The article presents the concept of reconstruction of the Fertiki unit of the biogeoecological station of the Udmurt State University (hereinafter – the Fertiki campus), formed in the process of joint work of geographers and designers. The presence of a field campus is a necessary condition for the professional skills and abilities formation of students in a number of training areas in a classical university. However, the requirements for the campuses internal space formation are changing. If one and a half to two decades ago it was enough to have a minimally equipped site on the territory that meets the basic needs in terms of the field practices and scientific research content, now the need to expand the functionality and types of activities is becoming more and more obvious. At the same time, it is proposed to put natural, cultural and historical features of the area within which the campus is located as the basis for modern design solutions. In conditions of limited funding and a general unstable financial situation, there is a need for more efficient use of the property complex of the university, including field campuses. They should not only satisfy the needs of conducting educational practices and scientific research, but become complex out-of-town (field) divisions of universities aimed at various types of activities. The proposed concept provides the reconstruction of the biogeoecological station in the direction of forming a focus point of natural and cultural landscapes of a vast territory. On the one hand, the campus must organically fit into the surrounding space, and on the other hand, it must reflect its main natural, cultural and historical features in order to get rich content. Only complexity and polyfunctionality can be stimuli and conditions for its development.

This paper examines the prevalent notion that that the production of knowledge, academic research and teaching can and ought to be audited and assessed in the same manner as the production of other goods and services. The emphasis on similarities between industry and the academy leads to a neglect of fundamental differences in their aims and, as a consequence, a tendency to evaluate scientific research in terms of patents and product development and colleges and universities in terms of the labour market. The article examines the idea of the free academy, on the one hand, and compares and contrasts it to the idea of free enterprise, on the other. It is argued that the view of the university as a supplier of specific solutions for pre-determined, non-scientific needs (a workforce with skills currently in demand, innovations for commercial partners, justifications for political decisions, etc) undermines the public legitimacy of university science and weakens the fabric of scientific training and practice. The article proposes that the university’s main purpose must be to provide a recognized neutral, autonomous agency of rigorous, disinterested investigation and scientific education, which constitutes a necessary condition for an enlightened liberal democracy: an informed, capable and critical citizenry.

Abstract Within the framework of a scientific collaboration between the University of Limoges, France and the State University of New York, Stony Brook, USA, a joint work has been conducted on microstructure development and properties of plasma-sprayed molybdenum coatings. This first part of the work is devoted to the study of the effect of substrate nature and temperature on splat cooling, solidification and crystalline structure. They were investigated by means of a heat transfer model in the splat and the substrate, and the observation of splats by a scanning electron microscope and an atomic force microscope. The model takes into account melt undercooling, nucleation and crystal growth, as also a possible melting and re-solidification of the substrate. It has the capability to predict the grain size distribution under assumptions that the quality of contact between the splat and the underlying layer is uniform, nucleation takes place only on the substrate surface, crystal grains grow perpendicular to the substrate surface and no grain coalescence occurs during crystal growth.

The paper explores the interface between the new theoretical approach of ecolinguistics and language educational practices in the new digital environments that we have plunged into during 2020-2021. From the standpoint of ecological communication and eco-semiotics, the exploration highlights its impact on language learning and education in general, as re-contextualized in the new digital spaces we have all been experiencing as educators and learners. The theoretical input from semiotics and conceptual linguistics on the one hand, and educational ecology on the other hand, is paired with a direct empirical analysis of the students’ language learning experience at the USAMVBT University of Timisoara, Romania, the University of Tetova, North Macedonia, and Lomza State University from Poland. Our aim is to better understand how to sustain students’ communicational skills and their overall adaptation to the emerging digitalised educational environment across fields of study.

The article investigates the university social responsibility and the conditions in which the implementation of social functions carried out by higher education institutions can be possible. Models of interaction between society and universities are presented: the model of «civic university», which means the interaction of university, local community and local government, and the model of «quadruple spiral of innovation», which means a high degree of interaction between universities, business, government and society in various organizational forms. In the conditions of societal changes Ukrainian universities are gradually adapting their organizational mission to expand the list of functions, including those that meet the principles of social responsibility. To analyze the social responsibility of Ukrainian HEIs, a case method was applied, to analyze public materials of Mariupol State University. This university was chosen for research for a number of reasons: the institution is integrated into the life of the local community, city and region; the institution has successful experience of cooperation with local authorities and local NGOs; the university has educational programs in the humanities, social sciences and public administration; MSU staff and students are involved in many local community initiatives. To study the degree of interaction between the university and the local community, the representatives of local NGOs were interviewed. They, on the one hand, confirmed the hypothesis of the study that cooperation between HEIs and NGOs increases the ability of both social actors to respond to current local needs of communities, but outlined the main problems of this interaction, which are characteristic of most HEIs of the country: a high degree of bureaucracy, focusing on the provision of educational services and research, projects related to the infrastructure of the institution and its international presence. It is concluded that the policy of isolationism of Ukrainian HEIs inhibits the adaptation of the «civic university» model and the “quadruple spiral of innovation” model in Ukrainian society.

Scientometric studies have become very important within the scientific environment in general, and in the family firm area in particular. This study aims at conducting a bibliometric analysis of socioemotional wealth within family firms. To this end, a background search of the terms family firm and socioemotional wealth has been carried out in the Web of Science, specifically in specialized journals published between 1975 and 2019 in the Science Citation Index. The resulting scientometric analyses are of the number of papers and citations, the main authors and journals, the WoS categories, the institutions, the countries and the word co-occurrence. One of the main conclusions of this paper is the abundance of studies that have been conducted on socioemotional wealth in family firms, which is reflected in the number of publications (501) and of citations of these studies (12,090). Another significant revelation is the copious number of authors, with Gómez-Mejía being the most relevant one and De Massis the one with the highest number of publications. Also noteworthy are the many USA-based institutions, with the Mississippi State University and the University of North Carolina being the two most prominent. In addition, studies have been carried out about family firms’ focus, mainly, on performance and ownership.

We found (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 3545) that the superiority of KH over NaH in the Williamson ether synthesis was particularly marked with congested partners such as 1. Geert-Jan Boons of the University of Georgia described (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4636) the selective removal of each of the several orthogonal protecting groups decorating the disaccharide 3. Yutaka Nishiyama of Kansai University reported (Synlett 2010, 3089) a Re catalyst for the selective acylation of an ether 5, to give the ester 6, from the less substituted side. Duen-Ren Hou of National Central University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 6143) that triphenylphosphine hydrobromide was a convenient reagent for debenzylation, converting 7 into 8. Junghyun Chae of Sungshin Women’s University established (Synlett 2010, 1651) that simply microwaving an aromatic methyl ether 9 in an ionic liquid led to smooth demethylation. Allylic selenides such as 11 can serve as masked allylic alcohols. Wei-Ming Xu of Hangzhou Normal University demonstrated (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4431) that the polystyrene-supported Se resin facilitated the purification of 11. Oxidation followed by sigmatropic rearrangement then installed the axial secondary alcohol. Clemens Richert of the Universität Stuttgart devised (Synlett 2010, 2267) a reagent 13 for the one-step protection of an amine 14 as its azidomethyl carbamate 15. Xueshun Jia of the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 6049) that a substoichiometric quantity of Sm metal was sufficient to mediate the acylation of the congested amine 16. Frederik Rombouts of Johnson & Johnson, Beerse, and Andrés A. Trabanco of Johnson & Johnson, Toledo, found (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 4815) that the triflic acid debenzylation of 18 was also promoted by microwave irradiation. Mark D. Spicer and John A. Murphy of the University of Strathclyde designed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 15462) a stoichiometric Ni reagent that deprotected even the unreactive sulfonamide 20. Steven M. Weinreb of Pennsylvania State University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 3555) that an oxime can be deprotected by Fe-mediated reduction of the pivalate 22. David A. Colby of Purdue University protected (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5588) the ketone of 24 by forming the adduct with methoxymethylamine, allowing selective addition to the ester, to give 25.

This paper presents the reformulation of the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering (MIEM) at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) in two independent degrees (bachelor and master). The design of the new cycles of studies, triggered by decision of the Portuguese Government, followed the FEUP’s guidelines and led to a solution close to the one adopted by the existing integrated master. Therefore, the well-known “FEUP Mechanical Engineering product” is maintained, in general, since it is widely accepted in the job market, and improved by correcting some MIEM’s shortcomings. The bachelor is a non-professional degree of preparation to the master. It is clearly distinct from the cycles of studies thought at the polytechnic institutions, providing a broader scientific background, and not including design skills and dissertation. The master is a demanding degree, with innovative content and incorporating the value added by the excellence of the scientific research carried out at the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is aligned with the needs of the industry, being different from other master degrees in the same area offered in Portugal, and designed to attract students from abroad. A SWOT analysis performed both for the bachelor and the master shows the potential of the two new cycles of studies.
