Milestones in Nuclear Law: A Journey in Nuclear Regulation

The development of the nuclear legal framework has been an interesting journey reflecting a commitment to addressing the key aspects of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy through a variety of approaches using both binding treaties and conventions and non-binding codes and guidance. This complex framework of hard and soft law instruments has developed in response to action forcing events. Future development of the legal regime will be aided by greater harmonization and commitment to ensuring that institutions at an international and national level are transparent and willing to engage in constructive interaction with stakeholders. Legal advisers will continue to play an important role in assisting policy makers and technical experts in crafting comprehensive and effective approaches to further development of the framework for nuclear energy and its regulation. In those deliberations a number of key elements should be highlighted. This chapter suggests that elements are stakeholder trust, strong institutional capacity, and integration of international instruments and standards at national levels.

THE ESSENCE OF THE LEADERSHIP POSITION OF FUTURE PUBLIC MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION SPECIALISTS

the essence of such concepts as “position”, “leader”, “leadership”, “leadership position” is revealed in the article, based on the analysis of the scientific literature it is proved that most of the works of scientists are devoted to the study of leadership as such, to the working out the approaches to the formation and development of leadership qualities, the author’s interpretation of the essence of the leadership position of future specialists in public management and administration is given, which is seen as a synergy of their personal, professional, civic qualities, actions and deeds aimed at implementing their main mission, that is readiness to ensure constructive interaction of public authorities, education, science, business and civil society.

Negotiating Subjectivity within Simulation: The Posthuman in Philip K. Dick’s Ubik

The aim of this paper is to offer a reading of P. K. Dick’s Ubik which investigates the possibility for a representation of posthuman subjectivity in the novel. The forming of a sustainable posthuman subjectivity occurs in the novel against the backdrop of what might be described in Baudrillardian terms as hyperreality. The use of Baudrillard?s idea of hyperreality may not only guide the analysis towards uncovering the circumstances facilitating the emergence of posthuman subjects in Ubik, but also reveal an illustration of the dialogue between the postmodern and the posthuman positions. Ultimately, I contend that Dick’s novel depicts the emergence of posthuman modes of subjectivity in a process which is facilitated by the context of hyperreality. This unexpected coincidence occurs through a positive, constructive interaction with the environment, bestowing, through symbolic exchange, sustainability to the inhabitants of unstable reality.

Mechanisms of instability growth, interaction and breakdown induced by a backward-facing step in a swept-wing flow

Time-resolved particle image velocimetry measurements were performed downstream of a swept backward-facing step. The measurements allow detailed analysis of the interactions between the unsteady instabilities and the stationary crossflow vortices. Different mechanisms are identified that lead to the modulation of the different families of unsteady instabilities that occur downstream of the step. For the low-frequency spanwise-travelling mode, the modulation occurs due to a redistribution of momentum when the instability encounters regions of large spanwise shear of the wall-normal and streamwise velocity. However, the higher-frequency streamwise-travelling instabilities undergo the familiar ‘lift-up’ mechanism when they encounter the regions of large vertical velocity due to the presence of the stationary crossflow vortices. The process leading to large velocity spikes, and ultimately to a laminar breakdown to turbulence, is identified as a constructive interaction between the different unsteady instabilities, coupled with an interaction with the stationary crossflow vortices when the phases align properly.

About the role of public organizations in the structure of the housing and communal services system

The practice of public associations entering various spheres of activity in the territories of the state shows that many associations do not fulfill their missions to ensure a comfortable stay for the citizens of the territories, but are engaged in consumer extremism. They solve their consumer tasks and systematically do not participate in the processes of constructive interaction between the authorities, producers and consumers of services. In this article, for the first time, the issues of interaction of public associations in the housing and communal services system with all the elements available in it are considered. The existing structure of the housing and communal services system is shown, which includes such elements as: federal, regional authorities, resource-supplying, related organizations, regional operators in the field of housing and communal services, performers of housing and communal services, public associations and homeowners and tenants. The stages of the organization of public associations are defined, a block diagram of the algorithm of state registration and registration of a legal entity for public associations is constructed. The internal organizational and managerial structure of associations is shown, their functions and their place in the housing and communal services management system are considered. It should be emphasized that the influence of public organizations is carried out through internal and external management in the housing and communal services system to solve the tasks of promoting the formation of housing self-government as an important institution of civil society and an effective tool for improving the housing and communal industry. It is revealed that an essential tool in the management of the housing and communal services system is the presence of public microstructures in the majority of its elements, interaction with which makes it possible to exert a controlling influence on the entire system as a whole, thereby obtaining positive results in protecting the rights of consumers of housing and communal services.

Urban culture in augmented social reality: conjunction versus disjunction

The objective is to assess the role of urban culture in the formation and growth of the conjunctive-consolidation potential in a modern city in the context of augmented social reality. The basis for the article was a sociological study conducted by the authors in 2020 in three cities of the Belgorod region (Belgo-rod, Gubkin, Novy Oskol), which included: a) a questionnaire survey of the urban population (N=500) based on a quo-ta (by sex and age), zoned and multistage sampling; b) expert survey (N=30 experts); and c) three focus groups (urban youth, employees of cultural institutions, and media workers). Based on the study, the authors revealed dynamic equilibrium between conjunctive and disjunctive trends in the development of urban culture. The sphere of urban culture has significant opportunities for the formation and build-up of conjunctive-consolidation potential, which is expressed in the acquisition of urban citizens’ ability and readiness for mutual loyalty and constructive interaction.

Constructive Interaction of Teacher and Student in the Process of Learning to Play the Clarinet As a Condition for Formation of Ensemble Music Culture

Constructivity in the interaction of a teacher and a student contributes to an increase in the level of musical and performing skills, therefore, the problem of research is relevant in connection with the disclosure in the conditions of constructive interaction of the potential capabilities of the student when playing the instrument, the influence on its creative development, including in the field of ensemble music. Such interaction encourages the acquisition of the entire complex of competencies and its own professional position. The constructive interaction of the teacher and the student in the course of classes in the clarinet class as a condition for the formation of a culture of ensemble music was not previously considered, therefore this article is devoted to a theoretical study of the problem of forming the skill of constructive interaction of the teacher and student and illuminating the method of its formation in the clarinet class

THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTIVE INTERACTION SKILL AS A COMPONENT OF SOCIAL SUCCESS OF JUNIOR PUPIL

The article proves that in order to achieve success in a person's society, it is important to be not only intellectually developed, but also to be able to work effectively in a team. The analysis of a scientific literature shows that there is a lack of research aimed at the purposeful development of students' ability to interact constructively with others. The purpose of the article is to reveal the theoretical and practical foundations for the development of the ability to constructively interact with others in primary school students. The following methods were used: theoretical analysis of a scientific literature on the problem of research, modeling, in order to describe the technique of constructing tasks for joint activities; empirical methods: diagnostic techniques, psychological and pedagogical experiment; methodology for building teaching as a holistic creative process.The article describes the essence of constructive interaction between the subjects of the educational process, presents the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of students of primary school age, the ability to constructively interact with others, namely: the introduction of the course "Logic" in the educational process of primary school in grades from 2 to4, tasks, related to the content of the course "Logic", in the lessons on the disciplines of the humanities and natural-mathematical cycles; the use of interactive teaching methods in the educational process; creation and implementation of tasks for joint educational activities, providing for the "I - inclusion" of everyone in joint work. A system of tasks related to the content of the course "Logic" is presented, examples of tasks of a combined nature are given and the process of working on them is described. The creation of tasks for joint educational activities in large and small groups by means of ICT is described, examples of such tasks are given, the process of working on such tasks is described.With the help of the introduction of certain diagnostic techniques and the organization of experimental research at the all-Ukrainian level, the positive dynamics of the development of students' ability to interact constructively with others and, as a consequence, the effectiveness of the named psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of the presented skill have been proved.

Bilingual learning environment as a resource for the development of creative abilities and socio-psychological adaptation of hearing-impaired children

Introduction. The article addresses the problem of bilingualism of deaf children in the educational process with the main focus on enhancing their creative abilities and socio-psychological adjustment. The purpose of the research is to study and describe the resource for the development of creative abilities and socio-psychological adaptation of children with hearing impairment. Materials and Methods. In this paper the authors provide a review of Russian and international studies into the role of bilingualism in deaf education. The evaluation of creative abilities and socialization of children with hearing impairment was conducted using the following projective methods: ‘Measurement of creative thinking’ (E. Torrance’s Incomplete figure test), N. V. Shaidurova’s measurement of older preschoolers’ creativity, ‘A picture of the family’ by T. G. Khomentauskas (adaptated by O. Y. Piskun and R. O. Agavelyan) as well as sets of survey methods including M. A. Panfilova’s “Sociometric questionnaire for children” and V. V. Tkacheva’s “Questionnaire for parents”. The sample consisted of 16 senior preschool age deaf children and their parents (n = 16). Results. Results. The authors identify the features of the development of creative abilities in children with hearing impairment: a slow formation of verbal speech, role-play interaction, and abstract thinking. The study reveals low socio-psychological adaptation, high parental deprivation and anxiety. In some cases, children are deprived of constructive interaction with their parents. It is emphasized that bilingual learning environment can be considered as a tool of deaf children’s social adjustment. The relevant learning environment can be created within the center of development and psychological and educational support for individuals with special education needs. Competent professionals (including those with disabilities) who use Russian sign language are motivated to communicate with deaf children and their parents for subsequent successful social integration and adjustment. Conclusions. The study concludes that within a personality-centered paradigm of a bilingual educational environment for creative development of children with hearing impairment and their socio-psychological adjustment, the leading factor is the bilingual approach to creating the center for psychological and educational support for families with the main focus on constructive interaction with deaf children.
