Face of the Child as an Icon of the Victims of Dehumanization and Bestiality. At the Root of Pedagogical Concern for the Fate of the Child and the Endangered Identity of Children in a Situation of Wartime Aggression and Confrontation of Ethno-Cultural...

The word “child” and the images depicting children and childhood in the context of acts of aggression, war and crime, in a situation of immense suffering, vividly show the processes of dehumanisation taking place and the acts of bestiality of wartime. For pedagogy, the wartime experience of children poses a particular challenge. Pedagogy is burdened with the duty to care especially for the fate of the child experiencing the horrors of war. It is never enough to emphasise that although the issue of concern for the fate of the child in a situation of wartime aggression is imposed by reality itself, it is a reality that, as ethical sensitivity suggests, should not be. One cannot succumb to stupefaction or indifference in reading the great numbers and the ever-increasing number of children experiencing the dangers and sufferings of war. It is necessary – in a pedagogical perspective saturated with axiology and ethics – to see the Face of the Child as an icon of the victims of dehumanisation and bestiality, which appeals to the consciences of people of good will to concretise and intensify pedagogical concern for the fate of the child and for the endangered identity of children in a situation of wartime aggression and confrontation of ethno-cultural differences. The current pedagogical challenge is to move towards a pedagogically deepened reading of what is written in the wounded or scarred Face of the Child as an icon of the victims of the brutality, dehumanisation and bestiality of wartime. It is important to draw attention to the features of children as the smallest, weakest and most vulnerable people – people who are quite defenceless – in the confrontation imposed on them with the barbarity and bestiality of wartime, which is unfortunately being experienced today by Ukrainian children, and it is their faces that are becoming the icons of the victims of dehumanisation and bestiality. The fate of the children of the war poses a current research and practical challenge also in the research field of history (including the history of education and the history of care institutions). Past – but not fully researched and described – crimes against children are also repeated in the 20th and 21st centuries. Therefore, the historical recognition of, among others, the Nazi genocide of children is essential for a better understanding of the current dramatic situation of the children of war. Special attention in the article is given to Ukrainian children of war who are migrants or deported. If a National Day for Polish Children of War has been established in Poland (as a state holiday “in tribute to the Polish Children of War”), an initiative should also be taken in Ukraine to establish a “National Day for Ukrainian Children of War”. This could be a joint Ukrainian-Polish initiative of academic circles, especially educators. The second postulate includes the creation of a “Virtual Network (Centre) for Children of War Documentation and Research” as a “space” for interdisciplinary and systematic scientific debate and information exchange in cooperation between Polish, Ukrainian and other countries’ academic centres, organising cyclical scientific seminars also in connection with the National Day of Polish Children of War, seminars with both theoretical and practical orientation (e.g. on education and readaptation of children of war).

THE CURRENT STATE AND WAYS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF TRAINING OF SPECIALISTS IN THE SPECIALTY "ECOLOGY" AT POLTAVA V.G. KOROLENKO NATIONAL PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY

The article deals with the state of higher environmental education at V.G. Korolenko Poltava National Pedagogical University. The stages of formation of the (bachelor's) level of higher education in the specialty 101 "Ecology" are highlighted. The priority directions of professional development of teachers of natural sciences are analyzed. The ways to improve the quality of training of environmental specialists at the Poltava V.G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University are considered. It has been found that the university creates and provides mechanisms for comprehensive educational, organizational, informational, advisory and social support for students during their studies. Communication and support for students of the educational program is carried out at the following main levels: higher education student ‒ teachers; curators; university services; student self-government bodies. Communication is carried out directly (communication during classroom classes, in the framework of writing term papers and qualification papers; in the preparation of various events, etc.) and indirectly (providing access to educational and information materials on the University's web resources; access to the library repository; creating groups in social networks, etc.). This structure of communication between the participants of the educational process allows for the implementation of educational and informational (exchange of educational, scientific, educational and methodological information; transfer of socially significant norms and values), organizational (coordination of joint actions, feedback between the subjects of interaction), advisory (clarification of certain issues arising within the educational process) and social (providing support, motivating students) functions.

Trading in the era of carbon standards: how can trade, standard setting, and climate regimes cooperate?

Abstract Regulatory cooperation is indispensable for increasing the quality of carbon-related product regulations and standards (CPRS), reducing trade tensions over them, facilitating their alignment, and, eventually, promoting the convergence of different national emission reduction levels towards a universal carbon price. In this article, we explore how trade and trade-related arrangements and institutions can be used to intensify regulatory cooperation on CPRS. We focus on the following questions: when, where, and how does regulatory cooperation on CPRS take place within the international trading system, and what are the ways to strengthen regulatory cooperation on CPRS? While admitting the key role of market forces and the large market factor in the alignment of carbon standards, we argue that this de facto trade-driven alignment requires a steering from state-to-state regulatory cooperation, as well as cooperation of government agencies with private certification schemes in helping producers, especially from developing countries, to comply. Moreover, the potential for more systematic collaboration between the multilateral institutions for climate change and trade should be explored. This could include the establishment of a joint UNFCCC–WTO forum for the exchange of policy-relevant technical and scientific information on key issues surrounding CPRS and consolidation of the relevant database.

NUCLEAR AND RADIOLOGICAL DATA AVAILABLE IN THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY (IAEA) DATABASES

Having access to relevant data is essential for ensuring the quality and outreach of research work. In the context of the nuclear field, access to information and data facilitates competence building, long-term professional development, research, and information dissemination. Potential users of nuclear information resources come from different domains: scientists, experts, students, and the public. One of the main roles of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is to ensure and promote peaceful uses of atomic energy worldwide. Through their activities, the IAEA strongly encourages the exchange of scientific and technical information. This paper presents an overview of different nuclear and radiological data available in several International Atomic Energy Agency databases. All data is available free of charge for educational and informational use. A summary of information is given for each database presented on the content, access options, copyright, acknowledgement, and dissemination of the available information. A concise summary of this various data might help in capacity building, as well as encourage research and information sharing between different stakeholders in the field.

ИНСТИТУЦИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ТРАНСФОРМАЦИИ В СФЕРЕ НАУКИ И ФИНАНСИРОВАНИЕ НАУЧНЫХ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЙ И РАЗРАБОТОК В РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ

In the context of increasing geopolitical tension, the most important priority for the national economic security of the Russian Federation has become the intensification of scientific and technological development, based on the country's internal potential. The study purpose to consider current trends in institutional transformations in the field of science and, taking into account the peculiarities of science financing existing in this country, the possibilities for implementing these trends in the Russian Federation. An analysis of the global ratings of economies innovativeness, the R&D costs of developed countries and the BRICS countries, as well as Russian statistics, shows that a critical problem for Russian science is the financial support of research and development, especially for civilian purposes. Institutions capable to provide sources for science funding, alternative to budgetary sources, have not been formed on the required scale. The theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in substantiating the conclusion that the solution of urgent tasks of the innovative development of the Russian economy requires the budget policy revision in order to increase R&D funding. Taking into account the existing global trends in the transformation of scientific institutions, the priority areas for funding should be: the better equipping research centers, and institutions organizing the scientific information exchange between researchers based on digital technologies.
