The Impact

This study sets out the results of media effects experiment of two historical documentaries, conducted within joint research project “Broadcasting History in the Transnational Space” by the Vienna University and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv researchers’ team. The main objectives of the study were to explore the impact of Holocaust and Holodomor documentaries on personal traits changing, psychological inclinations, as well as on representations of historical issues. Juergen Grimm’s model “Multidimensional-Imparting-of-History” (MIH) was used for assessing imparting history. The method of modelling was the basic method used during the research. It covers empirical indices of humanitarian values, national identity as well as European and Asian identification. Total of 185 student volunteers (1st to 3rd year of studies at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) were involved in the experiment. Students watched two documentaries about two major historical tragedies of the 20th century: Holocaust (Genocide of Jews) in Europe during 1939–1945 and Holodomor (Great Artificial Famine) in Ukraine during 1932–1933. Before and after being exposed to the documentaries, students filled out a questionnaire that included social-identity, national-identity as well as psychological parts. The main finding of the experiment is the students’ significant predilection to compromise and reduce conflictive and aggression traits. Under the impact of both documentaries, we observed the growth of the disposition for transnational and trans-ethnic community-building (Communitas Skills) and general tendency towards cosmopolitan problem-solving and commitment for universal human rights (Political Humanitas).

The Impact

In turn of the global warming and driven by the constant need for resources an increasing number of commercial and scientific activities conquer the Arctic in order to benefit from almost untouched resources like oil and gas but also from the overwhelming nature. These activities are accompanied by a steadily increasing number of vessels transporting goods but also operating personnel, scientists or tourists. Especially the number of tourists visiting the Arctic can reach far more than 1000 per vessel, resulting in growing headaches for the responsible safety and security authorities in the Arctic surrounding countries. Up to now no suitable Escape, Evacuation and Rescue (EER) concept is in place to cope with these challenges when it comes to hazardous situations. In this context IMPaC ([1]) developed a new and appropriate EER concept for the Arctic, exceeding the currently dominant small and isolated settlements along the coastlines in Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Russia, Canada and the US. One question seems to be central: Is there any requirement and benefit beyond the currently used small rescue station? Yes, we strongly believe that there is a growing demand for suitable infrastructure coming from various industries. Beyond rescue objectives there is a demand for people working and living in this area all year long, for a few days, weeks or months using these settlements for their specific needs. This led us to the idea of the provision of a common-use infrastructure for multiple industries. The commonly used infrastructure maximizes the use of the remote and very expensive infrastructure and minimizes the impact on the environment in this part of the world. Potential users of this infrastructure would be: • Oil & Gas Industry, driven by the increased world energy demand • Marine Transport & Tourism Industry, driven by declined arctic ice and new sea routes via the Arctic sea • Fishery Industry • Scientific community Any EER concept for the Arctic has to cope with several specific environmental and spatial challenges as addressed by the EU joint research project ACCESS ([2]), where IMPaC participates. The paper introduces the new EER concept and focuses especially on its beneficial, efficient and safe operability in the Arctic recording an increasing number of commercial and scientific activities.

The article discusses about the main stages of the historical development of Ural regions through the prism of toponymy dates. The article was prepared as part of a joint research project «Research of historical toponymy of some regions of the West Kazakhstan» of L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University and Zhangir Khan West Kazakhstan Agrarian-Technical University. In 2019, the team of authors conducted research on the historical toponyms of the Baiterek, Burly, Terekty districts of West Kazakhstan region. The toponymy of area is a kind of primitive knowledge of the surrounding nature, geography, which closely related to the way of economic life. Studying of the toponyms of the region, coupled with historical and ethnographic sources, contributes to understand many past events. In this research authors used field studies conducted in the territories of these regions in 2019, published materials from previous years, written sources of the pre-revolutionary period, and oral history materials.

Marital Behavior

The impact of the Thirty Years' War on the population of Bohemia has been overestimated, because research on a variety of sources for the period around the year 1651 suggests not only that there were long-term continuities in marital behavior (such as high proportions married) but also that some of the consequences attributed directly to warfare might well be explained by reference to inaccuracies of the source or to such population dynamics as emigration. A joint research project involving the University of Vienna, Charles University in Prague, and the State Central Archives in Prague is exploring socioeconomic dimensions of population change in mid-seventeenth-century Bohemia in order to test older assumptions and to develop new insights.

This paper describes a workshop led by female Engineering Technology students, with support from female faculty, to provide an introduction to Engineering Technology to 4th – 7th grade girls through a series of interactive laboratory experiments. This outreach program was developed to improve attitudes towards science and engineering in middle school-aged girls by making science tangible and fun. The workshop takes place on a college campus and makes use of four different Engineering Technology laboratories. Each lab activity includes a hands-on experiment, beginning with an overview of the engineering technology discipline and a brief description of the theories related to the experiment. The day culminates with a panel session between the participants and the college students. An ancillary outcome of the program is that it serves as a community building event for female Engineering Technology college students. Connections are developed between the students and between students and faculty in the college. The college students gain the satisfaction of influencing the attitudes of participants and develop critical communication skills. An attitude survey given to participants before and after the workshop shows that participation in these workshops results in a more positive attitude towards science and technology. College student volunteers were also surveyed after the workshop to determine the impact of their participation. A full workshop description is given in this paper as well as analysis of the assessment results for the participants and the college students.

The Relationship

Although there is a considerable amount of talk about transformative power of deliberation on identity, the debate in literature remains highly theoretical in underlying the benefits of deliberative model for EU Integration. So far, little empirical evidence is available on the actual impact of deliberation.Can deliberation enhance European identity?We specifically address this question by using deliberative polling quasi-experiment that involved random sample of 348 European citizens in 2 days deliberationon issuesof Europeanconcern.The comparison of citizens’ sense of belonging to both EU and nation states before and after deliberation, allowed us to explore the effects of deliberation on identity and further test it against the control group. The analyses show that when European citizens are enabled to deliberate on European issues beyond national borders their exclusive national identity decreases and they become more community minded. The observed transformation of identities is further analyzed in order to explore the relationship between European and national identity. The analyses indicate that even after deliberative treatment in which European identity has been activated the relationship between multiple identities remains compatible.

Following the incorporation of Japanese national universities in April 2004, the ownership of university inventions is now similar to that in the USA. However, in contrast to the USA, joint research projects involving close collaboration with company researchers who are frequently named as co-inventors are common. A large proportion of university discoveries are passed directly to established companies under joint research agreements. This perpetuates the pre-2004 situation. It also raises concerns that large companies are pre-empting publicly funded discoveries and decreasing opportunities for new company formation. An analysis of inventions reported to a major national university indicates that one-third are attributed to joint research, and, among those inventions for which patent applications are filed, the proportion is still higher. The corresponding proportions at most other major universities are probably even higher than at this university. Pre-emption by large companies is more common in engineering and materials/chemistry than in the life sciences. Further cross-national comparisons are needed to assess the impact on innovation and basic research of the Japanese and US models of university–industry cooperation, and to guide policy.

ABSTRACTThis study was intended to promote greater interaction between students and focusing your attention on the under-lying concepts studied in the course basic math, in exchangefor the material in sequence presented in textbooks and class notes. The study was conducted during the first half of 2012 (2012-10) and the 2012 summer period (2012 20), through a process of joint research quantitatively and qualitatively. The number of students treated in 2012 (10) was 249 and 10in the summer period. Of the 249 randomly took a course of 37 students which was a pretest at the start of the course without having received treatment. In the last week, was applied a posttestwhen the student had received the Peer Instruction Meth-od. Equal treatment is made with the summer course. The samples came from normal distributions, which found using the Shapiro-Wilk and Chi square statistical. Found significant differences between the averages of the posttest and pretest in both courses, for which was applied a test for paired as a study before and after samples student's t. For the Group of 37 students t = 5.87212 with p = 0.0000296539 < 0.05. The Group of 10 students t = 4.39678 with p = 0.00172844 < 0.05. The confidence level was of 95%. Surveys were conducted to measure the impact qualitatively, Likert type to all students, in which stood a high favorability (more than 80%) of the method in terms of more dynamic classes, greater motivation, good learning environment, greater participation, sufficient time to answer questions and improvement in learning.RESUMENEste estudio tuvo como propósito promover una mayor interacción entre los estudiantes y enfocar su atención en los conceptos subyacentes estudiados en la asignatura Matemáticas Básicas, a cambio de presentar el material en secuencia como en los libros de textos y las notas de clase. El estudio se realizó durante el primer semestre del 2012 (2012 10) y el periodo intersemestral del 2012 (2012 20), mediante un proceso de investigación mixta cuantitativa y cualitativamente. El número de estudiantes tratado en 2012 (10) fue de 249 y en el intersemestral de 10. De los 249 se tomó aleatoriamente un curso de 37 estudiantes a los que se les aplicó un pre test al inicio del curso sin haber recibido el tratamiento del método y en la última semana, se aplicó un post test. Igual tratamiento se hizo con el curso intersemestral. Las muestras provinieron de distribuciones normales, lo que se comprobó usando los estadísticos Chi Cuadrado y Shapiro-Wilk. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las medias de los post test y pre test, en ambos cursos, para lo cual se aplicó una prueba t de student para muestras pareadas, por ser un estudio antes y después. Para el grupo de 37 estudiantes t = 5.87212 con un p = 0.0000296539 < 0.05. En el grupo de 10 estudiantes t = 4.39678 con un p = 0.00172844 < 0.05. En ambos casos a un nivel de confiabilidad de 95%. Para medir el impacto cualitativamente, se realizaron encuestas tipo Likert a la totalidad de estu-diantes, en las que se destacaron una alta favorabilidad (más del 80%) del método en cuanto a clases más dinámicas, mayor motivación, buen ambiente de aprendizaje, mayor participación, tiempo suficiente para responder las preguntas y mejora-miento en el aprendizaje.

The Impact

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.
