Summary The article has a theoretical-empirical character. Its main goal was to identify reasons of young potential employees’ interest in working at a university. To prepare the theoretical part, the method of cognitive-critical analysis of world literature on marketing, management and HRM was applied. The results of this analysis show an existing cognitive gap and a research gap in the scope of considerations about reasons of interest of the mentioned group of employees in a university as the employer. Striving for reducing both gaps some empirical researches were conducted using the questionnaire method to gather the primary data which were analyzed statistically using the method of exploratory factor analysis, Kruskal-Wallis test, etc. The obtained results made it possible to check three research hypotheses. The possibility to perform a satisfying job was not the key reason for the respondents’ interest in working at a university. The internal structure of reasons for the respondents’ interest in a university as the employer was different for the following two groups: 1/people who think that university’s employees are perceived in Poland better than those who work in other organizations; 2/people who think that university’s employees are perceived in Poland as well as those who work in other organizations. The way of perceiving employees of an university was a feature statistically significantly differentiating the reasons of the respondents’ interest in starting work at the university only in the case of high social prestige and high wages.

The author's dissertation, published by the Moscow Psychiatric Clinic, is devoted to the clinical development of the issue of the independence of acute paranoia as a separate form of mental illness. Dr. Gannushkin is trying to solve this question partly on the basis of his own observations, partly through a critical analysis of cases that were observed by other authors, both Russian and foreign.

The journey towards social ordering and the need to make life much better than it used to be is one of the principal motivations for political philosophy. Hence, there are as much political theories to this effect as there are political philosophers and scientists. Whereas the aim of the present research is to consider what kind of political theory can assist in social ordering, it does this, taking cognizance of the pedagogical postulates of the political scholar, Plato. In other words, this research reconsiders the educational underpinning of Plato’s political philosophy for use in the quest toward the agenda of attaining nationhood in Nigeria. This comes as a consequence of the urgency to correct the ugly trend(s) that have greeted the educational system of the country as well as the failure of the social sciences to provide the much sought succor. This approach is sacrosanct because of the undue but accentuated emphases that have been given to the social sciences as the domain from which development and nationhood can spring. Incidentally, the journey toward nationhood for Nigeria, continues to be one of the most disturbing dilemmas that continues to haunt the country. Via the method of critical analysis, this essay argues that Plato’s political philosophy has some educational ideals that present implications for contemporaneous nature or character of contemporary Nigeria. By giving emphasis on his reflections on the principle of specialization, this study is able to argue that the spirited application of this ideal for contemporary Nigeria via pedagogy will go a long way to birth the much sought nationhood. Political philosophy needs pedagogy to be able to realize its ideals. Unless this initiative is underscored, this essay submits, the quest for nationhood will continue to lament in the labyrinth of folly and backwardness.

Recent analyses of environmental services products and practices in healthcare have covered the concepts of hygienically clean, mechanisms of cleaning, and comparison of reusable and disposable textile microfiber products. In 11 referred papers, it was discovered that three had sufficient factual errors to influence the citations found in the broader literature. This study evaluating these problematic papers is an obligation of the scientific community for accuracy. In light of newer data on the efficacy of important textiles for microfiber cleaning, these previous studies were reexamined to see if methodological corrections are needed. Closer investigation of the authors’ data was used to ascertain the validity of their initial conclusions. These current reevaluations reverse conclusions in these journal articles. It appears factors such as multi-variant statistical comparisons, combining variables, and use of extremely high inoculum for cleaning led to the wrong conclusions in these three papers. The revised results show that for hospital surface cleaning with reusable textile microfiber products, no detectable levels were found for two of the most challenging organisms for hospital-acquired infections, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium difficile. Commercial laundry was substantially better than hospital laundry and reusable microfiber products improved with use.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the current stage of investment cooperation between the BRICS countries in terms of current investment projects and legislation regulating investment interaction. The methods of the research are as follows: investigating the issue of investment cooperation between different member states and the legal framework for such cooperation; finding sources such as books, magazines, journals, legal acts, and websites; collecting all the necessary data; critical analysis of the data on the issue of the research; developing an outline. The investment interaction under study is presented at three different levels: outward foreign direct investments from the BRICS countries; foreign direct investments into the BRICS countries; and investment cooperation between the BRICS countries. All levels of investment cooperation are regulated both at the national and international levels.
