This concluding chapter discusses ways democratic professionalism can be cultivated. To share information and experiences, existing networks of reform-minded professionals in fields such as education, criminal justice, and public administration can be supported by nonprofit organizations concerned with citizen agency and democratic renewal. There is also a role to be played by colleges and universities, whose specialized degrees and advanced training are gateways to the professional world. Unfortunately, non-participatory managerial tendencies are common in higher education. To foster democratic professionalism rather than reproduce social trustee attitudes, universities need greater power-sharing on campus and a different conception of professional education. To be contributors rather than barriers to an emerging culture of participatory innovation, academics need to listen more, take up the knowledge of people outside normal disciplinary channels, and learn about different modes of task-sharing, collaboration, and co-ownership pioneered by non-academic innovators.

The need to train highly qualified translators necessitates the need to train professional translation teachers in higher education institutions of Ukraine. The purpose of our work is to analyze the situation in the field of training translation teachers in higher education institutions of Ukraine and other countries, analyze the ways and methods of training translation teachers today and develop proposals for possible formats for training these specialists. In order to determine the requirements for translation teachers and determine the conceptual and categorical apparatus of our research we used a number of methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization of scientific and educational sources (Ukrainian and foreign ones), as well as observation, questionnaires and surveys to identify problems in the professional growth of translation teachers. It was revealed that today there is a situation when translation is taught either by the translators who do not have pedagogical education, or by the teachers of foreign languages who do not have translator’s diplomas and often do not have practical translation experience. Both categories require additional training that complements their education. The current system of short-term advanced training courses does not fully meet the task of filling gaps in the professional education of translation teachers. The author suggests the development and implementation of programs for retraining and training translation teachers that can be provided for different content depending on the previous experience of translation teachers. In both types of programs, the pedagogical and translation components of education will complement each other, so that graduates will be able to form the educational competencies necessary for a qualified translation teacher in higher education institutions. Special attention should be paid to translation didactics which has not yet been taught either in educational program for training translators, or in programs for training and advanced training of teachers. The prospects for further scientific research in this direction consist in designing and developing with taking into account modern achievements in science and practice of translating the content of the program and implementing it in higher education institutions that need such programs.Key words: translation teachers, educational program, translation, retraining program, advanced training, higher education institutions. Необхідність підготовки висококваліфікованих перекладачів диктує необхідність підготовки професійних викладачів перекладу в закладах вищої освіти України. Метою нашої роботи є аналіз ситуації у сфері підготовки викладачів перекладу у закладах вищої освіти України та інших країн, аналіз способів і методів підготовки викладачів перекладу сьогодні та вироблення пропозиції щодо можливих форматів підготовки цих фахівців. Задля визначення вимог до викладачів перекладу та поняттєво-кате-горіального апарату дослідження було використано низку методів, таких як аналіз, синтез, порівняння й узагальнення науково-освітніх джерел (вітчизняних і закордонних), а також спостереження, анкетування та опитування для виявлення проблем у професійному зростанні викладачів перекладу. Було виявлено, що сьогодні склалася ситуація, коли перекладу навчають або перекладачі, які не мають педагогічної освіти, або викладачі іноземних мов, які не мають диплома перекладача і часто не мають практичного досвіду перекладу. Обидві категорії потребують додаткової підготовки, яка доповнювала б їх освіту. Наявна система короткострокових курсів підвищення кваліфікації не зовсім відповідає завданню заповнення прогалин у професійній освіті викладачів перекладу. Автором пропонується розроблення та впровадження програм для перепідготовки та підготовки викладачів перекладу, що передбачає різне наповнення залежно від їхнього попереднього досвіду. В обох типах програм педагогічний і перекладацький компоненти освіти будуть доповнювати один одного, отже, випускники зможуть сформувати освітні компетентності, необхідні для кваліфікованого викладача перекладу у закладах вищої освіти. Особливу увагу необхідно зосередити на перекладацькій дидактиці, яка досі не викладалася ні в освітніх програмах підготовки перекладачів, ні в програмах підготовки та підвищення кваліфікації викладачів. Перспективи подальших наукових пошуків у цьому напрямі полягають у проєктуванні та розробленні з урахуванням сучасних досягнень у науці та практиці перекладу змістового наповнення такої програми та впровадження її у закладах вищої освіти, які цього потребують.Ключові слова: викладачі перекладу, освітня програма, переклад, програма перепідготовки, підвищення кваліфікації, заклади вищої освіти.

Objective The objective of the study was to examine specific patterns of Twitter usage using common reference to tinnitus. Method The study used cross-sectional analysis of data generated from Twitter data. Twitter content, language, reach, users, accounts, temporal trends, and social networks were examined. Results Around 70,000 tweets were identified and analyzed from May to October 2018. Of the 100 most active Twitter accounts, organizations owned 52%, individuals owned 44%, and 4% of the accounts were unknown. Commercial/for-profit and nonprofit organizations were the most common organization account owners (i.e., 26% and 16%, respectively). Seven unique tweets were identified with a reach of over 400 Twitter users. The greatest reach exceeded 2,000 users. Temporal analysis identified retweet outliers (> 200 retweets per hour) that corresponded to a widely publicized event involving the response of a Twitter user to another user's joke. Content analysis indicated that Twitter is a platform that primarily functions to advocate, share personal experiences, or share information about management of tinnitus rather than to provide social support and build relationships. Conclusions Twitter accounts owned by organizations outnumbered individual accounts, and commercial/for-profit user accounts were the most frequently active organization account type. Analyses of social media use can be helpful in discovering issues of interest to the tinnitus community as well as determining which users and organizations are dominating social network conversations.

The author of this article argues that the two-decades-long litigation struggle was necessary to push the political actors in Mississippi into a more virtuous than vicious legal/political negotiation. The second and related argument, however, is that neither the 1992 United States Supreme Court decision in Fordice nor the negotiation provided an adequate riposte to plaintiffs’ claims. The author shows that their chief counsel for the first phase of the litigation wanted equality of opportunity for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), as did the plaintiffs. In the course of explicating the role of a legal grass-roots humanitarian, Coleman suggests lessons learned and trade-offs from that case/negotiation, describing the tradeoffs as part of the political vestiges of legal racism in black public higher education and the need to move HBCUs to a higher level of opportunity at a critical juncture in the life of tuition-dependent colleges and universities in the United States. Throughout the essay the following questions pose themselves: In thinking about the Road to Fordice and to political settlement, would the Justice Department lawyers and the plaintiffs’ lawyers connect at the point of their shared strength? Would the timing of the settlement benefit the plaintiffs and/or the State? Could plaintiffs’ lawyers hold together for the length of the case and move each piece of the case forward in a winning strategy? Who were plaintiffs’ opponents and what was their strategy? With these questions in mind, the author offers an analysis of how the campaign— political/legal arguments and political/legal remedies to remove the vestiges of de jure segregation in higher education—unfolded in Mississippi, with special emphasis on the initiating lawyer in Ayers v. Waller and Fordice, Isaiah Madison

This work has been done to recognize the various contributing disciplines in colleges and universities to achieving the global goals. One aim is to point out the many college disciplines internationally that would contribute to these goals. Only four out of the global goals seem not to be directly contributed to by sustainable engineering. A presentation of relevant publications has been made of the role of sustainable engineering in accomplishing the 17 global goals of the United Nations. The pervasiveness and long reach of the many branches of sustainable engineering are evident. The implied importance of good quality engineering schools and colleges worldwide cannot be refuted.

Two of the more promising lines of inquiry in efforts to understand the hypothesized linkage between organizational culture and effectiveness have focused on the differential effectiveness of organizations depending on their dominant culture type and their culture strength. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether these two lines of inquiry operate in an independent or conditional manner in explaining the hypothesized linkage between organizational culture and the performance of a sample of four-year colleges and universities. The findings provide support for both lines of inquiry, albeit not entirely in a manner suggested by their respective proponents. For example, while culture type has a decidedly stronger independent effect on institutional performance than culture strength, the differences are clearly more pronounced on campuses with “strong” rather than “weak” cultures. The implications of these findings for research on and efforts to improve the performance of colleges and universities are discussed.
