The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem related to the development of evaluative and controlling actions of senior preschoolers in speech-creating activities. Theoretical analysis of scholars' views on the definitions of the phenomena "evaluation", "evaluative and controlling actions", "speech-creating activity" have been presented; the author's definition of the key concepts under research topic has been given. The specificity of gradual development of evaluative and controlling actions of senior preschoolers in speech-creating activities has been revealed; the role of the adult in the development of the first evaluating and controlling actions, which should be mastered by children of senior preschool age, has been specified. Emphasis is placed on the importance of developing students’ skills to control and evaluate actions, which will contribute to their successful preparation for mastering the literary norm of the native language, correction and elimination of language errors and flaws. In the presented research, it is noted that in speech activity evaluating and controlling actions are a necessary condition and means of mastering elementary linguistic knowledge, developing speech and communication skills. Some methods and techniques of teaching / learning that contribute to the development of evaluative and controlling actions of senior preschoolers in speech-creating have been substantiated. Some examples of assignments facilitating the development of the skills to perform evaluative and controlling actions in speech activity have been given. The obtained results of the experimental study confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed methods and techniques aimed at the development of evaluative and controlling actions of senior preschoolers in speech-creating.

Abstract The Youth Report 2014 recognizes the possibility to take positive action towards the others as an element that contributes to let young people achieve a sense of happiness. Despite this, we can observe in schools the presence of individualistic and competitive educational models affirming the predominance of fixed cognitive standards. That can bring to a situation of marginalization of those who are hegemonically located outside of a pre-established definition of norm. Considering these assumptions, the authors have developed an inclusive and prosocial teaching model, based on the Cooperative Learning approach, aimed to encourage prosocial skills among students. The research, that used qualiquantitative data, has involved a sample of 42 students and 12 teachers of the Middle School. The comparison between pre and post test highlights a higher increase in helping dimension and in the subsample of males students, joint to general improvements within teaching-learning processes and relationships.

This study compares separation of religion and state (SRAS) as it is conceived in theory with its realization in practice in 40 stable Christian democracies between 1990 and 2008 based on data from the Religion and State Round 2 dataset. There is no agreement in the literature on how SRAS ought to be conceived. Many scholars argue that SRAS is a necessary condition for liberal democracies. The present study examines four models of SRAS found in the literature, and a non-SRAS model that addresses the appropriate role of religion in democracies: secularism-laicism, absolute SRAS, neutral political concern, exclusion of ideals, and acceptable support for religion. The study analyzes three factors: (a) whether the state supports one or some religions more than others; (b) the extent of religious legislation; and (c) restrictions on the religious practices and institutions of religious minorities. The analysis shows that depending on the definition of SRAS used, between zero and eight of the 40 countries practice SRAS. Based on this finding, I conclude that either SRAS is not a necessary condition for liberal democracy or many states commonly considered to be liberal democracies are not.

The article gives a brief description of some peculiarities of the work with popular scientific and technical literature in a non-linguistic university. Given types of exercises and materials demonstrate the variety of forms and methods of the work with foreign texts in specialty in technical universities. The role of choosing methods and techniques of the work when forming skills of productive reading and their improvement at all stages of learning a foreign language is considered. Reading is considered to be as one of the most important types of communicative and cognitive activity. Reading promotes mastering all aspects of foreign language and speech activity. Some of the issues are analysed both in theoretical and practical terms.

This paper introduces the question of the definition of reference units for speech, correlating with the necessary condition that they must be an adequate and useful means for analyzing large spoken corpora. According to Language into Act Theory (L-AcT), the utterance is the proper reference unit and the counterpart of the speech act (Austin 1962), being demarcated by prosody within the flow of speech. The pragmatic foundations of the utterance and its information structure will be described and are closely connected to the role of prosody in their identification. The pragmatic and information analysis of English and Romance examples are presented, which are taken from representative spoken corpora (C-ORAL-ROM, C-ORAL-BRAZIL, S. Barbara Corpus). Regarding the information structure, the Comment unit is considered the core of the Information Pattern and since its role is the expression of the illocution it automatically conveys the new information. The Comment may be accompanied and supported by other optional information units which are functionally differentiated. The Information Pattern is systematically demarcated by a Prosodic Pattern within an isomorphic correlation.

This article shows the use of good practices of the CMMI quality model as part of the work methodology applied in the classroom and with the project-based teaching-learning model. The first step was the definition of the work methodology, as already mentioned adopting good practices of the CMMI quality model. It continues with the definition and integration of the collegiate body who play the role of expert leaders in their work areas and define the characteristics that form the integrating project. Finally, work teams were formed for the implementation of the methodology in a real scenario, supported by technological tools to facilitate its management. The contribution was to propose a work methodology that offers an improvement in the teaching-learning process experience, increases the level of knowledge and that favors the labor inclusion of graduates.

Abstract. As the criticism of the definition of the phenotype (i.e., clinical diagnosis) represents the major focus of the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) initiative, it is somewhat surprising that discussions have not yet focused more on specific conceptual and procedural considerations of the suggested RDoC constructs, sub-constructs, and associated paradigms. We argue that we need more precise thinking as well as a conceptual and methodological discussion of RDoC domains and constructs, their interrelationships as well as their experimental operationalization and nomenclature. The present work is intended to start such a debate using fear conditioning as an example. Thereby, we aim to provide thought-provoking impulses on the role of fear conditioning in the age of RDoC as well as conceptual and methodological considerations and suggestions to guide RDoC-based fear conditioning research in the future.

The term ?business model' has recently attracted increased attention in the context of financial reporting and was formally introduced into the IFRS literature when IFRS 9 Financial Instruments was published in November 2009. However, IFRS 9 did not fully define the term ‘business model'. Furthermore, the literature on business models is quite diverse. It has been conducted in largely isolated fashion; therefore, no generally accepted definition of ?business model' has emerged. Therefore, a better understanding of the notion itself should be developed before further investigating its potential role within financial reporting. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of the perceived key themes and to identify other bases for grouping/organizing the literature based on business models. The contributions this paper makes to the literature are twofold: first, it complements previous review papers on business models; second, it contains a clear position on the distinction between the notions of the business model and strategy, which many authors identify as a key element in better explaining and communicating the notion of the business model. In this author's opinion, the term ‘strategy' is a dynamic and forward-looking notion, a sort of directional roadmap for future courses of action, whereas, ‘business model' is a more static notion, reflecting the conceptualisation of the company's underlying core business logic. The conclusion contains the author's thoughts on the role of the business model in financial reporting.
