Identity Transition of English Pre Service Teachers Studying at Teacher Profession Education Program

The identity transition of four prospective professional teachers while undergoing a professional development program is essential to consider. This research aims to understand the dynamics and processes that allow professional identities to develop and change. This research uses qualitative research and Schlossberg's transition model as a framework. The research participants were four prospective teachers from the Teacher Professional Education program. Data collection was carried out using the narrative inquiry method. The data analysis technique uses qualitative descriptive analysis. This study found that identity trajectories from the pre-transition period contributed to their current identity transition. Their previous change in identity was because teaching is an honorable profession with other perceived benefits, such as economic and cultural capital. In this program, prospective teachers said there was a transformation in their professional experience. The study emphasizes the importance of continuing education for prospective teachers to become professional teachers. Teacher education plays a vital role in ensuring that teachers have a strong foundation in the theory and practice of education. Qualified teachers are critical in providing effective and quality education to students, so teacher education is essential to the education system.

Formation and development of the ukrainian legislation on criminal responsibility for insulting a military serviceman

The article examines the peculiarities of the formation and development of our country's legislation on criminal responsibility for insulting a military serviceman. The application of the historical method in this case made it possible to investigate the historical conditioning of the criminalization of such a socially dangerous act as an insult to a person in general and an insult to a military serviceman in particular. The studied legal monuments of the following periods: princely period; the period when Ukrainian lands were part of the Austro-Hungarian and Russian empires; the period of the Ukrainian SSR; the period of the independent state of Ukraine before the adoption of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine and the modern period. It is emphasized that the responsibility for an insult accrues a long time in the history of the legislation of our country. It contained norms on responsibility for the insult of any person, as well as for the insult of specifically defined persons: a woman, a mother, a father, a nobleman, etc. The insult was possible both by word and by physical actions. It was determined that for the first time the responsibility for insulting a serviceman was established by the Military Ordinance of Peter the I. The mentioned ordinance recognized only an officer (a special subject) as the subject of an insult. In the future, insult of various persons were criminalized: priests; officials; policemen, military personnel and others. Article 435-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine of 2001 fixed the composition of the insult of a serviceman in this form for the first time. And although disposition of the article causes certain remarks from scientists, practical workers and representatives of civil society, it is an important step in the criminal legal protection of the right of military personnel to professional honor and dignity. The author emphasizes that the criminalization of the insult of a military serviceman meets the conditions of historical conditionality and is timely and necessary. The article also provides author's definitions of the concepts of professional honor and dignity; criminal offense and its forms.

Legal Philosophy's View of the Role of Advocate Professional Ethics as an Honorable Profession in Carrying Out Good Law Enforcement

The lawyer profession plays a crucial role in maintaining integrity and justice in the legal system. From the perspective of legal philosophy, the professional ethics of advocates is a deep and complex foundation. Several philosophical views, such as utilitarianism, deontology, and contractualism, provide a framework for understanding advocate ethics. The utilitarian view emphasizes the importance of achieving the best outcome for society as a whole, which can create ethical dilemmas when advocates are faced with controversial cases. In contrast, deontology emphasizes the moral obligations that advocates must follow, which can give rise to conflicts between obligations to clients and society. Contractualism links the ethics of advocates to the moral agreements that underlie the legal system, emphasizing their responsibility for better social change. Advocate ethics is also closely related to the concept of social justice, where advocates must ensure that the law is applied fairly, regardless of individual background. In addition, in dealing with ethical conflicts in practice, advocates must refer to the ethical principles of their profession as a guide. Advocates' ethics not only underlie their duties as legal representatives, but also involve moral considerations about how their actions may affect society as a whole. This is a very important foundation in maintaining professionalism and carrying out their role as law enforcers

Peran Peradi terhadap Advokat yang Melakukan Pelanggaran Kode Etik Profesi Advokat

Advocate profession is closely related to advocate organizations as a forum for advocates. Advocate profession is an honorable profession (officium nobile) because it devotes itself to the interests of society, not only for personal gain. One of the roles of an advocate is as a supervisor and guardian of justice. However, when viewed from the implementation and enforcement so far, it is often seen that the advocate's code of ethics is a complement that most advocates pay little attention to. Violations of the code of ethics are often committed by advocates in carrying out their profession and do not even hesitate to carry out these actions openly. If there is a violation of the Code of Ethics, the Advocate Honorary Council has the right to impose sanctions and decide to impose sanctions in accordance with the articles stipulated in the Indonesian Advocate Code of Ethics contained in Article 7 paragraph (1) of the Law on the Indonesian Advocate Code of Ethics. This research is a normative legal research group, namely legal research that uses a type of doctrinal research or also called normative juridical research (legal study research).

Judge’s Dissenting Opinion in a Criminal Proceeding: A Critical View

The idea of a judge's right to a dissenting opinion being one of the key guarantees of the principle of judicial independence is perceived by a legal community as an axiom. For this reason, the institution of a dissenting opinion extremely rarely happens to be the subject of a critical analysis in a legal science. Meanwhile, such an analysis reveals a whole complex of contradictions between the right of a judge to a dissenting opinion and certain principles of judicial proceedings, as well as the negative effect of the use of such a right by judges manifested in a decrease in the authority of justice. The purpose of the study is to clarify the reasons for granting judges in criminal proceedings the right to express a dissenting opinion and, on this basis, to decide on the expediency of preserving the relevant institution in procedural law. Achieving this goal involves solving a set of tasks related to the study of the correlation of the institution of a judge’s dissenting opinion with the principles of adversarial parties and independence of judges, the requirement of secrecy of the meeting of judges as well as the study of dissenting opinion as a tool for individualizing the figure of a judge who does not agree with the decision made in the case. A dialectical method served as the methodological basis of the study. In addition, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis and a systematic approach were used as well as special legal methods: historical-legal, legal interpretation and logical-legal interpretation. The results of the study demonstrated that a dissenting opinion is attached importance to as a means of protecting the professional honor of a judge allowing him to openly declare his disagreement with the decision. According to this approach, the opposition of two values is exposed — the professional honor of a judge and the authority of justice. Their comparison allows us to assert that the authority of justice is a priority value that cannot be sacrificed for the sake of providing the judge with the opportunity to individualize his figure. In this regard, it is concluded that it is necessary to eliminate the institution of a judge’s special opinion in procedural law.

THE HONOR AND DIGNITY OF A MILITARY PERSONNEL AS THE OBJECT OF A CRIMINAL OFFENSE PROVIDED FOR BY ART. 435-1 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF UKRAINE

Abstract: The article deals with theoretical and practical issues of criminal legal protection of professional honor and dignity of military personnel. The armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, along with other measures, required proper criminal legal protection of the rights and interests of military personnel who protect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our country. The honor and dignity of servicemen needed such protection also. The work analyzes the main philosophical, ethical and legal approaches to determining such categories as honor and dignity of a person. The author emphasizes that the honor and dignity of a military personnel is professional honor and dignity. Their definition should be based on generally accepted definitions of these concepts. It is noted that the honor and dignity of any person, including their professional component, needs criminal legal protection. Based on the study of the main approaches to the definition of these social values and subjective rights of the person, their author's definition as objects of criminal law protection is given. Their unity is emphasized, but also stated that honor and dignity have certain differences. Based on the analysis of draft laws and laws that were adopted in the relevant field, it is noted that the criminal law protection of honor and dignity of a person should exist in our country. This corresponds to all the necessary principles of criminalization of socially dangerous acts. The author supports the position regarding the recognition of social relations as the object of a criminal offense. Based on this, the professional honor and dignity of military personnel is defined as the object of a criminal offense provided for in Article 435-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Based on the analysis of judicial practice, it is concluded that in most cases, together with dishonors, guilty persons make threats against military personnel, which confirms the correctness of the legislator's approach to include dishonors together with threats as an act in this offense. In most cases, these are threats of physical violence in various forms. Attention is drawn to certain shortcomings of the legislator's actions on the supplementation of criminal liability for this offense. Namely, due to a legislator's mistake, it is not Chapter XX "Criminal offenses against peace, human security and international legal order" added with Article 435-1, but Chapter XIX of the Special Part of the Criminal Code "Criminal offenses against the established order of military service (military criminal offences)". The subject of all criminal offenses provided for in this chapter, without exception, is special. This is directly defined in Part 1 of Art. 401 of the Criminal Code ("The concept of a military criminal offense"). But the subject of this criminal offense is a general one, that is, a natural compos mentis person who has reached the age of 16. This shortcoming should be corrected.

The Envelope, Please!

The Envelope, Please! Sara Dreyfuss (bio) and Marianne Ryan (bio) Like many professions, librarianship has an array of awards and honors that recognize the efforts of its members. The American Library Association (ALA), for example, bestows some 200 awards, prizes, citations, and scholarships each year. The ALA says that the winners, chosen by juries of their colleagues and peers, "embody the best of the profession's leadership, vision, and service as well as a continued commitment to diversity, equality, education, and outreach."1 Some recognitions highlight a singular accomplishment of the recipient or recipients; others can be better described as lifetime achievement awards, designed to acknowledge one's contributions across a storied career. The association hands out so many prizes that Blaise Cronin once wrote, "Pay your dues, stay sober, keep your hand out of the till, and you should get some kind of ALA award before the sun sets on your career."2 We cite this observation not to diminish the worthiness of these awards but rather to evince that the association is broadly committed to celebrating members of the library profession. State library groups, other library organizations, and editorial boards also confer awards to acknowledge the achievements of exceptional librarians. Among them is the Berkeley Division of the Librarians Association of the University of California, which bestows an annual Distinguished Librarian Award.3 Library Journal grants a Librarian of the Year Award to "honor a professional librarian for outstanding achievement and accomplishments reflecting the loftiest service goals of the library profession."4 Library Journal also publishes an annual list of Movers and Shakers, "a group of individuals who are moving the library field forward as a profession."5 The Importance of Recognition Professional awards and honors are especially significant for a field like librarianship, where it can be difficult to assess accomplishments and successes. Few librarians compile a win-loss record, a vote total, or other metrics by which to measure their achievements. Yet being liked and respected by others is a strong desire in many of us and essential for most people's happiness. William James wrote to his students at Radcliffe College, "The deepest principle of Human Nature is the craving to be appreciated."6 If people are recognized, they feel not only happier but also more motivated. Peer recognition, [End Page 267] the appreciation of colleagues for a job well done, is especially meaningful. It brings an increased level of pride and validation and shows that people in your field have noticed your efforts and contributions. Beyond personal gratification, awards and honors can be important professionally. For example, candidates for promotion or tenure at most educational institutions are expected to show proof of recognition for their work. Such evidence might include journal publications, conference proceedings, and academic or professional honors and awards. Awards and honors also help a profession to grow and advance. They can boost confidence, spark a career, and motivate others to improve their own performance. Awards enable those inside and outside the profession to see what has been achieved and what its members value. The lives and accomplishments of award winners serve as role models and provide a road map to success. Mentoring and networking may occur among winners, creating long-lasting professional relationships and providing new opportunities to give back to the profession. The portal Best Article Award An editorial reflecting upon the first 20 years of portal: Libraries and the Academy notes that that the journal was launched when "a band of librarian-scholars decided to buck the existing journal publishing system to create something different and better." One goal of the fledgling journal was "to provide a more inviting and supportive environment for authors."7 In keeping with that goal, portal decided to honor the author of the best article appearing in its pages each year. The portal Editorial Board announced the first award for best article of the year in 2005.8 The Process of Choosing the Best Article The process of choosing the best article begins each year in November, after release of the final issue of the volume under consideration. portal's editor appoints a Best Article Award Committee comprised of members of the portal Editorial...

The doctor and his patients: the intergenerational dispute concerning the ideal physician, the Czech Lands 1840s-1890s

In the second half of the 19th century, the professionalization of the medical field took place in the Czech Lands, then part of Austria-Hungary. The physicians’ aim was to eliminate their rivals such as charlatans, folk healers, and other alternative healers, but they also strove to regulate competition among colleagues. In this period, which can be described as a period of therapeutic ni- hilism, a new generation of physicians emerged in the Czech Lands who tried to promote and apply new medical knowledge to everyday practice in the medical market. In practice, however, it was very hard for this innovative group of young medics to defend their scientific approach and their professional honor from the demands of patients, on whose monetary reward they and their families depen- ded. The article argues that there was a dispute between the older and younger generation of physicians over the ideal of the physician and his honor. This hy- pothesis is based on a discursive analysis of medical manuals for laymen penned mostly by physicians, so-called «house physicians», and of articles in professional journals published by local physicians in the Czech language. The conflict is illus-trated by examples of bloodletting and drug prescriptions.

Teacher Training Needs and their Influencing Factors: A Case Study of 13 Chinese Border School Teachers

Teacher training is not only the way to improve the quality of teachers in China's border areas, but also one of the collaborative paths to promote the high-quality development of regional education. Teacher training needs to provide a practical reference for specific service teacher training. Through conducting semi-structured, in-depth interviews, and using the grounded-theory three-level coding method for discourse analysis, this study explores teacher training needs and their influencing factors and how such factors influenced teacher learning and the development of teaching communities in border areas, in China. In the coding process, the researchers used MAXQDA (20.4.0) for auxiliary analysis. This work has constructed a model of teacher training needs and its influencing factors. Teacher training needs in border areas include training format, training content, training intensity, training opportunities, and training practicality. The factors include subjective factors, organizational development, institutional environmental factors, and field culture factors. According to the results of the model analysis, we put forward these optimization strategies: provide special mental health courses and counseling services for border teachers; carry out school-based training to form teachers' learning community; plan special training and create an international influence of border education, which would enhance teachers’ sense of professional honor and improve the perception threshold of achievement.

The moral education of normal students is an important measure to improve moral quality of teachers in new era, and core of moral education is to improve cognition level of teachers' morality.

Dialectic of Honor and Reputation. On Limits of Reputation Management Efficiency

The article justifies the provision that reputational management passes by problems related to the personal meanings of a subject conducting a specific professional activity. It is shown that the category of honor is of particular importance for the expression of this issue. Professional honor in decision-making involves bringing to the fore not the desire to preserve a reputation, but the attitude to preserve personal dignity, accompanied by the willingness to take responsibility for decisions made in critical situations. This willingness is rooted in the fundamental worldviews of the personality that shape its orientation. It is noted that professional honor is a much stronger motivating factor than the desire to maintain a reputation, it determines the attitude to the profession, the desire and willingness to improve in it.

The legacy of Saint Luke (Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky) to medical sciences

Saint Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol and Crimea (1877‒1961), was born Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky in Kerch, Crimea. He served as an outstanding physician and Academic Professor of Topographic Anatomy and Operative Surgery at Medical School of Tashkent University. He worked extensively on the fields of surgery, regional anesthesia, pyogenic infections, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, otorhinolaryngology, gynecology, urology, and dentistry, often under difficult circumstances. He performed a wide variety of operations, from minor outpatient procedures to extremely complicated ones, followed by extensive inpatient management and treatment of ailing individuals. He published numerous research articles and books. His most acclaimed monograph entitled “Essays on the surgery of pyogenic infections” (“Sketches of purulent surgery”), focused on the broad field of surgery with special reference to the pyogenic infections and served as a reference tool and guide book for the next generations of physicians. The Stalin Prize was the highest professional honor awarded to Valentin Felixovich Voyno-Yasenetsky by the Soviet state in recognition of his contribution to science. Voyno-Yasenetsky was a blessed physician who had a major influence on both patients and colleagues, due to his fundamental ethical principles and values based on Christian beliefs. His life and scientific work have been an example of the practical unity of scientific truth and religious faith. He was ordained to the diaconate and priesthood, until he elevated to the ranks of Bishop and Archbishop. He was arrested and subsequently exiled for his religious beliefs and his glorification by the Orthodox Church as Saint Luke was held in Russia in 2000, as a recognition of God’s holiness manifesting in his life. Saint Luke received an honorable place in the history of Medicine and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The present study aims to highlight key elements of his life and his scientific contributions.
