  The purpose of the paper is to research some solutions of cooperation between universities and enterprises in training vocational skills for students. Through the survey on assessment of vocational skills of students and the need for cooperation between Enterprises and Electric Power University, the research proposes some solutions  between two elements of the mechanism of cooperation between University  and Enterprises in training vocational skills for students to ensure graduates can meet the requirements of recruitment agencies as well as the requirements of socio-economic development and employment.

The chapter analyses children’s human rights as universal norms and standards incorporated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) that are relevant in diverse national contexts. Discussing national experiences and the quasi-jurisprudence of treaty bodies, the chapter argues that understanding the interrelated nature of the different groups of rights in the CRC is essential for effective implementation of these rights. It is suggested that the concept of the indivisibility of human rights and the global agenda of sustainable development reinforce the need for this approach. The chapter also discusses the interdependence, compatibility, and conflict between children’s rights and the human rights of other groups, such as parents, women, and a community with which a child connects as he or she grows to adulthood. The chapter argues that incorporating children’s rights in national constitutions, rather than ad hoc legislation, encourages this holistic approach to implementing children’s rights.

De/colonial methodologies and ontoepistemologies have gained popularity in the academic discourses emerging from Global North perspectives over the last decade. However, such perspectives often erase the broader global agenda of de/colonizing research, praxis, and activism that could be initiated and engaged with beyond the issue of land repatriation, as that is not the only agenda in de/colonial initiatives. In this chapter, I coin a framework, Par/Des(i), with six tenets, and offer three actionable methodological turns grounded in transnational de/colonial ontoepistemologies. I locate, situate, and trace the Par/Des(i) framework within the South Asian diasporic discourses and lived realities as evidenced from my empirical work with transnational South Asian women, my community, and my colleagues. Therefore, I offer possibilities of being, knowing, and enacting de/colonizing methodologies in our work, when engaging with the Par/Des(i) framework, with an invitation for an expanded conversation.

AbstractInterculturalism (IC) is presently discussed as a foundational basis for local public policy aimed at managing migration-related diversity within ethno-culturally plural societies, especially at the local level. Despite its increased saliency over the last decade, IC is neither theoretically new nor was it always intended for mere application in strictly city contexts of diversity. Rather, it has a global origin as a political basis for international relations and negotiations. In discussing these origins, this article has two main interrelated aims. Firstly, it provides an overview of the multi-scale approach of IC, with the purpose of disentangling analytically the different empirical bases where it can frame the diversity agenda. Secondly, it explores whether a lack of appreciation and awareness of this multi-scale orientation may affect IC’s capacity to address the challenges of diversity governance at the local level. Methodologically, the article will undertake a textual analysis of a select number of leading documents framing its practice within the broader policy literature produced by the four main institutions that have advocated the intercultural approach within a global agenda. These are the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and United Nations University, on one hand, and the European Union and the Council of Europe on the other. The main findings show us the importance of a multi-scale thinking in diversity and IC studies, to avoid contributing to greater confusion in its applications.

Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to increase with climate change. Cities also influence their own local climate, for example, through the relative warming known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This review discusses urban climate features (even in complex terrain) and processes. We then present state-of-the-art methodologies on the generalization of a common urban neighborhood classification for UHI studies, as well as recent developments in observation systems and crowdsourcing approaches. We discuss new modeling paradigms pertinent to climate impact studies, with a focus on building energetics and urban vegetation. In combination with regional climate modeling, new methods benefit the variety of climate scenarios and models to provide pertinent information at urban scale. Finally, this article presents how recent research in urban climatology contributes to the global agenda on cities and climate change.

ZusammenfassungWeltweit ist körperliche Inaktivität weit verbreitet. Das diesbezügliche Ziel der Weltgesundheitsorganisation ist eine deutliche Reduktion, wofür Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung von umwelt- und systembezogenen Bedingungen ebenso benötigt werden, wie eine Stärkung des individuellen Verhaltenspotenzials. Die gesundheitsbezogene Bewegungsförderung hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren einer zunehmenden Kompetenzorientierung angenommen, welche sich zum Beispiel in dem Bezug zu bewegungsbezogener Gesundheitskompetenz (BGK) ausdrückt. Dieses Modell nimmt an, dass das Vorliegen von Bewegungs-, Steuerungs- und Selbstregulationskompetenz eine Voraussetzung für die Aufrechterhaltung eines körperlich aktiven Lebensstils darstellt. Diese Arbeit berichtet zunächst von der Gründung eines Netzwerks mit Akteurinnen und Akteuren aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum, die sich gegenwärtig mit dem BGK-Modell oder dem verwandten Physical-Literacy-Ansatz befassen. Im Anschluss rücken zwei Auftaktveranstaltungen in den Vordergrund, bei welchen zukünftige Herausforderungen für den kompetenzorientierten Gesundheitssport in Forschung und Praxis identifiziert wurden. Dabei wurden für die Zukunft drei wichtige Themenfelder identifiziert: „Herausforderungen auf begrifflich-konzeptioneller Ebene“, „Herausforderungen auf dem Gebiet von Messverfahren“ und „Interventionelle und vermittlungsbezogene Aspekte“.
