Organization and content specificities as well as the basic principles of some teaching and educative strategies useful for Ukrainian schooling activity overseas (Sunday and Saturday Ukrainian schools, schools providing Ukrainian study courses, bilingual schools, etc.) that is functioning in the countries with Ukrainian ethnical component are analyzed in the article. On the base of sources and special literature studying, it was clarified that implementing aspects of pedagogical strategies in the domain of Ukrainian studies are out of scientific interest of the national and foreign researchers. Thus, the objective of this article is to outline the range of basic strategies which could become practical for coordination of the youth teaching and educating in Ukrainian schools abroad.Nowadays life requires of teachers to improve and understand their competent responsibility, as a teacher should be a person able to actively affect the progress of those, who are taught and educated. Educational paradigm of the XXI century must rely on the dominant when the talented individual’s activity as a teacher and creator is to move beyond the course and become the medium as well as transmitter of the world and national values. Pedagogical activity due to these terms will logically result in teacher’s awareness, directed to the balanced achievements of their students, the ability to use their skills formed, to understand the national originality, especially being surrounded by different ethnical and cultural conditions of another country.In any country, where Ukrainian studies are promoted, the implementation of teaching and educating strategies in educational affiliations has its own peculiarities. There is the necessity to widely use Ukrainian study components during teaching and educating process, because they are important for national self-identification formation of the students. This is the basic purpose of Ukrainian institutions’ activity abroad. For this reason, a teacher should accurately choose efficient as well as aim- appropriate teaching and educating strategies out of those, which are ‘programmed’ to realize the purpose mentioned above.Therefore, the basic opportunities of realization, teaching and educating requirements and goals due to multilingual and multicultural availability were outlined in the article. Specific examples of practical strategies implementing in national schools abroad were given. In particular, the attention was drawn to potential of using strategies integrated with individually oriented, programmed, differentiated teaching as well as scouts education strategies and some other.The peculiarities of curricula usage in pedagogical practice regarding to Ukrainian schooling abroad were also reviewed.

Contemporary sciences and societies are facing several problems when analyzing the relationship between the natural and social dimensions of the world as reflected in the field of education. A serious effort must be urgently made to identify and tackle environmental problems in order to understand the world in which we live, in ways that are beneficial to present and future life on Earth. In this context, it is fundamental to create a new social order in a way that thinking “out of the box” can emerge with other orders closer to the diversity of life that coexist on the planet. Consequently, the awareness of the complexity and multidimensionality of our world requires the building of new forms of reflexivity and the development of critical thinking, reversing the still predominant characteristics of modern societies such as compartmentalization of knowledge, unhealthy competition, profit-seeking motivations, the exploitation of nature, and excessive individualist and anthropocentric approaches. In this regard, educational institutions play a relevant role in shaping future human actions to be more ethically harmonic (both environmentally and socially) as they are sites of knowledge production and sharing. Hence, it is crucial to rethink the entire educational paradigm and learning system (objectives, curricula, pedagogical strategies, instruments, competencies, school management framework, and even school buildings), because schools often function as “islands,” isolating students from nature, the community, and the “real world,” not preparing them to be well-informed and conscious citizens nor for the challenges that lie ahead. Some theoretical and practical alternatives are needed since schools actually embody the paradoxes and dilemmas of the current societal malaise but have not yet been able to deal with them or to provide adequate effective responses.

The practice of theurgy in Late antiquity and Middle Ages can be understood correctly and comprehensively only if we take into account the basic principles of Neoplatonist philosophy and theology as the basis of medieval mysticism. In order to understand the basic purpose and goal of the theurgical ritual of making stone tombstones with appropriate symbols in medieval Bosnia (Stećak) it is necessary for us to know the basic postulates of Neoplatonist philosophy (creation of the world, emanation and reversion of the Good, the Virtue) and Neoplatonist theology within the religious discourse of the Middle Ages (allegorical reading of the Scripture, the mystical theology of affirmation and negation). Theurgy as an expression of ritual mysticism puts an emphasis on experience and "living religion“. Every aspect of the imbalance in the soul can be purified through a theurgical ritual where the appropriate "theurgical token" (sunthemata) balances the soul and prepares it for the ascent. Philosophy is purifying, religion illuminating, but theurgy is uplifting.

Salman Rushdie remains a major Indian writer in English. His birth coincides with the birth of a new modern nation on August 15, 1947. He has been justly labelled by the critics as a post-colonial writer who knows his trade well. His second novel Midnight’s Children was published in 1981 and it raised a storm in the hitherto middle class world of fiction writing both in English and in vernaculars. Rushdie for the first time burst into the world of fiction with subversive themes like impurity, illegitimacy, plurality and hybridity. He understands that a civilization called India may be profitably understood as a dream, a collage of many colours, a blending of cultures and nationalities, a pluralistic society and in no way unitary.

Breast Cancer is one of the most common types of malignancy among Indian woman currently. The current increase in the world wide prevalence of this disease suggests an urgent need of detailed analysis, diagnosis and treatment line through Ayurvedic principles. As cancer is least understood in technical terms of Ayurveda, Nidana Panchaka a basic tool to understand and diagnose a Vyadhi, is used to analyze it. Even though a direct diagnostic correlation of breast cancer is not available under the major Vyadhi classifications, it is possible to elicit and formulate Nidana Panchaka based on the references of Sthana Roga, Shopha, Granthi, Arbuda etc. The current article is an effort to formulate Nidana Panchaka for Breast Cancer, from the background of basic principles of Ayurveda, for a better analysis and diagnosis of the Vyadhi.

The Mediterranean diet (MD) concept as currently known describes the dietary patterns that were followed in specific regions of the area in the 1950s and 1960s. The broad recognition of its positive effects on the longevity of Mediterranean populations also led to the adoption of this diet in other regions of the world, and scientific interest focused on revealing its health effects. MD is not only linked with eating specific nutritional food products but also with social, religious, environmental, and cultural aspects, thus representing a healthy lifestyle in general. However, modern lifestyles adhere to less healthy diets, alienating people from their heritage. Therefore, considering the increasing evidence of the beneficial health effects of adherence to the MD and the ongoing transitions in consumers’ behavior, the present review focuses on updating the scientific knowledge regarding this diet and its relevance to agrobiodiversity. In addition, it also considers a sustainable approach for new marketing opportunities and consumer trends of the MD.

Historically, priority of the criminal justice system was always to establish the guilt of the accused and provide a punishment to the offender. Even after the advent of scientific criminology, focus was on all aspects of the offender, to the complete neglect of the victim. Victim was always treated as a witness, and victim justice has been a struggle throughout the world. Many scholars and criminal justice administrators recommended urgent measures to improve the conditions of victims, particularly after the historic Report of President’s Task Force in 1982 in the USA. Since then a victimological movement emerged which culminated in the creation of UN Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power, 1985. In this article, the emergence of victimological movement, its impact and the subsequent developments in India are discussed.

Abstract The current environmental crisis calls for thinking about the state of the world: the thermodynamic-ecological and symbolic-cultural conditions of organic and human life on the planet. In this regard, it stresses the need to realize the unawareness and life’s unsustainability that humanity has created. In this text I discuss and take a stand about some of the concepts and founding and constitutive research lines of political ecology. In this way I pretend to open dialogue by placing in context some of the principles, ideas, and founding viewpoints of political ecology in Latin America and contrasting them with those from the English-speaking school of thought. I intend not only to establish a political socio-geography, but to question the epistemic core of political ecology, and to stimulate a more cosmopolitan critical thinking in order to be able to face the hegemonic powers that lead the world into social and environmental decay

I feel it a great honour to have the privilege of addressing the members of the Royal Aeronautical Society on the subject of Airship Piloting, especially in view of the interest you have taken in furthering and generally assisting in the development of all types of aircraft.Although the airship has hitherto not occupied the thought and brains of Aeronautical Engineers to the same extent as the aeroplane and seaplane, I feel sure the confidence and support of the Society will lead to a more general and scientific interest being taken in lighter-than-air craft, which is bound to result in more rapid progress in the near future.I hope the discussion to follow will provide the foundation for solving some of the problems that will have to be faced, when piloting the airships over routes to various parts of the world, where totally different atmospheric conditions are likely to be encountered.
