Building Resilience: An Intervention to Enrich Positive Outcome in Personality Traits amongst Students
Authors: Wangchuk Dorji
Published: June 2021

The universal call for education in the 21st century gears towards cultivating personal traits of students who are resilient in navigating through life successfully. Thus, resilience building must be initiated in the learning institutions across the country for a better world. Resilience building enriches the personality traits and creates a wholesome individual who can in turn create a better world to be in. This study explored the impact of resilience building on academic performance and development of the personality traits in the young minds of Khasdrapchu MSS, Thimphu, based on five factor model of personality. The sample students were selected using need assessment and screening tools. The vulnerable students were prioritized to be intervened with resilience building program. 37 students from classes VII to X were selected employing purposive sampling technique. The methodology incorporated was quantitative approach. The research design chosen was pretest and post-test. In addition to a structured, self-administered questionnaire, the mid-term and annual examination results were included. Descriptive analysis was carried out to describe and summarize the raw data. Statistical techniques such as mean and standard deviation were used to infer correlation amongst the variables in the study. The inferential statistics results indicated that there was a positive correlation between resilience building and personality traits. This was supported by an increase in mean and standard deviation in the posttest after the intervention was provided. The academic performance of the students heightened after the intervention. It can be concluded that building resilience in students have positive outcomes on their personality traits and as well on their academic performance. Thus, the learning institutions must consider resilience building programs as interventions to help young people navigate through life well.
Review on the Implementation and Localization of TBLT in China
Authors: Zheng Wensha
Published: June 2021

Task-based language teaching approach is a popular and powerful teaching approach in foreign language teaching. However, the researches in its application and localization are rare. This article takes teachers’ and students’ perspectives as study object, trying to find out their different or identical views about TBLT. What’ more, the advice towards the mismatches is beneficial to the later study of TBLT in China. Researches find that teachers’ belief in FLT are not consistent to TBLT, and they have low confidence in implementing it. Students hold more positive views about TBLT, and they become more confident after a semester’s learning. Advice suggest that more teacher training is needed, and it is important for teachers to interact with students both in class and out of class.

The paper presents the results of a study aimed at examining the ability and level of writing proficiency in students with disabilities at primary school age. The sample consisted of 58 students with disabilities of primary school age. Dysgraphic Prediction Test and Lilien Lirs graphomotor array were used to assess visual perception and graphomotor skills, while the handwriting was evaluated by the Scale for Assessment of Dysgraphic Forms in handwriting. The obtained results show that a large number of subjects (24 or 41,4%) did not score a single point on Dysgraphic Prediction Test, while only 21 subjects (36,2%) successfully completed the test (M = 7,98, SD = 7,062). Also, the obtained results show that the highest number of respondents (39 or 67,2%) did not score a single point on the Lilian Lirs test, while only 10 respondents or 17,2% successfully completed the test (M = 1,60, SD = 2,46). Using the Scale for the Assessment of Dysgraphic Forms in handwriting, we found that out of 22 written samples, 9 students (41%) have a well-developed handwriting, 8 (36%) have an ugly handwriting, 3 (14%) respondents have dysgraphic handwriting, while 2 (9%) respondents have a pronounced dysgraphic handwriting. Out of the total number of respondents, 36 (62%) of the sample students could not write the appropriate text on the basis of which the sample of the handwriting was taken. The obtained results provide the exact knowledge of the presence of difficulties in adopting writing by students with disabilities.Teaching students with disabilities, according to the results obtained, imperatively imposes the need to respect the developmental characteristics of this population of students and the individualization of the initial teaching of writing. This involves major changes to the standards and outcomes of achievements required by the regular curriculum and the development of an IOP for each student with more complex individualized contents to support the child in order to adopt writing. However, effective work with this student population also entails the need to adopt special curricula intended for teaching in schools for students with disabilities.

Authors: Mitrović Milica , Opsenica Kostić Jelena , Panić Damjana
Published: June 2021

Infertility is a medical problem, but it can have significant consequences for mental health. Emotional problems caused by infertility are very common, so infertility can be called a life crisis. Therefore, it is very important to identify protective and risk factors that would determine the psychological adjustment to infertility. The aim of this study was to examine the differences in perceived social support, relationship satisfaction, and positive and negative affect between women undergoing IVF treatment and women who do not have fertility problems. The research also aims to examine whether perceived social support and relationship satisfaction were significant predictors of positive and negative affect in both groups. The study included 292 women – 163 who were undergoing the IVF treatment at the time of assessment and 129 without fertility problems who made up the control group. The following instruments were applied: the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Relationship Satisfaction Scale, and the Serbian Inventory of Affect based on PANAS. The results show statistically significant differences between the examined groups in the level of negative affect, which is more pronounced in the group of women undergoing IVF treatment. Regarding positive affect, there is a trend of a more frequent experience of positive emotions in the women from the control group. Perceived social support and relationship satisfaction are significant predictors of both positive and negative affect for the women undergoing IVF treatment. As for the control group, the results of the regression analysis show that perceived social support and relationship satisfaction are significant predictors of negative affect, while in the case of positive affect, relationship satisfaction stands out as a significant predictor. The results indicate that perceived social support and relationship satisfaction can be important protective factors when it comes to psychological adjustment to infertility, which can serve as a guideline for mental health professionals who work with infertile couples.
FORMULAIC LANGUAGE IN AERONAUTICAL ENGLISH – FRIEND OR FOE
Authors: Katsarska Vanya
Published: June 2021

The paper discusses formulaic language, its classification, function, and its role in Aeronautical English. On the one hand, using idiomatic expressions in aviation communication may lead to ambiguity, confusion and communication breakdown. On the other hand, teaching formulaic expressions to student pilots and air-traffic controllers can have positive effect on their fluency and help them develop their interactive communicative skills. Despite the fact that research on formulaic language acquisition has been modest, the paper suggests that it should be incorporated in an aeronautical English syllabus.
AN ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF LANGUAGE SKILLS AND VOCABULARY KNOWLEDGE IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: THE CASE FOR SPORTS MANAGEMENT
Authors: Omrčen Darija
Published: June 2021

The assessed importance of each of the four basic language skills in a foreign language varies, and the relationship between a person’s knowledge of vocabulary and the four macro language skills is highly elaborate in a foreign language of a particular profession, i.e. domain. In addition to the vocabulary in general language, a person must also master the knowledge of concepts that form the theoretical basis of the profession in question as well as the terms assigned to these concepts, first in one’s native language and then in the foreign one. The first aim of the research in this paper was to determine how respondents assessed the import of each sub-skill within the four groups of basic language skills – reading, writing, listening and speaking on the one hand, and on the other to determine the weight of knowledge of sports management-specific terminology in a foreign language for working in sports management in the Republic of Croatia. The second objective was to establish, also in the context of sports management, the correlation between the estimated importance of each of the four language skills and the estimated importance of the knowledge of sports management-specific vocabulary. The sample consisted of 70 students (men: n = 44; women: n = 26) of the fourth and fifth study years at the Faculty of Kinesiology, the University of Zagreb. The students filled out a questionnaire consisting of 58 items. They rated the relevance of all the sub-skills within the four basic language skills with the highest ratings. As for the order of skills given their criticality, the results indicated that the subjects considered reading skills as the most important, followed by listening, speaking and finally writing. The respondents also assessed the significance of the command of sports management-specific vocabulary with the highest rating. However, contrary to expectations, the analysis pointed to a low or only marginally moderate correlation between the assessed merit of each of the four language skills and the assessed weight of knowledge of the sports management-specific vocabulary.
CORONAVIRUS DISCOURSE OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE GUISE OF REASSURANCE: WE STAND TOGETHER ONLY WHEN WE DO NOT STAND APART
Authors: Babić Željka , Muhić Emir , Tica Dijana
Published: June 2021

The novel coronavirus communicative modalities are ever-emergent and infinitely adaptable systems of the new normal state of mind and play. By focusing on specificities found in the corpus extracted from three leading Bosnian and Herzegovinian (B&H) newspapers, the paper attempts to merge the predominant theoretical insight into a mixture of conceptual and critical theories of language. The focus of the paper is two-fold. The first one is targeted at testing the extracted theoretical posits on the linguistic corpora. The second aims at challenging the notions of togetherness and separateness in the B&H society by mirroring them through the prism of Covid-19 newspaper reports. The results of the corpus analysis suggest that it is still possible to draw a line between the notions in accordance with the specific geographical regions from which the data are drawn.

USING LITERARY TEXTS IN NORWEGIAN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Authors: Piršl Danica , Piršl Tea
Published: June 2021

The use of literary texts in teaching language has varied from the strict focus on translation and essential grammar and vocabulary lists derived from the text to the more creative uses like acting, writing and debating. Nowadays, communicative language approach prevails in most classrooms and insists on immersing students into both the target language and culture. In this paper, the author argues that to accomplish this, one can use literary texts in a number of ways and help the students learn, practice and master various language skills, while at the same time relating the texts to the students' interests, goals and lived experiences and help them relate to the society whose language they are learning. Literature is presented as a great source of authentic material that can contribute to students' language enrichment and cultural awareness. According to the data obtained from the research conducted for the purpose of this paper, students learning the Norwegian language by extensive use of literature reported better understanding of the target culture, raised awareness of the different cultural patterns and improved language skills. The pedagogical implications of the research are that more authentic literary texts should be used in language classroom to boost successful language acquisition.
AGRICULTURAL INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE IN SERBIA
Authors: Ćuzović Đorđe , Sokolov-Mladenović Svetlana
Published: June 2021

Intra-industrial trade is the exchange of products between countries in the same sector of the economy. A significant part of export and import in goods takes place within the same sector of the economy. This paper analyzes the intra-industrial trade in agricultural products of Serbia and its foreign trade partners from 2004 to 2018. The Grubel-Lloyd intra-industrial trade index was used as a measure. The value of GLI in agricultural products increased over the observed period, ranging from 0.485 to 0.590 as in 2018, while the number of IIT-dominated groups ranged from 26 to 35. The results obtained indicate that vertical IIT is more prevalent than horizontal IIT and that the export of products with lower prices dominates, i. e. those that are, according to the assumptions of the model, of lower quality than the imported products. Dynamic change analysis shows that certain changes in the IIT pattern occur over time, but that changes are gradual without sudden peaks in the IIT structure.

Published: June 2021

Introducción: La comunicación entre enfermero y paciente que se encuentra en unidades críticas con compromiso vital está limitada por la sedación, ventilación mecánica, y presencia de tubo endotraqueal, interfiriendo en la entrega de cuidados. Objetivo: analizar en la literatura científica publicada cómo se efectúa la comunicación entre el paciente adulto críticamente enfermo y profesionales de enfermería. Metodología: Revisión integrativa de diversas bases de datos. En el análisis crítico, 13 artículos cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Como criterio de exclusión se consideraron los artículos desarrollados en usuarios pediátricos y otros servicios de hospitalización. Resultados: de la revisión surgieron tres temáticas, a) Métodos de comunicación paciente crítico-enfermero b) Percepción del paciente sobre la comunicación enfermero-paciente c) Factores limitantes en la comunicación enfermero- paciente crítico. Conclusiones: Se concluye que las actividades asistenciales de enfermería en estas unidades se centran casi en su totalidad en acciones biomédicas, relegando a un segundo plano aspectos emocionales. Existe una necesidad de desarrollar habilidades de comunicación para garantizar que todo enfermero que trabaja con pacientes críticamente enfermos, sean capaces de generar una comunicación efectiva con el paciente y su entorno, actuando como agentes de cambio para fortalecer el cuidado de manera holística y humanizada.

Community: The Heart of Family Medicine
Authors: Wheat Santina
Published: June 2021

Family physicians have the privilege of caring for patients throughout their lifespan and witness the impact all facets of life have on the health of individuals and the health of communities. The importance of engaging the community in the success of population-based initiatives to drive social change has been proven repeatedly and family medicine residencies should include community as the fifth “C.” At a minimum, this includes incorporating the following three recommendations: (1) define community on initial accreditation, at self-study, and whenever major community changes occur; (2) utilize a community needs assessment as part of goal setting of activities with Annual Action Plan; and (3) evaluate residents and faculty on understanding of and cooperation with community needs. We must highlight engagement with the community as a central aspect of family medicine so that all programs focus on this important aspect of our work.

Published: June 2021

The background of this study is mathematics learning outcomes of junior high school students in agricultural areas are still low because they are less motivated to learn mathematics, so that is has an impact on their low learning outcomes. This study aims to find the relationship between musical intelligence and the enhancement of mathematical connection ability by applying Ethnomathematics and the Mozart Effect for increasing students’ motivation to learn mathematics. This study used a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design in grade 7 students at SMPN Bojongsoang 1, Kabupaten Bandung. The instruments used were the test of mathematical connection ability, musical intelligence questionnaire, and observation sheets. The results showed that: (1) there were differences in mathematical connection ability of students who received Ethnomathematics and the Mozart Effect learning with students who received direct learning; (2) musical intelligence has a positive impact on the enhancement of students' mathematical connection ability; and (3) students have a positive attitude towards learning with application of Ethnomathematics and the Mozart Effect, and more motivated to learn mathematics. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between musical intelligence and the enhancement of mathematical connection ability, and students are more motivated to learn mathematics. Implication of this research for future research and learning practice is that students' mathematical connection ability can be explored and improved in various ways, one of which is by applying Ethnomathematics and the Mozart Effect in mathematics learning, and can be influenced by many things, one of them is musical intelligence. Therefore, in future research, it would be recommended to study the relationship between musical intelligence and the enhancement of other mathematical abilities using Ethnomathematics and the Mozart Effect.

El óxido de zinc es un catalizador útil y reciclable. En este estudio, las fibras de fique se modificaron con nanopartículas de óxido de zinc (ZnO) para eliminar el color de las soluciones de índigo carmín (IC). Las nanopartículas de ZnO se sintetizaron por método de precipitación y las fibras se modificaron ex situ e in situ. Las fibras y las nanopartículas se caracterizaron utilizando diferentes técnicas como difracción de rayos X (DRX), espectroscopia infrarroja por transformada de Fourier (FTIR), espectroscopía de luz visible (UV-vis) y microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB). La velocidad de eliminación del color se controló usando un espectrofotómetro UV/Vis. Se obtuvieron nanopartículas con un diámetro medio en la nanoescala y una estructura hexagonal típica, y se depositaron efectivamente en las fibras. La mayor eliminación de color se obtuvo con las fibras ex situ (ZnO-Ex / fique) fue de 90% en 180 minutos. La eliminación del color por fibras in situ (ZnO-In / fique) fue del 70% después de 180 min. A partir de los resultados, las nanopartículas de ZnO pueden ser un excelente catalizador para la eliminación de soluciones acuosas de colorante IC bajo luz UV-C

Internal and external auditors responsibilities and relationships with audit committees in two English public sector settings
Authors: Hegazy Karim , Stafford Anne
Published: June 2021

This paper assesses the job of scrutiny and oversight in public services by examining the role of the internal auditor (IA) and external auditor (EA) and their relationship with the audit committee (AC) in two distinct English public sector environments. The research uses an exploratory qualitative case study approach based on semi-structured interviews, AC meeting observations, and documentation reviews. The study acts as a starting point to examine the effectiveness of governance arrangements during a period of change in the UK public sector. The research provides evidence of good triangulation between the work of the IA, EA, and AC. Nevertheless, having close interaction between EAs and ACs and a crossing over in terms of responsibilities may lead to a conflict of interest and raises serious doubts about the independence and objectivity of the EA. This needs to be closely monitored over the coming years. Due to the diversity and wider and more complex accountability relationships and intricacies found in public sector organisations the study highlights the need to consider additional factors to the analysis of simple principal agency theory assumptions. The research further provides evidence on the existence of loosely coupled CG structures within the roles of the EA and IA within local government. This is one of the few papers which explores the IA and EA roles and their relationship with the AC in an organisational and institutional setting different from the private sector

Published: June 2021

The integration of biodiversity conservation and public health has
gained significant traction, leading to new efforts to identify win-win
solutions for sustainable development and health. At the forefront of
these efforts is pinpointing ways that biodiversity conservation can
reduce risk of zoonotic spillover, especially given the consequences of
pandemics and epidemics of wild animal origin. However, there is
currently an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms by which
biodiversity change influences the spillover process, limiting the
application of integrated strategies aimed at achieving positive
outcomes for both conservation and disease management. One limitation
has been a narrow focus on the relationship between infectious disease
and species richness only, thus missing other relevant dimensions of
biodiversity. Here, we review the literature, considering a broad scope
of biodiversity definitions, to identify cases where zoonotic pathogen
spillover is mechanistically linked to changes in biodiversity.
Extending biodiversity to include other dimensions of it, such as
functional diversity, landscape diversity, spatiotemporal diversity, and
interaction diversity, allows us to identify potential relationships
between biodiversity change and zoonotic spillover. By reframing the
discussion of biodiversity and disease using mechanistic evidence while
encompassing multiple dimensions of biodiversity, we work toward general
principles that can guide future research and more effectively integrate
the related goals of biodiversity conservation and spillover prevention.

ALUNOS INDÍGENAS NA UNIVERSIDADE: o que mudou nas práticas curriculares do professor do ensino superior?
Authors: Vidal Ferreira Maria Antonia , De Vasconcelos Soares Lucas , Soares Castro Taciara
Published: June 2021

O estudo visa analisar as percepções docentes sobre a inserção de estudantes indígenas no ensino superior e principais mudanças nas suas práticas curriculares, averiguando a existência de políticas de ações afirmativas e sua implementação nas ações cotidianas do processo ensino-aprendizagem. Para tanto, utiliza-se, como lócus de reflexão, o contexto da Universidade Federal do Oeste do Pará (Ufopa). As discussões são fruto de uma pesquisa, contemplando, além do levantamento bibliográfico, a análise documental e aplicação de questionários semiestruturados a 35 docentes atuantes no ensino superior, somando-se as experiências acumuladas em outras etapas do projeto. Dos resultados obtidos, destacam-se importantes desafios postos ao trabalho docente, como: necessidade de compreender as normas da língua portuguesa pelos indígenas; capacidade de intervir (dos professores) em situações de discriminação visíveis em sala de aula; falta de interesse dos alunos; desprezo pelas regras e acordos acadêmicos, como a não realização de avaliações e atividades nos prazos estabelecidos. Em síntese, verificou-se que a Ufopa instituiu sua política de ações afirmativas e de promoção da igualdade étnico-racial, embora nem todos os docentes a conheçam plenamente, enfraquecendo a materialidade dos processos. Assim, visando superar os dilemas nas práticas curriculares, os docentes apontam: a criação de materiais específicos na língua indígena; oferta obrigatória de cursos de língua portuguesa ao longo da formação; e a inserção de questões indígenas (saberes, territórios, etc.) no currículo, como possibilidades de diálogo intercultural e interepistêmico.

Published: June 2021

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have found great appeal and popularity among researchers, especially in the field of monitoring and surveillance tasks. However, it has become a challenging issue due to the need to balance different optimization criteria such as power consumption, packet loss rate, and network lifetime, and coverage. The novelty of this research discusses the applications, structures, challenges, and issues we face in designing WSNs. And proposed new Topology control mechanisms it will focus more on building a reliable and energy efficient network topology step by step through defining available amount of energy for each node within its cluster, sorting all within header, and selecting an active one (more power header) for signal routing. While sensor cover topology demonstrates network monitoring capability, connection topology should remain as a requirement for the successful delivery of information including queries, data collected, and control messages. How to build an optimized coating topology while remaining efficient and low-cost connection is not well understood and needs further research. Power control and power management are two different types of topology controllers. Also in our study, we examine network lifetime, compared to other schemas time of death of the first node and the last node, and found that network lifetime was increased. Finally, a topology control method for extending network lifetime is presented.

The relevance internet users assign to algorithmic-selection applications in everyday life
Authors: Reiss Michael , Festic Noemi , Latzer Michael , Rüedy Tanja
Published: June 2021

The rapidly growing academic and public attention to algorithmic-selection applications such as search engines and social media is indicative of their alleged great social relevance and impact on daily life in digital societies. To substantiate these claims, this paper investigates the hitherto little explored subjective relevance that Internet users assign to algorithmic-selection applications in everyday life. A representative online survey of Internet users comparatively reveals the relevance that users ascribe to algorithmic-selection applications and to their online and offline alternatives in five selected life domains: political and social orientation, entertainment, commercial transactions, socializing and health. The results show that people assign a relatively low relevance to algorithmic-selection applications compared to offline alternatives across the five life domains. The findings vary greatly by age and education. Altogether, such outcomes complement and qualify assessments of the social impact of algorithms that are primarily and often solely based on usage data and theoretical considerations.
Impact of Augmented Reality on Vocabulary Acquisition and Retention
Authors: Tyson Megan
Published: June 2021

The present study investigated the impact teaching academic vocabulary through an augmented reality (AR) approach had on acquisition and retention as compared to using a more traditional flash card based approach. 29 high school students ranging from 9th to 11th grade followed the pattern of a 10 word vocabulary pre-test, being taught those words through respective alternating AR and traditional vocabulary methods, and post-tested one week from the date of teaching. At the end of the testing and teaching process, the unit scores were compared to find if any differences occurred. Analysis revealed that there is a significant difference between the two teaching methods. Participants scored better in the AR unit as compared to the traditional unit. Furthermore, participants also reported greater satisfaction with the AR method because it held their attention, gave them something to focus on, and was overall more engaging. Comparatively, participants found the traditional method not engaging, however, they were comfortable with the traditional method because it is what they are comfortable with in the classroom. Given the curiosity of using AR in the classroom, more research could be conducted to find patterns in participant performance across all academic content areas as well as other uses for AR in the classroom. 
Scientific Community in Algeria: Adopting Traditions and Developing Identity
Authors: Tyukaeva T. I.
Published: June 2021

The history of scientific development in Algeria, which has not been long, represents a series of continual rises and falls. The Algerian leadership and researchers have been making efforts to create Algeria's national science through protection from the western scientific tradition, which is reminiscent of the colonial period of the country, and at the same time adoption of scientific knowledge and scientific institutions functioning principles from abroad, with no organizational or scientific experience of their own. Since the time the independent Algerian state was established, its scientific development has been inevitably coupled with active support of European countries, especially France, and other western and non-western states. Today the Algerian leadership is highly devoted to the modernization of the national scientific and research potential in strong cooperation with its foreign partners. The article concentrates on examining the present period (the 2000s) of the scientific development in Algeria. The main conclusion is that there still is a number of problems - for Algeria until now lacks an integral scientific community with the state preserving its dominating role in science and research activities. Despite these difficulties, the Algerian science has made an outstanding progress. The efficiently built organizational scientific structure, the growing science and technology cooperation with foreign countries as well as the increasing state expenses in science allow to hope for further success of the Algerian scientific development.

By the beginning of the XXI century, the US had about 12 million illegal aliens and the immigration reform was evidently much needed. The Immigration Act of 1990 was significantly outdated and required revision. Additional regulations that passed in the 1990-s had to be systematized. The White House and the president George W. Bush inclined to the comprehensive immigration reform that would include an amnesty for the certain part of the illegal aliens. Some lawmakers were ready to strike a deal, but than happened the 9/11 tragedy. Immigration reform was shelved and turned into a matter of national security. Immigration reform bills were taken into consideration only in conjunction with boarder security bills. Edward Kennedy was very much aware of the issue's complexity and the need for reform; he did all he could to reach a compromise with his fellow Republicans. John McCain became his closest ally in the reform. Democrats made considerable concessions, while moderate Republicans were willing to meet them halfway, but the conservatives would not let the Congress adopt a new legislation, calling any attempt at comprehensive immigration reform an amnesty for the criminals. During the 107-110 Congresses the immigration reform was thoroughly worked through from both sides, but the proposed bills rarely got to the floor and never passed both Houses. Even though the time has passed, suggestions offered and deals reached during the Bush presidency did not lose the edge and any new immigration legislation is going be based on the 2002-2008 bills.
IN REGARDS TO CONSTANT AND INTERPRETATIVE CRITERIA OF CONCEPT IN A LANGUAGE
Authors: Fedulova M. N.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the research about the criteria for defining the "concept" in the modern linguistics. The existence of a number of concepts and terms doesn't allow the scientists to agree on its clear definition. The author points out that the base of concept emergence is founded on the processes of conceptualization, these processes are supported by the basic types of metaphorical judgment. In this article, the analysis of different approaches in order to define the structure of the concept indicates that the concept structure consists of a number of components, and for the most part they are permanent and the rest are interpretative. Until recently the linguistic development of "concept" was mainly limited by the framework of subject-thematic criteria. Along with this the scientists focused on and are still focusing on non-contradictory construction of concept logic in a language discourse. The author of the article states that the forming of the notions and perceptions about space, time, life is based on the conceptualization processes and reflected in the language and concepts. The understanding of concept is being achieved through the number of notions revealed during the speaking process, i.e. discursively, as well as through images, symbols, expression of feelings, and different emotional states. The evaluation of different occurrences, emerged within a certain situation is considered the beginning of the concept emergence. Thus, the author is inclining, that the concept is transsituational; its status is cognitive because the thinking process plays an important role in the cognition of the concept. It is particularly interesting to note the author's conclusion that it is incorrect to mix this important philosophical and linguistic notion with the notion/definition of "word". 'Word' is an objective side of conceptualization and it can not be considered a 'concept'. With all that the processes of conceptualization in the language can be considered in two ways: semasiologically and onomosemasiologically.
UNIVERSITY EDUCATION OF SPECIALISTS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS AS A WAY OF PASSING CULTURAL CODE
Authors: Shepeleva I. M.
Published: June 2021

The article describes the cultural code approach to the process of higher education requires global understanding and awareness of the integrity of academic studies at the university, comprising both professional and humanitarian disciplines, such as philosophy, history, ethnography, psychology etc. International communication playing the key role in the development of the world community presupposes systemic and interdisciplinary approach to solving problems and facing challenges arising in the modern times. Language is the most essential component of communication whose organization is based on the principles of interaction, cooperation and politeness ensuring the molding of communicative norms of social behavior. Compliance with these norms creates conditions for effective exchange of opinions, shapes an environment for positive interaction and implementation of communicative strategies by participants in verbal disquisition. On the other hand, national pictures of the world, implanted in the conscience of a child by their family and society serve as natural limits to international communication and understanding cross-cultural peculiarities. They often prevent people from reaching rapport with their foreign counterparts, as their worldviews come into contradiction. National and cultural distinctions cause main differences between systems, norms and uses. National stereotypes, focusing on most typical features of a nation, could serve as a tool for overcoming this discrepancy. Holistic approach to studying a foreign language as an integral part of the culture, alongside with other humanitarian and social disciplines, involves a deep insight into core mental and spiritual values of the society. So, the guiding role of the university teacher consists in dealing with professional issues while addressing the wide cultural content and intercultural objectives.
European and Integration Studies
Authors: Kaveshnikov N. Yu.
Published: June 2021

Soviet scientific school of pan-European integration studies began to emerge in the 1960s at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (Russian Academy of Science). Among the leading scientists who have developed methodological approaches of Soviet integration studies were M.M. Maximova, Y.A. Borko, Y. Shishkov, L.I. Capercaillie. Later, a new center for integration studies became the Institute of Europe, created in 1987. It was led by such renowned scientists as Academicians V.V. Zhurkin and N.P. Shmelev. In the 1980s the subject of the integration process in Europe attracted attention of experts from MGIMO. An important role in the development of school of integration research in the USSR was played by a MGIMO professor, head of the chair of history of international relations and foreign policy of the USSR V.B. Knyazhinskiy. His work contributed to the deliverance of the national scientific community from skepticism about the prospects for European integration. Ideas of V.B. Knyazhinsky are developed today in MGIMO by his followers A.V. Mal'gin and T.V. Ur'eva. In the mid-1990s, having retired from diplomatic service, professor Yu. Matveevskiy started to work at MGIMO. With a considerable practical experience in the field, he produced a series of monographs on the history of European integration. In his works, he analyses the development of integration processes in Western Europe from their inception to the present day, showing the gradual maturation of the necessary spiritual and material prerequisites for the start of integration and traces the various stages of the "integration". In the late 1990s, the growing demand from the domestic business and government for professionals who are capable of interacting with the European Union, has produced the necessary supply in the form of educational programs based on accumulated scientific knowledge. Setting up a discipline "European Integration" was a major step in the development of domestic science school integration research. The creation in 2003 at MGIMO of the first in Russia Department of European integration was a necessary and logical step.
Institutionalization of Ukrainian Nationalism: Difference of "Svoboda" ("Liberty") and "Praviy Sektor" ("Right Ssector") Ideology
Authors: Tokarev A. A.
Published: June 2021

The article examines the history of the formation of Ukrainian nationalist parties "Svoboda" and "Praviy sektor". First, that they express a structured nationalism and Russophobia in Ukrainian political space. Secondly, in Russia it has become customary to identify one with another. The paper gives an overview of the basic civil identities in Ukraine, Eastern and Western. The author postulates that their conflict lies at the heart of the growing popularity of both nationalist parties. In addition, this process was provoked by the reunion of Crimea and Russia and by the civil war in the south-east of Ukraine. Before the Crimean crisis Ukrainian nationalism had primarily historical roots, and in many respects it was created by attitude of empire elites (the Russian and Soviet Empires) to Ukrainians and their nation-state formations. After March-2014 it began to acquire a geopolitical indication exactly - Russia is perceived as an enemy. Two of the most famous actors of the Ukrainian nationalists and anarchists parties in modern Russia are "Svoboda" and "Praviy sektor". They have fundamentally different origins. "Svoboda" is a systematic force in Ukrainian politics for almost 20 years. Unlike it "Praviy sektor" was established like a party only in December 2013 within a framework of the Euromaidan. Due to the inability to compare the electoral history of both parties the author pays attention to the comparative analysis of their ideologies. Specific manifestations of extremism of "Svoboda" and "Praviy sektor" are not subjects of this research.
