На основе анализа нормативных правовых актов, регулирующих основные начала экономбезопасности, проведено исследование таких понятий как экономическая безопасность и ее обеспечение, единство экономического пространства, экономический суверенитет России; проведен сравнительно-правовой анализ понятий национальной и государственной безопасности. Выявлены основные недостатки правового обеспечения в исследуемой сфере отношений и внесены предложения по совершенствованию правового обеспечения вышеперечисленных понятий, учитывающие современные тенденции глобализации и цифровизации современной социально-экономической системы.

В статье впервые вносятся предложения по комплексному правовому регулированию таких базовых дефиниций, как «единство экономического пространства» и «экономический суверенитет Российской Федерации». Внесены предложения по совершенствованию правового обеспечения противодействия неблагоприятным последствиям гибридных войн, кибертеррористических и иных угроз экономбезопасности нашей страны.

 Основные положения и выводы статьи могут быть использованы в научной, научно-исследовательской и образовательной деятельности, прежде всего при рассмотрении вопросов правового обеспечения экономической безопасности как составной части безопасности национальной и планетарной.
Проблемы формулирования и разграничения презумпций и фикций в трудовом праве
Authors: Zatsepina Olesya
Published: January 2020

Статья посвящена презумпциям и фикциям в трудовом праве как средствам юридической техники, вопросам их формулирования и разграничения. Установлено, что законодатель в рассматриваемой отрасли права (как и в других его отраслях) для закрепления презумпции в норме права использует слова, отражающие сущность и являющиеся распространенной формой выражения правовой фикции, что способствует смешению этих средств юридической техники. Но главным критерием разграничения презумпций и фикций является не словесная форма их выражения, а наличие или отсутствие степени вероятности. Выявлено, что возможность закрепления правовой фикции не только с помощью характерных слов, но и без них привела к существованию позиции, ставящей под сомнение использование в трудовом праве правовых фикций как особых средств юридической техники. Доказана несостоятельность такой точки зрения посредством объяснения указанной возможности существованием двух способов закрепления правовой фикции: прямом и косвенном, и установлено, что фикции как средства юридической техники в рассматриваемой отрасли права являются весьма распространенным явлением. Сделан вывод о том, что для правильного выявления исследуемых правовых явлений в правовых нормах и их разграничения между собой следует помнить, что наличие или отсутствие в конкретной норме права презумпции или фикции как средств юридической техники определяется не наличием или отсутствием в ней характерных слов, а ее смыслом и юридическим значением, которым она обладает согласно воле законодателя.

Inventar el imposible porvenir: estética y política
Authors: Chun Sebastián
Published: January 2020

¿Qué es la invención? ¿Cuál es su relación con la tradición que viene a interrumpir? Estas preguntas guiarán el recorrido aquí propuesto, en el cual una concepción clásica de la invención, que acentúa su carácter novedoso y disruptivo, será puesta en cuestión. La reflexión sobre la vanguardia en Adorno y Horkheimer, la búsqueda de un poder destituyente por parte de Agamben y la concepción de la escritura desplegada por Borges nos servirán de preámbulos al análisis que realiza Derrida de la invención imposible. Este itinerario nos permitirá articular estética y política, en la búsqueda de un pensamiento emancipatorio que anuncie la invención de otro modo de lo político.
Dossier 1: Más de una lengua, más de una literatura. Lecturas, escrituras y «traducciones» desde América Latina. Presentación
Authors: Vázquez María Celia , Raimondi Sergio
Published: January 2020

Las experiencias de escritoras y escritores argentinos y latinoamericanos atravesadas por el bilingüismo o el plurilingüismo son un objeto privilegiado de este dossier, uno de cuyos objetivos consiste en pensar esa situación en términos de inestabilidad: hacia el sujeto, hacia la llamada lengua materna, hacia las literaturas, hacia la temporalidad, hacia el vínculo territorial. El problema de la traducción (desde la perspectiva biográfica o la autofiguración del traductor hasta la perspectiva del traducido) acompaña y modula un pensamiento que tiene menos la figura de un trayecto que de una relación incesante.
Sobre la comunicación a distancia: diseminaciones del archivo de arte correo del Centro de Arte Experimental Vigo
Authors: Galarza Clarisa López , Lamilla Julio
Published: January 2020

Este escrito surge de una revisión crítica de la primera etapa del proceso de ordenamiento y catalogación del acervo de arte correo del artista platense Edgardo Antonio Vigo. A través de las nociones de network (trabajo en red), comunicación a distancia y arte correo, indagaremos en conceptualizaciones y producciones que desplazan o subvierten las redes y los circuitos de consumo del arte del siglo XX, tensionando sus lógicas hegemónicas de circulación. A través de la recuperación de intercambios postales y estrategias de comunicación a distancia, que activaron diversas redes de solidaridad internacionales en contextos de asfixia social, censura y represión, exploraremos las potencialidades de estas estrategias para la construcción de espacios de intercambio y sostenimiento afectivos entre sus integrantes. En este sentido, nos detendremos en el arte correo como la puesta en acto de un apoyo postal recíproco, que narró situadamente y con mínima latencia el acontecer de su tiempo.
Ediciones Los hijos de la teta del ciclón (1991–1993): una comunidad literaria inconfesable
Authors: Tavernini Emiliano
Published: January 2020

En el presente trabajo nos proponemos reflexionar sobre un proyecto de edición artesanal que a comienzos de la década del noventa, reunió a un grupo de poetas hijos e hijas de la militancia perseguida en los setenta. Para eso vamos a analizar lo que Silvia Schwarzböck definió como «los espantos» en las estéticas de la posdictadura, para leer de qué manera las distintas voces recurren a una «estética postparanoica». Luego nos detendremos en las políticas de memoria y en las políticas estéticas que proponen los textos para intervenir en un presente signado por la impunidad para los perpetradores. Consideramos que esta experiencia es relevante para comprender no sólo la emergencia posterior de H.I.J.O.S., sino también las producciones artísticas elaboradas por esta generación, las cuales tuvieron una etapa de aglutinación intensiva a lo largo de la década de los 2000, en cine, artes plásticas y literatura. Además permite reivindicar diversas formas de asociación existentes entre los familiares y una comunidad más amplia, solidaria, en un contexto signado por la «teoría de la reconciliación nacional».

Revolutionary Mexico in Chicago
Authors: Chacón Justin Akers
Published: January 2020

In The Mexican Revolution in Chicago: Immigration Politics from the Early Twentieth Century to the Cold War, John H. Flores illustrates the growth of the Mexican population in 1920s Chicago and how migrant communities situated and organized themselves politically in an often-hostile social environment. Drawing from political experiences in Mexico, Flores identifies and explores the evolution of a Mexican population whose identities and loyalties were shaped and divided by the Mexican revolutionary and counterrevolutionary processes in la patria (the homeland).
Evaluation of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] varieties under water deficit stress
Authors: Kumari Diksha , Chakraborty Dipjyoti
Published: January 2020

Legumes are the most important source of food and fodder but due to climatic changes and global warming; crops are consistently exposed to environmental stresses such as low water shortage, high salinity, mineral toxicity and deficiency, extreme temperatures, etc. Drought is undoubtedly the major constraint limiting plant growth and crop productivity worldwide. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of drought on the growth of plant and productivity in three different mungbean varieties [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] i.e. IPM 02-3, RMG 975 and IPM 02-14. The studied varieties exhibited significant variation in plant height, root length, pod length, pods/plant, fresh weight of shoot, root and nodule, dry weight of shoot, root and nodule, number of leaves/plant, plant leaf area, relative leaf water content (RLWC) and initiation day of flowering. The effect of drought can better seen at the flowering stage and pod development stage that ultimately reduces crop productivity. The deleterious effect of drought in terms of morpho-physiological properties studied as above was more prominent in the variety IPM 02-14 in comparison to RMG 975 and IPM 02-3. It can be concluded that varieties IPM 02-3 and RMG 975 are better adapted to drought condition.
Isolation and characterization of Rhizobium sp. from a collar rot tolerant groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) variety
Authors: Pandey Shalvi , Chakraborty Dipjyoti
Published: January 2020

Groundnut, a major pulse crop, is prone to fungal diseases especially collar rot at seed germination and early seedling stage. In the present study, symbiotic bacteria was isolated and characterised from a collar rot resistant groundnut variety, Mallika and identified as Rhizobium pongamiae following biochemical and molecular characterization (NCBI Acc. No. MK770416). The bacterial isolate on cross inoculation, may be useful in improving crop productivity and enhancing collar rot disease tolerance in susceptible crops.
The Effect of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis on the Efficiency of Large U.S. Commercial Banks
Authors: Mehdian Seyed , Rezvanian Rasoul , Stoica Ovidiu
Published: January 2020

The 2008 financial crisis, originated by securitization of sub-prime mortgage loans, had a huge impact on U.S. financial institutions and markets. We hypothesize that due to this crisis, the commercial banking industry has changed their portfolio structures and risk-taking behavior. To shed light on the response of U.S. banks to the 2008 financial crisis, we use the non-parametric approach to measure and compare the overall efficiency of large U.S. banks pre- and post-2008 financial crisis. We then decompose the overall measure of efficiency into allocative, overall technical, pure technical, and scale efficiency measures to better understand the sources of banking inefficiencies. The results indicate that large U.S. banks indeed changed their portfolios structure, and the efficiency of large commercial banks in the United States declined substantially during the financial crisis. Although it has been recovering since then, it still has not reached to the pre-crisis efficiency level.
The Analysis of the Economic Impact of VAT on the Economic Growth in Southern Europe
Authors: Chiricu Cosmina-Ștefania
Published: January 2020

The Southern Region of Europe is economically well-developed with highly industrialized urban areas and with great agricultural potential. The empirical analysis is based on an econometric assessment that measures the impact of the VAT on the rate of economic growth for years between 1996 and 2017. The empirical evidence highlighted a significant positive impact of VAT on economic growth, but a poor and ineffective use of the tax revenues during the period under review. Moreover, evidence revealed relatively high rates of VAT in the countries analyzed, with negative impact on the aggregate consumption and a diminishing effect of the consumer’s income.
Evaluating the performance of alternative blended learning designs using DEA
Authors: Smirlis Yiannis , Ioakimidis Marilou
Published: January 2020

The extensive demand for blended learning programs imposes the problem of selecting the most appropriate instructional design from amongst a variety of alternatives that may be feasible for a particular program. The decision-making process should consider a number of qualitative factors such as the satisfaction of learning needs, educational efficiency, ease of implementation and total financial cost. In this paper, we propose that Bates’ (1995) e-learning instructional design model ACTIONS, which describes seven qualitative dimensions pertinent to selecting a design, can be used in conjunction with Data Envelopment Analysis to provide a distinct decision-making framework to aid administrators in determining which blended learning programs are the most effective. The first stage in the analysis is to explain which ACTIONS dimensions can be regarded as inputs and which can be treated as outputs for the sake of the decision process, with all seven dimensions being measurable by ordinal scores assessing the expected performance of alternative designs. In the second stage of analysis, we use Data Envelopment Analysis with ordinal data to obtain an overall expected performance index that is able to discriminate the designs most efficient and most suitable for implementation. The methodology is illustrated by an example. Discussion and Conclusions follow.
From the Handicap Principle to Brand Strategy – Are Gender Equality Practices And CSR Related?
Authors: Rozental Carmit Moshe
Published: January 2020

There is increasing interest in determining the impact that employment of women in management positions may have on corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. Various authors suggest that gender equality practices should be factored into the broader framework of CSR. Public policy could adopt an ethic that strengthens the moral commitment to social involvement of men and women alike, and expresses public responsibility for women’s experiences in both the public and private spheres. Following this logic, the research question for the present article is: What marketing strategy factors can be utilized by women to influence their attainment of senior managerial positions?

This article deals with the qualitative stage of a mixed method study that will answer the research question. The aim of the qualitative research design is to examine attitudes toward motivational factors and the environment that affect the strategic marketing of women to management positions. The research tool is a semi-structured in-depth interview, followed by a content analysis of data from transcripts. The research population includes ten women of different ages presently employed in managerial positions in Israel’s Ministry of Education. Future research directions and managerial implications are derived from this qualitative study.

Last Lovers by William Wharton in the opinions of seniors
Authors: Wieteska Magda
Published: January 2020

The issues of old age, once neglected in terms of reflection and research on this period of life, in recent years took on another dimension. With the growth of the elderly population in the world, gradually more attention is paid to issues related to improving the quality of life of seniors. Of particular interest are those aspects of life that have a direct impact on the sense of well-being of the elderly, namely: family, health, finances. The aspect of health is however considered mostly in the context of an overall psychophysical fitness, access to health care, adequate pensions enabling the purchase of medicines, rehabilitation, etc. In contrast, they less frequently deal with issues related to sexual attractiveness of the seniors and their erotic needs. Old age still does not go hand in hand with the sexual appeal. Elderly women are seen as unnecessary, invisible. They are not perceived as being able to evoke sexual desire. This social reception affects the senior women’s perception of themselves. In the eyes of a community an elderly woman may still be attractive intellectually, but not physically. Stereotypes built around the old age also assume that people in late adulthood have no sexual needs
Sapere aude. About the contribution of elderly people to cultural life
Authors: Meynen Daniel
Published: January 2020

Nicolaus Copernicus is shown as an ideal of senior students. He represents all the intellectual qualities that we connect with the spiritual movement of the Enlightenment. This movement has led to the unfolding of the sciences with all its good and bad consequences, to the appearance of natural rights and religious tolerance. The modern concepts of education, civil rights and the development of a critical general public are not conceivable without the ideas of the Enlightenment. But the idea of Enlightenment has shown more and more clearly two different faces during its development: One is showing the enlightenment of human beings concerning the environment they are part of and the other is showing the enlightenment about themselves. Both will be comment on. Without doubt we are in need of a new Enlightenment. It should teach us to  trust our own spiritual capabilities, to look for a critical exchange with other minded people and other cultures, to create communities of free thinking people and to create protected public spaces for critical thinking
Support of active ageing through P2P learning
Authors: Baschiera Barbara , De Meyer Willem
Published: January 2020

Personal development throughout the course of life is at the core of several important policy documents that have shaped European cooperation in economic, social and educational sciences over the last decade. The paradigm of Lifelong Learning implies learning at any age of life and underlines the importance of achieving continuous knowledge and self-care.Pedagogy has started taking into account the age of older adults only in recent years.The European project we are going to illustrate sought to test how well peer to peer learning can be useful to define new training and learning models for older adults.The HiHtaST (Hand in Hand to a Social Tomorrow) project provides an example of peer to peer learning among older adults.We provided training for adult learners to teach IT among other older adults as a means for social inclusion in five European countries. Each country had 20 learners / trainers who had other older students in turn.Multiple choice questionnaires and focus groups were used to collect data.The project was run in the theoretical framework of active ageing, considering the paradigm of Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development and co-construction of knowledge.The project results showed that adults can acquire knowledge in peer to peer group situations with no drop-outs especially when learning real and practical tasks, which suggests that peer to peer learning works better than a frontal class in formal as well as non-formal or informal situations.
In searching for science understanding. Applying the sociology of a science based approach
Authors: Jedlikowska Dorota
Published: January 2020

The paper discusses the chosen ongoing perspectives related to science understanding based problems. Science is viewed, following Robert Merton, as a functioning institution. Social context plays a significant role in defining the possibilities of developing science. The question arises how a functioning institution can be effectively analyzed and which perspectives can be implemented. Hence this paper’s goal is to reveal some ways of exploring science understanding. Consequently the paper touches the scientific discourses upon science discussing its academic functional ethos and on the other hand tension between bureaucratization and openness in science. More broadly how far science is democratized in an academic interaction.

The proposition of examining the problem of the quality of science as an institution is to grasp two perspectives: first, the formal perspective, related to the legal field and its rationality and second, followed by Adele Clarke known as “situatedness”. The idea of joining formalization with situatedness can be regarded as an embodiment within John Meyer and Brian Rowan’s concept of an institutionalized organization. Hence science understanding is defined as a complex functioning institution escaping from a modern version of science into many postmodern ad-hoc made sciences.

The paper’s intention is to provide problems and proposition of solving them through applying an integrating perspective

The author has undertaken a research indicating, the evolving modes of the youth’s social functioning and the diagnosed symptoms of their social maladjustment have been captured and researched by the author of this paper.
The Sovietisation of Romania, 1946-1948 – the first two years behind the curtain of propaganda
Authors: Groza Cristian Alexandru
Published: January 2020

Dogmatic discourse and institutionalized control build a totalitarian state on two main pillars: propaganda and indoctrination. Our study analyzes the phenomena of cultural mimesis and ideological transplantation inside the Romanian communist system. The periphery and centre represent concepts that help us in the process of constructing our cultural theory about the propaganda system and its evolution during the years before the abolition of the monarchy, 1946-1947. The study is based mainly on archive documents. Therefore, we followed up the chronological paths in which the propaganda was used as an external weapon, and also as an internal indoctrination.
The Role of Experts in a Democratic Society
Authors: Cerovac Ivan
Published: January 2020

Democratic procedures are characterized by the equal status of all citizens participating in the decision-making process. This procedural fairness represents one of the central aspects of democracy's legitimacy-generating potential and should not be rejected or weakened. However, citizens specialize in different areas and inevitably some citizens become more competent (i.e. become experts) regarding some political issues. Democratic procedure would loose much of its appeal if it would be unable to take advantage of the experts' knowledge. In this paper I follow Kitcher and Christiano in embracing a form of division of epistemic (and political) labour - citizens and their political representatives should deliberate and set aims the political community is to pursue, while experts and policy-makers should devise means (laws, public policies and political decisions) needed to achieve the aims set by citizens. However, citizens should not blindly trust the experts - their epistemic authority is derivative and social and academic networks and structures should be employed in order to enable citizens to assess and evaluate experts' competence, but experts' impartiality regarding the issue at hand as well. Consequently, the process should not be unidirectional: experts should be able to help citizens select feasible and coherent aims, while citizens should be able to help experts in creating policies and decisions. Deliberative democracy is an appropriate political setting for this kind of bidirectional communication.
Teaching and researching stage speech (connecting theory and practice, science and art)
Authors: Milojević Nina Žavbi
Published: January 2020

The article deals with teaching and researching stage speech on the supposition that researching stage speech influences how we teach stage speech. Stage speech is an artistic speech that researchers try to study and explain in a scientific manner, i.e. with scientific terminology and methods. Modern studies of stage speech are interdisciplinary (they combine phonetics and theatre studies, literary theory and history, sociology, etc.) and no longer just studies on a stricly linguistic (phonetic) level. The article shows a model of a scientific and interdisciplinary study of stage speech and its influence on or connection to how it is taught. The teaching of stage speech, which is shown on the example of students of Stage Acting at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television, balances between science and art as well as between theory and practice. The article demonstrates that researching stage speech influences the teaching that is also interdisciplinary, based on artistic and scientific concepts and constantly combines theory and practice.
THE INTERDEPENDANCE BETWEEN ATTRIBUTIONS AND SECOND LANGUAGE ATTAINMENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Gosiewska-Turek Bogusława
Published: January 2020

Affective factors are undoubtedly considered to be vital in second language acquisition. Among these factors attribution theory is of primary significance, as it affects learners’ final achievement. It indicates that people attribute various causes in their lives to their success and failure.

With the employment of attribution theory, this study examines Polish secondary school adolescent students’ attributions for success and failure in second language learning. The main purpose of the study is to investigate, whether Polish secondary school students’ attributions have an impact on their achievements in second language acquisition. In order to conduct the study, the researcher administered attribution questionnaires to the students and an achievement sheet to the teacher to fill in with students’ semester grades in English. Then the data obtained from the questionnaires and the achievement sheet were correlated.  The results show that successful students are more likely to attribute their success to internal facets such as ability and effort and unsuccessful learners attribute their lack of success to external factors, among which task difficulty or luck could be enumerated.
Subjective-personal readiness of correctional teachers to education of ASD children
Authors: Ostrovska Kateryna
Published: January 2020

ASD teachers require skills that go beyond the realm of most educators including professional competences and high moral qualities.

In the work theoretical approaches and experimental research on the problem of subjective personality readiness of correctional teachers in the education of ASD children are carried out. The psychological investigation has been conducted including measurement of psychological indices of 40 teachers of ASD children from the boarding school "Trust" and 40 teachers from mainstream schools of Lviv city aged from 28 to 59 years. The following methods are used: "Questionnaire for the measurement of tolerance" (Magun, Zhamkochyan, Magura, 2000); "Shein’s Career Anchors" method aimed at studying the career orientations of the teachers (Shein, 2010); “Diagnostics of empathy level” (Viktor Boiko, 2001); method of study “Motivation professional activities” by Catelin Zamfir in a modification of Artur Rean (Bordovskaya, & Rean, 2001).

Based on the provided studies a program for development of subject-personality readiness of the correctional teacher to work with ASD children is proposed. The program consists of the following components: motivational component (professional competence, self-development, self-determination, self-control); cognitive component (intellectual personality autonomy, self-identification, stability, challenge, integration of lifestyles); emotionally-volitional component (empathy, positive attitude toward a child, intellectual analysis of emotions, self-regulation).
Listening in Older Second Language Learners: The Teachers’ Perspective
Authors: Słowik Agata
Published: January 2020

There are various theories, strategies and techniques regarding teaching different language skills. At the same time, as practice shows listening remains the most challenging skill for the educators to teach effectively and for the learners to master. Moreover, both the learners and their teachers have their own, not infrequently rather disparate, subjective theories, as well as learning and teaching preferences. Older adult learners are a peculiar case as they are a very diverse group, aware of their needs and cognitive abilities. At the same time, their teachers are unfortunately often unaware of these needs and do not adapt the materials to suit their students. The aim of this paper is, thus, to present the opinions of the teachers of older adult students and to provide basis for future research.
Empowerment and its implementation in the process of counteracting the phenomenon of youth and adult social exclusion – report on participation in an international project under the 2014-2016 Erasmus + Strategic Partnership project
Authors: Jarczyńska Jolanta , Walczak Bartłomiej
Published: January 2020

The aim of the article is to describe the empowerment process and its implementation in social work in the context of counteracting social exclusion in youth and adults based on the example of the project carried out in the years 2014-2016, titled: “Development of the empowerment of educators and beneficiaries in the field of youth at risk and social exclusion”,  co-financed from European Union funds within the Erasmus + programme, Action 2: Strategic partnership of professional teaching and training, Grant No. 2014-1-FR01-KA2026-008728. The English language concept category of empowerment, which does not have a satisfactory equivalent term in the Polish language, was operationalised in this article. The essence of empowerment in the context of social work was described in the article, pointing to its significance mainly in the scope of counteracting the process of youth and adult social exclusion. Furthermore, the main assumptions of the implemented international project were set out in the ambit of the development of the empowerment of educators as well as of beneficiaries working with persons at risk of social exclusion, and the relationship and reflections of one of the project participants were also shown. An attempt was made in the article on the basis of the experiences gathered within the performance of the international research project to assess the course of the empowerment process and its usefulness in searching for solutions for educational practices in the domain of the social exclusion phenomenon.
Chinese education in the novel by A. Chua Battle hymn of the tiger mother

Chinese culture and tradition stand in direct opposition to American and European cultures. Chinese children must live according to the principles of metaconfucianism from an early age. Failure to do so threatens social ostracism.Amy Chua in her autobiographical novel Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes the education of her two daughters living in America according to the principles present in China. The educational methods used by Chua are considered controversial by western parents. The author made an attempt to explain the motives of Asian mothers.
PEDAGOGICAL EXCELLENCE IN AN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION TEACHER – RESEARCH SUMMARY
Authors: Szkolak-Stępień Anna
Published: January 2020

In the given article I deal with the problem strictly connected to depicting a master in an occupation of an early stage teacher. The fundamental assumption here is that gaining and developing certain professional teaching competences is equal to the prospective occupational development of a teacher, who, on the other hand, is depicted by his career. And this is the way to their pedagogical mastery. The matter I deal with became the starting point to the empirical researches run in both rural and urban environments. 529 teachers, whose professionalism was evaluated on the basis of their self-esteem, and assessed by 101 school directors and also the assessment run by methodological advisors with the reports on evaluation, took part in this research. The results of this empirical documentation constitute the basis for the quantity and quality analysis of the index determining the level of the given pedagogical competences and their factors. On the basis of which it was possible to formulate the picture of an early stage teacher- the master in their occupation.
Social influence and student choice of higher education institution
Authors: Krezel Joanna , Krezel Z. Adam
Published: January 2020

This conceptual paper discusses changes in higher education sector, growing competition as a result of new private education providers and the adoption of student-as-customer perspective in recruitment and marketing of higher education institutions. The paper reviews numerous models of student choice and identifies inconsistencies in the role of social factors in the student choice. These inconsistencies are of special importance in current higher education landscape and growing prominence of peer-to-peer communication via social media. Consequently, a thorough understanding of influences that effect student choice of higher education institution is imperative. This conceptual paper puts forward a conceptual framework that integrates Kelman’s processes of social influence and Cialdini-Goldstein’s  goals that underpin the acceptance of that influence to examine the effects social context has on student choice of higher education institution.
Keynesianism vs. Classical Economic Theory: European Refugee Crisis and the Fall of Multiculturalism
Authors: Patonia Aliaksei Igor
Published: January 2020

Posing arguments against statistical evidence picturing the European Union as the key world economy, the research views the economic model of the EU through the prism of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, explaining its lower resistance towards the global economic crisis and comparing it to China – a country with authoritarian governmental methods – that suffered to a significantly lesser extent. Based on the example of these two entities, the paper views the topic of the current refugee crisis in Europe representing it as a new crucial trial for the EU that potentially checks classical economic theory for consistency. According to the author, if found effective, in the foreseeable future it will form a sound basis for further development, if not – it will likely be replaced by the Keynesian paradigm. Thus, with the current refugee crisis in Europe, the author juxtaposes liberal economy with the state-regulated one. This is done to give hints at the importance of the crisis per se, as it is believed to be capable of shattering some of the fundamental principles of the current world order.

The purpose of this study is to determine the needs of gifted individuals by  developing a curriculum which considers their educational needs. In the scope of this study, interviews were made with ten parents using the Snowball Sapling Method. The questionnaires used in the interviews were prepared in a semi-structured manner in light of variables determined from the literature on the subject . Interviews were made by  two researchers. The two researchers assessed data obtained separately; and thus, codes of study were obtained. Themes were formed according to common components of the codes. Three main themes were formed on needs analysed in light of data obtained from the  literature on the topic. These themes were  “Characteristics of Gifted Individuals”; “School and Expectations from It”; and “Being Parents of Gifted Individuals”. These themes were separated into sub-themes.The parents explained “different behaviour patterns of their gifted children”, “characteristic of their children” and “situations their gifted children like/do not like” in the “Characteristics of Gifted Individuals” theme.The  “School and Expectations from It” theme consisted of two sub-themes, which were  “satisfaction of parents with  school”, and “expectations of parents from school”. In the “Being Parents of Gifted Individuals” theme, the parents explained, “their concerns ”, “their regrets”, “the difficulties they have with their children”, and “their complaints”. Results of this study led to initialising a curriculum development study for gifted children which is based on their characteristics and needs.

Published: January 2020

Cultural intelligence is described as the ability of a person to behave adequately in culturally diverse environments. It involves comprehending the effects of cultural background on the attitudes of people for auspicious participation in any social setting. Cultural intelligence may be positively and significantly correlated with professional well-being among English as foreign language (EFL) teachers. So, the present study sought to investigate the correlation between Turkish EFL state school teachers' cultural intelligence and their professional well-being. A sample including 120 EFL state school teachers completed two questionnaires: (1) Cultural Intelligence Scale developed by Cultural Intelligence Center (2005); and (2) the Scale of Teacher Perception of Professional Well-Being developed by Yildirim, Arastaman and Dasci (2016). The results of the study indicated significant correlations between Turkish EFL state school teachers' cultural intelligence and their professional well-being. This study may help English Language Teaching (ELT) departments to implement materials to their curriculum for aiding EFL teachers in terms of developing cultural intelligence.  Furthermore, this paper makes a unique contribution to the area of cultural intelligence by identifying whether there is a relationship between cultural intelligence and professional well-being.

Authors: Naudžiūnienė Akvilė
Published: January 2020

The topic of the Holocaust is a relatively new issue in Lithuanian historical education – only with the regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1990 did Lithuanians have a chance include the  Holocaust theme into the main school curriculum. Of course, its development through the first two decades have not been steady and even – in the beginning of the creation of the new educational system the Holocaust did not receive so much attention as in later years with the relation to integration with the European Union (2004) and development of historical studies on the Holocaust within the Lithuanian academic community. This article aims to analyse the representation of the Holocaust in Lithuanian educational system during the first two decades after Lithuania regained its independence. So the main basis of empirical data will be all history textbooks for Lithuanian school education (from the 5th grade to the last, 12th grade) published in the period of 1992-2012, and educational programmes presented by the State`s Ministry of Education and Science. In order to objectively evaluate the Lithuanian situation regarding Holocaust education the article will discuss and compare the main trends of Holocaust education development in neighbouring countries, which also suffered from Holocaust and could not freely speak about the issue during the Communist regime.
A Study of the Understated Violence Within Social Contexts Against Adolescent Girls
Authors: Nigam Shivangi , Soperna Niranjana
Published: January 2020

Violence against women is linked to their disadvantaged position in the society. It is rooted in unequal power relationships between men and women in society and is a global problem which is not limited to a specific group of women in society. An adolescent girl’s life is often accustomed to the likelihood of violence, and acts of violence exert additional power over girls because the stigma of violence often attaches more to a girl than to the  perpetrator. The experience of violence is distressing at the individual emotional and physical level. The field of research and programmes for adolescent girls has traditionally focused on sexuality, reproductive health, and behaviour, neglecting the broader social issues that underpin adolescent girls’ human rights, overall development, health, and well-being. This paper is an endeavour to address the understated or disguised form of violence which the adolescent girls experience within the social contexts. The parameters exposed under this research had been ignored to a large extent when it comes to studying the dimension of violence under the social domain. Hence, the researchers attempted to explore this camouflaged form of violence and discovered some specific parameters such as: Diminished Self Worth and Esteem, Verbal Abuse, Menstruation Taboo and Social Rigidity, Negligence of Medical and Health Facilities and Complexion- A Prime Parameter for Judging Beauty. The study was conducted in the districts of Haryana (India) where personal interviews were taken from both urban and rural adolescent girls (aged 13 to 19 years) based on  a structured interview schedule. The results revealed that the adolescent girls, both in urban as well as rural areas were quite affected with the above mentioned issues. In urban areas, however, due to the higher literacy rate, which resulted in more rational thinking, the magnitude was comparatively smaller, but the difference was still negligible.
