One of the world-recognized practices of modern higher education is the application of problem-based and project-based approaches to teaching STEM-disciplines. In case of integration of problem-based and project-based learning, the educational process is organized around the problem to be solved by students and stimulates them to find optimal strategies for solving, and project activities are chosen as a way of organizing work. The article describes the ongoing experience of implementation of project-based STEM-courses "Hydro- and Gas Dynamics" and "Applied Mechanics and Fundamentals of Design", which is part of training of engineering students of 151 Automation and Computer-integrated technologies speciality at the Bohdan Khmelnytskyy National University of Cherkasy during 2017-2019 academic years. The impact of problem-based and project-based approaches to teaching STEM-disciplines on the formation of professional and general competencies of future engineers had been analyzed. The dynamics of changes of personal and interpersonal skills of junior students during the teamwork on mono- and multidisciplinary projects had been studied. The case study method was chosen as the general research method, which corresponds to the number of research participants and the active role of researchers in the educational process. The results of surveys developed using the 5-point Likert scale, demonstrates that students mostly positively evaluate the projects and teamwork. The possibility of self-grouping, which made possible to form teams based on common interests and promote freer and more natural communication within the team, was the important factor of positive perception of project work. The disadvantages of the implemented approaches include the difficulties that manifested itself at the stage of students' planning of the project process. One of the reasons for this is the lack of previous experience in the realization of students' team projects. The introduction of multidisciplinary projects made it possible to optimize the workload of students working simultaneously on a project in two disciplines and increase the motivation to study the disciplines of the STEM cycle.
Using games during online English classes in Zoom (based on author’s personal experience)
Authors:   Kharkiv Specialised School № 11, Shokarova Nataliia Serhiivna
Published: January 2021

The article is dedicated to adapting traditional games in English lessons to using them during classes on Zoom video conferencing platform, based on the author's own experience. The development of technology in the modern world allows us to take our classes beyond our classrooms and to conduct them where we consider it convenient. This makes it possible not to stop the learning process even in the context of a pandemic or under some other conditions that prevent our students from attending traditional classes. Using Zoom to learn and teach English also provides new opportunities to turn the ordinary tasks we are used to during our classes into unusual ones. Games occupy an important place in the process of mental development of pupils at different levels of language acquisition. They entertain, help to revise and recycle vocabulary, improve grammar skills, tune in for a lesson, etc. At the same time, distance learning in the spring of 2020 in Ukraine showed the need to use technologies and the Internet during the educational process, which in its turn led to the need to find optimal conditions for studying in order not to interrupt it in the circumstances of a world pandemic. Excessive use of technology has negative effects on pupils. In such conditions, games become not only a tool for learning, but also a means of achieving maximum result with minimal fatigue of students. The author of the article adapted 4 games and tested their effectiveness during distance education of pupils of Kharkiv specialized school #11. These studies in adapting games, which can be used in Zoom, can be continued as they make online English lessons interesting and productive. There are many other games that can be adapted during online learning.
Language Adaptation of Turkisms in English

Published: January 2021

One of the most important indicators of the adaptation of Turkic borrowing in English is their allocation in different dictionaries of English (explanatory, etymological, phraselogical), as well as their use in different works of fiction. Linguistic contacts manifest themselves in the interaction of linguistic, cultural and historical factors and represent an essential process in intercultural communication. Turkic lexical elements, actively used in various languages as a language mechanism, require special attention. A comparison of different languages shows that borrowing is a universal fact of language, the linguistic essence of which allows to determine the absolute or relative chronology of their entry into the system of different languages. Turkisms closely related to the lexico-semantic system of the recipient language expands the body of language units of English and other languages, indicating the paths of penetration and the degree of adaptation. This takes into account the patterns of lexical and phonetic potential of the language. Turkic borrowing includes not only Turkic words, but also lexical elements of Arabic and Mongolian, Persian, Tatar, Uzbek, Kazakh origin, which have penetrated English through many Turkic languages and have been reflected in English lexicographic sources. Turkism thus refers to words included in English from Turkic languages or through Turkic languages regardless of the source of the mutual relationship, i.e. words having a Turkic stage in their history.

THE THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE COMPONENTS OF AN INDIVIDUAL’S TOLERANCE TO STRESS
Authors:   Donetsk Law Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Kohut Oleksandra
Published: January 2021

The article presents the theoretical and empirical study of the structure of tolerance to stress. The system of tolerance to stress was the study object. The study subject was the psychological patterns of an individual’s tolerance to stress and its development. The author describes the mechanisms of self-regulation at stress in the system “individual – personality – individuality - over-personality”. The following techniques were used for the empirical study: “Mini-mult” test of V.P. Zaitseva to identify distressing personal traits; H. J. Eysenck’s test to determine types of temperament; E.Heim’s technique examining the adaptability of coping strategies used by people; patrol police officer were examined with the author’s questionnaire “Examination of personal tolerance to stress”. The author identified the action mechanisms for each component of tolerance to stress: psychophysiological, emotional, cognitive and volitional. Correlations were determined between the components of the studied system. Thus, the psychophysiological component is the basis for development of other components of tolerance to stress. Correlations among an individual’s temperament, character, coping strategies and free will were demonstrated in the theoretical and empirical research. The determined components of tolerance to stress are interdependent, they complemented each other in an integrated system: one is possible due to others. Psychophysiological self-regulation was possible due to developed regulative capabilities of the autonomic nervous system. The emotional component of stress tolerance correlated with physiological and socio-cultural needs that motivated an individual to avoid or overcome obstacles. The emotional component can be regulated due to the feedback mechanism. Such feedback makes a system stronger, pushes it toward changes corresponding to already existing direction of an individual’s movement aimed to overcome difference between the actual and desired systemic states. The balanced feedback pulls into the opposite direction to restore a lost balance. It stabilizes the system and prevents new changes. The cognitive component in the structure of stress tolerance had its mechanisms of cognitive regulation: assimilation and dissimilation, encouraging appearance of new personal traits. Self-regulation as a stress overcoming act is possible due to an individual’s volitional qualities. The volitional mechanisms for stress tolerance are: persistence and meaningfulness, objectivity and integrity. The further research will include development of a program for stress tolerance improvement.
EMOTIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A FACTOR OF EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF MILITARY UNITS: THE ANALYSIS OF FOREIGN RESEARCH
Authors:   Research Center for Humanitarian Problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lagodzinsky Vitaly
Published: January 2021

The article purpose is to present the theoretical analysis and determine how to use military personnel’s emotional intelligence skills for management of a military unit. We used theoretical research methods: the analysis of theoretical sources discussing service members’ leadership formation based on the concept of emotional leadership, a comparative analysis of the reviewed theoretical materials. Foreign authors’ works devoted to emotional intelligence and emotional leadership among military personnel were analysed. The basic principles of a leader’s emotional intelligence were revealed, which meant a leader’s capability to use emotional intelligence in order to improve the managing efficiency for military units. A number of issues that need to be addressed were identified, namely: influence of military leaders’ emotional intelligence skills on post-traumatic stress overcoming and mitigating of negative consequences associated with a psychological trauma; influence of leaders’ emotional intelligence on military unit management and relations between military personnel’s emotional competence, leadership attributes and technical and tactical skills; programs for assessment and development of service members’ emotional intelligence and emotional leadership in order to improve unit management by control over service members’ emotions, other people’s emotions and groups’ emotions and implementation of such programs. The study results has confirmed that service members’ emotional leadership skills should be developed to improve unit management efficiency, since such skills are necessary for management, emotional leadership improves management skills at all, social responsiveness and interactions with a team.
THE RESEARCH ON RELATIONS BETWEEN UNIVERSITY LECTURERS’ REFLECTION AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL SELF-CREATION
Authors:   Khmelnytskyi National University, Podkorytova Larisa , Sema Larisa ,   Khmelnytskyi National University
Published: January 2021

The article formulates the concept of university lecturers’ professional self-creation based on the theoretical analysis of scientific works and determinate the importance of reflection for their professional self-creation. The results of the performed empirical study on university lecturers’ reflection and its importance for their professional self-creation are presented. The following techniques were used: A. Karpov’s method examining reflexivity, D. Leontyev’s test “The differential type of reflection”, the method examining self-development and professional pedagogical work (L. Berezhnova, modification and adaptation by L. Podkorytova), the method examining an actualized need for self-development, the short scale for self-actualization. The examined university lecturers had average reflexivity (according to A. Karpov), general reflection, quasi-reflection and introspection (according to D. Leontiev) and high systemic reflection (according to D. Leontiev). The obtained results partially confirmed our hypothesis that lecturer’s reflection is average: it was really average in the terms of reflexivity, introspection and quasi-reflection, but high in the terms of systemic reflection. The lecturer’s had an average or higher desire for self-development and quite successfully implemented it, the respondents showed mostly high self-actualization. As for the identified problems in the studied sample, lecturers underestimated their personal qualities. The correlation analysis was applied for the studied indicators. A direct (positive) correlation was determined between university lecturers’ reflection and professional self-creation. Reflection, in general, contributed to lecturers’ professional creation, especially to the fulfilled need for self-development and self-creation. Systemic reflection was especially important for self-creation and self-development. We have substantiated and presented an art therapy program to develop university lecturers’ reflection. The program consisted of 10 lessons and contained art therapeutic exercises proposed by V. Kokorenko, L. Lebedeva, L. Podkorytova. The art therapy developing university lecturers’ reflection was chosen due to its following features: deep reflexive nature, resourcefulness, richness of metaphors. Further research are seen in increased sample volume and number of used psychological examining tools to clarify links between university lecturer’s reflection and their self-esteem, self-attitude, value system; to study analogues links characteristic for other professional groups; to approbate the developed art therapy training and to conduct a forming experiment to clarify a role of reflection in university lecturer’s professional self-creation.

CDK2AP2 is a differentially expressed gene in human metastatic breast cancer, in the brain and in the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that CDK2-associated protein 2, encoded by CDK2AP2, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. CDK2AP2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of CDK2AP2 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of CDK2AP2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain while evading immune clearance in the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

A model for focussed small-group workshops in mathematics
Authors: Bailey Toby , Kinnear George , O'Hagan Steven , Reynolds Ruth , Wheeler Reuben
Published: January 2021

This document sets out a model for focussed small-group workshops in mathematics. The purpose of the model is to support students to complete challenging (for-credit) assignments to a high standard. The model consists of a pattern of activities where students work on problems before and after a live session. The preparation is a way to maximise the benefit of live sessions. We begin by describing the standard model that has been used for small-group workshops for several years in the School of Mathematics at The Univerisity of Edinburgh before going on to describe the focussed model in detail. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we assume the model is being implemented entirely online. However, there is no need for the model to be implemented online; we think it would work just as well after a return to on-campus teaching.
Revisi tugas remedial KEJADIAN KEKURANGAN ENERGI KRONIK (KEK) PADA WANITA USIA SUBUR (WUS) DAN IBU HAMIL.doc
Authors: Ramadhani Nur Indah
Published: January 2021

Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK) masih menjadi permasalahan di Indonesia. Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK) adalah kondisi ketika seseorang mengalami kekurangan gizi yang berlangsung menahun (kronis) sehingga menimbulkan gangguan kesehatan (Prawita et al., 2017). Wanita dan anak-anak merupakan kelompok yang memiliki risiko paling tinggi mengalami Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK). Saat ini Kekurangan Energi Kronik (KEK) menjadi perhatian pemerintah dan tenaga kesehatan, karena seorang wanitas usia subur (WUS) yang mengalami KEK memiliki risiko tinggi untuk melahirkan anak yang juga akan mengalami KEK di kemudian hari. Disamping hal tersebut, kekurangan gizi menimbulkan masalah kesehatan morbiditas, mortalitas, dan disabilitas, juga menurunkan kualitas sumber daya manusia (SDM) suatu bangsa. Dalam skala yang lebih luas, kekurangan gizi dapat menjadi ancaman bagi ketahanan dan kelangsungan hidup suatu bangsa (Paramata & Sandalayuk, 2019).
Stability and change in major life goals during the transition to parenthood
Authors: Wehner Caroline , van Scheppingen Manon A. , Bleidorn Wiebke
Published: January 2021

The transition to parenthood introduces changes in various life domains. In this paper, we examined whether and to what degree the transition to parenthood is related to changes in the importance of major life goals. To do this, we examined the rank-order stability, ipsative stability and mean-level change in six life goal domains (achievement, power, variation, affiliation, altruism, and intimacy) in a sample of 248 parents and 294 individuals in a romantic relationship without children across two time points. Overall, we found high rank-order (variable-oriented) and ipsative (person-oriented) stability, and little evidence for mean-level changes in the importance of life goals across the transition to parenthood. However, we found several selection effects suggesting that women without children tended to endorse agentic life goals (variation and achievement) more than mothers did. Generally, our findings underline the overall stability of life goals and their role as guiding principles in life.
Ideological mate-guarding: Sexual jealousy and mating strategy shape support for female honor norms
Authors: Gul Pelin , Kupfer Tom
Published: January 2021

Feminine honor dictates that women should cultivate a reputation for sexual purity via behaviors such as dressing modestly and maintaining virginity before marriage. The dominant explanation for people’s support for feminine honor is that female infidelity threatens male partners’ honor. Beyond this, the literature affords little understanding of the evolutionary and psychological origins of feminine honor. We propose that feminine honor functions as an ideological form of mate guarding that is shaped by sexual jealousy and mating strategy. Two correlational studies (N = 892) revealed support for predictions derived from this ideological mate guarding account. In Study 1, dispositional jealousy and mating strategy (more monogamous orientation) predicted male participants’ support for a mate’s (especially a long term mate’s) feminine honor. Moving beyond mate preferences, in Study 2 male and female participants’ dispositional jealousy and mating strategy predicted support for feminine honor of women in general. Results applied beyond masculine honor norms, religiosity, political conservativism, and age. These findings enhance understanding of the origins and maintenance of feminine honor and related norms and ideologies that enable control over women’s socio-sexual behavior.

Socio-Cultural Dynamics of Pre-School Education in Nepal
Authors: Rupakheti Ritu
Published: January 2021

The article ‘Socio-Cultural Dynamics of Pre-School Education in Nepal,’ explores the increasing trend of the Early Childhood Education (ECE) system in Kathmandu Valley, which is shaping the perspective of people on education, and in turn, the ways people’s attitude is reshaping this emerging ECE trend. The gradual breakdown of the conventional education approach and adoption of new system is in the liminal stage. Unplanned introduction of such education borrowed from different cultural contexts seems to generate a complex, and sometimes conflicting response from society. The fieldwork of this paper was carried out at Ravibhawan of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. Two Montessori-based pre-schools from the Ravibhawan area were chosen for this purpose. It follows the anthropological inquiry with descriptive and exploratory approach. Participant observation and the narratives of the informants constitute the basis of primary information. Both key informant interviews, and informal discussions are employed to explore the emic perspectives of the concerned. Government documents and other relevant literatures are the source of secondary information. Purposive sampling is the main basis of informant selection.

This paper finds that there is a complicated and much-embedded relationship between pre-schooling, and the existing socio-cultural contexts of the communities. Several factors including the notion of family, gender roles, economic and social status, and the increasing global connectivity seem to be in complex interaction to influence the final choice of the parents. This study is a contribution towards the anthropology of pre-school education in Nepal. Despite the increasing importance of pre-school education, and its increasing trend in Nepal, anthropologists seem to be less interested in exploring this field.
Teaching / Editing
Authors: Solga Kim
Published: January 2021

I had my first formative experience of editing long before I became an editor myself. It was the early 2000s, and I had turned a particularly well-reviewed course paper on Mother Courage and Her Children into an article at the suggestion of one of my professors. Friends and mentors told me to aim high for a start, so off the paper went to Theatre Journal (revised, of course, but not actually edited—as I soon discovered). A few weeks later I got a lovely rejection letter from then-editor David Román. He wrote very kind things, but the upshot was crushing: he was not prepared to send this one out for peer review.
An Informal Assessment of Twenty-First-Century Skills Developed Through Hidden Curriculum in Theatre Studies
Authors: Carolan Claire
Published: January 2021

Arguably more than any previous generation, students graduating from university programs in the twenty-first century need a comprehensive repertoire of essential skills for their rapidly evolving world. Undergraduate theatre training offers a wide range of those skills. In response to Glen Nichols’s prompt for the CATR panel discussions, I conducted an informal assessment of skills that are generated in Canadian theatre programs (2017) based on an available 1994 rubric for “Arts Education Standards and Twenty-First Century Skills.” 1 Analytical reasoning, information literacy, invention, self-direction, collaboration, and technological integration are examples of the competencies developed through effective undergraduate theatre studies programs; however, they are often the “hidden curriculum” (Jackson) little recognized by theatre educators and university administrators. There are limiting factors in the successful mining of the hidden curriculum for the benefit of our students including a lack of adequate teacher training for existing and incoming faculty (Pagen 223). Notwithstanding these factors, undergraduate theatre programs can provide a forum for the development of necessary skills for the twenty-first-century student.
The Lesbian Rush: Making Time in The Magic Hour
Authors: Newman Laine Zisman
Published: January 2021

Through a close analysis of the temporal shifts in Jess Dobkin’s The Magic Hour, this article considers how a refusal to submit to a gendered expectation to rush, might offer not only a means of illuminating the disciplining logic of normative temporality, but also provide a performative space of healing and resistance. Grounded in theories on queer trauma and queer temporality, Zisman Newman introduces a concept of the “lesbian rush,” to consider how those with less support must multitask and rush to achieve economic stability and perceived success. Part of the work that naming this rush commits to is revealing how conceptualizations of “straight time”—a temporal logic invested in reproductive futurities and naturalized milestones—is both heterosexist and patriarchal; that is to say, straight time is not just straight, but also androcentric.
What Zombie Feminist Bouffons Can Offer Applied Theatre: Seduction and Provocation in Death Married My Daughter
Authors: Yasmine Kandil , Macarthur Michelle
Published: January 2021

Starting from applied theatre scholar Adrian Jackson’s assertion that a combination of seduction and provocation is crucial to the success of authentic intervention in theatre for social change, this article looks outside of traditional Forum Theatre for a model of this practice. Using Danya Buonastella and Nina Gilmour’s bouffon clown show Death Married My Daughter as its case study, this article draws on scholarship in the areas of applied theatre and feminist theory to examine what audience engagement and intervention might look like in the unsettling times in which we live. The performers’ use of bouffon seduces and provokes their audience in order to elicit empathy for the characters, expose the presence of neoliberal and postfeminist ideologies in women’s lives, and implicate their audience in a project of socio-political change. The article concludes by suggesting what applied theatre practitioners could learn from theatre that does not require direct intervention in the action on stage but nevertheless pushes the audience out of a comfortable, passive spectatorship.
“The snow is a moving shroud”: Still Stands the House and Murder on the Canadian Stage
Authors: Scott Shelley
Published: January 2021

In exploring Still Stands the House by Gwen Pharis Ringwood, Scott considers how a particularly gendered experience of the Canadian landscape finds expression in a murderous act by a woman. The act of murder can be a powerful theatrical device for reflecting, on stage, a Canadian reaction to the experience of being embedded in a hostile environment. The play provides a fascinating case study for the convergence of gender roles, violence, geography, and climate, and springs from the perspectives and concerns of Alberta settler-colonial farm families in the early twentieth century. The theories of Northrop Frye and Margaret Atwood have been challenged by subsequent critics and by the changing realities of Canadian society and literature, and many of their assumptions thoroughly problematized by colonial and Indigenous studies. But, keeping these crucial criticisms in mind, Scott argues that some of Frye’s and Atwood’s key concepts can still prove applicable to the imaginative world of Ringwood’s play, and are therefore useful for understanding its impact and continuing status in the Canadian dramatic canon. By realistically evoking the hardship of the time and the isolation of the settler farmer lifestyle, Ringwood makes the harsh environment an active character in the drama and, by linking the violence of the environment with the violent act of her character, Hester, Ringwood suggests something intrinsically brutal behind the rhetoric of the pioneer spirit and the settler experience in Canada.
Review of revues
Authors: Forsyth Louise
Published: January 2021

This review deals with the four journals having a focus only on theatre and the performing arts in Québec: Jeu. Revue de théâtre, Annuaire théâtral. Revue québécoise d’études théâtrales, Alt. theatre. Cultural Diversity and the Stage, Aparté. Arts vivants—recherche et création. Each of the journals has its range of critical approaches, practical and theoretical interests, unique readership. Together they provide specific information, as well as an overview, on what has been going on recently in theatre, performance, and the many other living arts in Quebec. I am hoping that this review will be an instrument for listening to probing critical perspectives, dynamic creative initiatives, commentaries, and critiques on the challenges faced by theatre in contemporary society. I offer an idea of some of the exciting new theatrical work in Quebec, innovative theoretical approaches, and the most urgent current issues, spilling vigorously onto public spaces, that are currently preoccupying members of performing arts communities and their critics.
The State of Internet-Assisted Language Learning (IALL) Knowledge among English Major Students in a Yemeni Public University
Authors: Abdulwahab Abdulmajid Mohammed , Zubairi Ainol Madziah , Tunku Ahmad Tunku Badariah , Nordin Mohamad Sahari
Published: January 2021

The research aimed to examine the state of Yemeni English major students’ knowledge of Internet-assisted language learning (IALL). Two types of knowledge were assessed, i.e. subjective knowledge and objective knowledge. The study also sought to examine differences in these two types of knowledge among students by gender and discipline of study, and whether subjective knowledge and objective knowledge were significantly correlated. Simple random sampling was used to select a sample of 598 English language students from education- and non-education study programs of a Yemeni public university during the 2017 academic year. Data were collected using two separate instruments: a self-developed IALL questionnaire for objective knowledge, and an adapted subjective knowledge scale. Descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests and bivariate correlation were carried out with SPSS software Version 24. The results show a moderate level of perceived IALL knowledge, but lower levels of actual knowledge on various aspects of IALL, particularly with respect to tools mostly used for oral language practices, such as Skype, Busuu.com, Live Mocha and SharedLingo. Gender influenced perceived knowledge – with female students reporting significantly higher knowledge levels – but not objective knowledge, while discipline of study influenced both knowledge types in favor of students pursuing non-education degree programs. A significant but inverse relationship was discovered between subjective and objective knowledge. The results emphasize the need to start focusing on adopting IALL tools by English learners in universities across Yemen.
Keywords: Internet-assisted language learning, IALL tools and resources, perceived knowledge, objective knowledge, Yemeni university students
A Case Study of How Malay ESL Learners Build Vocabulary Using Multimedia Technology
Authors: Ahmad Nasaruddin Nur Sakinah , Mohd Kamalludeen Rosemaliza
Published: January 2021

This study explored the process of how Malay primary ESL learners build English vocabulary using multimedia technology. With this purpose, students’ choices of multimedia technology tools and the reasons behind the choices were investigated. The qualitative approach was employed in this study by conducting semi-structured interviews with three Malay primary school students aged 12 years old from a public school in Kuala Lumpur. The findings revealed that the students chose three main types of multimedia tools namely audio, audio-visual, and video games. The participants revealed three reasons behind their preferences of the multimedia tools which are acquisition of additional information, presence of visuals, and convenience. It was also found that the process of vocabulary-building using the preferred multimedia tools can be organised into four stages namely (i) first encounter, (ii) cognitive dissonance, (iii) establishing equilibrium, and (iv) remembering. The findings suggest English teachers to include multimedia tools in the teaching of vocabulary because it facilitates the process of vocabulary building among students as the words are learned in context and enhanced with visuals.

The Responsibility to Prevent Future Harm
Authors: Affolter Laura
Published: January 2021

Through the example of legal resistance to mining in Ecuador, this article explores the shift towards suing states rather than corporations. Key to ongoing resistance struggles is the allocation of preventive responsibility to ‘the state’ through the filing of constitutional lawsuits. I show how both the shift from the ‘politics of space’ to a ‘politics of time’ and a shift in the imaginary of the state contribute to claims of responsibility being increasingly directed at states. The article inquires into the effects of the temporal reversal from assessing past harm (and ruling retrospectively) to assessing the likelihood of future scenarios in order to prevent future harm. Finally, I address the limits of such allocation of responsibility, showing that while constitutional lawsuits are political attempts to challenge the government’s economic programme and disrupt the logic of global capitalism, many powerful policy-shaping actors remain beyond the law’s reach.
Response to my critics

Anna Beckers and Ioannis Kampourakis have formulated sophisticated critiques of ‘The Great Shell Game’, and I have learned a great deal from this exchange. Some of their criticism can be answered by clarifying the terms of the debate, which I do briefly below. I wish, however, to maintain the general thrust of my argument, and even to double down. With my title, I make an analogy between CSR and the confidence trick played by street operators who move pennies quickly between plastic cups and ask the assembled crowd to bet on where they end up. This game depends on skill but also on fraud, the operator working with a shill to mislead the audience. I suggest that as academics we must make sure that our sophistication does not place us in the role of the shill—preventing the public from noticing that corporations pocket the pennies.

In Ukraine, coronary heart disease is still occupying the first place in the structure of the causes of death and primary disability (22.8%), and the incidence of myocardial infarction among people of working age is 48.9 per 100 thousand. The aim of this study was to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and prevention of complications in patients with acute coronary syndrome (myocardial infarction) and concomitant metabolic syndrome by including L-carnitine and L-arginine to the integrated therapy. The study involved 71 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with ST-segment elevation and concomitant metabolic syndrome. Among the 37 individuals who were prescribed a course of cytoprotective therapy additional to the standard drug therapy according to the protocol of the Ministry of Health, formed a test group. The control group consisted of 34 patients who only received standard protocol treatment with corticosteroids (MI). The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was verified according to the ESC recommendations (2017). Diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MS) was established based on the recommendations of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF, 2016). It was found that due to the integrated therapy including L-arginine and L-carnitine, the patients with ACS (MI) and concomitant MS achieved a significant improvement in central cardiohemodynamics and the restoration of vascular endothelial function that was often accompanied by the following complications of corticosteroids (MI) as reperfusion arrhythmias and blockades and acute heart (left ventricular) failure. The patients with acute myocardial infarction and concomitant MS demonstrated pronounced deterioration of morpho-functional parameters of the heart, and namely the development of its post infarction remodelling with subsequent impairments of systolic and diastolic heart function and the development of heart failure and endothelial vascular dysfunction. A mixture of L-arginine and L-carnitine added to the standard therapy significantly reduces the incidence and severity of complications of acute MI such as reperfusion arrhythmias and acute left ventricular failure.

The treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis is one of the important and is still not completely solved problems of modern dentistry due to its high prevalence and the number of complications, which may follow the treatment. Long-term asymptomatic course of chronic forms of periodontitis promotes the progression of destructive processes not only in periodontal tissues and alveolar bone, but also stimulates the resorption of cementum and the root dentin, which causes the formation of the acquired wide dental root apex. This prompted the search for new and more effective methods of the treatment. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the effect produced by calcium hydroxyapatite-based composition based on the intensity of regenerative processes in bone tissue in the experiment, analyzing the results of calcium-phosphorus metabolism, and to study the effectiveness of the treatment of patients with chronic granulating periodontitis with an acquired wide tooth root apex using the developed composition, and then to compare with the results of using the generally applied mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) material. All animals were divided into 4 experimental groups, and the modelled destruction of their bone tissues was filled with the studied material, except for the comparison group. The test animals were killed on 14th and 90th days of the experiment. The content of calcium and phosphorus in the bone tissue homogenate was investigated. Then we divided 59 patients into two groups: the experimental group, in which the apical part of the tooth root was filled with the proposed calcium hydroxyapatite-based composition for revitalization and bioreparation of periapical tissues, and the comparison group, in which the jaw bone defects were filled with the MTA material. On the 14th day, the largest (1.8-fold) decrease in calcium and phosphorus ions was observed in the 2nd experimental group, while in the 4th group it was 1.3 time lower. On the 90th day, the content of calcium and phosphorus ions was still lower than in the control group in 1.6 and 1.5 times, respectively, and in 4th group in 1.01 and 1.1 time. Analysis of the treatment results of patients in 6 month therapy has demonstrated a decrease in the value of the SDVP index in the experimental group in 1.4 times, and in the control group in 1.1 time. In 12 months the experimental group demonstrated the 1.9-fold index decrease, while the comparison group had only 1.4-fold lowering of this value. We have demonstrated experimentally, clinically and radiologically that the proposed composition is more effective in promoting the processes of biorevitalization and regeneration of periodontal tissues compared to the generally applied MTA material.

Introduction. In recent years, we have observed tremendous transformations in the pedagogical process due to the introduction of modern information technologies. Medical education requires high-quality, up-to-date world-class training and continuing professional development. The purpose of this work is to analyze the experience of using distance learning forms for intern doctors in the specialty "Emergency Medicine". Results and discussion. The Department of Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine has created an information and educational domain providing the storage, updating and exchange of various educational information that include the website of our department website and the ZOOM platform. The main types of training are: lectures, seminars, practical classes, consultations and independent work. Independent work is provided by the using educational materials that interns receive via the Internet. Interactive communication is also done via e-mail, the Viber platform. The elaborated types of control enable to assess the initial and intermediate levels of knowledge gained through the learning process. Having evaluated the results of distance learning in interns, we can conclude the interns do demonstrate satisfactory level of theoretical knowledge, but their level of practical skills have been assessed as unsatisfactory. This encourages searching for new forms of distance learning. Thus, distance learning of interns in the specialty "Emergency Medicine" is an effective alternative form of theoretical knowledge acquisition. Improving the methods of conducting online classes helps to improve the assimilation of theoretical material. 3. However, since the doctors in the field of «Emergency Medicine» are clinicians, distance education can not be considered a priority, but only as one of the elements of training.
