University students' barriers to managing mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative exploration
Authors: Nurdiyanto F. A. , Goszal Irene Miracle Philian , Harjanti Enggar Putri
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic and its mitigation efforts are associated with increased student mental health problems such as anxiety, stress, isolation, and lack of motivation. When left untreated, these conditions could affect students' well-being, academic achievement, social relations, and quality of life. This study aimed to explore university students' barriers to managing mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic using an explorative qualitative approach. A total of 310 students from various regions in Indonesia were recruited by purposive sampling. Data was collected by distributing qualitative questionnaires through a Google form containing informed consent, demographic data, and open-ended questions. Thematic analysis was applied to identify the patterns of the meaning of students' barriers. The barriers experienced by students in managing mental health during the pandemic are a lack of support from their closest people, restricted mobility, stigmatization, and individual characteristics. The results show support from family and closest friends is essential for managing students' mental health, especially when there is limited access to mobility and social interaction. Additionally, adaptability and disclosure are also seen to be crucial for students in managing their mental health. This study suggests a campaign for mental health literacy and providing accessible mental health services for students in crisis.

Subcooled liquid boiling makes it possible to remove extremely high heat flux densities (tens, and under certain conditions even hundreds of MW/m2). This method is used for cooling rocket nozzles, in metallurgy, in thermonuclear power and special installations (cooling of beam targets), pulsed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) installations. However, the calculations of this process are based on purely empirical correlations. The lack of experimental data on the characteristics of bubbles (size evolution, life time, formation frequency) hinders the development of mathematical models and calculation methods.

The paper presents a program developed in the Python 3.10 environment for automated processing of high-speed video recordings of the evolution of a single bubble during boiling of a subcooled liquid. Comparison of frame processing, carried out «manually» and with the help of the developed program, showed a fairly high agreement between the results. The developed method makes it possible to significantly reduce the time spent on processing the experimental material and to include a significantly larger array of experimental data in the analysis.

The paper presents the thermographic studies of unsteady heat fluxes behind a plane shock wave in the rectangular 24x48 mm shock tube test section. Consecutive panoramic visualization of the heat fluxes plots on streamlined walls after the plane shock wave interaction with a rectangular obstacle fixed on the channel wall are obtained. The duration of the recorded thermal processes is up to 40 milliseconds after the shock wave passage. The heating and cooling of the test chamber walls streamlined by supersonic flow are visualized using the Telops FAST M200 high-speed infrared camera (operating range 1.5 – 5.1 microns) through the quartz windows transparent to infrared radiation. Visualization of the thermal fields were compared with the shadow images and results of 2D numerical simulation of a nonstationary gas dynamic process after the diffraction of a shock wave with Mach numbers M=2.0-4.5.

Components of optoelectronic devices installed in aircrafts and space vehicles experience significant mechanical loads during their operation. Excessive and cyclic loads may lead to the defect growth or the fatigue failure. In this paper, we describe a non-destructive imaging technique for stress mapping in anisotropic crystalline materials during bench test. The technique is based on Mueller-matrix imaging and the material photoelasticity. The results of experimental studies for two observation directions coinciding with different crystallographic axes of TeO2 are presented. Main limitations and further potential development of the technique are discussed.

Published: September 2023

The subject of the study is a strategic course for forest policy, designed to bring the Russian forest sector of the economy out of crisis. The purpose of the work is to determine the vector of improvement of strategic installations of the forest complex. For this purpose, the integrity of the relationship between the existing key provisions of the regulations governing the functioning of the forest complex was assessed, and the concept of the long-term plans being developed was determined. The relevance of the work is due to the need to develop approaches to creating an adequate conceptual framework for forest policy against the background of the aggravated problems of rational forest management in real economic activity as a basis for further adjustments in the work on the periodic change of the strategic course aimed at overcoming the crisis state of the Russian forest sector of the economy. The conducted research made it possible to substantiate the expediency of developing a conceptual framework for streamlining goal-setting to solve existing problems, since it is impossible to achieve established strategic goals without fundamentally stated priorities. It is concluded that in order to increase the efficiency of forest management and ensure the rationality of forest management, it is necessary to build the actions of the state, business and society in a reasonable compromise of the actors.
National Projects of Russia as an Image Management Problem
Authors:   Financial University,  Moscow, Russia, Kupriyanova L.M.
Published: September 2023

The subject of the study is the image of Russia's national projects in the media space. The relevance of the article lies in the fact that national projects developed in the mid-2010s, which were initially perceived by Russian citizens with enthusiasm and great interest, began to lose their image appeal after the financial crises and the coronavirus pandemic, causing problems in the implementation of reforms. The purpose of the work is to develop measures for image support of national projects, which assume as effects from their implementation not only an increase in the loyalty of the population to the implementation of large—scale economic projects of the authorities, but also obtaining an economic effect. It was revealed that the leading socio-political media of the country publish from 500 to 1000 materials per year with the keyword "national project", while the most frequent words used in oppositional media are the words — failure, corruption, poverty, violations, deadlock, officials, and in publications loyal to the government — results, indicators, control, methods, problem, solution. It is established that the greatest discursive indicators are observed in such national projects as "Safe and high-quality roads", "Health care", "Demography", "Education", "Housing". It is noteworthy that in the entire media field of the country, the most media-visible characters are the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin (26%) and the heads of Russian regions, while at the level of federal ministries only Prime Minister M.V. Mishustin is mentioned.

Authors:   Financial University,  Moscow, Russia, Pomulev A.A.
Published: September 2023

The subject of the study is the evaluation of the effectiveness of an investment project when making a decision on investing in it. The relevance of the work lies in the fact that in the conditions of sanctions pressure on Russia, the importance of state support for the investment activity of counterparties increases significantly. However, there are difficulties with an objective assessment of the effectiveness of investment projects when deciding whether to finance them. In the Russian Federation, there is a fairly broad practice of supporting projects at various levels, which has led to the emergence of a large number of regulatory documents that are sometimes not harmonized with each other and contain incomplete criteria for their evaluation, which ultimately leads to a decrease in entrepreneurial activity. The objectives of the work are a critical analysis of regulatory and methodological documents used to evaluate investment projects with state support and to develop proposals for improving the criteria for evaluating projects taking into account industry specifics (for example, the real estate sector). The scientific novelty of the research consists in the development of a rating methodology for evaluating an investment project in real estate, which allows for a point assessment of the effectiveness of the project as a whole, taking into account the business reputation and financial condition of the initiator of the project. Approaches to the evaluation of investment projects with the participation of the state are classified. Criteria have been developed for evaluating real estate projects, which can be used as the basis of a rating methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of investment projects. It is concluded that the methodology developed by the author makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the project taking into account its economic, social and environmental significance.

Predictors of Cannabis Use Among Canadian University Students
Authors: Llewelyn-Williams Jessica , Mykota David
Published: September 2023

Objective: To examine the correlates between cannabis use, motives to use, related psychosocial outcomes and academic behaviours among a sample of Canadian university students. Methods: A random sample of 6,000 students who were enrolled in at least one class and were 18 years or over were asked to complete a cross-sectional online survey. Of the 920 students that responded, 478 (ages 18-55; mean age = 25.02, SD = 5.95) identified as having used cannabis within the past six months and thus were included as participants in the current study. Participants completed a battery of measures designed to examine cannabis use and associated constructs (i.e., substance use risk, personal well-being, non-specific psychological distress, academic behaviours, and motivations for use). Results: Among the participants, 31% (n = 148) were found to be frequent (i.e., hazardous) users. Using cannabis for enhancement, coping, expansion, sleep difficulties, and conformity purposes, as well as impulsive personality traits were found to be predictors of cannabis use severity, with the enhancement motive identified as the strongest predictor for the total sample, males, and hazardous users. The coping motive was the strongest predictor for females, and impulsivity was the strongest predictor for non-hazardous users. Conclusion: Findings will help inform the development of campus guidelines for lower risk cannabis use. Information gleaned from this study will also provide important information for those that use cannabis, policymakers, and health care providers in considering optimal personal use, prevention, and intervention plans.

Authors: Anggraini Wiwit , Rousdy Diah Wulandari , Wardoyo Elvi Rusmiyanto Pancaning
Published: September 2023

Paracetamol metabolism takes place in the liver mediated by CYP450 enzymes and generates NAPQI radicals. The NAPQI radical is highly electrophilic to hepatocyte biomolecules and is therefore capable of inducing liver damage. Laban tree bark (V. pubescens) methanol extract is known to contain antioxidant compounds of flavonoids, saponins, and tannins with an IC50 value of 19.83 g/ml. This study aims to determine the optimal dose of extract that can improve the liver microanatomy of mice induced by toxic dose of paracetamol (TDP). This study used 30 male Swiss strain mice with a body weight of 20-30 g. The treatments given consisted of negative control (paracetamol 105 mg kg-1), positive control (vitamin E 46.8 mg kg-1), and laban extract at a dose of 75; 150; 300; 600 mg kg-1 BW. Liver microanatomy parameters measured included hepatocyte diameter (19.50±0.21 µm), sinusoids (4.39±0.23 µm), and central vein (36.84 ± 1.79 µm). Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test further test was then presented in the form of mean ± standard deviation. The results showed that extract at a dose of 600 mg kg-1 had hepatocyte, sinusoid, and central vein diameters that were not significantly different (p>0.05) with vitamin E.

Published: September 2023

Decreased water quality in red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture indicates that low dissolved oxygen availability will affect fish behavior. One of the efforts to improve water quality is through the addition of aerators and filters. Aerators and filters increase the supply of dissolved oxygen and minimize feed waste in the aquaculture pond water. This study aims to analyze of different aeration and filtration or a combination of the daily behavior patterns of tilapia including eating behavior, aggressive behavior. The study was conducted for 1 month.This study used 24 red tilapia with a length of about 8-12 cm. The research design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatment groups and 6 replications. The treatments were ANF group (use of single aerator without filter), AANF group (use of dual aerator without filter), AF group (use of single aerator with filter), and group AAF (use of dual aerator with filter). The data collected includes the daily behavior of red tilapia and water quality. Analysis of the daily eating, aggressive and comfortable behavior of red tilapia was carried out by observing video recordings and recording behavior recording techniques at intervals of 1-2 minutes based on duration and frequency. The results showed that the use of different aerators and filters or their combination had a significantly different effect (P<0,05) on the daily behavior of red tilapia. The conclusion of this study was the raising used of multiple aerators and filters can improve the quality of aquaculture water so that it has a positive impact on feeding, foraging, and schooling behavior in the growth phase of tilapia. Key words: quality water, aerator, filterd, aily behavior

Authors: Warella Juen Carla
Published: September 2023

Prevention of environmental damage can be done by recycling household waste both organic and inorganic. One of them is by making eco-enzymes made from banana peel waste which is found in the environment. This study aims to determine the level of respondents' liking based on organoleptic test variables. This research method is an experiment that includes making eco-enzymes, and organoleptic tests consisting of aroma, color and texture variables. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative descriptive way by looking at the level of respondents' liking. The results showed that the average respondent chose a brown color with a percentage of 90%, yellow 7%, and colorless 3%. The scent variable respondents chose sour odor by 70% and other aromas 30%. While the texture of all respondents chose the composition of liquid eco-enzyme. This is due to the metabolic activity of microorganisms that result in the breakdown of substrates by bacteria resulting in changes in the aroma, color and texture of banana peels. The conclusion of this study is that the use of banana peel as the basic ingredient for making eco-enzyme affects the respondents' level of liking. Eco-enzyme can be used as a natural fertilizer for plant growth and can reduce household waste.

Mental retardation is one of the most common mental development disorders in children. According to various data, about 3% of preschool children have developmental disorders of the delay type. In addition, it is difficult to establish the number of children with cognitive developmental features who do not have an established diagnosis. Such children enter the system of general education, including preschool, where they face the need to learn English. Some experts insist that due to the specifics of mental development, the study of foreign languages should be postponed until the time of normalization of higher mental functions. However, as demonstrated in the article, the study of a foreign language already at the senior preschool age can be quite successful. And not just to form a child’s skills in a new language, but also to say favorably on the development of cognitive skills in general. The paper shows that despite the low level of readiness to learn English, subject to certain rules and recommendations, taking into account the specifics of the structure of the mental retardation defect, creating special educational conditions, children with mental retardation can successfully learn English. It also presents the program for teaching English speaking skills (elementary skills of monologue and dialogic speech) for children of senior preschool age with developmental delay. The program was implemented by the group of children attending kindergarten; the results of the implementation are also presented in the article. The results were obtained that children of senior preschool age with mental retardation are able to successfully master elementary speaking skills (elementary skills of monologue and dialogical speech) in English with a special organization of the educational process within the framework of the preschool educational institution.
SPECIFICS OF PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS ATTITUDES TOWARD THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors:   Russian Academy of Education Psychological Institute, Konchalovskaya Margarita M.
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the lives of all people on the planet. It contributed to the digitalization of everyday life, which affected the work of the adult generation and the studies of schoolchildren and students, as well as even leisure activities. The profession of a psychologist involves a wide range of communications, what under the circumstances impels to use online services in their work. The study involved 60 respondents aged 18 to 22 years. Among them were students of the Faculty of Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology of the Moscow State Pedagogical University. A new questionnaire was used with standard answers within the Leuckart scale about attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic, communication during a pandemic, and distance learning. Psychology students demonstrated a high readiness to switch to a remote format of study and work, if necessary. The results of the study confirmed that the majority of psychology students have a responsible attitude towards the COVID-19 pandemic. It may be due to the fact that they are studying at a pedagogical university and they are influenced by the professional environment. Only a third of the respondents show nihilistic views regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, it was shown that there is a direct relationship between the nature of the attitude towards the pandemic and the willingness to switch to distance learning. Students who have demonstrated a responsible attitude towards the pandemic also have a positive attitude towards distance learning. On the contrary, students who had a nihilistic attitude towards the disease, respectively, show a negative attitude towards online learning. That was probably because the respondents who showed a responsible attitude to the COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be more adaptive and able to gain positive experience from a stressful life situation.

Published: September 2023

The article presents results of a research in social experiences of young men and women studying at pedagogical universities in Russia and China during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic (N = 163). The authors demonstrated and empirically substantiated sociocultural differences in empathic response, as well as emotional sensitivity to social phenomena and aesthetic standards as signs for the formation of social experiences in adolescence. Russian young men and women demonstrate a higher level of empathic response (the difference values according to the Mann–Whitney U test are statistically significant), while Chinese students are characterized by a pronounced emotional involvement and a differentiated emotional assessment of socio-psychological phenomena (the difference values according to the Pearson chi-squared test are statistically significant). It is stated that relevant categories connected with self-image and understandings of sociopsychological phenomena become the emotional personality representations of Russian and Chinese student youth. That is most clearly expressed in emotionally sensitive periods of social upheavals, crises, and pandemics.

Published: September 2023

The work presents results of the study in the relationship between levels of the brain structures development, carried out by using neuropsychological methods and features of moral development from the standpoint of self-regulation in preschool age. Differences in rates between boys and girls are analysed. Experimental tests «Bitter candy» were implemented according to the model of A.N. Leontiev and «Marshmallows experiment» according to the model of W. Mishel. Significant positive connections were found between confidence in the need to comply with moral norms and the level of maturity of certain neurostructures: orientation; adequacy; criticality; holding and playing the program; evaluation and reproduction of rhythmic structures; reencryption of the perceived image. Significant correlations were found between compliance with the norms in the real experimental situation (“Bitter candy” test) and the criticality indicator. The indicators of regulation of behavior in a situation of group compliance with the rule set by adults turned out to be significantly related to the level of awareness of the need to comply with conventional norms and the level of differentiation between conventional and moral norms. In addition, a mature, relative to age, lateralization became a neuropsychological predictor of high indicators of differentiation of moral and conventional norms. Analysis of the features of the studied indicators in boys and girls revealed significant differences in the maturity of the brain zones (neuropsychological indicators) and in the level of compliance with the externally specified rule, as well as in the level of self-control in preschool age. In terms of differences in the level of moral development, the hypothesis was not confirmed

Published: September 2023

The article deals in the issues of regional specifics in the marital and family behavior of Kazakhstanis, especially in the southern regions of the country. The authors note, that the Republic of Kazakhstan is the ninth largest state in the world with a multi-ethnic population. At the same time, the density and ethnic composition of the population are unevenly distributed, which affects the features of marriage and family behavior of Kazakhstanis. On the basis of official statistics, as well as data from secondary analysis of sociological studies, the authors analyze such indicators as: marriage rate, divorce rate, age of marriage, attitudes to civil marriages, having many children and others. The data also allows tracking the changes, as well as compare the situation in the south of the country with that in other regions. The study shows that there are differences in the marital and family behavior of Kazakhstanis depending on the region of residence. In particular, the Comparative analysis demonstrates that indicators of the marriage, divorce, age of marriage and the number of children in many ways distinguish the Southern region from other parts of Kazakhstan. These and other characteristics caused by geographical and socio-demographic features indicate the need for differentiated approaches in the implementation of public policy and the activities of public organizations.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Kuramina Natal’ya V.
Published: September 2023

The paper is a review of scientific literature on the issues of the history and modern development of the abroad Russian schools, published in Russia mainly during the previous five years. The author considers several main historiographic complexes: generalizing studies in the field of the history of the Russian abroad in the 20th – 21st centuries, which touch upon the topic of education and upbringing; works on the history of education and pedagogy of Russian emigration in the 1920s – 1980s; publications on the formation and development of the Russian school abroad in the post-Soviet period. To date, the world of education and enlightenment of the Russian post-revolutionary emigration of the 1920s – 1940s in Europe and China has been most deeply studied. To a much lesser extent, the topic of the abroad Russian schools in the second half of the 20th – early 21st centuries is reflected in the scientific literature, including the development of education in Russian in the post-Soviet states. The article notes the demand for studying the issues of the Russian school abroad in the humanitarian scientific community of Russia, which is due to the influence of geopolitical processes in the early 2020s on the world of the Russian abroad, including its educational institutions, and the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of supporting the Russian school abroad. Following the review a conclusion is made that there is a significant potential for scientific research of the Russian school abroad in the period of the second half of the 20th – early 21st century.
FEATURES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN THE SCO MEMBER STATES (BY THE EXAMPLE OF CHINA)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Romanova Ekaterina A.
Published: September 2023

After many years of development, the global energy transformation has moved from a period of initial accumulation to a period of comprehensive build-up, which contributes to the accelerated evolution and reconstruction of the global energy and industrial system. The energy revolution in China is on the rise: the country has already formed a multi-purpose supply system. China is now well positioned to accelerate the transformation in the field of alternative energy. However, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient use is still relevant for Celestial Empire (China). The level of modernization of the national production chain, as well as its security, needs to be improved, and building a modern power system has both advantages and clear disadvantages. Over the past few years, China has been actively promoting the development and use of “green energy”. The 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) is the first Five-Year Plan for the People’s Republic of China, from which a new path for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist state begins. As part of that plan, the goal of achieving carbon neutrality in China by 2060 was also put forward. The direction of energy development of the “14th Five-Year Plan” is of decisive importance, which will directly affect the medium and long-term trends of China’s economic and social development.
LEGAL BASIS OF THE REFORM LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT IN MOLDOVA (1994-2023)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Sharueva Marina V.
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the legal foundations of the local government reform in Moldova since 1994 up to the present time. The author states that positive and negative experience of Moldova in the field of municipal governing reform deserves special attention of scientific community, as the reform is implemented amidst the unsolved territorial and political issues and realization of the course for Euro-integration. The article consecutively considers the main landmarks in the process of building the Moldovan statehood, and assesses the activities of superior authorities in the context of the municipal reform. It is pointed out that immediately after gaining independence, the highest power structures proclaimed a pro-Western course of further development, the essence of which was an active striving for membership in the European Union. It is noted that while carrying out reforms, including construction of the new local self-government system, European models and standards of development were used, including at the legislative level, but the process of effective introducing such models and standards was hindered by the specifics of post-Soviet political and economic development of Moldova. The influence of the “ Romanianization” of the country on reforms is studied particularly. The author concludes by stating, that the desire of national political elite to retain power and financial resources in their hands had a eminently negative impact on the formation of post-Soviet local self-government system in Moldova and points out that the development of local self-government system is still considered by Moldovan authorities not as one of the tools of modernization of national governance system, but as a burden, a liability, necessary for accession to the European Union.

Published: September 2023

The fashion industry e-commerce has witnessed a remarkable increase in market, leading to significant changes in online consumer behaviour. Consequently, research in the field of consumer online behaviour in the fashion industry has become highly relevant for marketers and online retailers. It is essential for fashion-industry e-commerce businesses to gain a deeper understanding of the barriers that hinder customers from making online purchases, comprehend the mechanisms of these barriers, and their role in making purchase decisions. This study aims to provide an overview and analysis of the barriers to online purchase in the fashion industry e-commerce, classify these barriers and determine the role that each barrier plays in making a purchase decision. The research methodology involves both qualitative and quantitative research methods, including the collection of secondary and primary descriptive data. The research approach included empirical and theoretical research levels with the application of abstraction, analysis, synthesis, deduction methods, and consumer surveys. The study identified five main groups of barriers to online purchase in the fashion industry e-commerce, which are technological barriers, privacy and financial risk barriers, barriers related to the limitations of the online shopping process, delivery-related barriers, and barriers linked to difficulties in returning goods. After surveying 147 respondents, mean values, median, standard deviation, skewness, and variance were calculated for each barrier. Additionally, a two-dimensional bar chart was designed to display the barriers and their mean values, organized in the order from the ones with the most negative impact on purchase decisions to the least. The findings revealed that the most significant and common barriers to online purchase in the fashion industry e-commerce are difficulty in searching for products, trial inconvenience, long delivery times, payment difficulties, and delivery costs. This knowledge is useful for e-shops to provide high-quality customer experience and service, predict changes in behaviour and trends, develop marketing tools and strategies to overcome barriers to purchase, and ultimately increase loyalty and sales.

The category of "green" investment is defined as the funds of international climate funds (primarily the Green Climate Fund, funds of EU funds and other international organizations), funds of the budget of states, communities, enterprises and citizens, which are used to preserve and improve the environment and climate on the planet. Climate innovations, primarily aimed at stimulating the production of renewable energy, have become an important object of "green" investments in recent years.

The necessity of using "green" investments both in the period of martial law and in the period of reconstruction of the economy of Ukraine is substantiated. The structure of "green" investments, their contribution to the creation of "green" workplaces has been clarified, and the mechanism of their functioning at different levels of management has been developed; the possible risks of international "green" investment in Ukraine during the reconstruction period are determined; an insurance system for "green" investments was developed; existing problems in the use of "green" investments in Ukraine to ensure the conditions of sustainable development were identified.

Since Ukraine has the status of a candidate for joining the EU, it is important to develop an effective "green investment" mechanism that would correspond to the requirements of the European community. Ukrainian producers-exporters of goods to the EU must be ready for the introduction of a tax on greenhouse gas emissions.

For Ukraine, a new source of funding for the development of the "green" economy and relevant investments could be the creation of the Green Investment Fund of Ukraine, which can be formed due to the gradual reduction of VAT refunds to Ukrainian exporters, as well as from part of the funds received from the privatization of state property. The distribution of the funds of the Green Investment Fund of Ukraine could take place on a competitive basis, taking into account the priority of environmental problems.

Introduction: Although medical research (MR) is constantly promoted, a global deficit of medical researchers has been noted. We aimed to explore the relationship among practice, perceptions, attitudes, barriers and motivation toward MR and its impacts on MR publication.
Methods: A cross-sectional study included 262 senior medical students and interns. An electronic, standardised Likert scale questionnaire was used to collect the data. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratio between characteristics and MR publication. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the loading factor of each question, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to investigate the relationship between latent variables and MR publication.
Results: Cronbach’s alpha revealed a good internal reliability of 0.93. The accumulated grade point average did not differ between those who had published and those who had not. MR presentations were strongly associated with MR publication. SEM showed that attitudes (0.71, p<0.001) and perceptions (0.27, p<0.001) had a direct effect on practices. Practices (0.49, p<0.001) and attitudes (0.30, p<0.001) had a direct effect on motivation, while motivation had a total effect = 0.36, p<0.001 on MR publication through MR presentation as a mediator.
Conclusion: Positive attitudes and perceptions might lead to positivity in the intention to practice MR, which would lead to motivation and finally increase the odds of MR publication. Different approaches to promote excitement and perceptions in MR learning should be encouraged by teachers and faculty members.

Tarihi binaların günün ihtiyaçlarına göre yeniden işlevlendirilmesi, mimari koruma ve restorasyon alanında uzun yıllardır süren tartışmalar arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma, bulunduğu bölgenin demografik yapısı ile şekillenen ve günümüzde önemli bir kültürel değeri ortaya çıkaran tarihi bir binanın, yeniden işlevlendirmesi sonucu yıllar içerisindeki dönüşümü sonrasında yapının barındırdığı tarihi kimliğin tipolojisini tespit etmeyi hedeflemektedir. Mersin’de, önemli bir kültürel mirası barındıran levanten yapılarını incelemek, bölgenin tarihi değerlerini ortaya koymak açısından önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmada, Mersin’de levanten yapılarının genel olarak ele alınması ile birlikte St. Antuan Latin Katolik (Katedral) Kilisesi Kompleksi’ne yer verilmiştir. Beraberinde kompleks içerisinde yer alan ve günümüzde restorasyon süreci devam eden Eski 3 Ocak İlkokulu yapısı incelenmiştir. Tarihi binanın dönüşümündeki önemli süreçler yerinde yapılan gözlem ile literatürdeki mevcut çalışmalar ve yerel kurumlardaki belgeler ışığında tespit edilmiştir. Yapının barındırdığı ve ortaya konulan dikkat çekici mimari değerleri, inşa edildiği dönemin kültürel ve mimari özellikleri ile birlikte ele alınarak değerlendirmelere yer verilmiştir. İncelenen Eski Üç Ocak İlkokul binasının, dönemin geleneksel Mersin ve levanten yapıları ile benzer özellikler taşıdığı görülmüştür. Çalışmada, demografik yapının etkisiyle oluşan farklı yapı tiplerinin, hem farklı bölgedeki aynı demografik yapının oluşturduğu yapılar ile hem de bölgedeki mevcut geleneksel yapılar ile tipolojik olarak benzerlik gösterebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu çalışma ile günümüzde özgün değeri yüksek olan ve hakkında yapılan çalışmanın yetersiz olduğu Mersin Levanten yapılarının belgelenmesine ve korunmasına dikkat çekmek ve konuya ilişkin araştırmaların önünü açmak amaçlanmaktadır.
