Broad Research in June, 2021 Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience Volume 12, Issue 2 Introduction As the number of people with special educational needs, especially children, in developed countries is increasing, disability prevention and social problems solution have become the national priorities of these countries. The problem of education of children and youth with special educational needs has always been the most complicated problem for the society. Nowadays, inclusive education is supposed to solve it, as it recognizes the necessity to meet the various demands and abilities of children and youth with special educational needs, including differences in ways and tempo of learning. This goal is achieved be means of individualized teaching methods, adapted curricula and individually selected learning support materials. Inclusive education is a necessary condition for active adaptation, socialization and development of students with special educational needs. Inclusion is considered to be a process of increasing the participation of people with special educational needs in social life, and inclusive education is defined as a system of educational services based on the principle of ensuring the basic right of children to education and the right to receive it at the place of residence at secondary education institution which is adjusted to the needs of all students (Sophii, 2008). The success of the inclusive education implementation largely depends on the interpersonal relationships in the student group. Starting their studying, students begin a new independent life, which is an integral part of the higher education institution where they study and the group which the belong to. The new relationships, formed in the group, are based on the commitment or unfriendliness of some students to others, which can lead to conflicts. The term "conflict" means "collision". Conflict arises when people begin to realize that their interests, needs, goals can not be met if the existing system of social relations is maintained, and begin to act trying to change the situation (Tiuptya, 2008). A number of scientists studied some aspects of involvement of children and youth with special educational needs into studying at regular educational institutions, their rehabilitation and socialization to social rules: (Kolupaeva et al., 2012; Talanchuk et al., 2004; Chaikovsky, 2016). The problem of causes and ways of resolving conflicts in inclusive classrooms and inclusive student groups was covered by the studies of Volchelyuk (2010), Lavrinenko (2017), Popeliushko, (2019) and Romanovska & Vasylenko (2020). 2 Socio-Psychological Features of Students with Special Educational Needs as a … Valentyna AFANASENKO, et al. The important role of teachers in the inclusive education implementation and solving all related problems is discussed in the works of the following researchers: Mâţă & Clipa (2020); Bezliudnyi et al. (2020); Frumos (2020); Sălceanu (2020). Thus, Mâţă & Clipa (2020) argue that it is extremely important to study the attitude of teachers to the integration of students with special educational needs in secondary schools. This will help to identify appropriate measures of influence to establish a relationship based on mutual trust and support of equal learning opportunities for all the educational process participants. If teachers have a positive attitude towards an inclusive school, they become more open to adapting and changing teaching methods to meet the needs of students with special educational needs. Chaikovsky (2016) stresses that inclusive education is closely interrelated with the integration process of people with special educational needs into the social and educational environment, which is defined as the normalization of social life and educational opportunities in accordance with international and Ukrainian legal acts. However, one of the most important aspects of the inclusive education implementation in higher education institutions is the inclusive competence of higher education teachers. The author defines it as a relatively independent part of general professional competence; integrative personal education, which determines the ability to perform educational functions in the inclusive education process, in particular to meet the educational needs of students with special educational needs, their socio-pedagogical adaptation in the educational environment, to create all conditions for their development. The works of Bezliudnyi et al. (2020) concluded that current researches on inclusive education focus mainly on the following aspects: identifying the peculiarities of interaction between primary school teachers and students’ parents in inclusive practice; the requirements and the role of the teacher who works with students with special educational needs; behavior of parents of students with special educational needs. The authors believe that future teachers must be specially trained in various aspects of inclusive practice. Unfortunately, the theoretical and applied aspects of such training are insufficiently developed, which indicates a certain inefficiency of teacher training for the inclusive education implementation. A Romanian scientist (Frumos, 2020) believes that

Valérie Huyghe Woord vooraf the-sis-sen (thesiste, heeft gethesist): alle activiteit gerelateerd aan het schrijven van een proefschrift. De laatste twee jaar heb ik heel vaak “gethesist”. Soms met tegenzin, maar meestal met een enorme gedrevenheid om zoveel mogelijk universiteiten te laten deelnemen aan mijn onderzoek en vervolgens zo goed mogelijk de resultaten neer te pennen. Het thema trok me reeds in het begin heel erg aan wegens haar internationaal karakter. Mede door mijn Erasmusjaar in Italië heb ik gedurende mijn studies mijn horizonten verruimd en ben ik zeer geboeid door culturele verschillen in Europa (en wereldwijd). Bovendien is duurzaamheid en MVO een thema dat steeds meer aan belang wint, zeker in een stad als Gent. Mede hierdoor kon ik geboeid dagenlang “thesissen”. Vervolgens had ik graag enkele personen willen bedanken. Vooreerst bedank ik mijn promotor, Prof. Dr. Yves Fassin.

The submitting organisations welcome the opportunity to contribute to the third cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Ukraine. This submission focuses on Ukraine’s compliance with its international human rights obligations, in particular in respect to the right to freedom of expression and information. 2. The submission notes positive progress in protecting these rights since Ukraine’s last review, related to reforms implemented by the Poroshenko government, in power since 2014 following popular protests and the fall of the Yanukovych government. 3. It addresses the following areas of concern: • Attacks on journalists, media workers and activists • Media pluralism • Restrictions on freedom of expression related to national security • Access to public information • Freedom of expression in Crimea and the Donbas Attacks on journalists, media workers and activists 4. Ukraine accepted recommendations from Austria, Chile and France on improving protections for journalists during their last UPR. There has been progress in this regard: the Institute for Mass Information reported a decline in the number of violations of journalistic rights, encompassing physical assaults, other forms of censorship and restricting access to information, from 496 to 264 during the period 2013-2016.1 This includes a significant decline in the number of assaults and beatings cases, from 97 instances in 2013 to 31 cases in 2016.

Social factors of failures have been divided into external and internal ones. The main external one lies in the imperialist politics of the Russian Federation exploiting the existence of the "homo sovieticus'' and a large Russian-speaking minority in Ukraine. Internal factors are divided into the ones related to identity problems of Ukrainian citizens (ethnic diversity and, again, "homo sovieticus") and those resulting from the weakness of political elites, which, for almost the past quarter of a century have not been able to lead to the creation of even the initial phase of a civil society in Ukraine. Keywords: system transformation, society, Ukraine 5 Introduction The objective of the paper is to show the main socially determined reasons for the hitherto failure of the transformation process in Ukraine.

  • Intellectuals' and Artists' Responses to the Ukraine
    When the Muses are not Silent: Intellectuals’ and Artists’ Responses to the Ukraine- Russia Conflict and post-Maidan Developments in Ukraine Convened by Yuliya Yurchuk (Prisma Ukraïna Visiting Fellow 2018) The workshop is dedicated to the question of the position of intellectuals in Ukraine in relation to the war in the east of the country and specifically to the role of historians, writers, and artists with regard to the production of discourses on the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the post-Maidan situation in Ukraine. After the end of the mass protests in 2014, new tendencies can be observed in the formation of new discourses in political, intellectual and artistic fields. Intellectuals and artists face a difficult and (not already) theoretical question on whether they can stay neutral and detached from turbulences that shatter the worlds they are living in. Many scholars, media specialists, writers and artists took open activist position and became active participants in the military conflict. Even if they do not participate directly in the battlefields many of them see their professional activities as weapons in the war which is often described as the “war of narratives”, “hybrid war,” or “information war”. The workshop brings together scholars of different disciplines who give fresh insights on the situation in Ukraine, from both national and local perspectives, taking into account different actors in the field of politics, academic history, media, and art. 9:30 – Welcome and Introduction (Yuliya Yurchuk, Andrii Portnov, Ewa Dąbrowska) 10:00 – 11:00 Session 1.
