Ранний старт и короткая жизнь одного энтомолога (к 110-летию Андрея Андреевича Рихтера)

At the end of 2019 an old collection of insects was found in the Zoological Museum of Saratov State University. It was collected in the vicinity of Saratov, in the Lower Volga region, as well as in the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia, by young Andrey A. Richter while he was studying at school and Saratov University (1926–1930). The collection (185 specimens) was not processed, with most insects left unidentified. Nevertheless, it has been well preserved. Its examination has already produced first results important for better understanding of A. A. Richter biography. Further species identification may reveal the entomofauna composition not yet affected by environmental changes at the time, hence facilitating ecological research in the area. Collector – Andrey Andreevich Richter (1911–1950), prominent entomologist, Doctor of Biological Sciences (1945), professor, head of the coleopterology laboratory at the Institute of Zoology, Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1938–1939 he was arrested and imprisoned on false allegations. His life and scientific career were cut short by terminal illness at the age of 39. His main studies were focused on elytral venation and its role in phylogenetics, and on the detailed jewel beetles taxonomy (Buprestidae). The article is based on the documents and correspondence from Russian state archives, as well as from Richter family archive.

A word about . . . Claude Broach, pastoral ecumenical activist

This article explores the life and ministerial career of Claude U. Broach (1913–1997), who served as the pastor of St. John’s Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, from 1944 through 1974 and in retirement served as the first full-time director of the Wake Forest University-Belmont Abbey College Ecumenical Institute. After detailing various aspects of Broach’s ministry as a pastoral ecumenical activist, the article identifies six features of Broach’s ecumenical activism that others can emulate today: (1) an emphasis on developing ecumenical relationships with the tradition with the greatest degree of difference from the Baptist tradition, the Catholic Church; (2) dialogue with Judaism as an aspect of ecumenical relations rather than inter-religious relations; (3) the development of personal relationships with Christians from other traditions; (4) the quest for Christian unity as the obligation of every believer; (5) receptive ecumenism, rather than the merger of denominations, as the path to the ecumenical future; and (6) the skillful use of media connections to serve as a public ecumenical theologian.

A Cohort Analysis on the Career Life Cycles of Players of the LPGA of Japan Tour.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the patterns of professional career paths of the players of the Ladies Professional Golf Association of Japan (JLPGA) Tour. Using the athletes’ professional career life cycle model as the theoretical framework, this study will analyze the career development of elite players of the JLPGA from their rookie year to the point of retirement. The year of each JLPGA tournament win by selected players will be examined for the players’ entire careers. The players’ money ranking for each year of their careers is also analyzed to determine the stages of the players’ career life cycles. The tournament win span, i.e., the number of years between a player’s first and last JLPGA tournament win, will be computed. The career life cycles of players of different cohorts will be compared to determine whether or not there was any transformation in the structure of career stages of the players over time. The career development patterns of Japanese-born players will be compared with those of the international players of the JLPGA.

Integration of Investigative Science Process Skills Teaching Strategy on Students’ Achievement at Secondary School Level Physics in Embu County, Kenya

One of the challenges facing Kenya in the teaching of Physics in secondary schools is how to make learners acquire knowledge, build up capacity for critical thinking in solving problems in any situation and make an effort to enable them understand the application of content in real life situations and careers. Based on this challenge, the present study was designed to determine the effect of investigative science process skill teaching strategy on students’ achievement in Physics. The study was guided by the following objectives: To determine students’ achievement in school physics when using Investigative Science Process Skill (ISPS) teaching strategy. Theoretical framework of the study was based on constructivist theories of learning. Quasi- Experimental design was used. The research was carried out in eight schools in Embu County. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select participating schools, then simple random sampling was used to select and assign participating schools in experimental and control group. The sample was form three students. Research instrument used was: Physics Achievement Test (PAT) on the topic of Electricity (II). The research instrument was pilot-tested for validity and reliability. The reliability coefficient was calculated using Kunder-Richardson (KR-Formula20). A coefficient value of 0.768 was considered suitable for reliability of the instrument. Data was analysed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and chi-square and t-test. Hypotheses was tested at alpha (?) value of 0 .05 level of significance using a computer Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows. The findings of the study demonstrated that ISPS enhanced academic achievement in learning. It is hoped that the results of the study provide useful information to Physics teachers, curriculum developers, Quality Assurance and Standards Officer (QASO) and teacher-trainers.

Gender, Transnational Migration, and Athletic Career Development: the Case of Korean Players on the LPGA of Japan Tour.

Ku Ok-hee became the first ever Korean female golfer to win a tournament on the LPGA of Japan Tour (JLPGA Tour) by her victory in the Kibun Ladies Classic on March 31, 1985. Since then, Korean players as a group have amassed 228 victories on the JLPGA Tour by the end of the 2019 season. Although this has been a truly remarkable accomplishment in the history of international sports, no systematic investigation has been conducted thus far about the factors that contributed to the success of Korean women players on the JLPGA Tour. The primary purpose of this study is to analyze the rise and fall of the Korean players on the JLPGA Tour from the perspective of their career life cycles. More specifically, this study will apply the career life cycle model to the career pathways of the players on the tour. Each individual player’s career history on the Korean LPGA Tour before the player’s transnational migration to the JLPGA Tour will be examined to ascertain whether or not the player’s pre-migration record is a reliable predictor of the post-migration performance on the JLPGA Tour. The number of tournament victories of each of the Korean players during the player’s entire career on the JLPGA Tour will be reviewed. The all-time history of each individual player’s money ranking on the tour will be investigated for both the active and the retired players. A cohort analysis method is used in investigating the tournament wins and money ranking history of the players by comparing the tournament win records and the all-time money rankings on the basis of the entry cohort to the JLPGA Tour.

Analýza generačních odlišností na pracovišti v České republice

The issue of multi-generational management in the workplace is one of the core areas for effective management of organisations. Not only due to demographic developments in many developed countries, but also to changes in the understanding of individuals' career lives, more generations interact in workplaces, and situations where subordinates reach a lower age within organisational structures than their superiors are no exception. This is one of the reasons for changing the approach to the issue of age diversity, where research in this field has in the past focused mainly on the issue of older workers (50-55 and over). Currently, the focus of scientific research, as well as business practice, is on the understanding of age diversity in personnel from the perspective of individual generations. The world's scientific knowledge to date is focused primarily onthe characteristics of individual generations and their comparison with each other. The aim of this paper is to analyse generational differences in the workplace in the conditions of the Czech Republic. Differences are statistically tested by data dependency on a sample of 214 workers who, according to their date of birth, are part of one of the economically active generations: Baby Boomers, X, Y and Z. The results of the analyses show that, for parts of the areas examined in relation to business practice, the dependence of attitudes and opinions on individual generations can be statistically confirmed. Specifically, the areas of remuneration and benefits; content of work; atmosphere and workplace relations.

PESQUISAFORMAÇÃO NARRATIVA (AUTO)BIOGRÁFICA E A ESCRITA DE CARTAS COMO MODO DE DIZER-SER

Since narrative writing has always been accompanying my personal life and professional career. To inventory, and find the letters written by me to different recipients, in different times and formation degrees, in a movement articulated to the writing of the memorial, based in these letters like memory triggering objects, made us realize, I and my advisor, that the letters could be, at the same time objects of research study, and a rich material in the dialogue between the experiences of school daily life and the historicalpolitical-social contexts. The rereading of the letters and the memorial writing process during the first semester of the Professional Master's Degree overflowed with perspectives of continual (self)biographical narrative writing, a dialogue between memories, narratives and instituting experiences. From the theoretical-methodological point of view, the choice for a (self)biographical narrative research, which articulates the three dimensions throughout the journey: data sources, the register and also the way to produce knowledge, has been delineated as a different research form. where the initial-continuous-permanent reflexive movement shifts the emphasis from the materiality of the sources themselves and of the possible results and/or answers, to the (per)formative course of this dissertation. The paths and (mis)paths of this research-formation, the previous script, as well as the deviations, have caused the reflection in/with a re-signified practice and constituent of the teacher-people that when narratingresearching, researching-narrating, create a dialogical movement of reflection, (per)formation and constitution of identity that reveal and affirm or not, a way of being in teaching.
