The article presents the author’s integrated course, which is directly aimed at the parallel development of students’ soft- and hard-skills who master the profession in the automotive industry. Hard skills formation requires the acquisition of professional knowledge and implementation of instructions that can be tested through the exam. In contract, softskills include general, supra-professional skills (social, intellectual and volitional competencies, sociability, teamwork skills, leadership skills, creativity, punctuality , emotion management skills, etc.). In the coming years, significant changes are forecast in the automotive industry, in the design of heat engines, aimed not only at their improvement in particular, but also at the use of fundamentally new designs and types of engines. Under such conditions, a significant number of specialists will be forced to retrain, in the process of which fundamental training, the formation of softskills in particular, should be a significant help. It is covered a long time to quantify the effectiveness of the integrated special course, and three leading softskills (critical thinking, creativity and cognitive flexibility) are identified. It is concluded that the integration of softand hard skills is an effective means of developing knowledge, skills and thinking, which contributes to improving the professionalism of professionals. The study of the proposed author’s course gives positive changes in the professional competence of future automotive professionals.
Relativized temporal phrases: Language variation and change in contemporary Portuguese
Authors: Moia Telmo
Published: January 2023

This paper discusses the use of relativized temporal phrases as a domain of particularly intense variation and change in contemporary Portuguese. Various phenomena indicative of competition among linguistic forms (with a special focus on the standard variety of European Portuguese, as documented in newspaper texts) are highlighted and examined. Two main sets of constructions take centre stage in the paper. In one, the much-discussed tendency to omit the preposition em (‘in’) in relativized constituents expressing simple temporal location is assessed, using large corpora. In the other, the relativization of duration phrases (or comparable locating phrases, containing predicates of amounts of time) is scrutinized. These latter structures – very poorly studied in the literature – reveal intriguing restrictions, and associate with various types of anomalies, viz., non-standard suppression, addition or change of prepositions. Furthermore, one remarkable innovation is documented in Portuguese newspaper texts: the relativization of time-anchored duration adjuncts with the (preposition-like) connective há (a verb form equivalent to ‘there is’, currently undergoing a grammaticalization process, and shifting into a preposition) – 31: são os anos há que não ganhamos uma medalha (‘31: this is the number of years {we haven’t won a medal/since we last won a medal}’).
Birth Rate and Marriage in Wartime Conditions (Rear Population of the RSFSR), 1939-1945
Authors: Isupov V.
Published: January 2023

Historical demography in Russia as a scientific field is experiencing rapid growth. Since the late 1980s, numerous works have been published on various issues of demographic history. Considerable attention is now being paid to the demographic aspects of the World War II. While the issue of human losses in the USSR is of great interest, much less attention is drawn to the problem of population reproduction in 1939-1945. Simultaneously, reproduction processes underwent such a significant distortion during the war years that they should be taken into account when determining the scale of the demographic catastrophe that shook Russia. The main purpose of this article is to identify the leading trends and features of marriage and birth rate of the Russian population during the World War II.
Literacy of the Population in Udmurtia According to the Census of 1926 in the Period from 1934 to 1937
Authors: Uvarov S.
Published: January 2023

The article examines the literacy of the population of the Votyak Autonomous Region in 1926 in a later period (at the beginning of 1934 and until the end of 1937). Based on new scientific data, a comparative analysis of the literacy of the population by sex, place of residence (urban settlements and rural areas) and age cohorts was conducted in a comparable territory over a longer period of time. This study is especially relevant for Udmurtia, whose administrative-territorial boundaries in the 1920s–1930s often changed. In particular, the comparison revealed that during 1926–1933, a rural territory became a part of Udmurtia, in which in 1926 a more literate population lived than in the region itself.
Dynamics of the Age and Sex Structure of Mortality of the Middle Volga Population in 1985-2010
Authors: Bushuev A.
Published: January 2023

Based on archival and published data, the article analyses the features of the dynamics and structure of mortality of the population of the Middle Volga region in the 1980s–2000s. It was revealed that an increase in quantitative indicators of mortality in this period is associated with a change in the age structure of the population towards ageing, while the growth in the number of deaths in the region exceeded the all-Russian dynamics. The reduction of infant and child mortality in the region was accompanied by an intensive increase in the number of deaths of young and middle-aged people, an increase in male excess mortality and a decrease in average life expectancy.
Widowhood as a Social Problem in Post-War Sverdlovsk (According to the Census of 1959)
Authors: Mazur L. , Gorbachev O.
Published: January 2023

Based on the census of 1959, the study examines the phenomenon of post-war widowhood, including the socio-demographic portrait of widows in Sverdlovsk, as well as the characteristics of families headed by widows. The article is based on information from survey forms preserved in the archive and transcribed into a database that includes two tables: “Population of the city of Sverdlovsk. 1959» (4,715 entries) and “Family of the city of Sverdlovsk. 1959» (2,079 entries). To assess the level and frequency of widowhood, general and special coefficients were used to determine the impact of military losses on the family structure of the city, characterised by the archaisation of family and marriage relations as a result of the spread of intra-family consolidation strategies (an increase in the number of extended families). The transformation of single-parent families into typical social organisation was also considered. The unprecedented military losses of the male population during the Great Patriotic War exacerbated the gender imbalance that began to take shape at the end of the 19th century and particularly manifested during the First World War and the Civil War. The 1940s–1950s differ from the 1920s in that this is the time of the completion of the demographic transition, characterised by a change in the model of family and marriage behaviour, a tendency towards family nuclearisation.
Literacy Index of the Population of the Middle Urals in the 1960s
Authors: Zharkov A.
Published: January 2023

Based on population census data, the article compares the literacy index of the population of the Middle Urals (Sverdlovsk oblast) and the RSFSR in 1959 and 1970 and analyses the changes that have occurred over the decade. The literacy index is understood as the educational level of the population: the ratio of the number of people with a certain education to the total number of people of a certain age, in ppm. A significant increase in the literacy index of the population of the Middle Urals is noted. The share of people with incomplete secondary and secondary general education increased more intensively than in the RSFSR. However, the proportion of people with secondary professional and higher and incomplete higher education either decreased or remained unchanged compared to the national indicators, indicating a less intensive growth of these educational levels. Great successes in the development of secondary general and incomplete secondary education in the region and the presence of problems in the development of secondary professioanl and higher education are stated.
Age Differentiation of Interregional Migration Exchange in the Republic of Bashkortostan
Authors: Akhmetova (Khilazheva) G. , Utyasheva I.
Published: January 2023

The article considers the issues of participation of different age groups in interregional migration exchange in the Republic of Bashkortostan during 2016-2020. The main directions of interregional migration are analysed based on official statistics. The regions with the closest migration ties are identified; the age structure of migration flows to these regions is characterised. The migration intensity of individual age groups is revealed. The interregional migration exchange of Bashkortostan is characterised by age differentiation. The age structure of migration flows from Bashkortostan to individual entities of the Russian Federation differs, indicating the migration attractiveness of certain regions for different categories of the population. The interregional exchange of the republic leads to significant migration losses among young age groups, which weakens the reproductive and marriage potential of the region. Therefore, it is necessary to create such measures of regional social and migration policy that would contribute to the preservation and development of the socio-demographic potential of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Why there is no technological revolution, let alone a ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’
Authors: Moll Ian
Published: January 2023

We are told by the powerful that we live in, or are about to live in, a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Seemingly, this revolution is about deep-seated, rapid, digitally powered techno-scientific change. It is the age of smart machines; it is a new information technology (IT) revolution. However, in this article I suggest that examination of the history of technologies that are often held up to be proof of the 4IR, in fact shows that there is no contemporary technological revolution. The research methodology that I employ here is conceptual analysis and a focused review of literature on the history of particular technologies. An industrial revolution, as its three historical instances have demonstrated, is the fundamental transformation of every aspect of industrial society, including its geopolitical, cultural, macro-social, micro-social, economic and technological strata. It certainly entails a technological revolution, but it is more than just that. In this article, I am not concerned with the broader ensemble of socio-economic changes – it seems increasingly clear that the ‘brave new world’ of the 4IR is not really happening – but simply ask the question: is there currently a technological revolution? The answer seems to be that there is not.
Significance:
The significance of this study is that it challenges the mainstream notion of technological innovation and change, associated with the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’. It has implications for the way we think about technological and scientific revolutions.

Objective

Stemming from historical traumas and changes in the Inuit way of life, substance use and its intertwined problems are a major cause of concern for Nunavimmiut. This study’s objective is to investigate sociocultural determinants of substance use and misuse to inform culturally appropriate public health programs.

Methods

The 2017 Qanuilirpitaa? survey was conducted among a sample intended to be representative of Nunavimmiut aged 16 and over (total n = 1326). Sociocultural factors included cultural identity, land-based activities, involvement in community activities, social support, and family and community cohesion. The frequency of binge drinking (5 or more drinks on one occasion), cannabis use, and problematic substance use (CAGE and DAST-10) were documented. Data were analyzed using weighted multivariate logistic regressions. Inuit partners were involved from the planning of analyses to the co-interpretation of results.

Results

Nearly a third of Nunavimmiut aged 16 and over reported binge drinking at least once a week (29.3%), and 68.6% of drinkers were at risk of potential drinking problems. Forty-five percent (45%) reported using cannabis at least once a week, and 30% of drug users were at risk of potential drug abuse problems. Volunteering and participation in community activities were associated with lower odds of cannabis use, as was frequently going on the land with weekly binge drinking, potential drinking problems, and weekly cannabis use. Social support and community cohesion were associated with higher odds of weekly binge drinking, as was cultural identity (centrality scale) with potential drinking problems.

Conclusion

Key determinants of substance use relevant to Inuit culture were identified. Results are in line with our Inuit partners’ experience in their communities and are coherent with current land-based interventions implemented in Nunavik. A thorough understanding of substance use contexts and related stressors should guide the content and implementation of substance use programs in Nunavik.
ALS and the Gut-Brain Axis: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the relationship between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the gut and its microbiome. v1
Authors: T Jackson Alexander
Published: January 2023

Abstract Background: ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of motor function. At the time of symptom manifestation, effective treatment options are extremely limited, due in part to the irreversible loss of motor neurons at this late stage of the disease. Recent research has highlighted the involvement of both gut pathology and gut microbiota as important factors in early disease pathogenesis, which may represent an opportunity for early diagnosis and intervention, prior to neurological symptom onset and thus prior to significant motor neuron loss. Aim: The aim of this review is to perform a comprehensive analysis of the literature to identify potential pre-symptomatic pathological hallmarks of ALS in the gut, including, but not limited to, changes in gut microbiota and protein aggregation. Methods: This protocol details the strategy for the proposed systematic review and meta-analysis to identify and compare studies assessing gut-related pathological changes in ALS separated in to two analyses assessing (i) gut microbiota and (ii) non-microbiota related pathways, with the ultimate aim of identifying opportunities for early disease detection before neurological symptom onset.
Open-field blast (OFB) model in mice v1
Authors: Johnson Catherine
Published: January 2023

This is a protocol to describe the materials and methods utilized by the submitter to perform preclinical traumatic brain injury (TBI) using the open-field blast (OFB) model in mice. Service members in theater or military training frequently are exposed to primary blast by explosive weaponry. Thus, blast-induced mTBI is the most common form of TBI, regarded as a ‘Signature Wound or Invisible Injury’ in recent military conflicts. This highly reproducible, open-field low-intensity blast (LIB) injury in mice, the “Missouri Blast” model, uses detonating 350 g of high-energy explosive Composition C-4 (C4). Open-field LIB with C4, set at 1-m above the ground, generates the initial Friedlander waveform with blast rise time on microsecond scale, and includes interactions from the primary blast shockwave reflection off the ground. Comprehensive physical characterization includes the measurements of peak overpressure, blast rise time, positive phase duration, impulse, and velocity of blast waves. High-speed videography is used to capture the dynamic blast events and to ensure the reproducibility of the experimental blast exposures, confirming the absence of visible impact / acceleration on the blast-exposed mice in prone position. This model is scalable and allows study of varying magnitudes of primary blast injuries by placing animals at different distances away from the center of the blast. Overall, this animal model will provide a platform to enhance the understanding of the pathogenesis of blast-induced brain injury and is critical for developing new prevention and treatment strategies against the risk for later neurodegeneration and cognitive impairments. A list of publications using this protocol can be found in the attached document. The posting of this protocol is part of the mission of PREClinical Interagency reSearch resourcE-TBI (PRECISE-TBI, precise-tbi.org) to improve clinical translation of therapeutics by providing an online catalogue and standardized protocols to reduce the variability of model usage between laboratories.

Influência do comprometimento organizacional na retaliação: estudo em uma organização pública
Authors: Vilaça Santos Marina Vasconcelos , La Falce Jefferson Lopes
Published: January 2023

Esta pesquisa buscou investigar a influência do comprometimento organizacional nas atitudes retaliatórias em uma organização pública de Minas Gerais. Optou-se por realizar uma pesquisa de natureza quantitativa e descritiva, pautada no método survey interseccional, valendo-se, para coleta de dados, de um questionário que contemplou as escalas EBACO, de Medeiros, Albuquerque, Marques e Siqueira (2005), e MARO, de Mendonça e Tamayo (2003). O tratamento estatístico dos dados envolveu técnicas de modelagem de equações estruturais utilizando o método PLS (Partial Least Square). Os resultados alcançados revelam a existência de uma relação negativa e significativa entre os constructos “comprometimento organizacional” e “atitudes retaliatórias”, de modo que, quanto maior o comprometimento, menor será a retaliação e vice-versa. Estima-se que pessoas mais comprometidas tendam a ter um vínculo psicológico maior com a instituição, de modo a estabilizar possíveis reações negativas, como os comportamentos retaliatórios. Entretanto os indivíduos, no setor público, provavelmente tenham mais coragem de retaliar, principalmente apoiados na estabilidade profissional. Assim, assumem uma postura de espelho em relação ao comportamento negativo emitido pela organização ou por quem dela faça parte. Evidencia-se a influência do comprometimento nas atitudes retaliatórias ainda não indicada na literatura. Com a descoberta da relação entre comprometimento e retaliação, este estudo apresenta implicações na vida dos gestores, que passam a perceber que, com as revoluções no mundo do trabalho, a lealdade do funcionário tem-se estabelecido consigo mesmo e com a própria carreira, em detrimento da lealdade para com a organização.
Hyperuricemia, gout and comorbidity
Authors: Shostak N. A. , Pravdyuk N. G. , Loginova T. K. , Lazarenko G. N.
Published: January 2023

Hyperuricemia is most often combined with lipid metabolism disorders, modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, abdominal obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, urolithiasis, chronic kidney disease. Current data indicate the presence of pro-inflammatory, pro-oxidant and vasoconstrictive effects of uric acid, which may contribute to the development of cardiometabolic disorders. Normal serum uric acid levels are <6 mg / dl (<360 mmol / l) for women and <7 mg / dl (<420 mmol / l) for men. Currently, the role of hyperuricemia as an independent biomarker of the risk of cardiovascular events is emphasized. Both gout and subclinical hyperuricemia are associated with unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes. Patients should be informed about the risk factors of hyperuricemia; the need for lifestyle modification, diet compliance, and correction of drug therapy for comorbid conditions. According to international and domestic recommendations, urate-lowering therapy is indicated for asymptomatic hyperuricemia (>360 mmol / l) and high cardiovascular risk. The data available today allow us to consider the target serum uric acid level <5 mg / dl (<300 mmol / l) for patients with high cardiovascular risk, including at least 2 of the following risk factors: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, stroke, heart attack, chronic disease kidneys, and <6 mg / dl for patients who do not have these risk factors. The urate-lowering drug is selected taking into account the concomitant pathology and the presence or absence of liver or kidney dysfunction. Xanthine oxidase inhibitors are still the first-line drugs for the correction of hyperuricemia. The superiority of xanthine oxidase inhibitors is due to the potential inhibition of the production of reactive oxygen species and their antioxidant effect. Treatment of gout is aimed at achieving clinical improvement in acute and chronic arthritis, preventing recurrence of arthritis and damage to internal organs, as well as reducing the risks of negative effects on comorbid pathology. Clinicians are faced with the task of controlling cardiovascular diseases in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia and gout. Further studies are needed to investigate the relationship between gout, hyperuricemia and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, as well as to establish a more complete picture of the prevalence of a wide range of comorbid conditions.

Authors: Luneva E. B. , Malev E. G.
Published: January 2023

Valvular heart disease remains one of the causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular pathology requiring cardiac surgery. For elderly and senile patients with high risks of volumetric cardiac surgery, a new type of biological prosthesis, a transcatheter implantable aortic valve, has become a solution to the problem. Over the past decade catheter interventions for severe valvular heart disease have evolved from balloon dilatation of native stenotic valves to replacement and reconstructive intervention of diseased valves. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation, which is widespread in the USA and Europe, has also begun to be performed in our country, primarily in comorbid groups of patients. Rapid technological advances in device design are likely to improve immediate and long-term outcomes of surgery and expand the current indications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The article analyzes the indications for the procedure in accordance with the latest recommendations of 2021, possible complications of the transcatheter aortic valve implantation, as well as the principles of patient management after the procedure, including the principles of drug therapy in this group of patients. Separately, the topic of aortic regurgitation and the possibility of transcatheter aortic valve implantation are touched upon, since this pathology is a new indication that has appeared only in the latest recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology. In this review, we want to acquaint physicians with the indications for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, the main complications, and the principles of managing patients in the perioperative period. The complication rate after transcatheter aortic valve implantation is decreasing due to technical advances and experience of interventional surgeons. In-depth knowledge of potential complications and their prevention plays a key role in improving the immediate and long-term results of surgery.

Published: January 2023

Atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease are the key problems in cardiology. Despite of numerous clinical trials and researches underlying molecular biology remains uncertain. Atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease are often combined. During ischemic heart disease progression myocardial tissue structure are changing which lead to structural and electrophysiological remodeling and promote atrial fibrillation. It has been shown a crucial role of oxidative stress and chronic systemic inflammation in ischemic heart disease and atrial fibrillation. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is one of marker of oxidative stress and inflammation that located in azurophilic granules of neutrophils and monocytes. There are a numerous articles showed a relation between MPO level and cardiovascular disease. MPO is a peroxidase enzyme that is important part of immune system. During disease MPO could facilitate chronic inflammation and local tissue damage through active oxygen forms. MPO releases after lysosome conjunction with phagosome. Oxygen reductase activity of MPO lead synthesis of hypochlorous acid that play role not only in organism protection from infection agents but in matrix transformation and fibrosis. It has been shown MPO can destabilize atherosclerotic plaque and modifies low- and high-density lipoproteins that promote atherosclerosis and ischemic heart diseaseу progression. This review summarizes current data about role of MPO in atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease pathogenesis.

Published: January 2023

Research objective: Quantitative estimation of social-demographic and social-economic impact of the switch of traditional cigarettes smoking to modified risk tobacco products consumption, based on effect upon smoking-related mortality and diseases rates.

Methods. Target group – consumers of smoking tobacco: conventional cigarettes (CC) and modified risk tobacco products (MRTP). Base of calculations – analysis of available time series for: CC and MRTP consumption, life expectancy and healthy life expectancy coefficients, statistics on smoking-related mortality and diseases rates, including data on key nosologies (malignant neoplasms of respiratory system, digestive organs, urinary tract; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; circulatory diseases; cerebrovascular diseases.

Results. We implemented prognoses for all the above mentioned parameters to year 2035, calculated direct medical and indirect costs for demographic and economic loss with attention to budget impact analysis, developed five scenarios based on different CC and MRTP consumption.

The model of switching from CC to MRTP consumption proves a significant decline of demographic and economic burden even with rather modest MRTP replacement for CC. With current practices of switching from CC to MRTP remaining, during 2021–2035 summary impact would result in 3.6 mln of years saved, 7.7 mln of healthy years saved, 120 thous. of mortal cases and 345 thous. diseases cases prevented. The economic burden would be 3.3 trillion rubles lower.

Conclusion. Smoking cessation is the optimal method to reduce health risks, and state policy for stimulation of smoking quitting is necessary. Along with that, transition from CC to MRTP may be an alternative way to reduce health risks for those smokers with long smoking history and either psychological or physiological causes who cannot quit smoking.

Even small in the terms of percent transition from CC to MRTP may result in significant decrease of demographic and economic burden on the national scale.

This paper addresses industry sector like concentrating solar power (CSP) plant used for electricity generation. Up till now, this technology is not affordable for developing countries where CSP potential is good. To contribute on the improvement of CSP technology, ceramic balls using sand clay and industry waste (coal bottom ash) have been developed for sensible heat storage. In this paper, the one dimensional two phase model has been chosen to predict the behaviour of the ceramic oil and vegetal oil (Jatropha curcas oil) thermal energy storage system. The results show that high porosity (> 45%), filler material with big size and high fluid velocity are not required for thermal energy storage because of the degradation of the thermocline. Taking into account a tank ratio H/D of 2.5 and a total stored energy of the results show a possibility to reach a discharge time of 9 hours with discharge efficiency of more than 90%. The thermocline thickness variation under the variation of fluid velocity, particle diameter, tank porosity shows that for an effective thermal energy storage system, the thermocline maximal thickness is around one third of the packed-bed height. To conclude, the developed ceramic ball and Jatropha curcas oil could be considered as an innovative and cost-effective for thermal energy storage in CSP or other applications like solar cooker.

Authors:   Borys Hrinchenko Kyiv University, Prystai Olha
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this article is to describe the results of the study of the components of managerial competence of heads of general secondary education institutions in Ukraine in accordance with the profile of managerial competence generated on the basis of empirical data; to confirm the need for the development of creative thinking and emotional intelligence as important personal qualities and competencies of the leader in the field of education; to analyze the formation of creative thinking and emotional intelligence in the heads of general secondary education institutions of the city of Kyiv. The managerial competence of the school leaders determines their level of professionalism and provides an opportunity for effective implementation of all educational reforms, which in modern Ukraine is a necessary and determining component of the education system of the country. Management effectiveness is the ability to choose the most effective management methods for a given time and circumstances. The range of issues that must be addressed by the head in the educational environment is becoming wider every year, so the level of competence should be appropriate. A clear example of this is the situation that has arisen because of Covid-19 and other unexpected influences, which has radically changed the traditional social order in many areas, including education. Education leaders find themselves in a situation of uncertainty and emotional instability due to a lack of information and excessive responsibility for the new challenges of distance, blended online learning. Heads of educational institutions have been forced to restructure the system of student education and personnel management in many countries around the world. Not everyone has coped with this difficult task. Thus, there is a need to disclose and specify the relationship of managerial competencies and determine the level of development of those professional achievements and personal qualities that contribute to effective management. These problems determined the purpose and objectives of the presented study. This article discusses the soft skills of education leaders, namely creativity and emotional intelligence, in the structure of managerial competence of school leaders. The results obtained during the study showed that in the new conditions of social transformations, the managerial competence of the leader in the field of education is changing significantly. The publication presents the authors' approximate profile of managerial competence. The levels of development of creative thinking and emotional intelligence were determined by experimental research and correlations between the components of these properties were established, as well as the necessity of their development was substantiated.

Published: January 2023

A comparative study of the relationship between the need for cognitive closure, social anxiety, and cognitive strategies for regulating emotions in social phobia was carried out. We examined 135 people (57.8% female; Mage=32.8±11.3 years) with a diagnosis of "Social phobia" (F40.1, ICD-10), combined with other mental disorders (mean disorder duration — 13.1±8.1 years). The comparison group was represented by 100 people without mental disorders (53% female; Mage=35.2±6.5 years). Tools used: Need for Closure Scale by A. Kruglanski and D. Webster adapted by M.I. Yasin; Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire by N. Garnefski et al., adapted by E.I. Rasskazova et al.; Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale in the adaptation of I.V. Grigorieva and S.N. Enikolopov. It has been established that the clinical manifestations of social phobia are characterized by a high need for cognitive closure and the used dysfunctional cognitive strategies for regulating the emotional sphere are reflected in the inability to achieve cognitive closure, the impossibility of reducing the level of social anxiety, which increases the motivation for social avoidance.

Gelotophobia is a fear of ridicule, that manifests both as part of anxiety and depressive disorders, and independently. The study finds out whether some features of recognition and control of expression are limited to the area of positive emotions or manifest themselves in the regulation of other emotions with gelotophobia. The results of self-reporting and test methods for assessing the understanding of emotions, as well as direct and indirect measurements of the ability to control emotions, are compared, and an interference effect of alexithymia is controlled. In total 235 subjects took a part (Mage=17,95, SDage=1,78), among whom 181 female and 54 male students of the humanities answered questionnaires Emotional Intelligence (EI), Ways of coping (WCQ) of Lazarus, Questionnaire of Gelotophobia (GELOPH-15), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), attributional style questionnaire of Seligman) and did tests (Video Test of Lysin and Ovsyannikova, timing of emotion naming). Quantitative comparative analysis, correlation, and regression analysis were used. The results indicate that some characteristic properties of recognition and control of emotions associated with gelotophobia extend to some other emotions (sadness, but not fear and anger). The reduction in recognition and control of emotions in gelotophobia manifests only through self-reporting methods, while tests show minimal differences depending on gelotophobia grade and their derived character. The accuracy of recognition decreases with gelotophobia grade only when the recognition time is limited. The reduction of control manifests only in the rarer use of Avoidance coping, which is associated with a lower evaluation of the ability to control achieving success and avoiding failure by the individual. the conviction of the individual.

The work solved the problems of substantiating the approach to the study of the features of the professional competence of a tutor (teaching assistant) in the conditions of inclusive education and conducting a pilot study of the basic components of competence: motivational-attitude, cognitive, behavioral, and reflective-evaluative ones. The methods used in international studies for studying subjective predictors of the implementation of inclusive practices by teachers served as a prototype for using a number of self-assessment tools in studying the basic components of tutor competence, including four questionnaires: ‘Attitude towards inclusion’, ‘Intention to implement inclusive practices’, ‘Efficiency of a tutor accompanying students with health deficiencies and disabilities in an inclusive education’, ‘Difficulties of the tutor in the implementation of tutor support in the conditions of inclusion’. The sample of this study is represented by 313 respondents (mean age 33.6±13.9; men — 9.6%, women — 90.4%), including 41 students of secondary vocational education organizations, and 272 students of higher education, among them there were 67 working tutors. All respondents answered the same questionnaires remotely using the ‘Anketolog’ system. Data analysis included an exploratory factorial analysis of each questionnaire, a check of their internal consistency, and a correlation analysis of relationships between all questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.76 to 0.94, which indicates sufficient internal consistency of the questionnaires. Correlation analysis confirms the nature of the relationships of the original questionnaires previously obtained in international studies. Factor analysis made it possible to identify both the ‘Intention to implement inclusive practices’ questionnaire and the ‘Efficiency of a tutor accompanying students with health deficiencies and disabilities in an inclusive education’ questionnaire, two factors each, reflecting the specifics of the work of tutors, which, apparently, can be associated with their support for the agency of students with disabilities. This possible sensitivity to this aspect of tutoring allows us to expect that these questionnaires can become a useful tool for studying subjective readiness and ability as components of tutoring professional competence of future and working professionals in an inclusive education environment.

Introduction. The phenomenon of loneliness is multidimensional and ambigu­ous. Attitudes to loneliness are heterogeneous and mediated, among many factors, by cultural and ethnic features. Territorial proximity and historically conditioned relations and migrations of Ural-Siberian territories and Kazakhstan allow conducting intercultural and interethnic re­search. This research is devoted to the study of specifics of loneliness experience by first-year students – representatives of these nations. The problem of loneliness becomes especially ur­gent as a result of growth of anxious and depressive states, and sometimes suicidal and victim behaviour among first-year students.

Aim. The aim of the current research is to identify ethnic aspects of the subjective ex­perience of loneliness of first-year students studying in Russia and Kazakhstan. The research examines the specifics of experiencing loneliness by students of different ethnic backgrounds (Russians, Kazakhs), 197 students (119 males and 78 females).

Research design. The research design involved the determination of loneliness factors for the entire empirical sample (factor analysis) with subsequent calculation of the values of the received factors for each respondent. Then students were compared separately for boys and girls of Kazakh and Russian ethnicity.

Measurements. To conduct the research, the authors used a set of methods to study loneliness, Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and a questionnaire to identify the level and na­ture of loneliness by G. R. Shagivaleeva.

Results. The authors found that the component composition of loneliness can be repre­sented by three factors: depressive experience of loneliness, positive experience of loneliness, experience of loneliness in interpersonal relationships. It was revealed that students of Kazakh ethnicity expressed a negative perception of loneliness (p = 0.007), actualising depressive ten­dencies. A positive experience of loneliness is more characteristic of girls than boys (p = 0.02). For girls of Kazakh ethnicity, separation from the parental family enhances the feeling of lone­liness (p < 0.05).

Scientific novelty. The presented research results confirm the multidimensional nature of the phenomenon of loneliness, which determines the ambiguity of attitudes towards it and gives special weight to the value attitude towards loneliness in culture. Differences in the expe­rience of loneliness by students, due to the specifics of ethnic attitudes, are revealed.

Theoretical significance of the study is determined by the identified regularities in the component composition of the experience of loneliness by students of two ethnic groups (Rus­sians and Kazakhs), its content and gender-role specificity.

Practical significance. Empirical data contribute to the understanding of the ethnic characteristics of students’ experiences of loneliness and can serve as the basis for the devel­opment of university programmes that enhance psychological well-being.

Introduction. The process of modern youth’s cybersocialisation is caused by the digitalisation and the inclusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) in daily life. Network activity is a part of students’ socialisation. The interaction of student youth in the virtual space is conditioned by personality trust, which is revealed through the categories of trust in oneself, other users and the virtual world. The personality trust of students, as a belief in the reliability of other people and the world, regulates network activity and the life of society. Trends in the formation of personality trust in traditional and virtual space have similar prerequisites.

Aim. The aim of the study is to identify the features of personality trust of Russian and Indonesian students in terms of network activity.

Methodology and research methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the subject-personal approach. A set of methods was used: “Assessment of trust/distrust of a person in other people” (A. B. Kupreychenko) (the authors introduced an additional construct “virtual world”); “The study of trust/distrust of the individual in the world, other people, oneself”; “Questionnaire for the problematic use of social networks”; “Assessment of involvement in the use of ICT”.

Results and scientific novelty. For the first time, personality trust is considered in the context of network activity in the framework of a comparative study of Russian and Indonesian students. Indonesian students tend to display personality trust in communication by accepting participants in network activity, in choosing more authoritative sources of information and participants with a positive reputation. Students from Russia trust reliable and credible sources and network users, basing on empathy and a similar worldview. The personality trust of students in the virtual world and network users is more pronounced among Indonesians, and trust in oneself is equally important for both groups of students. The Russian student youth is characterised by a low level of trust in the information on the network, in comparison with the Indonesian youth. General trends in the problematic use of technology have been identified, such as cognitive absorption, emotion regulation, and Internet addictive behaviour. Both groups of students prefer online communication and strive for open and effective relationships in the virtual space with like-minded people, for mutual assistance and unity.

Practical significance. The results of studying the personality trust of Russian and Indonesian students in terms of network activity can be used to build open and productive relationships between young representatives of the countries, to organise psychological and pedagogical support for the socio-cultural adaptation of foreign students, to develop digital educational environment of an international university.
