With the accordance to the formation of the psychological portrait of contemporary Russian youth in the sociocultural space, the author’s hypothesis is that in the modern conditions of sociocultural communicative competence, the sociocultural space becomes a necessary aspect in the development of the socialization of the Russian students. The object of the study is the Russian student youth, and the subject is an analysis of the nature of the influence of sociocultural communicative competence on the Russian youth socialization. Such social factors as: the influence of the place of residence on the level of student competence; the influence of place of residence on the level of claims; the influence of parental capital on the level of academic performance and level of professional claims; the effect of income on competence and the effect of income on professional claims, are necessary elements for students to achieve their goal, namely to receive an elite education, based on the base they have. The results showed that the higher education of the parents and the status of the university they graduated from creates a more favorable ground for the successful career of their children. Personal experience of parents determines the ability to choose the level of professional claims of students.

The subject of this research was to determine the status of moral values among participants in the area of physical culture, as well as, in a wider sense, the desirability of introducing an ethical dimension into their education. Some of the fundamental ethical theories have been put into the function of experimental verification of their reception and application on a sample of students from the University of Belgrade’s Faculty of Sport and Physical Education. The goal of this research was to determine the students’ moral attitudes. To that purpose a questionnaire has been constructed and a research has been conducted on a total sample of 516 respondents. Research results have shown that there are certain differences between the consideration shown towards the moral aspects of physical culture between male and female students.

The school at Bessastaðir in Iceland (1805‒1846) prepared students for the clergy and further studies at the University of Copenhagen. Despite its emphasis on classical languages and theological studies it is considered to have had considerable influence on the development of the Icelandic language and language norms in the 19th century. The article discusses the status of the Icelandic language in the school curriculum but it also highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of language instruction through translations from Greek and Latin under the supervision of renowned experts in Old Icelandic who also were keen supporters of Icelandic language vocabulary development. Many able students built on this experience to pioneer the development of Modern Icelandic.Icelandic lessons in the Bessastaðir School timetable consisted of translations from Latin and Danish with less emphasis on literature; some attention was paid to grammar while orthography varied. The school was cramped and the building not fi t for purpose. This state of affairs prevailed until the school moved to Reykjavik in 1846, which opened up great possibilities. Finally, teaching of modern languages, including Icelandic, could be developed in the curriculum.Timetables in the Reykjavik Grammar School show increased emphasis on the subject Icelandic, both in number of hours and variety of content. Teaching of the subject was prescribed by official regulations and included Icelandic grammar as well as modern and medieval literature. Standardised orthography was developed and firmly established in the early years of the school by rules that were largely based on Old Icelandic. These rules are still mostly applicable in modern day Icelandic texts. The article describes these developments in the first few years of the Reykjavik Grammar School, largely based on the school ̓s archives and significant essay mate-rial from students at the time.

Stewart Crichton Miller, a mechanical engineer of great distinction, was the former Director of Engineering and Technology for Rolls-Royce plc, where he worked for over 40 years. Stewart was a foremost contributor to several of the company's most important development projects, chief among them being the RB211-535 engine project, which is used on Boeing 757 aircraft. Stewart was born on 2 July 1934 to William and Grace Miller in Kirkcaldy, Fife, where he spent his childhood. His primary school education at Kirkcaldy Fife High Primary School started on 4 September 1939, the day after war was declared. A contemporary, with whom he was a close friend during school years, is Archie Howie (F.R.S. 1978), a distinguished physicist and former Head of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. Professor Howie recalls that he and Stewart vied with each other for school prizes, etc., with Stewart emerging as the Dux of the primary school. On leaving primary school, Stewart attended Kirkcaldy High School from 1945 to 1951. It was there that he received the Scottish Higher Learning Certificate in 1950 and an award in the Edinburgh University Bursary Competition. He continued his education at the University of Edinburgh from 1951 to 1954, enrolling as an engineering degree candidate. His choice of engineering as a career was considered unusual by others for someone of his high academic abilities. However, this doubt only increased his determination. His research emphasis while studying was on mechanical vibration, which served as useful background for his later work at Rolls-Royce on turbo-machinery. He graduated in 1954 from Edinburgh with a BSc (firstclass honours) in mechanical engineering. After leaving university, Stewart spent two years completing a graduate apprenticeship with Rolls-Royce that marked the beginning of his extensive career. Spending his first year gaining workshop experience and his second in all the major technical offices, Stewart subsequently qualified to receive the status of Chartered Engineer.

In 1997, a group of scholars gathered at the University of Windsor to honorEdward W. Said and his lifetime achievements as a scholar and activist witha conference entitled “Culture, Politics, and Peace.” The present volume, a collection of the papers presented, show just how far reaching his influencehas been over the last three decades. While his profound influence on comparativeliterature and Palestine studies are well known, this volume revealshow his writings have prompted generations of scholars to question takenfor-granted postulations, discourses, and paradigms in literature, area studies,and politics. The papers also applaud his role as an advocate of thePalestinian cause and the way he has tirelessly and critically observed anddocumented the Palestinians’ fate.The three parts following Richard Falk’s introduction, “Nationalism,”“On Orientalism,” and “To Palestine,” address three dominant themes inSaid’s works. In “Empowering Inquiry: Our Debt to Edward W. Said,” Falkcelebrates Said’s work as a scholar of many interests and talents, and outlineshow his deeply humanist worldview, personal experience as an exile,and critical mind have produced the impressive oeuvre of a leading intellectualof our time. Falk is also the first to mention Said’s emphasis on secularismand his constant critique and warning against bringing religion intothe realm of knowledge and politics. This has not prevented Said fromdefending religious freedom and Muslims in particular, but might have ledhim to underestimate the moral and intellectual appeal of religious traditionsand a religious approach to knowledge. In the case of Palestine andPalestinian politics, his uncompromisingly secular and anti-sectarian viewsat times make his visions for the future seem incompatible with the region’srealities. Falk points out that Said’s rejection of religion relates to his rejectionof absolute truths, or the claim to it, and that he instead chose a “compassionateand engaged rationalism” as his worldview.The section on “Nationalities” starts with Lennard J. Davis’ fascinatingessay on “Nationality, Disability, and Deafness,” in which he convincinglyargues for the status of deaf people as a nation or community with nation-likefeatures. He explains his work with disability as influenced by Said’s workand engagement in political activism. Davis recalls his personal encounterswith Said as a teacher and scholar, and relates his own engagement in advocacyfor the deaf to Said’s influence ...

“The belly is the belle of his stories, the nose is their beau.“Vladimir Nabokov, Nikolai Gogol (1944)The subject of gastronomy—as it touches upon the significance of what, how, and why man eats—has begun to receive increasing attention in recent years, during which time quite a number of books on the history of food and drink have appeared. Scholars, moreover, have demonstrated a heightened interest lately in the anthropological aspects of this topic. Since eating is a human activity that by its very nature encompasses a social, a psychological, as well as a biological dimension, the depiction of fictional meals in literature allows this ritualistic event to be transformed into a narrative sign with vast semiotic possibilities—not only within the world of the literary work itself (intratextually) but also within a broader cultural context (extratextually).

Extended Discussion

Chapter 1 sets out the ways in which the status and identities of Muslims are caught up in the changing lives of universities. It begins with an account of the segregated seating controversy at University College London in 2013, illustrating how wider issues of power and cultural identity are evoked when the status of Islam within universities becomes the subject of public debate. This picture is developed and contextualized via an extended discussion of the nature of universities, set out as a series of contested histories, each of which privileges particular values and instates specific boundaries of cultural or academic legitimacy. Models considered are the university as public, as neoliberal, as a source of inclusion and exclusion, as postcolonial, and as a site of heightened risk. The chapter’s central aim is to consider how these strands contribute to the heightened ‘othering’ of Islam within ‘Western’ higher education.

Scholarly Attention

Issues concerning the status and rights of ethnic minorities in Central and Eastern Europe have become significant in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. A focus on co-nations in neighboring states, “others” in so-called nation-states, and questions of immigration dominate the media in many areas in Europe. Even though ethnic minorities and ethnic identity are part of modern conversation, the subject of ethnic minorities needs to receive serious scholarly attention to demonstrate its nuanced sense of meaning. Like nations, ethnic minorities are not static entities; they are not primordial. They are constructed or imagined in the same way nations are, even though there has been little scholarly attention devoted to minority building. In order to understand the complex meaning of an ethnic minority, one needs to view the creation of a minority—minority building—on different levels, and understand it as members of the minority understand it and as others perceive it.

Giacomino Malafossa’s A Question on the Subject of Metaphysics, in Which Is Included the Question Whether Metaphysics Is a Science, from 1551 (first printed 1553) consists of two parts. In the first part, the author discusses various positions regarding the subject matter of metaphysics. In particular, he debates which conditions any scientific object must fulfill, the most important one being that an object of a science virtually contains all of its truths. Since being as being virtually contains whatever is considered in metaphysics, this is the adequate object of metaphysics. In the second part, the author addresses the problem that the transcendental properties of being are not truly demonstrable. This endangers the status of metaphysics as a science in the strict Aristotelian sense. The author discusses various Scotist solutions to this problem. His own solution is that metaphysics indeed is a science in the strict sense, but only when it considers God, not when it considers being as being, thus unwittingly challenging Duns Scotus’s own idea that metaphysics is a “transcending science” because of its consideration of being and its transcendental properties. Malafossa’s Quaestio is an important example of the metaphysical discourse at the University of Padua in the sixteenth century.

Unambiguous Interpretation

The scientific article analyzes the procedural procedure for acquiring the status of a suspect under the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. It is stated that a person acquires the procedural status of a suspect from the moment of delivery of a notice of suspicion, and in case of impossibility to serve in person - after sending a notice of suspicion in another way. It is emphasized that it can be significantly more difficult to deliver a notice of suspicion in person if a person avoids meeting or appearing with an investigator or prosecutor. It is substantiated that short deadlines do not allow effective use of a formal summons to an investigator or prosecutor. The article draws attention to the fact that it is quite difficult to document the impossibility of personally delivering a notice of suspicion. It is emphasized that sending a report of suspicion in another way (at the place of residence, work) may be complicated by the fact that the place of residence or work may be absent or unknown to the investigator, prosecutor. It is noted that the terms "place of residence" and administration of "place of work" do not have an unambiguous interpretation, which allows to question the appropriateness of sending a notice of suspicion to a known investigator, prosecutor's ddress or place of work. The issue of the impossibility of confirming that the person received an e-mail with a notice of suspicion was raised. Based on the analysis of judicial practice and the practice of the High Council of Justice, it is stated that decisions to refuse to apply measures to ensure criminal proceedings in case of insufficient measures to serve a notice of suspicion are not uncommon. It is stated that in the conditions of the need to deliver a notice of suspicion to a personally suspected or related person, the presence or absence of a person's desire to receive a notice of suspicion is of great importance. That is, the acquisition of procedural status of a suspect depends on the desire of the suspect. It is substantiated that the optimal way to reform the legislation is to obtain the procedural status of a suspect on the basis of the relevant resolution of the investigator, prosecutor.

Stop for a moment and ask yourself what you know about monosodium glutamate. If you’re anything like most Americans, your thoughts on the subject are probably simple: MSG is an artificial flavoring most often used with Chinese food, which should be avoided because it’s bad for you and gives you headaches. If this is your thinking, you’re not alone. For the past fifty years, this has been the conventional American understanding of MSG. But times change. Recently, a vocal movement has sprung up that advocates for an end to the stigma surrounding MSG, as detailed in a Buzzfeed article by John Mahoney titled, “The Notorious MSG’s Unlikely Formula For Success.” Mahoney suggests that a new cultural context is emerging, spearheaded by a group of celebrity chefs who take the iconoclastic position that we should reintroduce MSG to our palates. They argue that beyond the merits of its delicious savory flavor, referred to as “umami,” society’s trepidations about the ingredient are based on research born out of stark racism and bad science which have perpetuated a myth about MSG’s toxicity [1]. But the old guard isn’t going quietly, and just as vocal as the pro-MSG camp are those who fear a change to the status quo.
