The first dataset is secondary data originating from data on non-subsidized homeownership creditors of Bank X Malang City. While the other datasets are simulation data with many samples of 10, 500, and 1000. The results of this study indicate that ensemble boosting logistic regression is more suitable for describing binary response problems, especially creditor classification because it provides more accurate information. For high-dimensional data, which is represented by a sample size of 10, ensemble logistic regression is proven to be able to produce fairly accurate predictions with an accuracy rate of up to 80%, whereas in the logistic regression analysis the model raises N.A because many samples < many independent variables. The use of boosting is preferred because it focuses on problems that are misclassified and have a tendency to increase to higher accuracy.

Artikkeli käsittelee Suomen kutomotyöläisten kansainvälistä yhteistyötä 1920-luvulla sekä sitä, miten yhteistyö näkyi vuonna 1928 Hyvinkään lakon järjestelyissä ja jälkiselvittelyissä. Pääasiallisina lähteinä ovat Suomen Kutomateollisuustyöväen Liiton (SKTTL, per. 1906) arkistoaineistot ja järjestöjen omat julkaisut, kuten Kutomatyöläinen sekä liittoa lähellä ollut sosialidemokraattinen Kansan Lehti. Pohjoismainen kutomoteollisuuden edunvalvonta kehittyi ja voimistui 1920-luvulla. Yhteistyön vahvimpia ilmentymiä olivat tarkentuvat, sitoviksi muuttuvat yhteistyösopimukset, joissa liittojen jäsenet sitoutuivat myös merkittävään taloudelliseen tukeen. Jos tarkastellaan pohjoismaisen yhteistyön aktiivisia toimijoita, varsinaisesta ydinjoukosta erottuu ryhmä miehiä, joista osa oli mukana jo 1910-luvun taitteessa ja edelleen 1930-luvun alkaessa. Kussakin maassa oli omat pitkäaikaiset edustajansa.Kansainvälinen tuki konkretisoitui vuoden 1926 sopimuksen jälkeen ensin Norjan kutomotyöläisten ryhtyessä lakkoon ja sitten vuonna 1928 Hyvinkään kutomotyöläisten lakossa. Pohjoismaiset liitot olivat lakon tärkein rahoittaja. Vaikka Hyvinkään lakon tulokset jäivät toivottua niukemmiksi, pohjoismaista yhteistyötä kiiteltiin alan lehdessä, ja pohjoismaiset yhteistyökonferenssit jatkuivat seuraavinakin vuosina.
Neuvostourheilun nousu ja tuho

Venäjä oli yksi Kansainvälisen Olympiakomitean perustajajäsenistä vuonna 1894. Venäläiset osallistuivat Lontoon olympiakisoihin vuonna 1908 ja Tukholman kisoihin neljää vuotta myöhemmin. Vuoden 1917 sosialistinen vallankumous muutti koko valtion – mukaan luettuna urheilun käytännöt. Vuosina 1918–1921 käydyn verisen sisällissodan ja vuonna 1922 tapahtuneen Neuvostoliiton perustamisen jälkeen valtio pyrki organisoimaan uudelleen koko ruumiinkulttuurin. Neuvostoliittolaisessa ruumiinkulttuurissa ihannoitiin sotilaallista valmiutta, työkuntoisuutta ja urheilullisuutta.

Kilpaurheilun suosio kasvoi huomattavasti 1920-luvulla. Vuonna 1928 venäläiset organisoivat mahtavat urheilukisat, Moskovan spartakiadit. Kyseessä oli lukuisia urheilumuotoja käsittänyt työläistapahtuma vastapainoksi Amsterdamissa samana vuonna järjestetyille ”porvarillisille” olympiakisoille. Neuvostoliiton urheilijat osallistuivat kesäolympiakisoihin ensi kertaa Helsingissä vuonna 1952.

Olympiakisoissa Neuvostoliitto oli menestyksekäs. Vuosina 1952–1988 neuvostourheilijat saavuttivat 1 010 mitalia kesäkisoissa ja vastaavasti 194 mitalia vuosien 1956–1988 talvikisoissa. Neuvostoliiton hajoamisen jälkeen Venäjän urheilijat ovat kilpailleet Kansainvälisen Olympiakomitean lipun alla. Aiemmat neuvostotasavallat ovat osallistuneet kansainvälisiin urheilutapahtumiin itsenäisinä valtioina. Neuvostoliittolainen urheilujärjestelmä on kuitenkin vaikuttanut merkittävästi ei vain Venäjällä vaan myös monissa muissa uusista valtioista. Neuvostoliitossa urheilulla oli merkittävä sija opetusjärjestelmässä ja kansallisen itsetunnon rakentamisessa. Monet neuvostourheilun käytännöt ovat tiiviisti jatkaneet olemassaoloaan myös NL:n hajoamisen jälkeen.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de yabancı öğrenci statüsünde eğitim alan Suriyeli üniversite öğrencilerinin üniversite deneyimlerine ilişkin görüşlerini incelemektir. Araştırma, nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarından tekli durum deseni ile tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma grubu, bir devlet üniversitesinde eğitim gören 14 gönüllü Suriyeli üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmuştur. Çalışmanın verileri, yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada toplanan veriler, içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Veriler dört ana tema altında toplanmıştır: Suriyeli öğrencilere üniversite tarafından verilen destekler, deneyimlenen sorunlar, Suriyeli öğrencilerin üniversite bileşenleri ile ilişkileri, üniversiteye ilişkin önerileri. Elde edilen bulgulara göre katılımcı katılımcılar; üniversiteye uyum sürecinde dil sorunu ile karşılaşmakta, alanlarında bilgi eksikliği hissetmekte, Türk öğrencilerle kaynaşma sorunu yaşamakta ve konaklama konusunda ihtiyaçlarını gidermekte zorlanmaktadır. Katılımcılar, harç yatırmamaları dışında üniversiteden herhangi bir maddi destek almadıklarını belirtmiştir. Buna rağmen katılımcılar, toplumda tüm Suriyeli öğrencilerin devletten burs aldığı yönünde yanlış bir algının olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların, üniversitedeki diğer öğrencilerle, öğretim üyeleriyle ve öğrenci işleri çalışanlarıyla ilişkilerinde sorun yaşadıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Son olarak, çalışma grubunda yer alan öğrenciler üniversiteye uyum süreçlerine ve eğitim-öğretim olanaklarına ilişkin çeşitli önerilerde bulunmuştur.

Dünya’da meydana gelen savaş, kıtlık ve politik nedenler ile birçok coğrafyada göç hareketleri ve mültecilik toplumları etkileyen bir olgu haline gelmiştir. Göç alan ülkeler için mültecilerin topluma uyumunu sağlamak için onlara sunulacak eğitim hizmetlerinin planlanması oldukça önemlidir. Türkiye çevresindeki gelişmeler sonucunda son yıllarda önemli düzeyde mülteciye ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Okul çağında olan mülteci bireylere sunulan eğitim hizmetlerinin niteliğinin artması, henüz yeni sayılabilecek bu olgunun paydaşlar tarafından anlaşılması ile mümkün olabilecektir. Bu araştırmada paydaşların gözünden xxx’de yaşayan okul çağındaki mülteci öğrencilerin eğitim deneyimlerinin belirlenmesi ve buna yönelik öneriler geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma verileri dokuzu öğretmen, ikisi okul yöneticisi, üçü ebeveyn ve altısı öğrenci olmak üzere 19 katılımcıdan yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen tümevarım analizi sonucunda beş temaya ulaşılmıştır. Bulgular Suriyeli mülteci öğrencilerin davranış, sosyal ve akademik özellikler açısından sorun yaşadıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Öğretmenler ve okul müdürleri adrese dayalı okul kayıt sistemini mültecilerin mülteci olmayan akranlarıyla eğitim görmesi önünde bir engel olarak nitelendirmekte ve bu uygulamanın okuldaki mülteci öğrenci yoğunluğunu arttırarak eğitimin niteliği düşürdüğünü ifade etmektedirler. Mülteci öğrencilerin ebeveynleri ise genel olarak çocuklarına sunulan eğitimi yeterli bulmaktadırlar. Paydaşların mülteci eğitimine yönelik önerileri mülteci öğrencilere Türkçe öğretiminin gerçekleştirilmesi, psikolojik desteklerin sunulması, eğitim sunan öğretmenlerin mülteci eğitimine yönelik materyal ve seminerlerle desteklenmesi ve ebeveynlere yönelik aile eğitimi çalışmalarının gerçekleştirilmesi olarak sıralanabilir.
