A key challenge for FAIRsFAIR is to ensure project activities dovetail with work carried out by the EOSC Governance Working Groups, and feed into and complement work being done by other projects in the research data and FAIR space. FAIRsFAIR is looking in particular at four strategic assets: DATA PRACTICES In collaboration with established experts, FAIRsFAIR will document and further develop data practice and repository design to dramatically enhance data interoperability across scientific domains and geographic divides. A first set of Recommendations has already been released specifically on FAIR Semantics (D2.2 - https://zenodo.org/record/3707985#.XrQTqKgzaM8) and for Persistence and Interoperability (D2.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3557381#.XrQULKgzaM8) together with reports on FAIR Data Practice Analysis (D3.2 - https://zenodo.org/record/3581353#.XrQUeagzaM8) and the Features of FAIR Data Repositories (D2.3 - https://zenodo.org/record/3631528#.XrQU3qgzaM8). DATA POLICY Based on a thorough review of the current policy landscape, FAIRsFAIR will make concrete recommendations to enhance FAIR policy and embed FAIR culture in institutes of higher learning. In this regard, a FAIR Policy Landscape Analysis report has been published (D3.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3558173#.XrQWB6gzaM8), followed by Recommendations for Policy Enhancements (D3.3 - https://zenodo.org/record/3686901#.XrQWWqgzaM8). A report on FAIR in European Higher Education (D7.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3629683#.XrQWvagzaM8) has also been released. FAIR COMPETENCE CENTRE FAIRsFAIR will establish an educational programme to equip researchers, trainers and institutes of higher learning across Europe with the information and skills required to produce and curate FAIR data. In this regard, an Overview of Needs for Competence Centres (D6.1 - https://zenodo.org/record/3549791#.XrQXSqgzaM8) and a preliminary definition of the FAIRsFAIR Core Competence Centre (D6.2 - https://zenodo.org/record/3732889#.XrQXyqgzaM8) have been published.

The article covers the proceedings of the IV International Academic Conference 'Historical, Cultural, Interethnic, Religious and Political Relations of the Crimea with the Mediterranean Region and the Countries of the East', which was held on October 6–10, 2020 in Sevastopol on the basis of the Sevastopol State University and the State Historical and Archeological Museum-Reserve 'Chersonesos Taurica'. Talks on given problems were distributed through several areas of research — marine archeology, data from written sources, history, international affairs, historiography and cartography, archeology, numismatics, and others. Particular attention was paid to the interdisciplinary and complex research.
The ideas of John Rawls have revolutionized the shape and content of much of contemporary political and social philosophy. His A Theory of Justice (1971) and Political Liberalism, (1993) among other works, have been a rich source of ideas which continue to influence contemporary discussions about justice and politics. Although much has been written on the political philosophy of Rawls, there has not been any in-depth study focused on the implications of the ideas of Rawls for contemporary existing democracies. Drawing on some of his earlier work, the author offers a detailed exploration of ho.
After more than three decades of independence, many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have not yet developed stable political systems. Since the 1960s, when African countries began to achieve independence, many of them have encountered significant levels of institutional instability. In recent years, political violence has emerged as the most common method of governmental change. In this study, the effects of political violence on economic and human development in Sub-Saharan Africa are examined. It is seen that political instability is a significant constraint to the improvement of the human condition in the region.
Introduction. In today's world, professionals in any sphere of occupation should have soft skills in order to be in demand in the labour market, to quickly build a career and to achieve personal success. Soft skills involve: skills to communicate, to think creatively and unconventionally, to work in a team and to take responsibility, to organise own time effectively and to adapt quickly in new situations, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to be an owner of social qualities, which are commonly referred to as universal competencies, aimed at to finding optimal balanced solutions in a wide range of daily professional tasks. These skills are not quantifiable and are not generally described in job descriptions, but precisely these skills ensure high efficiency and productivity in any industry. In Western countries, the issues and strategies for soft skills formation in different categories of population have been studied for quite some time. Recently, these problems have become much more common among Russian scientists. The growing relevance of this issue is related to the changes in educational system, the changes in educational and personal guidelines, and the requirements for professional activities. This article is an overview of scientific Russian and foreign publications devoted to the aspects of soft skills development.The aims of the present research are the following: to identify the main trends in the study of soft skills and the possibilities for their acquisition by a person; to find out the similarities and differences between Russian and foreign studies; to determine the most promising scientific inquiry.Methodology and research methods. The study is based on the comparative-historical method. The authors used content-analysis and comparative analysis of documents, articles and results of statistical reports in international databases of Scopus and Web of Science within the period from 1975 to March 2019.Results and scientific novelty. For the first time, the authors conducted retrospective panoramic review of publications on soft skills, systemised additional information concerning the topic under discussion and identified the similarities between existing problems in different countries: lack of appropriate attention to soft skills development when designing educational programmes; insufficient involvement of employers in this process; complexity of the process of observing and evaluating soft skills; difference between the set of competencies acquired by graduates during studies with expectations and demand in the labour market, etc. Diverse ways of soft skills development are offered: organisation of special courses taught out of the subject context (which have already shown their inefficiency), mastering soft skills in parallel with the process of subject-based training or through the potential of particular disciplines. The international scientific community agrees with the statement that educational programmes, in any case, need to be refocused on the soft skills development. However, the general trend is the presentation in most studies of local statistical results, rather narrow professional topics of research and limited time (1–2 academic years). Concerning methodological tools for measuring universal social skills, both Russian and foreign authors prefer case study, classroom research and questionnaires.In general, Russian pedagogical science demonstrates the same vector of development as foreign science, but passes the same stages as other countries with a lag. The only significant difference was found in the research topic: according to the publications of Russian scientists, little attention is given to the problem of migrants' soft skills. Indeed, the issue of soft skills development is one of the most relevant problems abroad. This can probably be attributed to the specifics of migration processes: for instance, many foreign citizens with completely different cultural and religious mentalities arrive in the European Union; on the contrary, Russia is migrated mainly from former Soviet republics, wherein people are close to the Russians in emotional intelligence.Practical significance. The results of the analytical review allow the scientific and pedagogical community to obtain a comprehensive picture of the main trends in studying the problems of soft skills development and to identify priority directions of further research. ; Введение. В современном мире профессионалу практически в любой сфере занятости, чтобы быть востребованным на рынке труда, быстро построить карьеру и добиться личного успеха, необходимо владеть soft skills (англ. «мягкие / гибкие навыки»): умениями общаться и нестандартно, творчески мыслить, работать в команде и брать на себя ответственность, эффективно организовывать свое время и быстро адаптироваться в новых ситуациях и т. п. – т. е. нужно быть обладателем социальных качеств, которые принято называть универсальными компетенциями, помогающими находить оптимальные взвешенные решения в широком спектре ежедневных профессиональных задач. Эти навыки не поддаются количественному измерению и, как правило, не описаны в должностных инструкциях, но именно они обеспечивают высокую производительность и продуктивность труда в любой отрасли. В западных странах уже достаточно давно изучаются вопросы и стратегии формирования soft skills у разных категорий населения. В последнее время эти проблемы гораздо чаще стали привлекать внимание и российских ученых. Растущая актуальность указанной проблематики связана с переменами, происходящими в системе образования, изменениями образовательных и личностных ориентиров, требований к профессиональной деятельности. Данная статья представляет собой обзор научных российских и зарубежных публикаций, посвященных аспектам развития soft skills.Цели предпринятого авторами исследования – обозначить основные тенденции изучения soft skills и возможностей их обретения индивидом; обнаружить точки соприкосновения и отличия отечественных и зарубежных изысканий; выявить наиболее перспективные направления научных поисков.Методология и методы. Работа выполнена с опорой на сравнительно-исторический метод. В ходе исследования использовались контент-анализ и сопоставительный анализ содержания документов, статей и материалов статистических отчетов, размещенных в международных базах данных Scopus и Web of Science в период с 1975 г. по март 2019 г.Результаты и научная новизна. Впервые проведенный в области отечественной педагогики ретроспективный панорамный обзор публикаций о soft skills и систематизация иной касающейся обсуждаемой темы информации указывают на сходство существующих в разных странах проблем: отсутствия должного внимания к формированию soft skills при составлении учебных программ; недостаточного привлечения работодателей к этому процессу; сложности наблюдения и оценки «гибких» навыков; несовпадения набора приобретенных выпускниками вузов во время учебы компетенций с ожиданиями и спросом на рынке труда и др. Предлагаются различные пути развития soft skills: организация специальных, преподающихся вне предметного контекста курсов (уже показавших свою неэффективность), освоение soft skills параллельно с процессом предметного обучения или посредством потенциала отдельных дисциплин. Но международное научное сообщество солидарно в том, что образовательные программы в любом случае необходимо переориентировать на формирование soft skills. Вместе с тем общей тенденцией является изложение в большинстве исследований локальных статистических результатов, довольно узкая профессиональная тематика изысканий и ограниченность их по времени (1–2 учебных года). Среди методического инструментария измерения универсальных социальных навыков как российские, так и иностранные авторы отдают предпочтение case study, classroom research и опросникам.В целом российская педагогическая наука демонстрирует тот же вектор развития, что и зарубежная, однако проходит те же, что и другие страны, стадии с отставанием. Единственное существенное отличие установлено в части тематики исследований: ученых России, судя по публикациям, мало занимает проблема soft skills мигрантов, которая за рубежом является одной из самых актуальных. Возможно, это объясняется спецификой миграционных процессов: если в страны Евросоюза прибывает множество иноземцев с совершенно разной культурной и религиозной ментальностью, то в Россию мигрируют в основном выходцы из бывших советских республик, близких к россиянам по эмоциональному интеллекту.Практическая значимость. Результаты аналитического обзора позволяют научно-педагогической общественности составить целостное представление об основных тенденциях изучения проблем формирования soft skills и вычленить приоритетные направления дальнейших исследований.
Purpose Deepening supply-side structural reform is the main objective of the economic work since the Chinese economy entered a new stage of development. By adopting the fundamental principles and methodologies of Marxist political economy, the authors can provide clarifications on the three basic theoretical issues concerning the supply-side structural reform. The paper aims to discuss these issues.
Design/methodology/approach First, the essential starting point for understanding the supply-side structural reform is the primacy of production, as well as the organic connection between production and consumption in social reproduction, rather than the supply and demand as superficially seen in exchanges. By identifying the right starting point, the authors can avoid alternating between demand and supply management, and between liberalism and interventionism.
Findings Structural problems, which are closely related to the institutional structure of production and the purpose and nature of production, cannot be solely attributed to the imbalance caused by market failures. Chinese economy has suffered prolonged structural contradictions and structural problems.
Originality/value To decide whether the financial and the real estate sectors are real economy or virtual economy, the key is to examine whether the monetary capital used in financial activities and real estate commodity (capital) go through the capital circulation process of from monetary capital to productive capital and further to commodity capital, and whether the capital gain is generated by the value appreciation of capital or the value transfer and distribution as a result of the transfer of ownership. With its emphasis on developing the real economy, the supply-side structural reform should foster both development of manufacturing, and parts of financial and real estate sectors that are the real economy.

"Modern campaign messages do not typically focus on a candidate's issue stances and policy proposals. Instead, campaigns use personal stories about candidates reveal greater narratives. Campaigns tell stories about their candidates to make their candidate more credible and likeable, essential first steps toward winning votes. Most studies of campaign advertising by political scientists have focused on the issue agendas of political campaigns, sharing the assumption that campaigns are about what candidates will do. As a result, political science has not sufficiently examined the role of candidate-centered characteristics in the campaign message development process. Candidate Centered Campaigns shows how voters assess candidates as they would a new neighbor or co-worker to determine much they like and trust this person. Only after establishing this trust will voters consider what the candidate's policy plans are, making candidate-based campaigns key to winning the vote. "--

Starting from a definition of altruism as situations in which a given actor sustains harm while another actor gains benefits, we compare the behaviors of respondents in relation to the members of three main groups of beneficiaries—refugees and asylum seekers, unemployed people, and people with disabilities—through the analysis of original survey data collected in eight European countries ( N ~ 16,000) in the TransSOL project. We investigate in particular the reasons why people act on behalf of each of these three groups without being a member of any of them or having close ties with any individuals in these groups. These respondents are compared with respondents who are members of these groups and/or have close ties with people within them so as to isolate the factors underlying individual-level altruistic behavior. Our results show that political altruism emerges out of a complex combination of factors and is not simply reducible to social structural positions, subjective feelings of attachment or resources, but is the result of the interaction of these influences and that these vary when looking at support for different social groups.
In California, special districts which provide agricultural customers with water supplies and service control the vast majority of water rights and contracts. The structure of these districts has been identified as an impediment to changing water management and distribution practices. This study explores how differences in the governance rules and political structures among these water-supply district "cooperatives" affect their management decisions. Most districts use either the common "universal suffrage / one-man, one vote" CPV) electoral system, such as irrigation districts, or a "land-owner enfranchised / assessed-value-weighted vote" (AVV) method, such as California water districts, to elect board members and to approve various tax and bond measures. AVV districts most closely mirror what would be used in an aggregate wealth-maximizing cooperative; PV districts distribute a greater amount of benefits to non-land-owners. As a result, PV district managers tend to rely less on water sales revenues and more on property-based taxes and assessments to fund district operations. In addition, PV districts tend to set district policies that encourage more local-input- ntensive crops such as orchards over field crops.
Abstract What explains the emergence and persistence of institutions aimed at preventing any ruling group from using the state apparatus to advance particularistic interests? To answer this recurring question, a burgeoning literature examines the establishment of power-sharing institutions in societies divided by ethnic or religious cleavages. Going beyond existing scholarly work focused on these specific settings, we argue that political power-sharing institutions can also be the result of common disputes within the economic elite. We propose that these institutions are likely to emerge and persist when competition between elite factions with dissimilar economic interests is balanced. To address the possibility of endogeneity between elite configurations and public institutions, we leverage natural resource diversity as an instrument for elite configurations. We show that, where geological resources are more diverse, competition between similarly powerful economic groups is more likely to emerge, leading ultimately to the establishment of power-sharing mechanisms that allow elite groups to protect their diverging economic interests.
