AbstractThe author revisits works produced during the time of socialist Yugoslavia to assess the historiographical literature on the German occupation regimes there. He concludes that since Yugoslavia’s demise there has been hardly any evolution towards a more solid nor more differentiated historiography such as would meet international standards. To be sure, significant new research has been produced, but it has been hampered by the narrow and often difficult academic frameworks that have existed in the last twenty-five years. Scholars have been expected to respond to the new nationalized agendas of the successor states, and have seen few structural incentives to link their work to international research networks, or to the work of their colleagues in neighbouring countries. The author’s focus is the German occupation of Serbia, but he includes some examples of scholars whose focus is German-occupied Slovenia, or the Independent State of Croatia, and he keeps in perspective the wider (Southeast) European contexts.

PURPOSE International research networks have the potential to accelerate scientific progress via knowledge sharing and collaboration. In 2018, the US National Cancer Institute evaluated the International Cancer Screening Network (ICSN), in operation since 1988. METHODS ICSN hosts a biennial scientific meeting and scientific working groups. A survey was fielded to 665 ICSN participants, and a bibliometric analysis was conducted for ICSN publications. RESULTS A total of 243 individuals completed the survey (36.5%). They reported that participating in the ICSN helped advance their knowledge of cancer screening research (75.7%), policy development (56%), and implementation (47.7%). Approximately three-quarters agreed that ICSN facilitated knowledge sharing and networking among researchers and implementers (79.9%) and those working on different continents (74.0%) and cancer sites (73.7%). More than half reported that participating helped them form new collaborations in screening implementation (58.0%) or research (57.6%). Most agreed that ICSN helped to advance screening research and evaluation (75.4%), effective screening practices (71.2%), and screening policies (60.9%). Many reported that participating informed advances in their own research (68.7%) and screening implementation (50.2%) and policies (49.4%) in their settings. Approximately two-thirds agreed that ICSN helped advance career development among current experts (66.6%) and train the next generation (62.2%). Half (51.4%) reported that participating advanced their own careers. The 20 ICSN publications included 75 coauthors. They were cited in 589 publications with more than 2,000 coauthors. CONCLUSION Findings provide evidence of the influence of ICSN on international knowledge dissemination, collaboration, and advances in cancer screening research, implementation, and policies and highlight the potential value of longstanding international research networks.

<p>This critique aimed to; 1) synthesize a body of knowledge of educational research methodology, 2) analyze and compare educational research methodology in Thai and international research articles, and 3) critique problems, strengths and weaknesses and put forward suggestions for standardizing Thai educational research methodology. Data were obtained from eight international textbooks, 95 articles and four Thai educational research methodology experts. Results revealed that the principles and international standards of educational research methodology included eight methodological categories which covered 34 characteristics. Findings from a comparison of Thai and international research articles indicated that Thai and international research articles were similar in 15 characteristics and different in five characteristics. Thai research articles had six problems relating to educational research methodology: information searching and English skills, educational research instruction, lack of experts in educational research methodology, research finding distribution, educational researcher development, and research article format. </p>

Despite the State’s exerted efforts in preserving Egyptian monuments as tourist destinations, Ain Al-Sira area has been suffering from multiple problems. The modern construction arts within the historical area and its architectural heritage have been ignored, as well as the construction of contemporary residential buildings not related to the historical area. The purpose of the research is to develop the architectural heritage of the residential neighborhoods in Ain Al-Sira in line with the architectural facades of the ancient historical monuments with a view to the restoration of these monuments, which have changed their faces and their architectural efficiency due to their obsolescence, weather and time factors and overcoming the scarcity of maintenance and restoration works. The new research includes the development of interim strategies in the implementation of the restoration and development of monuments and architectural style of residential neighborhoods in the area of Ain Al-Sira.The motive of the research was the existence of a problem in the current local architectural formations, which is the lack of integration and harmony of ancient monuments with new neighborhoods and the imbalance between them.

The relevance of the research is determined by the increasing risks related to incorrect communication both professional and interpersonal ones within the ship crew, which, in turn, emphasizes the importance of professional English-language training for a navigator, which begins during the period of study at a university and lasts throughout the entire career. The requirements for proficiency in professional English-language communication are regulated by international standards, which is of great importance in assessing the professional competence of a navigator. The research problem is as follows: how does English-language vocational training at a maritime university affect interpersonal relations in mixed crews, the professional growth of a sailor and reduce the risks in his professional activity? The aim of the study is to determine the main tasks of a university professional English-language training in the format of negotiating at sea in order to minimize possible risks in the work of a deck officer. The research methods used are analysis, synthesis, generalization. The experimental base was the Institute of Water Transport named after G.Ya. Sedov. The research results. Professional risks of a navigator have been analyzed, factors and consequences of risks at sea have been identified; the meanings of the concepts of «language barrier», «human factor», «barrier of misunderstanding», «communicative risk» have been disclosed; the influence of flexible skills on the safety of life and work in a team have been substantiated; the theory of continuous professional English-speaking training of seafarers has been described. Key findings: communication skills of navigators should be formed by integrating English into the disciplines of the professional cycle; the introduction of modern educational technologies in the process of teaching professional maritime English, continuous professional development of English teachers. Development of social partnership will increase the efficiency of the process itself.

ORION is a digital art history research-oriented project focused on the study of art collections and collectors in Portugal, supported on a relational database management system. Besides the obvious advantage of organizing and systematizing an enormous amount of information, promoting its analysis, this database was specifically designed to highlight the relationships between data. Its relational capacity is not only one of the most relevant features of ORION, but a differentiating quality, one step forward in comparison to other international databases and studies that use digital methodologies. This article discusses the methods and the advantages of using ORION in research related to the history of collecting, art markets and provenance of art objects in Portugal, where it is the very first time that an approach such as this is intended, looking for a systematization of data that paves the way to the emergence of new research questions. Furthermore, and because ORION aims to share the data and knowledge with other projects, institutions and researchers, the database uses different international standards, such as data structure (CIDOC-OIC and Getty-CDWA), controlled vocabulary (Iconclass, Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT), Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN), and Union List of Artist Names (ULAN)) and communication and exchange of information (CIDOC-CRM).
