AIM: To improve the standard three-port vitrectomy for establishing and evaluating an endotamponade model in rabbits.
METHODS: Three ports were prepared near the third eyelid of rabbits, and the infusion port was placed at the inferior nasal quadrant with the inserted cannula linking with a self-designed handheld rigid infusion catheter. All right eyes of rabbits underwent a modified 25-gauge vitrectomy and were subsequently filled with balanced salt solution, silicone oil, and eight-arm polyethylene glycols (8-arm PEGs) hydrogel separately for comparison. Ophthalmic examinations were performed regularly to record the changes after the surgery.
RESULTS: Successful vitrectomy was achieved among 44 chinchilla rabbits. The mean operation time was 4.51±1.25min. Four eyes (9.1%) presented limited lens touch and two eyes (4.5%) showed retinal touch during surgery. Incision leakage was found in three eyes (6.8%) after surgery. There was no endophthalmitis, hemorrhage, or retinal detachment during the observation period and ophthalmic examinations after the implantation of vitreous substitutes.
CONCLUSION: The modified technique of the standard vitrectomy applied in the endotamponade model in rabbits shows excellent safety and practicality.
El islam ante los tratamientos de reproducción asistida: un estudio empírico sobre la relación entre ciencia y religión en Tánger y Barcelona
Authors: Martínez-Cuadros Rosa
Published: September 2023

En las últimas décadas hubo un desarrollo significativo de técnicas de reproducción asistida que ayudaron a parejas con dificultades a tener hijos. Estas técnicas han sido bien recibidas en diferentes partes del mundo, y los países musulmanes no han sido una excepción. Desde la perspectiva teórica de la socióloga Michèle Lamont basada en las fronteras o “boundaries”, en el año 2022 se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 20 profesionales de la salud y líderes de asociaciones musulmanes de Tánger y Barcelona, con el objetivo de analizar, en primer lugar, cómo actores claves musulmanes conciben la relación entre islam y ciencia y; en segundo lugar, cómo se negocia esta comprensión en el caso de los tratamientos de reproducción asistida. Se concluye sobre la complejidad de la delimitación de fronteras en las definiciones de ciencia y religión, y se destaca la importancia de centrarse en casos empíricos para comprender mejor la compleja relación entre los dos ámbitos y entender los debates bioéticos existentes.

FRONTIER DYNAMICS IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATIC CHANGE
Authors: Ivanova Svitlana
Published: September 2023

Climatic changes (aridization) in the Early Bronze Age allowed the population of the North-Western Black Sea coast to use natural resources in a greater volume than before. On the one hand, steppe ecosystems were such resources. The expansion of the steppe zone and its transformation stimulated the development of cattle-breeding economy. Therefore, part of the agricultural Late Tripolye population chose to change territory (relocation to the Northwestern Black Sea coast) and switch to a new for themselves economic and cultural type (mobile cattle breeding) to overcome the crisis situation.
In our opinion, the analysis of the archaeological sources and the cultural and ecological situation indicate that the North-Western Frontier can be attributed to the cattle-breeding type. Taking into account the analysis of the colonization attractors and the relations between the newcomers (Yamna culture) and the local population in the zone of the Balkan-Carpathian Frontier, we can conclude that it belongs to the trade type.
Apparently, the population, having advanced from the North-Western Black Sea coast, built peaceful relations with its partners, organically fitting into the context of the communities of South-Eastern Europe. Consideration of interrelations of the Yamna culture population with the autochthonous population demonstrates the multivariance of contacts and the absence of uniform norms and scenarios. Each micro-region had its own peculiarities, which do not indicate the replacement of the local population by aliens.
The conclusions of geneticists about the total migration of the Yamna population to Central and Southeastern Europe, which led to the replacement of genetics and the formation of new cultures, can be refuted not only in terms of archaeology, but also in the framework of the frontier theory. The starting point of the frontier is the meeting of different communities and the interaction between them, which leads to processes of transformation. This is why understanding the frontier as a process allows researchers to move from its spatial localization to the social aspect. The theory of the frontier opens wide prospects for historical and archaeological research.
TO THE QUESTION ON REFLECTION OF ROMANIA AND TRANSNISTRIA SIGNIFICANCE FOR THE HISTORY OF EASTERN EUROPEAN JEWS IN THE AMERICAN PRESS PUBLICATIONS IN 1940s
Authors: Novikova Liudmyla
Published: September 2023

This article covers the content of information about the place of Romania in the 1920–1940s and Transnistria in the history of Eastern European Jews, which was published in predominantly English language materials in a number of American newspapers in the 1940s, such as «Românul American», «The Southern Jewish Weekly», «Evening Star» and «Detroit Evening Times».
The purpose of the study is to determine the structure of the newspaper narrative regarding the place of Romania in the 1920–1940s and Transnistria in the history of Eastern European Jews, contained in the mentioned newspaper publications.
As a result of the study, a conditionally holistic information narrative on the isignificance of Romania and Transnistriain the history of Eastern European Jews in the 1920–1940s was reconstructed in publications of a number of American newspapers, which spread in mass opinion.
The main components of this English-language narrative are following: in pre-war Romania was an increased influence of official actual anti-Semitism; this was of particular importance given that Transnistria was predominantly a zone of Romanian administration during World War II; the plight of Jews in Romania and Bukovina during the war; cases of non-Jewish support for Jews; brutal deportations of the Jewish population from Romania, Bukovina, Bessarabia (sometimes also Moldavia, which regarding changes in the characteristics of Bessarabia and Bukovina) to Transnistria; domination of the atmosphere of fear of the possibility of deportation to Transnistria among the still undeported Jews; manipulation by the Romanian government of the Jewish population through this fear; the plight of Jews, the Holocaust in Transnistria; repatriation to Romania and migration to Palestine as the «historical homeland» of Jews deported during the war to Transnistria.
According to some materials, this narrative had not only an exposing anti-Nazi purpose, not only appealed to the public support of Jews who had experienced repression, deportation and the Holocaust, but also had to serve to preserve the democratic worldview of the Romanian minority in the United States (most of the used publications were contained in the newspaper «Românul American»).

As a rule, graduates of the historical faculty of Odessa State University named after II Mechnikov in Soviet times rarely received a second education. In those years, the profession of historian allowed to work in various fields without being rigidly tied to the list of job responsibilities. However, sometimes there were conditions when a new position required new professional knowledge and at the written request of the institution the person received a referral to a new higher education institution. Among such historians was a 1973 graduate Valery Dmitrievich Varzatsky.

Wheat production in Bangladesh faces to the detrimental effects of biotic and abiotic stresses that have been exacerbated by climate change. The development of short duration, high temperature and disease tolerant wheat variety is the most importance to produce higher yield combating the deleterious effects of the stresses. Some wheat lines (line was expressed by E) were evaluated at the different research stations of Bangladesh Wheat and Maize Research Institute (BWMRI) and farmers’ fields in consecutively three years under irrigated timely sowing (ITS) and irrigated late sowing (ILS) conditions. The days to heading (DH), days to maturity (DM), plant height (PH), spikelet spike-1 (SPS), grain spike-1 (GPS), thousand grain weight (TGW), and grain yield were depicted comparatively higher in ITS and ILS than ITS, but the severity of Bipolaris leaf blight (BpLB) and blast diseases were exhibited lower in BAW 1194 (E9) line than check varieties and other lines same conditions (BAW = Bangladesh Advanced Wheat). Those phenotypic and yield contributing characters, and BpLB and blast diseases were also observed lower in ILS than other genotypes.  Further, E9 exhibited the lower percentage of yield loss in the ILS compared to ITS than check and other genotypes indicated its high temperature tolerance. In addition, E9 exhibited relatively higher grain yield than other genotypes in the candidate variety demonstration and multiplication yield trials. Therefore, BAW 1194 line may be released as a short duration, tolerance to high temperature and BpLB, and moderately tolerance to blast disease wheat variety to accelerate wheat production.

A dimensão inclusiva das cooperativas em Portugal
Authors: Martinho Ana Luisa
Published: September 2023

Debido a su naturaleza, a saber, la combinación de objetivos sociales y económicos en favor del interés general, así como a su ideología, las organizaciones de la economía social, incluidas las cooperativas, son especialmente adecuadas para cumplir las directrices del trabajo digno e integrador. Este artículo ilustra, mediante un estudio de caso, el papel integrador desempeñado por las cooperativas de solidaridad social en Portugal. El análisis en profundidad de una cooperativa que se dedica a la inserción sociolaboral de personas en situación de vulnerabilidad, nos permitió comprender las metodologías utilizadas para acompañar a estas personas. También identificamos los retos y las estrategias adoptadas para lograr mejor la integración de las personas acompañadas. Concluimos que, a pesar de la falta de una forma jurídica específica que enmarque el trabajo de las cooperativas dedicadas a la integración de personas alejadas del mercado laboral regular a través de actividades productivas, existen prácticas de facto.

Bacterial infections can be serious and require antibiotic treatment. However, the overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of antibacterial resistance, which can make infections more difficult to treat. This is a serious problem in Mexico, where published research on antibiotic resistance is limited. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial infections at the Hospital General del Estado in Hermosillo, Mexico. Information was collected from 2,205 biological samples registered in logs belonging to the hospital microbiology area, on bacterial cultures with antibiograms from patient samples. These data were obtained from the VITEK system, which provided information for the identification of the bacteria, their resistance, and sensitivity to antibiotics. Escherichia coli (28.8 %), Staphylococcus aureus (11.5 %), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.8 %) were the most isolated bacteria. The highest prevalence of resistance was found against beta-lactam antibiotics. This study revealed that antibiotic resistance is a serious problem at the Hospital General del Estado. These findings highlight the need for further research and publishing information on antibiotic resistance in Mexico to design or redesign strategies to prevent and control this problem.

Published: September 2023

Este artículo analiza la relación entre el nivel de formación doctoral y la producción científica en el contexto de América del Sur (2010-2019), particularmente comparando a Colombia con Chile por sus condiciones similares en producción científica. Los resultados de la revisión estadística y documental reflejan que los doctores en Colombia están concentrados en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), mientas que en Chile lo hacen en la industria. Para ello, se realiza un análisis exploratorio y descriptivo de fuentes oficiales y artículos, tomando como referencia Scopus, calculando variables e indicadores relacionados con la productividad. Esto evidencia que los esfuerzos que han hecho los países y sus gobiernos van en aumento; sin embargo, esto no parece ser suficiente dado que el número de artículos por doctor es inferior a 1. De esta manera, se aporta a la discusión sobre la pertinencia de la política pública, enfatizando en la utilidad de la formación del capital humano y sus implicaciones científicas y de desarrollo.
For What and For Whom is Camping in America?: A Review of Camping Grounds
Authors: Nilsen Ryan
Published: September 2023

Phoebe S. K. Young’s Camping Grounds: Public Nature in American Life from the Civil War to the Occupy Movement offers a history of the varied, at times conflicting reasons that Americans have set up camp and what their practices reflect about their evolving relationships to the natural world, their society and their government. With sections covering topics from the Grand Army of the Republic and John Muir, tramping and the loop campground, the National Outdoor Leadership School and activism, her work considers the economic, cultural, and political forces that have given rise to many of the major reasons and ways that diverse groups of Americans have pitched tents and set up camp. She challenges practitioners and scholars to consider more how the identities of who is camping and their motivations have mattered a great deal to how their practice has been perceived by the public, the government, and other campers.
Typical technological operations in repairing dents on the PCM honeycomb structures
Authors: Golovina E.S. , Khairullin A.R.
Published: September 2023

Products made of composite materials are widely used in all areas of mechanical engineering. As a rule, such materials are applied in aviation in manufacturing the airframe components. Damage to the composite components (dents) is possible during manufacturing process, storage and operation. The known techniques to repair dents on components made of the composite materials have significant drawbacks, such as decrease in strength and aerodynamic characteristics of the components at the repair point, increase in its mass, etc. Proposals were developed to improve the known repair methods. The updated repair technique was considered using the example of the honeycomb skin structures made of the epoxy matrix and a filler of carbon or glass fabric and honeycomb core of the polymer paper. The described technologies for the honeycomb structures repair would make it possible to restore the original strength, aerodynamic and other important characteristics of the repaired component or the assembly unit. Having the necessary equipment and using the described technological processes, it becomes possible to repair a structure without removing it from the aircraft, which would reduce costs and the repair cycle.
Certain dynamic features of the “tripod” type parallel structure mechanisms at the singular positions
Authors: Romanov A.A. , Demidov S.M. , Gavrilina L.V. , Chernetsov R.A. , Lastochkin A.B.
Published: September 2023

The paper considers a three degrees of freedom mechanism, which output link is oscillating in vicinity of the singular positions. Various types of the mechanism motion are observed depending on initial conditions, mass of the output link and feedback coefficients of the drives. In particular, transition through a specific position (singularity) could take place. Translational drives of such a mechanism are positioned along the edges of a pyramid formed by the tripod kinematic chains. Axes of the drives converge at one point, i.e. at the output link center. The entire mass is concentrated in the output link (working body). In turn, entire elasticity of this mechanism is determined by the linear actuators. Dependence between the oscillation frequency and the initial conditions could be of interest. By setting the output link initial position closer or farther from the equilibrium point, different laws of the output link motion could be obtained. In particular, the specified link is able to pass through singularity. By changing the output link initial position height, different frequency of the oscillatory process could be received. Thus, there appears a dependence of the oscillation frequency on the amplitude.

Prognostic value of hemostasis system indicators in patients with a traumatological profile when taking anticoagulants
Authors: Zamyatina K. N. , Gaikovaya B. L. , Shpakov M. M.
Published: September 2023

Objective. To assess the state of the hemostasis system and the risk of hemorrhagic complications in patients before and after hip replacement while taking anticoagulants. Patients and methods. The study included 85 patients, 46 women (average age 62.8 ± 8.95) and 39 men (average age 55.1 ± 14.3) who were in the Clinic of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the I.I. Mechnikov NWSMU for planned hip replacement. All patients received rivaroxaban or apixaban at doses specified by Russian Clinical Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolic complications. Retrospectively, in the postoperative period, the patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 — 78 patients (42 women and 36 men) who had no hemorrhagic complications after hip replacement, and group 2 — 7 patients (4 women and 3 men) who had hemorrhagic events in the form of hematoma in the wound area. All patients underwent laboratory tests before surgery, on the first day and on the 10th day after arthroplasty. The laboratory study included the determination of hemostasis parameters (PT in seconds, PT % activity, APTB, Fibrinogen, D-dimer), the concentration of rivaroxaban or apixaban in blood plasma, molecular genetic study of the polymorphism of the G(-455)A gene. Results. When assessing the traumatic factors of surgical intervention in patients with hemorrhagic complications, the volume of blood loss is significantly higher (p = 0,001) compared with cases of uncomplicated course. Minor hyperfibrinogenemia (Me 5,18 g/l) before surgery was detected in group 2 patients. A statistically significant increase in fibrinogen concentration (p = 0,006) occurred in patients on the background of surgery and is associated with traumatic factors of surgery. There was an increase in the concentration of fibrinogen and the level of D-dimer above the reference values on the 10th day after endoprosthesis, but no statistically significant differences were observed in both groups. The concentration of rivaroxaban in the blood was within the therapeutic interval throughout the entire observation period, and apixaban was higher than the therapeutic dose in the group of patients with complications on the 1st day after surgery, while thrombosis and bleeding were not found in patients. Conclusion. Hyperfibrinogenemia in patients in the preoperative period and after surgery may be an additional factor in the development of postoperative complications. Determination of the concentration of rivaroxaban and apixaban in blood plasma using an automatic chromogenic test allows you to evaluate their anticoagulant effect.

The article presents the distinctiveness of the Polish country against the
background of the European country. The author uses a term of a model hoping
that it will enable to distinguish the features of country – general and universal
ones and to describe them within the framework of selected contexts and relations.
The authority of Władysław Grabski (1874–1938), the father of the rural
sociology in Poland, opened a way to reflections on the country, whereas the
Europe 2020 strategy closed them in a dimension that is common for Poland and
other European Union countries.

interrogation procedure by the police, Harla sustained a spinal injury. After
World War II in the late 1940s, Harla, disappointed by the Polish People’s Republic
system, backed away from active political life. Harla is bracketed together
with outstanding popular poets. In his work Harla expressed the misery, injustice,
anguish and physical pain that peasants living in Polish villages felt. Through his
poems readers may picture the magical, beautiful Polish countryside of the time.
In the verses, the author considers the evanescence of human life and asks questions
about the sense of active participation in the history. In spite of everything,
throughout his life Harla was devoted to the idea of agrarianism and the people’s
movement.
Management System for the Fattening Process of Bovines in Rotational Grazing using Diagnosis and Recommendation Systems
Authors: Garcia Rodrigo , Benitez Charles , Aguilar Jose
Published: September 2023

Cattle breeding has been one of the most important industrial sectors in the world since it is related to food security and the survival of the human race. Management of the cattle fattening process is a fundamental procedure for cattle breeders because it allows them to make strategic decisions, such as timely treatment in case of any abnormality (e.g., weight gain in herds, in their paddocks). This article aims to present a management system for the cattle fattening process under a rotational grazing scheme, considering the health status of the animal and the pasture, which should diagnose weight loss or gain in bovines and recommend actions when is required. The diagnostic process is based on a fuzzy system that defines rules that characterize the diagnostic process to determine the current situation given an input. Furthermore, the fuzzy classifier optimizes its rules by means of genetic algorithms by modifying its membership functions, providing a more accurate system for diagnosis. On the other hand, the recommendation system is based on a classification model of pasture crops, in which the best pasture is recommended given the soil variables. We tested our proposal with experimental cases, with promising results. For the fuzzy classifier, the accuracy metrics are very good, with values of accuracy close to 100% and of Area Under the Curve close to 1. For the classification model were used several machine learning techniques, resulting in the best classifier the random forest technique, with an accuracy of 98.61%.
The New Antireductionism: Its Components and Its Significance
Authors: Gunter Pete A.Y.
Published: September 2023

Beginning in the 1970s and culminating in the first two decades of the 21st century, there has been a marked shift in the sciences from a predominantly reductionist and mechanistic approach to a broader and more holistic viewpoint. It goes without saying that such a shift in point of view will have significant implications, not only for the sciences but for our concepts of nature and of human beings. The present essay is an attempt to assess the significance of this change in the focus of the sciences and to describe the nature of its components. Originally, it had a far more limited scope, that of comparing two of the parts of the new nonreductionist stance: brain plasticity and biological systems theory. Unfortunately, my understanding of one of these factors (systems theory) turned out to be incorrect, while the section on brain plasticity was incomplete. The result of this dual realization is an essay of far greater scope, taking in both new developments in the sciences far beyond that of plasticity, and reassessing the content and impact of systems theory, which is greater than I had thought. I will begin with a study of systems theory, dealing first with the unexpected mathematics which made its present status possible. Then I will deal with its history, which reaches back over a century. One of the confusions into which we are liable to fall is to fail to distinguish the old systems theory from the new. This is even more likely because the two versions of the theory have many features in common.
Koncepcja systematyczności nauki Paula Hoyningena-Huene a psychologiczny kryzys teoretyczny
Authors: Stawski Filip
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this paper is to address the problem of the theoretical crisis in psychology from the perspective of the concept of systematicity of science proposed by German philosopher Paul Hoyningen-Huene. In the first part, I analyse the main assumptions of the idea of systematicity and outline the problem of theoretical crisis in psychology. According to the assumptions, the crisis in psychology may be related to problems with systematicity in some dimensions of psychology. Finally, I consider whether in psychology, basing explanations on the mechanistic strategy of explanation, which is an increasingly popular strategy in the philosophy of social sciences, could strengthen the systematic nature of psychology in the indicated dimensions.
Od logiki Łukasiewicza do idei implikacji ważonej. Epistemologiczne przesłanki za przyjęciem wielowartościowości logicznej jako odpowiedź na tezę Suszki
Authors: Kośny Bartosz
Published: September 2023

In this paper I argue that logical multivalency is necessary for epistemology and has desirable structural properties. In support of this claim, I discuss the nonclassical logical values from an epistemological point of view. The question addressed is how many logical values logicians and philosophers need. Two standpoints are usually adopted regarding this issue: the fundamentality of bivalence and the necessity of multivalence. The first position, supported by Suszko, is summarized in the statement that due to the very nature of logic, bivalency is all we need. The second position, motivated by research practice which requires making inferences under imperfect conditions, admits the multivalence. In the first part of the article, I focus on the very first manyvalued system L3, invented and explored by Jan Łukasiewicz. I recount the critique of L3, and then discuss Suszko’s thesis and Malinowski’s response. I also analyze the epistemological background of the Suszko-Łukasiewicz controversy which was related to the relation between logic, antirealism and externalism. I conclude fundamentalism regarding logical bivalence generates more problems than the adoption of multivalency.

Authors:   Derzhavin Tambov State University, Khodaev Aleksey S.
Published: September 2023

The relevance of specifying the correlation between the concepts of virtual, information, digital, media, cyber, Internet and online socialization is substantiated. We analyze the latest scientific research with various author's concepts regarding human socialization on the Internet. Based on the various approaches of this phenomenon, three main types of definitions can be traced: as a smooth entry of an individual into the system of social relations on the Internet, as a person’s spiritual development within the framework of being on the network, or as a process of assimilation of cultural norms through the Internet. In the analyzed approaches, socialization on the Internet is considered either partially (virtual approach), or as part of another type of socialization (media-, cyber-, information, digital), so we analyze the content of concepts and present characteristics of Internet socialization and conclude its place in relation to the considered concepts.

Authors:   Derzhavin Tambov State University, Popova Irina V.
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to select effective means of increasing the motivation for learning among foreign students and their widespread use in educational activities. The materials for the preparation of this study were the documents regulating the process of evaluating the educational activities of students, scientific works on this problem, as well as the author's own long-term observations in the course of pedagogical activity. As a result of the study, we conclude that one of the effective tools for increasing motivation for learning is a point-rating system. The practice of using the point-rating system in groups of foreign students proves its understanding and acceptance by foreign students, confirms its effectiveness as a means of enhancing learning activities, increasing motivation for constant self-control, and personal responsibility of students for learning outcomes in the discipline. For the first time we carry out an actual analysis and generalization of the results of the application of the point-rating system in groups of foreign students with the discipline “Russian Languag” as an example. The value of the work is due to the contribution to the popularization of the results of the introduction of educational technologies in the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language. The obtained results are applicable as a component in further research on the selection of tools to increase the motivation to study among foreign students and the search for new methods and means to increase the effectiveness of educational activities in groups of foreign students.

The foreign language communicative competence of high school students is formed within the framework of an interdisciplinary educational approach, the main principle of which is the principle of integration. The methodological justification for solving the research problem is the interaction of sociocultural, communicative-activity, personality-oriented, cognitive approaches with the dominance of an interdisciplinary approach. This research defines the importance of developing foreign language communicative competence among high school students on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach, presents pedagogical conditions that contribute to the process of forming a foreign language communicative competence of high school students based on an interdisciplinary approach, identifies criteria and determines the levels of development of foreign language communicative competence among high school students based on an interdisciplinary approach. approach. The results obtained in the form of lesson plans and conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the interdisciplinary approach in English lessons in a general education school, aimed at the formation of foreign language communicative competence, can serve as the basis for identifying the level of formation of foreign language communicative competence of students, as well as creating teaching aids based on interdisciplinary approach in teaching foreign languages. We describe the effectiveness of integrated lessons, the stages of work for developing a lesson, the essence of which is the implementation of interdisciplinary connections.

Published: September 2023

The aim of presented empirical research is the revealing specifics of volunteers' motivation of different age (on the example of young and old age). We consider the main national and foreign works devoted to the study of volunteers' motivation of the elderly in detail. For older people volunteering is a significant activity, contributing to their inclusion in the changed society and development of communication. This topic is relevant, as there are few works devoted to elderly volunteers in national psychology and most of them are made within the framework of sociological research. In research was attended by 40 respondents, including 20 volunteers of young age and 20 older volunteers. Methods of the study: motivational personality profile by S. Ritchie and P. Martin; O.F. Potemkina's test (altruism/egoism, process orientation/result); diagnostics of level of polycommunicative empathy (I.M. Yusupov); also the author's questionnaire for understanding activity and volunteering experience was developed. As research suggests motivation of volunteers of young age has an egoistic orientation and the following motives: material encouragement, variety and change, creativity. Motivation of elderly volunteers has altruistic orientation with following motives: empathy, useful and interesting work. This conclusion was confirmed by means of statistical processing of data by Mann–Whitney U-criterion. The results of the study can be used in psychological support of elderly volunteer activities, as well as for the involvement of young people in volunteer activities.

Published: September 2023

The issues of self-realization of the individual in the pedagogical environment remain relevant for many years due to dynamic processes of modernization and transformation of social and economic systems. We consider the methodological and theoretical grounds for the formation of teachers' readiness for self-realization in professional activities. As a methodological base, presented integrative concept combines traditionalist, collectivist and personal approaches. The theoretical grounds for solving the stated problem are dialectical patterns and the principles of formation of teachers' readiness for self-realization in professional activities, considered as instrumental phenomena given in the categories of the chosen pedagogical concept. In general, the stated principles (continuity, neo-collectivism, andragogy, contextually, interactivity) are based on the logic of the self-realization process and represent the relationship between external factors and internal conditions for the formation and development of a teacher in a professional environment. The carried out scientific analysis of the issues of formation of teachers' readiness for self-realization in professional activity allowed to form a theoretical and methodological system capable of assessing the phenomenon under consideration and the possibilities of its further development.

Published: September 2023

In this paper, we present and reflect on using scenarios and role-plays as an effective approach to engaging in the often complicated conversations about student-faculty/staff partnerships, particularly those involving the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). Students as co-developers of pedagogical processes, as well as co-researchers in SoTL, has become an increasingly valued practice in higher education institutions around the world, one that promises to be transformative in its pursuit to break down the traditional hierarchies and establish more democratic and equitable relationships between faculty/staff and students. While there is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates the value of creating spaces and processes to enhance teaching and learning, it can be challenging to know how to develop and implement partnership in SoTL. How do we actually do it? Many of us need guidance for where and how to get started, how to build effective partnerships, how to work through difficulties, how to share our experiences, and how to invite others into this practice. Informed by our own experiences of engaging in pedagogical SoTL partnerships and drawing upon materials developed for a conference workshop we delivered at the 2019 International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL) conference, we argue that scenarios and role-plays, when informed by the principles of Scenario Based Learning (SBL), are effective tools that help explore partnership experiences of faculty/staff and students. We offer considerations for how readers can adopt and adapt scenarios in their contexts and invite further research on the ways SBL contributes to SoTL and partnership.
