This article deals with science fairs as spaces favorable to the evocation of metacognitive thinking fostered by the development of scientific research. It aims to highlight the skills unleashed in student researchers regarding participation in science fairs. It involved ten teachers and 133 students of Basic Education, from public and private networks, approached at a science fair held at a university in RS. Data were collected using a Likert questionnaire and recorded interviews, analyzed using descriptive statistics and the phenomenological method. It was evident that the evocation of metacognitive thinking was present throughout the process of scientific research, which culminated in the science fair. These revealed to be spaces of phenomena, because when constituted, they allow the student to evaluate himself and recognize his own learning, as well as, identify gaps to be improved. Thus, they result in the triggering of intellectual skills, contributing to the personal and social development of student researchers.

The study is focused on the legal regulation of state support for the creation of innovative medicinal products. Establishment of the measures of state support for scientific research for creating innovative medicinal products within legislative acts and by-laws should help to increase the competitiveness of the pharmaceutical industry in Ukraine. The government declares the provision of support for scientific research in the field of creating innovative medicinal products. The legislation establishes the conditions for registering an innovative project, provides the maintenance of the Register of scientific institutions that received the state support. A detailed characteristic of the existing means of the state support for scientific research in the pharmaceutical industry is provided. The state supports innovations by establishing tax incentives for research institutions and providing funding for some innovative projects. Support for innovations is carried out by the State Innovative Financial and Credit Institution, the National Research Fund of Ukraine and the Innovation Development Fund. Funding for the creation of innovative medicinal products can be realized through public and private partnership. The scholars have declared their propositions regarding the introduction of specific measures of the state support for innovations in the field of creating new medicinal products. It has been offered to amend the current legislation on the issues of state funding of scientific research in the sphere of developing new medicinal products. It is necessary to delineate the competence of various funds for promoting innovations in relation to supporting innovations in the field of pharmacia. It is important that the law should provide the procedure and conditions for supporting public and private partnership projects at the expenses of funds for promoting innovations.

Addressing gender-equality issues in education can foster enormous change in children’s lives. However, most textbooks in Albanian schools include gender stereotypes, which perpetuate gender inequality and unequal roles for men and women, both in public and private spheres. This research aims to identify and evaluate trends of gender stereotypes in textbooks, as well as the need for gender mainstreaming in basic education curriculum. The methodology is based on a desk review of textbooks from a gender perspective. The curriculum evaluation follows the context, input, process, and product (CIPP) model of evaluation, which mainly aims to assess the extent to which a certain education reform has generated positive change in schools.

This study looked into Saudi female English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ perception of their motivational practices in the actual classroom in public and private schools. Forty (n=40) EFL teachers filled out a questionnaire consisting of forty-four motivational strategies that were based on a five-point Likert scale ranging from "very important" to "not important." Descriptive statistics have been used to determine the most and the least important teaching strategies viewed by EFL teachers in private and public schools. To determine if there was any difference between private and public schools’ teachers on how they viewed each strategy in terms of importance, inferential statistics, t-test has been implemented. The study revealed that participants in both educational contexts indicate that “teachers’ proper behavior” is the most significant motivational strategy while “having an encouraging environment” in the EFL classroom was ranked the least important strategy. The findings show that there existed a striking similarity between the two sets of teachers in regard to their perceptions of the importance of motivational strategies. The study suggests that English-as-a-Second-Language book planners should keep textbook materials in harmony with motivational strategies practiced by EFL teachers.

Efforts to decentralise the pursuit of economic and social development have increased in recent years. The authors examine the rationale for establishing local development companies in areas of high unemployment and deprivation. The broad purpose is to establish a new style of organisation that combines attributes of the public and private sectors-to adapt and integrate economic and social services to meet local needs, to champion local interests in external arenas, and to act as enabling agents to promote local investment and development. These arguments are elaborated and illustrated with reference to one of Britain's most successful local development companies, Govan Initiative. The analysis reveals important strengths of the Initiative, including its action orientation, commitment to quality, and a local leadership role, but also certain weaknesses including its limited leverage over wider policies and resource flows. Local development companies need meaningful commitment from regional and national public organisations to fulfil their potential.

RESUMENLa adolescencia es una fase crítica del desarrollo por la vulnerabilidad respecto al consumo de sustancias tóxicas. La impulsividad y la búsqueda de sensaciones son rasgos de personalidad que aparecen asociados tradicionalmente con el consumo precoz de cannabis en adolescentes. Se analizan las diferencias en impulsividad (funcional y disfuncional) y en búsqueda de sensaciones (búsqueda de emociones y aventuras, búsqueda de experiencias, desinhibición y susceptibilidad al aburrimiento) por género, edad y consumo de cannabis. La muestra estuvo constituida por 634 adolescentes de colegios públicos y concertados de Burgos (España). Se aplicó el Inventario de Impulsividad, el Cuestionario de Búsqueda de Sensaciones y una pregunta sobre el consumo de cannabis. Las características de la muestra se analizaron con estadística descriptiva y las diferencias en impulsividad y búsqueda de sensaciones por género, edad, consumo de cannabis y su interacción con la prueba MANOVA. Los varones son más impulsivos funcionales y más buscadores de emociones, aventuras y experiencias que las mujeres. Con 14 y 15 años puntúan más alto en búsqueda de emociones y aventuras y menos en búsqueda de experiencias. El 22.5% de los adolescentes consumía cannabis. Estos puntúan más alto en búsqueda de emociones y aventuras, en búsqueda de experiencias, y en desinhibición que los no consumidores. Aparece un incremento de la impulsividad disfuncional y de la susceptibilidad al aburrimiento asociada al consumo en las mujeres. Por lo tanto, los programas preventivos deberían tener en cuenta el género de los adolescentes y algunos rasgos de personalidad para incrementar su efectividad.ABSTRACTAdolescence is a critical phase of development due to the vulnerability to the consumption of toxic substances. Impulsivity and sensation seeking are personality traits that traditionally appear associated with the early consumption of cannabis in adolescents. This study focuses on the analysis of the differences in impulsivity (functional and dysfunctional) and in sensation seeking (thrill and adventure-seeking, disinhibition, experience seeking, and boredom susceptibility) by gender, age and cannabis use. The sample consisted of 634 adolescents from public and private schools of Burgos (Spain). The Dickman’s Impulsivity Inventory, the Sensations Seeking Scale and a question about cannabis consumption were applied. The characteristics of the sample were analyzed with descriptive statistics and the differences in impulsivity and sensation seeking by gender, age, cannabis consumption and its interaction with the MANOVA test. In general, males are more functional impulsive and more thrills and adventures and experiences seekers than female. Participants aged 14 and 15 score higher in thrill and adventure-seeking, and less in experiences seeking. 22.5% of adolescents consumed cannabis. They scored higher in thrill and adventure-seeking, in experience seeking, and in disinhibition than non-consumers. There is an increase in dysfunctional impulsivity and boredom susceptibility associated with consumption in women. Therefore, preventive programs should take into account the gender and certain personality traits of adolescents to increase their effectiveness.
