Technology-Mediated Education Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic Reflected in Students and Teachers’ Stories Via the Application of Storytelling Techniques

The article focuses on stories, revealing personal experiences related to the technology-mediated education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and storytelling as a tool in qualitative research. Stories and storytelling may play an important part in qualitative research through presenting a unique, subjective view, which may contribute to the universal perspective. The transition to online teaching has been related to the pandemic, that constitutes a traumatic experience, generating further difficult experiences of an individual nature, which need to be told and shared. That is why, the research through storytelling in the context of the transition to online reality, caused by the pandemic seems to be adequate. Stories as natural phenomena to the human psyche and everyday existence may provide an interesting insight into online teaching, which might have been lost in the limitations of other research tools.

Can Transnational Cooperation Support Municipalities to Address Challenges of Youth Migration?

In the cooperation project ‘YOUMIG,’ funded by the INTERREG Danube transnational programme, challenges of youth migration were discussed in a transnational consortium consisting of project partners from different countries from Central and Eastern Europe experiencing difficulties such as a declining population and outmigration, as well as immigration of young people, which necessitated the provision of an integration infrastructure. Project outcomes included strategies as well as pilot activities performed by local-level authorities. The following article will consider outcomes as well as experiences from stakeholders involved in the project and investigate individual and organizational learning processes throughout the project. It will elaborate on the question of the extent to which transnational cooperation can potentially facilitate sustainable institutional changes and transformation. The results confirm the potential of transnational cooperation towards triggering learning and institutional change. Nevertheless, they underline that in the context of the project, the learning processes that could be achieved were predominantly of an individual nature and that the tangible outcomes could not lead to sustainable institutional changes.

Marriage

This chapter examines the establishment of formal marriage, including same-sex marriage, and the legal issues involved in maintaining that relationship. While in the past the marital relationship was wholly defined by the state, now certain aspects of the relationship can be negotiated by the parties, which may result in a more egalitarian relationship. Also, by including the marriage within the world of contract, one effect is to move the status away from its religious roots and aspects and toward its being a secular relationship. The benefit of treating marriage as a special kind of partnership contract is that it emphasizes the individual nature of the relationship and downplays its community aspects. Indeed, the modern marriage is more like an association, in some situations a business association, of two adults who have preserved their individual rights. The chapter then considers freedom to marry as a fundamental right and looks at how states have limited marriage formation throughout history.

Zakres obowiązku zgłaszania zamiaru podjęcia przez posła zawodowego zatrudnienia na uczelni wyższej na stanowisku adiunkta

A Deputy does not have to inform the Marshal of the Sejm about an intention of being employed as an assistant professor in a higher education institution, because it is a creative activity of an individual nature. Such obligation would exist if a Deputy had to perform additional responsibilities (apart from a pure academic or didactic work). In such case a Deputy would lose the right to receive a salary. However, s/he could apply for a partial salary – in the sum equal to the difference between a full Deputy’s salary and an additional one (received as a result of an additional employment).

Legal regulation of personalized medicine in the agricultural sector: the experience of Russia

This study’s topic’s relevance is due to the rapid development of genetic research, when diagnostics, prevention, and treatment are carried out through the study of nucleic acids and their expression products − RNA and proteins. Predictive (personalized) medicine (PMM) has become a preventive trend in molecular medicine, understood in different ways. However, its generally accepted features recognize the individual nature of treatment (each person’s genome is individual). The prophylactic focus of medicine (analysis of the genome is possible at any stage of ontogenesis, long before the disease’s onset) is very important. In carrying out genetic certification, the need to find a legal solution to existing or projected problems is actualized. Legal science is designed to address the issues of protecting human rights in the process of genetic certification, countering discrimination, and other possible violations of constitutional values. The issues raised in the article acquire particular importance in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. Mobility and speed of decision-making require an appropriate legal approach to telemedicine, which will provide the population with high-quality and professional medical care. Besides, it seems reasonable to observe the balance of human rights and freedoms when using the institution of genetic certification and telemedicine

WARGA MADURA DI KOTA MAKASSAR (STUDI ANTARA SOLIDARITAS SOSIAL MEKANIK DAN SOLIDARITAS SOSIAL ORGANIK WARGA MADURA DALAM WADAH PERKIM KOTA MAKASSAR)

This study aims to determine the driving factors of social solidarity in PERKIM organizations and forms of social solidarity in PERKIM organizations in Makassar City. The results showed that the driving factor for social solidarity in the PERKIM organization was the economic factor, which was to help each other in meeting the needs of migrants. The religious factor is encouraging friendship, and please help. The cultural factor is that they have the same habits and also the same language so as to make them comfortable and foster a sense of solidarity between them. The form of social solidarity that is mechanical solidarity seen from the lack of interdependence of one another in terms of work, they can cover each other, and the high sense of mutual help to help between them if there is a disaster, and organic solidarity seen from applicable law is restitution where each member who violates will not be immediately sanctioned but will be given a warning first, as well as the existence of an individual nature of each individual in the PERKIM membership.

Note on the Plan of Nietzsche’s «Beyond Good and Evil»

Note on the Plan of Nietzsche’s «Beyond Good and Evil» is one of the last of Leo Strauss’ works and his only written work devoted to Nietzsche’s philosophy. In the Note Strauss — in his specific manner of writing — consecutively analyses all nine chapters of «Beyond Good and Evil», trying show peculiar qualities of each chapter. Simultaneously he emphasizes some decisive features of Nietzsche’s philosophy in general. Among which one can name: a new concept of truth (as a result of creation and not of contemplation), anti-Platonism (an attempt of abolition or revaluation of Socrates’ legacy), the problem of nature (a transformation of universal nature into individual nature), perception of modern freedom as a transitional state from one kind of slavery to another which will be much greater and harsher. All of these efforts must give to the reader clearer, though, naturally, partisan image of the philosophy of the future, prelude to which this work constitutes.
