LA EDUCABILIDAD UN PROCESO CONSTANTE EN CONSTRUCCIÓN PARA EL DESARROLLO HUMANO
Authors: Alberto Sarmiento Castro
Published: April 2024

El presente artículo de reflexión en su objetivo central, aborda un recorrido sobre las distintas problemáticas que aquejan a la acción educativa, el cómo el educador ha dejado de ser un agente difusor de la cultura, el encargado de reconocer y respetar la diversidad de las regiones, del entorno y/o su contexto, el protagonista para establecer un debate en el aula y convertirse así en un interlocutor que motive a la duda y la pregunta, para en muchos casos ser un transmisor o divulgador de conocimientos. Surge entonces, la educabilidad, como un proceso de construcción humana, que rompe con el paradigma: "uno sabe, el otro repite" y hacer de la escuela y especialmente de la Universidad -como formadora de formadores-, un escenario para que estudiantes y profesores a través del autoconcepto se constituya la base para aprender a vivir juntos, a trabajar en equipo y esencialmente se edifique un modelo integral de ser humano, capaz de transformar el mundo. El objetivo es buscar disertar sobre el papel que juegan los saberes (no solo el conocimiento), en la construcción de un ser humano que se forma, más allá de la individualidad de la información; entendiendo los hechos dentro de un proceso que se construye con otros para habitar un mundo más esperanzador y gestar la posibilidad de transformar. Es encontrar en los espacios educativos a una persona pensando en reconocer y potencializar sus niveles cognoscitivos, al mismo tiempo que mejora su interacción con otros (acto interior), haciéndose más humano, pues desarrolla en el conjunto de la acción, principios de socialización (normas y conductas), para actuar en un mundo complejo y cambiante, que lo obliga en su deber ser, a estimar un acto de sociabilización para la toma de decisiones y la resolución de sus   propios problemas.
ADAPTACIÓN DEL ENFOQUE STEAM PARA PROMOVER LAS VOCACIONES CIENTÍFICAS EN CONTEXTOS RURALES
Authors: Yury Tatiana Cárdenas Hernández
Published: April 2024

Desde las instituciones oficiales de educación secundaria es fundamental promover ambientes que brinden a los estudiantes, experiencia para fortalecer el interés por la ciencia y la continuidad en la formación académica. Atendiendo este propósito el presente artículo se consolida como una reseña de la Tesis Doctoral de la autora, desarrollada en una institución rural, la cual plantea promover las vocaciones científicas. Una estrategia para alcanzar dicho objetivo es la implementación del enfoque STEAM que surgió en Estados Unidos a mediados del siglo XX y en Colombia se adopta a través de políticas públicas y el Ministerio de Educación, con el fin de promover la ciencia, la tecnología, el arte y las matemáticas. Para los contextos rurales, su puesta en marcha se ve limitada por la poca e inestable conexión a internet, la escasa oferta de acceso a la educación superior y la falta de disponibilidad de espacios externos educativos. Por lo tanto, como resultado se propone una adaptación del enfoque STEAM, donde se pretende aprovechar las ventajas y bondades del sector rural, para propiciar una educación más contextualizada y que responda a las necesidades del sector y así mismo brinde alternativas laborales para los futuros egresados.
AULA INVERTIDA – FLIPPED CLASSROOM (FC) Y SUS IMPLICACIONES EN LA PRÁCTICA PEDAGÓGICA DE LA EDUCACIvÓN MEDIA TÉCNICA COLOMBIANA
Authors: Carolina Martínez Quintero
Published: April 2024

El proceso educativo ha estado en un constante cambio desde un tiempo hacia acá, donde los actores presentes en ese acto educativo han tenido que adaptarse al mismo. Sin embargo, las ultimas eventualidades presentadas en el mundo a causa de la pandemia, han demostrado una realidad muy poca alentadora desde los escenarios educativos, de manera muy particular el caso de la educación media técnica de Colombia, ya que aun cuando se impuso la tecnología como medio de enseñanza, prevalecen las practicas pedagógicas tradicionalistas, generando pasividad por parte de los estudiantes. De allí surge este ensayo con el objetivo de conocer las realidades sobre el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la educación media técnica de Colombia y cómo el aula invertida, al considerarla una estrategia didáctica en la práctica pedagógica, incide en el desempeño académico de los estudiantes. El recorrido epistémico metodológico fue la investigación cualitativa de tipo documental a través de la observación indirecta, siendo el análisis bibliográfico descriptivo la técnica que se utilizó para llevar a cabo los hallazgos de la investigación. Los hallazgos permitieron dilucidar la necesidad de generar un cambio de metodología pasiva hacia una metodología activa a través de la incorporación del aula invertida - Flipped Classroom (FC), gracias a la diversidad de posibilidades constructivas, formativas y las formas de interacción que provee esta estrategia didáctica sobre la práctica pedagógica, el desarrollo académico del estudiante, así como su vinculación con el contexto laboral donde se vinculará.

The analysis of digital images consists of the generation of dimensional data, such as width, length and area, or attributes, such as color and texture of a captured image, and their measurement by means of counting or frequency methods. The use of image analysis to evaluate the physiological quality of seeds has been considered an objective, economical and practical method. Thus, this work was carried out with the objective of comparing the results of the evaluation of the physiological quality of coffee seeds obtained in the germination tests with those obtained from the analysis of digitized images. Thirty-two lots of coffee seeds were used, which were submitted to conventional analysis and image analysis using the computer program WINFOLIA.® Although additional research is needed to confirm the results, it has been observed that the image analysis method can accurately provide the germination and vigor of coffee seeds in a more practical, economical and anticipated way than the conventional test.

Authors: Chien Stanley , Christopher Lauren , Chen Yaobin , Qiu Mei , Lin Wei
Published: April 2024

Vehicle weaving describes the vehicle lane changes in areas between consecutive merge and diverge ramp junctions. During heavy traffic, vehicle weaving will slow down traffic, cause congestion, and increase the possibility of crashes. It is desirable to automatically capture the weaving information using camera videos in the weaving areas. The currently existing weaving area analysis is very tedious and labor-intensive. This report describes a novel system that uses the videos simultaneously captured at the entry and exit of the weaving area to find the number and percentage of vehicles from each lane on the entry to each lane on the exit. The system provides a convenient user interface, uses AI techniques to detect vehicles from camera videos, uses vehicle motion to identify the lanes, tracks and matches the vehicles at the entry and exit in the lane level, and presents the weaving analysis result in a user-friendly Sankey diagram. Compared to the other existing weaving analysis methods, this system can reduce the human work hours by at least 90%.
Electronic and Optical Properties of Multilayer PtSe2
Authors: El Houda Safi Nour
Published: April 2024

Two-dimensional materials arouse ever greater interest in the scientific community due to their electronic and optical properties. Among these 2D materials, the 2D family of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offers great potential for applications in optoelectronics and nanotechnology. Of these TMD nanomaterials, platinum diselenide PtSe2 has been extensively studied since the successful synthesis of a PtSe2 monolayer in 2015. In this chapter, the multilayer PtSe2 is investigated with first-principle calculations. In order to calculate the optical properties of the system, we first determine its dielectric function. From this, we can extract other optical functions, such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient, and reflectivity. A good description of these properties can be enhanced by a detailed study of the material’s band structure.
Flocculation Dynamics of Cohesive Sediment in Turbulent Flows Using CFD-DEM Approach
Authors: Yu Xiao , Balachandar Sivaramakrishnan , Smith Jarrell , J. Manning Andrew
Published: April 2024

Two-phase computational fluid dynamics - discrete element method (CFD-DEM) framework has gained attention in cohesive sediment transport due to its capability of resolving particle-particle interactions and capturing the time evolution of individual flocs and hence the flocculation dynamics of cohesive sediment in turbulent flows. For cohesive sediments of size smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale, the point-particle approach is commonly used, in which the flow around particles is not fully resolved, and the hydrodynamic force on particles is parameterized by the drag law. The accuracy of floc dynamics, aggregation, breakup, and reshaping therefore strongly depends on force parameterization of individual point-particles that make up the floc. In this chapter, we review recent advances in the state-of-art two-phase CFD-DEM model approach on cohesive sediment transport and make recommendation for future research.

Published: April 2024

Background: Since December 2019, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the world, including neurologic manifestations among its effects. Additionally, some studies have reported the reactivation of various viruses in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the viral infection patterns of common viruses that cause encephalitis in patients diagnosed with the concurrence of multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and encephalitis. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2020 to May 2021. Children diagnosed with both MIS-C and encephalitis were included. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were collected from each participant for a biochemistry panel and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for varicella-zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), adenovirus, and influenza virus. Furthermore, patients underwent neuroimaging studies, including magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Results: Thirteen patients with MIS-C and encephalitis were enrolled. Viral detection in CSF samples through PCR assays was successful in six patients. EBV and HSV were detected in four and two patients, respectively. The median age of these six children was 44 months, with four being male. Follow-up visits after six months showed that their quality of life had returned to normal. Conclusions: This study highlighted the co-occurrence of HSV and EBV reactivation with MIS-C. Although viral reactivations, unlike primary infections, resolved spontaneously in our cohort. Consequently, the reactivation of viruses due to MIS-C may open new avenues for future research.

Leader of the criminal community as a subject of a crime provided for by Art. 210.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
Authors: Савицкий Р.А.
Published: April 2024

в статье исследуются основные моменты, касающиеся привлечения к уголовной ответственности лиц в порядке ст.210.1 УК РФ. Автор приходит к выводу, что введенная ст. 210.1 УК РФ проявила себя как востребованная правоприменителями норма, показав свою эффективность. На основе проведенного анализа автором устанавливается, что доказыванию по данной категории дел подлежит непосредственная принадлежность лица, как лидера, к многоуровневой структуре преступного сообщества, выстроенного по принципу соподчиненности. Кроме того, доказыванию подлежат не только наличие у такого лица криминального прошлого, но и совершение этим лицом, преступного умышленного действия, направленного на управление и координацию деятельности преступного сообщества при котором группа лиц такого сообщества договорилось о совершении преступного деяния. Определяя субъекта преступления, нужно учитывать, что у такого лица имелась возможность влияния на участников данной преступной организации посредством методов подчинения, оно осуществляло организационные функции, в том числе связанные с распределением между лицами, входящими в состав преступного сообщества, криминальных полномочий, а также осуществляло контроль за исполнением поручений членами преступного сообщества и проводило антиморальную и антисоциальную идеологию.

the article examines the main points concerning the prosecution of persons in accordance with Article 210.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the introduced Art. 210.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has proven itself to be a norm in demand by law enforcement officials, demonstrating its effectiveness. Based on the analysis carried out by the author, it is established that the direct affiliation of a person, as a leader, to the multi-level structure of a criminal community, built on the principle of subordination, is subject to proof in this category of cases. In addition, it is necessary to prove not only the presence of such a person’s criminal past, but also the commission by this person of a criminal intentional act aimed at managing and coordinating the activities of a criminal community in which a group of persons of such a community agreed to commit a criminal act. When determining the subject of a crime, it must be taken into account that such a person had the opportunity to influence the participants of a given criminal organization through methods of subordination, he exercised organizational functions, including those related to the distribution of criminal powers between persons included in the criminal community, and also exercised control over the execution of orders by members of the criminal community and pursued an anti-moral and anti-social ideology.

Published: April 2024

в 2023 году Президентом РФ был подписан Указ, согласно которому 2024 год объявлен Годом семьи. Он направлен на сохранение традиционных семейных ценностей и популяризацию государственной политики в сфере защиты семьи. Семья является залогом стабильности и процветания гражданского общества. Именно она формирует личность и закладывает основные фундаментальные ценности такие, как любовь, верность, уважение, взаимопонимание и поддержка. Особое значение в настоящее время в Российской Федерации приобретает вопрос судебной защиты прав и интересов ребенка при расторжении брака родителей, поскольку современная статистика показывает, что на 1 053 884 зарегистрированных браков приходится 683 111 разводов, что составляет примерно 65% от общего числа. Поэтому основной задачей в данном случае является защита интересов несовершеннолетних. Суд стремится к достижению наилучшего решения для ребенка, учитывая его потребности, возможности родителей и общие обстоятельства. Важно, чтобы дети чувствовали себя защищенными и получали необходимую заботу и поддержку со стороны обоих родителей. В данной статье рассматриваются вопросы о правах несовершеннолетних при расторжении брака родителей, которые являются наиболее актуальными в Российской Федерации.

in 2023, the President of the Russian Federation signed a decree according to which 2024 was declared the Year of the Family. It is aimed at preserving traditional family values and popularizing state policy in the field of family protection. The family is the key to the stability and prosperity of civil society. It is it who forms a personality and lays down the basic fundamental values such as love, loyalty, respect, mutual understanding and support. The issue of judicial protection of the rights and interests of a child during the dissolution of a parent's marriage is of particular importance at present in the Russian Federation, since modern statistics show that 683,111 divorces account for 1,053,884 registered marriages, which is approximately 65% of the total number. Therefore, the main task in this case is to protect the interests of minors. The Court strives to achieve the best solution for the child, taking into account his needs, the capabilities of the parents and the general circumstances. It is important that children feel protected and receive the necessary care and support from both parents. This article discusses the issues of the rights of minors in the dissolution of parental marriage, which are the most relevant in the Russian Federation.
Typology of phraseological models: based on the material of Russian, English and Kazakh phraseological units
Authors: Ергазина А.А.
Published: April 2024

фразеология, как научная дисциплина в области лингвистики, приобрела своё особое значение во второй половине ХХ века, под воздействием трудов выдающегося швейцарского лингвиста Шарля Балли (1865-1947). Несмотря на обширные исследования в этой сфере, многие аспекты остаются недостаточно исследованными, включая классификацию фразеологических конструкций. В статье говорится про разные виды фразовых моделей: рассматривается, как они устроены и как работают (это уровневая типология), другие ‒ как их использовать (это функциональная типология). Правила, по которым создаются, используются и понимаются фразы, это фразовая модель. Уровневая типология делится на одно- и двухплановые модели, учитывающие и форму, и смысл. А функциональная типология описывает, как создаются и понимаются фразы, их разновидности ‒ трансформационные и интерпретативные. В статье мы анализировали разнообразные фразеологические модели на русском, английском и казахском языках. В этой статье мы установили, что фразеологизмы имеют свою уникальную структуру и создаются по определенным образцам. Для исследования использовались полные фразеологические словари, содержащие выражения с такими частями человеческого тела как "живот", "бок", а также "нога", "пятка", "спина", "грудь" и "пальцы".

phraseology, as a scientific discipline in the field of linguistics, gained its particular significance in the second half of the 20th century under the influence of the works of the outstanding Swiss linguist Charles Bally (1865-1947). Despite extensive research in this area, many aspects remain insufficiently explored, including the classification of phraseological constructions. The article discusses various types of phraseological models: it examines how they are structured and how they function (this is the level typology), while others focus on how to use them (this is the functional typology). The rules governing the creation, usage, and understanding of phrases constitute the phraseological model. Level typology is divided into one- and two-level models, which take into account both form and meaning. Functional typology describes how phrases are created and understood, including their varieties – transformational and interpretative. In the article, we analyzed various phraseological models in Russian, English, and Kazakh languages. We established that phraseological units have their unique structure and are created according to specific patterns. For this research, complete phraseological dictionaries containing expressions with components such as "back", "chest", "stomach", "side", "leg", "heel", "fingers" were used.
Religion and Politics in the Anglican Rhetorical Tradition
Authors: Reed Joel Lansing ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This article contributes to the ongoing scholarly conversation on religious rhetoric in American politics by focusing on the role of Anglicanism in promoting political compromise. Using the rhetoric of former U.S. Senator and U.N. Ambassador John Danforth, this article suggests that the dominant theories of religion and politics have failed to consider the significant influence of mainline Protestantism in shaping public discourse in the United States. In doing so, the extant literature has established a false dichotomy between political compromise and sincere religious belief. By turning to questions of underlying virtue, scholars can better understand the significant role of various religious traditions in American politics and political compromise.
Restoration/ Rehabilitation of Prestige in Islamic Sharia and Afghan Statutory Laws
Authors: Hameedi Abdul Naseer
Published: April 2024

Aim: Human dignity or being human in term of his/her soul, property, honor, status need to be respected. Unfortunately, sometimes it has been witnessed that human being is confronting outrage, accusation, abuse, humiliation, etc., that affects their soul, property, honor and status. These all acts are considered illegal and prohibited in Holy Quran, Hadiths and Jurisprudence. If a person is exposed to such disgraceful activities, his/her status has to be rehabilitated and restored. Both material and intellectual remedies are suggested and approved by Law, that scholars know it as General Rehabilitation/ Restoration of Prestige.

Methods: The doctrinal research methodology and a descriptive, explanatory, and analytical research approaches were used in this study. It is worth mentioning that this study was entirely based on library sources. The sources are textbooks, scholarly published and unpublished journal articles, law reports, and online websites related to the research area.

Results: This study found that most of the Afghan academicians and legal scholars believe that if someone’s prestige is affected due to a crime committed by others or itself, in both situation one’s prestige has to be recovered. That Islamic law indicates it as repentance and remorse though substantive law suggest two ways i.e. statutory rehabilitation/restoration of prestige and judicial rehabilitation/restoration of prestige.

Conclusion: Human dignity and sympathy call for respecting others honor, prestige and privilege. If someone’s prestige and dignity is violated due to a cruel act, the perpetrator has to be convicted by court, that the victim’s prestige, privilege, and status is renovated and restored.

Recommendations: As many people in Afghanistan are illiterate and do not know the importance of restoration of prestige, the judges should declare the principle of both law and court-based rehabilitation with the time lapse within their verdict and criminals will know the importance in the future.

“TikTokers” Teacher In The Code Of Ethic For Teacher In Islamic Education
Authors: Lindra Afni , Aprison Wedra , Asi Redha Septia
Published: April 2024

In the digital era, teachers are not only educators in schools but can also work as TikTokers in the TikTok application or cyberspace. The success of TikTokers in earning a lot of money by creating various kinds of content has motivated teachers to become content creators. However, not all teachers are wise and careful when choosing content topics. Moreover, the content created by teachers is easily accessible to many people, including their students. The diverse range of content produced by teachers on the TikTok application can have an impact on the knowledge and character development of students and society as a whole. This is because the TikTok application is currently popular among people of all age groups, including children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly. Upon examining the content created by teachers, it is evident that some teachers are appropriate, careful, and wise in their content creation, while others are not. Therefore, this discussion aims to explore the phenomenon of teachers as TikTokers from the perspective of Islamic education, focusing on teachers' creative activities in cyberspace through the TikTok application. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing library research.

Seven-membered structure of the moon cycle and the “running spiral” ornament on Trypillian ceramics
Authors: Prychepii Yevhen
Published: April 2024

The examination of the semantics of ornaments of the Trypillian culture, in particular, the most common ornament, “running spiral”, is necessary for penetration into the spiritual world of the bearers of this culture. The purpose of the study is to show that the symbols of the “running spiral” ornament hide the seven-membered cycle of the moon. The following methodological approaches are used: a) deities are seen behind the symbols of the ornament, not things; b) the division of deities by gender is considered c) the structural method is used in the analysis of symbols. Eight- and seven-membered ornament structures that were identified as moon phases were reviewed. It was determined that the female and male deities are hidden behind the phases. It is shown that the ornament “running spiral” is a seven-membered structure, and the order of symbols (deities) coincides with structures in which there are no symbols of the “running spiral”. Individual symbols of the “running spiral” are considered, and it is determined that they denote certain phases (deities) of the moon’s cycle. It is concluded that the eight- and seven-membered structures of ornaments hide the Goddess who represented the moon. The conclusion and the methods by which it is obtained may be the key to further research of Trypillian ceramics ornaments. It opens the horizon for investigating the kinship of the Trypillian culture with other Eneolithic cultures and examining modern folk ornaments
Wives of Henry VIII: Historiography in the concepts of modern cinema
Authors: Rexhaj Elsajed , Xhelaj Blerina
Published: April 2024

The research relevance is determined by the variety of myths and legends formed around the historical personality of Henry VIII, which are not true, yet are repeated in the context of contemporary cinema. The study aims to analyse each of Henry VIII’s wives, using literature as a primary source, analyse modern cinema and attempt to introduce an innovative view of the historical situation in the history of the British monarchy. The artistic and stylistic method and the method of comparative analysis were used. Aside from the rapid change in the paradigm of personal life, the second monarch of the Tudor dynasty is also known for several significant reforms that were demonstrated only in a few films and TV series, and then in passing, leaving a bad impression of the English crown. Under the Tudors, England became the “mistress of the seas” and established the Anglican Church independent of the Pope, from a period of turmoil to stability. The work combines the embodied images with portraits of Henry VIII’s wives’ contemporaries, namely those of Hans Holbein the Younger. General information on the establishment of the English monarch, their origin, as well as the circumstances at court after the marriage, namely the death of the heirs to the throne, which, as recent studies have proved, was related to the health of the monarch, not his wives, was analysed. The study examines the external features, behavioural patterns, and influence on the internal politics of medieval England. The following films were analysed: “The Other Boleyn Girl” (2008, directed by Justin Chadwick), the TV series “The Tudors” (2007-2010, directed by Michael Hirst), “Henry VIII and His Six Wives” (2016, directed by Chris Holt), establishing that cinema does not accurately convey the era, the character and appearance of the girls. This study may be useful for researchers, history buffs, specialists in the Tudor dynasty, students of history and amateurs
Prospective research in the field of teaching creative skills to artificial intelligence
Authors: Macazana Fernández Dante Manuel
Published: April 2024

The research relevance is determined by the importance of a thorough study of methods, schemes and models used by artificial intelligence to mechanise creativity in modern conditions of active technological development. The study aims to analyse the main processes taking place in modern art in connection with active technologization of work processes, to identify the leading concepts regarding the possibility of creating machine art in the future, etc. The employed methods are theoretical, such as analysis, systematisation, generalisation, etc., for studying key problems and further development of creativity based on artificial intelligence. The study examines in detail the main developments of Artificial General Intelligence and Artificial Narrow Intelligence, in particular the achievements of Generative adversarial networks and Creative adversarial networks. Artificial intelligence-generated art demonstrates the remarkable capabilities of technologies. The evolving artificial intelligence in the arts introduces “digital art”. Generative Adversarial Networks are used as a foundational tool for artists who use digital methods and texture generation to create unique compositions. Furthermore, sculptors collaborate with artificial intelligence tools to convert drawings into 3D models or transform historical art databases into sculptures. Creative thinking, a hallmark of human intelligence, is determined as artificial intelligence’s ability to generate new and original ideas. The development of emotional intelligence in artificial intelligence enables empathetic responses and the identification of human emotions through voice and facial expressions. The issues of authorised internationality, awareness of the creative process, psychological foundations of artificial empathy and emotional intelligence define the prospects for the development of neuroscience. Challenges persist in defining creativity, authorship, and legal aspects of artificial intelligence-generated art. The study materials may be useful for artists, art educators, technologists, and researchers interested in the intersection of technology and art, legal professionals (especially intellectual property law), and individuals involved in artificial intelligence development may find these findings valuable
Military and political cooperation between Germany and Lithuania in the late 2010s to early 2020s
Authors: Trunov Philipp O.
Published: April 2024

Since the mid-2010s, Germany has significantly adjusted its approaches to the use of the Bundeswehr, pivoting its strategic focus from regions distant from the Euro-Atlantic community to those within or near it. This has underscored the pressing need to address issues related to securing steadfast allies in Eastern Europe and enhancing cooperation with them. This article aims to explore the current evolution of German-Lithuanian re­lations in both political and military domains. The approach of Germany to the factor of historical memory is demonstrated, along with its aspiration to position itself as the defender of Lithuanian national sovereignty. Yet, there was a notable lack of strategic focus from Germany towards Lithuania in the early 21st century, contributing to a decline in bilateral relations in 2014 and 2015. Amid the confrontation between the ‘Western democracies’ and Russia, Germany adopted a strategy of gradually but steadily increasing pressure on the opponent. The perception of this approach by Lithuanian elites has shifted from negative in the mid-2010s to increasingly positive as Germany has become more involved in deterrence of Russia. This article explores the process of the Bundeswehr troops’ deployment and buildup up to having constituted the ‘core’ of a multinational brigade in Lithuania under NATO’s mandate. The study focuses on the im­pact of military cooperation on political collaborations, as illustrated by the case of the B3 + 1 format, which has brought together high-ranking public officials from the three Baltic states and Germany since 2018. It is concluded that Germany has developed a dependence on Lithuania, driven by the increased desire of the former state to maintain the latter as a reliable junior partner.
University performance and regional develop­ment: the case of Russia’s North-West
Authors: Kotomina Olga V. , Tretiakova Elena A.
Published: April 2024

The role of universities in regional socio-economic systems is pivotal. However, despite the overall trend of GRP growth, regions of Russia’s Northwestern Federal District underperform on education-related measures. These include the share of education in GRP, the percentage of individuals employed in the education sector and the number of universities and students. These trends pose a substantial challenge to regional development, especially in the context of the fourth industrial revolution and the rise of the knowledge economy. The lack of attention to the education sector may stem from the gross underestimation of its contribution to regional development. By implementing their ‘third mission’, universities exert influence on the economy, politics and socially responsible industries in their home region. A better understanding of the role of universities in regional development requires a comprehensive evaluation of their performance. This study aims to evaluate the performance of regional universities and examine its impact on regional socio-economic indicators. The paper proposes a methodology for evaluating the performance of regional universities and presents the results of its application in the regions of Russia’s Northwestern Federal District. The universities of the Arkhangelsk region and St Petersburg demonstrated the highest performance levels, whilst those of the Leningrad region were the lowest. Correlation analysis showed a significant connection between universities’ performance levels and the key socio-economic indicators of regional development. Universities’ performance levels vary significantly across Russia’s Northwestern regions. The findings may interest researchers studying regional development issues and administrators of universities prioritising the implementation of the third mission. Additionally, the results can inform decisions regarding the advancement of higher education at the regional level within the Northwestern Federal District.
