Renovation Process Challenges and Barriers

The implementation of Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings (NZEB) renovation packages in Europe needs to be accelerated to meet the decarbonisation goals. To achieve this level of performance, building renovation strategies should shift towards industrialised solutions that incorporate a multitude of passive and active components, increasing the complexity and cost of the execution. Moreover, it requires the involvement of different stakeholders of the building supply chain, resulting in additional difficulties in communication and coordination. To address this challenge, this study aims at mapping the renovation process and at addressing the respective bottlenecks. The objective is to identify the type of information that the stakeholders require during the different renovation phases and provide a framework to structure the workflow between all actors. By structuring the information along the renovation process phases, the different stakeholders can identify when the information can be provided and how the different types of information link to each other.

Mentoring in the Rostov-on-Don anti-plague institute and information link between generations

The article presents the experience of using mentoring as the most effective method of adapting new employees to fully include them in the work of the Rostov-on-don anti-plague Institute. The purpose of the study was to analyze the work on mentoring in the Rostov-on-Don anti-plague Institute and to compare the experience of the Institute with the work in this direction in other institutions in Russia and abroad. It was shown how important the mentoring process was when working with pathogens of groups I–II of pathogenicity, including during the fight against the novel coronavirus infection COVID-19. The importance of mentoring when immersed in the scientific environment, when motivating to acquire new knowledge, and striving for innovative results in their research was also noted. Mentoring is a modern method of personnel work that provides quick adaptation, professional development, and career growth, and has a positive effect on the stability of the institution as a whole.

PERIODICAL «PROSVITNII LYSTOK» (“ENLIGHTENMENT LEAF”) AS SOURCE FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF HISTORY OF UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IN WETZLAR CAMP, GERMANY (1916)

The article attempts to reconstruct the course of cultural, educational and national-organisational work in the Wetzlar camp (Germany) in 1916 by frontal elaboration of the annual set of the camp journal «Prosvitnyi Lystok». It was established that his columns contained a huge amount of information about the life and everyday life of Ukrainian prisoners in Wetzlar, which allows a fairly complete reconstruction of the features of organizational and educational work in this camp. In almost every issue of the newspaper there was a column “From Camp Life”, which contained brief information about the activities of all camp groups and organizations, as well as elected bodies of the Ukrainian community. In addition, all donations received were also reported here (for the disabled and sick in the camp hospital, for Volyn schools, etc.). Acquaintance with the camp chronicle allows to determine the circle of donors, which were profitable organizations in the camp (cooperative union, theatre, “artisan workshop”). With its publications, the newspaper had a strong influence on the formation of the national and political worldview of prisoners, publishing materials on the course of socio-political processes in Ukraine and Russia. At the same time, «Prosvitnyi Lystok» effectively expanded the knowledge of prisoners in agronomy with its articles. At the same time, the magazine instilled in the prisoners the basic principles of civic life, emphasizing the injustice of the imperial order in Russia and the enslaved status of Ukraine as part of the empire. Thanks to this, the magazine gained the support of the majority of Ukrainian prisoners, serving them as almost the only “window” into the world of politics, public life and art. Besides, it successfully fulfilled the mission of an information link between the camp organization and the work teams, providing their members with news and socially significant information. The most important feature of the “Enlightenment Leaf” was the Ukrainian-centricity of all its materials, which helped the prisoners to learn the national-state ideals.
