One of the core elements of universities applied sciences (UAS) is its connection with professional fields. Lecturers establish relationships with private organizations and guide students in internships, projects, assignments and towards graduation. In this role, lecturers are confronted with developments in their field of expertise, thereby deploying their networks of relationships through their social capital. From these relationships, a certain reciprocity is created, resulting in possibilities for mutual support. We interviewed UAS lecturers via email about these relationships and the importance they attach to them. The theory of social capital is used to analyse the interactions between lecturers and companies or organizations in the professional field. Above all, these lecturers expressed interest in students' learning processes and used social capital to achieve this aim, while indirectly recognizing its added value for the development of knowledge.

The purpose of the article is to consider role-playing in the process of foreign language training at technical universities. The introduced form of the educational process contributes to the formation of foreign language presentation skills in a professional field of a future engineer. A foreign language competence confirms a high competency of a specialist. Role-playing business situations in an educational process are carried out on the basis of an integrated approach where knowledge from the professional field is transferred to the game with the help of a foreign language. Methods of creating typical situations at work in the classroom contribute to the formation of a favorable environment for the development of business qualities and foreign language skills in a professional sphere. In the course of the research a three-stage structure of role-playing, its content in relation to the stated conditions are described. Difficulties that arise during the game and possible methods to overcome them are listed. It is concluded that role-playing related to the professional activities of future engineers motivate them to learn a foreign language and bring the learning process closer to real professional communication. The practical experience gained in the classroom will be a valuable experience for making a successful career in the field of engineering.

The authors aim to discuss the changes in the professional field of social work, the future scenarios and the role of social work in the future society, and to present the views of social workers themselves on the future and the expected changes. The authors provide an overview of the trends in the development of social work profesion and outline the important changes in the professional field based on litearture review. The paper presents a quantitative survey of social workers in Lithuania, which aimed to uncover their attitudes towards new developments, the impact of technology and social innovation, and the future competences of social work. The results of the study reveal that employees see changes in the field of social work, but that these changes are marginal. Not seeing change and a negative public perception of social work are also associated with a willingness to move to another field of work. Leadership and professionalism of managers and more cohesive teamwork would encourage staff to stay. The study did not show that working for any institution (municipal, governmental, non-governmental, etc.) determines social workers‘ attitudes. Social workers‘ attitudes and evaluations were more influenced by their demographics: place of residence, age, education, but even these correlations were rather weak. A large proportion of respondents were not familiar with the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD2030) or had only participated in a few sustainability initiatives, but the importance of innovations in social work practice was identified by 58% of respondents, compared to 72% of those aged between 18 and 35 years. When talking about the future competences of social work, the traditional micro-level competences of social work are highlighted: empathy, emotional intelligence, interpersonal communication and working with a group, less importance is attached to innovative, managerial or macro-level competences.

Education is widely recognized as a key ingredient in furthering society-wide sustainability transformation. Although there has been extensive research on higher education for sustainability, the qualitative outcomes of sustainability-focused education are less robustly interrogated. As more students graduate from sustainability-specific programmes, it should be asked: what kind of professionals are they and how do they operationalise sustainability at their work? This paper studied career paths and professionalism in the emerging professional field of sustainability, using semi-structured, in-depth interviews of 19 alumni of a master's level sustainability-specific programme. The interview results reveal that professionalism in sustainability is based on ideals that appear to oppose or conflict the norms and values of several fields in which sustainability is applied. The results also show that the professionals often face challenges in practising sustainability in the workplace but have found strategies to manage these challenges. Finally, the alumni suggested that the sustainability profession is poised between being a specialisation orientation in other recognised fields and a generalist approach that takes sustainability itself as the specialisation practicable in several different fields.

The article is motivated by the lack of studies which address silence as a context- dependent phenomenon; that is, as a phenomenon whose meaning arises within specific contexts, situations and physical spaces. Accordingly, I address the ways in which the phenomenon of silence plays an essential role in particular professional and vocational domains. The analysis leads through some thoughts and considerations of people who work or are active in specialized fields that have a significant connection with the practice and the experience of silence. I especially examine areas such as meditation, teaching, health professions, and other professional and even – to some extent – artistic practices.

The purpose of this research is to examine the association of narcissism facets with subjective and objective career success, as well as the impact of the professional field. Data from 282 employees of a German university – both scientists and administrative staff – who completed an online survey were analysed. Results showed a significant negative relationship between vulnerable narcissism and career success. The associations of the grandiose narcissism subfacets: grandiose exhibitionism and entitlement/exploitativeness, as well as vulnerable narcissism with subjective career success were affected by professional field. However, leadership/authority, the remaining subfacet of grandiose narcissism, was not associated with career success. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The project 'Developing E-Learning Capacities for Youth Mobility in Europe' (DELCYME) aims to develop a multilingual e-learning preparation program for the mobility of young adults (linguistic and intercultural preparation). Moreover, DELCYME aims to develop skills and know-how in organizations working in a non-formal context which oversee preparing the mobility activity. For these 31 months long project (Feb 2018 to Aug 2020) six organizations will be working together. DELCYME is coordinated by OFAJ (Offi ce Franco-Allemand pour la Jeunesse), which has a long experience in organizing mobility as well as developing tools for linguistic and intercultural preparation. Two partners are active in the non-formal language training sector (CAVILAM, CDC), one is an actor who actively hosts and sends abroad participants of mobility activities in Poland (SEMPER AVANTI) and two partners are universities which train language teachers for diff erent contexts (UCLM, CALCIF), who they will contribute a scientifi c perspective to the project. The following paper shows to what extent the PARKUR platform responds to how it is possible to combine under one umbrella and a single methodology the diff erent uses of language - everyday, business and professional specialty - those students of vocational training have to face on their journeys.

Social and economic polarization such as the collapse of self-employed people and job losses are becoming social problems due to the COVICD-19 crisis, and the role of social enterprises in providing social services to vulnerable people in various business sectors is very important. Social enterprises are complaining of difficulties in sustainability due to the hybrid nature of creating social value and economic value. Support for professionals matching the business sector of social enterprises is urgently needed for sustainability, but support for professionals is very insufficient due to insufficient budget. This study studied how specialized personnel affect the sustainability of social enterprises through the medium of social enterprise characteristics, indicating that specialized personnel affect the expansion and sustainability of the corporate main business sector. Based on the above findings, practical implications of social enterprise financial support projects were presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines the formation of different abbreviations in the science information vocabulary. The abbreviations are used in the current language of the Romanian language and in the terminology of linguistics with the generic sense of abbreviation of a word or group of words. Abbreviations are mainly used in writing. These are, as a rule, abbreviations of words that appear more often, being quite well known in their complete form. A number of rules for using abbreviations can be extracted from the last spelling dictionaries in science information vocabularies and different databases. Abbreviations of words are also added by communication through emoticons and it's a time when we do not know many of the abbreviations that appear in the contemporary era. In the information explosion that we are going through, with the emergence of information technologies, various abbreviations have emerged that can change over time. The problem of abbreviations and logos has been widely discussed by lexicologists who are not very sure to delimit the two nuances. The fact is we can has the following differentiation: the abbreviation is written but does not pronounce (vom always pronounce the whole word), while the logos are written and written pronounce. Another link we can make is that certain abbreviations can be transformed into logos, that is, those that have been formed starting from the initials of their own names. Other logos, due to their frequent use, lose what we call "Morphological field", their origin actually, which poses problems of understanding, especially for a stranger who does not find the necessary explanations in the dictionaries.

In this paper, we analyse 53 Dutch accreditation reports in the field of information technology to assess the mechanisms of the reported involvement of the professional field in the undergraduate programmes of universities of applied sciences. The results of qualitative content analysis reveal a coupling effect in reporting on mechanisms of interaction. Although the involvement of the professional field is tightly coupled with the undergraduate programmes at universities of applied sciences at the strategic level, there is an under-representation of university-industry interaction on an operational level, which suggests the need to explore the actual interaction taking place between the professional field and the programmes. Simultaneously, our results indicate that accreditation reports are not able to provide a holistic picture of professional field engagement in the curriculum of undergraduate programmes at the operational level, which questions their role in acknowledging the role of industry in shaping and achieving intended learning outcomes. Perhaps policymakers should consider introducing other tools or standards for addressing the outcome of the engagement and the responsiveness of the programmes at universities of applied sciences to the professional field.
