The Subject

In the current time, one of the important tasks of modern schools is to prepare a highly educated student who can think creatively and independently in any situation. In the realization of this task, literature, as a school discipline, which forms the inner world and valuable orientations of students, plays a large role. The study of literature can have crucial importance in the education of the independent personality possessing esthetical taste. Scholars consider the subject of literature as a critical study of literary texts. They clarify that one of the main aims of the subject is the critical analysis of how language is used in different types of texts to identify meaning and find out text elements. With the help of reading various literary texts, students in secondary education of modern schools can receive skills of critical analysis through connecting the meaning of these texts with their lives and the world. Besides, teaching literature in secondary education can provide the ability to imagine the inner and outer worlds of any substance, to solve and investigate important, present, and future problems individually. A considerable number of scholars and studies have attempted to describe the importance of this discipline.

Diplomacy: A Very Short Introduction introduces the subject of diplomatic history, the critical study of the management of relations between nation-states. Based on significant historical case studies—the diplomacy of the American Revolution, the diplomatic origins of the Great War and its aftermath Versailles, the personal summitry behind the night Stalin and Churchill divided Europe, George W. Bush and the coming of the Iraq War, and diplomacy in the age of globalization—there are concrete examples of diplomacy in action while locating the universal role of negotiations. Through these examples we can see what the key element of success is. The lessons learned provide a road map to navigating the challenges of 21st-century diplomacy.

<p>Rechargeable aqueous aluminium batteries are the subject of growing interest, but the charge storage mechanisms at manganese oxide-based cathodes remain poorly understood with as many mechanisms as studies. Here, we use an original <i>in situ</i> spectroelectrochemical methodology to unambiguously demonstrate that the reversible proton-coupled MnO<sub>2</sub>-to-Mn<sup>2+</sup> conversion is the main charge storage mechanism occurring at MnO<sub>2</sub> cathodes over a range of slightly acidic Al<sup>3+</sup>-based aqueous electrolytes. In Zn/MnO<sub>2</sub> assemblies, this mechanism is associated with high gravimetric capacity and discharge potentials, up to 560 mAh·g<sup>-1</sup> and 1.76 V respectively, attractive efficiencies (<i>CE</i> > 98.5 % and <i>EE</i> > 80%) and excellent cyclability (> 750 cycles at 10 A·g<sup>-1</sup>). Finally, we conducted a critical analysis of the data previously published on MnO<sub>x</sub> cathodes in Al<sup>3+</sup>-based aqueous electrolytes to conclude on a universal charge storage mechanism, <i>i.e.</i>, the reversible electrodissolution/electrodeposition of MnO<sub>2</sub>.<i></i></p>

Medicine in terms of Jędrzej Śniadecki Jędrzej Śniadecki (1768–1838) remains one of most eminent scholars of his times. Remembered as a founder of modern chemistry in Poland, one of early pioneers in anthropology and social sciences, and author of the two volume book Theory of organic being (Teoria jestestw organicznych), in which the modern metabolic concept of life processes can be considered as grounded; he was also a highly educated and gifted physician. This paper aims to show the importance of medicine in Śniadecki’s theory of life, in its physiological and pathological manifestations in regard to the clinical model and the medical practice which he followed. It deals with the concept of illness as described in Śniadecki’s writings, focusing on the role of irritation and organic reaction as the major components of his proposed pathological model. The dynamic and variable conditions of diseases are explained by means of metabolic changes, which was a truly pioneering concept, already described in Śniadecki’s earlier theoretical works on the subject of life and nature. The paper discusses the problem of influence in terms of the leading medical doctrines at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, namely those of John Brown (1735–1788) and François Broussais (1772–1838), on Śniadecki as a researcher and practitioner. For practical (clinical) medicine his reserve towards auscultation and percussion, then a slowly gaining field in clinical subjects, is clearly present in Śniadecki’s writings and teaching. His passive and, as far as we can tell, sceptical attitude is explained by the lack of convincing evidence, based on empirical and experimental data, which would enable to connect the physical signs of a diagnosis fulfilled by means of stethoscope to that of the percussion process. It must be remembered that the books by Adam Raciborski (1809–1871) and Joseph Škoda (1805–1881) were both published in the 1830s, where modern diagnosing methods were established using a suitable scientific background to explain their importance. This was too late to influence the clinical work of Śniadecki. The same scepticism, with an obvious demand for strict and experimentally derived data, is probably responsible for the conservative therapy present in Śniadecki’s teaching.

The Relationship

This article presents a vision of the relationship that can be established between education and art in our country, starting from the analysis of the objectives of teacher education and the role it plays in the educational process, presents a critical analysis of the intentionality of Basic education and teacher training. It is an intentional study of the role of the teacher in a country where the role of the educating State takes on the functions of designing, orienting, organizing and directing, through the school the destinies of the new generations, forming them in an educational process according to the interests and needs of. Objective: to identify the influence that the State exerts through education, in active teachers, in the training of teachers and in students of the different educational levels of our country. Methodology: qualitative documentary research, where different moments of teacher training are analyzed in the light of theory, educational laws and others related to the subject. Contribution: originate discussion points around the educational process and the State's aims in educational matters, from the training of teachers and their performance in the classroom as an agent not of transformation, but as a reproductive agent of the wishes of the State.

The Way

In this article I put forward the concept of subversive infantilisation to designate a phenomenon in contemporary Bosnian literature, which by using a certain kind of childish outlook on the world undermines paternalistic and balkanist Western discourse on Bosnia and Herzegovina. By analysing primarily the portrayal of the role of mass media in a few literary texts, principally books by Nenad Veličkovié and Miljenko Jergovié, I highlight the way in which these texts “re-rig” and by means of irony and exaggeration illuminate the problematic logic inherent in the subject position from which one represents the other. Textual characteristics of subversive infantilisation are contextualised further and seen as a discursive continuation of experiences of the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The remarkable influence of gender studies in recent years on the Greek educational system has inevitably led to the integration of a multi-focal thematic section entitled “Gender in Literature” in the new Lyceum curriculum. This section truly captures the interest of adolescents, as it stimulates the approach of literary texts and promotes constructive discussions that often lead to further enjoyment of reading. On this base a collaboration between University of Athens and Anavryta Model Lyceum was carried out in Literature class in both institutions. This article aims to present the main stages of this cooperation on the subject of “Literary Representations of Women’s roles from traditional to modern society”, as the institutional framework for teaching literature clearly supports the historicity of texts. Besides explaining the rationale behind this educational action, we are proposing a selection of literary texts that were used in class and presenting the objectives and didactic methods practiced, the type of tasks assigned to the pupils as well as the skills developed by them. The paper insists on certain texts that are particularly valuable for this approach and offers examples of taking advantage of contextual elements. Finally, we are showing how this collaboration became a real example of extroversion for both institutions and we are attempting a comprehensive evaluation of this project and its impact within the students’ and teachers’ community.

This article examines the previously unstudied aspects of the concept of true love in &ldquo;Tales and Trials of Love&rdquo; by Jeanne Flore based on the material of second novel in the compilation. The subject of this research is the ancient images, which reflect the central topics of the book &ndash; role of sensuality and dangers caused by it. A detailed analysis is conducted on the opposition &ldquo;living &ndash; lifeless&rdquo;, which is structured through the motifs of sight, word, kiss and image of a human-statue. Within the new concept of true love, which dictates to reciprocate the feelings of those seeking love, the danger hides not sensuality, but in resisting it. The novella in question stands out in the compilation, as it is the only &ldquo;tale&rdquo; which focus falls on sensorics to convey a warning. Special attention is given to the images of eyes and mouth, which mark the boundary between external and internal, and play the key role in the motif of poisoning. When does a fatal act takes place? When &ldquo;lifeless" is behind the living (which can be achieved only by witchcraft), and the other way around. Using the ancient images, Jeanne Flore demonstrates how a sight and words of the heroes can be poisonous and upon contact with the Other can translate characteristics of the hero&rsquo;s inner world (such as indifference, static character, lifelessness) to others, thereby "poisoning" them to death. This article is first to analyze the opposition of &ldquo;living &ndash; lifeless&rdquo; on the material of references to ancient mythology in &ldquo;Love and Trials of Love&rdquo;, which defines the scientific novelty.

I artikeln diskuteras en lärarstudie om vad som utmärker samhällskunskaps-ämnet på svenskt mellanstadium. Det sker mot bakgrund av en skandinavisk ämnesdidaktisk diskussion om ämnets tydlighet med fokus riktad mot svenska förhållanden. Här har ämnet beskrivits som otydligt i läroplans- och läroboks-forskning medan det framträder som mer tydligt i lärarforskning. Denna lärarforskning har dock oftast studerat grundskolans högstadium och gymnasium. Studier på mellanstadiet saknas och min studie visar, till skillnad från dessa studier, att ämnet är otydligt när lärarna talar om det. Det är ett stadie som också skiljer sig från högstadiets och gymnasiets ämnescentrerade ämneslärarkultur genom att det är mer elevcentrerat och klasslärarbundet med högre grad av ämnesintegration. Artikeln fokuserar därför samhällskunskapsämnets relationer till övriga samhällsorienterande (SO) ämnen – geografi, historia och religionskunskap – och vad det innebär för ämnets otydlighet. Genom intervjuer med lärare om deras SO-undervisning och samhällskunskapsämnets del i den, illustrerat med hjälp av begreppen ”ämnesmarkörer”, ”ämnesväxlingar” och ”ämnesöverlappningar”, framträder ämnet som underordnat och undanskymt i relation till särskilt geografi och historia. De har en dominerande position inom gruppen och bidrar till att samhällskunskapsämnet förblir otydligt. I artikelns konklusion och diskussion argumenteras för betydelsen av en rekonstruktion av relationerna inom gruppen, inte endast för att göra samhällskunskapsämnet tydligare, utan för att också övriga ämnen skall ge ett starkare bidrag till elevers lärande om samhället och dess frågor både som enskilda ämnen och tillsammans.Nyckelord: samhällskunskap, samhällsorienterande ämnen, ämnesmarkörer, ämnesväxlingar, ämnesöverlappningarAbstractThis article reports on a practice-related study of the characteristic features of the civics subject in Swedish upper primary education. The discussion takes place against the background of a Scandinavian subject-specific pedagogical debate on the lack of clarity in the civics subject in relation to the other social studies subjects. In Sweden, curriculum and textbook research has pointed out that civics seems to have a vague and unspecified role in primary education, while it seems to have a more prominent role in practice-related research. However, the latter research has often focused on lower and upper secondary education, and so far there have been no studies of the role of civics in primary education. In contrast to the studies of civics in secondary education, my study shows that civics in primary education emerges as very obscure in teachers’ talk about it. At this stage of education, civics is not as subject-centred as it is in the subject-teaching culture of secondary education, but rather a pupil-centred subject with a high degree of integration with other subjects. The article has a focus on civics in relation to the other social studies subjects (SO), namely geography, history and religious studies, and on how the interrelations affect the perception of civics. The study is based on interviews with teachers on their SO teaching and the role of civics with the help of the concepts of ”subject marker”, ”subject-switching”, and ”subject-overlapping”. The result of the analysis is that civics emerges as a subordinated and inconspicuous subject in relation to geography and history, in particular. These two subjects have a dominant position in the subject cluster and contribute to relegating civics to a vague and unclear backseat. In conclusion, the article argues for the need of reconstructing the interrelations in the subject cluster, not only for the sake of clarifying the role and content of civics, but also to ensure that the other subjects can also contribute more to pupils’ learning about community and citizenship issues, as separate subjects and together.Keywords: civics, social studies subjects, subjects, subject marker, subject-switching, subject-overlapping
