У статті розглядається використання засобів візуалізації для створення електронних ресурсів у процесі навчання математичних дисциплін у закладах вищої освіти. Особлива увага приділяється програмним засобам візуалізації математичних даних, які дозволяють представити числа, кількісні відношення, просторові об’єкти і процеси як абстрактні мультимедійні статичні або динамічні моделі, що імітують сутність предмета пізнання і на яких математичні дані можуть бути подані одночасно в комбінації різних форм: текстових, звукових, графічних, анімаційних, фото і відео. Встановлено, що при створенні електронних ресурсів для навчання математичних дисциплін з використанням засобів візуалізації навчального матеріалу доцільно дотримуватись таких основних принципів: когнітивної візуалізації, інформаційної насиченості, наочності, стиснення, повноти, цілісності сприйняття, достовірності, актуальності і точності математичних даних. Проведено аналіз програмних засобів візуалізації навчальних даних за такими характеристиками як вільно поширювальний програмний продукт, зручність і простота використання, багатий візуальний матеріал, інтеграція з системою управління навчанням Moodle і сервісами хмарних інформаційних технологій, зручність працювати на екранах будь-якого розміру: від смартфонів до комп’ютерів. Визначено спеціальне і загальне програмне забезпечення, що відповідає цим вимогам і застосування якого для наочного подання математичних даних дає змогу зробити складний навчальний матеріал зрозумілим і доступним для усвідомлення, представити його в організованому, компактному і концентрованому вигляді. Наведено приклади використання програмних засобів візуалізації математичних даних як спеціального (програма динамічної математики – GeoGebra), так і загального програмного забезпечення (MindMeister, Google таблиці, Screencast-o-matic, iSpring Suite, Draw.io Pro, RealTimeBoard, ThingLink) для створення мультимедійних моделей візуалізації математичних даних з використанням таких засобів, як таблиці, графіки, діаграми, інтелект-карти, навчальні фільми, інфографіка, мультимедійні презентації та інтерактивні плакати.

СОХРАНЕНИЕ ДОКАЗАТЕЛЬСТВ, ДОБЫТЫХ ВО ВРЕМЯ ПРЕДВАРИТЕЛЬНОГО СЛЕДСТВИЯ, КАК ОДНА ИЗ ЗАДАЧ, РЕШАЕМЫХ В ПРОЦЕССЕ СУДЕБНОГО РАЗБИРАТЕЛЬСТВА ПО ДЕЛАМ ОБ ОРГАНИЗОВАННОЙ ПРЕСТУПНОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ

Given that the situations of preliminary investigation and court proceedings have the same epistemological nature, it is possible to apply the classification grounds developed in the theory of investigative situations to systematise and streamline the trial. It is possible to distinguish judicial situations related to: preservation of evidence obtained during the preliminary investi-gation in court; filling gaps in the preliminary investigation materials; evaluation of evidence in court and, finally, making a decision on the merits of the case. These judicial situations need to be resolved and have a significant impact on the tactics of the judicial investigation. This is because each case raises questions such as whether to begin the examination of evidence with the interrogation of defendants, victims or witnesses and, if there are several defendants, in what order to interrogate them, in what order to inter-rogate witnesses, in what part of the judicial investigation it is better to conduct expert exami-nations, inspection of physical evidence, the scene of the incident and other investigative actions. Criminal procedural legislation does not regulate such issues, which allows us to refer them to the tactics of the judicial investigation. The judicial-investigative situation under consideration, related to the change of testimony in court, can be partially resolved by choosing the order and combination of different forms of judicial interrogation, summoning for questioning to court persons who, according to the defendant, used methods of illegal influence, using such idea of information interaction as the principle of maevtika, related to the enrichment of information. Its essence is that in addition to the information obtained in the course of the investigation and operational-search activities and fixed in the relevant documents, the court should be presented with related information. This may include, for example, a video recording of the information environment at the time of the interview or during the interrogation, especially when the potential perpetrator was confessing. Pursuant to article 240, paragraph 1, of the Code of Criminal Procedure, in addition to hearing the testimony of the defendant, the victim, witnesses and expert findings, examining material evidence, and disclosing protocols and other documents, the court carries out other judicial investigative activities to examine the evidence. This enables the court to identify in the course of the trial the reasons for a change in the evidence and to verify its consistency with reality. At the same time, it is often the investigator or operative who can provide an indication of the sources of information that can help verify statements about the coercion of interrogators to confess, when they are questioned during the judicial investigation.

Sorption Preconcentration Of Silver For Atomic Absorption Analysis And Antibacterial Properties Of The Acid-Modified Clinoptilolite – Ag Composite

Sorptive properties of the acid-modified Transcarpathian clinoptilolite towards Ag(I) were studied under dynamic conditions. It was found that the most effective acid-modifier is 1 M HNO3 solution. The sorption capacity value of H-clinoptilolite under the optimal conditions is 6.15 mg of Ag per 1 g of zeolite. The solid-phase extraction procedure with acid-modified clinoptilolite was used to pre-concentrate trace amounts of silver ions in aqueous solutions and then finally to determine them by the atomic absorption method. Due to the acceptable recoveries (≥ 98 %) and RSD values (2.3-4.7 %) for tap and lake water, the developed method can be successfully applied for the determination of trace amounts of silver ions in the presence of major components of water. It was established that the initial form of clinoptilolite has a better antibacterial effect against E. coli than the H-form. However, antagonistic activity against S. aureus was lower than against E. coli in both forms. The combination of different forms of clinoptilolite with Ag(I) increases their antibacterial activity.

PARENTS AND PRESCHOOL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION INTERACTION DURING THE EDUCATION PROCESS OF CHILDREN SENSITIVENESS

The present article emphasizesthe question of the necessity of educational process of sensitiveness of preschool children as the basic ability of the personality. It turns out through needs, requests and wishes of others. Person is to be attentive to the interests, problems, compassion and be ready to help.Special attention is paid tothe interaction between parents and preschool education institutions while upbringing and educating children. Interactive forms of work with stuffand parentsare defined (group, individual and visual informative) which are used in the educational process for the sake of childrensensitiveness.The article touches upon the issue that today the cooperation between family and preschool educational institutions should become closer. Parents’ partnership has to exist not only with the tutor but with all pedagogical staff who takes part in the process of teaching and learning. The cooperation has to be realized constantly.Teachers’ aim is to help parents to teach children morality and responsiveness. The child is considered an equal participant of the educational process.The process of educating children responsiveness is in qualitative cooperation between all social institutions (family, preschool institutions, out-of-school establishments). For getting the results preschool educational institution has to create an atmosphere of a certain contact with the effective forms of work.The author points out the most effective forms of interaction with parents. They are parent meetings, classes-trainings, meetings with parents, oral journals, pedagogical living rooms, round tables, parenting conferences, workshops, debates, classestrainings. The effectiveness depends on the common aim of all participants and the creative cooperation.The institution’s goal is to attract parents to the interaction and teach them to organize their free time with children in a wright way. The author of the article draws reader’s attention to the need of paying attention to the individual work with parents including usage of social and psychological methodology of child’s development «Dolls with the personal stories (puppets-persons)». The partnership interaction in the process of educating responsiveness is displayed with the help of visual-informational forms at the preschool educational institution. The effective interaction at the mentioned institutions is in the combination of different forms of work. The tutor has help parents to watch their child and open new qualities and characteristic.Preschool educational institution is a guide in joint educational work. For this all stuff has to be very qualified and increase its professionalism.

Understanding complementarities among different forms of innovation

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to better understand complementarities-in-performance of three forms of innovations: product innovation, process innovation and organizational innovation. Additionally, complementarities-in-use for product innovation are examined, considering an additional condition: manufacturing flexibility.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from 223 unlisted Portuguese industrial firms, and a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, different combinations of different forms of innovations were examined to identify complementarities-in-performance and complementarities-in-use.FindingsThrough the configurational analysis, a path to achieve high performance was uncovered, which includes the presence of both product and organizational innovations. The study also reveals that the joint absence of two conditions (from the three that were considered in the analysis) can lead to low performance. This result indicates that the relationships among the antecedent conditions are non-linear. The configurational analysis also shows that the combination of manufacturing flexibility with either process innovation or organizational innovation can lead to high product innovation. This result confirms that manufacturing flexibility is an important condition for product innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThe empirical evidence reported in this paper may be influenced by the definitions that were considered. Further conceptual and empirical research is encouraged to corroborate (or refute) or consolidate the findings presented herein. Moreover, although the obtained results present a high empirical coverage, other antecedent conditions beyond the scope of this study can also play an important role; for instance, marketing could influence innovation performance. Furthermore, radical innovation was not distinguished from incremental innovation when analyzing firm performance.Practical implicationsThis study provides some clues for policy makers who aim to enhance firm performance through innovation. Managers should focus on both organizational and technological innovations, in particular product innovation, to improve firm performance. Moreover, they should be aware of the complementarities-in-use for product innovation. Considering the importance of developing product innovation to enhance performance, firms should promote high levels of product innovation. To achieve this outcome, manufacturing flexibility should be present.Originality/valueFocusing on a very complex and still under-researched topic, this study contributes to the complementarities literature in several ways. This study employs a configurational approach to better understand complementarities and to integrate technological and organizational innovations. By taking this approach, this study acknowledges the existence of non-linearity and identifies not only the strategies to achieve high performance, but also the configurations that lead to low performance.

Emotional evaluation of architectural interior forms based on personality differences using virtual reality

Recent studies have shown that architectural interior forms could impact the affective state of inhabitants. However, the direct relation of specific forms with specific affective states is difficult to determine. In addition, no systematic categorization of architectural forms and their relation to emotional states exists. The investigation of the impact of architectural features on inhabitants' emotions is further complicated by the use of two-dimensional images of forms in laboratory investigations, which cannot perceive real-world architecture. Furthermore, the interior form consists of a combination of different forms rather than only pure forms, which was considered in previous studies. This study aimed to fill these gaps by evaluating interior forms on the basis of clustering different images of built living rooms throughout history as well as their impact on emotions. This study used pleasure, arousal, and dominance ratings with an emphasis on individual differences in personality. Virtual sample rooms were created based on formal clusters of architectural forms. Results showed a relationship between forms and emotional states for different personality traits. This work provided a novel approach on the influence of architecture on emotion by considering systematic form categorization and combinations, personality differences, and a virtual reality setup.

On the Influence of the Shape of Kappa Distributions of Ions and Electrons on the Ion Firehose Instability

We consider a plasma with electrons and ions described by different combinations of different forms of Kappa distributions, and also by bi-Maxwellian distributions, for investigation of the ion firehose instability. The investigation considers Kappa distributions with small value of the kappa index, which enhance the differences between Kappa distributions and bi-Maxwellian distributions. The results obtained show that different forms of anisotropic Kappa distributions for the ions can have significantly different effect on the growth rates of the instability. The results obtained also show significant effect of the shape of the electron distribution, as well as effect of the anisotropy of electron temperatures, on the growth rates and on the unstable spectral range of the ion firehose instability.

THE STRUCTURE OF MALOCCLUSION AMONG SCHOOL CHILDREN OF THE MODERN CITY

Physiological occlusion is a type of occlusion in which all parts of the masticatory apparatus harmoniously interact. The pathology of occlusion is in violation of this balance. There are many factors that directly affect the occlusion - as a general organization (heredity, the influence of the endocrine system, etc.), and local factors (trauma to the oral cavity, harmful habits). In view of this, the prevalence of various nosological forms of dental-maxillary anomalies (hereinafter referred to as AFC) is a relevant field for research in modern dentistry. After analyzing the scientific works of a number of authors [1-5], we conclude that the ASC often has a combined nature (a combination of different forms of pathologies). Many studies conducted among various populations provide a variegated picture of the distribution of this or that anomaly. So, the analysis of the author, conducted by Hardy et al. [6] showed that the distribution of class III anomalies varies from 0 to 26.7%, depending on the population studied. Therefore, knowledge of the epidemiological situation and the correct definition of a particular form of the disease is crucial in the further planning of treatment tactics.

Risk of major cancers associated with various forms of tobacco use in India: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Several studies have established the association of various cancers with tobacco consumption. However, hardly any attempt has been made to examine the combined effect of various forms of tobacco consumption. Hence, the present study was undertaken to measure the overall risk of different cancer sites associated with various forms of tobacco used individually or in combination, and to investigate the risk variation within each site by different forms of use. Meta-analysis was carried out on the findings of 22 published studies of samples exposed to tobacco use and control groups that were not exposed to tobacco. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) for each cancer for different combinations of forms of tobacco were calculated using a random effects model. Smoking was found to be associated with a 5-fold higher risk of oropharynx, larynx, and lung, a 3-fold higher risk of hypopharynx, and esophagus, and a 2-fold higher risk of oral cancer. Esophagus (OR = 3.5) and oral cancer were the only sites significantly associated with tobacco chewing. The OR associated with bidi smoking was highest for lung (6-fold) followed by esophagus (3.5-fold) and oral cancer (3-fold). Lung cancer was also significantly associated with cigarette smoking. The present study reported pooled ORs for different tobacco-related cancers associated with various forms of tobacco use, both individually as well as in various combinations. Collecting data on the consumption of tobacco is a complex exercise. Pooled ORs reported in this study will be useful in working out the quantum of diverse tobacco-related cancers attributable to different forms of tobacco consumption, both individually as well as in combination.

Development model of professional competences in environmental monitoring in the system of postgraduate education

During the study there was elaborated the structural-functional model of professional competences formation in the system of postgraduate education, and its main components (purpose, conceptual, content, operational and activity, control and regulative, resulting and diagnostic) were defined. This model is a generalized system with a system-innovative approach to improving theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of environmental monitoring, it reflects the content filling of the professional development of specialists, main scientific-methodological statements (principles, phenomena, processes) that may be corrected, corresponding to concrete requirements of the professional activity of specialists in the nature protection field. There are separated the components of training specialists in environmental monitoring: special and professional (informational, graphic, professional-motivational, gnostic, communicative, adaptive), scientific and research (methodological, analytic, prognostic), laboratory and practical (methodical, organizational, activity) that mutually add each other and are closely connected. There is characterized each component of the structural-functional model, and interconnections between them are demonstrated. There is demonstrated the methodology of formation of professional competences in environmental monitoring in the system of postgraduate education. It is established, that this model structures and improves formation stages of professional competences in ecological specialists, determines organizational-pedagogic conditions of this process. In particular the improvement of the content component, complex combination of different forms of study organization, creation of the innovative educational space in environmental monitoring in the system of postgraduate education. According to this model, professional competences in environment monitoring will be developed by workers of state, expert-control, inspection, departmental, scientific and educational, social institutions, production, nature protection enterprises, establishments, institutions, social organizations

Музичний контекст “контрапунктового читання” Едварда Саїда

The aim of article is to expand the theoretical problematic field of “music in literature” with the ideas of American literary critic, culture critic, music critic and musician Edward Said. These elaborations are part of literary criticism comparative studies and intermediality. Thus, we are discussing the method of contrapuntal reading developed by Edward Said on the basis of reception of music and referencing the creativity of famous composers and musicians. An important principle of crossing boundaries has been singled out, by which the thinker implies the ability music and literature to adapt mutually to each other, to contain and add social structures and change means of expression depending on situations and public, power and sex constellations. It is also noted that for a literary critic it is absolutely natural to provide arguments as to certain poetological aspects of a literary work resorting to regularities of musical art and, vice versa, efficiently employ literary context when discussing musical pieces. Edward Said contributed to change of the perception of opera, which in his interpretation turned into a place of social discourse. It is stressed that contrapuntal reading is characterized, first of all, by a link between an aesthetic concept and a powerful political definition of the direction “contra”, and secondly, by a combination of different forms of art and activity in a single general concept which claims to be metaphoric and methodological at the same time. Separate essays by Edward Said in which he interprets the role of counterpoint have been analyzed, in particular those referring to the creativity of G. Gould. The analysis is based on Edward Said’s essays about music published in Musical Elaborations , 1991 and Music at The Limits, 2007.

Stretching and Challenging the Boundaries of Law: Varieties of Knowledge in Biotechnologies Regulation

The paper addresses the question of adaptation of existing regulatory frameworks in the face of innovation in biotechnologies, and specifically the roles played in this by various expert knowledge practices. We identify two overlapping ideal types of adaptation: first, the stretching and maintenance of a pre-existing legal framework, and second, a breaking of existing classifications and establishment of a novel regime. We approach this issue by focusing on varieties of regulatory knowledge which, contributing to and parting of political legitimacy, in principle enable the making of legally binding decisions about risks and benefits of technologies. We base the discussion around two case studies, one of animal biotechnology ethical regulation, the other of ‘advanced therapy’ medicinal product regulation, both in the context of European Union frameworks. Specifically, we explore the knowledge configurations constituting expert committees and other institutional formations of expert regulatory knowledge in their political context. We show that where sectoral and moral boundaries are challenged, different modes of regulatory knowledge beyond scientific forms – legal, procedural, moral, economic and industrial – can shape regulatory innovations either by maintenance of regimes through commensuration and stretching, or through differentiation and separation creating new frameworks. We conclude that establishing an essential techno-scientific difference between pre-existing and novel technologies does not in itself require new regulatory structures, and that the regulatory strategy that is followed will be determined by a combination of different forms of knowledge.

The Programme of the Elective Course "The Competency-Based Approach in Pharmaceutical Education as a Subject of Pedagogical Design"

In the article, it has been revealed that the implementation of the competency-based approach in the system of vocational training of future specialists for the pharmaceutical sphere in modern higher education institutions (medical schools) involves aiming at the high level of development in students a set of demanded competencies required for them to qualitatively perform their professional activities.
 The key objective of this article is to analyze the programme of the academic discipline (elective course), namely: "The Competency-based Approach in Pharmaceutical Education as a Subject of Pedagogical Design". In this scientific paper there have been used the methods of theoretical analysis and synthesis to consolidate the experience in designing the content of the academic discipline (elective course) "The Competency-based Approach in Pharmaceutical Education" in the settings of implementation of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in the National Medical University named after O. O. Bohomolets; methods of pedagogical design for substantiation and development of contextual, operational, final-assessment program components of the mentioned academic discipline.
 The author has discovered that in the process of pedagogical design of the structure of the program for the academic discipline (elective course) "The Competency-based Approach in Pharmaceutical Education" in the settings of implementation of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in the training process of the students for the specialisation 226 "Pharmacy" it is important to develop the didactic complex of information supply for the academic discipline which improves the context of the topic-related workshops, the quality of the tests for evaluating educational progress of students and their self-performed work. In the feasibility study of the scientific and methodical approach to developing the Programme of the elective course studied there was decided on the development of the contextual, operational and final assessment components.
 When designing the contextual component of the course there were specified its goals and objectives, selected and arranged the topics of the course with consideration of the training module.
 Throughout the development of the operational component of the course there was considered the combination of different forms of educational process: workshops, self-study activities, assessment tools.
 The formal manifestation of realization of the final assessment component of designing of the mentioned course there became the design of the ECTS-based assessment system for evaluation of educational progress of students, as a result of which there were chosen the following assessment tools: the ongoing written assessment (module knowledge assessment), panel and individual interviews, self-assessment and final assessment which is assigned in the final lesson with the use of tests and solving situational problems.

Classifications of endometriosis

In the article a review of the main classifications of endometriosis is presented. Main drawbacks of existing classifications have been revealed. A need for a new classification of the disease, which has to be empirical, evidence-based, containing terms that have unambiguous definitions, applicable for various clinical situations, taking into account new clinical forms and able to predict a course of the disease (including the development of pain syndrome and infertility), it’s outcomes and a risk of recurrence is stressed. The new classification of endometriosis has to be based on resolutions of a consensuses and applicable for new guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. For the new classification it is essential to be approachable and easy-to-use in routine clinical practice. It has to allow a physician to determine a stage the disease promptly and meaningfully. A new Protocol taking into account a combination of different forms of endometriosis (superficial, deep infiltrative, adenomyosis, endometriomas, extragenital), color of endometriotic lesions, special aspects of clinical course, results of hormonal examination, reproductive plans and prior hormonal therapy is proposed.

Anthropometry and Nutritional Status of Primary School Children in a Sub-urban Region in Tanzania

Background: Although undernutrition in children is widely recognized as a major health problem in Tanzania, region-specific prevalence data remain scarce. The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of stunting and thinness among primary-school-aged children in a village in the Arusha region in Tanzania, with the aim of developing a targeted nutritional support program. Methods: In the present school-based cross-sectional study, anthropometric measurements were obtained for all children (n = 1,379) who attended Baraa primary school in the Baraa village located at the transition between a rural and urban area in the Arusha region. The data were compared with the world health organization (WHO) 2007 growth reference data for individuals between the ages of 5 to 19. Continuous variables were compared using the t-test, while categorical variables were compared using Pearson’s chi-square test. Spearman’s correlation and χ 2for trend were used to compare the trend of continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Results: Basic anthropometric values of the study participants were significantly lower than those of the reference population. The mean values of z-scores significantly differed from zero. No gender differences in the prevalence of stunting and thinness were found. Three hundred and twenty-six children (23.7%) suffered from at least one form of undernutrition: 225 (16.3%) were stunted while 156 (11.3%) were thin. The prevalence of both stunting and thinness was at its lowest in the youngest children (5 - 9 years) and highest in the oldest children (14 - 19 years). Furthermore, 54 (16.5%) of the undernourished children suffered from multiple forms of undernutrition. Conclusions: Undernutrition remains prevalent among primary-school-aged children in the Arusha region, Tanzania. Moreover, a high proportion of children suffer from a combination of different forms of undernutrition, with an increase in the prevalence of undernutrition with age.

The Structure of the Modern Period Book Culture and the Mechanisms of Book Historical Development

The article examines the form of book and the book culture of the Modern Period. The author de- fi nes that the form of book is in direct correlation to the techno logy and artistic image of the book, and the book culture is considered as a combination of different forms of books in their interaction. The author reconstructs the Modern Period book culture on the basis of main book techniques — manuscript, engraving, printing. These techniques define the existence of three basic forms of the Modern Period book — hand-written book, engraved book, printed book. According to the author’s opinion, each of the forms is determined by specific social needs and demands of the historical period. In addition to the three basic forms, the book culture of the Modern Period includes some hybrid book forms, which appeared as a result of the interaction between different book techniques — e.g. “engraved and hand-written”, “engraved and printed”, etc. Their occurrence is caused by the needs of society and the technical capabilities of that time. The ratio of the book techniques in a certain historical period depends on the level of development of the book distribution system. According to this approach, the history of books is considered as a consecutive change of book culture types, which happens due to the emergence of new techniques of the book. The emergence of new book techniques gradually destabilizes the stable (traditional) type of book culture — because of the appearance of new book forms in its interior — and thus contributes to the emergence of a new type of book culture and a new period in the development and history of books. Such a model of book development is shown for the first time in this article.

Аналіз варіантів поєднання різних форм скронево-нижньощелепних розладів за результатами обстеження хворих

This paper is dedicated to the improvement of diagnosis quality of combined forms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) by means of characteristic of their structure. In research, the combination varieties of TMD different forms were determined and analyzed due to the examination results of 114 patients and peculiarities of disorders’ distribution taking into account the patients’gender were studied. The percentage of patients with a combination of different forms of TMD made up (51.8+4.7)%, i.e., every second TMD patient was subjected to the course of several different disorders simultaneously. Among them the percentage of women – (88.1±4.2) %, men– (11.9±4.2) %, the women/men ratio was equal to 7.4:1.0 correspondingly. Among the varieties of a combination of different forms of TMD, the percentage of the option «muscular disorder + TMJ internal disorder» was (37.3±6.3) %, «muscular disorder + arthritis» – (33.9±6.2) %, other options of combined disorders were (28.8±5.7) %. The obtained results point to the necessity of primary consideration on the symptoms reveal of TMJ internal disorders and muscular disorders that combine most frequently, when performing differential diagnosis.

The Impact of Financial and Social Remittances in Perpetuating Migration (Albanian Migration Context)

Since 1990 Albania has experienced massive external and international migration due to political, economical and social changes occurred in Albanian society. Albanian migration represents a variety of migratory experiences and a combination of different forms of migration (internal, external, temporary, permanent, etc) and destinations. Albania’s contemporaneous mass emigration and internal migration over the short span of time since 1990 provides an excellent laboratory to study the inter links of these types of migration (King R, Skeldon R, - Vullnetari J, 2008: 33). Migration and remittances have changed the social face of Albanian society. Based on the theoretical framework of De Haas (2010) that social remittances can further strengthen migration aspiration, the aim of this paper is to highlight the impact of financial and social remittances from emigrants to Greece in encouraging internal (rural to urban) and external ongoing migration. Data collection will be provided by in-depth interviews. This paper will base on case-histories of Albanian families with different migratory experience to show off how emigration to Greece has lead to a subsequent internal migration within Albania.

Time To Engage

This article explores De Correspondent as a specific example of slow journalism that aims to establish an alternative for quality journalism governed by the objectivity regime. It offers an analysis of the way the platform redefines journalism’s quality standards against the background of the tension between traditional modernistic claims to truth and competing postmodern ideas on the social construction of knowledge. Moreover, the article examines how these ideals are translated into journalistic texts. The article argues that both in its rhetoric and in its actual practice, the articles in De Correspondent deviate from the principles of quality journalism under the objectivity regime. They are structured around the mediating subjectivity of the journalists and are thus openly subjective. Yet, they also draw on empirical research and scientific knowledge. Moreover, they are transparent about the reporting process, which through their reflection becomes an integral part of the story itself. Thus, being transparent about their combination of different forms of knowledge, rooted in more traditional rational-positivistic inquiry as well as in personal experience and emotion, they try to reconcile the tension between the modernist and postmodernist claims to truth.
