Assessing motivation: student-centered instructions as a means of engaging unresponsive students
Authors: Araújo Laura Ribeiro
Published: December 2023

Abstract Motivation in the classroom is a central aspect when discussing the ingredients for a successful learning environment. In this paper, we explore how in-class motivation may benefit from student-centered approaches when teaching English as a foreign language. For this purpose, we used a wide set of data collected through field observation in a Brazilian public school and experimentation with online teaching practices grounded by the notion of action-research and core concepts such as learner-centered instructions, gamification, affect in teaching and motivation. We hope that this work can bring new opportunities for teachers to reflect upon the uses of student-centered approaches in the classroom and how they might positively impact their learning environment.

Thinking about Technologies from Gilbert Simondon and Yuk Hui
Authors: Oliveira Andréia Machado
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT In this paper, we point out the importance of problematizing current technologies from the philosophers Gilbert Simondon and Yuk Hui who alert us to the urgency of a technological thinking that is directed towards an education of technology against alienations that arises from positions that dissociate culture, technology and nature. With the aim of thinking about other alternatives against technological alienation, we approach some ideas about technological education, technical culture and post-human. Simondon makes us think about the operationalities of how machines work and the values they allude, Hui urges us on a new program of technological knowledge based on his concepts of cosmotechnics and technodiversity.
Learning, Intelligence and Social Environment: epistemological conceptions
Authors: Becker Fernando
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT The text analyses questions 12-14 of the 24 included in the research entitled Epistemology of the Mathematics Teacher (Becker, 2012b), based on interviews with 17 teachers from Peru, Chile and Uruguay. The general aim is to identify the epistemological conceptions underlying mathematics teaching, specifically to learn how teachers explain the learning abilities of students from different social backgrounds and if they think intelligence is inherited. Teachers: display empiricist or aprioristic, rather than constructivist epistemologies; believe intellectual abilities are inherited and differentiated by the environment; and undervalue the action of the subject. The theoretical reference is Genetic Epistemology.

Abstract Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in COVID-19 patients and is associated with greater morbidity and mortality. Knowing the risks of AKI allows for identification, prevention, and timely treatment. This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with AKI in hospitalized patients. Methods: A descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional, and analytical component study of adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 from March 1 to December 31, 2020 was carried out. AKI was defined by the creatinine criteria of the KDIGO-AKI guidelines. Information, regarding risk factors, was obtained from electronic medical records. Results: Out of the 934 patients, 42.93% developed AKI, 60.59% KDIGO-1, and 9.9% required renal replacement therapy. Patients with AKI had longer hospital stay, higher mortality, and required more intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor support. Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR 1.03; 95% CI 1.02–1.04), male sex (OR 2.13; 95% CI 1.49–3.04), diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.04–2.32), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.06–4.04), C-reactive protein (CRP) (OR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00–1.03), ICU admission (OR 1.81; 95% CI 1.04–3.16), and vasopressor support (OR 7.46; 95% CI 3.34–16.64) were risk factors for AKI, and that bicarbonate (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.84–0.94) and partial pressure arterial oxygen/inspired oxygen fraction index (OR 0.99; 95% CI 0.98–0.99) could be protective factors. Conclusions: A high frequency of AKI was documented in COVID-19 patients, with several predictors: age, male sex, DM, CKD, CRP, ICU admission, and vasopressor support. AKI occurred more frequently in patients with higher disease severity and was associated with higher mortality and worse outcomes.

Resumo Histórico: Transplante renal (TR) melhora qualidade de vida, incluindo recuperação da fertilidade. Objetivo: descrever desfechos gestacionais pós-TR e sobrevida de longo prazo da paciente e do enxerto renal comparada a um grupo controle pareado de receptoras de TR que não conceberam. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo caso-controle com receptoras de TR de 1977 a 2016, acompanhadas até 2019. Resultados: foram identificadas 1.253 receptoras de TR em idade fértil no período do estudo: 78 (6,2%) gestantes (casos), total de 97 gestações. Tempo mediano entre TR até concepção foi 53,0 (21,5 – 91,0) meses. Taxa de aborto foi 41% (espontâneo 21,6%, terapêutico 19,6%), parto prematuro, 32%, e a termo, 24%. Pré-eclâmpsia (PE) ocorreu em 42% das gestações que alcançaram pelo menos 20 semanas. Presença de 2 ou mais fatores de risco para desfechos gestacionais desfavoráveis foi significativamente associada a abortos [OR 3,33 (IC95% 1,43 – 7,75), p = 0,007] e perda de enxerto renal em 2 anos. O grupo controle de 78 mulheres com TR foi comparável na creatinina basal [1,2 (1,0 – 1,5) mg/dL nos dois grupos, p = 0,95] e na relação proteína/creatinina urinária (RPCU) [0,27 (0,15 – 0,44) vs. 0,24 (0,02 – 0,30), p = 0,06]. Sobrevida do enxerto foi maior nos casos que nos controles em 5 anos (85,6% vs. 71,5%, p = 0,012) e 10 anos (71,9% vs. 55,0%, p = 0,012) de acompanhamento. Conclusão: a gestação pode ser bem-sucedida após TR, mas existem altas taxas de abortos e partos prematuros. Aconselhamento pré-concepção é necessário e deve incluir aspectos éticos.
Wanna see How to Stage a Scene in Educational Research? Listen Up!

ABSTRACT 1In this essay, I explored connections between Eduardo Coutinho’s documentary feature film ‘Playing’ (Jogo de Cena) and a type of academic-scientific research carried out in the Brazilian educational field. Faced with the paradoxical game where in order to see one needs to listen and in order to listen one needs to see, I outlined the following working argument: by oscillating between memory and documents, the documentarist’s procedural gesture includes archives and frictionizes the ways of carrying out a type of research in education, especially the research based on archival material, presenting possible assemblies of the enunciative perimeters of contemporary educational research.

Abstract Domestic birds such as Gallus gallus, Meleagris gallopavo, Anser anser and Numida meleagris are widely distributed throughout the world and maintain contact with humans and other animal species considered reservoirs of both Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) and American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL), including dogs and cats; wild canids, marsupials; and synanthropic animals such as rodents and chiroptera. Therefore, this study aimed to detect the presence of anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies in birds from a rural area of the municipality of Santa Maria, southern Brazil. From May to December 2022, 262 blood samples were collected from 244 chickens, 8 turkeys, 7 guinea fowl and 3 geese, distributed in 27 rural properties in 6 districts. All the sites visited presented positive birds for the presence of Leishmania spp. Thus, it is inferred that, contact with this protozoan can induce the production of antibodies, suggesting that these animals can be used as sentinels for the circulation of this agent. In addition, the blood of these animals is a preferred food source for insects of the subfamily Phlebotominae, which can be used them as bioindicators of the presence of these phlebotomes.

Characteristics of Cyanobacteria at Different Stages of Existence of the Kyiv Reservoir
Authors: Shcherbak V. I. , Semenyuk N. Ye. , Maystrova N. V.
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with the patterns of Cyanobacteria long-term succession at different stages of existence of the Kyiv Reservoir. The main ecological factors responsible for Cyanobacteria succession include current velocity, hydromorphological characteristics of the reservoir, the content of inorganic nitrogen (primarily of ammonium) and phosphorus, ΣN : P ratio, global climate changes, and the competition with higher aquatic plants in the shallow water zone. The trophic state of the hydroecosystem changed from mesotrophic (at the stage of the non-regulated river) to eutrophic (at the present time) depending on the intensity of Cyanobacteria development. With possible further deterioration of water quality, possible climate changes with an increase in water temperature within the range of even 1-2°C, the intensity of Cyanobacteria development will increase, especially in the pelagic zone of the reservoir, where they have practically no natural biological competitors.
EFFECT ON INCLINED STRETCHING PLATE UNDER SLIP CONDITION DUE TO NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID IN POROUS MEDIUM FOR MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC FLOW OF UNSTEADY NATURE
Authors: Sharma Rajni , Kalra Monika
Published: December 2023

An analytical probe is executed for evaluating the impact of unsteady flow pertaining to non-Newtonian fluid of
magnetohydrodynamic nature on a stretching inclined porous plate, built in porous medium. Electrically conducting
unsteady flow facing applied magnetic force with applied slip condition are the other factors utilized for the study
of convective heat transfer. For converting governing equations to nonlinear differential equations, the similarity transformation method has been deployed. MATLAB was also used. Ordinary differential equations were solved
numerically with the help of the Newton iterative method as well as the shooting method. Results for velocity and
temperature were derived for a wide range of unsteady and other parameters including magnetic, source/sink, Grashof
number, Prandtl number, Deborah number, and angle of inclination. Graphs and tables were used for compiling and
computing values of skin friction and heat transfer rate. Results derived in the present analysis have been compared to those available in the previous literature, and parity has been formed to ascertain the accuracy of the current analytical exercise.
ON LEGAL FACTS AND VOLITIONAL ACTIONS IN THE LEGAL FORM OF TRANSACTION
Authors:   Kikot Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Chegovadze L. A.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article substantiates the conclusion that a legal fact is not an action as such, but a legal form of action. Through this form, the norms of public or private law perform their regulatory function, subjectively ordering the actions of individuals and legal entities. Volitional actions significant for civil law are so different in their social essence that they cannot be reduced to one type of legal facts. The role and significance of the category “legal fact” is to compare reality with the norm and to identify the consequences of actions for the social and legal spheres of actors. “Transaction”, being a kind of the category “legal fact”, fulfills this role in the property sphere. A transaction is a means of recognizing the legal significance of actions in order to achieve the consequences predicted by civil law and chosen by the will of the actors. The significance of actions in the legal form of transactions is twofold: they make changes both in the property and in the legal sphere of the actors. This ability is not inherent in other legal facts, for example, a contract.

PROPOSALS TO IMPROVE THE LEGAL FOUNDATIONS FOR QUALIFICATION OF JUDGES
Authors:   Bar Association of the Krasnodar Territory, Kiryuschenko I. I.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article points out the imperfection of the legal regulation of the qualification certification of judges and suggests some changes aimed at optimizing this important component of the formation of a highly qualified judicial corps. The author formulated the purpose and objectives of the qualification certification of judges. A list of additional information submitted to the judge's attestation case is proposed. Taking into account the analysis of foreign experience, the list of parameters by which the judge should be evaluated is highlighted. Evaluation criteria, their content and sources of information for each criterion are defined for each parameter. Qualification certification of judges is classified by type (scheduled, un-scheduled and repeated), their purpose is disclosed. The conclusion is made that the negative result of the qualification certification should be considered as a reason for an appropriate verification of facts and circumstances with the conclusion that there are or are not signs of disciplinary misconduct in the actions (inaction) of the judge, or that the judge does not meet the requirements established by regulatory legal acts or the Code of Judicial Ethics, or insufficient qualifications. Measures to eliminate conflicts of interest in the certification process are proposed.
MECHANISM OF ENTRY INTO AND LOSS OF EFFECT OF PROCEDURAL LEGAL PROVISIONS
Authors:   Perm State University, Liubimova E. V.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: the article discusses the general rule on the operation in time of the procedural provisions and a number of exceptions developed in the practice of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in respect of representation, type of proceedings and the composition of the court. The author also reviews two cases arising in respect of operation in time of the provisions of law, which are related to the court proceedings but do not represent the procedural legal relations. The first case is pre-trial dispute settlement, which is not a procedural relation; however, the provisions effective during the procedural actions are mistakenly applied to it. The second case is de-voted to the change of the court practice regarding the procedure of determining the term for the appeal of the court rulings on administrative offenses. The author believes that the new legal position set out in the ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 13, 2022, impairs the position of the person held liable for an administrative offence, and therefore, the reviewed interpretation of the law shall not apply to the rulings made prior to December 13, 2022.

About two decades ago, medicine experienced a revolutionary approach, driven by technological development in manufacturing techniques and scientific advances in the medical and life sciences, the field took on the challenge of regenerating tissue and organs damaged by disease, trauma, or hereditary issues, incorporating additive manufacturing as one of its strategies. Since its inception, regenerative medicine has developed techniques like tissue engineering, cellular therapy, medical devices, and artificial organs to provide wound healing and orthopedic applications. The incorporation of additive manufacturing allowed to recreate biologically appropriate environments for cell reproduction and growth that, eventually, lead to useful, regenerated tissue or organs. The objective of the present work is to review recent advances in the application of additive manufacturing techniques and ad hoc biomaterials in the field of regenerative medicine, to determine their impact in the development of new therapies for tissue engineering.
HMW DNA extraction protocol for ferns v1
Authors: Fernando Metz Geferson
Published: December 2023

Among the difficulties encountered in a laboratory, simple situations such as efficiently disinfecting fern spores and extracting large amounts of DNA with low tissue input in the protocol are one of the major impediments in carrying out sequencing of these plants in the axenic state. The objective of this work is to present a replicable, scalable and easy-to-execute protocol for work with ferns following the current generation of long-read sequencing. Our method is based on providing a disinfection protocol for spores and sporangia that guarantees growth free of contamination and, after this growth, DNA extraction using a low amount of material in order to obtain a good yield. The results are promising since, in up to 21 days, we obtained germinated plants. After their growth (in average 180 days) we were able to extract DNA in quantity and quality and perform the sequencing, emphasizing that our best N50 is 24 Kb.

Person, population, mechanism. Three main branches of psychological science
Authors: Lundh Lars-Gunnar
Published: December 2023

There are different ways of dividing psychology into subdisciplines. The purpose of the present paper is to explore one specific meta-perspective on psychological science, seen as having three main branches: person psychology, population psychology, and mechanism psychology, linked to three different levels of research. Person-level research focuses on psychological phenomena as experienced and enacted by individual persons in their interaction with other persons and other parts of the environment, and in their development over time. Population-level research focuses on populations of individuals, frequencies of various psychological phenomena in a population, risk factors, and population-level effects of various psychological interventions. Mechanism-level research focuses on psychological functioning as explained in terms of neurophysiological mechanisms and information processes at a sub-personal level. It is argued that the failure to differentiate clearly between research questions at these three levels lead to questionable research practices. Most notably, a failure to differentiate clearly between the population level and the person level leads to problem-method mismatches in the form of researchers trying to answer questions about persons by research on populations. Also, because of a failure to differentiate between the person level and the mechanism level, explanations in terms of sub-personal mechanisms are too often seen as providing answers about what occurs at the person level, thereby failing to study persons as intentional agents in interaction with other persons and other parts of the environment. It is argued that a clear differentiation between three levels of psychological science – population, person, and mechanism – may contribute to an increased clarity in these matters and may thereby contribute to the development and maturation of psychological science.

Transcatheter prosthetics in post-radiation aortic stenosis: a review of literature
Authors: Akhobekov A. A. , Zeynalova P. A. , Ryabukhina Yu. E. , Chekini D. A.
Published: December 2023

Aortic stenosis belongs to the most common acquired cardiac defects in adults, affecting about 2 % of those over 65 years old and 4 % of those over 85 years old. One of the common causes of aortic stenosis is radiation therapy of the mediastinum for malignant neoplasms localised in the thorax. According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, 10–30 % of patients receiving radiation therapy tend to develop cardiovascular complications, usually after an average follow-up period of 5 to 10 years. About 80 % of cardiovascular complications of radiation therapy are valve diseases, aortic stenosis accounting for a significant part of them. Radiation causes late cicatrisation, fibrous thickening, retraction and calcification of aortic valve cusps, contributing to the restriction of their movement and therefore to the narrowing of the aortic valve orifice. Patients with aortic valve stenosis have an average lifespan of about 3 years after coronary symptoms or syncopal conditions appear, and about 1.5 years after congestive heart failure begins to manifest. Aortic valve prosthetics is the sole effective and radical treatment method for patients with aortic valve stenosis that allows to improve their condition and prolong their life. Transcatheter aortic valve prosthetics are the treatment of choice in this category of patients.

Authors: Zeynalova P. A. , Albitskaya E. V. , Chekini D. A. , Akhobekov A. A.
Published: December 2023

Oncological and cardiovascular diseases are the main causes of mortality worldwide. The rate of these pathologies tends to increase as the population ages. The implementation of highly effective therapeutic schemes has led to a significant increase in the survival rate of oncology patients over the last decades. In many cases, the mortality rate in oncology patients who underwent effective treatment is caused by cardiovascular events arising as a consequence of aggressive antitumor treatment or pre-existing chronic cardiovascular diseases. Among cardiovascular complications that developed both during active treatment of the malignant neoplasm and in the longer term, literature most often mentions cardiac insufficiency. We present a clinical case of successful diagnosis and treatment of severe heart insufficiency caused by antitumor therapy with bevacizumab and osimertinib in a patient with cancer of the upper lobe of the right lung and metastases into the brain.
Post-radiation esophagitis with formation of esophageal stricture: a rare clinical observation
Authors: Iurichev I. N. , Vereshchak V. V.
Published: December 2023

Post-radiation esophagitis occurs fairly rarely, affecting less than 1 % of the patients who underwent a course of radiation therapy. Non-specific complaints of dysphagia and/or painful swallowing are reported by at most 2 % post-radiation-therapy patients (with a total focal dose of ≤50 Gy) and by up to 15 % patients (>60 Gy). Post-radiation esophagitis may develop after irradiation of the thorax for esophageal, pulmonary, breast cancer, lymphoma, or metastatic affection of bones. The prognosis and severity of esophagitis are evaluated according to the FARE criteria (Fukui Acute Radiation Esophagitis). In the event of strictures and symptoms of dysphagia, endoscopic balloon dilation is indicated.
Detection of Ovarian Cancer using Deep Learning: A Survey
Authors: Mahesh Babu Namani Deepika,
Published: December 2023

The term "ovarian cancer" (OC) refers to the most frequent type of gynecological cancer. The female reproductive system would not function properly without the ovary. Their significance is enhanced by the fact that these small glands produce female sex hormones as well as female gametes. These almond-shaped glandular organs sit directly on either side of the uterus and are connected to it via the ovarian ligament; they do not contain any tubes. There are many potential causes of ovarian cancer, but fortunately there are also many potential methods of diagnosis; one of these is the convolutional neural network. This article summarizes how convolutional neural networks could be used to classify ovarian cancer tumors and what other treatments are out there for the disease. some machine learning algorithms are used in ovarian cancer detection, and throughout the course of this research work, we compared some of them. These algorithms include K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine, and Artificial Neural Network. Following a comprehensive analysis of available methods, the Deep Learning Technique was shown to be the most productive in its detection of ovarian cancer.

Authors: Glotov Andrey S.
Published: December 2023

This review, based on previously formulated hypotheses and our own research, examines the main modern trends in molecular medicine related to assessing the effect of environmental factors on the human genome. Information is provided about all programs for analyzing the human genome, their connection with biobanks, polymorphism and errors of the genome, and the importance of genomic clinical databases. Ten trends in molecular medicine over the past 20 years are separately highlighted. The formation of genetic dialectics between monogenic and multifactorial diseases is reflected. The path of development of molecular methods, the expansion of the role of the genetic laboratory in decision-making, and the emergence of genetic consultants are noted. The review presents new challenges in predictive medicine related to carrier screening and the development of preimplantation genetic testing. The situation with genetic testing related to an individual's susceptibility to environmental factors and diseases is summarized. Some attention is paid to evidence-based pharmacogenetic studies. Some new areas are considered — psychogenetics, sports genetics, genetics of sensitivity to coronavirus infection and others. In conclusion, the forecast of multifactorial diseases is reviewed, which is based on gene technologies and mathematical modeling and the creation of a new paradigm of a genetic passport — an omics map of reproductive health.

BACKGROUND: The pressing issue of the primary diagnosis of oncopathology in later stages of cancer hinders effective implementation of treatment and rehabilitation measures and leads to the disability of the patient. In this aspect, the crucial factor lies in the population’s engagement to medical organizations for examinations according to the road map for the prevention of socially significant diseases.
OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to investigate the risk factors for late detection of cancer of the female reproductive system based on the results of a survey on contingents of women with diagnosed cancer of three localizations (cancer of the ovaries, body, and cervix) in the Chechen Republic.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sample: Female patients diagnosed with cancer of the reproductive system (299 women). Observation units: patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer, uterine body cancer, and cervical cancer. Research base: Republican Oncological Dispensary, Grozny. Research design: face-to-face individual questionnaire survey (2020–2022). Research methods: Initially, survey, statistical, and graphical analysis of the data was conducted. Finally, ranking of risk factors for detection of the disease at late stage and the construction of a decision tree.
RESULTS: The key factors with an increase in the risk of late diagnosis of cancer of the female reproductive system to 100.0% were the diagnosis of ovarian cancer, the absence of vaginal discharge outside of menstruation/in menopause, an increase in the size of the abdomen, and late treatment (100.0% absolute risk). In the contingent diagnosed with ovarian cancer, all cases were detected late, while in 22.7% of cases aggregate of patients presented two other nosologies. Among patients who did not notice an increase in the abdomen, late diagnosis of cancer was noted in 26% of patients. Conversely, among those who noted this change, all cases were diagnosed at an advanced stage (p 0.05). Regarding the target indicator “The disease was detected at a late stage” seven risk classes were identified (risk from 7.5% to 100.0%). The high-risk class was characterized by a combination of factors: “Noted pain in the lower abdomen during intercourse (No),” “Blood relatives revealed tumor diseases (No),” and “I noticed an increase in the size of the abdomen (Yes)” (100.0% risk).
CONCLUSION: The relevance of the problem of oncogynecology is associated with the need for extensive educational work among the female population with an emphasis on the need for active participation in preventive examinations. Justifying the use of the strategy of “coercion to health” is essential in identifying risk factors and cancerous lesions of the organs of the female reproductive system in the early stages. This will prevent the progression of the malignant tumors and will contribute to effective medical and social prevention of disability.
Equivalent Near-Field Corner Frequency Analysis of 3D Dynamic Rupture Simulations Reveals Dynamic Source Effects
Authors: Schliwa Nico , Gabriel Alice-Agnes
Published: December 2023

Dynamic rupture simulations generate synthetic waveforms that account for nonlinear source and path complexity. Here, we analyze millions of spatially dense waveforms from 3D dynamic rupture simulations in a novel way to illuminate the spectral fingerprints of earthquake physics. We define a Brune-type equivalent near-field corner frequency (fc) to analyze the spatial variability of ground-motion spectra and unravel their link to source complexity. We first investigate a simple 3D strike-slip setup, including an asperity and a barrier, and illustrate basic relations between source properties and fc variations. Next, we analyze >13,000,000 synthetic near-field strong-motion waveforms generated in three high-resolution dynamic rupture simulations of real earthquakes, the 2019 Mw 7.1 Ridgecrest mainshock, the Mw 6.4 Searles Valley foreshock, and the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake. All scenarios consider 3D fault geometries, topography, off-fault plasticity, viscoelastic attenuation, and 3D velocity structure and resolve frequencies up to 1–2 Hz. Our analysis reveals pronounced and localized patterns of elevated fc, specifically in the vertical components. We validate such fc variability with observed near-fault spectra. Using isochrone analysis, we identify the complex dynamic mechanisms that explain rays of elevated fc and cause unexpectedly impulsive, localized, vertical ground motions. Although the high vertical frequencies are also associated with path effects, rupture directivity, and coalescence of multiple rupture fronts, we show that they are dominantly caused by rake-rotated surface-breaking rupture fronts that decelerate due to fault heterogeneities or geometric complexity. Our findings highlight the potential of spatially dense ground-motion observations to further our understanding of earthquake physics directly from near-field data. Observed near-field fc variability may inform on directivity, surface rupture, and slip segmentation. Physics-based models can identify “what to look for,” for example, in the potentially vast amount of near-field large array or distributed acoustic sensing data.

Currently the study of the problems of people with special needs is seen in an interdisciplinary field, where medicine and physiology come into contact with urban, socio-cultural aspects of life, allowing to expand the range of problems of social inclusion and disability and consider them from a new research perspective. The purpose of the research is to study the social well-being of persons with special needs in the context of the inclusiveness into urban space. The article presents the results of the research, conducted in 2022 at inclusive higher education institution in Moscow. The research was based on the focus group method using the sample group of students with special needs (N = 40) of the musculoskeletal system who came from Russian medium and small size towns to Moscow. The research methodology was built on the interdisciplinary approach to disability in the context of urban studies. The study made it possible to identify the levels of social well-being of students with special needs (high, medium and low) and correlate them with the degree of their socio-psychological security (maximum, moderate and minimum). It has been empirically proven that Russian towns, depending on the number of inhabitants (megacities, large, medium and small) have a significant impact on the social well-being and socio-psychological safety of students with special needs, which is due, firstly, to varying degrees of space inclusiveness; secondly, the different attitudes of citizens towards young people with special needs (positive, neutral, negative). According to the subjective assessments of the majority of focus group participants, after moving to the capital in order to receive vocational education, their level of social well-being and the degree of socio-psychological safety increased due to a more comfortable and adapted urban environment for the needs of people with special needs, as well as a more friendly attitude of residents to young disabled people with ODA compared with small and medium-sized towns.
