Strategic partnership between the multi-faith state and religious institutions as a tool for sustainable development at the age of forced migration
No full textThe present research argues for the need of coordination at international, national, and local levels regarding State and religious communities’ activities in the field of forced migration. The study aims to map current promising practices in the area under study. The respective goal shapes a number of research questions that cover the following issues: basic trends in Academia’s research regarding the role of religious community in solving issues related to unscheduled migration, current national practices of interaction between the State and Religious Institutions in the field of forced migrants support in a multi-faith state, recommendations which can be drafted for future actions. The research methodology stood on the qualitative approach. The materials for the research included academic sources, official sites of governmental and various religious organizations. In terms of academic ethics, the present research team acknowledges that issues of religion affiliation of an individual and that of national policies that incorporate religious issues turn out to be highly sensitive and therefor, and focuses on practices and realities of the State which the research team members represent (Russian Federation). The research methodology incorporated theoretical analysis of literature and study of cases that set forth examples of the state and religious institutions’ cooperation. The results led grounds for conclusions and recommendations for further theoretical research trends and areas of state policy and activities regarding inter-institutional cooperation to support and cope with forced migration challenges. © 2019 Gorbatenko and Davtyan
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

THE TEACHER'S ROLE IN THE MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
No full textThis article attempts to examine the transformation of the teacher's role in the humanities and sciences in higher education institutions, in terms of demands to the educational process, relevant to the Bologna agreement. A teacher serves as a "guide" in the huge array of information flows. Professional activities of the teacher, especially in the humanities, is aimed not at being the primary source of professional information, but he/she needs to help students find the necessary information, analyze it, assess it adequately, and to form their own opinions and ideas. This means that the teacher bears more responsibility; not only prepare a professional, but educate citizens, "a human in a human". The peculiarity of Humanitarian Sciences is that the same fact can be assessed in different ways. For example, the student can independently find and study information about any person or event; he can even independently explore different points of view on historical processes. The task of the teacher is, first, not to allow the student to "sink" in the vast array of information, second, help the student to look at the facts from a different perspectives, to form a comprehensive understanding of a phenomena, third, together with the students analyze the fact so that the student could develop his/her own views and opinions, and he could defend his point of view with arguments. In this case, the personal communication of the teacher and the student plays a huge role. The author comes to conclusions that the teacher shifts from the "source of knowledge" into a "conductor" of informational flow
