личностного, профессионального образа человека и средством межинституциональных и межсубъектных коммуникаций, которые подвержены трансформации в новых глобальных экономических,
геополитических условиях. Все это предъявляет специфические требования к ведению профессиональной жизни современного преподавателя высшей школы и ее грамотному отражению в цифровом информационно-коммуникационном пространстве. Это обусловлено не только связью с социумом, запросом на полноценную информацию о преподавателе, его профессиональных компетенциях,
но и требованиями к корпоративным сайтам вузов и обязательной информации, размещаемой в них
о профессорско-преподавательском составе. Во многом это обусловлено планомерной поэтапной работой по формированию положительного имиджа вуза. Целью работы является обоснование и разработка формирования имиджа преподавателя вуза в цифровом пространстве. В статье на основе
анализа корпоративных сайтов 18 вузов, опроса 138 студентов о важности цифровых компетенций
современного педагога исследована имиджевая информация о педагоге, его личностный, социально-
культурный, профессионально-корпоративный образы. Определены аспекты управления имиджем в
современных условиях. Исследованы виды деятельности педагога и их представленность через цифровые каналы. В статье представлена модель формирования имиджа педагога в цифровом информационно-коммуникационном пространстве, инновационным аспектом которой является ее содержательно-функциональный модуль и его развитие. Digital environment is a field of presentation of social, personal, professional image and
means of inter-institutional and inter-personal communication, which are subject to transformation in constantly
changing global economic and geopolitical conditions. All these circumstances impose specific requirements on the professional life of academic staff and reflect the need of competent reflection of academic
staff portfolio in digital information and communication space. Moreover, the need for the presentation
of comprehensive information about the university academic staff and their professional competencies
is explained by the requirements for corporate websites of higher education institutions and obligatory
information about their teaching staff. This requires a systematic step-by-step work aimed to form a positive
image of a university. The purpose of the work is to substantiate and develop the formation of the image
of a member of the academic staff in digital environment. The authors analyzed the corporate websites of
18 universities and conducted a survey of 138 students. The respondents shared their views on the importance
of digital competencies of the faculty, on the image information about the faculty member, his personal,
socio-cultural, professional-corporate images. The aspects of image management in modern conditions
were determined. The types of teacher's activity and their representation through digital channels were
investigated. The article presents a model for the formation of a teacher's image in the digital information
and communication space, the innovative aspect of which is the model’s content-functional module and its
development

Environmental impacts during the operational phase of residential buildings
No full textTo date, the focus in the field of sustainable building has been on new building design. However, existing residential buildings inflict great environmental burden through three causes: continuous energy consumption, regular building maintenance and replacements. This publication analyses and compares these three causes of environmental burden and shows that material resources needed for replacements generally have a limited potential to reduce environmental impact. Reducing energy consumption for climate control and electrical appliances is much more effective. According to the author, sustainable measures should be tested for shifts in the kind of environmental impact caused due to the use of alternative types of energy resources and altered material quantities. The sustainability of the electricity supply is essential to decrease the total environmental impact of the residential building stock.Sustainable and Healthy HousingOTB Research Institut
Animal Blood Sacrifice in Left-Hand Path and Satanic Milieu: Case Study of the Author N.A-A.218
No full textKrvavá zvířecí oběť v Left-Hand Path a satanském milieu: Případová studie autora N.A-A.218 Matouš Mokrý English Abstract: The main aim of this paper was to study the meaning and nature of Chaos-gnostic animal sacrifice in the texts of N.A-A.218, to describe its social functions and to put it in its social and discoursive context, and thus to provide further understanding of its occurrence within the Left-Hand Path and satanic milieu whose dominant actors have rejected the act of animal sacrifice. The work deals in more detail mainly with discourses found in the texts of N.A- A.218 which are expressing the conception of sacrificial blood as magically potent substance constituting the seat of animal's life; do ut des principle; traditionality and duty of animal sacrifice and the conception of sacrifice as gradual killing of one's own ego which constitutes the part of a Chaos-gnostic's personality that is tying him to the demiurgic material world and its society. Whereas the discourses of blood as a magically potent substance and do ut des principle harmonize the Chaos-gnostic animal sacrifice with intuitive conceptions arising in connection with animal sacrifice across individual human cultures, the discourse of compulsory tradition shapes animal sacrifice as a tool of building, maintaining and control of..

Outsourcing and Skill Imports: Foreign High-Skilled Workers on H-1B and L-1 Visas in the United States
Get PDFThis working paper looks in detail at the H-1B and L-1 visa programs for temporary employment in the United States. Based on official data from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and the US Department of State, H-1B and L-1 visa issuance rapidly increased in the late 1990s, followed by a marked slowdown after 2001. This points to the highly cyclical nature of both visa programs. Indian nationals and immigrants working in computer-related occupations dominate the H1-B and L-1 population in the United States, but these two groups are also found to be the most cyclical segment, with very large declines in inflows after 2001. The total population of H-1B visaholders in 2003 is estimated to range between 387,000 and 746,000, of which 160,000 to 306,000 were Indian nationals. As all data on H-1B/L-1 visaholders are gross numbers and gross jobs data for comparable categories are absent, the extent of the impact of these visa programs on the US labor market cannot be gauged precisely. A broad range of US industries and educational institutions are found to be employing H-1B recipients, with the IT industry being the dominant sector. Evidence of aggressive wage-cost cutting, including paying H-1B recipients only the legally mandated 95 percent of the prevailing US wage, is found among some H-1B employers, although no systematic abuse of the system is present.Outsourcing, offshoring, high-skilled labor, immigration, H1B/L-1 visas
Abandoning The “High Offensiveness” Privacy Test
Get PDFThis article argues that the New Zealand torts of giving publicity to private
information and intruding upon solitude and seclusion would better reflect the true
nature of the privacy interest if the requirement that any alleged privacy interference
be “highly offensive to an objective reasonable person” were abandoned. Courts should,
instead, determine what is prima facie private by reference to the plaintiff ’s “reasonable
expectation of privacy” in respect of the information or activity in question. There are
three main reasons for this: first, the high offensiveness test operates in a manner which
is both uncertain and unpredictable; second, New Zealand courts applying the high
offensiveness test have taken too narrow a view of the nature of privacy harms; and
third, the test is unnecessary
State Monopolization of Fur Hunting in the Far Eastern Republic in 1920–1922: Perspective of N.A. Mikhailovsky, Head of Fishing Department
Get PDFThe article discusses the state fur monopoly in the Far Eastern Republic (1920–1922). N.A. Mikhailovsky was the head of the Sub-Department for Fisheries and Hunting at the Ministry of Agriculture. His scientific approach to fur monopoly was rather unusual for the bureaucratic nomenclature of those days. The author performed a comprehensive analysis of N.A. Mikhailovsky’s views on the nature of the fur monopoly, the experience of its implementation in the Far Eastern Republic, the consequences of the poor implementation methods, and the ways the commercial and raw material economy used to get out of the crisis. The research relied on the principles of objectivity and historicism, with historical-genetic and formal-legal methods. N.A. Mikhailovsky could foresee the disastrous outcome of the hastily adopted legal provisions as the sudden drop in fur legally harvested by the Central Union of Cooperatives led to smuggling. However, he did his best to improve the legislative procedure of state monopolization. N.A. Mikhailovsky faced the difficult foreign policy situation in the frontier and the domestic economic crisis. He had to act at the limit of his departmental capabilities, trying to overcome the resistance of the controlling organs, e.g., the Ministry of Industry and Trade. He made a number of very careful attempts to bring to the authorities the situation with gangs that smuggled the fur "counter currency" abroad. During 1921 – early 1922, he proposed a number of measures to rationalize the system of commercial fur harvesting while maintaining a limited state monopoly. As a result, the government took the correct legislative strategy to establish productive relationships with the local hunting communities
