The following article is based on a qualitative research developed in three Buenos Aires City and Buenos Aires Province high-schools that define themselves “elite educational institutions”.  Our purpose is to analyze the pedagogical work conducted by these institutions in relation to how they monitor their students’ trajectories and its examination systems. On the one hand, we identify strategies of personalization that account for an institutional set-up with close links between teachers and students, which enables them to overcome the hurdles to a system based on international exams. On the other, strategies of autonomy devolve to students’ responsibility for their own results, encouraging them to compete amongst themselves. These differences are connected to the academic selection systems established by each of the institutions. By inquiring into these dynamics, we have a better understanding of how these institutions function and how they contribute to the processes of socialization and reproduction of specific segments aimed at occupying elite positions. This paper also addresses the role played by the teachers as symbolic facilitators who, through their work, contribute to the selection of those groups.

For several years, in some regions of Ukraine, attempts have been made to clericalise educational institutions, transfer them to a comprehensive school, and in some places - to higher educational institutions, an atmosphere of interfaith rivalry, inter-church confrontation, imposing not only a religious worldview on the one or our religion Moscow, or the Kyivan Patriarchate) or the Roman Catholic or Greek Catholic Church, but also certain socio-political and ideological-spiritual orientations and norms of behavior, which, in the first place, znachayetsya the moral and psychological atmosphere of the children, on the one hand, and the relationship between teachers and students, parents of students and teachers of schools - the other

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

Character education is a vital instrument in determining the progress of a nation. Therefore the government needs to build educational institutions in order to produce good human resources that are ready to oversee and deliver the nation at a progressive level. It’s just that in reality, national education is not in line with the ideals of national education because the output is not in tune with moral values on the one hand and the potential for individuals to compete in world intellectual order on the other hand. Therefore, as a solution to these problems is the need for the applicationof character education from an early age.

Discipline in class is essential. Without it the educational processes and teachings are difficult. In this manner curricula goals are almost impossible to achieve. There are and there always will be some kind of conflicts between teachers and students, but they should not evolve to become a problem. Teachers (especially elderly teachers) often express pessimism of contemporary students. They say that today's students have less knowledge, they do misbehave more often than previous generations. A study among students was conducted. It was trying to determine the rate of discipline in schools in Celje to see if these statements are true. The questionnaire to students of one primary and one high school in Celje, Slovenia were distributed. The answers from 234 students were received. On the one hand, it was found out that senior high school students have the worst level of discipline of all the grades tested. They themselves assess their class atmosphere as less disciplined. They report that teachers use a lot of time to calm the class down. All this is probably a factor in lower average grade that the senior high school students have. On the other hand, it was found out that teachers do not react to the disturbance or they are trying to be repressive. These are not the correct ways of dealing with discipline issues. Therefore, there are some recommended ways how teachers should react. Keywords: discipline in class, primary school, contemporary student, elderly teachers.

This article refers to carbon valuation as the practice of ascribing value to, and assessing the value of, actions and objects in terms of carbon emissions. Due to the pervasiveness of carbon emissions in the actions and objects of everyday lives of human beings, the making of carbon offsets and credits offers almost unlimited repertoires of alternatives to be included in contemporary carbon valuation schemes. Consequently, the article unpacks how discussions of carbon valuation are interpreted through different registers of alternatives - as the commensuration and substitution of variants on the one hand, and the confrontational comparison of radical difference on the other. Through the reading of a wide selection of the social science literature on carbon markets and trading, the article argues that the value of carbon emissions itself depends on the construction of alternative, hypothetical scenarios, and that emissions have become both a moral and a virtual measure pitting diverse forms of actualised actions or objects against each other or against corresponding nonactions and non-objects as alternatives.

The present paper addresses the issue of determining the best international practices for developing soft skills among students of different specialties through carrying out a theoretical review. Basing on literature on present-day theory the authors make an attempt to explain soft skills dichotomies, summarize existing approaches to classifying soft skills, consolidate and document best international practices for soft skills development among potential employees of different specialties including bachelor students, master students, doctoral and postdoctoral students. The data obtained in the theoretical analysis reveal that the possible ambiguities in the interpretation of the concept of “soft skills” are caused, on the one hand, by the dichotomic perception of their nature by present-day researchers and educators and, on the other hand, by the absence of the common language which makes it difficult to provide a more unified definition most satisfactory to all concerned. The authors are convinced that soft skills have a cross-cutting nature and regard them as personal and interpersonal meta-qualities and meta-abilities that are vital to any potential employee who is going to make positive contributions not only to his/her professional development but to the development of a company he/she is going to work for. The results of the conducted theoretical review clearly indicate that the absence of the unified understanding of the concept of “soft skills” is reflected in the existence of different approaches to classifying soft skills, let alone, the selection of didactic tools for developing soft skills among potential employees.

The article justifies for the need to identify and to keep track, in practice, of different groups of risks inherent in educational institutions under current conditions of pandemic and post-pandemic transformation of education under the influence of modern world uncertainty. Transformation of education functions in the epoch of digital economy changes the content and types of risks concomitant to the activities carried out by schools. Schools belong to the most conservative types of organizations. However, the environment in which schools operate is constantly changing. An educational institution, as any enterprise, has to engage in the activity aimed at risk management. Manifestation of the risk is, on the one hand, fraught with threats and damage, on the other hand, with opportunities. Assessment of possible threats and risks allows timely projection of undesirable results, creation of a system for situational response to unforeseen circumstances and, in the final analysis, formulation of a strategy for development of the university which would allow achievement of modern high quality education, its fundamentality and conformity to important topical requirements of the personality, society and state. Causes of developing risks characteristic of educational institutions are disclosed. External and internal risks characteristic of educational institutions, sources generating them and the importance of managing them are analyzed. The analysis of risks made reveals multi-varied threats and opportunities in the external and internal envi-ronment of the institution and their ability to have a significant effect on educational, organizational and financial activities of the schools.

Desde la crisis financiera de 1929, las relaciones económicas entre países vivieron un período de acomodación que afianzó y a la vez generó vínculos bilaterales en la oferta y demanda de mercancías. Simultáneamente al estallido de la crisis, un puerto de ultramar de la región central de la provincia de Buenos Aires en Argentina comenzó a operar como exportador de granos. La pregunta que intentamos responder es cómo interactuaron ambos procesos tanto en la región adyacente al puerto (hinterland) como en el alcance mundial que alcanzaron las exportaciones salidas por él (foreland). Nuestro objetivo es medir y evaluar la adaptación de un puerto y su hinterland a este doble contexto de crisis y apertura internacional. Para alcanzarlo hemos confeccionado una base de datos con los registros del tráfico naviero llevado por la policía portuaria local (la Prefectura Nacional Marítima) y la Aduana de Puerto Quequén, a la que hemos cruzado con otras estadísticas oficiales acerca de la producción en el área y el volumen y tipo de exportaciones extraídas por el puerto. Los resultados obtenidos muestran por un lado una correlación positiva entre la apertura portuaria y el volumen de la producción del hinterland y por otro la conformación de un foreland alternativo al previo a la crisis para la economía del país, el cual implicó un mayor acercamiento a los países de la región. Un foreland segmentado al que remitían con casi exclusividad forrajes (avena y cebada) para los puertos ubicados en Europa y trigo para diversos puertos americanos. La crisis, al menos mirada desde Puerto Quequén, fue oportunidad de redefinición de la producción, de experimentación de circuitos económicos, de integración con la región continental y de reducción de parte de la dependencia tradicional de la demanda europea. Palabras clave: historia, puerto, exportaciones agrícolas,  Gran Depresión, Puerto Quequén.Between the Crisis and a New Port: The Agricultural Exports of the Region of Puerto Quequén during the Great Depression (1929-1939)AbstractFrom the financial crisis of 1929, the economic relations between countries lived a period of accommodation that guaranteed and simultaneously it generated bilateral links in the offer and demand of goods. Simultaneously to the start of the crisis, a port of overseas in the central region of the Buenos Aires province in Argentina began to operate as exporter of grains. The question that we try to answer is how both processes interacted in the adjacent region to the port (hinterland) as well as the world scope of the exports (foreland). Our aim is to measure and to evaluate the adjustment of a port and his hinterland to this double context of crisis and international opening. To reach it we have made a database with the records of the shipping traffic taken by the port local police (the National Maritime Prefecture) and the Customs of Port Quequén, to which we have crossed with other official statistics brings over of the production in the area and the volume and type of exports extracted by the port. The obtained results show on the one hand a positive correlation between the port opening and the volume of the production in the hinterland and for other one the conformation of an alternative foreland to the before one the crisis for the economy of the country, which implied a major approximation to the countries of the region. A segmented foreland, from which it was sent almost in exclusivity, forage (oats and barley) for the ports located in Europe and wheat for diverse American ports. The crises −at least looked from Port Quequén- was an opportunity of redefinition of the production, of experimentation of economic circuits, of integration with the continental region and of reduction on behalf of the traditional dependence of the European demand. Keywords: history, port, agricultural exports, Great Depression, Port Quequén.

The article provides a selection of studies on the problem of developing languages for the mutual description of migrants and the host society. The authors consider the problem, on the one hand, through the prism of heterogeneity of the language for describing migrants in the host society, and on the other, through the absence of legitimate representatives of migrants representing them in the dialogue with the Russian society. It offers a point of view on the reasons for the dominance of ethnic discourse in the description of migrants and the migration situation, and wide pluralism in the use of ethnic categories in describing migration. It is shown that migrants do not participate in the development of rhetoric of organisations recognised by the authorities as their legitimate representatives. The article raises the question about the formation of new representatives of migrant groups, whose legitimacy is based not on powers delegated by the authorities, but on recognition by horizontal communities. It is assumed that, on the basis of the network representations, a mechanism is being formed for the humanisation of the image of migrants through the return of subjectivity in communication with the host society

It is related leg problems to the realization of the necessity of doing a detailed analysis of the phenotype correlations between body weight and exterior measurements. As a result of the study, lower coefficients have been obtained of the correlation between the girth of the tarso metatarsus on one hand, and the body weight and the girth behind the wings, on the other hand (respectively 0.563 and 0.608), compared with the one between the body weight and the girth behind the wings (0.898). It is advisable in the selection of ostriches to take into consideration the necessity of a higher phenotypic correlation between the girth of the tarso metatarsus on the one hand, and the body weight and the girth behind the wings on the other hand, with a view to preventing leg problems.
