(De)politicization through safetization? Decision-making on nuclear waste management in Finland and France

Abstract. While both Finland and France are seen as forerunners in final disposal of nuclear waste, there are striking differences between the countries in public and policy discussion on the safety of the project. This paper studies safety-related arguments in national-level decision-making on final disposal of nuclear waste in Finland and France, using selected parliamentary documents as the empirical material. The paper adopts safetization in decision-making on nuclear waste management as its central concept. By safetization we refer to a process whereby, first, images of risks and uncertainties are either created or explained away to give assurance of safety. Second, current practices are normalized, or various – sometimes even exceptional – measures are demanded in order to change current practices and thereby solve the issue and ensure safety. Thus, prevailing views of safety can be supported to build further trust and confidence or alternatively challenged in order to achieve more robust understanding regarding the issue. As a result of safetization, political power will be re-distributed between key actor groups such as implementers, regulators, and politicians. Our empirical analysis explores such processes whereby members of parliament frame, politicize, and depoliticize safety. We employ four data corpuses, two from both case-study countries. The Finnish data consist of the minutes of two plenary sessions of the Finnish Parliament. The first, held in 2001, concerned the Council of State Decision-in-Principle on Posiva's application for the construction of a spent nuclear fuel disposal facility, whereas the second, in 2015, discussed the Statement by the Prime Minister on Nuclear Waste Management Research and Safety Assessment. The French data consist of the debates in preparation for two specific acts on nuclear waste: the first (from 2006) on the framework law on the management of radioactive material and waste and the second (from 2016) on the law defining the conditions for the creation of a reversible deep geological facility for high-level waste (HLW) disposal. The focus of the analysis is on the identification of frames and four frame functions. The functions are as follows. (1) Definition of a situation, issue, or problem related to final disposal. (2) Diagnosis of causes or reasons for the situation as it is portrayed in the data or in a speech. (3) Evaluation or judgement concerning the situation and possibly the actors involved. (4) Suggested course of action. We argue that safety is not only an outcome of scientific research and technical competence, but that efforts to ensure safety also include framing of safetization and de-safetization in political and public debate. Research on energy policy should integrate safetization as a key topic alongside issues such as energy security and climate change mitigation, given that safetization involves similar politicization and de-politicization processes and the exercise of power.

The article emphasizes the need to update the content of professional training of specialists for the transport industry in connection with radical changes in the Ukrainian economy and the revision of educational and professional standards. The aims of the article are to determine the content and essence of professional competences of future motor vehicle profile specialists, as well as the principles and approaches that contribute to its formation in the conditions of distance learning interaction. In order to reveal the main directions of the formation of professional competences of future motor vehicle profile specialists, a set of methods has been used, including analysis, generalization and modelling of the content of professional competencies, study and research of advanced pedagogical experience in the application of technologies of distance learning interaction. It has been found that the professional competence of future motor vehicle profile specialists is an integrative dynamic personality characteristic based on a set of special knowledge, practical skills, skills in the field of transport and information technologies, their personal qualities, which ensures their performance of professional responsibilities at a productive level. The content of professional competence is an invariant set of essential professional competences related to the realisation of management functions in motor vehicle enterprises and the performance of typical professional tasks to operate, repair, and maintain vehicles. It has been established that the professional competence of a specialist in the motor transport industry is a multidimensional phenomenon which can be characterized by scientific research, organizational management, project design, production technology, and service-operational competence. Professional competence provides the specialist with the realization of motivational and promotional, gnostic, practical and operational, communicative, control and evaluation functions in professional activity. The analysis of modern distance learning tools showed their significant potential in updating the content, forms and methods of organizing the students’ professional training for the motor vehicle area of expertise. It has been revealed that the formation of professional competence of appointed specialists in the conditions of distance and mixed learning can be carried out in such forms of educational activity as academic, quasi-professional, educational-professional and extracurricular independent studies. The possibilities of electronic educational complexes, online lectures and frontal laboratory and practical classes, virtual and with augmented reality simulators, study SMART systems, electronic communicators, learning content management systems, open electronic educational resources, and MOOC in the formation of components of students’ professional competence have been described. It has been substantiated that the construction of distance learning interaction based on the principles of systematicity, interdisciplinarity, professional focus, interactivity, keeping a record of the regional characteristics, and gamification, as well as application of the regulations of competency-based, activity-oriented and personal-focused approaches will contribute to the training of future highly qualified motor vehicle profile specialists.

MOTIVATIONAL ASPECTS OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ACTIVITY OF STUDENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Professional training of students of higher education institutions involves various activities, the main of which is educational. In addition, of the significant importence is scientific research work, which necessitates the development of appropriate motivation. The aim of the article is to study the motivational aspects of scientific research activity of students of higher education institutions. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of psychological and pedagogical literature − used to clarify the nature and structure of the concept of motivation and the peculiarities of the formation of students' motivation for scientific research work; generalizations - to formulate the author's conclusions. It is established that the motive is what determines a person's desire for a specific, not for any other goal. Motives determine the motivating reasons that determine the purposeful human activity. The leading role in the development of personality and its effective activity is played by motives related to the work itself (professional interests, satisfaction with the process and result of work, overcoming difficulties, the emergence and reinforcement of positive self-esteem). There are types of motivation − positive and negative. The classification of motives of professionally oriented scientific research activity of students (internal and external) is carried out. Among the external motives there are: social (professional development; responsibility for the work; the importance of scientific research work in professional activities; the desire to benefit from their work) and personal (material well-being; career growth; respect for colleagues). Internal motives include: cognitive interests (interest in the studied objects and phenomena; interest in the problem-solving process and scientific research activities), as well as aspirations (aspirations to overcome difficulties; aspirations to intellectual development, focus on successful scientific work). The conditions that have a positive effect on the development of students' motivation for scientific research activity are determined: their mastery of theoretical knowledge in the field of scientific and research skills, awareness of their role in the process of professional activity; ensuring a high degree of student independence; productive interaction between students and teachers and a high level of scientific research competence of teachers who participate in the process of scientific research training of students.

The author emphasizes insufficient information coverage of the theme, despite its high urgency. The author defines basic directions of studies: studies of training the future medical PhDs and studies of shaping their academic communicative competence. Another classification of the future medical PhDs training can be classified in the following groups: studies of shaping the scientific research competence in future PhDs, Studies of shapingacademic competence in future PhDs, studies of shaping the pedagogical competence in future PhDs and studies of shaping the professional competence in medical PhDs. The studies of shaping the skills of future research are represented by papers by V.Miniajlo, O.M. Spirin, S. Nikolajeva, who emphasize shaping the research skills of future PhDs as the key training component. The authors stress upon the importance of informational education of future PhDs as the basic components of their training. The article describes the studies of shaping the academic competence within training future PhDs (O. Semenog), dwelling on the modernity of the term. The studies of teaching professional specialized and teaching competences by M. Filonenko and I.Panchenko are dedicated to shaping both the academic and teaching skills during the PhDs training. The significance of academic culture shaping, was studies by several scientists, of which the professional training was covered by V.Lekhan, I.Klishch and L.Lymar. Some Russian scientists studied peculiarities of distance training of the aspirants(postgraduate position in Russia), though they neglect and arrogantly treat this type of education. The article separates basic directions of the studies: studies of teaching the PhDs in “Healthcare” and studies of shaping the academic communicative competence of the last. The author stresses upon the necessity of further qualitative studies of the distance training effectiveness regarding the communicative academic foreign language competence of future medical PhDs.

PERSON-ORIENTED APPROACH TO FORMING SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH COMPETENCE OF FUTURE ENVIRONMENTALISTS

In the course of the research the theoretical and practical development of the problem of a person-oriented approach to the formation of research and development competence was analyzed. The research was conducted using a systemic synergistic approach, using general scientific methods of analysis, syn-thesis and comparison. The essence of the concepts of "person-oriented learning", " person-oriented approach" is revealed.
 Conditions and methods of organization of the educational process during the formation of the scientific and research competence from the standpoint of person-oriented approach are considered. It is determined that the use of developed information retrieval systems and computer tools in the educational process realizes the principles of scientific, professional orientation, practical significance and creates the necessary conditions for the implementation of an individual, differentiated person-oriented approach in the formation of research and development competence.
 An example of the application of a person-oriented approach in the formation of the research competence of future environmental specialists is provided with the help of the developed information-retrieval system of the purification equipment, which allows forming integrative knowledge from ecology and other branches of knowledge.
 The results of the research may form the basis for further scientific analysis - the development of theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of scientific research competence of future specialists-ecologists.

Comparison of training models for master of public health between China and other countries

With the accelerating globalization and the implementation of "Belt and Road" initiative proposed by our government, communication and exchanges between China and foreign countries have become more and more frequent than before, and much more international students have chosen to study in China's universities as candidates of master of public health (MPH). However, because China only launched the MPH program in recent years, with the training models being highly similar to the program of master of science in China but quite different from those of main international MPH programs, hindering China's MPH program to become an international one. This paper systematically evaluated existing training models of MPH programs both at home and abroad through literature review and identified major differences and deficiencies of China's MPH program compared to those from other countries: (1) requirement for medical background only; (2) comparatively longer period to complete the program; (3) incomplete curriculum; (4) overemphasizing scientific research competencies but somewhat neglecting practical abilities; and (5) limited career choices, and put forward some suggestions to improve the MPH program of China, including removing requirement for medical background only, shortening the period of MPH program, improving the curriculum of MPH program, and enhancing the training of practical abilities.

Development of the Scientific Research Competency Scale for nurses.

The planning, implementation, finalisation and reporting of high-quality research depends on the knowledge, skills and competencies of the many individuals who make carrying out the research possible. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale in order to identify the scientific research competencies of nursing professionals at undergraduate and graduate level. This methodological study was carried out on 937 nursing personnel, 422 (45%) of whom were academic members and 515 (55%) were undergraduate students. The Anxiety Scale Towards Research and the Attitude Scale Towards Scientific Research were used for the criterion validity. The Scientific Research Competency Scale comprises 57 items in four sub-dimensions named as 'technical skills', 'attitude and behaviours', 'estimation capacity' and 'foreign language skill'. The Cronbach alpha, Guttmann split-half and Spearman Brown reliability coefficients for the scientific research competency scale were, respectively, 0.98, 0.96 and 0.96. The sensitivity and specificity value, by which the research competency of individuals could be determined with minimum error, was indicated to be at 190 breakpoints of the scientific research competency scale. As a result, the scientific research competency scale developed is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to determine the scientific research competencies of nursing professionals.

A META-ANALYSIS ON EFL SECONDARY TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES IN CHINA

Many researches about secondary English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher professional competences (TPCs) of senior high schools have been conducted through investigating teachers in some regions in China, which only reflect the status and development needs of local teachers. However, the relevant research conducted nationally was limited. Therefore, this study aims at exploring the status and needs of EFL secondary TPCs of senior high schools in China by using bibliometric method and content analysis of the meta-analysis. A review of relevant literature published between 2015 and 2019 was used to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of professional competences, causes and approaches discussed in the literature. Based on 25 studies, the results revealed that teachers have a medium level of pedagogical competence (PC). They are skilled in information and communication technology competence (ICTC) but scientific research competence (SRC) is very low. Curriculum competence (CC), reflective competence (RC) and assessment competence (AC) are low. Awareness of self-development and efficient in-service training are the key factors for improving professional competences.
