Mechanisms underlying lactic acid tolerance and its influence on lactic acid production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: Peetermans Arne , Foulquié-Moreno María R. , Thevelein Johan M.
Published: May 2021

One of the major bottlenecks in lactic acid production using microbial fermentation is the detrimental influence lactic acid accumulation poses on the lactic acid producing cells. The accumulation of lactic acid results in many negative effects on the cell such as intracellular acidification, anion accumulation, membrane perturbation, disturbed amino acid trafficking, increased turgor pressure, ATP depletion, ROS accumulation, metabolic dysregulation and metal chelation. In this review, the manner in which Saccharomyces cerevisiae deals with these issues will be discussed extensively not only for lactic acid as a singular stress factor but also in combination with other stresses. In addition, different methods to improve lactic acid tolerance in S. cerevisiae using targeted and non-targeted engineering methods will be discussed.

Reportamos los moluscos asociados a la valva derecha del ostión de roca Striostrea prismatica Gray, 1825. Un total de doce valvas preservadas en alcohol al 96% fueron examinadas. Los moluscos asociados a las valvas fueron separados con ayuda de un estereoscopio. Las valvas analizadas tuvieron una longitud mínima de 61.1 mm y máximo de 84.2 mm. Se cuantificaron un total de 164 moluscos asociados a las doce valvas, representados por las clases Gastropoda y Bivalvia, con un total de 8 familias, 11 géneros, y 12 especies. Los gasterópodos estuvieron representados por 4 especies y los bivalvos por 8 especies. Las familias más abundantes fueron Mytilidae (Bivalvia) con 64.0% e Hipponicidae (Gastropoda) con 11.6 %. La Abundancia promedio del estudio fue 13.7 moluscos/valva. Se cuantificaron marcas internas en las valvas, ocasionadas por el bivalvo perforador Leiosolenus aristatus. Este es el primer estudio que contribuye a la diversidad de moluscos asociados a Striostrea prismatica.
Improvement of the Water Management by Applying the No Tillage System for the Winter Wheat Production
Authors: CHEȚAN Felicia , CHEȚAN Cornel
Published: May 2021

The Transylvanian Plain has a particular aspect, as the hilly areas are predominant and here the soil erosion phenomena through levigation are frequently encountered. The effect of water availability on yields has been thoroughly researched, being one of the main limitative factors of the winter wheat yields. Starting from these considerations, during the agricultural years 2012-2018, a bi-factorial yield test was performed at Agricultural Research and Development Station (ARDS) Turda, for a period of seven years. The study explored the influence of the water status under the influence of two tillage systems and the climatic conditions specific for this area on winter wheat yields. In the field conditions of Turda during experimental interval, the soil tillage system had a rather small impact on the winter wheat yields. In the conventional system (CS) a reserve of accessible water is preserved better during the spring period, this being attributed to a better infiltration into the soil of winter precipitation (snow). In the conservative system (NT), the observed trend suggests that restoration of the ground water reserve is more difficult than in the CS but the loss of water in the CS is just as fast.

Bee pollen has many therapeutic properties with its rich chemical content. Especially the phenolic substances in the structure of bee pollen are very effective in showing the bioactive compounds. Thanks to these properties, bee pollen is used as a food supplement. It is known that these features are influenced by many factors such as climate, geography and plant origin. Therefore, it is important to determine the botanical origins of bee products.In this study, botanical origins and total bioactive compounds were determined at the seven bee pollen samples collected from different regions of Turkey. Also, antimicrobial activity of the seven bee pollen samples against seven different bacterial pathogens and one fungal agent using broth microdilution method were studied. Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Cistaceae, Papaveraceae families were found as a dominant in the regions by botanical origins examination. Total phenolic values were found between 24.77 ± 288.824 mg GAE/g and 51.61 ± 727.14 mg GAE/g. Total flavonoid content was 1.36 ± 0.015 mg QE/g and 2.40 ± 0.077 mg QE/g. The antimicrobial results showed that each of the tested bee pollen samples inhibited the growth of the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria at the different levels while they did not have a complete inhibitory effect on the fungi.

The cadastre and the land book form a unitary and mandatory system that ensures technical, economic and legal records of all the properties on the territory of the country. This paper includes the presentation of the operations necessary to prepare the cadastral documentation for detachment in two lots, using UAV photogrammetric technology. The studied area is located in the suburbs of Valea Ierii locality, with an area of 212353 sqm. The main part of the project was based on the use of the UAV photogrammetric method to survey the area. At the same time, two GNSS receivers were used to complete the photogrammetric measurements. Control and verification points were premarked on the ground, the coordinates of which were determined by the real-time kinematic GNSS method. This operation was followed by performing the photogrammetric flight using an UAS platform. The flight lasted about 17 minutes, covered an area of 29 ha and 288 frames were captured. The front overlap between  photos was set to 75% and the side overlap to 65%. New technologies for taking frames and processing them have been adopted, through methods that involve a low cost and a shorter time to perform specific operations.
Melia azedarach L. extract induced the production of phytocystatin in passion fruit leaves
Authors: Rodrigues Alyne Bispo , Siqueira Junior César Luis
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT Phytocystatins belong to the family of cysteine proteinases inhibitors. These proteinase inhibitors have crucial functions in plant defense against insects and pathogens attack. In the present study Melia azedarach L. extract acts as an elicitor of plant defense responses in passion fruit seedlings inducing the increase of a phytocystatin levels in of these plants. The leaf protein content of the seedlings was extracted 24 hours after treatment with plant extract and analyzed for the induction of proteinase inhibitor activity. The results demonstrated the induction of a ~ 60 kD phytocystatin (Pfcyst) that has in vitro inhibitory effects against papain. These findings suggest that M. azedarach plant extracts may act as a potential activator of induced resistance against insects and pathogens by upregulating cystatin proteins synthesis in passion fruits plants. Thus, the use of plant extracts as biodefensives could reduce the use of pesticides in economically important agricultural crops.

Published: May 2021

Este estudo tem por objetivo identificar as atividades metalinguísticas realizadas por dois alunos portugueses recém-alfabetizados (com idades entre 7 e 8 anos) que escrevem colaborativamente um mesmo texto em sala de aula. Destacam-se duas categorias de análise: a) as ocorrências de rasuras escritas que surgiram no manuscrito; b) os comentários relativos a essas rasuras. Consideradas enquanto reflexão e atividade metalinguística, estas rasuras indicam o forte caráter recursivo da escritura e da relação do escrevente com seu texto. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados em uma escola de educação básica da cidade de Aveiro, em Portugal, através do suporte metodológico oferecido pelo Sistema Ramos, uma ferramenta de captura multimodal do processo de escritura. Os resultados mostraram que as atividades metalinguísticas verbalizadas através dos comentários dos alunos aparecem em diferentes níveis, tanto com menção de termos linguísticos adequados, quanto com a omissão destes termos. Além disso, observou-se um desacordo entre seu uso e sua função no texto.

Authors: Guimarães Raphael Mendonça , Andrade Flavia Cristina Drumond
Published: May 2021

O Brasil experimenta uma transição demográfica marcada por desigualdades regionais. É possível supor que aspectos relacionados à pobreza, desenvolvimento e desigualdade possam reverter os efeitos de associação dos indicadores da transição demográfica, tipificando um fenômeno conhecido como Paradoxo de Simpson. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o efeito da desigualdade, pobreza e desenvolvimento social na dinâmica populacional brasileira, verificando a ocorrência do paradoxo de Simpson na transição demográfica. Foram utilizados dados populacionais oriundos dos Censos Demográficos brasileiros de 1991 a 2010, segundo idade no Brasil e unidades da federação. Foi avaliada a correlação entre os indicadores demográficos, estratificando das unidades da federação em grupos de acordo com os indicadores sociais. Há um avanço das UF com relação aos indicadores sociais, ainda que persista a heterogeneidade. A transição vem ocorrendo em todas as UF, com persistência da distância entre elas, mesmo que com redução ao longo dos anos. Observou-se o paradoxo de Simpson quando a análise foi realizada segundo ano censitário, e segundo indicador social, principalmente para o ano de 1991. O principal desafio é compreender como a dinâmica demográfica brasileira pode ser analisada e compreender de que forma os fatores contextuais alteram seu ritmo, quantum e padrão.

Aim: Acute pancreatitis is a common disease that can be fatal at advanced stages. Therefore, early evaluation of the prognosis of acute pancreatitis is important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of monocyte distribution width in defining the prognosis of acute pancreatitis.
Materials and Methods: The study included patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of acute biliary pancreatitis between December 2019 and October 2020. The cases were evaluated in 2 groups as mild pancreatitis and non-mild pancreatitis. The groups were compared in terms of age, white blood cell, neutrophil count, C-reactive protein, length of hospital stay, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, Monocyte Distribution Width, amylase, Aspartate Aminotransferase, albumin, and lactate dehydrogenase.
Results: A statistically significant difference was determined between the mild pancreatitis group (n:59) and non-mild pancreatitis group (n:48) in terms of white blood cell, neutrophil count, C-reactive protein, Monocyte Distribution Width and length of hospital stay (p <0.05). When the cut-off value for Monocyte Distribution Width was taken as 703.00, sensitivity was 50.94% and specificity was 61.11.8%.
Conclusion: The Monocyte Distribution Width value is a parameter that can be used to differentiate mild pancreatitis from non-mild pancreatitis. More extensive studies are needed for a clearer evaluation.
Influence of the intramedullary nail length on a fracture site: Biomechanical evaluation with the finite element method
Authors: OFLAZ Hakan
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Intramedullar locking nails have been widely preferred in femoral shaft fractures, however, design of the nails cause some problems. If the length of the nail and the distance of the distal locking screws to the fracture site are not considered, negative side effects may be observed. In order to understand the side effect of the distance between fructure gap and the distal locking pin, effect of the nail length were aimed to investigate in this study.

Material and Method: Two intramedullary nails with different lengths were compared. One nail was 301 mm and the other nail was 251 mm in length. The nails were inserted into the 1/3 proximal fractured femur with the support of computer aided design (CAD) software. Comparative Static analyses were performed on the 3D models.

Results: Different equivalent (von-Mises) stress results were observed on the fructure sides of the two models which were 2.0204e+009 Pa and 3.1925e+007 Pa respectively. Consequently, the stress on the fracture surface decreases as the distance between the distal locking side and the fracture side, decreases.

Discussion and Conclusion: Clinically, the shorter nail must be prefered to decrease the stress on the fructure side. Meanwhile, the other factors like diameter, angle of the fixation pin, and material properties should be considered while choosing nails.

Authors: Rambauli M , Antwi AM , Mudau FN
Published: May 2021

This paper presents existing linkages within the spheres of government on plant health institutional and legislative framework and further identifies the existing limitations and risks on the current existing framework on the plant health system. A survey was conducted in South Africa with the relevant scientists from the National Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) formerly known as the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) and Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) formerly known as Department of Environmental Affair (DEA) as well as extensionist and agricultural advisors from 7 Provincial Departments of Agriculture (PDAs). The sample size of the study was 60 government officials from both the national and provincial departments of agriculture. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were analysed statistically using the one-way frequency and Spearman’s Rank correlation coefficients. This paper revealed that there were no formal linkages between the relevant national government and PDAs in terms of legislative and policy prescripts on plant health issues. The study further revealed that there is a need to establish a plant health unit to coordinate plant health matters from the National Plant Protection Organisation of South Africa. On the aspect of biosecurity legislative framework affecting food production and security as well as trade, the study found that there is no cross-referencing amongst relevant legislation; therefore, there is a need for harmonisation of relevant legislation.

Authors: KOLAÇ Nurcan , TAYLAN Seçil
Published: May 2021

Purpose: The aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and the patients’ coping methods with alopecia.

Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 240 patients who applied to chemotherapy unit of two private hospitals in Istanbul between December 2019 and January 2020. The data were collected using a patient information form developed by the researchers upon the literature review.
Results: It was determined that 85.7% of the women experienced alopecia problem and the difference was significant according to their gender (p=0.00). 92.0% of patients with genitourinary system cancer and 88.5% of breast cancer patients experienced alopecia, the difference was statistically significant, and the significance was caused by experiencing alopecia more in these cancer types than the other cancer types (p=0.007). It was determined that 82.5% of the patients, who were receiving chemotherapy for less than a year, statistically significantly experienced alopecia more compared to the patients who were receiving chemotherapy for a longer period (p=0.031). It was also found that 69.7% of patients with Stage IV cancer experienced alopecia but they experienced alopecia statistically significantly less compared to the other stage patients (p=0.040). When the patients were examined in terms of diagnosis time according to family history of breast cancer, it was determined that 43.6% of those, who had family history of breast cancer, and 63.8% of those, who had no family history of breast cancer, were diagnosed in the stage II of their disease. The distribution of the cancer diagnosis time of patients according to having breast cancer history in the family was statistically significant (p=0.000). It was determined that 28.2% of the patients who had family history of breast cancer and 21.0% of the patients, who had no family history of breast cancer, noticed the lump for the first time in their regular self-breast examination. The distribution of duration of cancer diagnosis based on family history of breast cancer and the way of noticing the lump in the breast were statistically significant (p=0.000, p=0.014). It was also determined that 61.0% of the patients experiencing alopecia used a wig-bonnet (p=0.00) and there was no statistically significant difference between experiencing alopecia and age, marital status, occupation, place of residence, income status and social security.
Conclusion: Alopecia was seen to be more common in women. Patients with genito-urinary system and breast cancer experienced alopecia more than other cancer patients. More than half of the women used bonnets and wigs. As the education level increased, women’s status of using bonnet and wig increased as well.

Published: May 2021

La propuesta que se desarrolla en este artículo pretende construir la acción táctica como configuración subjetivade la experiencia deportiva, desde una mirada singular y dinámica. Con base en la teoría de la subjetividad y de la epistemología cualitativa de González Rey,se desarrolló una aproximación alternativa en el análisis de experiencias de fracaso en competencia, que permitió resaltar la importancia del trabajoprocesal en un tipo de investigación que busca construir un modelo teórico explicativo en permanente desarrollo. La calidad de la expresión de C., judocaparalímpico cubano que vive con una discapacidad visual, fue el aspecto esencial para el estudio de dos situaciones de combate específicas sucedidas enlos Juegos Paralímpicos Londres 2012 y Juegos Parapanamericanos Toronto 2016, que, a partir de una relación basada en el diálogo y la comunicación empática,permitió explicitar cómo desde la singularidad es posible crear inteligibilidad sobre las experiencias deportivas. La intención fue construir unainterpretación de la experiencia deportiva desde la organización subjetiva que emerge en el curso de la acción deportiva no exitosa. La discusión avanza en laposibilidad de pensar la preparación táctica como espacio complejo, donde la subjetividad se erige como una opción explicativa de las vivencias deportivas.

Blue-Green Playscapes: Exploring Children’s Places in Stormwater Spaces in Augustenborg, Malmö
Authors: Mottaghi Misagh , Kylin Maria , Kopljar Sandra , Sternudd Catharina
Published: May 2021

The urbanisation of cities increases the demands on, and complexity of, urban land use. Urban densification is challenging urban green space. Cities have responded to this challenge by adopting a multiple-use strategy where different functions share space. Shrinking open space has to contain solutions for everyday functions such as bicycle parking, waste sorting, blue-green stormwater systems, and playscapes. Values and functions that can reinforce and amplify each other are therefore of interest to study. The present article explores the possibilities for blue-green solutions (BGS) to be used as part of children’s playscapes. BGS are aboveground, ecological stormwater facilities, introduced to prevent flooding and support biodiversity while adding recreational and aesthetic qualities to the urban environment. The objective is to discuss the extent to which ecological and social values can reinforce each other in terms of encouraging children to engage with BGS natural elements. The researchers have studied the Augustenborg residential neighbourhood in Malmö. The area was primarily investigated through a postal survey, which identified a remodelled park with a floodable sunken lawn as a potentially attractive area for children’s activities. The park was analysed as a potential playscape and supported by on-site observations. The study shows that even if BGS largely meet children’s play values, due to existing socio-spatial structures, children are not using the offered play features. The article discusses the results in terms of how stormwater management may enhance the actualisation of play potentials in children’s everyday living environment.

The article is dedicated to the research of priority motives according to attending “Physical education” classes by I and II year students from universities of Ukraine. The goal of the research is to determine the ratings of students’ motivation towards attending physical education classes in the universities in Ukraine. The methods of research are analysis and generalization of scientific methodologic literature data, sociologic methods (questionnaire) and mathematical statistics methods. The questionnaire was answered by 363 students from 4 Ukrainian universities. Among them were 170 males and 193 females. The main results of the research are as follows. It was determined the general structure of students’ motivation and value orientation according attending physical education classes by each university particularly. There was performed comparable analysis of significance ranking of the motives to attend physical education classes and also generalized differences between females and males in the choice of motivation priority. It was determined that 57,9% of students that have been taking part in the questionnaire, think that priority motive to attend physical education classes is to get credits from the course, while body strengthening has second priority place (47,9%). As males (46,5%) so females (67,9%) believe the most essential motive is to get credits from the course “Physical education” and body strengthening (males – 38,8%, females – 56,6%). The third place among males got the motive to improve physical efficiency (26,5%), among females – the desire to get fit (35,2%). Conclusions: The results we have got testify the importance to increase motivation level to attend physical education lessons.
USING ROLE-PLAYING GAME FOR PROFESSIONAL SKILLS FORMATION OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS
Authors: Ivanova Svitlana , Dimitrov Lubomir , Ivanov Viktor , Prokopovych Lada
Published: May 2021

The features of using Role-playing games in educating students - prospective teachers are considered. In practical classes on teaching methods of various disciplines, Role-playing games are often used, associated with conducting a fragment of a lesson or a full lesson. Typically, these practical classes are organized on an empirical level. The version of the Role-playing game "Observing Mathematics Lessons", developed on the basis of the theory of contextual learning, is presented. Psychological and pedagogical principles: simulation of specific conditions, game modelling of the content and forms of professional activity, collaborative activities are used in the design of the game. These principles are the basis for creating a game model, which consists of: game goals, a set of roles that indicate the functions of the player, the scenario and the rules of the game. The simulation model contains: didactic goals, the subject of the game and the evaluation system. An important difference developed by the Role-playing game is to take into account the personality types of students - participants in the game. Students with personality types typical for STEM students were selected for the role of "good pupil”. The roles of the "bad pupils" were played by students with personality types typical for students who usually do not have academic success in mathematics. A survey has been conducted, which showed that the proposed Role-playing game enable the simulation of the real situation of an observing mathematics lesson.

Published: May 2021

To be a teacher in the times of today is a great challenge. In order to respond to the needs of modern society, lifelong learning and mastery of numerous competences are expected of the teacher in various fields of work, wherein cooperation with parents is one of the extremely important areas. The goal of the research was to gain insight into self-assessment of competence of students at the Faculty of Teachers Education for future cooperation with parents. The research was implemented during October, 2020, on the sample of 416 students in their first, third and fifth year at the Faculty of Teacher Education of the University of Zagreb (Croatia). It is a futurological research for whose needs a questionnaire was designed with 26 manifest variables on an ordinal, five-degree Likert-type scale. From the manifest set of variables of competence for future cooperation with parents, three composite variables were formed: general cooperation competence, competence for cooperation directed to teaching efficacy, and competence for cooperation directed to communication with parents. The results show that the total student self-assessment of competences for future cooperation with parents is relatively positive, and the existence of statistically significant differences in all three composite variables. Faculties educating future teachers should introduce obligatory courses which would sensitise and capacitate them for future cooperation with parents.

Published: May 2021

Continuous education today is a major feature of modern society. In order to ensure the competitiveness of future professionals who obtain higher education within the walls of the Institutions of Higher Education, the education process should be aimed at ensuring a high level of professional knowledge as well as the formation of graduates' adaptability to changeable modern production.  Since for a future engineer knowledge of higher mathematics is the basis for solving complex problems of a production nature, it can be argued that they are part of professional mobility. The implementation of technologies for the formation of professional mobility in higher mathematics has made it possible to note that the readiness to change activities can be considered not only in the context of changing professional activity, but also in the process of students’ educational activity. And this, in turn, made it possible to determine the «mathematical mobility». The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate and practically test the methods of forming mathematical mobility of future engineers in higher mathematics classes. The experiment used competency-oriented tasks, test tasks in higher mathematics, built on the basis of Bloom's taxonomy, developed interactive methods for conducting practical classes in the process of studying higher mathematics. The results of the experiment showed the effectiveness of the proposed innovative technologies in the process of fundamental training of future engineers.

The study intends to expand a methodology of shaping intending educators’ ethical culture. The examples of effective techniques that were used in a teacher-training process are provided. Some samples of authentic pedagogical cases created by teachers and students are presented. The main stages of work on the formulation of the “Teacher’s Code of Ethics” are revealed. Such interaction methods as “Brain Storming”, “Decision Tree” are given. Fragments of the lesson “Pedagogical techniques in the structure of pedagogical communication of a teacher” are described, where students analyze videos on pedagogical topics, identify phrases that violate the ethical norms of the teaching profession and choose alternatives.The excerpts from the works of intending educators, where students reflect on the teachers’ functions and responsibilities, are analysed. A structured set of traditional (lectures, tutorials, laboratory classes) and innovative (brainstorming, role-playing, case studies, decision tree, pedagogical marathon, etc.) methods, which accelerate students’ gradual progress to the highest creative level of ethic culture is presented. Such organization of the educational process reflects the developmental changes from intuitive actions in different situations on the basis of initial ethics knowledge to the willingness of intending educators to work independently, guided by high-minded principles and norms in professional situations.

On the basis of scientific sources analysis, the characteristic features of praxeological culture of the student at Agrarian University have been revealed. The author has studied the main proceedings which are the basis for the construction of the theoretical foundations of the student’s praxeological culture education. There has been proved that the student’s praxeological culture is determined by the total level of culture of the people who are involved in Pedagogical University activities, their cultural traditions arising from the standards of conduct, their attitudes being expressed in practical actions, in motivations of everyday activity, and their educational strategies.The article describes the rationale for the education of praxeological culture in the process of teaching the discipline "Praxeological culture of a specialist" for students of the specialties «Agronomy», «Management», «Agro engineering». The content of students' training is revealed through the values, principles and technologies of establishing communicative, professional relations in various industrial situations. To achieve this goal, interactive methods and the GROW coach technique were used; for the statistical analysis of the results of experimental work, the Fisher criterion is used. It is shown that experimental exercises and trainings contribute to the effective formation of praxeological culture and professional competence, future specialists of the agro-industrial complex, as evidenced by monitoring and evaluation of the success of training and development of students. According to the results of the experiment, it can be noted that knowledge of praxeological culture will help future specialists to establish contacts in a team, increase mental activity, and increase the level of creativity of young people.

Rapid changes in education and pedagogy are related not only to the global crisis caused by COVID-19, but also to other changes determined by globalization and technological convergence—labour mobility, changes in different professions and changes in teacher–student relations—that are also affected by intergenerational differences. Changes in the pedagogical paradigm, which are included in the content of the Paris Communiqué (2018) and outlined in many important educational development and planning documents, emphasise students’ transition from being mere recipients of information to being participants actively engaged with new information in a learning environment. Following the identification of problems with a less frequent use of active participation methods in higher education, the University of Latvia implemented an Erasmus+ project entitled Entrance to Future Education (2017–2019). In this project, the authors summarized modern, inspiring, interactive, active engagement-oriented teaching/learning methods in higher education. During the project, several student focus groups were formed to discuss students’ experiences with active engagement methods in studies, and a handbook with various student active engagement methods and games was created. In 2020, 106 students from different Latvian universities were surveyed about their understanding and experience in relation to these teaching methods in their studies. The results showed that, according to students, attitude and ardour are essential for engaging students with enthusiasm and interest in the study process. The results of the survey show the varied experiences of students, as well as different understandings of active learning methods. Students noted that they most often experienced various group projects in studies, presentations and various tasks outside the classroom, but relatively rarely used such methods as creative video making, active use of game elements and constructive feedback from peers
THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FUTURE TEACHERS

Published: May 2021

In Latvia, inclusive education is relevant as seen in the past several decades, during which time society has developed a more comprehensive understanding of and made significant progress towards implementing inclusive education. Nevertheless, there is still a gap between the priorities of education policy and reality in educational institutions. The quality of education accorded to students is informed by the knowledge, understanding and experience of teachers in the implementation of concepts of inclusive education. The current study aimed at identifying the visions of prospective teachers (already working in schools) concerning inclusive education. To explore the experiences of future teachers, this qualitative study used narratives (i.e., written answers to open-ended discussion questions) of prospective teachers as a research strategy. The study team recruited participants at the University of Latvia, which included 61 students in the work-based teacher education study programme and 46 future pre-school and primary school teachers. Therefore, the current study offers insight into how comprehensive education is implemented in Latvian schools. The results reveal a positive attitude on the concept of inclusive education among most prospective teachers. However, they have concerns about the quality of its implementation, which come as a consequence of limited resources (human, time and financial) and the underdeveloped teachers’ professional competence in the implementation of diversity solutions. Therefore, improving the study process of future teachers enhances the development of their competencies in the provision and promotion of solutions regarding inclusive education.

One of the tasks of modern education is to ensure the sustainability of higher education in the ever-changing environment in the context of globalization and glocalization. Under these conditions, cooperation in higher education is becoming more important as one of the manifestations of competitiveness. Socio-economic changes caused by globalization, internationalization and digitalisation of higher education, as well as the current demographic situation in Europe, including Latvia, raise the issue of the competitiveness of academic staff in a multi-level, multi-context and multifunctional higher education environment. The aim of the study is: based on the interdisciplinary approach, including transfer approach from economics and business sciences to educational sciences, to theoretically substantiate the competitiveness of university teachers in interaction with the multi-context and multi-level higher education environment, as well as the competitiveness of universities. The following research methods were used: study, analysis, and evaluation of scientific literature (theoretical research method); the reflection of own (the article authors') academic and scientific experience (empirical research method). The results of the research show that two tendencies can be distinguished in the substantiation of the competitiveness of university academic staff: 1) economists and business scientists, based on competition theories, use basic knowledge, findings in the development of the substantiation of competitiveness; 2) representatives of educational sciences and psychology develop a philosophical methodological base for research of specialists' competitiveness within their branches of science. In their research, the authors combine both of these approaches in conducting interdisciplinary research. Research results show that the competitiveness of the academic staff can be viewed in several aspects: 1) as a set of different characteristics (qualities) which are considered to be competitive advantages: 2) characteristics of competitive activities manifestations in the higher education environment. Three levels of the higher education environment are important in assessing the competitiveness of university teachers: the level of the local higher education environment (university level), the level of the national higher education environment and the level of the global higher education environment.
