Published: May 2019

Court interpreter plays a specific and important role, which is often underestimated in criminal proceedings. One of human rights’ aspects deals with ensuring a high-quality translation in order to make the procedure available for a person, who does not understand the proceedings language, ensure one’s rights and administer justice. The aim of the study is to find out the legal ground of court interpreter’s activity in criminal proceedings, to reveal and analyse related issues. In the article, the authors reveal topical issues linked to legal regulation concerning court interpreters and offer solutions. Namely, to ensure efficiency of court interpreter’s work, a judge should create as beneficial working conditions for an interpreter as possible, make breaks every 2 hours during court hearings, speakers (judges, prosecutors, lawyers, specialists, experts) should be trained in the field of public speech and how to work with an interpreter as well as court rooms should be ensured with modern interpreting equipment. In order to introduce single practice and deliver highquality translations in Latvian courts, there is a need in development of training and certification system for court interpreters and a special normative act regulating the legal activity of court interpreters, what would be a good basis for elaboration of court interpreters’ register.
NATURE AND FORMS OF REALIZATION OF LEGAL LIABILITY
Authors: Baikovs Aleksandrs
Published: May 2019

The article focuses on the research of one of the fundamental institutions of law – legal liability, the role and importance of which in the current period of formation of the rule of law in Latvia is constantly increasing. However, many issues of legal liability are still under discussion. In recent years the problem of liability mainly out of legal problem, turned into a problem of interdisciplinary nature. The generic notion, in relation to legal liability, is social responsibility. The evolution of views on the nature of legal liability has resulted in the emergence of the concept of positive legal liability. The initial methodological premise of the research of legal liability is to address to the issue of social responsibility, since the general characteristics and forms of realization inherent in social responsibility, inevitably find their expression both: in legal responsibility and its individual types. Traditionally, legal liability is limited by its interpretation as liability for the past, i.e. negative liability. At the same time, attention is drawn to the diversity of views and interpretations of supporters of this approach. However, in recent decades, there has been a growing body of research on positive (prospective) responsibility, whose proponents are also diverse. Moreover, in science it is suggested, that responsibility can be extremely positive, along with which, the protection of violated subjective rights and interests protected by law, is provided by measures of state coercion. http://dx.doi.org/10.17770/acj.v4i85.4015 Legal liability is considered in the article as an holistic phenomenon, dialectical unity of responsibility for past actions (retrospective responsibility) and responsibility for present and future behavior (positive, prospective responsibility), which develops and is implemented in a voluntary or compulsory form in regulatory legal relations. Legal liability is characterized by a number of specific features. Among them: (1) legal liability is based on legal norms, that give it certainty and general compulsion; (2) state guarantee; (3) provision of state coercion or persuasion; (4) legal liability as a necessary consequence has the approval or conviction, encouragement or punishment; (5) legal liability is implemented in the procedural form, provided for by law; (6) essentially, legal liability is a uniform, but it is exercised in two different forms. The theories and concepts of legal liability, presented in the scientific literature were critically analyzed in the article and on this basis its concept is being formulated, the specific features inherent in legal liability are being identified, its unity and the presence of various forms of implementation are being alleged.

IMPROVING THE PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS - PHILOLOGISTS IN THE LEXICOGRAPHICAL WORKSHOP
Authors: Nikitina Tatiana , Rogaleva Elena
Published: May 2019

The article presents the concept of improving the professional competence of students-philologists within the framework of lexicographical workshop. The potential of dictionaries as a means of forming professional competence of students-philologists, in our opinion, is not fully realized in the practice of University teaching of linguistic disciplines. Dictionary materials as a linguistic and methodological resource are used mainly in the formation and improvement of "user" skills in the field of lexicography. Students are rarely involved in the compilation of vocabulary materials. The novelty of our concept is that we offer a comprehensive improvement of professional competence of the student-philologist on lexicographical material, and not only the skills of using dictionaries. The purpose of our study, implemented on the basis of Pskov University, was to substantiate this concept, to implement it in the framework of experimental training of students-philologists, to conduct a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results of the experiment. This article presents the theoretical foundations of the concept, shows the specific methods of formation of various components of linguistic and cultural competence of students on lexicographical material. The results of experimental training, which are also given in the article, showed a significant increase in the level of professional competence of students, and thus confirmed the effectiveness of the developed model of lexicographic workshop.

Published: May 2019

Internationalization of universities is one of the most important processes which development can be observed in the first decade of the 21st century. This process existed all over the world  for many years, and it always was one of the engines which stimulated development of research as well as education. Many European countries entered the international market of higher education just about 30 years ago when some European projectsstarted. It boomed especially after the enlargement of EU in 2004 and participation of many countries in the creation of EHEA and ERA. However, despite many activities and programmes performed, the level of internationalization of higher education institutions in Poland is still disappointing. Effective methods of increasing internationalization of HEIs should therefore be sought. The paper presents an approach to the intensification of the internationalization process. The main goals for the activities in this field were determined. The current state of existing programs of international exchange available for students and some other activities as summer schools, double diploma programmes, foreign language courses and international accreditations were also discussed. Current national and university programmes aiming in intensification of development of the international exchange were also described. Among operational goals of these strategies the following needs were indicated: increasing attractiveness of different universities as partners in international educational and research fields; giving international character for educational and research activities; improving the image of European higher education.

MEDICAL STUDENTS' PREPARATION FOR ANALYSIS OF STUDY MATERIALS IN THE CHEMICAL COURSE
Authors: Kazuša Irina
Published: May 2019

The ability to reproduce and assess the content of the text and its argumentation is the most important competence in any profession. Medical students’ systematic approach to information analysis based on evidence-based medical principles can be already developed at the beginning of the study process in the theoretical courses. The goal of this research is to analyse the effectiveness of a didactic model that is based on critical thinking principles and includes a wide range of approaches to working with information. Learning by memorization has become dominant for medical students in Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU). The goal of the chemistry course is to shift the emphasis from fact memorization to knowledge construction, thus significantly changing students’ analytic abilities. The chemistry course not only creates the conditions for understanding content but also improves skills in various methods of acquiring knowledge. When new knowledge is being constructed students learn methods for organizing and structuring information and each student has an opportunity to choose the appropriate amount of information and participation level. Study material is being analyzed sequentially from the simplest to the most complex i.e. by starting with elementary calculations and moving to integrate information from different disciplines. Didactic model based on critical thinking principles underpins "logical steps" and requirements (fact recognition, analysis, and interpretation, recognition of fallacies and concepts, the perfection of reasoning algorithms, interdisciplinary connections) orient students to critically evaluate information while searching for problem solutions. The results obtained in student surveys and final tests prove that the created model, which is based on critical thinking principles, ensures successful mastering of the chemistry course to students with any level of prior knowledge.

Published: May 2019

The Mathematics study course is one of the core subjects in study programs of Technical Universities. To acquire this course successfully it is necessary to have mathematics background of sufficiently high quality. The authors of this paper recognize the difficulties first year students face due of their insufficient mathematical knowledge.Today, universities emphasize independent study work by students and allocate special time slots for this. To be successful, students need to plan their study time, use appropriate learning methods, and have motivation. Because of the significance of students’ individual work, a questionnaire was developed to research how students plan their time and activities for learning mathematics. The authors selected three focus groups of first year students at Riga Technical University (RTU), Latvian Maritime Academy (LMA), and University of Latvia (UL) to collect the data. The comparative analysis of data showed how students use the time slots allocated by institutions. The UL and RTU students on average do not fulfil this time completely, while the LMA students spend more time for learning mathematics. Students highly value individual consultations with teachers; they actively communicate with study mates to solve homework assignments; and students use information technologies in the study process.
