Religious Practices and the Mediatization of Islam in the Crimea Amidst the Pandemic

The article deals with the changes in the religious life of the Crimean Tatars during the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines such issues as Crimean Muslims’ perception of restrictions on mass religious events, transformation of Islamic rituals and practices, and the process of mediatiza-tion of Islam. The article is written on the basis of analysis of publications in social networks and websites of official Muslim organizations in the Crimea, interviews with religious leaders and partic-ipant observation. The author concludes that the Crimean Tatars’ adaptation to new conditions was generally conflict-free although some manifestations of “coronadissidence” took place. The pandem-ic stimulated the mediatization of Islam in the Crimea, which manifests in accelerated digitalization of Muslim practices and the transfer of Islamic knowledge to the online sphere. For Islamic institu-tions, practices and communications in the Crimea, the transforming consequences of mediatization of religion will become visible over time and will get in the focus of academic research.

Assessing and Measuring: On Quality in Development-led Archaeology

The concept of quality has become the subject of inten- sive discussion in almost all aspects of society in recent years and development-led archaeology is no exception. Results showing a lack of quality have been observed both in countries which choose to use systems based on competitive tendering and in those where development- led archaeology is conducted solely by official institu- tions. In this article the authors discuss the essential elements for achieving good quality in development- led archaeology as required by the Swedish Heritage Act. They also discuss how Swedish development-led archaeology can be enhanced and what is needed to achieve and maintain quality.

The Intersubjective Revolution. Implications for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy

On the occasion of our 30th anniversary, the Association of Psychoanalytic Studies would like to open a scientific debate on what has been considered a deep paradigmatic transformation, "the intersubjective revolution". We will host the leading exponents of two different disciplines, Otto Kernberg and Vittorio Gallese. They will evaluate the reciprocal implications of the role of the psychoanalyst in the psychotherapeutic relationships and give us a better understanding of the neurosci-entific basis of neurotic and psychotic disorders. Modern day research has allowed us to make a significant improvement in psychoanalytic techniques and to update the traditional different psychotherapeutic methods. For 30 years, the Association of Psychoanalytic Studies has been carrying out an original approach in the treatment of psychoses and neuroses according to the Gaetano Benedetti's framework. The Congress will collect and develop the constructive views which have been discussed within the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS). The aim is to highlight the issues that might be raised. The Congress will also make use of the in-sights and progress made by applied research of the participating individual Institu-tions and Schools, of psychoanalysts and psychotherapists. Massimo Ammaniti will deliver a Lectio Magistralis to conclude the Congress.

3D Hologram Technology in Libyan Educational Institutions in Future: Re-view

Holographic projection is the new wave of technology that will change how we view things in the future; it will have tremendous effects on all fields of life including education and science. Generally, A Hologram is a 3D record of the positive interference of laser light waves. Technology of three-dimensional hologram (3DH) involves spatial displays which detaches the display technology from the user and integrate it into the real environment. This research paper examines the essential information about 3D Hologram technology in or-der to understand the importance of this technology in learning .It highlights uses and advantages of 3D Hologram applications in various fields of education. Overall, this study shows that, 3D Hologram technol-ogy has a positive potential as educational tool and able to catch the students’ attention in learning envi-ronment. This paper is valuable for integrating 3D Hologram technology in Libyan higher education institu-tions. The challenges that facing this technology in implementation and the recommendations for future research are addressed at the end of the paper.

Modern writing blogs in the literary, scientific, and educational space

We consider the phenomenon of network literature as an integral part of the modern literary process. We analyze such a phenomenon as a “writing blog” for its compliance with the basic requirements of the neterature: hypertextuality, interactivity, multimedia, informality and pro-cessuality of the text, as well as its semantic content. We conduct a study of the author’s blogs of D. Glukhovsky, E. Vodolazkin, E. Grishkovets, on the one hand, as methods of creating an artistic work, on the other, as ways of promoting the personality and creativity of the writer. Meanwhile, we identify not only the author’s peculiarities of blogging and communication of writers with the readership, but also the individual approaches of particular artistic individuals to the creation and popularization of their works (collective texts writing, combining an artistic work with multimedia content, etc.). We consider the issue of studying online literature in secondary educational institu-tions, and also develop ways to solve it. In particular, we propose an introduction to the educational process of research project work on topical issues of neterature, modern interactive teaching methods, as well as communication of schoolchildren with modern network writers in the format of forums and blogs.

Technologies of Involving Senior Citizens in Working Life (Review of Foreign Practices)

Ageing of population is a global trend that requires modernization of existing institutions to create con-ditions for a decent and proactive old age. The pre-sent study examines the analysis of foreign practic-es in involving senior citizens in working life. Based on the systematization of foreign research there were identified: main problems of employment of retired persons, as well as the most popular tools and technologies for involving and keeping them in the labour sphere. The study places emphasis on only on the development of government programs and initiatives regarding the considered socio-demographic group, but also on the efficient tools of solving the raised problem at organizational level. The authors note that only a comprehensive ap-proach and the creation of interconnected institu-tions can ensure the development of new mecha-nisms of employment relations at labour market and the demand for elderly workers. It is highlighted that the effectiveness of introducing foreign technolo-gies and tools in Russian management depends on the following: quality of preliminary analysis of their demand; their adaptation taking into account exist-ing resource limitations (concerning financial and management aspects) of Russian companies and the established management practices; develop-ment of a new culture of ageing.

The Role of Local Self-government in the System of Interaction between Government and Society: Theoretical Approaches

This paper examines the role of local self-government in the system of interaction between government and society. The characteristic features of self-government and local self-government are highlighted, and the opinions of scientists who played the most important role in shaping ap-proaches to determining the content of the institu-tion of local self-government are analyzed. The pre-requisites for the formation of a sociological ap-proach to determining the content of public institu-tions and their main features are studied. The order of formation of public institutions in various stages of development of society in Russia and foreign countries is considered. The study highlights the importance of sociological research in the process of forming an effectively functioning civil society in the Russian state. As a result of the research, the author's approach to determining the role and func-tion of local self-government in the system of inter-action between government and society is formulat-ed.

REORGANIZATION OF A MULTI-SPECIALTY HOSPITAL IN AN UNFAVORABLE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SITUATION

This study provides a retrospective analysis of work to ensure high quality of medical care in an unfavorable epidemic situation. The consequence of COVID-19 was the implementation of a program to prevent the spread of infection, the re-profiling of medical institu-tions, and the introduction of restrictive and anti-epidemic measures. The experience of our work has shown the effectiveness of changing the order of med-ical care, the organization of the functioning of de-partments and patient routing. The study reflects the measures implemented in the hospital departments, the Department of clinical and laboratory diagnostics, radiation diagnostics and pathology Department. To ensure the safety of patients, it was decided to place patients on a single bed according to the type of infec-tious boxes. The safety of employees was ensured by the use of personal protective equipment, minimiza-tion of contact time with patients, and preventive weekly examination of staff for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The organized and well-coordinated work of the en-tire staff of the institution made it possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among employees, to detect cases of infection in a timely manner, and to carry out appropriate isolation and monitoring measures. At the time of completion of infectious diseases departments, the mortality rate among patients was less than 9%. Our experience in reorganizing a multi-specialty facil-ity can be used in the future when working with pa-tients who have undergone COVID-19, as well as in the context of a worsening epidemic situation.

TRANSFORMATION NEEDS IN AYURVEDA EDUCATION: WHERE & HOW

The students with different backgrounds having habituated to different type of teaching methods and ter-minologies are joining Ayurveda education and there is big mismatch between their expectation, perception and actual teaching and training. Teaching and learning process in Ayurveda colleges has not much changed in spite of availability of technological tools. There will be need of dynamic continuum between research, education and practice. Better teaching techniques and modernization of Ayurveda education will improve the clinical and academic output, which in turn make them able to be presentable for ayurvedic principles. So, in order to convert Ayurveda to global level from the traditional way, it is necessary to adopt the latest technological tools and scientific framework in Ayurveda education. There will be urgent need to update and modernize the education system of Ayurveda and make the curriculum which is student centric and teacher should be facilitator. A multi-disciplinary approach in education system will be better for Indi-an system of medicine where some teachers from pharmaceutical chemistry, analytical chemistry, botany, phyto chemistry etc. will be appointed in institutions to provide the required trainings. Quality of institu-tions are very important concern in Ayurveda education sector. Quality of teachers also play very im-portant role in providing quality education to students because only through good education a relatively permanent change in personality of individuals is achieved in cognitive, psychomotor and affective do-mains. There is need to involve many other modern research methods in Ayurveda such as PIP and EIS. Medical informatics, Cyber medicine, Computerized Ayurveda studies will be brought revolutionary changes in the background of Ayurveda professionals.

The carceral existence of social work academics: a Foucauldian analysis of social work education in English universities

Applying Foucault’s concepts of disciplinary power and technologies of the self to the ex-periences of social work academics in English universities, this articles reveals their carceral existences, arguing that social work academics and their students exist within a “carceral network” which controls and normalises behaviour by simultaneously trapping them with-in and excluding them from succeeding in academic practices. While social work academics become “docile bodies” as they are shaped and trained by competing norms of neoliberal higher education and professional social practice, their position as insiders and outsiders to both can also enable them to resist certain disciplinary expectations. The findings of the qualitative study discussed in this article support Foucault’s analysis of powerful institu-tions but problematise binary positions of docility or resistance to disciplinary power with-in them. Lived experiences of ‘becoming academic’ in English social work education reveal how normalising judgements and hierarchical observation intersect with neoliberal forms of responsibilisation to create a carcerality rooted in “incompetence”; how “technologies of relationships” are used to mediate individual forms of responsibilisation, and how having to negotiate multiple disciplinary regimes can create opportunities for resistance to each.
