Ж. Баласагына, Кыргызстан, E-mail: [email protected] Сегодня система высшего образования Кыргызской Республики характеризуется многообразием предоставляемых образовательных услуг и интернационализацией образовательного пространства. В аудиториях сидят студенты из разных стран, которые являются носителями различных социокультурных традиций, религиозных верований и молодежной субкультуры. По данным Министерства образования и науки КР в 2008 году в вузах Кыргызстана обучались представители из 25 тысяч студентов из стран СНГ, 2,5 тысяч из стран дальнего зарубежья. Большинство студентов, а именно 54% обучаются в вузах г. Ош, 24% в вузах г. Бишкек. К странам дальнего зарубежья, откуда приезжают студенты относятся: Турция, Индия, Сирия, Афганистан, Пакистан, Китай, Монголия, Непал [7]. В 2016 году одобрены и подписаны соглашения о различных формах и видах сотрудничества в области образования и науки с такими зарубежными странами, как Катар, Грузия, Венгрия, Латвия, Туркменистан. Как отмечают исследователи, Н.Б. Бийарсаланов, Нурбек Жениш «В Кыргызстане существует сильная политическая поддержка интернационализации сектора высшего образования» [1,5], что влияет на расширение поликультурной среды. Доказательством тому служить то, что в настоящее время помимо кыргызстанцев в вузах Кыргызстана обучаются 11868 иностранных граждан. В общей структуре контингента наибольшее количество студентов из Индии (3850 чел. или 32 % от общего числа), из Республики Казахстан (2946 чел. или 24%). На такие страны как Таджикистан (1429 чел.), Россия (1158), Турция (764), Пакистан (500), Узбекистан (446) приходится от 5 до 12 % от общего числа иностранных граждан. Большим спросом у иностранных студентов пользуется медицинское направление, в частности, наибольшее количество студентов обучаются в МВШМ МУК (2563 чел.), ОшГУ (более 1000 чел.), КГМА им. И. Ахунбаева (806 чел.). Также лидерами по количеству иностранных студентов являются КРСУ (1612 чел.), КТУ «Манас»

Tomko Dr. Anthea Kraut Copyright Natalie Zervou 2015 The Dissertation of Natalie Zervou is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments This dissertation is the result of four years of intensive research, even though I have been engaging with this topic and the questions discussed here long before that. Having been born in Greece, and having lived there till my early twenties, it is the place that holds all my childhood memories, my first encounters with dance, my friends, and my family. From a very early age I remember how I always used to say that I wanted to study dance and then move to the US to pursue my dream. Back then I was not sure what that dream was, other than leaving Greece, where I often felt like I did not belong. Being here now, in the US, I think I found it and I must admit that when I first begun my pursuit in graduate studies in dance, I was very hesitant to engage in research concerning Greece.

  • Through People Like Me - Mass Anthem
    Through People Like Me - Mass Anthem Mass Anthem is a Christian pop band originally from the Chicagoland area now located in Nashville, TN. The trio is comprised of brothers, Chad and Tyler Sowards, as well as Joey Atansio. Their debut album 'ALIVE' was released in June 2014 followed by their Single 'To Get To Me' in April 2016 and 'The Real Me' in January 2017. Their second full-length Independent album entitled "Through People Like Me" is set to release June 2, 2017. "We hope this new album will capture our creativity and energy that we want to bring to the stage," says Tyler. "Our goal is to create a diverse album of fun, energetic music with lyrics that will encourage people to live a life for Someone greater than themselves." Ben Calhoun, lead singer of popular Christian band Citizen Way, has been a major catalyst of Mass Anthem since its' founding, involved in much of the writing and producing of Mass Anthems latest singles. "Having Ben has been such a blessing to us. He's taught us so much about the music industry and given us opportunities we wouldn't have otherwise had," says Chad, lead singer of the group. Mass Anthem relocated to Nashville, TN in pursuit of signing with a major Record Label in 2016, and has high hopes that the coming album will launch them to the next level. "It's been amazing making new connections with writers and promoters since moving to Nashville. We know we are taking steps in the right direction and are so excited for what the future holds," says Chad.

CONTENTS ISSUE 21, JULY 2017 8 Predictably inaccurate: The prevalence and perils of bad big data By John Lucker, Susan K. Hogan, and Trevor Bischoff When big data contains bad data, it can lead to big problems for organizations that use that data to build and strengthen relationships with consumers. Here are some ways to manage the risks of relying too heavily—or too blindly—on big data sets. Future of work 26 Navigating the future of work: Can we point business, workers, and social institutions in the same direction? By John Hagel, Jeff Schwartz, and Josh Bersin From the individual 9-to-5 workday to how entire industries function, work is changing faster than ever. Big shifts threaten to create massive societal and economic disruption unless we look seriously at making the future of work productive and rewarding for everyone. 46 Meet the US workforce of the future: Older, more diverse, and more educated By Patricia Buckley and Daniel Bachman An analysis of shifting workforce demographics suggests that the future American labor force, even as it becomes more heavily weighted toward older workers, is getting more diverse and more educated than ever.

  • The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us in Suffering
    “Vaneetha writes with creativity, biblical faithfulness, com- pelling style, and an experiential authenticity that draws other sufferers in. Here you will find both a tested life and a love for the sovereignty of a good and gracious God.” —JOHN PIPER, author of Desiring God; founder and teacher, desiringGod.org “The Scars That Have Shaped Me will make you weep and rejoice not just because it brims with authenticity and integrity, but because every page points you to the rest that is found in entrusting your life to one who is in complete control and is righteous, powerful, wise, and good in every way.” —PAUL TRIPP, pastor, author, international conference speaker “I could not put this book down, except to wipe my tears. Reading Vaneetha’s testimony of God’s kindness to her in pain was exactly what I needed; no doubt, many others will feel the same. The Scars That Have Shaped Me has helped me process my own grief and loss, and given me renewed hope to care for those in my life who suffer in various ways. Reveling in the sovereign grace of God in your pain will bolster your faith like nothing this world can offer, and Vaneetha knows how to lead you to this living water.” —GLORIA FURMAN, author of Missional Motherhood and Alive in Him “When we are suffering significantly, it’s hard to receive truth from those who haven’t been there. But Vaneetha Risner’s credibility makes us willing to lean in and listen. Her writing is built on her experience of deep pain, and in the midst of that her rugged determination to hold on to Christ.” —NANCY GUTHRIE, author of Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow “I have often wondered how Vaneetha Risner endures suffering with such amazing joy, grace, and perseverance.
