Inhibitory effect of casein and alpha-lactalbumin on Chryseobacteria spp. isolated from milk and dairy products
Authors: Dina N. A. , Elsherif W. M.
Published: January 2024

In this study, pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria Chryseobacteria spp. were isolated by a new method from 150 samples of raw milk (26/50), heat-treated milk (HTM) (5/50) and butter (2/50). The species with the highest prevalence was C. indologenes (10.67%) followed by C. bovis and C. gleum (4.67% each), and C. bernardetii (2%). The three new strains C. bernardetii, C. gleum, and C. indologenes were named MW703610, MW703611, and MW703612, respectively, with identities ranging from 97.8% to 98.9%. Gene sequencing was performed on some isolates and proved the highest sequence similarity for C. bernardetii WD1 (97.8%), C. gleum WD2 (98.9%) and C. indologenes WD3 (98.9%). Most of the isolated Chryseobacteria spp. showed proteolytic and lipolytic activity. Therefore, casein and alpha-lactalbumin were used as natural antibacterial substances against all isolates. Higher bioactivity against the isolates was obtained using casein rather than the alpha-lactalbumin. Based on these results, casein and alpha-lactalbumin may be promising natural bioactive agents against pathogenic Chryseobacteria spp. Further studies should be done to establish the natural peptide fractions associated with the observed activity.

For the considered system, sufficient conditions of stochastic ultimate boundedness, stochastic permanence, nonpersistence and strong persistence in the mean are obtained.
On min- and max-Kies families: distributional properties and saturation in Hausdorff sense
Authors: Zaevski Tsvetelin , Kyurkchiev Nikolay
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this paper is to explore two probability distributions originating from the Kies distribution defined on an arbitrary domain. The first one describes the minimum of several Kies random variables whereas the second one is for their maximum – they are named min- and max-Kies, respectively. The properties of the min-Kies distribution are studied in details, and later some duality arguments are used to examine the max variant. Also the saturations in the Hausdorff sense are investigated. Some numerical experiments are provided.
Red box, green box: A self-report behavioral frequency measurement approach for behavioral addictions research
Authors: King Daniel L. , Billieux Joël , Delfabbro Paul H.
Published: January 2024

Behavior frequency measures in behavioral addictions research fail to account for how engagement in the activity relates to each respondent's personal circumstances. We propose a “Red Box, Green Box” method, an alternative to conventional self-report behavior questions. Participants report two distinct time-based values: (1) Green box: time spent engaged in the activity during ‘free’ time, and (2) Red box: engagement in the activity at times when the respondent should be doing something else (e.g., studying, working, sleeping, exercising, etc.). Some practical examples of the ‘red box, green box’ method are provided. This method may help to calibrate behavioral frequency for each respondent and yield clearer insights into displacement effects and risks associated with frequency of use. We suggest some future research directions to test the feasibility and utility of this approach in different implementations.
The impact of long-term online learning on social anxiety and problematic smartphone use symptoms among secondary school students with different levels of fear of missing out: Evidence from a symptom network and longitudinal panel network analysis
Authors: Tao Yanqiang , Tang Qihui , Wang Shujian , Zou Xinyuan , Ma Zijuan , Zhang Liang , Liu Gang , Liu Xiangping
Published: January 2024

Background

The advancement of communication technology and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to an increased reliance on online education. However, the effects of the long-term use of smart devices for online learning on students' social anxiety and problematic smartphone use (PSU) and the role of fear of missing out (FoMO) in this process have yet to be fully explored.

Methods

This study analysed longitudinal data from 2,356 high school students (female = 1,137 (48.26%), mean age = 13.84, SD age = 1.37) in China, divided into high- and low-FoMO groups based on their scores on the FoMO scale, to examine the impact of four months of online learning on social anxiety and PSU. The Social Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI) were used to assess social anxiety and PSU symptoms.

Results

The undirected symptom networks revealed more bridge symptoms among the students in the high-FoMO group, although their overall symptom scores decreased. The results of the directed cross-lagged panel networks showed that “productivity loss” predicted other symptoms in the low-FoMO group but that “afraid of negative evaluation” was the predictor in the high-FoMO group. Meanwhile, “withdrawal/escape” and “productivity loss” were the symptoms that were most affected by other symptoms in the high-FoMO and low-FoMO groups, respectively.

Conclusions

The current study therefore sheds light on the changes in social anxiety and PSU symptoms among secondary school students during long-term online learning, as well as the moderating role of FoMO.

Published: January 2024

Metacognitive awareness (MA) plays an important role in classroom learning as it enhances self-teaching capabilities on students. Therefore, it is necessary to know the level of awareness possessed by a teacher. This study aimed to describe metacognitive awareness profile of prospective chemistry educators. The method of research is descriptive quantitative using survey methods. The participants consisted of students undergoing their final semester. The instrument used was the MAIT-18 (Metacognitive-Awareness Inventory for Teachers-18). This instrument has two indicators, specifically cognitive knowledge and regulation. The results showed that students had a good level of cognitive knowledge and regulation with 80% and 77%, respectively. Therefore, the overall percentage of metacognitive awareness obtained was 80%. These results suggest that prospective chemistry educators have a good awareness of metacognition. This is indicates they can influence positive things on students, foster autonomy in teaching and learning, also can be an asset to be an effective teacher.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Special Education, P P , P P
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to develop SPecial education’s Ultimate Outcome Index(SP-UO-Index)
for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities(IDDs). The “2021 Work and Life
Survey for the Individuals with Developmental Disabilities” data from the Korea Employment Agency
for the Disabled(KEAD) was used. The data of 549 individuals with IDDs was analyzed. The 8
sub-areas and 22 indicators of “the ultimate outcome of special education” were confirmed using
suitability assessment from a panel of special education experts: six university professors of special
education and 14 special education teachers. The special education’s ultimate outcome index for
individuals with IDDs was developed and validated using the Cronbach’s α coefficient and Pearson’s
correlation index. In order to confirm the overall model fit of the index, χ2, RMSEA, CFI, and TLI were
analyzed. The ultimate outcome of special education consisted of the 8 sub-areas: employment,
postsecondary education, self-care and domestic living skills, daily living common competence,
community participation, self-determination, health maintenance, and life satisfaction. This study is
significant in that it was the first to conceptualize the ultimate outcome of special education for
individuals with IDDs and develop the special education’s ultimate outcome index in Korea.
Furthermore, this index could promote further domestic and international discussions on the quality
enhancement of schooling and the postschool outcomes for students with IDDs.

Published: January 2024

In this study, we examined the perceptions of parties, parents, teachers, and experts regarding

characteristics and educational support needs by life cycle of learners with borderline intellectual

functioning, focusing on Gyeonggi-do. A total of 52 people were selected as research participants,

including 6 adolescents with borderline intellectual function, 6 young adults, 8 parents, 13 teachers,

and 19 relationship experts, and in-depth interviews were conducted. As a result of analyzing the

interview data through continuous comparative analysis, the interview results were divided into 16

superordinate categories and 38 categories centered on two main themes such as characteristics

and educational support needs of learners with borderline intellectual functioning. Regarding

subcategories, 82 contents were derived. Learners with borderline intellectual functioning who

participated in the study were experiencing difficulties in learning and social adaptation throughout

their entire life cycle, from preschool to adulthood, and related experts said that life cycle-specific

support at the national level was needed for these learners. Based on the research results,

implications on the direction of support for each life cycle were presented.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of schools for positive latent curriculum

experiences by examining the latent curriculum experienced by people with intellectual disabilities

in general high schools. The participants in the study were six graduates and students from special

classes at general high schools, and a total of eight interviews were conducted using photovoices.

The collected data were analyzed according to a practical and comprehensive analysis procedure,

and five upper categories, 13 lower categories, and 53 semantic units were derived: ‘Integrated

classes like a cactus on the desert’, ‘Special classes I don’t want to leave’, ‘Precarious online class’,

‘Work Life Appreciating What We Learned in School’, ‘My dream school’. As a result of the study,

the latent curriculum experienced by people with intellectual disabilities showed differences

depending on the learning space, and the latent curriculum they experienced had an impact on

their professional lives after graduation. Additionally, it was found that people with intellectual

disabilities want schools to be positive spaces. Based on the research results, the direction of

improvement for a positive latent curriculum experience was discussed.

Ihmiskuntana hyvinvointimme on täysin riippuvaista luonnon monimuotoisuudesta – lukemattomista muista lajeista ja niiden elinympäristöistä. Elämän yhteenkietoutuneisuus ja sen arvo itsessään vaatii meiltä kohtuullisuutta luonnonvarojen hyödyntämisessä. Perimmäinen syy niin monimuotoisuuden ehtymiselle kuin ilmastonmuutokselle on elämäntapamme, joka kannustaa kasvavaan kulutukseen, jota globaalisti kasvava väestö edelleen ruokkii1 . Suomi on sitoutunut tavoitteeseen pysäyttää monimuotoisuuden köyhtyminen vuoteen 2020 mennessä. On selvää, että tämä tavoite karkaa käsistämme, aivan kuten se teki vuonna 2010. Suomessa elinympäristöjen tila on heikentynyt keskimäärin 60 prosenttia verrattuna luonnontilaan2 , lähes puolet Suomen luontotyypeistä on uhanalaisia3 ja Suomen lajien uhanalaisuus on viimeisen kymmenen vuoden aikana lisääntynyt entisestään4 . Uhanalaisuuden syyt täytyy ymmärtää, jotta voimme tehdä tarpeelliset poliittiset päätökset monimuotoisuuskadon pysäyttämiseksi. Suurimmat uhanalaistumista aiheuttavat toiminnat niin Suomessa kuin muuallakin maailmassa tyydyttävät kasvavaa kulutustamme ja liittyvät pääsääntöisesti metsä- ja maatalouden harjoittamiseen sekä infrastruktuurien rakentamiseen Elonkirjon ehtyminen ja ilmastonmuutos ovat läheisessä vuorovaikutuksessa keskenään; monet päätökset voivat auttaa sekä monimuotoisuutta että ilmastonmuutoksen torjuntaa ja siihen sopeutumista. Monimuotoisuuden suojeleminen vaatii kuitenkin myös erillisiä toimenpiteitä. Suuret ihmiskunnan tulevaisuuteen vaikuttavat päätökset tarvitsevat tuekseen monialaista yhteistyötä eri alojen tutkijoiden ja sidosryhmien edustajien välillä, mutta erityisesti tarvitaan parlamentaarisesti sovittuja, pitkäkestoisia päätöksiä luonnon monimuotoisuuden turvaamiseksi. Tässä julkaisussa riippumattomat tutkijat ja asiantuntijat tarjoavat suosituksia päätöksistä jotka auttavat jos luonnon monimuotoisuuden taantumista halutaan hillitä.
From Elegance to Complexity: The Intricate Dance of Myometrial Stem Cells Transforming into Leiomyoma Stem Cells: Unraveling the Symphony of Genetic and Epigenetic Refinement
Authors:   Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA, Vafaei Somayeh
Published: January 2024

Uterine leiomyomas (LM), commonly referred to as uterine fibroids (UFs), pelvic tumor in women of reproductive age globally and are main indicators of hysterectomies if become symptomatic. The progression of uterine LM involves a complex interplay of hormones, stem cells, growth factors, and genetic/epigenetic irregularities. Both endometrial and myometrial stem/progenitor cells play pivotal roles in the uterus’ response to hormonal stimuli and return to its basal state. LM, arising from a single stem cell of smooth muscle cells with acquired mutations, exhibit diverse cellular transcriptomic patterns influenced by genotype. Affecting over 70% of women at some point in their lives, with significant clinical symptoms, such as pelvic pain, infertility, and heavy uterine bleeding. Recent literature underscores the potential importance of LM stem cells and their paracrine interactions with specialized cells, connecting the gap between medications targeting leiomyoma expansion and potential eradication strategies. Keeping these points in view, this review discusses the current understanding of the involvement of myometrial stem/progenitor cells and the genetic and epigenetic changes occurring in these cells during the pathogenesis of uterine LM.

Digital support for risk assessment – pilot study at schools in Rhineland-Palatinate Objective: Risk assessments are an important tool for ensuring health and safety at the workplace. Despite the legal requirement to do so, few organizations carry out risk assessments. Frequently mentioned obstacles are a negatively assessed cost-benefit ratio and a supposed lack of significant hazards. To counteract these obstacles and to enable organizations to carry out risk assessments, a digital tool to support risk assessment (“Cockpit IfL”) was developed and evaluated. Method: The tool was evaluated in a pilot study with 20 schools with regard to acceptance and practicability. Data was collected through the use of an online questionnaire as well as interview surveys. Result: The results of the pilot study provide initial indications that digital support in risk assessment can overcome central obstacles to its implementation. The participating schools were generally very satisfied with the tool, rated the cost-benefit ratio positively and can imagine conducting regular risk assessments with it. Conclusion: If the results are confirmed in a larger, representative sample, digital support is a very promising approach to increasing the rate of risk assessments. Keywords: risk assessment – school – teachers health – occupational safety – digital

Precision Health in Occupational Health and Safety: A literature search and recommendations for action Objectives: Findings from related areas indicate that “precision health” offers numerous advantages and benefits for action in occupational health and safety practices as well. However, so far only few studies from the workplace can be explicitly assigned to “precision health”, which seems surprising given the high degree of innovation in workplace health promotion programs (WHPPs). Therefore, this scoping review aims to present health interventions from WHPPs that follow the “precision health” approach and to derive recommendations for action. Methods: Several international databases were systematically searched for studies on health interventions at the workplace and “precision health” (publication period: 2010–2023). Results: A total of 70 studies reported on WHPPs which implemented the “precision health” approach. Most of the studies addressed healthcare workers, whereas e.g. construction workers were the least targeted. In addition, most interventions focus on health-related behaviours such as physical activity/sedentariness. The majority of the studies implemented “precision health” in personalized training or learning programmes. This personalization was almost always based on a single data collection point, while machine learning has hardly been used in WHPPs as yet. Conclusions: The included studies show that “precision health” to some degree already implemented in WHPPs. Nevertheless, occupational health and safety experts should transfer these implementations to WHPPs in other occupational groups (e. g. the service or construction sector) and areas of prevention (e. g. mental health or work-related factors). In addition, existing data could be analysed by machine learning to directly support employers, occupational health and safety officers and employees through person-oriented feedback. Keywords: precision health – addressee orientation – occupational health and safety – personalized workplace health promotion programs
Representation of Actual Parenthood Statuses in the Russian Media: an Overview of Practices in Terms of Media Transit
Authors: Frolova Tatiana , Frolova Vera , Nurilova Polina
Published: January 2024

The turbulent state of the social environment in recent years actualizes the audience's need to rely on stable moral values, primarily humanitarian ones. There is a split of the general axiological discourse into many specific segments. Responding to the aggravation of the controversy around values, broadcast through politics, diplomacy, economic relations, today they often pay attention to interpersonal, gender, family relations, appealing to the truth of certain age-old foundations. Parenthood as a type of personal and social activity and responsibility is becoming increasingly important and valuable in the search for moral alternatives to the growing revision of the foundations of human existence. The article presents the results of two independent studies, which are united by thematic and methodological similarities, which made it possible to come to comparable conclusions regarding the current status of parenthood in Russia — “responsible” and “irresponsible”. Various media platforms became the object of research: specialized digital projects and all-Russian newspapers, which made it possible to consider a topical issue with the involvement of a significant segment of domestic journalism. Both studies are presented from two perspectives including a retrospective historical review and a detailed analysis of the content models of relevant parenting topics using the content analysis methodology. The results of the research showed that the problem of orphanhood (“irresponsible” parenthood) is still relevant for Russia, but its media career (i. e. opposition to defective parenthood) is actively and successfully developing. The media transit of the ideology of “responsible” parenthood is even more effective.
The Analysis of Statistical Data of Outpatient Treatment of COVID-19 in the City of Irkutsk in 2020–2021
Authors: Borovsky Andrey , Galkin Andrey , Kozlova Svetlana
Published: January 2024

The emergence of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has set health professionals tasks related to rapid diagnosis and medical care for patients. Currently, intensive study of the clinical and epidemiological features of the disease continues as well as the development of new means of its prevention and treatment.
The most important role in the fight against the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is represented by organizational measures in providing medical care to patients with this pathology during the outpatient stage. Since January 2022, under the conditions of the spread of a new strain of SARS-CoV-2 omicron, there has been a significant increase in the burden on the outpatient health care unit.
The omicron variant, carrying multiple substitutions in the coronavirus S-protein, half of which are located in the receptor-binding domain, has the highest contagiousness among all COVID-19 variants. The source of infection is a sick person, including one who is in the incubation period of the disease, and an asymptomatic carrier of SARS-CoV-2.
The greatest danger to others is a sick person in the last two days of the incubation period and the first days of the disease. A new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) caused by the omicron variant is characterized by a shorter incubation period (2–7 days, on average 3–4 days).
Transmission of infection is carried out by airborne, airborne and household contact routes. The leading route of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is airborne, which is realized when coughing, sneezing and talking.
High contagiousness, the presence of several ways of transmission of infection, as well as the possibility of asymptomatic carrier, cause the rapid spread of the omicron strain.
The purpose of this work is to analyze the statistics of outpatient treatment of COVID-19, to calculate the average treatment time in polyclinics.
The article describes a study of the model of the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic among outpatient patients in Irkutsk. From the analysis of the statistics of outpatient visits, a statistical curve was determined for the number of recovered patients depending on the duration of treatment. Gaussian and Lorentzian (in physical terminology) approximations of the statistical curve are proposed. The coefficients of approximations are determined by the method of least squares. The analytical formula for the average treatment time in the polyclinic is derived.
Calculations of the average treatment time in outpatient settings were made, as well as the total costs of treatment of citizens in the city of Irkutsk were obtained.

Published: January 2024

Objective: Viral hepatitis is inflammation of the liver due to a viral infection that affects millions of people worldwide, causing thousands of deaths due to acute-chronic infection, liver cancer and cirrhosis. This study is aimed to compare datas of the seroprevalence of markers for viral hepatitis A, B, C among 18-25 age group outpatient clinic patients and healthcare workers between the two University Hospitals from east and west zone of Turkey.
Material and Methods: The data of a total of 562 patients and healthcare workers, aged between 18 and 25, who applied to the outpatient clinic at Sütçü İmam University Faculty of Medicine and Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between 01.01.2022 and 01.07.2022, were retrospectively examined. The presence of serological markers against HAV, HBV, HCV and HIV was tested with the ELISA method.

Results: Anti-HAV IgG positivity was 25.5% and 40.3% for Çanakkale and Kahramanmaraş, respectively. Anti-HAV seropositivity rate in Kahramanmaraş was statistically significantly higher than in Çanakkale (P<0.001). Anti-HBs positivity was found to be 74.5% and 75.4% for Çanakkale and Kahramanmaraş, which were similar to each other bulundu (P=0.458). HBsAg positivity was detected as 1.5% in Çanakkale and 0.8% in Kahramanmaraş. There was no significant difference between the two cities (P = 0.810). Anti-HCV was found to be positive in one (0.5%) patient in Çanakkale and in four (1.1%) patients in Kahramanmaraş. Anti-HCV positivity was higher in Kahramanmaraş and anti-HIV positivity was higher in Çanakkale (P=.03, P<0.001). It was detected that anti-HBs positivity (80.7%) was higher in HCWs and anti-HAV IgG positivity was higher in non-HCWs (38.4%) (P=.042, P=0.013). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of anti-HCV and anti-HIV positivity.
Conclusion: Due to the low anti-HAV seropositivity rates in the 18-25 age group, this makes this group more risky in terms of HAV infection. Especially due to the anti-HAV positivity in Çanakkale is low compared to Kahramanmaraş, it is recommended to support vaccination in this region. Since health care workers are at risk of having and transmitting hepatitis, it was found to be appropriate getting prevention measures by screening against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Salmonella is a genus of gram-negative, facultative and non-spore-forming anaerobic bacteria. The genus includes two species: S. bongori and S. enterica. All Salmonella, which are pathogenic to humans and animals, belong to the species S. enterica. It includes seven subspecies, which includes more than 2500 serotypes. According to global statistics, they cause about 2.8 billion cases of diarrheal diseases annually, and the mortality rate reaches more than 300000 cases. S. enterica spp strains that have acquired multidrug resistance to antibiotics have become especially dangerous. Against the backdrop of this global problem, a detailed study of the complete genomes of various representatives of the genus Salmonella becomes relevant. Repeats play an important role in the regulation of basic genetic processes during the life cycle and evolution. The work examines various manifestations of repetition in the genomes of S. enterica. Taking into account common fragments of different genomes serves as the basis for the formation of a matrix of pairwise relative complexity, which is used in constructing a phylogenetic tree. Long repeats within individual genomes typically correspond to large individual duplications. The main attention is paid to local structural regularities, most of which are represented by tandem repeats. Of significant interest are multivalued repeats, such as tandem repeats forming a palindrome, repeats with regular substitutions or complex monomer structure.

Research on gender and ancient female leadership, like that of Empress Dowager Cixi (1861–1908), is lacking in English and Malay. Most research only discussed Cixi’s general narrative. The majority of studies merely covered Cixi’s overarching story. Cixi was one of the women leaders who defied the patriarchal status quo to rule. Nevertheless, her contribution was overlooked due to the controversy surrounding her, which tarnished her reputation. Thus, through library research and content analysis methods, this article discusses Cixi’s contribution to the Qing dynasty while filling in the research gap of international relations scholarship by overlooking Cixi’s contributions, which fall under the scope of the missing women figures under the gender and international relation scholarship. The study shows that Cixi’s contribution could be traced through the reformation of political sectors, such as the development of modern military and defense sectors, economic sectors, and social sectors, such as women’s empowerment. Cixi successfully defied the gender barrier to become a leader; however, her contribution has been overlooked. It is time for her leadership to be recognised.

The article reveals the problem of identifying the main components, criteria, indicators and levels of the development of intercultural competence of future masters of military management. On the background of constant changes and innovations the requirements for military professionals related to the possession of intercultural competence are of particular importance. Based on the analysis of scientific and pedagogical works devoted to the study of intercultural competence in particular and competence in general the following components of intercultural competence in the conceptual model of the development of intercultural competence in future masters of military management were identified: Personal – an assemblage of individual psychological qualities that are important for a future MIA and a modern military practitioner in general. In our study the motivational-value and subject criterion is a component of the personality component; the affective-cognitive one is an aggregate of internal and external manifestations of emotion regulation, on the basis of which the regulation of interrelations in the intercultural space is carried out. They are based on a body of knowledge that is the basis for the development of intercultural competence with a projection for future intercultural communication (emotional and cognitive criterion); Communicative-activities – a set of skills and abilities to use intercultural knowledge for practical and effective solution of professional tasks in the intercultural space, the ability to effectively interact in the intercultural team – reveals the praxeological criterion. It is given, The identified criteria and indicators combined with the description of the intercultural competence proficiency levels will be able to reveal the current state of intercultural competence proficiency of future military management masters (presence or absence of some components of intercultural competence, The level of their expression), and in the long term together with the formed pedagogical toolkit – to assess comprehensively both the existing levels and the acquired ones in the process of intercultural competence development in the course of vocational training.

Globalization and integrative processes in the world, in particular the transition from the industrial period of its development, led to the renewal of approaches to the organization of the educational process in higher education institutions. To ensure the effectiveness of this process, governments try to anticipate all possible factors that can have both positive and negative effects. Among such factors, economic, political, legal, etc. are gaining more attention. However, in addition to these factors, the success of the reform process is constantly correlated with the attitude of society to such measures, in particular the level of objectivity of their initial perception by direct participants in the reform process (lecturers, students, their parents), which usually correlates with certain mental characteristics society. Understanding the types of mental manifestations of Ukrainians can help increase the effectiveness of the process of reforming the higher education system. The results of the study can be used in the direct planning of measures in one or another area of reform by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, in particular in developing a PR strategy for higher education reform to enhance the effectiveness of such measures. Accordingly, the aim of the study was to determine the manifestations of mental factors in the context of the perception of research and teaching staff in the process of reforming the higher education system. The article highlights the results of a study of the manifestation of mental factors in the reactions of research and teaching staff in the context of their perception of measures to reform the higher education system of Ukraine; the types of reactions of scientific and pedagogical workers, which correlate with the features of the Ukrainian mentality, to measures to reform higher education are identified.

Published: January 2024

The article deals with the issue of legislative regulation of policy on the education of national minorities in Ukraine. It was determined that there are such problematic aspects in the legislation as the uncertainty of legal regulation, a contradiction of legal norms, and collisions between current rules and internationally accepted standards. It is noted that the primary element of the system of ensuring the education of representatives of national minorities is both international and domestic legislation. International and domestic legal acts in the field of education of national minorities have been reviewed and analyzed. It is noted that although the legislation of Ukraine largely corresponds to international acts, there is still a need to bring the domestic legislation into line with the international and European standards recognized and ratified by it. It is indicated that, in general, the national corresponds to the international and educational standards of national minorities, contains norms and guarantees of European provision of valuable understanding of the native language of national legislation, and, in a broad sense, legislators can find a balance between the national and psychological and cultural interests of these groups of Ukrainian citizens. A comparison with Ukraine's neighbouring countries regarding work with national minorities is given. Existing shortcomings in the educational system for representatives of national minorities are highlighted, which can be considered in more detail in the future. The ideological basis of the ethnopolitics of democratic states should be an optimal balance between national state interests and traditional cultural values of national minorities, which is primarily ensured through the sphere of education. Global transformational processes have strengthened the tendency to increase the number of representatives of national minorities due to such demographic processes as migration and refugees. Priority ways of solving problems in ensuring the educational needs of national minorities in the field of education in Ukraine are highlighted, namely: considering international, European, regional and national legal acts and bringing them into compliance; optimizing the functioning of public authorities; form a comprehensive structure of educational institutions at all levels; provide additional organizational and economic guarantees of educational rights.

Published: January 2024

Knowing the performance and understanding where one stands and which areas one needs to improve is one of the major aspects of learning and assessment. Feedback surveys helps to achieve this and are useful for teachers, students as well as research scholars for their assessment as well as improvement. My research is based on the survey conducted on a group of research scholars during the period of complete digitisation as a result of lockdown. A feedback survey done on various parameters such as online lectures, webinars, online international and national conferences, online DC meetings, online viva voce, hands on training workshops and research work indicates that most of the scholars prefer to do experimental research in the campus, whereas webinars and conferences are preferred online. The research helped to identify the effects of online learning on LSRW skills. Feedback survey is essential for all stake holders whether its students, teachers or research scholars. It is a revolutionary approach but the feedback survey helps to identify the benefits and limitations. This would serve as a platform to identify what is best for scholars, teachers and students.
