Abstract:
Background: Prosthetics and orthotics is a relatively recent addition to the suite of undergraduate professional preparation programmes. There has been limited publication regarding international patterns of curriculum development, particularly concerning how objectives differ across global regions. Objectives: This paper compares current prosthetics and orthotics curricula from a range of regions and identifies both common and distinctive objectives. Study Design: Mixed method: document analysis followed by modified Delphi process. Methods: Documents were analysed qualitatively to compare various curricula and emergent features were evaluated by a group of expert prosthetics and orthotics instructors. Results: There was substantial agreement that programmes should improve student knowledge and understanding. They should establish and extend student fabrication, communication skills and professional co-operation. However, there appeared to be regional differences in the priority given to critical thinking and clinical reasoning; integration of theory and practice and particular approaches to teaching prosthetics and orthotics. Conclusions: This study revealed substantial consensus regarding the importance of clear programme objectives dealing with student abilities, professional skills and contemporary understanding. However, this study also revealed regional differences that may well reward further investigation.

Abstract:
The popularity of client loyalty programmes has increased drastically over the past few years, with more than 100 suppliers in South Africa currently making use of them. Despite the fact that client loyalty programmes have been prevalent in South Africa since the 1980s, the South African Revenue Service has issued no specific guidance on the income tax treatment of client loyalty programme transactions. The main objective of the research was to determine whether South African client loyalty programme suppliers treat client loyalty programme transactions correctly for income tax purposes. In order to meet this objective, available local and international literature were analysed to determine the proposed income tax treatment of a client loyalty programme transaction expenditure incurred by supplier for purposes of the client loyalty programme. The proposed correct income tax treatment was compared with a survey circulated to a population of client loyalty programme suppliers in South Africa. The comparison indicated that in practice the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 is treated differently from the proposed treatment. This incorrect tax treatment could result in possible financial loss to the client loyalty programme supplier as taxpayer.

Abstract:
Experiments were carried out to compare fire blight resistance screening methodologies used in the German and New Zealand pipfruit breeding programmes The small differences between the respective screening methodologies did not result in significant differences in the incidence of fire blight infection or the amount of resistance observed in plants Differences in bacterial growth media inoculum suspension and inoculation technique did not have a significant effect on the incidence of fire blight infection or the extent of resistance expression in various apple cultivars Some of the Erwinia amylovora isolates had a significant effect on the level of disease expression on different cultivars These differences can be used as tools to identify resistance quantitative trait loci in different cultivars Results from these experiments have led to standardisation of screening methods between the two countries and provided confidence in comparing the findings of the New Zealand/German collaborative resistance research programme

Abstract:
Nowadays, hierarchical organizational structure, which has been created and dominated in 20th century, still remain widely used. The success of hierarchy in organizations in a period of time from 1960 to 2000 had been justified by such factors as: the relatively steady environment and preference of transparency and predictability over flexibility. However, in 21th century the business environment changed, therefore, the relevance of hierarchy becomes questionable. The given study provides a comparison between the hierarchical organizational structure and a modern holacratic structure. The research problem for this study is the lack of scientific and empirical data on how organizations can embrace the change in its structure and increase its vitality and adaptivity. The purpose of the current master’s thesis is to resolve the stated problem by investigating the organizational change of US-based company Zappos that was established in 1999 as a pioneer of online retail company and became a large corporation 10 years later. Following the process of expanding in 2013, the company switched from hierarchical organizational structure to the holacratic. The study is divided into three historical embedded cases in order to evaluate the reasons and outcomes of the organizational change. According to the research findings, the premises of Zappos organizational change was exceptional culture, orientation on long-term perspective and the influence of CEO visionary leadership. Additionally, the outcome of this study indicated that for large organizations that have hierarchical organizational structure the transformation to holacratic structure is too risky due to the complexity and long duration of shifting process. It has also been stated that emerging and scaling enterprises should have a holacratic structure in order to support the growth of adaptivity by eliminating the hierarchical ladder, distributing authority to all employees, while ensuring the encouragement of active involvement into company’s operations and strategic developments.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the factors affecting mathematical literacy of 15-year-old students in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) across different cultural settings. The present study was conducted across three countries. These countries are Brazil, Japan and Norway. The countries were selected on the basis of their rankings in PISA 2000 study. Japan represented a high performing country with an average score of 557, Norway represented an average performing country with an average score of 499, and Brazil represented a low performing country with an average score of 334. The study explored how mathematical literacy is stimulated by predictors related to the students, the families and the school. A separate factor analysis was carried out for each questionnaire such as student questionnaire and cross curricular competencies questionnaire within the data of each country. Since the results of factor analyses of three countries were parallel, the observed variables representing the latent variables were selected from the student questionnaire and cross curricular competencies questionnaire administered in PISA 2000 in order to be used in the structural equation modeling. The included factors affecting mathematical literacy in PISA 2000 are attitudes towards reading, student-teacher relations, climate, communication with parents, usage of technology and facilities, attitudes towards mathematics and reading literacy. The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling across three different cultures with different performance levels in PISA 2000. The findings of the study show that the latent independent variable having the strongest effect on mathematical literacy is the usage of technology and facilities in Brazil, communication with parents in Japan and attitudes towards reading in Norway. Moreover, the results were as follows: (1) Reading literacy significantly and positively influences mathematical literacy in all three countries. (2) There is a reciprocal relationship between the attitudes towards mathematics and mathematical literacy. In Brazil, the influence of attitudes towards mathematics on mathematical literacy is higher. However, the influence of mathematical literacy on attitudes towards mathematics is higher in Norway. (3) The attitudes towards reading have a negative direct effect and a positive indirect effect on mathematical literacy. (4) The student-teacher relations have a positive effect on mathematical literacy in Japan and Norway. But, in Brazil, this effect is negative. (5) The student-related factors affecting school climate are significantly and positively related to mathematical literacy in Brazil. On the other hand, the effect of climate on mathematical literacy is negative in Japan and non-significant in Norway. (6) Communication with parents significantly and positively influences the mathematical literacy in all three countries. (7) The usage of technology and facilities significantly and positively affects mathematical literacy in Brazil. However, this effect is negative in Japan and non-significant in Norway.

Abstract:
The goal of improving student achievement is of paramount interest to all public schools. The focus of this research was to determine the difference between inquiry based teaching strategies and student achievement. Additionally, the researcher investigated the origin of inquiry based teaching knowledge and International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) affiliation. IBPYP affiliation was studied due to the nature of the IBPYP as an inquiry based philosophy of teaching. The McGill Strategic Demands of Inquiry Questionnaire (MSDIQ) was used to determine teacher beliefs of inquiry based teaching strategies. Student achievement was measured using Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test 2.0 (FCAT 2.0) levels. Results from the MSDIQ indicated strong beliefs among participants of inquiry based teaching indicators within three domains: planning, enactment, and reflection. The researcher recommended further research into the origin of inquiry based teaching strategies knowledge to determine accurate professional development from districts that require inquiry based teaching strategies in evaluation systems. In addition, further research was recommended to determine the relationship between IBPYP affiliation and student achievement.

Abstract:
This study investigates the students&rsquo
characteristics and school characteristics and their influences on scientific literacy skills of 15-year-old students across Turkey, Canada, and Sweden, through the use of data from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development&rsquo
s (OECD&rsquo
s) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2006. The purpose of this study is to gain a more complete understanding of the effect of human and physical resource allocations and their interaction on students&rsquo
scientific literacy skills using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) techniques. By PISA 2006 results, in terms of scientific literacy, Canada is a high performing country whereas Turkey is far below the average and Sweden has a rank in the average. For modeling scientific literacy, student-level characteristics determined by student questionnaire, and school-level characteristics determined by school questionnaire were used. Results of the present study indicated that there were significant between-school differences in scientific literacy skills of students for all three countries. Turkey had the highest between-school variance and it was more than half of the total variance whereas in Canada and Sweden they were far lower. School type and size were common school factors affecting students&rsquo
scientific literacy skills in Canada and Sweden
however, in Turkey school admittance policies, educational resources, science promotional activities, and teacher qualities were school characteristics which have impact on scientific literacy. Enjoyment of learning science, self-efficacy in science, general value given to science, awareness of environmental issues, responsibility for sustainable development, and confidence in use of information technologies were common student factors affecting development of scientific literacy skills in the three countries. Finally, in all three countries cross-level interactions of student and school characteristics for developing scientific literacy skills were observed.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present study is to gain a more complete understanding of the impact of human and physical resource allocations and their interaction on students&rsquo
mathematical literacy skills across Turkey, member and candidate countries of European Union through the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) techniques were used separately for three different cultural settings using the database of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003. The results indicated that students in Turkey, member and candidate countries of European Union who performed higher on the mathematical literacy assessment tended to have the following characteristics: (1) enrolled at higher grade levels, (2) more educational resources at home, (3) higher levels of mathematics self-efficacy, (4) lower levels of mathematics anxiety, (5) more positive self-concept in mathematics, (6) less preferences for memorization strategies, and (7) more positive disciplinary climate in mathematics lessons. As the performance of schools were considered, the higher average mathematics self-efficacy of students, the higher the mean school mathematical literacy performance. The influence on mathematical literacy assessment varied from school to school with respect to grade level and disciplinary climate in mathematics lessons in Turkey and European Union countries, with respect to grade level, mathematics self-efficacy, and disciplinary climate in mathematics in European Union candidate countries. Moreover, school size and mathematics student-teacher ratio at school influenced the disciplinary climate in mathematics lessons in Turkey
academic selectivity of the school influenced the grade level and mathematics self-efficacy in the candidate countries of European Union.

Abstract:
Objectives. Although there have been some studies of the characteristics of orthodontic students and orthodontic programmes in the US, there has been little investigation of those in the Commonwealth. This study will attempt to identify the demographic characteristics of postgraduate orthodontic students, and the curriculum and organisation of orthodontic programmes in the English-speaking world, with the hope that this information may be used to aid in the planning of orthodontic training and future treatment provision. Materials and Methods. An on-line survey was used to question postgraduate orthodontic students studying in the 93 programmes worldwide in countries where the first language is English. The questionnaire itself was built using the online survey tool www.surveymonkey.com and was accessible to respondents for two months (January 2007 through March 2007). Statistical analysis was then carried out using the SPSS statistical program. Results. Of the 301 respondents, 55% were male and 45% female; 57.8% were from US programmes and 42.2% from the Commonwealth. The mean age of respondents was 29.8 years. The mean programme duration was 31.0 months in the US and 37.1 months in the Commonwealth, with the mean total patient loads being 84 and 106 respectively. A wide variety of treatment modalities were used in both groups. The mean annual tuition fee was considerably higher in the US (US$23,200) than in the Commonwealth (US$16,500); however, a higher proportion (47.2%) of US respondents received scholarships or stipends than Commonwealth respondents (29.1%). The overall mean debt upon graduation was US$118,200 and the mean expected income five years after graduation was US$283,200. Private practice was the most popular career path (90.3%), with fewer than one-third of respondents indicating that they would consider an academic career. Conclusions. The current study indicates that the demographic characteristics of orthodontic students are very similar to those most recently reported. Certain trends have continued, such as the increasing proportion of female students, and the increase in programme duration in the US. Data presented in the clinical and financial sections of this represent the greatest areas of change. Total patient case-load is increasing, and the types of treatment being carried out by students show marked differences from previous studies. The continuing increase in tuition fees is reported, along with increased levels of debt upon graduation, and this is seen to be having an effect on the expected career paths of orthodontic students, with fewer students looking to enter an academic career. This situation may need to be addressed to ensure the continued development and strength of orthodontic faculty members, and, hence, that of orthodontic training programmes.

Abstract:
The focus of this research was to compare the student membership population proportions, by race and gender, of Brevard County Public School students with the actual participation in select choice programs offered to Brevard County public high school students. This study was based on an analysis of the scores of 1,152 eighth-grade students who received a score of 4 or 5 on the 2008 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) mathematics and a score of 4 or 5 on the 2008 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) reading and their participation in high school advanced academic courses. The advanced academic choice programs selected for this study consisted of the four Florida articulated accelerated college credit seeking programs: Advanced Placement (AP), Dual-Enrollment (DE), International Baccalaureate&"174; (IB) Diploma Programme, and the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE). The proportion comparison consisted of student membership data and eighth-grade FCAT scores from 2007-2008 and the student membership data and high school course load data from the 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012 academic school years. Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests were run to analyze the proportions by race and gender of the sample groups and student membership populations. For each respective year involved in this study, there was a statistically significant difference in the race and gender proportions of the samples and the student membership populations.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse propose une analyse comparative de la transposition didactique externe du concept de fraction, en croisant, d'une part, les savoirs élaborés par les didacticiens dans ce domaine, et d'autre part, le contenu des programmes d'enseignement, et cela pour onze territoires, répartis dans trois zones géographiques (l'Amérique du Nord, l'Europe de l'Ouest et l'Asie du Sud-Est). Cette analyse est utilisée pour tenter de déterminer comment les savoirs à enseigner, entendus dans leurs composantes topogénétiques et chronogénétiques, sont corrélés aux performances des élèves aux évaluations internationales TIMSS, en particulier dans les tests de quatrième année pour l'année 2015 auxquels la France a participé. Elle s'appuie sur la théorie anthropologique du didactique pour établir comment les contraintes définies par les auteurs des programmes au niveau sociétal de l'échelle de codétermination didactique déterminent la diffusion des praxéologies relatives aux fractions. Ce cadre fournit également les outils d'examen des items, dont le contenu est étudié en fonction des organisations mathématiques mises en jeu. La pertinence de cette approche didactique des faits d'évaluation est comparée à l'analyse cognitive de ces mêmes faits réalisée par les auteurs de TIMSS, et la capacité des élèves à réussir différents types de tâches lorsque aucun enseignement n'est prescrit est discutée. En outre, l'inscription de la transposition didactique dans le contexte du système scolaire et de la société a également été prise en compte pour comprendre les résultats des élèves. Les déclarations de ces derniers, des parents et des enseignants à propos de l'enseignement des mathématiques en général, et des fractions en particulier, issues des questionnaires proposés par les auteurs de TIMSS, ont été analysées, ce qui a permis la mise au jour de caractéristiques spécifiques des systèmes didactiques étudiés, et d'une relation entre ces caractéristiques, le contenu des programmes scolaires et les performances des élèves
This thesis provides an analysis of the external didactic transposition of the concept of fractions by comparing the knowledge that has been generated from researchers in this field with the contents of teaching programs in eleven territories across three geographical areas (North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia). This study is used as a means to determine how knowledge that is taught in schools, in its topogenetic and chronogenetic aspects, correlates to student performance in the international TIMSS evaluations, in particular in the fourth year tests for which France was a participant in 2015. It draws upon the anthropological theory of didactics to establish how constraints that have been defined by the authors of programs at the societal level of the didactic codetermination scale influence the dissemination of fractions-related praxeologies. This research framework also provides the appropriate tools to examine TIMSS items by considering the knowledge, techniques, and tasks required by students for success. To understand which approach better explains student results, the didactic approach has been compared with the cognitive analysis carried out by the TIMSS authors for these assessments. In addition, didactic transposition, in the context of school systems and society, has also been taken into consideration as a way to better understand student outcomes. Analysis of student, parent and teacher input about mathematics education in general, and fractions in particular, from the questionnaires proposed by the TIMSS authors, has led to the identification of specific characteristics of these educational systems and the relationship of these characteristics to the content of school curricula and student performance

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse de sociologie porte sur les salles de musique dite « vivante », en s’appuyant sur une comparaison entre Paris et Berlin. L’étude des salles de musique rend compte de la production des définitions et des hiérarchies sociales des territoires musicaux, urbains et professionnels. À la diversité des genres musicaux qui y sont programmés répond la variété des manières de les entendre : publics assis ou debout, configurations intimistes ou stades, etc. L’articulation entre approche ethnographique et analyse statistique témoigne du lien entre esthétiques et usages sociaux de la musique. Ces territoires musicaux, constitués par les cadres d’écoute et les esthétiques, sont inégalement reconnus par les politiques culturelles et ne recoupent pas strictement les frontières des genres. Par ailleurs, les sous-champs musicaux dans les deux villes sont structurés par des logiques spatiales, ce qu’éclaire la cartographie des lieux de musique. Et, si la localisation des salles influe sur leur qualification musicale, à l’inverse, le fait musical participe aux transformations des représentations des territoires urbains. Outre l’ancrage géographique, cette thèse s’intéresse de près à la construction d’une offre musicale à travers la sélection des artistes par les programmateurs et programmatrices des salles berlinoises et parisiennes. Ainsi, elle donne à voir la délimitation de la fonction de programmation comme territoire professionnel, en interrogeant sa variabilité selon l’histoire du sous-champ musical et les contraintes liées à la concentration économique du secteur de la musique live. Une série d’entretiens avec les programmateurs et programmatrices a permis la comparaison des pratiques et des trajectoires de ces intermédiaires. Celle-ci atteste d’un développement professionnel inégal à Paris et Berlin et d’usages distincts du désintéressement dans une activité de programmation internationalisée. Les intermédiaires, comme les politiques culturelles, participent aux oppositions au sein du sous-champ des salles de musique, qui reflètent les centres et les périphéries du champ musical transnational. En effet, selon leur position dans le sous-champ et leurs ressources, les salles ne programment pas les mêmes catégories d’artistes. Ainsi, la retraduction locale de la valeur musicale contribue ainsi au positionnement de Paris et de Berlin comme capitales culturelles
This thesis in sociology offers a comparison of music venues in Paris and Berlin. Studying music venues sheds light on the definitions and hierarchisation of musical, urban and professional territories. Diverse music genres are listened to in these venues, and ethnographic observation shows that events happen in many different configurations – audiences are sometimes seated or standing, in large arenas or intimate atmospheres, etc. Statistical methods enable the study of the connection between music styles and the way they are socially appropriated. These musical territories, unequally supported by cultural policies, distinguish themselves from the strict definition of musical genres. The musical subfield is also structured by spatial forces, revealed by the cartography of the music venues in both cities. Their localisation affects the way venues are perceived and defined but, conversely, the music scene also participates in the transformation of representations about the urban territories. Beyond the urban analysis of music, this thesis examines music production through the role of bookers, who select the artists in the venues. In Paris and Berlin, the definition of booking as a territory of competence depends on the musical subfield’s history and is influenced by pressure linked to the increasing economic concentration within the live music market. Interviews with bookers offer material for comparing the cultural intermediaries’ work practices and social trajectories. They illustrate different forms of professional development and uses of disinterestedness in the internationalised activity of booking. Cultural intermediaries and policies participate in the dual structure of the subfields, which reflects the centres and peripheries of the transnational musical field. Indeed, depending on their resources and position in these subfields, venues do not book the same type of artists. Thus, they tend to the local translation of musical value, all the while taking part in Paris’ and Berlin’s positioning as cultural capitals
Die Dissertation behandelt in vergleichender Perspektive „lebendige” Musik in Berlin und Paris. Musik wird hierbei als kulturelle Praxis in Form von Konzerten definiert, stellt die Orte an denen Musik stattfindet ins Zentrum und schließt daher das bloße Musikhören aus. Die Studie bezieht in diesem Rahmen beruflich-professionelle Aspekte, das Konzert als eine sinnliche Wahrnehmung und einen sozialen Tatbestand („fait social“) sowie das anwesende Publikum mit ein. Musik wird somit nicht musikwissenschaftlich sondern soziologisch analysiert. Das Konzert wird als künstlerische Ausdrucksform in seinem sozialen Rahmen betrachtet: das soziale Treiben während des Konzerts, die Besonderheiten des Veranstaltungsorts und ähnliche Aspekte sind in diesem Sinne integrale Bestandteile dieser auf Städteebene angesiedelten Forschungsarbeit

Abstract:
AbstractIn educational research, comparisons are often made of groups or of the development of various (latent) constructs over time (e.g. teaching quality in different countries or different groups’ (girls vs. boys) perceptions of teaching quality). However, before the results of such comparisons can be accurately interpreted, measurement invariance (MI) of the constructs under investigation needs to be established to ensure their meaning remains consistent across groups, subjects, or assessment points. Thus, if mean level changes are to be compared between groups, scalar factorial invariance needs to be established. In this chapter, we investigate and discuss how results of MI analyses should be interpreted and whether they should be reported on with regard to contents. Using data from the well-known Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study on teaching quality, we introduce an approach to examining the conditions under which comparison among cultural groups is possible even if MI is lacking.

Abstract:
Earning a university degree in adult education continues to be one prominent way of becom-ing an adult educator. That is because obtaining a comprehensive academic education is con-sidered essential, especially in conjunction with the aim of professionalising adult education. But how do the contents, structure, and aims of study programmes differ internationally, and how does this relate to different concepts of the professional role? This study compares mas-ter’s programmes in adult education in Germany and the United States. The findings point at characteristic differences in the relation between academics and practice.

Abstract:
AbstractThe aim of this chapter is twofold. The first aim is to analyse the main features of the tax incentives in developing countries with a case study of two countries, Singapore and the Philippines. Singapore has been regarded in literature as one of the countries that has successfully attracted foreign direct investment; however, it is not yet clear whether this is the result of tax incentives or any other measure. The Philippines is at the time of writing in the process of introducing a comprehensive tax reform program (CTRP) that aims to redesign the tax incentives to become more competitive in the region and to achieve social and economic growth. These countries also belong to the same region (i.e. South East Asia), and therefore, the comparison of the incentives in these countries can also contribute to best practices in the region. Following this comparison, the second aim of this chapter is to evaluate the tax incentives granted in Singapore and the Philippines taking into account a new proposed evaluative framework for tax incentives in light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract:
AbstractGravity changes associated with volcanic processes occur over a wide range of time scales, from minutes to years and with magnitudes between a few and a few hundred microGal. High-precision instruments are needed to detect such small signals and both time-lapse surveys along networks of stations, and continuous measurements at single points, are accomplished. Continuous volcano gravimetry is mostly carried out through relative gravimeters, either superconducting instruments, providing higher quality data, or the more widely used spring meters. On the other hand, time-lapse surveys can be carried out with relative (spring) gravimeters, that measure gravity differences between pairs of stations, or by absolute gravimeters, capable of measuring the absolute value of the gravitational acceleration at the observation point. Here we present the state-of-the-art of terrestrial gravity measurements to monitor and study active volcanoes and the possibilities of new gravimeters that are under development. In particular, we present data from a mini array of three iGrav superconducting gravimeters (SGs) at Mount Etna (the first network of SGs ever installed on an active volcano). A comparison between continuous gravity measurements recorded through the iGrav#016 superconducting gravimeter at Serra La Nave station (1730 m a.s.l.) and absolute gravity data collected with the Microg LaCoste FG5#238 gravimeter in the framework of repeated campaigns is also presented. Furthermore, we introduce the Horizon 2020 NEWTON-g project (New Tools for Terrain Gravimetry), funded under the FET-OPEN Research and Innovation Actions call, Work Programme 2016–2017 (Grant Agreement No 801221). In the framework of this project, we aim to develop a field-compatible gravity imager, including an array of low-costs Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)-based relative gravimeters, anchored on an absolute quantum gravimeter. After the design and production phases, the gravity imager will be field-tested at Mt. Etna (Italy) during the last 2 years of the project.

Four countries offer specialized interpreter certification programs that take into account the needs of the healthcare market: Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States. This chapter provides an overview, analysis, and comparison of these certification programs by which specialized medical interpreters can demonstrate minimum standards of performance. This chapter reviews several components of five certification schemes: 1) pre-requisites, 2) knowledge areas, 3) skills areas, 4) language combinations, and 5) certification maintenance. The comparisons reveal similar approaches to interpreter certification with a few significant variations. These common elements form the basis for a substantive international equivalence and comparability. At a closer look, each scheme reveals different solutions to the shared challenges. This chapter ends with recommendations for any ongoing or future interpreter certification program and for interpreting stakeholders.

Abstract:
The relevance of our research is that for the successful development of the country in the nearest future, it is necessary to assess adequately the situation reflecting the level of knowledge of Ukrainian schoolchildren in comparison with other countries. The progress and economy of countries is very dependent on the quality of the educational system and the scientific complex. A competition in education began to exist among the traditional forms of competitions among the states. Developed countries make attempts to attract the best youth from other countries that’s why the purpose of the study is to investigate the problem of pedagogical measuring. The objective of our study is to analyze and compare students’ educational achievements in international measurements. There are many reasons to determine the importance of qualitative and quantitative measuring of educational systems and for this purpose, developed countries have organized the international testing of pupils of all ages. The article focuses on reading skills among pupils of elementary school (PIRLS testing), knowledge of pupils of the 4th and 8th forms in mathematics and sciences of nature (TIMSS testing), and a complex measuring of the «readiness for life – XXI» of 15-year-old students (PISA) – Programme for International Student Assessment). Ukraine took part for the first time in the international PISA-2018 test – a comprehensive measurement of the readiness for life of Generation-Z students born in 2002. We offer an analysis of the reaction of Ukrainian educational administrators and experts to the results of intensive two-hour measurements of knowledge and abilities of many hundreds of our adolescents from secondary and vocational schools posted on the Internet. We provide data for all tests 2000-2018 years for the first time in the pedagogical press of Ukraine. They will allow readers to evaluate their own evolution of the results of all tests. So you can find ways to improve their professional activities based on a combination of administratively recommended and own conclusions. We point to the beginning of changes in higher education and in the content of university quality ratings. The new rating (Impact Rankings 2020) also focuses on protecting humanity and environmental problems.

Full text
Abstract:
To support the advanced ceramics infrastructure in terms of ability to acquire reliable property and performance data, and to define tests for specifications, the development of testing standards has had priority in Europe through CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) over the past six years. The maintenance of close links with other standardisation bodies, including ASTM, JIS, and now ISO, has been important, and has been achieved through the international ceramics community. This has minimized technical differences between standards produced in different parts of the world. A review of progress in the preparation of formal CEN standards for monolithic ceramics is presented, which comprises a programme with a target of about eighty standards to be available by 1998. Some of the outstanding problems and requirements are identified. The role of pre-standardization research programmes and interlaboratory comparison is emphasized, including national and international programmes within the European Union. In particular, collaborative work under the auspices of VAMAS has proved to be a valuable method of obtaining internationally agreed positions on some of the technical issues.

Abstract:
Abstract Weather downtime (WDT) is a logistical and financial risk when planning operations or offering services. Such risk is typically identified and managed in advance using statistical predictions based on historical weather data. Estimates of programme and cost for offshore construction work may vary, not because of the nature of a task, or the environment at the location, or the capability and price of a vessel, but because estimates of WDT have been calculated in different ways. Estimates of WDT are required in order to develop a realistic programme for complex and long duration projects. Therefore, a good understanding of the analytical options and a feel for the implications of the many and varied approaches is key to finding optimal solutions regarding WDT assessments. In this paper we consider a number of variants to the two principal approaches (namely ‘Weather Windows’ and ‘Simulation Based’ WDT analysis) to the derivation of WDT statistics. WDT estimates calculated using the same environmental input data, but alternative approaches are presented. The presentation highlights the potential variation in downtime statistics that can result from the alternative analyses, aiming to improve awareness of the application of such statistics when estimating project programme and cost at the planning stages.

Abstract:
This paper is focused on the preliminary analysis of results obtained on the first cores of the first phase of the BASALA (Boiling water reactor Advanced core physics Study Aimed at mox fuel LAttice) programme, aimed at studying the neutronic parameters in ABWR core in hot conditions, currently under investigation in the French EOLE critical facility, within the framework of a cooperation between NUPEC, CEA and COGEMA. The first “on-line” analysis of the results has been made, using a new preliminary design and safety scheme based on the French APOLLO-2 code in its 2.4 qualified version and associated CEA-93 V4 (JEF-2.2) Library, that will enable the Experimental Physics Division (SPEx) to perform future core designs. It describes the scheme adopted and the results obtained in various cases, going to the critical size determination to the reactivity worth of the perturbed configurations (voided, overmoderated, and poisoned with Gd2O3-UO2 pins). A preliminary study on the experimental results on the MISTRAL-4 is resumed, and the comparison of APOLLO-2 versus MCNP-4C calculations on these cores is made. The results obtained show very good agreements between the two codes, and versus the experiment. This work opens the way to the future full analysis of the experimental results of the qualifying teams with completely validated schemes, based on the new 2.5 version of the APOLLO-2 code.

Abstract:
This paper is aimed at describing results of the first part of the BEMUSE (Best Estimate Methods – Uncertainty and Sensitivity Evaluation) programme. The purpose of BEMUSE is the comparison of best-estimate calculations, followed by the comparison of uncertainty and sensitivity analyses for a Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LB-LOCA). The first part of the programme is devoted to the study of the LOFT L2-5 experiment. After a general presentation of the programme, which implies more than ten participants, this paper describes the qualification process and the results of the best-estimate calculations. The results are significantly less dispersed than those of the ISP-13, concerning already LOFT L2-5 more than 20 years ago. Then, it presents extensively the methods and the results of uncertainty and sensitivity analyses. All the participants, apart from the University of Pisa with the CIAU method, use a fully probabilistic approach, based on Wilks’ formula. However, differences appear for the choice of the uncertain input parameters to be considered and for their associated range of variation. Sensitivity analysis is performed with regression techniques, and the results are also compared. As a conclusion, main lessons learnt from BEMUSE and recommendations are presented.

A brief overview of universities’ commitment to Sustainable development goals is also included. The study concludes that Nordic universities are more thoroughly engaged than the Baltic ones and are taking advantage of the Horizon 2020 opportunities; however, Estonia has a remarkable success. Although Nordic universities are looking for collaboration partners further into Western Europe than to the neighbours across the Baltic Sea, for teaming activities Baltic universities choose Nordic mentors. Nordic universities are more involved in activities leading to excellent research. On contrary – in many cases participation of Baltic universities is limited to coordination of research activities without a direct access to the leading European science communities and respective possibilities for students.

Abstract:
Oil removal from aeroengine bearing chambers presents a challenge for aeroengine designers. Effective scavenging of oil is necessary to avoid excessive heat in the bearing chamber as this may lead to degradation of oil properties and deterioration in heat transfer functionality. However the task of oil removal is not trivial. Oil is entrained in a highly rotating environment induced by rotating shafts. An aeroengine scavenge pump must remove both air and oil from the chamber and the ratio of the two fluids depends on pump operating point as well as the geometry of the exit region. The University of Nottingham Technology Centre in Gas Turbine Transmission Systems is conducting an on-going experimental programme investigating liquid and gas flow behaviour in a relevant highly rotating environment. Previously reported work [2, 4] in combination with work conducted by Purdue University [3, 5] suggests that a deeper sump may help to reduce residence volume. More recently a study has been conducted that investigates geometries incorporating features sometimes included in aeroengine scavenge. Three very different exit geometries were investigated experimentally using chamber residence volume as a parameter of comparison. Data for one of these, the so called Curved Wall Deep Sump (CWDS), has already been reported in [4]. This paper presents residence volume data for all three sumps over a range of shaft speeds, inlet flow rates and scavenge ratios. Trends are analysed and presented and areas for future work identified.

Abstract:
There has always been technical change since the beginning of mankind, and its importance continues in the present age. These days, the technology levels of these countries determine their competitive advantage within the international market. During the course of this paper, technical change in Central Eurasian countries will be examined. In the first part of the study, technology and innovation will be examined theoretically. The economies of the Central Eurasian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan will be introduced in the second section of the paper. Following this, technical change in the countries of Central Eurasia will be scrutinised under three groups. These are namely technological research and development, innovation and adaptation of technology. Technical change will be analyzed through data on innovation and technology, as published by the United Nations Development Programme in their "Human Development Report 2013". During the final section of this paper, comparisons will be made between the countries of Central Eurasia and Turkey and other regions in the world according to the level of technical changes which have been determined to have taken place in the Central Eurasia region. The advantages of preparing joint regional development plans including the technological development of the Central Eurasian countries will be discussed as a result of this comparison.

Abstract:
Australia was one of nine countries and economies to participate in the 2018 TALIS-PISA link study, together with Cuidad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (Argentina), Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Georgia, Malta, Turkey and Viet Nam. This study involved coordinating the samples of schools that participated in the Program of International Student Assessment (PISA, a study of the performance of 15-year-old students) and the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS, a study that surveys teachers and principals in lower secondary schools) in 2018. A sample of teachers from schools that were selected to participate in PISA were invited to respond to the TALIS survey. TALIS data provides information regarding the background, beliefs and practices of lower secondary teachers and principals, and PISA data delivers insights into the background characteristics and cognitive and non-cognitive skills of 15-year-old students. Linking these data offers an internationally comparable dataset combining information on key education stakeholders. This report presents results of analyses of the relationships between teacher and school factors and student outcomes, such as performance on the PISA assessment, expectations for further study and experiences of school life. Results for Australia are presented alongside those of the average (mean) across all countries and economies that participated in the TALIS-PISA link study for comparison, but the focus remains on what relationships were significant among Australian students.

Full text
Abstract:
The Maria Sibylla Merian International Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences Conviviality-Inequality in Latin America (Mecila) will study past and present forms of social, political, religious and cultural conviviality, above all in Latin America and the Caribbean while also considering comparisons and interdependencies between this region and other parts of the world. Conviviality, for the purpose of Mecila, is an analytical concept to circumscribe ways of living together in concrete contexts. Therefore, conviviality admits gradations – from more horizontal forms to highly asymmetrical convivial models. By linking studies about interclass, interethnic, intercultural, interreligious and gender relations in Latin America and the Caribbean with international studies about conviviality, Mecila strives to establish an innovative exchange with benefits for both European and Latin American research. The focus on convivial contexts in Latin America and the Caribbean broadens the horizon of conviviality research, which is often limited to the contemporary European context. By establishing a link to research on conviviality, studies related to Latin America gain visibility, influence and impact given the political and analytical urgency that accompanies discussions about coexistence with differences in European and North American societies, which are currently confronted with increasing socioeconomic and power inequalities and intercultural and interreligious conflicts.
