The Given

Only recently has the semiotic approach become more acceptable or common in mathematics education research and analysis and has gradually disconcerted the Platonic foundation of mathematical objects. In fact it has become increasingly evident that the meanings of concepts develop in the social relationships. The objective is to present the reasons for the use of the semiotic approach in mathematical education. We are arguing, in fact, that the crystallization of mathematical concepts limits creativity and distances school learning from the day to day practices. In theoretical research, questions are addressed such as What is the x in this equation?, evidencing a part of the work of Frege and Benacerraf, with more appreciation to the Peirce’s Semiotic. Illustrative and important examples of such a perspective are presented. For example, the complementarity between text and diagram offers opportunities of critical reflections about the expected results of education in mathematics. Therefore, to think semiotically is to recognize that all knowledge is dynamic, despite being constructed through signs, implying responsibilities, either in choosing the strategy defined for each problem situation, or in identifying the meanings according to the given references and the interactions with the world.

The article discusses methods for solving geometric problems with the active use of methods such as analysis and synthesis, analogy and generalization, based on theoretical thinking on the principle of ascent from simple to complex in order to develop students' ability to creative activity. The authors have developed systems of problems, focused on the formation of their ability to "make" independent discoveries both in the process of solving a problem and at the stage of researching the result of the solution. The developed system of problems is aimed at finding a way to solve a more complex problem, after a similar method has been used in relation to another simpler or particular problem. The participants in the experiment are future masters of pedagogical education (profile "Mathematical Education") at Togliatti State University. The article shows that the most effective methods of preparing future masters of mathematics education for creative professional activity can be such methods of scientific knowledge as analogy and generalization. It was revealed that in the process of learning to solve geometric problems included in the developed system, students demonstrate higher indicators of the level of formation of creative activity, as a result of the development of the ability of the future master of pedagogical education (profile "Mathematical Education") to analogy and its application in specific situations, his ability to use the established properties, skills and abilities formed, techniques and methods of action in relation to another object in new conditions and for new purposes, the use of mathematical concepts and theorems in more and more diverse specific problems.

Research Questions

One of the profound questions that troubled many philosophers is– “Who am I?” where do I come from? ‘Why am I, where I am? Or “How I see myself?” and maybe more technically -What is my subjectivity? How my subjectivity is formed and transformed? My attempt, in this paper, is to look at “I”, and see how it got shaped. To understand self, this paper tries to show, how subjectivity got transformed or persisted over five generations with changing social structure and institutions. In other words, I am trying to explore self-identity. I have analyzed changing subjectivity patterns of family, and its connection with globalization. Moreover, the research tries to show the role of the Meta field in search of subjectivity based on the following research questions; how my ancestor’s subjectivity changed with social fields? Which power forced them to change their citizenship? And how my identity is shaped within the metafield? The methodology of my study is qualitative. Faced to face interview is taken with the oldest member of family and relatives. The finding of my research is the subjectivity of Namita Poudel (Me) is shaped by the meta field, my position, and practices in the social field.

This scientific article considers all aspects, modern importance and growing role of the social media marketing and advertisement in the general spectrum of marketing activity for developed and developing brands. Investigational actuality and basic directions of application of all spectrum of instruments of social networks for the sake of advancement of product and the processes of forming perception of trade mark and forming the image of brand are analyzed by the authors of the article. The given scientific article highlights the most popular trends and patterns of goods and trademarks’ promotion in the world in the context of updating the concept of advertising on social networks. The bigger and more engaged your target audience is on social media networks (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc), the easier it will be for you to achieve every other marketing or business goal. The importance of social media marketing’s assistance in attracting new potential clients and customers to the company is also considered in the given article. Besides that, the authors of the article list and analyse wide spectrum of basic trends considering promotion and advertising in 2019 among the well-known brands. In addition to this all, the list of the most successful publicity advertisement campaigns of this year and brands which were promoted with their assistance are listed and analysed. In the context of the study, it shows up that advertising campaigns play a significant role not only in reaching sales but also in generating overall customer loyalty to the brand. This makes it possible to argue that the most reputable brands should have an important social goal that will be positively accepted by society and target audience in addition to the high quality and usability of the products or services. Social networking is the easiest way to see the social response to your promotion and lead to an instant purchase. Therefore, relying on the experience of the already well-known multinational and transnational corporations, social media marketing should take a significant share of the overall promotion of the company. The connection between the brand and potential customer should be built on the emotions that accompany consumers when viewing ads and using products. This scientific article eventually declares conclusions and prognoses in relation to subsequent development of these instruments and platforms for advancement and branding of small and large enterprises in future. It states that emotional connection between person and brand is much more effective for the company than an expensive ad.

This article presents the partial conclusion of the research project devoted to marketing activity of Polish Catholic opinion-forming weeklies on the social media platforms. The main aim of this article is to present the results of the study on the use of Twitter as a marketing tool by Polish nationwide Catholic opinion-forming weeklies. The basic research questions concerned the extent of utilizing the platform by the magazines’ editors to create and distribute the content of their media product, maintain and develop brand communication and self-promotion. The case studies and the content analysis of the accounts of the three magazines—Gość Niedzielny, Tygodnik Katolicki Niedziela and Przewodnik Katolicki—show that there are three different ways in how the editors of the magazines understand the role of the Twitter account of the title they represent—as an ‘active communicator’, ‘active communicator and community supporter’ or ‘community supporter’. The conclusions show that the studied media fairly efficiently use the visual and distributional potential of the platform as well as some of its features, at the same time missing the chance to build a brand-loyal community. They also limit the role of Twitter to that of a supplement for the main communication channel, which is the printed weekly and its website.

The One

This paper is built on the following research questions: (i) What are the direct/indirect relationships between Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG11) and sustainability protocols? (ii) Could the sustainability protocols constitute a solution towards the achievement of SDG11? We underline that, on the one hand, the SDGs are guidelines to support the development of sustainable policies and thus address all elements that may affect them, and on the other hand, sustainability protocols are assessment tools to promote sustainability-conscious design while remaining focused on the built environment. In the Italian regulatory context, the paper highlights how this difference in terms of focus and scale means that they only overlap and mutually reinforce each other with regard to certain aspects, more related to energy and air pollution issues and less to the social aspects of sustainability. Even if there is not always a direct relationship between the evaluation criteria of the protocols and the indicators of SDG11, it is possible to conclude that the sustainability protocols can facilitate the achievement of the SDG11 targets, acting as a key for the implementation of sustainable cities and helping in structuring the process leading to sustainability in a broader framework.
