The article is devoted to the particularities of latinization policy of the written Komi Permyaks’ language in the 1930s. As some national and foreign researchers think, the processes of Latinization were most challenging for finno-ugric peoples of the USSR; for this reason, the reforms of the written Komi Permyaks’ language reflect complex processes of policy both within the language sphere and wider – in the national policy of the USSR. Based on available sources, many of which have been introduced into scientific use for the first time, the article analyzes the development of native written language of Komi Permyaks in the 1920-30s, the policy of the Komi district committee on implementation of Latin graphs, and estimates the factors that influenced the failure to adopt the Latin alphabet of the Komi-permyak language in paperwork and education system. The author concludes that, for wider popularity of the Latin alphabet for the Komi-permyak language, there were not sufficient conditions (financial, administrative ones, etc.), so the majority of officials and intelligentsia used Russian to communicate. However, further policy of its implementation could have inspired the usage of this alphabet since later a new Komi alphabet based on Cyrillic symbols was actually adopted.

National Language Policy

A brief historical review of language policies in Australia up to the publication of the Senate Standing Committee's Report on a National Language Policy in 1984 is given. The recommendations of the Report are discussed in the light of the ethno-cultural or core value significance that community languages have for many minority ethnic groups in Australia. Recent research findings on such languages are presented and their implications for a national language policy considered. It is postulated that the linguistic pluralism generated by the presence of community languages needs to be viewed in the context of a framework of values that includes English as the shared language for all Australians. From this perspective, it is argued that the stress that the Senate Committee Report places upon the centrality of English in Australia should be balanced by greater recognition of the linguistic rights of minorities and their implications for bilingual education. It is pointed out that both these aspects of language policy have been given prominence in recent statements and guidelines released by the Ministers of Education in Victoria and South Australia. The paper concludes by pointing to the growing interest in the teaching of languages other than English to all children in Australian schools.

The article analyzes the linguistic aspects of the “Khrushchev” school reform of 1958, as well as the reasons and goals of language transformations, which are little studied in the modern historiography. Compared to the interwar period, the situation has changed. In the 1920s, the policy of korenization was carried out in the conditions of the “capitalist environment” and demonstrated an “exemplary solution” to the national question. In 1958, Poland was no longer one of the main enemies, the need for a “showcase” had disappeared, the agents of Stalin’s national policy had left the political scene. The language component of the school reform made it easier for representatives of national republics to get education in central universities and to advance their career. But the language of the so-called titular nation was not completely excluded from the education system, the communication space, and the humanities. It can be argued that there were opponents of the reform (especially among the humanitarian intelligentsia) and supporters of the reform, who took advantage of the new opportunities. The course proposed by the school reform of 1958 was a kind of method of Sovietization and integration while preserving / recognizing the national diversity of the country’s population.

The main purpose of this paper is to examine perspectives of successful and effective leadership as well as successful and effective schools in an effort to uncover the governance interventions which produce one or the other characterization. This examination is undertaken through the utilization of two guiding frameworks: the Pashiardis-Brauckmann Holistic Leadership Framework and the Bredeson and Johansson framework for principals’ functions. Additionally, views on success and effectiveness from around the world are utilized. Following this, in this theoretically focused paper we make the argument that successful schools institutionalize the right processes in order to achieve and sustain the desired results and thus become effective. Then, in an effort to bring context into the equation, we discuss what the context is for each education system and student and if schools can make up for the deficiencies of a student’s individual context. We end our discussion by stressing the fact that researchers, through their work, can inspire teachers and principals with their (often) simple descriptions of complex school improvement processes. These descriptions have a profound effect on the applied pedagogical work in schools, which is sometimes more influential than national policy decisions and educational reforms.

A set of sufficient conditions for the well posedness and the convergence of the finite element approximation of three-dimensional time-harmonic electromagnetic boundary value problems involving non-conducting rotating objects with stationary boundaries or bianisotropic media is provided for the first time to the best of authors’ knowledge. It is shown that it is not difficult to check the validity of these conditions and that they hold true for broad classes of practically important problems which involve rotating or bianisotropic materials. All details of the applications of the theory are provided for electromagnetic problems involving rotating axisymmetric objects.

A class of BAM neural networks with variable coefficients and neutral delays are investigated. By employing fixed-point theorem, the exponential dichotomy, and differential inequality techniques, we obtain some sufficient conditions to insure the existence and globally exponential stability of almost periodic solution. This is the first time to investigate the almost periodic solution of the BAM neutral neural network and the results of this paper are new, and they extend previously known results.

Let Tr be the first time at which a random walk Sn escapes from the strip [-r,r], and let |STr|-r be the overshoot of the boundary of the strip. We investigate the order of magnitude of the overshoot, as r → ∞, by providing necessary and sufficient conditions for the ‘stability’ of |STr|, by which we mean that |STr|/r converges to 1, either in probability (weakly) or almost surely (strongly), as r → ∞. These also turn out to be equivalent to requiring only the boundedness of |STr|/r, rather than its convergence to 1, either in the weak or strong sense, as r → ∞. The almost sure characterisation turns out to be extremely simple to state and to apply: we have |STr|/r → 1 a.s. if and only if EX2 < ∞ and EX = 0 or 0 < |EX| ≤ E|X| < ∞. Proving this requires establishing the equivalence of the stability of STr with certain dominance properties of the maximum partial sum Sn* = max{|Sj|: 1 ≤ j ≤ n} over its maximal increment.

Significance The election for the House of Representatives, the lower house of parliament, will be the second since the constitution was revised in 2011. This specified that the leader of the party winning the largest number of seats should be given the first opportunity to form a government. The revision led to the moderate Islamist party, the Justice and Development Party (PJD), leading the government for the first time after its victory in the November 2011 poll. Impacts The election will focus attention on contentious reforms to pensions, subsidies and the education system. The months ahead will be dominated by speculation about party alliances and the likely shape of a future coalition government. The palace seems ready to accept a second term for Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane, but is also keen to see PAM within government.

Policy Texts

Though theorised as important objects of inquiry, language ideologies – beliefs about the roles of language in society – are difficult to identify from texts because of their covert nature. Language ideologies of institutions are thought to have particular power with respect to subsequent policy development at micro- and macro levels. This study applies an inductive, corpus-based approach to identify language ideologies in a corpus of language policy texts using lexical items as variables. A corpus of more than one-million words of educational language policy texts from the 2010 Arizona Department of Education website was explored using collocate and factor analysis. The resulting solution accounted for 47.48 percent of the variance investigated. Five language ideology factors were identified and interpreted using quantitative and qualitative techniques: ‘written language as measurably communicative’, ‘language acquisition as systematically metalinguistic and monolingual’, ‘academic language as standard and informational’, ‘language acquisition as a process of decoding meaning’ and ‘nativeness of language skills as marking group variation’. The findings (a) present likely ideological stances of the Department of Education in a state where educational language policy development has been robust in recent years, and (b) validate the somewhat novel methodological approach used in this study.
