PARTNERSHIP WITH STUDENTS AS A FACTOR OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION’S PERFORMANCE AND COMPETITIVENESS by Veronica PRISACARU, Alina CARADJA

“…Due to the acute competition in the market of educational services, it is obvious that focusing on students' interests represents a factor of performance and, implicitly, of the competitiveness of each higher education institution. In this context, we can highlight the partnership with students as one of the most effective instruments, which can be used both to diagnose the problems of professional training and to solve them through joint efforts.This investigation is focused on the following objectives: a) assessing the quality of engagement with students in order to increase the effectiveness of vocational training in higher education institutions in the Republic of Moldova and b) experimenting with the method of partnership with students, evaluating the obtained results. …”

Jeunes chercheurs face aux exigences de disponibilité temporelle by María del Río Carral, Bernard Fusulier

“…Academia, defined as a greedy institution, enhances a specific symbolic figure of the researcher, that of an individual who is entirely dedicated to his/her work. Given the current context implying a strong competition for very few long-term positions, such an institutional demand is reinforced by the injunction imposed on researchers to increase their productivity in short periods of time and to become internationally mobile. …”

O potrzebie polityki teatralnej i barierach rozwoju teatru w Polsce by Joanna Szulborska-Łukaszewicz

“…Such problems result from, among others, the current formal and legal regulations in Poland. In context of the voices appearing increasingly more often within the public debate that demand a special theatre law and formulation of a theatre policy at the central level, while also referring to the branch debate that took place in March 2024 at the Jan Kochanowski Theatre in Opole, the author wonders what determines the theatre’s success. …”

Use of filtration and electricity analogy in simulation of underflooding protection in urban construction by V. I. Sologaev

“…The methodology for complex calculation and modelling of the joint processes of water filtration in soils, the flow of electric current and electroosmotic filtration can find useful application in the development of effective protection against underflooding in urban construction. a sequence of algorithmic modelling steps is recommended. initially, it is recommended to run rough spreadsheet simulations on personal computers and mobile phones. next, a different modelling approach should be applied. based on the initial rough models of the previous step, it is necessary to write the algorithms in the programming language. the compiled model of the investigated filtration and electroosmosis processes will significantly increase the reliability of the design of protection against underflooding.conclusion. a comparison is made of the joint use of construction dewatering means of different physical essence, with simultaneous processes of gravitational filtration of underground water and passing a direct electric current through the drained soil, which causes an additional effect of electroosmosis. it is proposed to apply in a new way the analogy of water filtration and electric current in order to achieve more effective results of engineering activities by modeling protection against underflooding of building areas, ensuring the safety of urban construction when the level of groundwater rises.…”
