Understanding Of Science

Starting from Wilhelm Dilthey?s concept of understanding, the article inquires into modes of forming competencies within the experience of reflexive education. In line with moder?nity?s understanding of science, the text designates the role of sciences as instances of po?ssible real values (of optional values), whereby the spiritual sciences are ascribed the role of giving meaning by broadening horizons. The article questions the ground that allows for spiritual and pedagogical sciences within the commercialization of university teaching and research activities. In all this, functionalization conducts a process leading to the weakening of the constructive role of these sciences in the formation of competencies.

Abstract Entrepreneurship is increasingly becoming a very relevant instrument in promoting economic growth in a country. Thus the role of globalization in promoting entrepreneurship in Malaysia is analyzed in this context. In this regard, universities as teaching and research units and according to their potential and capabilities play an important role in development, entrepreneurship and job creation. What affect does globalization have on an economy? Globalization of education and entrepreneurial studies has allowed efficient access to the scientific environment and culture of various countries. Given the ever-changing world in which we live, this paper aims to explain the importance of investigating educational and research activities of universities converging towards globalization and entrepreneurship.

The dissemination of English and the role it plays in Russian higher education are connected with its internationalization – a process that has been gaining momentum over recent decades spurred by a number of top-down and bottom-up initiatives. The role of English in university teaching and research is illustrated by the analysis of open access data on two leading Russian universities and the findings of a survey of teaching staff’s perceptions of English in academia. The views of some other stakeholders have been collected from the existing publications on the topic. The term Englishization is inappropriate to describe the Russian context because the use of English in Russian academia is not as far-reaching as the term implies.

University teaching and research are so different in character that each really needs to be managed in a different way. Furthermore, the funding of teaching and of research by the UK government, following a recent shift in responsibilities between two of its departments, is increasingly being separated. In adapting to such changing circumstances, a university should, suggests David Thomas, structure its senior management to include two posts immediately below the Vice Chancellor, one responsible for the overall policy coordination of the university's teaching programme and one for its research activities. Within each of these areas of responsibility will be minor activities carried out primarily for financial gain rather than in fulfilment of the university's academic mission. Such activities, it is proposed, are best handled through subsidiary companies, outside the main management structure, to help preserve the true academic nature of the university against threat of distortion by market forces, and also to safeguard its charitable status.

In recent years Italian Public History has gone through a process that has transformed it from a series of practices to a more institutionalised discipline. The university teaching and research activities in Public History have to deal with the problem of the discipline’s recognition in a rigid academic system that is based on pre-determined disciplinary areas and in which unconventional research outcomes are discouraged. In this context, the innovative experience of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) at Ca’ Foscari University constitutes a new model of interaction between Public History and universities, with a targeted recruitment and the organisation of a broad range of activities in the field.

Nowadays, the Industry 4.0 concept affects every area of the industrial, economic, social and personal sectors. The most significant changings are the automation and the digitalization. This is also true for the material handling processes, where the handling systems use more and more automated machines; planning, operation and optimization of different logistic processes are based on many digital data collected from the material flow process. However, new methods and devices require new solutions which define new research directions. In this paper we describe the state of the art of the material handling researches and draw the role of the UMi-TWINN partner institutes in these fields. As a result of this H2020 EU project, scientific excellence of the University of Miskolc can be increased and new research activities will be started.

ABSTRACTIt is considered paramount concern depriving, in this globalized world to rethink the axiological models that determine the attitudes of those involved in education, with the aim to reposition the role of teachers in personal, professional and public life learner. In the formative process of teaching and learning, the teacher transmits to his students: values, attitudes and knowledge. If we assume that teaching is to encourage students to reflect to make judgments critically and develop skills in the pursuit of knowledge and reinforce attitudes are looking for the education of students as a result of acting trained teachers and committed ethics and / or securities training, which means establishing scales, deciding on priorities, learn to value their own decisions and not others to choose.RESUMENSe considera de suma importancia la preocupación que priva, en este mundo globalizado de replantear los es-quemas axiológicos que determinan las actitudes de los actores involucrados en la educación, teniendo como propósito el reposicionamiento de la función del docente en la vida personal, profesional y pública del educando. En el proceso formativo de Enseñanza-Aprendizaje, el docente transmite a sus estudiantes: valores, actitudes y conocimientos. Si partimos de que enseñar es estimular a los alumnos a reflexionar para establecer juicios en forma crítica, así como desarrollar habilidades en la búsqueda del conocimiento y reforzar actitudes, se está buscando la educación integral de los estudiantes, como consecuencia del actuar docente capacitado y comprometido con la formación ética y/o en valores, que significa establecer escalas, decidirse por prioridades, aprender a valorar las propias decisiones y no que otros las elijan. Contacto principal: [email protected]

AbstractDzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) is considered as one of the most important energies for specific chiral textures such as magnetic skyrmions. The keys of generating DMI are the absence of structural inversion symmetry and exchange energy with spin–orbit coupling. Therefore, a vast majority of research activities about DMI are mainly limited to heavy metal/ferromagnet bilayer systems, only focusing on their interfaces. Here, we report an asymmetric band formation in a superlattices (SL) which arises from inversion symmetry breaking in stacking order of atomic layers, implying the role of bulk-like contribution. Such bulk DMI is more than 300% larger than simple sum of interfacial contribution. Moreover, the asymmetric band is largely affected by strong spin–orbit coupling, showing crucial role of a heavy metal even in the non-interfacial origin of DMI. Our work provides more degrees of freedom to design chiral magnets for spintronics applications.
