Published: October 2021

Samples of water flowing from the abandoned prospecting gallery at the Grantcharitsa tungsten deposit and the accompanying ocherous iron oxide precipitates taken in different seasons are the subject of the study aimed at establishing the chemical and phase composition of ocher iron oxide materials and its relationship with water composition. The studied drainage waters are low-mineralized, with a pronounced seasonally dependent pH parameter. Water acquires the features characteristic of acid mine drainage only during the season of high waters, while at other time it is gradually neutralized. The low-crystalline (ferrihydrite+schwertmannite) precipitates formed in the place of water discharge are inhomogeneous with a variable content of Si, Fe, and W. It was found that the W content in them correlates with the Fe content.

The influence of social factors on the development of the motivational sphere of student youth
Authors: Yakovytska Lada
Published: October 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis and empirical study of the most promising developmental tasks of the modern educational environment for the development of new approaches to the organization and psychological support of the development of a person's productive activity. These tasks clearly demonstrate the relationship between the motivational sphere of the individual and the social environment, the effectiveness of the influence of social factors on the development of the individual, the importance of studying their hierarchization according to the degree of influence. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that the study of the possibility of a targeted impact through social factors, norms, requirements on the motivational-need sphere of a developing personality will allow to determine to a large extent, the direction of its development.

Our research is based on the assumption that the analysis of the motivational profile will allow us to understand how student youth comes to the realization of the need to coordinate the goals, requirements, wishes of the external environment with their own motivation. The aim of the study was to study the influence of the individual's objective attitudes on the structure of professional activity motives. To solve the set tasks, the following methods were used: the motivational profile of S. Ritchie and P. Martin, the test "20 statements". The results obtained by the method of S. Ritchie and P. Martin confirmed our hypothetical assumption, the respondents predominantly chose the objective components of the motivational structure, which were substantively related to the social expectations of the subjects (from society to themselves). The results obtained confirmed the prospects of studying the influence of social factors on the development of the motivational-need-related sphere of the individual. The analysis of social factors makes it possible to study and model the conditions that contribute to the rethinking of the actual situation by the individual and the creation of new meanings of activity that provide for a wider non-utilitarian social context that goes beyond the current situation.

Previous studies on the subject matter is very scarce and even in international journals only few papers appeared on entrepreneurship education in developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to study the current entrepreneurship education system in Sri Lankan state universities with reference to challenges and constraints and to propose an action plan to raise entrepreneurship education in Sri Lanka to be in par with that of developed nations so that these universities can act as the centerpieces of business innovations and entrepreneurship development. This paper employs an exploratory study approach by analyzing current entrepreneurship education system in Sri Lanka by reviewing secondary data such as various journals and government publications to build the arguments and recommendations outlined. Among constraints and challenges for the development of entrepreneurship education, lack of resources, lack of entrepreneurial skills in lecturers, poor stake-holder engagement, weak government policies and industry � university gap are common to most developing countries. In addition with its free education policy, Sri Lankan universities are faced with strict university entrance procedures and lack of selection of desired courses for majority of students. Findings of this study and salient suggestions will be an invaluable toolkit for policy makers to design effective strategies for entrepreneurship education in developing countries.

Pilgrimage to a Memory Hole: Towards an Affective Study of Fan Tourism in Asia via Angkor Wat and Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love
Authors: Promkhuntong Wikanda
Published: October 2021

This paper extends existing conversations on ”fan tourism” in East and Southeast Asia from the focus on economic advantages and impacts of blockbuster movies to the making of a ritualized space and affective experiences of audiences identified as fans/cinephiles. Using the case study of fan pilgrimage to Angkor Wat featured in the final sequence of Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love (2000), the paper draws attention to the formation of iconic and cinephilic location through various textual engagements. The paper explores the way ritualized moments featured in these writings relate to a tradition in cinephilia, which favours moments when things gain agency in the film. Drawing on contribution of works in fan studies, the paper further points to the way in which fans turn the iconic space and cinephilic moments into their own “places of the imagination” (Reijnders, 2011, 8) through re-enactment. The paper concludes by reflecting on the total experience of pilgrimage as a meaningful journey by discussing fans/cinephiles’ own ethical and social reflections.
Ken(shin)do(es it): Exploring Anime Fandom as a Driving Motivation in Practicing Martial Arts
Authors: Bautista Roehl Niño
Published: October 2021

Mass media has long been known for its capacity to influence and inspire its audience. Aside from being able to motivate viewers to consume a product and to participate in a real-world event, it can also spur them to engage in activities that are related to a television show’s theme. In connection with this last point, this study explores the link between the Japanese manga, anime, and movie series and cultural product Rurouni Kenshin and the Filipinos’ motivation in joining a kendo club. A survey of 50 Filipino kendoka or kendo practitioners, which covers questions regarding their exposure to the anime, movie, and/or manga versions of Rurouni Kenshin and their reasons in practicing the martial art, reveals the franchise’s significant influence on them, together with other factors such as generic interest in Japanese culture, self-improvement, and other media product influences.
At Home in Public: Intimacy and Belonging among Filipina and Indonesian Migrant Domestic Workers in Hong Kong in Ani Ema Susanti’s Effort for Love (2008) and Moira Zoitl’s Exchange Square (2007)
Authors: Piocos Carlos
Published: October 2021

This article discusses how Filipina and Indonesian domestic workers in Hong Kong claim and transform transnational sites as portrayed in Ani Ema Susanti’s 2008 short documentary film Mengusahakan Cinta [Effort for Love] and Moira Zoitl’s documentary video series Exchange Square (2007). The films depict how Indonesian and Filipina domestic workers negotiate precarious working and living conditions by deploying forms of intimacy, through their social practices and alternative sexualities, that enable them to gain agency in finding their own community and sense of belonging. This article argues that while their relationship to both private and public spaces in Hong Kong is transformed, these migrant women also actively transgress the borders of private and public spheres and personal and political realms.

Authors: Arong Maria Rose , Borlasa Jeneth
Published: October 2021

Although historically detached from the films of the so-called golden ages of Cebuano cinema in the 1950s and the 1970s, a new breed of Cebuano filmmakers have emerged in the 21st century. Through a series of interviews with Cebuano filmmakers, this article will map the alternative modes of distribution and exhibition in contemporary Cebuano cinema. In order to do this, the article begins with a discussion culled from a fresh interview with one of the brains behind the 1970s Cebuano blockbuster, Ang Manok ni San Pedro, Domingo Arong. Ang Manok provides a valuable roadmap for contemporary Cebuano filmmakers. In attempting to connect Ang Manok’s mode of distribution and exhibition with that of the contemporary Cebuano filmmakers, this article hopes to describe Cebuano cinema’s alternative modes of distribution and exhibition.

Development of the Ideological Culture of the Future Primary School Teacher in the Conditions of the New Ukrainian School
Authors: Olkhova Nataliia V.
Published: October 2021

The value system of the Organisation of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) aims to adapt the education system in Ukraine to progressive international standards in terms of prospects for Sustainable Development and lifelong education, while preserving the best traditions of national pedagogy. In the vector of such ambitious plans and positive prospects for qualitative transformations in education and other social existence areas, the NUS teacher's personality acquires central significance. The problem of developing a worldview culture become central. We propose to define it as a “positive worldview culture of the teacher”. The study aims to mutually integrate the concepts of the worldview culture of primary school teachers and the ideological, axiological and practical aspects of the NUS implementation. In preparing the study, the authors used observation, description, complex analysis, analysis of the regulatory framework for the implementation of the NUS and the updated standard of education, functional method, comparison method, System Analysis, generalisation and abstraction. As a result, the study analysed the concept of the worldview culture of primary school teachers, defined the directions and sources of developing worldview culture of future primary school teachers, and structured the main desirable features of the worldview culture of the future teacher of NUS formed during studying at HEI. The study found out that ideological culture is associated not only with the intellectual development and assimilation of universal knowledge in a ready-made form (uncritically, without rethinking), but also with the interpretation of this knowledge in the light of personal experience, personality-oriented values and attitudes. The article substantiates the importance of organising professional training of future primary school teachers to achieve a high academic indicator of mastering knowledge, practical skills, and a generalised higher level of competence readiness, which is a professionally determined worldview culture. The study actualises the necessity to pay increased attention to the part of organising the training of future NUS teachers to the fundamentally important concept of a positive worldview culture

Authors: Yatsyna Olena F.
Published: October 2021

The relevance of this study is conditioned by the need to identify the key preconditions and causes of increased violence in the workplace to find new methods of combating mobbing at both international and national levels. The purpose of this study is to analyse mobbing as a psychosocial and medical phenomenon, which is logical to consider with the symptoms of professional destruction. The study of mobbing syndrome took place in two stages based on synergetic methodology using such general scientific research methods as analysis, synthesis, comparison, and systematisation. The study identified the specific features of mobbing at the Ukrainian and world level. The authors considered the main causes of mobbing behaviour as a social issue, as a social phenomenon of the organisation, and as a form of collective violence. The study provides reasoning regarding the necessity of studying the mobbing syndrome from the standpoint of psychosocial and medical aspects. The authors analysed fractal dynamics of mobbing formation, presented in somatogenesis, psychogenesis, and sociogenesis. The study presents the main predictors of professional destruction, which include individual-personal, i.e., total control, manipulation, and conflict, etc., and clinical, which include emotional instability, narcissism, steroidism, and more. It is determined that the types of individual's socialisation develop in accordance with the defensive mechanisms that prevail upon restoring one's security. The study considered the specific features of the clinical aspect of personality disorder. The authors provided a general description of the narcissistic type of personality disorder as a structure of mobster. The practical value of this study lies in the interdisciplinary investigation of mobbing syndrome based on psychosocial and methodological factors
Psychological Background of Age Differences in the Adaptation of Ukrainian Winterers to Living Conditions in Antarctica
Authors: Miroshnychenko Olena A.
Published: October 2021

The relevance of the article stems from the fact that every year for 26 years, the expedition of winterers goes to the Ukrainian Antarctic Station “Vernadsky Research Base” to carry out scientific research. Their effective adaptation to extreme conditions of life provides qualitative psychological diagnostics and psychological recommendations. The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical justification and empirical evidence of the specific features of Ukrainian winterers’ age in the process of adaptation to the Antarctica conditions. To achieve the results of the study, the article uses the method of sociometric measurement J. Moreno, method of distributing topics by rank, questionnaire. The authors of the article analysed scientific works on the research problem, clarified the concept of “adaptation” and “adaptability” and age limits of the groups of winterers, described methodological tools and conducted empirical research on the specific features of the age of winterers groups during the adaptation. The article justifies the distribution and identifies groups of high, medium and low adaptability to life under extreme conditions in Antarctica. The authors analysed both the data from the empirical study and the interviews with the surveyed winterers. The study’s conclusions are: senior winterers have more experience adapting to extreme conditions than younger generations. They can build better interpersonal relationships in a closed community and easily carry distance from home and homesickness. The study revealed that senior persons (especially representatives of the “Generation of winners’ children”) motivate wintering in Antarctica with a desire for self-fulfilment, being worthy representatives of Ukraine on a distant continent, and feeling responsible for discharging their duties. After all, they are governed by more professional and social motivations that help to better adapt to extreme conditions. The practical value of the work is to develop tools for psychological diagnosis and to provide guidance on the selection of winterers among candidates for wintering

Accordingly, the purpose of the article is to provide theoretical justification and experimental verification of the impact that information and communication technologies have on improving the higher education quality for applicants. To achieve this purpose, a complex of modern general scientific methods was used: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalisation, comparison); empirical (questionnaires, conversations, interviews, observations, expert assessment); statistical research methods that facilitated the study of scientific sources on information and communication technologies. Based on the theoretical and methodological analysis of the studied issue, it is determined that information and communication technology is a means of joint activity for a teacher and a higher education applicant, which is characterised, primarily, by the consistency of actions (algorithmicity), constant and systematic evaluation of educational achievements and the development of educational qualities (diagnostics), the relationship of the main technology elements, namely the purpose, content, forms, methods, means of interaction, and the results (consistency) of participants in the educational process. It was discovered that to present the material more interestingly and motivate applicants for higher education, it is necessary to use innovative teaching forms and methods, one of which is information and communication applications that contribute to enhanced logical thinking, cognitive activity, the creativity of students and the comprehensive personality development of the future pedagogical specialist. It is proved that these applications contribute to the easier assimilation of new educational material, the creative performance of practical tasks, and productive cooperation between teachers and applicants for higher education. The practical value of the research lies in the fact that the results obtained can be used in further studies on the influence of information and communication technologies on the communication of the educational process subjects

The relevance of the study lies in the need to introduce corporate culture in the field of preschool education to improve the managerial level and pedagogical compliance of employees who influence the development of preschool children as individual members of society. The purpose of the study is to analyse organisational culture in the administration of preschool institutions, based on a comparison of Asian and European cultural paradigms. The research consisted of two stages, namely theoretical and empirical, and involved the use of general scientific research methods, including analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematisation, questionnaires, surveys, and statistical data processing. In the course of the study, foreign scientific literature was analysed in order to determine the phenomena of preschool institution administration and its corporate culture. An empirical study was conducted, the essence of which was an online survey among kindergarten administrators in Germany and Kazakhstan. It is determined that both the German and Kazakh corporate administration cultures have weaknesses, common to which is the lack of full-fledged freedom in decision-making and conducting activities. It was discovered that the two countries have a common view on the development of administrator's corporate competencies, including strategic importance, change management, leadership, performance management, learning orientation, responsibility, focus on results, activity, and social intelligence. It is confirmed that German kindergarten heads are distinguished by their productivity and focus on learning, while Kazakh ones attempt to pay attention to responsibility and thoroughness. The practical value of the research is to compare two views on the corporate administration culture in preschool organisations in the context of European and Asian paradigms

População Negra e Covid-19
Authors: de Saúde Coletiva Associação Brasileira
Published: October 2021

Marcadores sociais como raça, gênero, território e situação econômica têm impacto direto nos indicadores de infecções, mortes e na vacinação da Covid-19. Com intuito de obter respostas e propor alternativas para o combate mais efetivo da pandemia, levando em consideração os fatores adversos, pesquisadores do Grupo Temático Racismo e Saúde da Abrasco, Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva, têm trabalhado com esta temática. A produção de conhecimento somado à articulação com instituições estratégicas têm contribuído efetivamente para a elaboração de evidências fundamentais para a execução e monitoramento de políticas públicas de saúde, neste caso, voltadas para a população negra. Respondendo à necessidade de mudanças mais efetivas nas políticas públicas para mitigar o efeito da pandemia na população negra, em meados de 2020, o GT Racismo e Saúde da Abrasco recebeu apoio do Fundo de População das Nações Unidas (UNFPA) para a produção de análises sobre o impacto da Pandemia Covid-19 na população negra. Verificou-se que problemas estruturais da sociedade brasileira, como o racismo, a exclusão e falta de acesso aos serviços básicos projetam a população negra para o topo dos piores índices da pandemia no que tange ao número de vacinados e infectados, e, consequentemente, no total de óbitos. Este livro reúne 12 artigos com as análises feitas pelos integrantes do GT Racismo e Saúde da Abrasco sob a perspectiva racial, publicados na imprensa entre meados de 2020 até outubro de 2021.
