The chapter presents a series of “calls” offered by globalization to education and to educational system, which are not compatible with our time: the integration of Enlightenment Age into Globalization; the conflict with the pedagogical sciences (the transition from the knowledge-pedagogy to competency pedagogy); the attempt, through changing the old form declare a fresh content; the aspiration, through linear thinking to reveal the essence of education in multi-dimensional space; through the low level of functional literacy implement the highest levels of education; the current level of cybernetics to substitute of using computers as a technical training aids; while remaining in the framework of the modernism to prepare the next generation for life in the post-modernism. In this chapter the “calls” are analysed as the paradoxes in education, through the prism of scientists' opinion from various fields of science, public figures and the teaching community (copyright pilot study). This synthetic approach has allowed to outline a new conceptual framework.

Abstract Background Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) training is used in popular and health sports to improve muscular performance. Little is known about the possible psychological effects of WB-EMS training. The aim of the study is therefore to investigate the possible psychological effects of WB-EMS training on subjective well-being, relaxation, mood, and perceived stress. Materials and Methods Twenty-five healthy subjects underwent conventional WB-EMS training and Sham training (without the application of electrical stimulation) as part of a randomized, controlled pilot study in a crossover design. Subjective well-being and subjective relaxation were assessed using visual analog scales, the current state of mood was assessed with Multidimensional Mood State Questionnaires (MDBF), and the current level of stress was assessed with Recovery–Stress Questionnaires/Erholungs-Belastungs-Fragebögen (RESTQEBF) before and after training. Results WB-EMS training has a statistically significant positive effect on subjective well-being and subjective relaxation, as well as on the awake subscale of the MDBF. No significant main effect of sequence and no interaction effects were found. Also, compared to a Sham training session, a single WB-EMS training session had no significant effect on mood, nervousness, or the current level of stress. Conclusion Besides physiological effects, WB-EMS might also have a strong psychological impact. WB-EMS could be beneficial for people who, due to their limitations, have problems training on a regular basis and with adequate training intensity.

Adolescent speakers of Dutch who have a language disorder cannot as yet be identified by generally acknowledged tests. However, in the future this will become necessary to apply for special education or financial support in the regular educational system. Based on a survey of the literature concerning normal and disordered language development in children up age 10, this article presents a pilot study in which the language skills of 10 specific language-impaired students are compared with those of 10 normally developing peers. Tasks are used both within academic and communicative contexts. Between the groups significant differences appear on two aspects only: the number of grammatical errors made while telling a story, and the length of the sentences used in writing a story. These two aspects therefore appear to be useful in the process of identifying language-disordered adolescents.

Effects of Performing Certain Set Tasks in the Lucid-Dream State

A group of 70 persons (16 males, 54 females) who experience lucid dreams (those in which the dreamer becomes aware of dreaming) were given set tasks to perform in the lucid state and asked to report what happened. A pilot study had indicated certain consistencies of effect between subjects. Evidence was obtained, based on the reports of 16 persons, to suggest that it is often difficult to ‘switch on an electric light’ in the lucid dream scenery. A varying ceiling-level of imagery ‘brightness’ is hypothesized. It is suggested that any attempt to violate the current level results in rationalized avoidance of the planned situation. Difficulties were also experienced by the 9 subjects who tried to ‘switch on an electrical appliance’ (other than a light). An apparent lack of co-ordination between the imagery modalities was noted. It is suggested that the modalities may be relatively independent in the dream and that priority of effect can shift between the imagery forms. A ‘substitution effect’ was observed in the 3 cases for whom auditory imagery was lacking at a crucial point. The persons reported singing or making a noise automatically as if to compensate. Four of the 6 persons instructed to ‘cover or “close” your eyes in a lucid dream’ stated that a scene-shift resulted. Another subject reported that the dream re-ran. A sixth person experienced sleep-paralysis. Such consistencies of effect in dreams have not been taken into account by the various schools of ‘dream interpretation’ and so could have led to erroneous ‘analyses.’

In the state program "Spiritual modernization", among the global problems, the study of advanced models in the field of science and education is especially noted. In this regard, in the upbringing of the intellectual generation, it is important to study the works of prominent public figures and scientists-teachers, among whom a special place is given to the outstanding scientist linguist, doctor of philological sciences, professor Sarsen Amanzholov. His contribution to the development of higher schools, educational system and educational process in Kazakhstan is undeniable. He is a significant person who played an important role in the formation of literature and culture, language and mentality of the Kazakh people, with his participation important steps were taken in the development of an educated and qualified generation. The article analyzes the scientific collection of the scientist "Foundations of the theory of the Kazakh language" and gives an explanation of its relevance in the modern educational system.

Crimes committed by adolescents, including those provoked by the information war against Russia, testify to the helplessness of our educational system. Russian philosophical and pedagogical thought, including V. V. Rozanov`s works, with the integrity of theoretical and practical approaches, helps to analyze and find the reasons for the unsatisfactory state of school education. The purpose of this article is to identify in Vasily Rozanov`s philosophical heritage those ideas that, despite their value and relevance, remain beyond attention of modern reformers of school. In search of the source of the established perverse practice of school education, the authors, after the philosopher, come to a European tradition rooted under influence of ideas of J. J. Rousseau, J. Locke and other thinkers of the Enlightenment, uncritically perceived and borrowed by russian system of state education in the XIX century. However, since then, despite repeated breakdown of the state structure, these principles of education have remained the same. The acuteness of the question lies in the fact that education built on these principles not only does not give the soul of a rising personality food for its development, but also produces the opposite effect, corrupts it. The authors see the way out of this vicious circle in ideas of V. Rozanov, who preaches principles of education, based on absolute values rooted in history and religious and cultural traditions of the people.

This paper is intended to suggest how an educational system produced a literary community and discursive practice that represented itself as essentially distinct from the realm of political power. My subject is the foundations in the English Public Schools of the modern British literary community and literary value as we have known it from Romanticism through modernism – value measured by the self-consciousness, introspection, individuality, and putative autonomy that are challenged if not already defeated by the forces of post-modernism. But before examining what happened between Thomas Hughes's Tom Brown's Schooldays of 1857 and Cyril Connolly's A Georgian Boyhood of 1938, I shall provide a brief historical summary for readers unfamiliar with the English public schools.

Reclaiming the Enlightenment: Toward a Politics of Radical Engagement, Stephen Eric Bronner, New York: Columbia University Press, 2004, pp. xiii, 181.I am very sympathetic to the project that Stephen Eric Bronner undertakes in this book. As someone inspired by the progressive potential of the Enlightenment, I find myself constantly on the defensive in a world deeply suspicious of the dead white men of eighteenth-century Europe. So I welcome a vigorous and uncompromising defence of those men and the ideals and values they stood for. For those of us who already see ourselves as working to further that tradition, this book is an inspiring call to keep up the good work. But for those who have been hesitant in their enthusiasm for the Enlightenment, this book will be more like a red flag waved in their face, confirming many of their suspicions of Western rationalism. Theorists of recognition, identity, post-colonialism, post-modernism, republicanism, communitarianism, post-secularism and multiple-modernities, are just some of the people who will not find this book very congenial. Ultimately, Bronner's uncompromising defence of the Enlightenment is less successful than it might have been.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of property investors of the risks and returns associated with property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle. The study contributes to the understanding of alternative property investment vehicles and how it is perceived by investors. Design/methodology/approach The study focusses on investor perceptions in using property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle and follows a survey-based design. A questionnaire was finalised after the completion of a pilot study and was distributed to existing property crowdfunding investors via email. Inferential statistical measures were used. Findings The results show, to an extent, similarities to general equity-based crowdfunding studies. However, the uniqueness of property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle may explain the insignificance of the results when related to other studies. Overall, the property crowdfunding investor seems to present cautious behaviour with a conservative perception of property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle. Practical implications It is recommended that property crowdfunding platforms present prospective investors with more formal regulation of the property crowdfunding industry. Such a regulatory framework may lessen the current level of uncertainty presented by investors. Originality/value The study enhances the understanding of the role of property crowdfunding as an alternative investment vehicle in Australia. More importantly, it went some way towards enhancing the understanding of how investors perceive and behave vis-à-vis property crowdfunding as an investment vehicle.

This paper presents the long-term research of the phenomenon of pedagogical upbringing as a didactic problem, as well as the ways and means of using the upbringing potential of the educational process in the formation of the basic structures of the modern student's personality - his worldview, culture, and experience. The authors define upbringing as the process of formation of basic structures of personality, and pedagogical upbringing – as the formally organized and curated pedagogical process aimed at formation of the basic structures of personality. This process is carried out through education and other activities appropriate to the modern education system. The defining characteristics of the pedagogical upbringing are its systematic nature and purposefulness.Based on the methodology of humanistic education, the authors propose the original solutions to the personality-forming tasks in the system of civic development of students through the work on cultural, ideological component of educational material at the lesson. The authors show their significant practical pedagogical results in collaboration with foreign and Russian scientists in the educational system in Tula region. They are: the strengthening of children and adult communities in the classroom and outside, development of the democratic bases of the educational process, overcoming the negative consequences of authoritarian upbringing, improvement of professional pedagogical culture of educators. Theoretical studies and experiments allowed influencing the development of innovative processes in educational institutions, improving the system of education management in the Tula region, and expanding the interdepartment cooperation in education. The paper describes the course of scientific research, its stages and results in detail. The used techniques are correlated with the goals and objectives of the study. Scientific novelty of this research is that it identifies the learning opportunities as a factor of the formation of the school upbringing system. It defines the principles and ways of integrating the subsystems of the school in a unified educational system, offers a theoretical didactic model of civil education of school students, and the formation of the culture of schools based on the principles of democratization and humanization of all processes. The practical significance consists in the fact that the research results can be applied to activities of different types of schools and to become the basis for their development and improvement. They also may aid the strengthening of the teaching community through enhancing the professional culture of teachers and leaders of the education system.
