Classificação ideológica de fontes informacionais: o paralelismo político na análise da atenção midiática multipartidária no Brasil
Authors: Santos Junior Marcelo Alves dos , Albuquerque Afonso de
Published: June 2024

Este artigo contribui com a pesquisa de comunicação política ao propor uma classificação ideológica de fontes informacionais de acordo com a atenção multipartidária no Brasil. Para isso, reproduzimos a metodologia de classificação da atenção midiática multipartidária no Twitter (Benkler; Faris; Roberts, 2018; Giglietto et al., 2019). Extraímos uma base de dados original de 2,95 milhões de tweets, postados entre 2019 e 2020 por 1.346 usuários. Os resultados apontam para uma realidade mais complexa do que o conceito clássico de paralelismo político descreve. A maior parte das fontes informacionais distribui sua atenção entre diversos grupos partidários. Sites insulares são menos citados e reproduzem identidades político-ideológicas mais amplas, sem alinhamento ou audiência exclusiva de um partido. Ao final, debatemos as implicações dos resultados para a teoria do paralelismo político.

ABSTRACT Objective: to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Resilience at Work Scale for the Brazilian context. Method: Methodological study comprising the stages of conceptual, item, semantic, and operational equivalences. Resilience at Work Scale is composed of 25 items (long version) and 20 items (short version), rated on a seven-point Likert scale. A test-retest was applied to a sample of 45 educators and health workers. Quadratic weighted Kappa and intraclass correlation were used. Result: The adaptation of the 25 items followed the phases of translation, back translation, external assessment, expert committee, pre-tests, test-retest reliability, and equivalence between the original and adapted versions. Two items initially showed less than 90% comprehensibility, but satisfactory results were obtained in a new pre-test after adjustments. The overall Intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.83. Conclusion: The final version of the Resilience at Work Scale 25-Brasil was properly adapted to the Brazilian culture to measure resilience at work. It is an Emancipatory Technology as it enables the implementation of knowledge that contributes to thinking, reflecting, and acting in the face of the individual or collective health-disease continuum.
Desindustrialização brasileira no século XXI: introduzindo o papel da demanda doméstica*
Authors: Vergnhanini Rodrigo , Onoda Suzana
Published: June 2024

Resumo O presente trabalho avalia a hipótese de que o desempenho da demanda doméstica contribuiu de forma decisiva para as transformações em curso na indústria brasileira ao longo dos últimos 20 anos. O objetivo é introduzir o papel da demanda doméstica, que tem sido praticamente ausente no debate industrial brasileiro - em geral, voltado à consideração dos “preços macroeconômicos” (como nas abordagens novo-desenvolvimentista e mainstream, embora de forma diferente) ou de aspectos microeconômicos (como na vertente neoschumpeteriana). Para tanto, avalia-se o desempenho da indústria de transformação nas duas primeiras décadas do século XXI, marcadas por diferentes contextos em termos de dinamismo macroeconômico. A análise fundamenta-se nos indicadores tradicionais de desindustrialização (participação do emprego e do valor adicionado da indústria de transformação no total) e na análise intrassetorial baseada nos critérios de eficiência schumpeteriana (que mede o potencial inovativo) e de eficiência keynesiana (que mede o potencial de crescimento da demanda).
Times of change in a Brazilian University: Insights from research into the language, literacy and digital practices of academics
Authors: Magalhães Izabel
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT: With the current policy of internationalization of federal universities in Brazil, with the design of an appraisal system, and with the rapid trend towards digitization, there have been far-reaching changes in the day-to-day organization of academic life and in the communicative practices of academics. Before the internationalization policy, the main language of research was Portuguese, but now there is a growing shift to English in some fields. This article focuses on the impact of these changes on the language and literacy practices of academic staff, and on the stances and strategies they have adopted vis-à-vis the changes. It draws on interviews conducted with academics during a critical ethnographic research project carried out in two federal universities in 2019. The focus was on their academic trajectories over time, their techno-linguistic biographies and their views on the changes. I present detailed insights from research conducted with three academics at one of the federal universities.

MHD NATURAL CONVECTION INVESTIGATION IN ENCLOSURES WITH A HEATED SEMI-CIRCULAR BODY ON THE INSIDE
Authors: Said Abdessadek Ait Haj , Dahani Youssef
Published: June 2024

Numerical analysis employing a finite volume method is used to explore the impact of a magnetic field and the radius of a heated semi-circular body on heat transfer by natural convection and fluid flow structures within a square enclosure. The current study is governed by specific control parameters, such as the Hartmann number (0 ≤ Ha ≤ 60), the tilt of the magnetic field (0° ≤ γ ≤ 180°), the Rayleigh number (103 ≤ Ra ≤ 106), and the size of the heated semi-circular body (0.1 ≤ R ≤0.4). The Prandtl number is set at Pr = 6.2. The results are presented using streamlines, isotherms, and mean Nusselt numbers. The outcomes show that raising the Rayleigh number and the radius of the heated semi-circular body improves heat transfer, while increasing the Hartmann number reduces heat transfer. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the direction of the magnetic field has a considerable and symmetrical effect on the flow and temperature fields, impacting heat transfer. Specifically, for Rayleigh numbers of Ra = 105 and Ra = 106, the Nusselt number is improved by 25.2% and 6%, respectively, as the angle y raises from 0° to 90°.

Published: June 2024

This study was motivated by the absence of studies examining the effectiveness and students' perceptions toward multimedia in learning concepts in astronomy related to the Bhutanese context. The study used an explanatory sequential mixed-method research approach with a pre-test and post-test experiment on a single group. The study examined the effectiveness of multimedia in learning astronomy concepts. Additionally, it also explored the perceptions of students toward the use of multimedia in learning astronomy concepts. The participants consist of 44-grade seventh students. The quantitative data was collected using an astronomy conceptual test. The qualitative data were collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with 12 students. Quantitative data was analyzed employing histograms and paired samples t-tests. To generate themes for the qualitative data, Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis was used in the study. The semi-structured interview data were analyzed to get the students' perceptions of multimedia. The quantitative result indicated that after the multimedia intervention, the performance on the astronomy conceptual test significantly improved. Moreover, students' perceptions were positive towards multimedia. However, students face certain challenges such as time constraints and being unable to discern appropriate information for astronomy concepts. It was recommended that multimedia could be used to learn concepts in astronomy.

Published: June 2024

The study explored the effectiveness of blended learning on students' academic performance in grade IX history subjects. A total of 51 students of grade IX participated in the study. The study employed a quasi-experiment approach. The study conducted an independent sample t-test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and one-way ANOVA test. The results of the study revealed that the blended learning approach (experiment group, M = 15.2, SD = 1.3) was more effective than the traditional learning approach (control group, M = 12.8, SD = 2.6) with a significant mean difference between these two groups (p = .000, p < .05). Thus, it can be concluded that blended learning approach was effective in increasing students' academic performance in history subject.
It is recommended that a blended learning approach can be carried out in schools to improve students' academic performance. Further, the present study focused only on students of grade IX, a study may be carried out across schools to get a deep understanding of the subject.

Published: June 2024

Teaching Biology in an innovative way has always posed challenges due to its complex terminology and abstract concepts. This study explored the effects of reality pedagogy as an alternative instructional strategy on learner motivation and academic performance in learning biology at the ninth-grade level. To achieve this, an experimental research design was employed, including a pre-test/post-test assessment, Biology Learning Motivation Questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The findings of the study revealed that the implementation of reality pedagogy had a positive influence on learner motivation in learning biology. Additionally, a significant correlation was identified and observed between motivation levels and academic achievement in the subject. The implications of these findings, as well as recommendations, are also discussed in the study.
The role of social capital in running women’s entrepreneurship
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Nagy Noémi
Published: June 2024

The aim of the current research is to examine how female entrepreneurs get access to social capital, how it is built, and how it is used at different stages of entrepreneurial processes. I wonder what kind of experience women entrepreneurs possess in networking and what role these social networks play in their effectiveness. Therefore, my research question is twofold: on the one hand, I want to explore the role whether social capital plays an important role in the activities of women entrepreneurs, and on the other hand, I want to examine the interpretations of the women entrepreneurs involved. The relevance of the planned study is given by the fact that less attention has been paid to the above-mentioned issue in the research of women entrepreneurs, not only in international aspects but also in domestic aspects such as in Transylvania. Furthermore, previous research has been mostly examined by using quantitative methods, so the novelty of the topic is also given by the methodological approach. The cross-sectional and analytical unit of my study will focus on women entrepreneurs. The basic population of the research is Hungarian entrepreneurial women operating in Transylvania, and I see my research questions as answerable above all by using an interview method. The research is based on 16 interviews, which give me the opportunity to directly get access the values, motivations and stories of the subjects, which are the core of my study. By mapping and understanding these issues can help various entrepreneurship programs and initiatives provide more targeted support to women considering to launch a business.
Social Media Discourses Concerning Pope Francis’ Visit to Csíksomlyó/Șumuleu Ciuc
Authors:   Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Hubbes László-Attila
Published: June 2024

Szeklerland, at the south-easternmost part of historical Transylvania, an ethnic Hungarian enclave in the middle of Romania, lies on the borderline between cultures, on the crossroads of religious denominations where western Christianity meets eastern Orthodox Christianity. Șumuleu Ciuc (Csíksomlyó in Hungarian) is a major historical Roman Catholic – Marian – pilgrimage site of Szeklerland, which has grown into a national holy site of Hungarians from all over the world. This place was included into the official itinerary of Pope Francis’ 2019 visit in Romania. The aim of this article – as part of our interdisciplinary research project titled “Videmus Papam. Social, Economic Aspects of Pope Francis’ 2019 Visit to Șumuleu Ciuc in Szeklerland’s Regional and Wider Contexts” identifying, mapping, describing, and analyzing the socio-religious, socio-demographic, economic-touristic, and media-representation aspects of the papal visit – is to investigate the echoes of the papal visit, with special attention to the personality and the role of Pope Francis, the ethnic identity of Szekler-Hungarians, the significance of the Marian pilgrimage site, the historical importance of the special occasion, the inter-ethnic relations between majority Romanians and minority Hungarians, the role of the church in religious and secular discourses. The investigation focuses, based on key terms, om the public discourses around the papal visit unfolding from the digital media contents, opinions, public comments appearing in social media, but the data obtained from the online questionnaires and interviews performed during the research project offer important insights as well. The texts and auxiliary materials (photos, videos) have been processed through qualitative discourse analysis methods – corroborated with the work and results of the members of the research team.
Sport Diplomacy in the European Union: The Development of a Soft Power Strategy
Authors:   Sciences Po Aix-en Provence, Bridgeland Daniel
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the emergence of sport as a tool of the European Union’s (EU) soft power, due to its popularity and cost-effectiveness. Public diplomacy is gaining momentum and is increasingly used by state and non-state actors as means to influence the behaviour of others. The EU is developing its sport policy, laying the foundations for what could become a formal sport diplomacy strategy in the future. Using a qualitative methodology combining content analysis, case studies and interviews, this paper studies the benefits of an EU sport diplomacy strategy and the form it should take. It argues that for the EU to gain a comparative advantage over other state and non-state actors, it should adopt a hybrid sport diplomacy strategy that is based on soft and smart power and reflects its norms, values, and unique structure. Key actions it should consider are collaborating with international (sport) organisations and developing grassroots projects. This thesis also provides recommendations for a future EU sport diplomacy strategy.

The aim of this study is to present the labour market characteristics of a disadvantaged region, the Érmellék, based The aim of this study is to present the labor market characteristics of a disadvantaged region, Érmellék, based on the results of qualitative research. Our choice of topic is part of a deliberate series of studies in the Érmellék region. In 2020, we investigated the silver economy in this area, and in 2021, we focused on the social entrepreneurial community in Bihor County. These studies provided us with a much deeper insight into a specific area of the Hungarian minority in Romania, with general characteristics of Érmellék including a disadvantaged situation, a double minority of Roma living in the area, a specific border existence (daily commuting to educational institutions and workplaces), a constant possibility of permanent emigration, limited labor market opportunities, an aging population, etc. Primary data collection through interviews aims to reveal labor market characteristics not apparent from available secondary data, such as the presence of atypical forms of work as a source of labor market vulnerability and informal economic arrangements between employer and employee. The central research question of the study was, therefore: What are the specific characteristics of the labor market in Érmellék? How prevalent are atypical forms of work and/or informal strategies, and how do employers and employees perceive this? Based on the results of the preliminary research conducted in the region and the present study, it can be said that Érmellék, as a small region, has specific characteristics unique to the region in terms of the labor market. These characteristics amplify the presence of atypical forms of work while simultaneously placing a strong emphasis on the use of informal labor market survival strategies, in addition to global influences.
AI and us – the Representation of Artificial Intelligence in Science Fiction Movies
Authors:   Emmaus, Gordán Dalma
Published: June 2024

AI is one of the defining and divisive issues of our present time. This paper aims to explore, through the plot and premise of thirteen science fiction films, the visual and content representations of the relationships between various forms of artificial intelligence and humans. Based on a qualitative text analysis, the study can be a useful contribution to understanding the subjective perceptions associated with this issue, since the narratives and assumptions of films, as pervasive popular cultural products, have a major impact on the climate of social opinion, the mood of the mass audiences and the preferred solutions. The description also outlines the broader context in which the films were made, focusing on the relationship between man and AI and its symbolic elements.

The article considers the algorithm of search results ranking according to the compliance with user's expectations due to the feedback on the data of search results pre-release, which allowed to reduce the time of search for the necessary information. A numerical experiment aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the proposed approach on the example of real estate objects is presented. Aggregated data of real estate listings were used as data, and the results of user surveys were used to evaluate the relevance. TOPSIS and PROMETHEE methods were used as pre-ranking algorithms. The ranking results were combined considering their order in the output of both methods. To implement the next step of the algorithm, the pre-release list was partitioned into classes for which users selected a few objects they liked. Machine learning models were trained on the partitioned data. Based on their average accuracy and variance estimates, a naive Bayesian classifier model was selected and used for subsequent computations. The results of further experiments showed the possibility of taking into account personal preferences when organizing search and selection of objects of interest in the absence of personalized statistics on the example of real estate objects. As a result of the experiments, the time of searching a group of results of interest was reduced by 74 % on average.
A Relationship between Classical and Bayesian Estimation Procedures through Fisher Information
Authors: Bhunia Shreya , Seal Babulal
Published: June 2024

The aim of this article is to investigate the association between the classical and Bayesian approaches through Fisher information. For any particular distribution, the computation of Fisher information is quite significant, as it provides the amount of information about the unknown parameter inferred from the observed data and is related to classical methods of estimation. Also, in the light of some prior knowledge, we may estimate the unknown parameter through Bayesian approach. Specifically, we want to see a relationship between information and Bayes estimation. In this article, the scale parameter of the one-parameter exponential distribution is estimated under the weighted squared error and Kullback-Leibler distance loss functions. The information acquired from both the classical and Bayesian methodologies have been connected through the risk intensity and error intensity which have been introduced in this article. The results of extensive simulation studies using these intensity measures show that the Bayes estimator performs more intensely as the amount of Fisher information increases. It is seen that the Fisher information, which is pivotal to many classical estimation methods, has a relationship with the Bayesian method depending on prior distribution, at least in this case, as the intensity measures of the Bayes estimator decrease with the increase in information. Further, to comprehend the theoretical notion of association, two real-life datasets have been included to show usefulness in practical field.
40 basic ideas to creating mass information theory
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Vladymyrov Volodymyr
Published: June 2024

One of the scientific paradoxes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries is the absence of mass information theory. This takes place at the height of the mass information age. Information theo- ry does not replace this lack. This theory is within the limits of exact sciences. The theory of mass communication is also not concerned with research into the nature of mass information. The author’s analysis of the scientific literature showed an almost complete absence of publica- tions on this topic in Ukraine, Europe, and the USA. In some places there were episodic appeals by scientists to the question of what mass information is. However, they did not constitute sys- tematic and in-depth research. In several scientific publications, the author raised the question of the necessity of creating such a theory. However, the reaction of the scientific community was rather passive. Therefore, the author decided to create the foundations of such a theory himself. Below are 40 basic ideas on which, in our opinion, a new scientific theory could be created.

Peculiarities of the communication system of a trade union organization as a public organization
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Udovenko Anna
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze and systematize the features of the communication system of a trade union as a public organization, taking into account its role in protecting the rights and interests of employees, highlighting the impact of these features on the internal dynamics of the organization and the effectiveness of achieving its main goals. The work uses general scientific methods and approaches. The key scientific approach that we used for the selection and justification of the methodology was socio-communicative. We studied all the sources and works of scientists using the analytical-synthetic method. With the help of a system approach, a single theoretical basis for own research has been created. We used the comparison method to highlight unique features that are unique to the communication systems of trade union public organizations. The inductive method was applied when comparing the views of researchers and scientists on the main concepts and terms of research. The study proved that the communication system of trade union public organizations is special and has its own characteristics. It was found that there are differences in the communication system of public organizations and the communication system of trade union public organizations in information transfer technologies and the number and types of stakeholders. It has been observed that this is influenced by the peculiarity of the Ukrainian legislation, which concerns public associations and the sphere of activity of trade unions. It was determined that «strikes» and «trade union bulletins» belong to the special technologies of information transmission in the communication system of trade union organizations. Also, a unique feature and one of the features in the communication process in trade unions is such a stakeholder as the «employer».
Single-Station Back-Azimuth Determination with the Receiver Function Rotation Technique Validated by the Locations of Earthquakes, Impacts, and Explosions
Authors: Sun Weijia , Tkalčić Hrvoje , Tang Qingya
Published: June 2024

The success of seismometer installations on the ocean floor, polar regions, remote continental areas, and even other planets’ surfaces has sparked renewed interest in determining the location via the azimuthal direction of a seismic event recorded by a single station, also known as the back azimuth (BAZ). However, classical algorithms for the BAZ estimate, like principal component and polarization analyses based on P-wave particle motions, are prone to ambiguities of 180°. Motivated by the sensor orientation correction techniques used for ocean-bottom seismometers and land stations for known event locations, we explore a receiver function rotation (RFR) method to determine the BAZ for events recorded by a single station. It is a parameter search over a range of horizontal component rotation angles from 0° to 360°. The fundamental feature of the method is that the direct P wave in the radial receiver function (RF) will have the maximum amplitude when the rotation from the ZNE system (vertical, north–south, and east–west) to ZRT (vertical, radial, and tangential) is aligned with the BAZ of the incoming P wave. Hence, the largest amplitude at zero time of the ensemble of RFs computed for different horizontal component rotations shows the optimal BAZ, which is consequently free of the 180° ambiguities. The technique’s performance is validated using the well-documented location of the 2017 Democratic People’s Republic of Korea nuclear explosion and over 1200 cataloged earthquakes on the two permanent stations in Australia. We further benchmark the RFR algorithm by the locations of two ground-truth Martian impact events documented by the orbital camera and recorded by InSight’s seismometer. Our method helps enhance the reliability of BAZ estimation as a complementary scheme to other methods. It can be used in remote areas on Earth and on the future missions to the Moon and other planets.
Implementation of the FAST Exam to Reduce Time to the Operating Room with Blunt Abdominal Trauma
Authors:   , Gibson Stacey N , Osborne Barbara Ruth
Published: June 2024

Background The Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) exam is a vital tool for promptly evaluating patients in the emergency department who have sustained blunt abdominal trauma (BAT). Its primary goal is to identify intraabdominal bleeding and hasten the process of initiating early surgical intervention. Methods During the 4-week PDSA cycle, 38 patients with known or suspected BAT were involved. Upon arrival, 32 of the patients underwent a FAST Exam. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the remaining 6 patients did not have a FAST Exam upon arrival and were subsequently excluded from the study. Results There was a remarkable improvement in the time lapses from patient arrival to the emergency department to surgical intervention between the pre-and post-standardization phases. The mean time decreased from 166.63 minutes before standardization to 80.16 minutes after standardization, showing an impressive overall improvement of 86.47 minutes. This noteworthy improvement was statistically significant, with a p-value of less than 0.05. Conclusion The data collected from this QI project unequivocally demonstrates that employing the FAST Exam significantly enhances the time frame comparisons between pre- and post-standardizations.

Confirmation frames lead to higher engagement rates than refutation frames across four countries. Confirmation frames are also associated with reduced negative emotions and affective polarization, which is vital for policy interventions targeting health misinformation and harmful speech. By reducing negative emotions and fostering positive ones, confirmation frames could contribute to a more constructive and less polarized online environment.

In vino poesis. Quelques reflexions sur les motifs sympotiques dans les Foricenia sive Epigrammatum libellus de Jan Kochanowski
Authors: Łukaszewicz-Chantry Maria
Published: June 2024

Le titre même du recueil, Foricenia, est associé à la fête, et la convivialité en est le trait de composition dominant. C’est dans cette même convention que le poète se présente parfois comme un pique-assiette de comédie. Des motifs sympotiques traditionnels et des références à l’ancien débat sur la source d’inspiration — tirée du vin ou de l’eau — apparaissent dans les Foricenia. C’est évidemment le vin qui l’emporte, et Kochanowski rejoint les rangs des poietai oinopotai. Dans ce recueil, le poète joue aussi du contraste des mots calor et frigus, qu’il utilise dans leur sens littéral (sensation physique de chaleur ou de froid) et dans leur sens métaphorique (calor en tant que chaleur inspirante et frigus au sens d’erreur stylistique). Le recueil se termine par une épigramme qui entre en dialogue plaisant avec l’œuvre de Catulle et souligne le caractère sympotique des Foricenia.
In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas. La poétique sympotique dans le poème Tempus fugit (conte) de Tadeusz Różewicz
Authors: Hobot-Marcinek Joanna
Published: June 2024

Le sujet des présentes réflexions est le phénomène et le topos du symposion et ses réinterprétations contemporaines dans les œuvres séniles de Tadeusz Różewicz. Dans ses œuvres tardives, le poète joue volontiers le rôle de sage et de bouffon, alliant le sérieux à la gaieté et le trivial au sublime. Les références de Różewicz aux règles de la poétique sympotique et le jeu du poète avec les conventions sympotiques sont un élément clé du poème tempus fugit (conte), qui est une référence littéraire au Banquet de Platon, au Banquet des savants d’Athénée et au Banquet de Xénophon. Le poème tempus fugit (conte) est donc une description de débats humoristiques et intellectuels sur la cuisine, les arts visuels, la littérature ou la philosophie, menés par le poète avec ses amis Ryszard Przybylski (essayiste, traducteur, historien des littératures polonaise et russe), Piotr Lachmann (metteur en scène et fondateur du théâtre expérimental « Poza ») et Jerzy Nowosielski (peintre, scénographe, théologien orthodoxe et créateur d’icônes). Le contexte interprétatif du poème dont il est question dans l’article est la correspondance à long terme du poète avec Ryszard Przybylski et son essai critique « Notes à Nowosielski ».
Value orientations of regional students: Sociological analysis
Authors:   Saratov State University, Kalinnikova Marina V. , Tolok Ekaterina S. ,   Balakovo Institute of Engineering and Technology of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute)
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the value orientations of regional students as a social group that has its own special evaluative attitude to the totality of material and spiritual benefits, expressed through cognitive, emotive and behavioral aspects of life. The article pays special attention to the theoretical approaches to the consideration of value orientations given in the works of E. Durkheim, T. Parsons, T. Lukman, K. Klakhonoma, P. Sorokin, J. Toshchenko and others. Understanding value orientations as one of the regulators of personality behavior allowed to identify the motivation of actions and ways to achieve the goals of regional student youth. In the course of the author's sociological research, a survey of the student youth of Balakovo was conducted (n= 332) – people selected according to a probabilistic quota sample. It was found out that a significant part of the respondents are guided by traditional values such as family (82.2%), health (49.3%), money (34.0%), friends (29.5%). However, students have new dominant forms of value orientations, namely, «to live in prosperity», «to open their own business». According to more than half of the respondents (50.3%), the formation of their value orientations depends on the educational system, while the family plays the largest role in shaping the value picture of the world (69.2%). The article concludes that the value orientations of students of the Saratov region (Balakovo city) are specific and contradictory. On the one hand, they express young people's own activity and understanding of the need for self-development, and on the other hand, they reflect the trends of the industrial economy, which is based on material capital and consumerism.
