1898. 25 години от обесването на Левски: юбилей и преса

Author(s): Elena Getova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

The year 1898 marked the first jubilee of Vasil Levski – 25 years since his hanging. The dynamics of political processes in liberated Bulgaria at the time present a rather interesting and particularly complex picture against the background of which this event unfolded. The stereotype of jubilee celebrations was yet to consolidate and this particular occasion – the anniversary since the death of the Apostle of freedom – makes visible the deep political contradictions inherited from previous historical realities. The manifestations of these contradictions can be seen in the press in 1898.

A New Approach for the Synthesis of P-Anisyl Ethyl Fumarate: a C-9154 Antibiotic Analogue

Author(s): Maulidan Firdaus,Ahmad Ainurofiq,Aulia Vellarani / Language(s): English / Issue: 6/2016

A simple, energy-efficient, and relatively quick synthetic procedure for the synthesis of p-anisyl ethyl fumarate from p-anisaldehyde has been carried out. The synthesis was started by solvent-free reduction of the aldehyde using sodium borohydrate. The second step was solvent-free condensation of the resulting alcohol with maleic anhydride to be followed by esterification of the resulting acid with ethanol in the presence of benzenesulfonic acid as the catalyst. Satisfactorily isolated yields (65-98%) were achieved confirming that the preparation of the C-9154 antibiotic analogue is possible in sustainable fashion.

A New Meaning of the Notion “Expansion of a Number”

Author(s): Rosen Nikolaev,Tanka Milkova,Radan Miryanov / Language(s): English / Issue: 6/2018

In the present paper a new meaning of the notion “expansion of a number” is proposed by the authors. Some interesting problems are considered with corresponding answers and summarized results. The idea is by means of only one digit (used several times) and different mathematical symbols, signs and operations, to express (to expand) other digits. The research could be used by students and teachers to generate new examples with educational purposes or to find alternative variants of the problems in the paper.

A Novel Approach for Kinetic Study of Alkaline Hydrolysis of Ethyl Acetate

Author(s): Mala Das Sharma,U.S.V.R. Hymavathi / Language(s): English / Issue: 5/2017

We present an innovative electromotive force (EMF) measurement technique to study the kinetic behavior during alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate. The explicit feature of this research is the application of green chemistry ideas that are inherent in the experiment. Using the new approach, we find that the kinetic behavior of the reaction under study follows second order with an estimated rate constant value at 25°C to be 2.45 × 10-3 cm–3 min–1. This value is in excellent agreement with the conventional end-point neutralization titration method discussed previously in the literature. The novel EMF measurement technique is simple, fast, accurate and eco-friendly. Keeping in view of long-term sustainability of the ecosystem, we feel that there is an urgent need to switch over from conventional laboratory practices to green chemistry approaches. Further, the method discussed here may prove to be extremely useful for teachers, researchers and students who wish to carry out kinetic study of other systems.

A továbbképzések hatása a pedagógusok szemléletére

Author(s): Ilona Liskó / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2008

Ilona Liskó analyzed the data from a research project conducted between 2006–2007 which examined the effects of teacher trainings in the Integration Scheme. The Integration Scheme is intended to promote the integrated education of socially disadvantaged and Roma children and the improvement of the institutions that educate them. Throughout the research work the background of the trainees, the evaluation and the outcome of the trainings were examined. The study focuses on the impact of the trainings on the attitudes of the teachers trained. The data showed that the effectiveness of the trainings was strongly influenced by the attitudes of the trainees. The trainings had a positive effect on the attitudes of the teachers trained but the effect was rather small. The majority of the teachers did not believe that students’ skills could be improved neither before nor after the training, and they had serious doubts about whether a successful integration between schools would be possible at all.

Ability, Examination and Inclusive Education: Stretching the Hard Lines of the Educational System

Author(s): Halis Sakiz / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

The aim of this paper is to delve into the debate about the epistemological nature of ability and examination, which we have been continuously exposed to, but rarely scrutinized. In the paper, I refer to Turkey as a case and argue that the dominance of ability-based paradigm and its associated assessment and placement systems have created a new educational order which categorizes schools and students based on how they perform at a single point in time. What is more, I critically evaluate the construction of “abilities” and “disabilities” through the means employed in the education system, followed by a discussion of the examination culture as a product of an ability-based system. Finally, I propose inclusive education as a powerful means of transforming the education system to an equitable and educationally effective one in which all students are welcomed and provided with education of good quality that both enriches childhood and maximizes chances of leading a fulfilled adult life.

Accessibility and Inclusion in Higher Education: Implementing International Imperatives in National and Institutional Contexts

Author(s): Hanan Alexander,Jurgita Vizgirdaite,Palmira Juceviciene / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

This paper reports on a capacity-building project in higher education known as DARE (Developing programs for Access of disadvantaged groups of people and Regions to higher Education), as viewed through the lenses of Hanan Alexander’s pedagogy of difference, Uri Bronfenbrenner’sbioecological theory of human development, and Chris Argyris’s concept of action science. The project is funded by the European Commission’s Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency. Following a literature review, the report analyzes data drawn from documents, observations, and focus groups to explore how and why policies addressing accessibility to higher education for disadvantaged groups are implemented in different international contexts. Influenced by international initiatives, DARE has provided material, conceptual, professional, and collegial resources to have an overall positive effect on advancing access to and inclusion in higher education for minorities, students with disabilities, and women.
