Child’s attachment to mother as a predictor of psychological well-being in primary school age
Authors: Kuftyak E. V. , Magdenko O. V. , Zadorova Ju. A.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. The attachment is viewed as the base for assessment of individual adaptation variation throughout life. In the capacity of the core indicator of the person’s unison with external environment, the psychological well-being combines the different aspects of child life. The assessment of the psychological well-being is based on three indicators: evidence of life satisfaction; life quality assessment; difficulty levels of external and internal spectrum.

The aim of the current publication is to investigate the influence of features of attachment to mother on psychological well-being of primary school-age children.

Methodology and research methods. The methodological research framework was based on the main provisions of the attachment theory (J. Bowlby, M. Ainsworth). “Mother-Child Attachment Style Measure Questionnaire” method (Pupyreva, 2007) was employed to identify attachment features. The measure of psychological well-being was carried out by means of “Student’s Life Satisfaction Scale” (Toporkova, Slobodskaya et al., 2015), “Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory” and “Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire” (Goodman, Slobodskaya, Knyazev, 2005) methods. 178 primary school-age children (85 boys and 93 girls) aged 10 to 11 (mean age = 10.2) participated in the research.

Results. The analysis of the results showed that secure attachment among children reduces life satisfaction, facilitates the behavioural disorders and psycho-emotional reactions, impacts on limitation of social contacts and life quality. Using the regression analysis, it was revealed that the quality of the correlation between attachment indicators and psychological well-being vary depending on degree of attachment security. It is demonstrated that maternal responsiveness and attentiveness is an absolute predictor of life satisfaction, physical and social well-being and life quality in the primary school-age period, irrespective of the child’s attachment types. The absence of mother-child closeness is the predictor for disruption of physical, emotional and social functioning, low level of life quality in insecure attachment in primary school-aged children.

Scientific novelty. The specificity of psychological well-being of primary school-aged children with different types of attachment to their mother is determined. It is shown for the first time that characteristics of attachment are the predictors of life satisfaction, quality of life, and mental health of primary school-aged children.

Practical significance. By identifying different regression models for the description of psychological well-being on the basis of child-mother attachment indicators, it may be possible to provide interventions to improve psychological well-being based on the characteristics of attachment.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. New digital technology in education and its constantly evolving paradigm have completely transformed the model of learning and the learning methods. E-learning has become an important tool for teaching and learning environments. Moreover, virtual learning has become a required alternative teaching method in educational system change during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for learners in elementary schools.

Aim. This research aimed to explore the necessities, lack, and want of learning English, which is done virtually at home.

Methodology and research methods. This research employs descriptive methods using questionnaires and interviews as instruments to get responses from teachers and students about their learning needs. In the course of the needs analysis process, the importance and priority of teachers’ and students’ needs are discussed. The participants of this study were second-grade elementary school students, and the sample was 40 students and 2 English teachers for 10 months.

Results. The research results demonstrate a gap between the needs of learners and current conditions; therefore, the whole language approach, the multimedia, and technology-based English teaching materials will become an inevitable need and even become a solution in the world of education.

Scientific novelty. Further research is needed to study educational system change during the COVID-19 pandemic or after, especially in designing teaching materials in various disciplines and at different educational stages. Future studies could be generalised by these research findings to other populations in different learning contexts, and the findings presented in thisarticle should be further explored. In particular, technology-based and multimedia-based teaching materials must be explored more deeply. Furthermore, further research should focus on utilising a different model for needs analysis in language education to verify the need for effective English learning in changing the education system during the pandemic and after.

Practical significance. It is thought that this study will contribute to the stakeholders in terms to provide empirical evidence of what necessities, lack, and want should be considered when a teacher will design and develop teaching materials during the COVID-19 period or afte.

Authors: Gavrilova N. V. , Schugurensky D.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. This article examines the modern educational approach in the field of liberal arts and practical finance, democratisation of the decision-making system in educational institutions through the active engagement of students on the example of US schools and universities. This approach is based on initiative, or participatory budgeting, i.e. students are involved in the process of allocation of budgetary funds of schools and universities. Such participatory practice has educational and administrative objectives, as it serves to improve the quality management in educational institutions through the involvement of students in major decisions. Taking into account the fact that students are the key beneficiaries of the education system, their opinions lead to increased efficiency in educational institutions.

Aim. On the basis of real cases, the current research is aimed to identify and describe participatory techniques that can integrate the teaching of theoretical knowledge in the field of civil society with the formation of practical skills in this area.

Methodology and research methods. Desk research method of analysing primary and secondary sources (websites of educational institutions, academic publications, and articles in the media) and the field sociological method of expert interviews were used. Expert interviews with representatives of schools and universities, teachers, officers from educational institutions, consultants from the Participatory Budgeting Project, the leading consulting organisation in North America were conducted.

Results. The results of the study reveal several participatory techniques for students’ engagement in the allocation of budgetary funds of schools and universities that are applied in New York and Arizona. The identified and described technologies of participation contribute to the formation of students’ knowledge of socio-economic disciplines, practical finance and civics, project management skills, as well as an increase in civic engagement.

Scientific novelty.The present study expands the ideas about how to improve the process of teaching social and economic disciplines at schools and universities, practical finance and project management. The method of improving the efficiency of educational institutions through democratic practices is identified.

Practical significance. In the future, the proposed approach can be applied in Russian educational institutions.
Development of a Rat Sandwich-Cultured Hepatocytes Model Expressing Functional Human Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide (OATP) 1B3: A Potential Screening Tool for Liver-Targeting Compounds
Authors: Farasyn Taleah , Xu Chao , Yue Wei
Published: September 2021

Purpose: Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B3 transports many clinically important drugs, including statins, from blood into the liver. It exclusively expresses in human liver under normal physiological conditions. There is no rodent ortholog of human OATP1B3. Tissue targeting of therapeutic molecules mediated by transporters, including liver-targeting via liver-specific OATPs, is an emerging area in drug development. Sandwich-cultured primary hepatocytes (SCH) are a well characterized in vitro model for assessment of hepatic drug uptake and biliary excretion. The current study was designed to develop a novel rat SCH model expressing human OATP1B3 to study the hepatic disposition of OATP1B3 substrates. Methods: Primary rat hepatocytes transduced with adenoviral vectors expressing FLAG-tagged OATP1B3 (Ad-OATP1B3), a control vector Ad-LacZ, or that were non-transduced were cultured in a sandwich configuration. FLAG immunoblot and immunofluorescence-staining determined expression and localization of OATP1B3. Uptake of [3H]-cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), a specific OATP1B3 substrate, was determined. Taurocholate (TC) is a substrate routinely used in SCH to assess biliary excretion via bile canaliculi (BC) and is also a substrate of OATP1B3. [3H]-TC accumulation in cells+BC, cells, biliary excretion index (BEI) and in vitro Clbiliary were determined using B-CLEAR® technology. Results: OATP1B3 protein was extensively expressed and primarily localized on the plasma membrane in day 4 Ad-OATP1B3-transduced rat SCH. [3H]-CCK-8 accumulation in cells+BC was significantly greater (~5-13 folds, p<0.001) in day 4 SCH with vs. without Ad-OATP1B3-transduction. Expressing OATP1B3 in rat SCH significantly increased [3H]-TC accumulation in cells+BC and cells, without affecting BEI and in vitro Clbiliary. Conclusions: Rat SCH expressing human OATP1B3-is a novel in vitro model allowing simultaneous assessment of hepatic uptake, hepatocellular accumulation and biliary excretion process of a human OATP1B3 substrate. This model could be a potential tool for screening for liver-targeting compounds mediated by OATP1B3.

Authors: Kocyigit-Cakir Zehra , Ozkan Ozlem
Published: September 2021

Background: This study aimed to determine the incidence of occupational accidents among male workers in an electric power distribution company and to analyze the contributing factors.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on 158 male workers from an electricity distribution company in Istanbul (Turkey) between October 2014 and June 2015 in two phases. In the first phase, the data were collected with the face-to-face interviews based on a questionnaire related to the occupational accidents and working conditions in the past year. Then, each worker was followed-up for four months for the occupational accident incidence. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. The degree and magnitude of association between dependent and independent variables were determined by Phi (Φ) and Cramer's V coefficient.
Results: The incidence rate of self-reported occupational accidents was 47.5% in the past year. The incidence was found to be higher for those aged over 41 (51.7%, p=0.02), work in lighting and overhead line units (71.0% and 47.2%, p=0.04), have occupational disease (66.7%, p=0.01), and have witnessed any occupational accident in the electricity sector (66.1%, p<0.001). The incidence rate was moderately associated with the working unit (Cramer’sV=0.25), witnessing any occupational accident (Φ=0.29), and occupational disease (Φ=0.21). It was higher for those with shift work (52.0%; p=0.29) and with job insecurity (51.8%, p=0.11). The incidence rate of occupational accidents based on four-month follow-up was 0.53 person-year. The most frequent type of accident was explosion (14.3%), and the majority of the accidents resulted in injuries (78.6%).
Conclusion: The incidence of occupational accidents among male workers in the electricity distribution company was higher than the national average. The accidents were significantly related to the working conditions.

Authors: Tabanfar Sara , Pourbabaki Reza , Sobhani Seyvan
Published: September 2021

Background: Construction industry has been ranked among the most dangerous industries worldwide due to the high number of accidents. The safety climate can be considered as a stimulus to reduce unsafe behaviors and thus reduction the accidents. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of the safety climate and unsafe behavior of the construction workers in Tehran, Iran.
Methods: The present study is a descriptive cross-sectional research on 90 construction workers. Unsafe behaviors recorded using the American National Standards Institute method and interviews with the workers. The Safety Climate was measured using the UK health care Safety Climate Questionnaire. The descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to summarize the findings and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to show the relationship between the variables. The SPSS software was used to analyze the data.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of safety climate score and unsafe behavior were (3.98+ 0.27) and (45.93 + 17.3), respectively. There was a significant relationship between unsafe behaviors and staff knowledge (r = -0.31 and P = 0.004). We also found relationship between unsafe behavior and safety climate score (r = -0.21 and P = 0.043).
Conclusion: The employees' knowledge was one of the most important components of workplace safety. Also, this component assigned itself the highest score, and increasing the score in this dimension of the safety climate can lead to reduction unsafe behavior. Finally, according to the results, as the safety climate among employees increases, unsafe behaviors will decrease, and productivity would be increase.

Shown is, why the formula “it was the industrial revolutions that were the factors of main transformations of education” underlying the strategic project for using digital means in education in the former Soviet countries cannot be taken as an unconditional one. It is proved that the using digital means in education as a strategic project should, first of all, be aimed at teaching digital technologies in the framework of vocational education and at training the elite category of workers for the development of scientific and technological progress.
Dynamics of correlation between the level of anxiety and abilities to adapt to university in students
Authors:   Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University, Ledovskaya T.V. , Afanasov A.V.
Published: September 2021

Elaborated is the content of the concepts of “anxiety” and “adaptation”. The dynamics of neuropsychiatric stability, situational anxiety and adaptation in students during the initial period of study at the university were revealed. During the adaptation period, reactive anxiety changes in the direction of its increase. The presence of the relationship of adaptive abilities and anxiety in students in 1–3 semester of study is shown. There is an increased interaction of these mental phenomena among themselves in 1st semester. During the adaptation period, the level of statistical connection between reactive anxiety and communicative abilities increases. Moral normality is a situational characteristic during adaptation and its relationship with personal and reactive anxiety is weak, but tends to increase. Most students successfully overcome the initial period of study, but the values of personal adaptation potential in students lie in the zone of “reduced adaptation”, that is, the adaptation process is in a positive direction, but it is difficult. In order for a student to effectively pass the adaptation period, he needs to increase the level of communicative abilities and neuropsychiatric resistance. This will reduce anxiety to the optimal level.

Authors:   P.G. Demidov Yaroslavl State University, Zagrebin V.V. , Kalinin E.S.
Published: September 2021

Presented is the study of the role of the academic environment in the formation of political attitudes of modern Russian students on the example of the city of Yaroslavl. The theoretical interpretation of the political attitude is presented. The definition of political attitudes, structure, typology and functions are disclosed. The material presented in the article is based on the results of the author's sociological study of the political attitudes of students, primarily through the study of the university environment as a factor in the formation of political attitudes. The political involvement of students, their protest moods, electoral behavior, political views, trust in political institutions and leaders, popular sources of political information among students, social activity and other aspects are analyzed. The results of the study showed that the influence of the academic environment on the political attitudes of students is rather moderate. It was found that academic performance, the level of student social activity, the faculty of education do not have a significant impact on the political orientations of students. Communication with other students and teachers is essential. Moreover, the influence of teachers and disciplines of a socio-political orientation rather leads to an increase in political literacy and greater involvement of students in the political sphere.

Published: September 2021

Discussed is upon the issue of state management of the socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The special role of the Arctic territories in the economic development of our country is noted. The need is indicated to look at the problems of the Russian Arctic from the other side — from the side of human potential, which is one of the driving forces of the economy. The authors present some of the results of a sociological study conducted by them in the Arctic territories of Russia (in particular, in the Arkhangelsk region). The study is devoted to the intergenerational differentiation of value orientations. Its methodological basis, among others, was formed by the scientific views of R. Inglehart and K. Welzel, who believe that the condition that precedes socio-political and economic modernization is the transformation of the value orientations of the majority of the population. The value system, according to scientists, is quite stable within the life of one generation, and therefore, it makes sense to track changes based on the differences between generations. On the basis of the Theory of Generations, a toolkit was developed that makes it possible to identify the parameters of the value system of residents of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) belonging to different generations. The main method for collecting empirical data was a semi-structured in-depth interview with representatives of the selected generations.

From a monograph to a textbook: a soft commodification case
Authors:   Bashkir State University, Khairullin V.I.
Published: September 2021

Discussed is the problem of market relationships within higher school and in particular a notion from the sphere of paid-for education services, that is, a notion of soft commodification, under which the results of theoretical investigation are turned by the author of the investigation into a teaching material that may become a successful produce for the education market. This work is based on a wish to give a practical turn to fundamental research and even use the results of research in purely practical teaching activity. The practical tinge should be searched at advanced levels of an “educational institution — student” economic relationships, when the above dual combination embraces actors such as “research”, “author”, “textbook”, so that it looks as follows: “educational institution — author — research — author — textbook — student”. It is emphasized that the highest achievement as well as a thing of deserved pride for a scholar is his/her ability to make the results of his/her research understandable for students. This is what the author calls for, when he points out that a skill for transforming theory into a teaching material is highly valuable at present. This is an ability to distribute one’s work in the academic space in such a way that it fills in both its scholarly and educational parts and simultaneously enters the education market. The author offers an example of turning research results into a teaching matter. A sample textbook is based on the investigation of justice.

Direitos dos povos indígenas em disputa
Authors: Gómez Mateus Diana Paola
Published: September 2021

As formas de produção, sociabilidade e pessoalidade que não estão pautadas pela lógica capitalista estão sendo cada vez mais atacadas por interesses que buscam o rendimento econômico. Nessa lógica, a terra é um dos elementos de grande disputa, uma vez que, tanto o lucro produzido pelo agronegócio, quanto aquilo que se conhece como “renda da terra”, parecem estar acima da Constituição e, mesmo, da vida. É nesse meandro que se insere o livro “Direitos dos povos indígenas em disputa”, organizado por Manuela Carneiro da Cunha e Samuel Barbosa. Soma-se à reflexão crítica sobre direitos dos povos indígenas e traz como aporte principal a discussão de duas teses, a do “marco temporal” e a do “renitente esbulho”, pronunciadas na ementa da Pet. n. 3.388/RR – Raposa Serra do Sol. Essas teses estão sendo utilizadas nos debates sobre demarcação de terras indígenas com o objetivo de negar direitos a esses povos. O livro em questão é uma coletânea de trabalhos desenvolvidos por profissionais da área do direito, portanto, torna-se uma referência para antropólogos que desejam atuar na defesa dos direitos dos povos indígenas. Ademais, chama atenção para a necessidade de manutenção de investimentos na difusão das pesquisas antropológicas, de documentos, eventos e artigos fora do circuito especializado. É uma obra que insiste nos encontros de mão dupla entre a antropologia e outras disciplinas de tal modo que o efeito de nossas pesquisas garanta o exercício de direitos dos povos indígenas, em todos os espaços possíveis e com as ferramentas que desenvolvemos durante longos anos de estudo.

Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly caused havoc all over the world. Governments, healthcare personnel, and the general public are all struggling to survive the health crisis. In such calamity, the media plays an important role as it is able to impact public attitude and response towards the pandemic. Malaysia and Indonesia are two neighbouring countries that are equally affected by the pandemic. These countries share the same language and geographic location, but they have distinct populations, government systems, and ethnic identities. This study compares the news framing of Covid-19 in Malaysian and Indonesian newspapers to understand how socio-political and cultural similarities and differences affect how the health crisis is framed and presented. The Star (Malaysia) and Detik (Indonesia) were chosen to be studied in this paper, with a total of 369 news pieces obtained between 60 days after the first local COVID-19 case was discovered in the respective country. The findings suggest that the framing of Malaysian online newspapers was action-oriented, whereas the framing of Indonesian online newspapers was uncertainty-oriented. In addition, Malaysian and Indonesian internet newspapers were quick to report on the Covid-19 news. Both cited the government as their primary source and addressed risk bearers as their primary focus. This shows that despite their geographical proximities, the two countries had distinct ways of covering the pandemic.

Women's representation in the Indonesian legislative still does not meet the expectations of 30% of the total. In addition to the lack of representation of women in the legislature, the representation of young people especially the millennial generation is very minimal in the ranks of DPR members in the 2014-2019 period. Tsamara Amany Alatas, a 22-year-old woman who graduated from Communication Studies at Paramadina University, went on to run as a legislative candidate. Tsamara built his distinction on social media, especially Instagram. Tsamara always showed the feminine and young side he had as his campaign strategy. The research method used in this study is qualitative research using content analysis of Instagram posts which are then supported by interview data to informants. The results of the study indicate that the distinctive formation built by Tsamara where change appeared when he had entered the world of politics with an appearance that reflected young people who were casual and friendly with the aim of forming the perception that Tsamara wanted to be closer and accepted by society, so that he was not distant from society so that the branding of the millennial politicians that he brings can be conveyed well.

Pasar merupakan tempat bertemu antara penjual dan pembeli. Berbagai aktivitas jual beli dilakukan di pasar bahakan pasar sendiri dibedakan menjadi dua yaitu ada pasar yang bersifat tradisional dan ada pasar yang bersifat modern. Komponen yang paling penting agar pasar tetap berjalan yaitu adanya pedagang dan pembeli, pedagang yang ada di Kalimantan Selatan sendiri ada yang masih bersifat tradisional dimana mereka dikenal sejak dulu sebagai pedagang yang biasa menjual barang dagangannya dengan menggunakan kapal. Masyarakat menyebutnya dengan sebutan pedagang Nagara karena mereka berasal dari Daerah Nagara. Ada beberapa hal yang dilakukan para pedagang Nagara tersebut agar tetap dapat bertahan serta bersaing dengan pedagang lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran mengenai diversifikasi dagangan pedagang Nagara di Pasar Margasari Kecamatan Candi Laras Kabupaten Tapin.

Human displacement is on the rise globally, and the increase in the burden of tuberculosis (TB) is also attributed to migrations worldwide. A significant number of such displacement occur in regions with considerably higher areas of TB burden. Displacements may delay in TB diagnosis and treatment, which possibly will lead to TB transmission among healthy individuals. In this study, we assessed the association of existing determinants after a protracted internal displacement of people with the delay in TB diagnosis and treatment outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted on internally displaced TB patients registered at selected health facilities in three urban districts of Pakistan from March 2019 to February 2020. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the delay in diagnosis and treatment outcomes. IDPs with delay in initiation of treatment beyond 30 days were at high possibility of unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes (adjusted odds ratio AOR,2.60; 95% CI 1.06-6.40). Analysis of factors that affect health seeker behavior and timely treatment showed a significant association (p<0.05) in-between age group 55-65 years (AOR, 2.66; 95% CI 1.00-7.07), female patients (AOR, 2.42; 95% CI 1.21-4.81), visited non-formal health provider (AOR, 8.81; 95% CI 3.99-19.46), self-medication (AOR, 2.72; 95 % CI 1.37-5.37), poor knowledge of TB (AOR, 11.39; 95% CI 3.31-39.1), and perceived stigma (AOR, 8.81; 95% CI 3.99-19.4). Prolong delay in treatment was associated with unfavorable treatment outcomes among IDPs, more specifically. As migrants and IDPs are more likely to experience an interruption in care due to overall exclusion from social and health care services. Therefore, it is imperative to understand the barriers in providing public health care services, particularly in preventing and treating TB.

Being able to ascertain the physiological condition of the buds on a young apple tree before bud burst could help farmers manage their orchards more efficiently, especially if they could do so without destroying the buds in the process. The experiments carried out in this study were conducted with the aim of distinguishing shoot from non-shoot buds before bud burst using a visible/near-infrared spectrometer, a device that does not destroy the buds being tested. Tests on spring-planted (April 30, 2021) trees were conducted to check shoot and non-shoot bud physiology and the winter dormancy of young ‘Jonagold’, ‘Miyabi Fuji’ and ‘Orin’ apple trees. The light absorbance of the shoot buds before bud burst was much lower than the light absorbance of the non-shoot buds as checked on the visible/near-infrared spectrometer. The highest first factor effect was determined by a PCA test conducted on shoot and non-shoot ‘Jonagold’ buds (99.9%) at a range of 640-652 nm, ‘Miyabi Fuji’ buds (99.7%) at 654-680 nm and ‘Orin’ buds (99.6%) at 704-766 nm seven days before bud burst. We also found that the highest level of accuracy, using the Classifier analysis, between shoot and non-shoot ‘Jonagold’ buds (76.6%) was one day before bud burst, for ‘Miyabi Fuji’ buds (82.1%) it was three days before and for ‘Orin’ buds (76.3%) it was two days before. These findings suggest that growers can more effectively manage the development of the young trees in their orchards with a visible/near-infrared spectrometer.

Many engineered approaches have been proposed over the years for solving the hard problem of performing indoor localization. However, specialising solutions for the edge cases remains challenging. Here we propose to build the solution with zero hand-engineered features, but having everything learned directly from data. We use a modality specific neural architecture for extracting preliminary features, which are then integrated with cross-modality neural network structures. We show that each modality-specific neural architecture branch is capable of estimating the location with good accuracy independently. But for better accuracy a cross-modality neural network fusing the features of those early modality-specific representations is a better proposition. Our multimodal neural network, MM-Loc, is effective because it allows the uniform flow of gradients during training across modalities. Because it is a data driven approach, complex features representations are learned rather than relying heavily on hand-engineered features.
