The article presents an analysis of the status of the Ukrainian language studies at the University of Bucharest from a diachronic and synchronic perspective. The Romanian-Ukrainian relations (political, administrative or economic), were founded and developed on the basis and in the context of cultural relations. For more than three decades, in Romania, international scientific events have been organized by the academic institutions in the partnership with governmental and local ones in order to maintain the Romanian-Ukrainian relations. Education has always been a basic component of people’s culture, regardless of the social world order or the level of education: primary school, secondary school, high school or university, the latter being the topic of our paper. Apart from the University of Bucharest, which has a rich tradition, in Romania, the undergraduate studies of the Ukrainian language and literature together with modern language and literature study (the Romanian language and literature) are currently provided by the “Stefan cel Mare” University of Suceava, within the Department of the Romanian Language and Literature of the Faculty of Letters and Communication Sciences, as well as by the “Babeș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca, within the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures of the Faculty of Letters. Ukrainian studies at the university level in Romania have emerged since the very foundation of the Romanian philology in the 19th century, more precisely since forming the Slavic studies as a scientific discipline. Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, one of the greatest personalities in the Romanian culture, (linguist, folklorist and philologist) played a big role in this sense, studying the way Romanian history had been reflected in the Ukrainian folklore. The Ukrainian folklore and the works of Taras Shevchenko were studied by the translator Grigore N. Lazu and the literary critic Constantin Dobrogeanu-Gherea. P. P. Panaitescu, Șt. Ciobanu, Zamfir Arbore and other researchers also wrote about the Romanian-Ukrainian literary relations. In the institutional framework, i.e. in primary schools, secondary schools, high schools and universities, the Ukrainian language and literature had been taught since 1948, after the Education Reform. The Department of Ukrainian Language and Literature of the University of Bucharest was established within the Department of Slavic Languages of the Faculty of Philology in 1952. Since founding of the Department by Professor Constantin Drapaca, such specialists as Nicolae Pavliuc, Magdalena Laszlo-Kuțiuk, Stelian Gruia, Dan Horia Mazilu, Ioan Rebușapcă, Micola Corsiuc, Roman Petrașuc, Maria Hoșciuc and Aliona Bivolaru made their contribution into promoting and increasing the prestige of the Ukrainian studies in Romania, as well as to strengthening relations between Romania and Ukraine.

From 1992 we began to explore supernormal education of mathematics in gifted and talented children selected from the first and second grades of several primary schools and it seems a great success. We are the first to carry out such activity in the Beijing area and have compiled and published four textbooks of teaching materials which have been adopted by many schools. It is intended in this paper to provide a briefing on the status of offering such education. The problems encountered in the supernormal education and the teaching experiences accumulated are discussed on the following issues: Start-up with audio-visual geometry Stress on combination of shape and number Launching our mathematics activities Stimulation of ability of imagination Application of the discovery method Induction-find the University regularity Mathematics-search out model Modernization on mathematics education We firmly believe that all the above issues are extremely important to the supernormal education of mathematics in gifted and talented children from 6–8 years.

Law No. 12 of 2012 regarding Higher Education constitute that Higher Education Institution is required to have a Organizing Organization(s) of Higher Education. Universitas Indonesia (UI) as a State University which was regulated in Government Regulation No. 68 of 2013 regarding the Statute of the University of Indonesia (Statute of UI) has a Board of Trustees of the University of Indonesia (MWA UI) which is one of the Organizing Organizations of Higher Education in UI. One element in the MWA UI is the student representative element (MWA UI UM) which is elected once a year by all UI students in a democratic way, and is appointed and discharged based on recommendations from the Academic Senate of the University of Indonesia which is then determined through a Ministerial Decision (Ministry of education). But then the Intra-Campus Student Organizations in UI regulate the impeachment mechanism of MWA UI UM beside the election. Does the impeachment of the MWA UI UM by the Intra-Campus Student Organization of UI have a legal impact on the status of the MWA UI UM membership at the MWA UI? Then how is the mechanism of impeachment / "dishonorably discharged" for members of the MWA UI UM if the proposal for impeachment comes from Student Organizations in UI? These two questions will be discussed in this article. The method used in this paper is literature study about student organizations of UI, and related laws and regulations.

This study explored the underlying processes associated with the policy of increasing qualified physical education teachers (QPETs) in Singapore primary schools. Data were collected from the National Archives of Singapore, Newslink, NewpaperSG and documents. An ‘archaeological analysis’ by Foucault (1972) was used to trace the discursive conditions which enabled and facilitated the policy. Three distinct elements were borrowed from ‘The Archaeology of Knowledge and the Discourse on Language’, namely: the status – as reflected in the positions of individuals influencing the PE policies and initiatives; the institutional sites – as in the locations of the decisions being exercised, and; the situation – identified by the key events leading to the decision to increase QPETs in primary schools. The conclusions based on the analysis of these elements offer a clearer understanding of the various contributions to the adoption of the policy and serve to provide an insightful lens to policymakers who might seek to redesign the future shape of Physical Education.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has caused a transformation of virtually all aspects of the world order today. Due to the introduction of the world quarantine, a considerable share of professional communications has been transformed into a format of distance interaction. As a result, the specific weight of traditional components of the investment attractiveness of a region is steadily going down, because modern business can be built without the need for territorial unity. It should be stated that now the criteria according to which investors decide if they are ready to invest in a region are dynamically transforming. The significance of the following characteristics is increasingly growing: the sustainable development of a region, qualities of the social environment, and consistency of the social infrastructure. Thus, the approaches to evaluating the region’s investment attractiveness must be transformed. Moreover, the investment process at the federal level involves the determination of target areas of regional development. Despite the universal significance of innovative development, the region can develop much more dynamically when a complex external environment is formed that complements its development model. Interregional interaction, as well as an integrated approach to innovative development, taking into account not only the momentary effect, but also the qualitative long-term transformation of the region, will significantly increase the return on investment. At the same time, the currently existing methods for assessing the investment attractiveness of the region are usually heuristic in nature and are not universal. The heuristic nature of the existing methods does not allow to completely abstract from the subjectivity of the researcher. Moreover, the existing methods do not take into account the cyclical properties of the innovative development of the region, which lead to the formation of a long-term effect from the transformation of the regional environment. This study is aimed at forming a comprehensive methodology that can be used to evaluate the investment attractiveness of a certain region and conclude about the lines of business that should be developed in it as well as to find ways to increase the region’s investment attractiveness. According to the results of the study, a comprehensive methodology was formed to evaluate the region’s investment attractiveness. It consists of three key indicators, namely, the level of the region’s investment attractiveness, the projected level of the region’s investment attractiveness, and the development vector of the region’s investment attractiveness. This methodology is based on a set of indicators that consider the status of the economic and social environment of the region, as well as the status of the innovative and ecological environment. The methodology can be used to make multi-dimensional conclusions both about the growth areas responsible for increasing the region’s innovative attractiveness and the lines of business that should be developed in the region.

In the entire history of mankind, a large number of acts of violence and aggression have been committed. Over the past 50 years alone, there have been more than 400 interstate and intrastate conflicts that have claimed the lives of millions of people. Increasingly, there has been an urgent need to protect the violated rights of individuals. The idea of creating a single international body for the protection of human rights has been discussed more than once. For the first time, the idea of creating an international judicial body was expressed in 1948 by the UN General Assembly after the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials at the end of World War II, which issue has been discussed at the United Nations ever since. However, efforts to create such a mechanism have not been successful, despite the need for a permanent criminal court to prosecute and punish those who commit the most serious crimes. In 1998, this idea was realized. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has sought ways to establish a world order with a fair resolution of conflicts. It has long been recognized, the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal noted, that international law imposes duties and obligations on specific individuals as well as on the state. [] Crimes against international law are committed by people, not by abstract categories, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be respected. To date, the ICC is successfully coping with the task of punishing those persons or groups of persons who have committed the international crimes listed in the Rome Statute. It would seem that the balance between good and evil has been found. The crime has been committed and the criminal punished. But it is important to note that the procedural issues have not been resolved as well as that of punishing criminals. An urgent matter today is the status of defenders of the accused in international criminal proceedings. This question requires not only a doctrinal, but also a practical understanding.
