The Introduction explains how this book represents a new departure in the study of Mandelstam and, more broadly, reflects on what poetic difficulty means. It explains how the rise of structuralist poetics/subtext criticism and Judaic studies coincided with the rediscovery of Mandelstam, leading to an explosion of scholarly work on his poetics (essentially limited to his first two collections) and biography on those terms. Those paradigms have run their course, and work less well for the post-1930 writings because of fundamental changes in Mandelstam’s poetics that require new critical thinking. There are virtually no studies of his love lyric or the later poetry. A vast amount of new material (contextual, textual, and biographical) makes this the right time to produce a major study that sets out a revisionist picture of a poet who, far from being in retreat from his time, was an engagé in the task of cultural revolution.

This writing aims to help teachers to increase motivation, activity, creativity, and critical thinking of students in solving problems in class. The way to increase student motivation in learning in class is to choose the right learning model with ongoing learning material. One learning model that increases students' creativity and critical thinking in problem solving is a Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. To improve students' insights in order to easily solve problems there is a need to do tasks, if students do not do the task then they must accept the agreed upon consequences when making learning contracts, thus modifying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model with task strategies and forced. The results of the modification of learning with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model through forced and forced strategies are expected to improve the learning process so that students become more disciplined and do not waste time doing assignments. The advantages of modifying the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model with task and forced learning strategies are increasing student learning motivation, improving the quality of learning, training students' understanding by giving assignments continuously, teaching discipline to students in order to be accountable for tasks assigned, and reducing laziness in students.

AbstractIntroduction: In this article, we want to point out what kind of pedagogical and didactic change is being recorded in Slovakia’s education system and we will point out where it could go and develop to achieve positive results. This article is one of the upcoming outputs in the form of paper and study on the provision of structured, analytical and critical thinking (SAC). In the article, it is shown how the situation has changed and how we perceive the attitude of students during the educational process. Next, it is described current problems and inadequacies in the educational process and define how to use a change of thinking to increase motivation and improve access to knowledge.Purpose: In general, there is a consensus that it is important for teachers to be able to guide their students to problem-solving skills (Aktaş & Ünlü, 2013). It is pointed out that, with the right educational tools, such skills can be stimulated, developed and improved (Jordaan & Jordaan, 2005). This article is designed for all levels of education, but we are mostly concerned with educating future educators.Methods: In this paper, there are described methods that can help to improve the quality of thinking of students and thus increase the level of thinking of the whole society. This article take inspiration from important historical personalities as well as relevant current personalities in their professions. Critical, analytical and creative thinking, also based on logical and structured thinking, is our main method of our educational process.Conclusion: In conclusion, it is pointed out the need to develop SAC as a whole. It is important for the general publica to have better skills in SAC, for example, from the point of view of cognitive mistakes in experts, in the field of political literacy, recognition of misinformation and a better general awareness of rational thinking. As can be seen, SAC is not only about education, but it also closely affects society as a whole. It can thus influence the operation of the company, prevent the development of the first-class solutions offered and raise the whole company to a higher level.

Economists have long thought that an increase in minimum wage rates would lead to higher unemployment of unskilled workers. The higher minimum rates would cause employers to substitute other classes of labour or capital for unskilled labour and to contract output. Situations in which an increase in minimum wage rates will not increase unemployment do not seem to be practically relevant. The results of Card and Krueger have reopened this question. In their major study a survey of fast food outlets suggested that an increase in the minimum wage rate actually increased employment. Unfortunately, closer inspection of their results has not justified the attention paid to their study. The quality of their data is suspect and other data support the traditional view. In addition, the interpretation of their results is very questionable. The new material actually gives economists no reason to revise their traditional view on this subject.

Reviewing and buying the right goods from online websites is growing day by day in today's fast internet environment. Numerous goods in the same label are available to consumers. It is thus a difficult job for consumers to pick up the correct commodity at a decent price under different market conditions. Therefore, it is important for owners of online shopping websites to better understand their customers' needs and offer better services. For these reasons, the access log documented a vast amount of data related to user interactions with the websites. This access log therefore plays a key role in predicting user access trends and in recommending the best product to consumers. This research work therefore focuses on one such methodology for evaluating the pattern and behavioral analysis of users in e-commerce websites.

La década del noventa significó un grave retroceso para la tradición de pen­samiento crítico en América Latina. El colonialismo intelectual degradó esa valiosa cualidad que había distinguido a nuestras ciencias sociales en los años sesenta y setenta: pensar críticamente desde América Latina y para América Latina. La interdisciplinariedad y la historicidad fueron reemplazadas por una reclusión en el núcleo duro de saberes específicos, los cuales prescindie­ron de toda referencia temporal en nombre de la objetividad. Concomitante­mente, se multiplicaron las citas de autoridad de pensadores foráneos que, en general, desconocían los problemas específicos de nuestra región. En años recientes la crítica, como característica indispensable para una ciencia propia, se había revalorizado de la mano de proyectos políticos que afirmaban la soberanía nacional, en consonancia con la autonomía intelectual. Pero el giro a la derecha que se está produciendo en el mundo y en la región en la actual coyuntura está provocando un grave embate a la capacidad crítica. Este ar­tículo propone pensar la sociología crítica latinoamericana como sociología histórica desde la perspectiva de la hibridación de disciplinas, para luego trazar una genealogía de pensamiento crítico que se perfila como proyecto intelectual de transformación social. Palabras clave: sociología latinoamericana, sociología histórica, pensamiento latinoamericano, pensamiento crítico. The critical as an intellectual project. A continued thread of Latin American social thinkingAbstract The decade of 1990’s represented a sharp setback for the critical thinking tradition in Latin America. Intellectual colonialism undermined that valua­ble quality that had distinguished our social sciences in the 1960s and 1970s: to think critically from Latin America and for Latin America. Inter discipli­nes and historicity were replaced by a reclusion in the hard core of specific knowledge, which managed without temporal references in the name of objectivity. Likewise, authority quotations were multiplied by foreign thinkers, who, in general, did not know the specific problems of our region. In recent years, criticism, as an essential characteristic for a science of its own, had been revalued by political projects affirming national sovereignty, in line with intellectual autonomy. But the shift to the right occurring in the world and in the region in the current conjuncture is generating a serious conflict with the critical capacity. This article proposes to think of the critical Latin American sociology as historical sociology from the perspective of hybridi­zation of disciplines, in order to trace a genealogy of critical thinking that emerges as an intellectual project for social transformation. ­Keywords: Latin American sociology, historical sociology, Latin American thinking, critical thinking.A crítica como projeto intelectual. Hilvanes conti­nuistas do pensamento social latino-americano ResumoA década do 90 representou um grave revés para a tradição do pensamento crítico na América Latina.
