In this work, the purpose is to establish the need to go beyond the nominal definition of the concept of education and justify the existence of distinctive traits of the real definition of the term ‘education’ in character and sense inherent in its meaning, which must be taken into account at all times and places, whenever we carry out pedagogical intervention. It is about forming criteria on meaning of ‘education’ and importance of Pedagogy in the construction of  education  fields.  Knowledge  of education makes it possible to build fields    of education over cultural areas, transforming information into knowledge  and  knowledge into education. And this requires executing pedagogical function with competence, establishing an educational relationship in which common activity is the working tool.

Abstract The engineers have to face very important problems in the design, the test, the survey and the maintenance of their structures. These problems did not yet get full answer even from the best people in the world. Usually in these problems (such as no satisfactory constitutive modeling of materials, no real control of the accuracy of the numerical simulations, no real definition of the initial state and/or the effective loading of the structure), there is no solution and the experts do not understand the problem in its whole. Moreover, the available data may be not statistically representative (i.e. are in limited number), fuzzy, qualitative and missing in part. We propose a practical solution the «Intelligent Optimal Design of Materials and Structures» where the actual best knowledges of the researchers/experts are intelligently mixed to the results of experiments or real returns. Several examples of applications are given in this serial set of papers to explain the real meaning and power of this approach.

This work insists on the importance of the study of theory-practice relationship to obtain specialized and specific knowledge of education: pedagogical knowledge. Education is a real field that people may know in different ways, forms, and types. Several types of knowledge and rationality are useful for making knowledge of education: philosophical theories, practical theories, applied research, substantive theories have let them build it. To a higher extent, knowledge of education has already made particular and specific concepts. This study establishes differences between knowledge of education and knowledge of disciplines which are used in educative process. Besides this, it emphasizes and upholds the Educational Knowledge Growth Model. The second half of this work continues to explain the different possibilities that each current of knowledge of education has, for solving the problems which arise in the intervention, regarding to theory-practice relationship. All this has been made by focusing the discussion about the theory- practice connection in three different pedagogical currents (marginal, subaltern, and autonomous). Signification as a principle of methodology is a problem derived from how the theory-practice relationship is understood in each current of knowledge of education to justify valid knowledge. By executing the external common activity, we improve and train the internal activities-capacities: without the activity it is impossible to educate and through the activity it becomes possible for the educatee to be an actor-agent and an increasingly better author-agent of his own projects and acts. We shall see how the pedagogical function generates intervention by means of internal and external common activities. And we can conclude that common activity and theory-practice relationship are focuses to solve education problems from pedagogical intervention, which always implies knowledge and action.

Low-carbon community (LCC) has recently attracted attention of many researchers and tackled the government attention from various countries, which ones may give different interpretations on the concept. Thus, awareness of low carbon behavior among residents should be accurately measured. But first, residents’ need to have a thorough understanding of what is the real definition of low-carbon awareness and behavior. This paper proposed an analysisof low-carbon awareness and low-carbon behavior concepts. We first divide the types of residents’ low-carbon main concepts into two categories; low carbon awareness and low carbon behavior through which the components to each category are identified. Then we provide a systematic comparison of allthree most frequently mentioned components in low-carbon awareness including low-carbon value, low-carbon attitude, low-carbon knowledge and finallyabout low-carbon behavior.The residents’ low-carbon awareness-behavior gap will then beingidentified and discussed.Finally, differences and similarities among the two residents’ concepts have been summarized.

Imagology is a branch of comparative literature which explores the image of one nation in the literature of another nation. One Thousand Nights and One Night is among the important books which can show the image of different nations and people such as Indians, Iranians and Arabs. Since the oldest version of the book is in Arabic, it is considered an Arabic literary work though it was translated from a Persian tale in the first place. On this basis the study of the image of Iranians in One Thousand Nights and One Night can be included under the definition of imagology. In this article, first we explain, analyze and study the image of Iranians in the book One Thousand Nights and One Night with respect to 1. anthropology (including entertainments, personification of animals, disapprobation of lies and betrayal of spouses), 2. religious and mythical beliefs (including the belief in daevas and jinnis, magic, fire-worshipping and similar plots), 3. politics (emphasizing the position of vizier and his family in government), 4. economics (emphasizing economic prosperity), then we will compare the collected information with the image of Iranians in credited works and in this way we will identify the similarities and differences of Iranians’ image in One Thousand Nights and One Night and the above-said literary works. Finally we come to this conclusion that the similarities belong to the real image of Iranians in the pre-Islamic days and that differences show the image of post-Islamic Iran which is added through Arabic translation.

The incomplete gamma type function ?*(?, x_) is defined as locally summable function on the real line for ?>0 by ?*(?,x_) = {?x0 |u|?-1 e-u du, x?0; 0, x > 0 = ?-x_0 |u|?-1 e-u du the integral divergining ? ? 0 and by using the recurrence relation ?*(? + 1,x_) = -??*(?,x_) - x?_ e-x the definition of ?*(?, x_) can be extended to the negative non-integer values of ?. Recently the authors [8] defined ?*(-m, x_) for m = 0, 1, 2,... . In this paper we define the derivatives of the incomplete gamma type function ?*(?, x_) as a distribution for all ? < 0.

The article discusses the problems associated with segmented into separate sentences the stream of spoken language. There are both: theoretical problems (what is utterance?, what are its boundaries?, what are the theoretical proposals for the segmentation of utterances?), and practical problems (where is the real border between the two utterances in spoken language?, what criteria of segmentation stream of spoken language can be used?). The language material – which is the basis for the research presented in this article – comes from twenty task-oriented dialogue sessions with the participation of forty speakers performing a specific task. As a result of the analysis, based on available positions and theoretical reflection I managed to develop a tool for syntactical segmentation of the stream of spoken language. This tool can be presented in the form of a new (innovative) concept of definition of the utterance.

The management of public real estate has been regulated in many legal acts, among which the Act of August 21, 1997 on real estate management plays the greatest role. The definitions contained in it are intended to explain the most important concepts related to the subject of this act. However, with regard to the definition of land real estate, we are dealing with a repetition of what was defined by the provisions of civil law. Such a situation raises justified interpretation doubts, which may have significant consequences in the application of this act. The existence of two definitions for the same object is undesirable and the Real Estate Management Act should be amended in this respect by including an appropriate reference to the provisions of civil law.
