Tutoring students with disabilities at the university (La tutorización de los estudiantes con discapacidad en la universidad)

ABSTRACTUniversity is a place of knowledge and education that is highly appropriate for easing the transition into society and the labour world in a highly technical, specialized society that needs the full involvement of everyone. Our objective is to explore the role that tutoring students with disabilities at university plays in the process towards an inclusive university. Tutoring during admission and continuation at university can facilitate the transition from the paradigm of integration to the paradigm of inclusion, allowing students their inalienable right to belong to the group and not be excluded because of their disability. It is also essential in achieving the objectives inherent to universities and attaining more normalized societies. The incorporation of students with disabilities at university, even if they account for a small percentage of students, is irreversible, positive and on the upswing thanks to the efforts from institutional, academic and associative spheres. The resistance to inclusive universities may mostly come from erroneous conceptualizations and attitudes more than from objective conditions (norms, structures, economic resources, etc.) and explicit discriminatory processes.

Gegenwartsbewältigung [Overcoming the Present

Author(s): Czollek, Max; Cho-Polizzi, Jon | Abstract: I’m used to being solicited as a Jewish author. Or as I prefer to call it: a Jew-author. And now I’m already in the thick of things. Because in this text, I’ll be investigating how normalized understandings of belonging and the return of rightwing thought are intertwined. I contend that these understandings are manifest in the demand for integration whose all-but-universal presence is the reason I describe this as an integration paradigm. And I’d like to explain why I believe that Gegenwartsbewaltigung [overcoming the present][1] is an appropriate counterstrategy. This text, then, is a kind of assembly kit for the construction of an alternative to the integration paradigm. But it’s up to you, dear reader, to make something out of it.[1] A play on the much-lauded German (World War 2-related) memory culture of “overcoming / coming to terms with the past” [Vergangenheitsbewaltigung].

ОСНОВНЫЕ КОНЦЕПЦИИ ЗАРУБЕЖНОГО ФИЛОСОФСКОГО РОССИЕВЕДЕНИЯ

This article is devoted to the presentation of the views of foreign philosophers on the problem of spiritual identity and national identity of Russia. The factors that influenced the formation of the worldview of thinkers, historical conditions, as well as identified theoretical, conceptual sources of authors, representatives of foreign philosophy are characterized. The concepts of spiritual identity and national identity of Russia in the works of foreign philosophers are analyzed.The works of the most famous contemporary foreign authors, who primarily develop socio-philosophical and philosophical-political aspects of the Russian national identity, are examined: Z. Brzezinski, R. Pipes, J. P. Scanlan, A. Toynbee, F. Fukuyama, S. Huntington.An analysis of the concepts of Western philosophical Russian studies shows that the key tendency of modern foreign doctrines about Russia is a fundamental refusal to reveal the moment of universality of the idea of Russia. The very need for philosophy, i.e. in the logic and dialectics of the history of Russia is considered not from the standpoint of the reasonable necessity of the concept, but from the point of view of the abstract rational randomness of the empirical phenomena of the historical existence of Russian society and state. The author comes to the conclusion that all the special concepts of the idea of Russia contain a dialectical contradiction and can remove it only in its own logical selfdenial. The latter should become the beginning of a reasonable and integral paradigm of the philosophical understanding of Russia in world history.

Applying multiple frameworks to establish effective virtual collaborative teams in academia: a review and recommendations

ABSTRACT Recently, academic health professionals have been increasing collaboration with peers at a distance for activities such as research, scholarship, and faculty development. Novel virtual technologies enable academic professional teams to overcome time and distance barriers to facilitate collaboration, but little research is available to guide academicians on how to effectively organize and manage virtual collaborative teams using these technologies. Based upon a literature review and six years of experience as a virtual collaborative team, the authors use Boyer’s Scholarship of Integration paradigm to identify and critique four models for virtual collaboration. The literature search devised from the four identified models found references that had a theoretical foundation for peer virtual collaboration and have been adopted in some professional context. The authors present a review of this literature, describe the benefits for adapting these models to academic health profession contexts, and provide a reflective critique about the challenges for their adaptation in these contexts. They also provide a hypothetical scenario to exemplify the application of these models for health-care professionals along with important considerations and tips when forming new virtual peer collaborative teams or problem-solving teams who are not optimally functioning.

Stavovi studentske populacije srpske intelektualne dijaspore o uzrocima i posledicama fenomena "odliva mozgova" iz Srbije - pregled rezultata jednog empirijskog istraživanja

Currently unfolding before us is the process of globalization, which has led to the networking of the global society and the intensification of transnational mobility of human educational capital. In the conditions of regional and class division, the process of asymmetrical globalization is also reflected in the unequal labour exchange in the gray matter market between countries belonging to different areas of the global world system. Of course, Serbia today is also under the effect of the aforementioned process. The subjects of this paper are the global, regional and national causes and consequences of the brain drain from Serbia and the innovative-creative potential of the Serbian intellectual diaspora for the development of Serbia and the protection of its interests in the contemporary world. This research is of a multidisciplinary character - sociological-demographical, ethno-culturological and communicological. Following the dictates of the so-called integral paradigm, efforts have been made to obtain valid results for scientific conclusions through a unity of theoretical problematization and synthesis of the results derived from empirical research. The paper consists of the analysis and interpretation of the results of empirical research done on the topic of causes and consequences of the brain drain, as well as the potential of the Serbian intellectual diaspora, conducted on a two-fold sample: one part consisting of the student population of Serbia and the other of the Serbian intellectual diaspora. The focus of the research was on the beliefs of the respondents regarding the motives, causes and consequences of the brain drain happening in Serbia, as well as the motives and the possibilities for the return to the native country. The sample consists of more than 950 respondents (545 students from Serbia and 413 diaspora members). The results of the research have shown that students and members of the Serbian intellectual diaspora hold identical beliefs regarding the perception of the main cause behind the brain drain in Serbia, with both groups citing the economic underdevelopment of the country and low levels of the quality of life, with both of the aforementioned factors influencing the ability to keep cadres within the country or to encourage their return. Of course, this fact is also conditioned by, among other things, the level of Serbia's involvement in the processes of globalization, as well as by its position in the contemporary division of labour. The very end of the paper also highlights the program of possible measures and recommendations which have an action-oriented character, for the purpose of resolving this problem and creating a new policy regarding diaspora.

ПРОБЛЕМАТИКА ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ РОЗВИТКУ НАПРЯМУ РЕВЕРСИВНОЇ ЛОГІСТИКИ В УКРАЇНІ

The article is about and disclosing the features of the direction of reverse logistics in a business environment of Ukraine. It has been established that the effective use of conceptually new management methods based on the integral paradigm of reverse logistics allows for an increase in the ecological and economic efficiency of production. The article studies the essence, objectives, functions and key principles of reverse logistics. It was found that the reverse logistics – is a system of logistics management and complex logistics business processes related to planning, organization, analysis and control of the movement of inverse material, information and financial flows from the consumer to the supplier (manufacturer). The functions of reverse logistics are highlighted, including: marketing, analytical and information function, control, distribution, sorting, placement, the function of restoring the value of returned objects, the function of recycling, processing products, packaging, are not subject to further resale or reuse, ecological optimization function, organization function product recall. The stages of effective control of reverse (reverse) flows in conditions are considered. The problems of managing reverse logistic business processes in the context of greening the economic environment are systematized. The directions of increasing the efficiency of reverse logistics management have been substantiated, including stimulating the continuous improvement of the reverse flow by standardizing the processes of reverse movement of material flows, optimizing time parameters, transport costs, etc..; development and improvement of supply chain management based on modern information technologies; improving communication processes in inverse motion system material flows. The methodological basis of the research is general scientific and special methods, theoretical provisions of modern economic theory, tools for abstract-logical generalization, and a logistic approach. Prospects for further research are in the development of tools and rational models for making managerial decisions to manage reverse flows in the system of logistics business processes.

Integrated programming in national development

This paper focuses on the premises underlying the legal concept of the integrated development planning model. The author draws attention to external exigencies (resulting from EU policies and the provisions of EU legislation), as well as internal (national) circumstances which need to be taken into account when devising an integrated model for planning. It is underscored that an integrated approach means concentrating action geared towards the accomplishment of strategic development goals that constitute major objectives both for all entities of public authority in the country, that is, governmental and self-governmental tiers, as well as for social and economic partners. Also, the author highlights that an appropriately constructed mechanism of the integrated approach in national development programming should rely on integrating state efforts in the domain of strategic programming for development policy with horizontal and sectoral planning. The paper thus outlines the components of the legal mechanism of development-related programming that are intended to serve the formulation of the integrated approach as model solutions. The suggestions and conclusions advanced in the paper may contribute to an integrated paradigm of development programming that, when implemented, will make it possible to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the actions undertaken by public administration.

A INTEGRAÇÃO E INCLUSÃO DE CRIANÇAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA NAS ESCOLAS SOB O VIÉS DOS OBJETIVOS DO DESENVLOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL DA ONU

Na presente revisão de literatura buscou-se conceitos e reflexões à luz da Agenda 2030 e seus Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), utilizando a análise crítica de autores renomados e apoiado pelas legislações educacionais, visando soluções para incluir crianças com deficiência no ambiente regular de ensino. Utilizou-se o método de pesquisa qualitativa à artigos e publicações nas plataformas Google Scholar e Scielo, tendo como parâmetro a expertise de autores que permitisse entender, explicar, debater e refletir as diversas concepções sobre um tema de tamanha relevância. Buscando incentivar debates que fomente novas perspectivas aos pesquisadores e agentes da educação, levantou-se as dificuldades, o tratamento indigno recebido pelas pessoas com deficiência ao longo da história e que, ainda persiste em nossos dias. A presente pesquisa tem o objetivo de apresentar a diferença entre os paradigmas da integração e da inclusão nas escolas de ensino de alunos com deficiência, verificando em especial se o ODS 4 vem sendo observado. As expressões similares (integração – inclusão), contudo possuem concepções conceituais e práticas distintas. Conclui-se ser necessário que as autoridades públicas possibilitem investimento, estratégias educacionais, incentivo para a formação continuada da equipe multidisciplinar, assim como apoio às escolas. A mudança atitudinal dos atores do sistema de ensino é imprescindível para que a inclusão de crianças com deficiências no ambiente escolar seja plena, possibilitando enfim o surgimento de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária.

Institutional Possibilities and Limits of Professional Self-Realisation of Researchers under the Innovative Restructuring of Russian Science

Introduction. At a time of global economic, social, cultural and political change, it is particularly important to monitor the sustainability of socially important institutions in rapidly changing spheres. Beyond any doubt, the field of science has a special role to play in innovative transformation.The aim of the present sociological research is to establish the degree of compliance of the personal, collective and institutional levels of innovative restructuring of Russian science with the challenges of an innovative society. The consistency and integrity of functioning of these levels is one of the key conditions for the professional self-realisation of a modern scientist.Methodology and research methods. The methodological basis of the study is the integral individual-system paradigm, which considers the agent of action in the system of rules and resources, limiting the range of choice in the system. Empirical data were collected through an expert semi-formalised survey of researchers in 21 entities of the Russian Federation. The sample (N = 640) consisted of respondents engaged in technical, natural, humanitarian, social and philosophical spheres, higher education system, centres of the Russian Academy of Sciences and state management structures.Results and scientific novelty. The institutionalisation of social practices is represented as a synthesis of the field of individual intentions and rules of interaction established in the social field. At the intersection of these fields, standardised social interaction schemes are being transformed and new behaviours and actions are emerging.The present research for the first time applied a three-level model of institutionalisation of science in an innovative environment, which allowed correlating the personal, organisational and systemic factors of disclosure of the intellectual potential of the scientist. Moreover, this resulted in identifying the existing contradictions between the personal motivation of agents of scientific activity and mechanisms, which structure the work of scientific organisations and the system of indicators of their effectiveness approved by the state. The survey data demonstrated stable motivation of Russian scientists for professional self-realisation and active scientific search, based on personal responsibility, understanding of the social significance of their research, or less frequently based on the membership of a successful team. However, serious institutional barriers have been identified to optimise the working conditions of scientists. The institutional barriers include: the administrative difficulties of establishing strong professional links with production, social and power structures; the lack of opportunities to participate in global scientific discourse; the narrow functionality of scientific organisations as an intermediate link between scientists and the state; the reluctance of expert scientific community to develop the criteria and indicators of the quality of scientific activity; the non-compliance of these indicators with innovative priorities and goals, etc.Practical significance. The research results and proposals can be used to adjust the state policy of the Russian Federation and the principles of management of the organisation in accordance with the innovative priorities of the society.

Linguistic stance: An integrative paradigm for mixed methods social science

ABSTRACTThis article develops an integrative mixed methods framework grounded in stancetaking as the originary act through which qualitative interview and quantitative survey data are generated. The article examines how the basics of ‘everyday’ social stance—evaluation, positioning, and alignment within a sociocultural field—are strategically manipulated by social scientists in the twinned conditions of the interview and the survey. Relative to interview data, we demonstrate how participants link their stancetaking to wider sociocultural frames via the discursive devices of indexicality, accounting practices, and appeal to norms. Relative to survey data, we show how participants construct a ‘public’ via their engagement in the survey task, and how their stancetaking on survey items is virtually equivalent to ‘votes’ that are later aggregated to create second-order group-level stances. Mixed methods researchers then transform both qualitative and quantitative first-order stances into second-order stances that serve to describe and model social life. (Mixed methods, discourse devices, indexicality, normativity, interview, survey)

A Wirebonding Instrument for Insulated and Coaxial Wires

Abstract A tool has been developed that supports a novel microelectronic integration paradigm whereby interconnects between components are directly established by way of micro-coax wirebonds. A near term use-case of the tool is to facilitate rapid prototyping of high-bandwidth systems. When further matured, it will lead to the ability to rapidly integrate complex systems with hundreds or thousands of interconnects with minimal design time. Automatic stripping and bonding of coax wires having overall diameters between 50 to 150μm presents an array of process challenges that pose interesting demands on the material system of the wire and the bonding tool. This paper will review a micro-coax bonding system that is currently in development at Draper which is able to strip, feed and bond micro coax wire. The system utilizes a combination of electric-flame-off (EFO) and thermal reflow to strip outer metal shielding and polymer dielectric layers respectively. It leverages a rotary wire feed mechanism to precisely control wire position so that pre-determined wire-lengths can be established. Progress in design of the wires, tooling and software control architecture are reviewed.

Edukacja dorosłych jako narzędzie inkluzji migrantów – propozycja zmiany podejścia

Adult education as an element of migrants’ integration – proposal of approach shift. In this article, I discuss the current approach to the education of adult migrants, which is rarely rooted in an andragogical perspective. To fill this gap, after pointing out its weaknesses, I propose a new paradigm of integration embedded in the traditions and concepts of adult education, i.e.: transformative learning (Mezirow, 2003), experiential learning (Jarvis, 2009), situational learning (Lave, Wenger, 1991), service learning (Eyler, Giles, 1999), and biographical learning (Alheit, 2009). At the same time, I also provide specific examples of good practices from Poland and around the world that can serve as inspiration for practitioners working with migrants. In the last part of the article, I present a synthetic proposal to change the approach of working with migrants based on their empowerment, agency and local resources.

Da ambiguidade discursiva às possibilidades de ação no campo da Educação Inclusiva em Portugal

Historicamente, o atendimento de alunos com deficiências e/ou com Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE) esteve remetido à respostas amparadas em visões segregacionistas e excludentes (Freitas, 2008). Contudo, uma nova compreensão, alicerçada no reconhecimento e no respeito da diversidade, pôs no centro do debate político e acadêmico propósitos de uma Educação Inclusiva (Ainscow, 2009) requerendo das escolas e professores respostas educativas diferenciadas. Para compreender esta mudança paradigmática recorre-se a uma leitura que relaciona os modelos biomédico, social e biopsicossocial (De Marco, 2006) com os paradigmas educativos da exclusão, integração e inclusão (Sassaki, 2006). Tendo este enquadramento por base, o artigo apresenta um estudo realizado com 12 professoras que trabalham no campo da Educação Inclusiva na região do Grande Porto-Portugal. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa que teve como objetivos: identificar as concepções de Educação Inclusiva das professoras e compreender, numa relação com os Modelos Biomédico, Social e Biopsicossocial, quais as possibilidades para concretização dessa filosofia educativa no cotidiano escolar Após a coleta dos dados, que se deu por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, os discursos foram transcritos e analisados com suporte do Software Nvivo. Os resultados apontam para uma ambiguidade discursiva que se reflete não apenas nas concepções das professoras relativamente à educação inclusiva, como também, relaciona-se às práticas no campo da intervenção na escola.

Pragmatism as a Supportive Paradigm for the Mixed Research Approach: Conceptualizing the Ontological, Epistemological, and Axiological Stances of Pragmatism

The emergence of the mixed research approach has been accompanied by searching for a philosophy that legitimates mixing quantitative and qualitative methods in one research. Many researchers consider pragmatism as the most common philosophical justification for the mixed research approach; however, pragmatism is criticized as a philosophy in general and also as philosophical support for the mixed research approach especially for not addressing the differing assumptions of the quantitative and qualitative paradigms. Trying to overcome this criticism, the current research is mainly concerned with presenting pragmatism as a coherent, integrated paradigm by conceptualizing its ontological, epistemological and axiological stances. The researcher coins three new terminologies: the reality cycle, the double-faced knowledge, and the necessary bias principle. These philosophical stances combine both the quantitative and qualitative paradigms' points of view as two integrated, not conflicting philosophies.

Интеграционная парадигма в исследовании системы организационной мотивации и в практике мотивационной работы

The article develops and elaborates the ideas expressed by the author in the previous issue of the magazine; these ones are about the need for rethinking of the theory and practice of motivational work in light of the new, integrative paradigm that meets the requirements of a modern information society at its current digital stage of development. It is shown that the new paradigm of motivation involves a shift from the primarily subject-object review of the critical factors that infl uence the process of determination of organizational behavior to the integrative system analysis and accounting of all phenomena, processes and all employees activities including the managerial and performing ones, that directly determine the behavior of employees of organization in their subject-subject interaction. The main imperatives of integration paradigm are characterized. In the light of this paradigm the new understanding of motivation system of employees is justifi ed, it allows encompassing the main factors that directly determine the behavior of employees, including their destructive activities, in their holistic interaction. The principal elements of motivation system are identifi ed, its bipolar and polystructural nature, its organizational and social environment is justifi ed. On the basis of the conducted analysis the general recommendations for enhancing the eff ectiveness of motivational work and for ensuring its compliance with the requirements of the modern society are off ered.

The Phenomenonвласть(‘power’) as a Part of Russian Phraseosemantic Worldview

SummaryThe article is devoted to the complex analysis on the phenomenonвласть(‘power’) as a part of the Russian phraseological worldview. The most important social conscience spheres of the phenomenonвластьare defined: politics, economics, sociology, psychology and philosophy. Accordingly, the five most significant micro-concepts, i. e. the particular cognitive fields (‘power in politics’, ‘power in economics’, ‘power in society’, ‘power in psychology’, ‘power in philosophy’) as well as macroconcept (the common cognitive field)властьare described; phraseological units objectifying this phenomenon are singled out; the phraseosemantic fieldвластьis built on the basis of meaningfulness of certain semantic features for the phenomenon characterization and for the common understanding of the conceptвластьin the Russian phraseology; the integral and differentiating features of the cognitive and phraseosemantic fields are revealed.The research is based on both linguistic data and on material from politics, economics, sociology, psychology, philosophy and cultural studies. Thus, the issues analyzed in the article are viewed in terms of the contemporary integral paradigm of cross-disciplinary scientific knowledge. As a result, the syncretic essence of the conceptвластьthat includes two opposite and incompatible principlesгосподство(‘supremacy’) andподчинение(‘submission’) are brought out. The national and cultural specificity of the Russian phraseosemantic worldview and the peculiarities of the Russian linguistic society in the aspect of the phenomenonвласть(‘power’) are established.

The Direction of Industry: A Literature Review on Industry 4.0

AbstractWith the rapid success of the digital enterprises in the 21st Century, industrial manufacturing is expected to be approaching the fourth industrial revolution, coined Industry 4.0 (I4.0). The instrumental technology that will drive this evolution is the integration of the physical and digital factory into one cyber physical system. There is consensus among academics and industry alike that there will be an integral paradigm shift in how offerings will be developed and manufactured. While there is much confidence that the future factory will have unprecedented capabilities to satisfy complex customer demands, there is little agreement on how individual organisations can utilise these trends. This paper presents a literature review identifying reoccurring themes and trends of I4.0 and their expected effect on future manufacturing. Central characteristics, challenges and opportunities are identified and discussed. The findings can provide support in developing actionable strategies for industry to direct I4.0 endeavours.

Interaction Between Religion and Philosophy

The relationship between religion and philosophy, in the view of experts, has similarities as well as differences. Religion and philosophy in grasping the truth have several similarities and differences. In religion, true truth must be guided by revelation or belief. The use of reason is only to enrich the analysis of truth. Whereas in philosophy, truth must be approached using reason through a process of reasoning. Although the truth presented by religion may be similar to the truth achieved by philosophy, religion still cannot be equated with philosophy. This difference is due to a different perspective. This article will focus on the relationship between religion and philosophy. There are several paradigms that are presented about the relationship of religion and philosophy including paradigms of contrast, subordinative, and integralistic. This paper will take the position of integrative paradigm.

Bürger zweiter Klasse im Einwanderungsland?

While the technical details of immigration and asylum legislation remain the domain of a comparatively narrow field of experts, debates about nationality law often cause widespread attention within domestic academic circles. The latest reform was a case in point: in 2019, the government proposed depriving terrorist fighters of German nationality (provided that they have another passport) and suggested prohibiting the naturalisation of those with several spouses, thereby triggering a heated debate among experts. This contribution sets off to embed the legal-doctrinal analysis into a broader reflection on the role of nationality law as a forum for and vehicle of broader societal debates about the collective identity of Germans in the early 21st century. The article scrutinises this double function from an interdisciplinary perspective and shows that it is entrenched in the history of German nationality law with the extensive reform of 1999 as its climax. By contrast, the latest changes do not bring about a major conceptual or practical shift, since they continue earlier developments. Depriving terrorist fighters of the German passport adapts an established ground for the loss of nationality of those serving in foreign armies to the international context of asymmetric warfare; blocking the naturalisation of foreigners with several spouses reacts to a court judgment and complements several other small reform measures that have reinforced the integration paradigm within German nationality law over the past two decades. Against this background, the time may have come to disentangle nationality law from broader debates about collective identity at a time when many former immigrants have a German passport anyway. Such reconstruction of the national self-image beyond naturalisation may be addressed analytically from the standpoint of the citizenship paradigm, which remains normatively contested, but transcends technical focus of immigration, asylum and nationality legislation.

Toward Theology of Science: Philosophical Reflection On The Development Of Religion-Based Science

The relationship between science and religion is one of the issues that has not been resolved completely until now. Although some universities in Indonesia and even Malaysia have developed academic traditions with the paradigm of integration of science, they still leave a fundamental problem related to aspects of scientific science developed with religion. To meet scientific and objective criteria, science must avoid the element of subjectivity of scientists, and eliminate the intersubjectivity of tradition and culture. This paper will analyze, especially to emphasize the position of philosophy in the development of religion-based science, as well as reflection for the development of philosophical sciences. This paper will discuss two main problems, the investigation of the religious dimension for science, and the role of religion-based science development for the development of philosophical sciences. The study found that in addition to the theoretical framework and scientific paradigm, there is one more thing that cannot be left behind in the process of developing science, namely the theological assumptions or theological dimensions of science. So that the basis of the development of science not only consists of theories and paradigms, but also theological assumptions. This article concludes that the theological dimension allows for the development of religion-based science.
