To the Question of Neuter Gender Toponyms’ Declention Ending on -ovo/-evo, -ino/-yno

The present paper deals with the issue concerning neuter gender toponyms’ declension ending on -ovo/-evo, -ino/-yno in Russian language. Until the 20th century, these place names had been changed in cases steadily; in the middle of the century, a tendency outlined not to decline these toponyms despite the valid rule. The researchers highlight three reasons for distribution of this phenomenon: the professional speech of military men and topographers, the influence of non-Slavic indeclinable neuter gender toponyms, the attempt to eliminate the possible confusion of neuter and masculine nouns that have the same basis. The author estimates the reliability of the reasons that toponyms on -ovo/-evo, -ino/-yno appeared in indeclinable form, determines the possibility of these reasons to influence on deviation from the normative practice and makes an independent research based on available material. The main factor that strongly fastened in practice the non-declension of toponyms on -ovo/-evo, -ino/-yno is the society in which Russian language functioned for the most of 20th century. That was the totalitarian period with its cult of a simple man and orientation on the least educated; this circumstance could not but play in favour for distribution of multiple deviations from the literary norm. In addition, the appearance of numerous toponyms on -ovo/-evo, -ino/-yno formed from the surnames of the communist chiefs (Stalino, Lenino, Kalinino, Ulyanovo, Kuybyshevo, etc.), in indirect cases, created a dangerous analogy with the Soviet leaders, which could contribute in expansion of non-declension.

The Impact of Strategic Awareness on Organizational Readiness: An Analytic Research of the Opinions of the Sample of Top Leaderships in Private Colleges in the Provinces of the Al-Furat Al-Awsat in Iraq

The current research aims to investigate and determine the nature of the relationship between strategic awareness as an independent research variable and organizational readiness as a dependent variable, and to know which dimensions of strategic awareness have the highest influence on organizational readiness. Private universities were selected in the Al-Furat Al-Awsat governorates in Iraq. There are (14) colleges that represent the field and community of the research, the size of the community has reached (230), and the research sample was chosen randomly, method. 180 questionnaire sheets ware distributed to the subjects of the sample, and the ones retrieved were (157), while the valid for statistical analysis reached (151) questionnaires valid for statistical analysis, and they were analyzed using the statistical program (SmartPLS) and (SPSS V.23). A set of results, including the presence of a moral effect of strategic awareness on organizational readiness, and the dimension of reflection is one of the dimensions of strategic awareness that has the most influence on organizational readiness, as well as the Interest of colleges in orienting learning as one of the foundations for the success of educational institutions, especially colleges and private universities, as their environment is highly competitive and needs to be more developed and differentiated among them to ensure their continuity, as well as the orientation learning.

Problems of Conducting Open Operative Search Activities Aimed at Detecting and Solving Crimes of Counterfeiting

The authors examine the establishment of expertology as an independent complex discipline connected with other branches of legal theory. They conclude that an expert occupies a universal position regardless of the type of court procedure, and that the foundations of forensic analysis are of a complex nature. They also study the connection between expertology, criminal court procedure and other types of procedures, forensic science, psychology and substantive branches of law. It is concluded that the theoretical bases of these disciplines could be enriched by the achievements of forensic work, the development of science and technology. The authors draw parallels between research approaches, different established points of view and practical achievements regarding the issue under consideration. Expertology is presented as an independent research branch (discipline), which justifies the need for a special person who uses special knowledge and is given a procedural status under the current Russian legislation. The problem of the unification of corresponding rights, duties and liabilities in various types of legal activities is described.

Building Capacity for Action-Oriented Research in Arizona’s Helium Extraction Boom

Northeast Arizona’s Holbrook Basin is an epicenter in the rush to secure new helium deposits in the U.S. While the helium boom has revealed unease amongst residents, significant knowledge and procedural gaps have prevented the public from making sense of the industry and its potential impacts. These gaps are produced by the opacity of critical minerals extraction, long-term regulatory neglect, and lack of commitments to public participation in environmental governance. However, we suggest that engaged STS scholarship can meaningfully assist at-risk communities in navigating these complexities. This is illustrated in a series of workshops developed by STS researchers and residents for the purpose of building local capacity for independent research and knowledge production. We detail the mutual affordances of these workshops and offer a potentially replicable framework: The Capabilities Model for Social Learning in Engaged STS. We conclude by arguing that this model is a useful lens for examining how STS critical thinking can be leveraged in collaborative research to pursue long-term social change.

Methodological knowledge of mathematics as a necessary condition for the formation of professional competencies of future teachers of mathematics

The article deals with the problem of preparing a future mathematics teacher for professional activity in the conditions of digitalization. The requirements for the mathematical training of a future teacher are highlighted and one of the ways to improve mathematical and methodological competencies is proposed. The main idea of the article is to analyze and describe the experience of solving the problems of filling the content of online courses to involve students in an independent research search, the experience of correlation of methods of organizing the educational process in the conditions of offline and online student learning. The author, based on the analysis of the content of methodological knowledge in mathematics and mathematical knowledge proper, reveals the content and essence of the methodological component in the professional activity of a future mathematics teacher. The purpose of the article is to determine the strategies of organizing a course in which future mathematics teachers receive not only mathematical, but also methodological training using different.

Finding a way: multiple mothering in a Chinese infant observation

This article describes an observation of a Chinese family by a student observer who employed the technique of infant observation to understand the experience of a Chinese infant and her family, and who was supervised in this endeavour by the author. This process is employed worldwide in the education of psychotherapists and psychoanalysts and is also an independent research model for understanding the intimacies of infant development in a wide variety of circumstances.

Standard-relevant publications: evidence, processes and influencing factors

This paper introduces the concept of standard-relevant publications, complementary to standard-essential patents and framed by the concept of knowledge utilization. By analyzing the reference lists of the around 20,000 standards released by ISO, authors of scientific papers cited in standards who are working at German institutions were identified. The institutions include universities, independent research societies, ministerial research institutes and companies. Almost thirty interviews were conducted with the most-cited of these authors. The interviews addressed the processes by which scientific publications come to be referenced in standards, and the motivations, the barriers and the effects of this. The findings demonstrate opportunities for and challenges to establishing standard-relevant publications as a new performance indicator for researchers, funding agencies, standard-setting organizations and ultimately regulators.

Guilty of using Google: Reconciling the right to a fair trial with the right to freedom of expression and addressing juror misconduct in the age of social media

<p>It is widely accepted that the right to a fair trial is one of the most important guarantees contained within our legal system. That right is undermined when a jury member conducts his or her own research into a case. This type of juror misconduct constitutes contempt of court. In the light of the fact that the law of contempt is currently the subject of review in a number of jurisdictions, this paper considers how the law of contempt could be adapted to better manage the risk of jurors undertaking independent research. After a discussion of the current law and some problems with it, particularly those created by modern communications technology, this paper considers a number of possible reform options. It makes two broad recommendations. First, that the law should focus relatively more on preventing jurors undertaking their own research than on limiting publication. Second, that independent research by jurors should be the subject of statutory criminalisation, and a range of measures should be adopted to increase jurors’ understanding of the importance of not going outside the evidence before them and to minimize any incentives for jurors to conduct their own research.</p>
