Статья представляет собой аналитический обзор последних трех выпусков «Журнала ландшафтной архитектуры» (Journal of Lanscape Architecture), каждый из которых был посвящен определенной теме. Первый выпуск 2019 г. освещает тему так называемого компактного города, второй посвящен проблеме взаимодействия специалистов разного профиля в области ландшафтной архитектуры и садово-паркового дизайна, наконец, статьи третьего номера журнала рассматривают феномен современной ландшафтной архитектуры в свете актуальной социополитической проблематики. Автор останавливается на наиболее интересных, с его точки зрения, примерах интерпретации данных тем в статьях, освещающих опыт садовых мастеров и ландшафтных архитекторов, работающих в разных концах европейского континента, а также Америки и азиатского региона. Так, проблема компактного города нашла отражение в статье Р. Хаутамэки о Хельсинкском городском плане 2016 г. и исследовании Б. Маркес, Ж. Мак Интош, У. Хэттона и Д. Шэнона «Бикультурные ландшафты и экологическая реставрация в компактном городе: случай Зеландии как устойчивой экосистемы». Тему взаимодействия специалистов разных отраслей в области ландшафтного дизайна поднимают Б. Миллигэен в статье «Создание ландшафта: геодезия, дроны и медиаэкология» и Ж.-Ф. де Више в исследовании, посвященном террилям Шарлеруа. Роль социополитического аспекта в развитии ландшафтной архитектуры отмечена в статьях К. Даннеелс «Наступление природы: социобиологическая теория и практика Луи ван дер Свельмена» и Н. Гулсруд, посвятившего свое исследование открывшемуся в 2009 г. нью-йоркскому парку Хай Лайн. This analytical review concerns the last three issues of the “Journal of Landscape Architecture”. Each of them was dedicated to a specific topic. The 1st issue for 2019 covers the topic of the so-called compact city, the 2nd concerns the problem of interaction of different specialists in the field of landscape architecture and garden design, and finally, the articles of the 3rd issue consider the phenomenon of modern landscape architecture in the light of the socio-political issues of today. The author focuses on the most interesting, from his point of view, examples of interpretation of these topics in articles covering the experience of garden masters and landscape architects working in different parts of the European continent, as well as America and the Asian region. Thus, the problem of a “compact city” is reflected in the article by R. Hautameki on the Helsinki city plan 2016 and the study by B. Marquez, J. Mac Intosh, W. Hatton and D. Shannon “Bicultural landscapes and ecological restoration in a compact city: the case of Zealand as a sustainable ecosystem”. The topic of interaction between specialists from different industries in the field of landscape design is raised by B. Milligaen in the article “Creating a landscape: geodesy, drones and media ecology” and J.-F. de Viche in a study on the Charleroi terrilles. The role of the sociopolitical aspect in the development of landscape architecture is noted in the articles by K. Daneels “The Onset of nature: the sociobiological theory and practice of Louis van der Svelmen” and N. Gulsrud, who devoted his research to the New York High Line Park, which was opened in 2009.

Human Need

Collaboration is a highly desirable and, increasingly, often a mandated element in many modes of research, creative and business practice—and a factor on which successful and innovative outcomes, as well as funding, often depend. While there is a growing literature on collaboration (and especially teamwork) in business settings, there is little material to consult regarding how individuals or organisations in the spheres of media and culture collaborate when they work together. In many cases, moreover, participants in collaborative projects have a limited understanding of collaboration (in theory and practice) beyond that of a general concept, tossed about with nods of approval but rarely unpacked. In other fields of DIY content production, from open source software development to the large-scale distributed collaboration on projects such as the Wikipedia, collaboration often happens more intuitively, but nonetheless produces results that can usually stand up to serious professional scrutiny. So how, and why, do we collaborate? This issue of M/C Journal features general and theoretical studies of collaboration as a working practice together with case study articles from the point of view of practitioners and researchers who have worked together, and survived to tell the tale of that practice. These articles also offer readers wider insights into the apparent human need for interaction, collaboration, and what World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee has called ‘intercreativity’ together with case-specific best-practice examples of successful collaborations across communities, disciplines, media forms, space and time. The contributors to this issue also confirm what we, as coeditors proposing this theme, already knew and believed—that collaboration is not always an uncomplicated or straightforward working process. In offering new and innovative research about collaborative practice, a number of the contributors to this issue do not shy away from examining some of the difficulties arising in collaborative work such as authorship credit (‘Who goes first on publications?’) and copyright issues. Nor are all collaborative ventures entirely, or even partly, successful, and a number of contributors offer examinations of the most pressing problems that can arise in collaborative work and how they have (or have not) dealt with these. Some articles also examine how collaborations may not necessarily require the task to be shared, and even how all contributing members of a team do not always want to take an equal part in the endeavour—either of input and/or responsibility for the output. Other collaborations are framed with an attempt to override institutionally or culturally constructed hierarchies, and have egalitarianism as part of their purpose as well as working method. A number of our contributors have addressed whether the outputs produced by collaborative practice are different, increased, enhanced or even superior than those produced when someone works on their own. Writing about collaborative authorship, theorist Wayne Koestenbaum has suggested that collaborative works are intrinsically different than [sic] books written by one author alone … the decision to collaborate determines the work’s contours, and the way it is read. Books with two authors are specimens of relation, and show writing to be a quality of motion and exchange, not a fixed thing. (2) In many different ways, many of the authors in this issue attempt to unravel these complexities of relation, motion and exchange. In this, we hope to have removed the notion that the success, or not, of any collaboration is dependent only on the personalities involved and/or luck rather than on coherent, generalisable and reproducible, working methods and ideas. Indeed, we hope that these articles not only profile work on how the various stakeholders (individuals, enthusiasts, artists, university/research institutions, industry and non-profit organisations) successfully find each other and build working partnerships but, when taken together, begin to build new definitions of collaboration and collaborative practice. Working on this issue was also, of course, a collaborative endeavour. Apart from obviously collaborating in our shared editorial task, we also had the privilege of working closely with a very talented stream of authors (note what a bumper issue this is), who included a number of pairs, and even teams, of coauthors. A large number of referees gave generously of their time and energy and the articles in this issue reflect their expertise and insight. Then there is, of course, the input of the copyediting team who made this issue of M/C Journal possible—Meggan Vann and Donna Paichl, and their supervisor Peta Mitchell. QUT supports M/C’s production, the National Library of Australia archives all issues, and both our institutions have recognised the editorial effort that went into the production of this issue. All of which would, of course, remain silent type in cyberspace without you—the readers—to consume and consider that work and, hopefully, offer feedback to us.

This paper investigates the boundaries of mass media discourse focusing on various means of coherence in newspaper articles highlighting the same topic in 3 languages – English, German and Spanish. Around 80 articles devoted to the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia were selected from 3 newspapers to comprise the material for the study: New York Times (The U.S.), Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany) and El Pais (Spain). It was discovered that coherence manifestations differed 1) chronologically (preparatory process, games, results and consequences); 2) by relevance (with some articles referring merely to sport issues while others focusing on financial, cultural or political issues of holding the World Cup); 3) by functions of hyperlinks (links to additional material, open discussion, advertisement, social networks, printing or saving an article). The analysis revealed the variety of coherence in mass media discourse. Focusing on one key event, all analysed issues used a number of formats: text, photo, video, discussion, hyperlinks etc. The most frequent way to attract reader’s attention was a topical change when the article started with a most well-known topic but continued with another one. The differences in coverage between issues referred to the point of view on the event. It has become clear from the study, that modern mass media discourse tends to link all sources and functions available in the electronic form. The globality of media leads to an infinite coherence.

Basic biological laws that govern the life of the bee family, as well as considering it as a whole organism, are necessary instruments for implementing effective methods of beekeeping and increasing the productivity of the industry. The study of the exterior features of bees must be carried out from different points of view for the concept of the complex activity of the bee family and in order to recommend methods for improving the preparation of bees for winter. Study of the mass of working bees and their rectum began to be used as the main indicator that affects the nature of the preparation of bee individuals for wintering. From the point of view of both theory and practice, filling the rectum with excrement in the autumn period will be an important indicator of an effective wintering in terms of preserving and further developing bee colonies. Effect of two kinds of liquid top feeding acidified with apple cider vinegar on the rectum congestion with excrement in working bees in the autumn, and the safety of bee colonies after winter was discussed in the article. The results of the indicators of the mass of working bees and intestinal mass when feeding two types of top dressing in the form of sugar syrup and honey solution with the addition of apple cider vinegar for the purpose of acidification are presented. The dynamics of rectal congestion in this group of bees is less compared to the group of bees receiving food in the form of sugar syrup. After wintering, during the spring audit, it was found that the safety of bees fed the autumn top dressing in the form of a honey solution with the addition of apple cider vinegar was 95% compared to bee families that received sugar syrup, the safety was 80.5%, with the detection of liquid excrement on the walls of hives and honeycombs

AbstractIntroduction:Psychological assessment of Roma children belongs to the most controversial topics in recent theory and practice of school psychology in Slovakia. The paper discusses the problem from the three main aspects.Discussion:The first of them raises into question the usability of “general intelligence” construct in the assessment practice. It is shown that from the psychometric point of view it is improper to represent couple of qualitatively different attributes by sole number. Moreover, intelligence as a construct refers to general mental achievement of child here and now but it says nothing about the causes and reasons of the achievement.The second part is devoted to the problem of test adaptation. The author draws attention to the fact that Roma people are the minority with own characteristics, including language, style of life, customs and values. Due to this, it is necessary to use in the psychological assessment solely well adapted psychological tests with special norms for Roma children.The third topic discusses the position of psychologists in decision-making with regard to the type of education of a particular child.Limitations:Because education is realized in a broad social context (policy, social attitudes and expectations, material and financial conditions, teaching expertise, etc.), many of these factors are out of psychologists´ direct control and competencies. Due to this, the primary task in the psychological assessment of Roma pupils should not be based on the question about the advisability of their special education. Instead of this, the psychologist should be concerned more on the proper description and explanation of children’s psychological functioning and, following this, on formulating individual and particular recommendations how and what cognitive, emotional or motivational elements it is necessary to develop at school.

ResumenEl trabajo analiza el curso Ética Profesional en la carrera de Derecho en la Universidad Católica de Temuco. Examina la forma como se abordaba la ética profesional antes de la creación del curso, y lo que ha ocurrido con él a través de sucesivos cambios curriculares y la introducción del modelo por competencias. El curso aporta al sello identitario, mediante un enfoque multidisciplinario. El curso ha vinculado teoría y práctica, desde que comenzó a implementarse, hasta llegar actualmente a comprenderlo en la lógica de competencias. Esta mirada implica formar a los estudiantes para resolver dilemas éticos, lo que se hace mediante la metodología del ver–juzgar–actuar. Esta metodología de discernimiento es propia de la tradicióncatólica, pero se usa en este contexto sin un cariz religioso. El método en cuestión permite ir educando la autonomía a fn de tomar decisiones. Se analiza la importancia de contextualizar la enseñanza ética y la forma como esto se ha hecho en el curso. Finalmente se aborda la relevancia de formar la conciencia ética de los estudiantes.Palabras clave: Experiencia de enseñanza – Ética profesional –Método de discernimient.ResumoO artigo analisa o curso de Ética Profssional na Escola de Direito na Universidade Católica de Temuco.

It reviews the way in which ethics was addressed before the course was created, and what has happened with it through the subsequent curricular changes and the implementation of a competency based model. The course contributes to the seal of identity through a multidisciplinary approach. Theory and practice have been progressively bound together since the course was introduced, to reach a point, nowadays, in which the course is understood within the logic of competencies. This point of view implies educating students for solving ethical dilemmas, which is done through the see–judge–act methodology. This discernment methodology belongs to the Roman Catholic tradition, but is used in this context without its religious complexion. This method allows educating autonomy in order to make decisions. It also analyses the importance of contextualizing ethics education and the way in which this has been done in the course. Finally, it addresses the relevance ofcreating an ethical consciousness of the students.Keywords: Teaching experience – Professional Ethics – Discernment method
