This paper covers on contingent legal capability of a conceived child. To protect the capability of conceived children and legal rights, including property, emerging on that basis, it is imperative to strictly identify the moment of emergence and termination of legal capability. The objective of this research is to analyze the provisions on civil law governance of the relations, the object of which is a conceived child's legal capability, and to develop recommendations aimed at improvement of the international regulations. General scientific methods are mainly applied in the course of theoretical rationalizing of the problem, studying the issues of establishment and development of the concept on contingent legal capability of a conceived child in regulations of various countries. It is offered to formalize in the legislation contingent recognition of an embryo as a person, and in that case a mandatory provision should apply--further birth of an alive child which brings an embryo from the category of contingent person into the category of non-contingent person, enjoying a number of rights prior to the birth--the right to be an heir, a grantee, a fructuary. Capability classification was offered--contingent capability of a conceived child; partial capability of a born child; full capability of an adult. The absence of medical indications predetermines absolute protection of a conceived child as a special object of protection. It is required to identify the list of reasons to be accepted by all the states as sufficient for legal termination of pregnancy--first, to take care about life and health of mother, also allowing improving the demographic situation in some countries.

This study thematically evaluates Turkish studies in science process skills (SPS) from 2000 to 2015. In looking for SPS studies, the authors entered the keywords &quot;process skills, science process skills, science education and Turkey/Turkish&quot; in well-known databases (i.e., Academic Search Complete, Education Research Complete, ERIC, and Springer LINK Contemporary). Further, in case the online search may have missed a substantial part of important SPS literature, the authors also conducted a manual search of the related journals. To present insights of SPS studies, a thematic matrix (needs, aims, methodologies, data collection tools, general knowledge claims, implications for teaching and learning) was used. Their general knowledge claims referred to (a) development of students' and teachers' SPS; (b) effect(s) of variable(s) on SPS achievement level(s); (c) integration of SPS into science curriculum; and (d) SPS measurement. Also, they showed that inquiry-based learning approach acted as a driving factor in developing SPS. Since science curriculum plays an important role in improving students' SPS, the studies under investigation suggest curriculum developers to increase the number of science activities in science curriculum.

The urgency of this study has become vivid in the light of the growing problem of prevalence and use of new synthetic drug types. Lately there has been a tendency of expanding the range of psychologically active substances (PAS) used by addicts with the purpose of their illegal taking. The aim of this research is an attempt of systematizing and classifying &quot;design&quot; drugs according to their chemical structure, neurochemical mechanisms of action and clinical manifestations. As a result, we have found that they can be divided into ten big groups. This classification will allow to better arrange new clinical phenomenology in modern addictology. This paper would be useful for psychiatrists, experts in narcology, as well as for personnel of institutions and agencies engaged in anti-drug activity.

Reading as one of English skills has paramount features in shaping EFL English competence. Referring to the importance for reading, it is inevitable that teaching method, assessments tools, reading material and activities have indispensable tasks to attain EFL learners' reading objectives. This study is intended to develop integrated reading material using PHP software. It is designed to react toward the vast development of technology and to reach the attainment of more comprehensive reading objectives in accordance with International Reading Association's views which is not achieved yet in today's EFL teaching context. The study utilizes the five phases Research and Development model covering need analysis, design, development, Focus Group Discussion, and Try out. The development invented 10 units of reading material within &quot;Pamanpintermu's&quot; program containing audio vocabulary survey, timed reading, audio reading, comprehension task, writing sections and its integrated auto assessment devices in every unit. The results from FGD and try out revealed that the theoretical foundation and syntax were categorized into high as it reached the average score of 3.7. In addition, content relevance achieved the average score of 3.9 as high and difficulty level reached 2.3 as medium. Meanwhile, the category of integrated reading skills and auto scoring obtained 3.6 and 3.8, and both categories belonged to high level.

Today we know that the heroic epos &quot;Edigey&quot; remained among the Turkic people living in the south from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to Siberia, as well as in foreign countries: Turkey and Romania. &quot;Edigey&quot; epos has more than 40 versions, some of which consist of fifteen or sixteen thousand lines. Therefore, a narrow study is not enough for in-depth analysis of the nature of the epic. The archaic and contemporary versions of the epic, the diversity of its national versions contribute significantly to the study of the dynamics of the epic tradition of literature of Turkic-speaking people. The general laws of these phenomena in science were determined through a comparative analysis. However, a similar study of national versions of the epic, in our opinion, is currently being implemented or not implemented not so often. The development of this topic also meets the objectives of the state program &quot;Cultural Heritage&quot;. &quot;Edigey&quot; epic allows us to consider the main literary traditions of the Turks, which connect real historical events and personalities, with fictitious hyperbolized scenes. It reveals the attitude of Turkic people to described historical realities, shows the impact of these events on the worldview of the Turks.

A flurry of recent research in writing studies has addressed the need for more systematic approaches to graduate-level writing support, though more research is needed into more organic models that account for graduate students' specific needs and that build infrastructure for writing support within university departments. This article reports on a graduate-level STEM Communication Fellows program at a science and engineering research university, in which graduate students in science and engineering fields help launch discipline-specific writing support in their home departments. The article begins with a discussion of program goals and departmental contexts. Then, two graduate STEM Fellows share their experiences developing support mechanisms in Earth and Environmental Sciences and Mechanical Engineering. Last, program assessment data from surveys and follow-up interviews are discussed. Findings from the STEM Fellows narratives and assessment data demonstrate different degrees of success as fellows wrestled with intricacies of the different departmental cultures. Findings also indicate the need for more structured mentoring opportunities between advanced and incoming graduate students, more focus on unstructured writing support over writing courses, and more development of asynchronous methods of peer interaction.
