The Future

Serving the ever-increasing energy demand of the world by preventing the excessive deterioration of the environment requires the continuous development of energy technologies. Both renewable and nuclear power are reasonable alternatives to fossil sources. Beyond the engineering and economic issues, the social acceptance of the technologies is an essential factor. Recent literature pays growing attention to learning students' attitudes to renewable energy and sustainability since they are the future users and the decision-makers. Targeted actions in the field need thorough investigations about the opinions, attitudes, and knowledge level of the new generations. This paper contributes to a better understanding of higher education students' approaches to renewable and nuclear energy in Hungary by a voluntary online survey on evaluation and ranking the energy sources. The research sample includes 328 business, engineering, and state science students from various Hungarian universities. The results show the respondents are optimistic about favorable future changes in the utilization of renewable energies, but the opinions are scattered. Using the energy sources, sparingly seems to be more acceptable by the respondents than making financial sacrifices for a greener solution. The results of the pairwise comparison pointed out that solar power and wind power are considered decisive and acceptable sources. There is a general distrust of nuclear energy among the respondents. The analysis did not find significant differences between the responses of students from different faculties. The evaluations confirm a positive approach to sustainability and the particular emphasis on solar power. The result shows the need for knowledge formation that the assessment of the future role is not in line with the professional opinion and the national strategy

The Relationship

In South Africa, with few exceptions, scholarship on the modern labour movement which emerged after the Durban strikes of 1973 tends to focus on trade unions that constituted the labour movement, strikes, collective bargaining, and workplace changes. While all these topics covered by labour scholars are of great importance, there is less emphasis on the role played by labour support organisations (LSOs) which, in some cases, predate the formation of the major trade unions. Based on an analysis of historical writings, some archival and internet sources, this article critically discusses the contribution of LSOs and their use of workers’ education to build and strengthen trade unions, which became one of the critical forces in the struggles against racial capitalism in the 1980s. In particular, it critically examines the work of the Urban Training Project (UTP) and the South African Committee for Higher Education (SACHED) workers’ education programmes as a contribution to building the labour movement. The relationship between trade unions which had elaborated structures of accountability and LSOs which were staffed by a relatively small layer of activists also led to debates about accountability and mandates.

Game Practice

The training of a graduate with project thinking is one of the trends in modern higher education. Specialist with soft skills is in demand by society. The formation of soft skills is facilitated by using project technologies in training. In this regard, it seems important to identify the level of readiness of freshmen to project-oriented training.The purpose of this article is to analyze the readiness of first-year students of the Institute of Mathematical Modeling and Game Practice of Pskov State University for project-oriented study at a university. The research used the following methods: analysis of the scientific literature on the research problem, observation, expert evaluation, questioning, and statistical analysis of the results. In the process of research, (a) the need for an input assessment of freshmen readiness for project activities was substantiated, (b) the components of students' readiness for project-oriented training were identified, (c) the selected components were evaluated during the training project carried out by freshmen, (d) the results were analyzed.

Abstract Cluttering is discussed openly in the fluency literature, but few educational opportunities for learning more about cluttering exist in higher education. The purpose of this manuscript is to explain how a seminar in cluttering was developed for a group of communication disorders doctoral students. The major theoretical issues, educational questions, and conclusions are discussed.
