Ideological Impact on Social-Economic Development of the Region of Tusheti (Georgia) after WWII
Authors: Lekaidze Tamar
Published: February 2021

The paper deals with one of the highland regions of Eastern Georgia - Tusheti, which represents a geoeconomic and ethnocultural phenomenon from a scientific and worldview perspectives. The research sheds light on ideological influences on the socio-economic and the cultural situation of Tusheti from the 1930s to the present day, a number of shortcomings and consequences of Soviet economic reforms, and on its backdrop. The Tush people, uncontented with the system joined an anti-Soviet organization linking the idea of Georgia's independence to the European countries. The centuries-old model of life based on communal relations, setting up on the democratic principles (the right to private property, equality, freedom of speech) was destroyed by Soviet ideological pressure. These principles naturally merged with European values. For centuries, Tusheti, placed in the geostrategic area was of great importance not only for the security of the region, but it also was a natural bridge in connecting the Eurasian cultures. Its strategic importance was particularly increased in the post-Soviet period. The contours of the geostrategic location of this region was revealed exactly in this period. The importance of the sustainable development of Tusheti has transcended national and state boundaries and has come under international environmental frameworks, which have laid the foundation for adapting traditional knowledge and experience with modern international standards and irreversible processes of cooperation. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, historical sources, and field materials, I conclude that the elements of the pro-Western orientation that affects Georgia have been felt in Tusheti from social and cultural viewpoints. Integration into European culture is of great importance for the preservation and further development of Tusheti cultural heritage.
The Role of Women in the Educational System of Turkey after WWII
Authors: Makaradze Emzar
Published: February 2021

The study of women's issues, the feminist movement, as an academic discipline, and the first curriculum were established in the University of San Diego in 1970. The women’s problems have been mainly studied in the framework of traditional social and humani-tarian disciplines, mostly in literature, philosophy and psychology.The active dissemination of feminist ideas in Turkey after World War II, espe-cially in the late 1970s, and the creation of various feminist societies and journals provided a solid foundation for the establishment of research centers in universities, that study women's issues.There are two directions in the study of women's issues in Turkish universities and academic circles. The first one includes research centers that bring together rep-resentatives of various disciplines and fields of science. They deal with gender, the economic and social status of women, education and health. The second approach combines all those trends that are associated with the social faculty.The level of female activity in Turkey is much lower than in Europe. The status of a woman here is also characterized by its specific development.In the 1980s and 1990s, the feminist movement in Turkey became more and more active. New women's communities, magazines, newspapers, libraries were creat-ed, and women's conferences with an active participation of Turkish women were held both in Turkey and all around the world.It can be concluded that the women's movement in the higher and academic sys-tem of Turkey after World War II led to a new political process that raised the issue of gender equality. The struggle of women for emancipation played an important role in the formation of Turkish society.Despite some achievements regarding women's issues, there is still gender ine-quality, violation of women's rights in Turkish society, what indicates the fact that the women’s problems are still relevant in republican Turkey.

The History of the Early Modern Period Turkish Armenians in Soviet Historiography
Authors: Ayvazyan Gayane
Published: February 2021

The study of the Early modern period Western Armenian or Turkish-Armenian history did not interest the Soviet-Armenian historiography much. It was primarily subordi-nated to the Eastern Armenian historical priorities, and occupied a marginal place in the Soviet-Armenian historiographical system. The absence of study on the Turkish-Armenian history in the Soviet-Armenian historiographical system was not an acci-dental omission, but the result of the political attitudes of the Soviet historiographical thought, which [the attitudes], since the Stalin era, had not always derived from the Western Armenian historical reasoning.
Let’s Talk about Archives. Archival Gordian Knot in the Soviet Ukrainian-Polish Scholarly Collaboration (the 1950s-1960s)
Authors: Borys Nataliya
Published: February 2021

The article explores an unknown aspect of Soviet Ukrainian-Polish scholarly rela-tions: the collaboration between historians on issues pertaining to archives during the Thaw (1950s-1960s). At the core of this academic collaboration was the desire of Polish scholars to access the former Polish archives, the main bone of contention be-tween the PRL and the USSR. In this paper, I will reveal the mechanism of the Krem-lin’s control over the archives, as well as the politics of access to them by Poles, which provoked multiple crises at the highest levels. The Soviet politics of scholarship, and particularly of the most ideologized social science, history, differed from that of other countries and other forms of state politics in its tight control and censorship. However, despite the tight control and numerous obstacles, Soviet authorities failed to impose their rules on Polish scholars. Ukrainian historians played an important role as they could procure the necessary archival inventories and provide their Polish colleagues with access to the archives. The foregoing produced results quite opposite to Mos-cow’s expectations, fostering the creation of an informal collaborative network.
The Role of the Language Priorities in Development of Society
Authors: Aroshidze Marine , Aroshidze Nino
Published: February 2021

The need to comprehend contemporary global problems the mankind is facing poses demands to modern science to expand the range of functions and strengthen interac-tion between areas of society. The modern anthropocentric scientific paradigm makes a focus on the interdisciplinary research of the civilizational processes of social de-velopment, which created the need for a comprehensive study of sociocultural and linguistic processes in their functional interaction during the historical development of society.The process of human socialization is, first of all, the mastery of the symbolic cultural code and cultural memory of society, which in modern society is losing its usual monoculturism and is increasingly acquiring a bi- and multicultural character, which poses a pressing multifaceted problem for society - linguistic policy, linguistic consciousness, persona lingua. The language policy of any particular country or region is dictated by the prevailing socio-political situation in the country and contributes to shaping the fate of this country for it regulates the status of the state language, the language of the press, education, and science.In each society, certain language priorities are formed, as well as language prohibitions that regulate the life of society, and the formation of the worldview of the participants in society depends on the languages being assimilated. Not surprisingly, the problems of language (with the light hand of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgen-stein) have long exceeded philological problems of philological problems. The language policy of small countries largely depends on foreign policy fac-tors; it is interesting to follow the example of Georgia to trace the change in language priorities in different historical eras (from Arabic, Persian, Greek, Latin, Turkish to Russian, and now to English). The Second World War became an important milestone for Soviet Georgia in language policy: the spiritual unity of all the peoples of the USSR was so intense that the formation of a single supra-ethnic community “Soviet nation” was successfully supported by language policy: having Russian as the second native language. The education system and the press were fully focused on the Russian language. The schools taught foreign languages (French, German, English) by choice, but the minimization of hours, the grammatical approach and the lack of language practice allowed only units to learn European languages at the level of free communi-cation.The 1990s became a period of forced breaking of habitual linguistic priorities for Georgia, free of imperial influence. English has become compulsory subject matter at all stages of the Georgian educational system, Russian is studied only by choice as a second foreign language with a minimum number of hours. The previously banned Turkish language is strengthening its position, especially in Adjara, neighboring Turkey.
Opportunities for an Academic Career of Women Scientists at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (mid. 1940s-1980’s)
Authors: Nazarska Georgeta
Published: February 2021

The object of the paper is the development of Bulgarian science during the totalitari-an period (1945-1989), but its subject is the scientific career of the habilitated women, working in the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS) – the largest scientific organiza-tion in the country at that time. The aim is to explore the opportunities for vertical social (scientific) mobility and the existence of a “glass ceiling” for women’s scientific careers at the BAS. The research uses the social history approach, creating a collec-tive portrait and identifying major trends in the study period, using historical analysis of archival and published documents and content analysis of a prosopographic data-base containing biographies of habilitated women from the institutes and the labora-tories of the BAS.
European Ideals and National Identity in Georgian Emigrant Literature of the XX Century
Authors: Sioridze Marine , Svanidze Ketevan
Published: February 2021

The political processes of the 20th century became a kind of test for Georgian writers, the passing of which was largely manifested by the writers’ physical presence-absence, the denial of their own beliefs. Immigrant literature has become a form of free expres-sion of dissident thoughts. The authors were forced to move to another language space for their spiritual and physical survival in order to at least somehow get closer to the national culture. However, new contradictions arose at the same time. Writers lived in a foreign country, in a society of a different mentality and worldview, for which the topic that was close to the Georgian way of life could possibly be completely alien and uninteresting. The works of Georgian emigrant authors could be incompatible or less compatible with foreign literary discourse.The goal of writers and poets of the early 20th century was to remove the shack-les of imperialism from Georgia and to become closer to Europe. The Soviet authori-ties launched a cruel and immoral campaign against the writer, caused by the ideolo-gy of that time. One of the outstanding representatives of this particular era was Grigol Robakidze. The present paper deals with the research and analysis of the movement that began at the beginning of the 20th century and was aimed at bringing Georgia closer to Europe; it also discusses the reasons that served the public to appeal to European ideals and how the struggle went on to establish their cultural values. Grigol Robaki-dze's German-language work is essentially a part of Georgian literature.The writer was delighted with the poetic greatness of the Georgian language and its capabilities. Robakidze's works clearly show his selfless love for the mother-land. He was in love with the Georgian language, the Georgian land, the Georgian character and, in general, with everything Georgian. It is easy to imagine that the stay in emigration even more strengthened the writer's patriotic feelings. The creative path of the emigrant writer was in expressing his own and national identity, on the one hand, and in adapting to the literary environment, the part of which the author should have become himself, on the other hand. Thus, he did not move away from his native roots and found his place in a foreign literary discourse.

The Lichadonisia island group is located between Maliakos and the North Evian Gulf, in central Greece. Lichadonisia is one of the few volcanic island groups of Greece, consisting mainly of lava flows. Today the islands are uninhabited with high numbers of visitors, but permanent population existed for many decades in the past. Herein, we present for the first time the land snail fauna of the islets and we compare their species richness with islands of similar size across the Aegean Sea. This group of small islands, provides a typical example on how human activities in the current geological era, i.e., the Anthropocene, alter the natural communities and differentiate biogeographical patterns.

We report the first molecular identification of Phyllodistomum macrocotyle (Digenea: Gorgoderidae) from the Northern Dvina River Basin, Northwest Russia. Comparative analysis of our sequence was 100% identical to the 28S and ITS2 rDNA sequences of the species P. macrocotyle in zebra mussels discovered in Poland (Wigry Lake), Lithuania (Elektrenai Reservoir and Sirvinta River), Russia, Belarus (Lepelskoe Lake and Lukomskoe Lake), and in fish Leuciscus idus, Scardinius erythrophthalmus in Russia (Rybinsk Reservoir on the Volga River). At the same time, some sequences of the 28S rDNA of P. macrocotyle in zebra mussel detected in Lithuania, and Belarus were different from our sequence on 0.2-0.6%. The ITS2 sequences which have 100% similarity with our specimens of P. macrocotyle were discovered in sporocyst of phyllodistomes from its intermediate host D. polymorpha in Poland, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus. Our observation in the Yuras and Isakogorka rivers represents the northernmost record of this host-specific parasite, to the best of our knowledge.
Heat Transfer Across Tube Banks With a Passive Control Vortex Generator in Steady One-Directional and Oscillatory Flows

Published: February 2021

Fluid can flow in one-directional (normal flow) or oscillatory conditions. Fluid flow in some energy system involved oscillatory flow condition. The use of vortex generator has been proven to improve heat transfer in the case of one-directional flow but the impact of vortex generator in oscillatory flow condition is yet unknown. This study focusses on the heat transfer performance across a heated tube banks using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. Two flow conditions were modelled: steady one-directional and oscillatory flow conditions. Two-dimensional CFD models of steady flow and oscillatory flow were solved using the SST k-? turbulence model for two different cases of heated tube banks with and without the vortex generators. The heat transfer performance for both flow conditions were analysed by considering a heat transfer parameter known as Colburn-j factor. Results showed that the use of a vortex generator increased the heat transfer enhancement, regardless of the flow conditions. However, it is also noted that the heat transfer behaviour in a steady flow and an oscillatory flow is not the same, especially with the appearance of secondary flows in the system. The difference is discussed with respect to dimensionless quantity of Colburn j-factor, the non-dimensionless quantity, and the amplitude of temperature field. The result indicates that the heat equation in the steady flow condition is not very suitable to be directly used in oscillatory flow conditions. Appropriate heat equation needs to be properly addressed for situations that involve oscillatory flow motion.
Mixing Performance of Anchor and Helical Stirrer Blades for Viscous Fluid Applications
Authors: Mohd Yusof Nurul Farhana , Ung Eng Soon Edmund , Fitri Ismail Iman , Mohammed Akmal Nizam
Published: February 2021

Mixing performance is critical as it may influence the quality of the mixture and operation cost. In a viscous fluid application, the torque required to sustain the high viscosity is very important as it will affect the selection of motor power and cost. The final product of the mixing process is critically influenced by the blade design. The objective of this work is to study the mixing behaviour and the performance of different stirrer blade designs. Two different types of blades were designed and studied to determine how their distinct design features affected flow characteristics in a stirred tank. The liquid viscosity during the formation of grease is taken into account in the determination of viscous force. Fluid flow vector shows that the helical blade efficiently creates a more homogenous uniform mixing. It was found that the helical blade produced 0.25 Nm of torque, whilst the anchor blade produced 0.28 Nm of torque. These values are comparable with the calculation with 8 % error. Therefore, the helical blade can be used as an alternative for the anchor blade due to an efficient mixing process at a faster time and lower power consumption.

Authors: Valente Riccardo , Gelabert Albert Sanchez , Duart Josep M
Published: February 2021

In recent decades, a series of changes has shaped a model for universities backing new ways of understanding education and educational institutions in our societies. The appearance of completely online universities and traditional university departments offering online programmes, openly and en masse, bear witness to this. All these changes are an opportunity to rethink the role and function of universities in our increasingly interconnected and global societies. In what follows, we propose our contribution to this debate by focusing on the specific case of the “Universitat Oberta de Catalunya” (UOC), an online university of the Spanish educational system.

Authors: Gil-Jaurena Ines , Domínguez Figaredo Daniel , Ballesteros Velázquez Belen , Morentin Encina Javier
Published: February 2021

The paper covers the validation process of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) survey in its Spanish version. This task was undertaken by a group of researchers – the CO-Lab teaching innovation group – at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) in 2018, as a first step in the process of analysing the educational practices in the online courses we teach. The paper explains the CoI model, some studies that have validated the survey in different languages, and the validation we have developed at UNED. We conclude with a discussion and future studies we aim to undertake as a follow-up of this project.
High Impact Practices: Addressing Workplace Needs
Authors: Andrade Maureen , Miller Ronald
Published: February 2021

For at least three decades, employers have observed a gap between the skills they look for in recent college graduates and the skills these graduates possess. This has been noted in multiple studies involving both direct employer input and curricular reviews to determine alignment with professional standards (Association of American Colleges Universities [AACU], 2013, Azevedo, Apfelthaler, Hurst, 2012; Bayerlein Timpson, 2017; Hart Research Associates, 2006a; 2006b; 2008; 2010; 2013; 2015; 2018; Pratt, Keys, Wirkus, 2014; Ray, Stallard, Hunt, 1994; Ullah, Kimani, Bai, Ahmed, 2018). These studies have also indicated consistency in the specific skills that employers value, typically written and oral communication, teamwork, ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-life situations (Hart Research Associates, 2015). These are prioritized by most employers over technical or discipline-specific knowledge and abilities (Hart Research Associates, 2015).
Sending Online Training Concept – Competency-Based, Adaptive Learning in Data Science for ICT Professionals

Published: February 2021

The European Union has noted over many years the existence of rapidly changing skills and persistent skills mismatches in the EU labour market. In the ICT sector, gaps have been regularly reported between the skills required and the skills actually attained by graduates of European Higher Education Institutes. The focus therefore has been to adopt a more proactive learning policy that can develop and test mechanisms that will help ICT graduates and workers to acquire the key relevant skills that will make them employable and adaptable to future market trends. In addition, such mechanisms will be designed to enhance worker mobility and flexibility.
Towards a Prototypical Categorization of Distance Education in Teacher Education
Authors: Thys Andy , Vandeput Luc , Elen Jan
Published: February 2021

Higher Education is in constant transition. In the Flemish context this is illustrated by a gigantic transformation in teacher education (TE). In the context of this transformation Educational master-level programs (EQF 7 – VKS 7) are designed and will be implemented in 2019-2020. The main factor that has to be taken into account is the a priori choice to offer the master programs at different locations throughout the Flemish region. This demands from the new educational masters in TE a radical focus on multi-campus education. This article stresses the need to establish a strong vision on distance education (DE) in TE. To do so a typology of distance education in teacher education is developed. Elen et al. (2014) can be seen as a prime inspiration for the different approaches (of distance education in teacher education). At the core of this article are the three outlined approaches as a basis for discussion. A methodology is presented to systematically sketch this process and its future aspirations. It has to be noted that this search for prototypes can never be seen as a fixed description but as a constant search and debate.
Embedding Blended Learning Environments in Higher Education: Towards a European Maturity Model
Authors: Goeman Katie , Poelmans Stephan , Van Rompaey Veerle , Dijkstra Wiebe , Van Valkenburg Willem
Published: February 2021

A Partnership in Higher EducationThe “European Maturity Model for Blended Education” (EMBED) is a higher education (HE) project (2017-2020) led by a consortium of universities across Europe: KU Leuven, TU Delft, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Aarhus, Dublin City University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences. It is coordinated by The European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) and funded by the European Commission. Aim is to support institutions when introducing, developing and implementing blended learning (BL) in HE. A reference model is created that encompasses all levels of an institution: the design of a course, organisational aspects such as policy making, staff support, training and leadership, while guarding the institution’s quality culture. Internal stakeholders include learners, teaching staff, support services, technology departments and university leaders, while external stakeholders are key persons responsible for policy making such as governments, European university networks and the EU.
Future Skills and Higher Education “Future Skill Readiness”
Authors: Ehlers Ulf-Daniel
Published: February 2021

The discourse on the future of higher education is already an old one. Higher education Institutions are used to it and are slow in turning around which makes them stable and enduring organisations. In a way institutions and society are benefitting from their internal protection mechanisms which goes along with the status of autonomy and independence they are granted in democratic societies. However, in recent times it becomes clear that we are approaching a peak point in the “race between technology and education” as the Dutch Nobel Prize winner Jan Tinbergen called it about four decades ago (Tinbergen, 1975). One popular theory to explain the rising trend in inequality was first put forward by the Dutch Nobel Prize winner in Economics Jan Tinbergen over four decades ago. He characterised wage inequality as being the outcome of a “race between education and technology”. In this theory, technology increases the relative demands for more skilled labour while education increases the relative supplies of such labour. Thus, rising inequality implies that technology is winning this race. It is characterized by technology, global and globally networked societies, institutions and individuals and education systems as a whole will have to make the next move in this race – and evolve in the light of to these developments, change their mode of working and evaluate their objectives. This is especially true for higher education amongst educational institutions, as the last autonomous and self-governed institutions in the education sphere. One important piece in this puzzle is the question of direction – change in which direction? What are the new skills which are needed for our societies to be sustainable and our organisations to be fit for the changed environments?
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: The Blossoming Art of Teaching and Learning Required to Prepare Students for the 4th Industrial Revolution
Authors: Gous Ignatius
Published: February 2021

The future is not what it used to be. It is more complex than ever, and it changes faster than ever. Traditional educational institutions do not teach the skills sets students need to be future ready. Most of them still follow the industrial model that focuses on content and testing answers about known questions. Research reports point to ways in which higher education needs to change to meet the challenges, such as teaching abilities instead of content, becoming network universities, my-universities, or life-long universities. The time frame expected to change the current systems and structures are between 5 and 10 years. That is too long. The future is now. Distance Education, though, can make an immediate difference. Departing from the premise that “I learn for a reason”, grounded in the Golden Spiral for Life-Long Learning model, the way Distance Education teaches may become sufficient to engender future readiness. The future requires students with specific personal characteristics and abilities, linked to effective mastery strategies, and being open to the future and change. A lesson structure and flow is suggested, based on a combination of tried-and-tested teaching and current mind, brain, and education research. Using the Brunfelsia Pauciflora “Floribunda” plant as metaphor, also called the Yesterday-today-and-tomorrow plant, the past, the present and the future are juxtaposed in an organic whole. In this way, a balanced approach is reached, that still attends to indispensable past knowledge and current application, but adding a required future ready perspective.
