BOPP (biaxial oriented polypropylene) thin films are commonly used as book covers at schools in Vietnam. At the end of every academic year, a large quantity of BOPP book covers become waste. Therefore, the selective collection and recycling of this material are necessary. The plastic material was separated from paper directly by students from the school, and then it was shredded into small pieces and extruded into pellets with and without antioxidants. The composition of the commercial antioxidant was confirmed by FTIR analysis as a blend of 1:2 by weight of Irganox1010/Irgafos 168. The melt index test showed that after thermal aging of recycled PP pellets at 200 ◦C, they were strongly degraded. However, the addition of antioxidants to the recycled PP samples effectively protected them from degradation. The melt viscosity of recycled PP followed by a mini twin screw extruder also confirmed the protective role of the antioxidant. The larger the quantity of antioxidant used, the more stable the torque or melt viscosity of PP became. The optimal usage of 1% Irganox B 215 can protect PP from further degradation.

Jet is a special case of fossilized wood found in the northwest of Phu Quoc Island. By applying standard gemological methods and advanced analysis, including EDS, Raman, and FTIR spectroscopy, this paper aims to determine the identifying characteristics and gem quality of the jet from Phu Quoc Island for jewelry manufacturing. Jets from Phu Quoc display a gorgeous black color, opaque appearance, black streak, greasy to subvitreous luster, and a glossy fracture. The measured gemological indices include specific gravity - 1.24; refractive index - 1.66; inert under UV light; and isotropic. The deformed wood grain texture is visible under a microscope (400x and 100x). Chemical compositions are mainly carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen using EDS and Raman Spectroscopy. FTIR diagrams indicate that jet samples originated from the deformation of organic material, such as an ancient tree, with distinctive peaks at 2900 cm-1 (C-H), 1640 cm-1 (C-C), and 1200 cm-1 (C-O). The results show that the Phu Quoc jet is classified as a saltwater jet or hard jet. Hence, the jet from Phu Quoc is of good quality to be made into valuable ornaments and pieces of jewelry.

Carbon sequestration is obtained from the total accumulation of the element in both soil and plants. The enhancement has the capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and influence soil quality and fertility, thereby affecting plant biomass and crop yield. Therefore, this research aimed to compare the total carbon sequestration in rice field with different farming systems, determine soil characteristics, and identify the correlation between the total carbon sequestration and impact on rice yield. An exploratory-descriptive method was used through field survey and laboratory analysis. The locations were mapped by overlaying the Indonesian landform map of the Girimarto District with various rice field systems, soil types, and slopes. Furthermore, the 12 Land Mapping Units (LMU) with 3-time repetitions resulted in 36 sampling points. Data were processed by calculating total carbon sequestration and statistical tests such as one-way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation. The results showed that rice field farming systems affected the total carbon sequestration. Organic farming had the highest total carbon sequestration value of 72.49 Mg/ha and the increase had a strongly positive correlation with crop yield of paddy. Crop yield in organic farming were higher than in semi-organic and conventional systems by 8.92 tons/ha. Factors that determined total carbon sequestration were soil C-organic and microbial biomass C. The suggested improvement recommendations were the transition of conventional and semi-organic farming as well as adding a variety of organic fertilizers such as biofertilizers.

Introduction. In case of serious social upheaval, the ability of social groups to consolidate (determined by the sociocultural identity stability of group members and by the basic values that underlie this identity) is of particular importance for the preservation of society. In this regard, studying the structure of the sociocultural identity of young people not only formally but also value and meaning-wise is extremely relevant, since understanding its content allows predicting the behavior of social actors, competently organizing identity formation and correcting the problems that arise. The study aims to identify valuemeaning complexes that form the basis of the sociocultural identity of higher school students. Research materials. The study involved students of V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University (Crimea). Methods: 1) projective study of associative complexes, based on the method of free associations using graphic stimulus material (200 informants); 2) psychological testing ‘Who am I?’ by M. Kuhn and T. McPartland (200 informants); 3) sociological survey (1000 respondents). Results. The study revealed that the sociocultural identity of students involves a sharp distinction between ‘near’ and ‘far’ social space. The meaning content of the images ‘state’ and ‘society’ shows that for a significant proportion of respondents these are perceived as sources of external coercion, violence and subordination (51.4% and 41.5%, respectively). The value ‘Motherland’ is closely related to family, comfort and care (15.9% of the total number of associations), making it a value of the ‘near’ social space; however, associative complexes around ‘state’ and ‘society’ can have a negative transformational impact on this socially significant value. Conclusion. The results of the study can be used by psychologists and teachers implementing educational programs in higher educational institutions and can prove useful in drawing up a general concept of educational work with the young generation at the level of an educational institution.

Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Chernyakevich Elena Yu.
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The relevance of studying the factors that cause neuropsychic stress is associated with the emergence of new challenges and dynamic changes in society that have a negative impact on the physical and mental well-being of a person. Increasing the level of tolerance to uncertainty and choosing an adequate career direction are a successful coping strategy in solving problems of neuropsychic stress (hereinafter referred to as NPS) of students. The purpose of the study is to study tolerance to uncertainty and career orientations of students with different levels of mental stress. Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (N = 194), using diagnostic tools: «Nervous-mental stress scale (NPS)» by T.A. Nemchin, methodology «Study of career orientations» by E. Shein, «Uncertainty Tolerance Scale, MSTAT-I» by D. McLane, adapted by E. G. Lukovitskaya, E. N. Osina. To process the data, the following methods were used: descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion, Student's t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient (r), regression analysis (step-by-step method). Results. In the sample of respondents, the career orientation toward «autonomy» and «service» predominates. Indicators of tolerance to uncertainty are at an average level. It was revealed that the sample of young people included students with high (22%), average (31%) and low (47%) levels of neuropsychic stress. Reliably significant differences were found in groups of students with high and low levels of neuropsychic stress in career orientations: respondents with a low level of mental stress are more focused on «challenge» (5,7 ± 1,9; p < 0,001) and «integration of lifestyles» (7,2 ± 1,3; p < 0,05). In groups of students with high and average levels of SPN, career orientations are negatively correlated with neuropsychic stress. In young people with a high level of NPI, the greatest contribution to increased stress is made by the indicator «attitude to uncertain situations» (R²=0,45). The prognostic parameter for students with an average level of NPI is the career orientation «integration of lifestyles» (R²=0,20). Career orientation «service» (R²=0,19) acts as a significant predictor of NPI in young people with low levels of mental stress. Conclusion. The results obtained may be of interest to researchers dealing with the problem of neuropsychic stress and the factors that cause it.

Introduction. The issues of assessing, preserving and strengthening a person’s potential resource towards ensuring proper quality of life, subjective well-being and life satisfaction at a later age are relevant for many social spheres, including education. The aim of this study is theoretical substantiation and empirical verification of the structural-functional model of personal resource capacity at a later age as a person’s integral characteristic. Materials and methods. The empirical study involved 528 respondents aged 45 to 75 years living in different regions of Russia (the majority – in the Ural Federal District). Two comparison groups were identified: the second maturity period (45-60 years old) and the elderly age (60-75 years old). A set of seven psychodiagnostic techniques selected in accordance with the components of a hypothetical model of personal resource capacity (regulative, life-conscious, life period perception component) was implemented. The methods of descriptive and comparative statistics as well as factor analysis were used for data processing. Results. The structural-functional model of personal resource capacity at a later age including the components “Life management”, “Age acceptance”, “Positive coping strategies”, “Age assimilation” was empirically verified and specified (the share of factor-model explained variance was 32,9%). The peculiarities of personal resource capacity at the second period of maturity and elderly age were revealed (the share of factor-models explained variance was 33.1% and 36.1%, respectively). The differences in the level of individual resources in all components of one’s potential are described, showing both the general decrease in resources in the course of transition to elderly age and the changes in attitudes towards them. Discussion and conclusion. The substantive content of the potential-resource adjusted components has confirmed its integral nature as a characteristic that takes place at a later age, allowing one to realise, redistribute and use the resource opportunities. The obtained results made it possible to differentiate the approaches to resource management at a later age. Educational technologies are effective both at a mature and elderly age, but their realisation should be carried out in conjunction with reflexive/evaluative methods in the programmes for mature-age learners, as well as with the methods of psychological support for elderly subjects of education.

This problem is multi-vector, it is considered in different branches of knowledge. Human capital (HC) is the most valuable resource of the digital society, and the creativity of HC is the driving force of scientific progress. This is especially relevant for the higher education system, since it is here that the foundations of professional competencies and personal characteristics of future labour market actors are laid. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of creative human capital and to consider the possibilities of assessing its manifestation in organizational behaviour in the context of digitalization of higher education. Research methods. It was used the methods of monographic and statistical analysis, as well as the author's methodology based on a modified system of indicators (R&D potential; innovation potential; creative potential). The methodology uses dynamic and equity coefficients in order to universalize the method and the possibility of evaluating creative HC for different objects and different conditions. The authors’ methodology uses a modified system of indicators, which are presented in national statistical systems and which group dynamic and share coefficients according to their functional purpose. Results. The study is both theoretical and applied, as it contributes equally to the theory and practice of organizational behavior. In the theoretical part, the authors considered four key issues: 1) human capital and creativity; 2) the concept of creative HC in the digital economy; 3) key trends in the development of higher education in the global economy; 4) increasing role of creative HC in organizational behavior in the context of digitalization higher education and methods for its assessment. In the practical part, the authors set and realized the goal of developing a universal methodology for assessing creative HC. The calculations of creative HC use the example of the higher education sector in Russia and Belarus. Conclusion. The authors have developed a methodology that can be used can be used for different subjects (countries, supranational entities, regions, organizations) and in different conditions (for example, digitalization higher education). Based on the analysis of scientific works on modern forms of HC reproduction, the authors propose main directions for smart scenarios of the HC development, especially relevant for the higher education system.

Authors:   Al-Balqa' Applied University, Al-Raggad Fatima Eed
Published: January 2024

Introduction. The roles of Parent and Teacher Councils in modern schools cannot be overstated. Principals, teachers, and guidance counsellors all agree that working together is crucial to addressing the chronic problem of bullying in schools. This cooperation provides a comprehensive method for making schools safer and more supportive places for students to learn. Aim. The focus of this study was on how school administrators, classroom teachers, and guidance counsellors view the role of parent and teacher councils in preventing and responding to bullying in the upper basic grades. Study participants and methods. Because schools were selected at random among those associated with the Wadi Al-Seer Education Directorate, the study population included all members of those schools' parentteacher councils. There was a total of four hundred (400) school administrators, classroom instructors, and guidance counsellors included in the sample. The first section of the closed questionnaire focused on the part played by parent and teacher councils in combating physical bullying. This section was one of three and contained ten questions per domain. Results. Physical bullying, verbal bullying, and psychological bullying were found to be the top three areas where parent-teacher councils can make a difference in avoiding bullying among children in the upper basic level, the means were (3,57, 3.67, and 3.65) respectively. The results demonstrated the efficacy of a collaborative effort including parents, teachers, the director, and a school counsellor to reduce bullying among secondary school students. Involving parents, principals, teachers, and guidance counsellors in the councils has been demonstrated to promote communication between schools and their students' families, to lower psychological barriers between kids and their peers, and to increase student achievement, teachers and parents can work together to address challenges that students confront and share their opinions on child rearing through these councils, which take place in the context of the students' culture and the community between the classroom and the home. Practical significance. Research into the effectiveness of Parent and Teacher Councils in the fight against school bullying demonstrates the need of coordinated community action. The councils do double duty by reducing bullying in schools and improving home-school communication by bringing together teachers and parents. The results offer useful information for enhancing anti-bullying initiatives and promoting the wellbeing of students. This study can be used as a guide by schools all over the world to implement their own anti-bullying policies

Introduction. The process of Vietnam’s ever-growing international integration into the modern global economy places increasingly high demands on educational institutions, especially in the digital age. Having effective strategies for teaching engineering and technology-profile students according to the core principle of the innovative educational environment (known as CIOD: Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) is extremely important and vital for the universities engaged in training a new generation of engineers, particularly, in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, towards meeting the needs of the international labour market. Materials and methods. The research involved the managers, teachers, academic advisors and students of Vinh Long University of Technology Education (Vietnam). The total number of respondents was 191, of them 45 managers, 56 teachers and academic advisors and 90 students. The information collected at the University of Technology Education was split into 2 stages: stage 1 from 1 to 31 March 2022 and stage 2 from 1 to 31 March 2023. Results. The students demonstrated much better skills in planning their learning activities at the 2nd stage of the survey (p < 0.05). The students developed good skills in setting objectives, content and methods of learning, as well as in self-examination and evaluation of success in the realisation of own study plans. Making study plans, organisation of their implementation, checking, evaluating, improving and correcting these plans are also important skills for students. Positive results were also obtained for the use of other efficient strategies for study skills training by the engineering and technology-profile students: strategies for practising effective study skills (p < 0.05) and strategies for practising students’ soft skills (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The acquisition of professional skills for engineering and technology-profile students of Vietnamese universities practicing CDIO is a key to their sustainable development and, in general, to highquality education in Vietnam.

Introduction. According to the report of the international Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), one of the trends in education in 2022 is recognised as the creation of an educational environment capable of meeting the needs of diverse learners and, at the same time, forming global competencies of the 21st century, as well as being accessible and adaptable for all population groups. This person-centred approach to learning and the trend towards continuous growth in the number of students predetermine the relevance of replacing traditional teaching formats with adaptive ones. At the same time, the widespread digitalisation of education and the emergence of blended teaching models provide opportunities for implementing the principles of adaptive learning in higher education. The objective of the article is to identify the dynamics of the level of students' independence and self-control during the transition from traditional to blended adaptive teaching model, as well as to evaluate its effectiveness in teaching linguistic students. Materials and methods. The strategy of microlearning was used in modelling the learning content. To achieve the objective of the study an experiment was conducted at Southern Federal University (SFedU), Institute of Philology, Journalism and Intercultural Communication. It involved 4th year students within the applied bachelor’s program in the study area «Pedagogical education with two majors (Russian and English)» within the framework of the theoretical course «English Lexicology» from 2020 to 2022. The results of the pedagogical experiment were analysed using the nonparametric Pearson χ2 -criterion. Results. After the experimental and control group students being subjected to final double testing on identifying the level of foreign language competence and educational maturity the data analysis showed higher scores for students in the experimental group (significance level p = 0.048 < 0.05 for Final Test and p = 0.031 < 0.05 for Final Questionnaire). In the course of the research, the authors came to the conclusion that the teaching process within the «flipped classroom» model framework based on the technological adaptation of a discipline has increased the level of academic achievement in English Lexicology as well as educational maturity. Conclusion. Adaptive learning in a distance format via a «flipped classroom» model meets the maximum requirements for adaptive courses, such as the personalization of student learning with the construction of individual educational trajectories, systematic monitoring of mastering micro-themes and modules of the discipline as well as implementing controlled pedagogical influence with a facilitative role of a teacher.
