The Correlation Between ADHD and Intelligence
Authors: Tang Runhan
Published: January 2024

In China, 3% of preschool children suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), with a male-to-female ratio of 5:1. ADHD is a prevalent behavioral disorder in children. Intelligence in these affected children is normal or normal; however, they exhibit deficiencies in learning, behavior, and emotional aspects. These children face challenges in interpersonal relationships both at home and in preschool settings, leaving parents and teachers feeling helpless. This paper navigates the complex relationship between Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and intelligence, amidst a backdrop of varied scientific findings. Through a systematic review of a decade's peer-reviewed literature, the study scrutinizes empirical research involving diverse demographic samples and quantitative ADHD and IQ measures. Findings reveal a multifaceted relationship between ADHD and intelligence, influenced by various factors including potential comorbidities. The study underscores the importance of a holistic approach in ADHD intelligence assessments, considering both cognitive strengths and challenges. The implications of this research are twofold: it guides the development of personalized interventions for individuals with ADHD and highlights the necessity for further exploration into the ADHD-IQ relationship and its implications for cognitive functioning and long-term outcomes. Developing a more comprehensive understanding of ADHD, this paper moves beyond the limitations of traditional IQ metrics to encompass a wider range of cognitive skills and strengths. This paper aims to provide recommendations and implement effective measures for children exhibiting disruptive behaviors, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The focus is on assisting these children to facilitate their healthy development.
Investigating Gratitude and Nostalgia: A Research Proposal Examining the Chain Mediating Roles of Self-Compassion and Meaning in Life
Authors: Cao Xiaoyang
Published: January 2024

Nostalgia is a multifaceted, ego-driven social emotion that emerges during reflections on the past and encourages prosocial behaviors. Gratitude is regarded as both a temperament and a moral sentiment aimed at an elevated state of acknowledgment, playing a significant role in fostering positive psychological outcomes. Besides, self-compassion is characterised by three fundamental elements: mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness, the act of treating oneself with kindness and empathy when confronted with difficulties, which can help alleviate emotional distress and promote emotional recovery, which means in life is defined as an individual's subjective perception that their life possesses coherence, purposefulness, and meaningfulness. This research proposal will provide a feasibility programme for future formal studies. Study 1 intends to recruit 160 participants online through a questionnaire, while Study 2 plans for online recruitment of 210 participants, employing an experimental approach to manipulate nostalgia versus non-nostalgia conditions. The results will likely indicate a positive relationship between nostalgia and gratitude, with self-compassion and meaning in life acting as chain mediators in explaining how nostalgia promotes gratitude. In other words, nostalgia can facilitate the experience of gratitude through a chain of mediating factors, including self-compassion and meaning in life.
Thumb up or Head down? The Impact of Upvote on Social Media Self-efficacy
Authors: Shu Zhiyao
Published: January 2024

Social media platforms have precipitated a paradigm shift in the way individuals interact and perceive their social context. This research delineates the intricate interplay between social media self-efficacy (SMSE) and the one-click feedback behavior. It employs a systematic review of extant literature surrounding the theoretical underpinnings of SMSE, alongside user behaviors and purposes pertinent to online social engagement. Furthermore, the research unravels the sequences of how unitary behaviors swiftly culminate in the attainment of mastery experience, one of the four elements of SMSE, while casting no positive reverberations on the other three facets vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and emotional states especially when juxtaposed with in-person interactions. Moreover, the surfeit of information encountered on these platforms exacerbates the process, engendering depressive symptoms and pressure among social media users. In this narrative, the research elucidates potential interventions like decelerating users viewing speed to ensure adequate cognitive processing, thereby nurturing a more wholesome digital interaction ecosystem. Through rigorous analysis, this study dissects the considerations for the design of interfaces on social media platforms to bolster positive user experiences and overall psychological resilience.

A Study on Ambiguity of Chinese De-Construction Based on the Qualia Role
Authors: Gao Xinyu
Published: January 2024

In modern Chinese, De-Construction is widely used, and the NP1++NP2 structure often leads to ambiguity. According to the theory of qualia structure, analyzing the qualia roles of nouns can explain the causes and semantics behind the ambiguity formation. The activation of implicit predicates is used to differentiate semantics. As some nouns can also function as verbs, a multifaceted structure, NP1/VP++NP2, is created. Moreover, for de-construction where the qualia roles of nouns are the same, the interpretative power is evidently compromised. This phenomenon is related to cultural background, pragmatic communication, and other factors, causing the extension and expansion of semantic connotations in the de-construction. Therefore, the generation of ambiguity is unrelated to the qualia roles of noun materials.
The Methods of Function and Space Design in Young People's Mental Health Center under the Concept of Autonomy
Authors: Zhang Xuyuan , Wang Zibing
Published: January 2024

Based on developmental psychology, young patients (12-25 years old) should be encouraged to exercise self-determination and self-exploration through spatial design for the enhancement of intrinsic motivation, to realize self-awareness, and rebuild social relationships during long-term self-regulation, and to increase participation and effectiveness in psychotherapy. Considering the unique developmental stages of young people, the feasibility of person-centered care and peer support services in the therapeutic model is analyzed, proposing that spontaneous partnerships and respect for patients' unconscious behaviors are essential for achieving autonomy. Emphasizing that patients should be guided naturally rather than coercively through spatial design; the ambiguity of the space requires reasonable control; the functional area should have differential settings by the type of place that requires different sensory stimulation levels; the transition from private space to semi-private space to public space should also be well-organized through visual connection, waiting areas, and the chance to withdraw from the therapies.
Nishida Kitaro and Japans Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
Authors: Guo Zhao
Published: January 2024

No one shaped modern Japanese philosophy as significantly as did Nishida Kitaro, a prominent scholar at Kyoto Imperial University and the author of An Inquiry into the Good. He pioneered the Kyoto School of Japanese philosophy, which combined Western and Eastern thoughts, traditions, and religions to reach a new understanding of the world. Not usually seen as a political figure, Nishida penned a controversial essay in 1943, two years before his death, titled The Principle of the New World Order. The essay was intended for Prime Minister Tojo Hideki's use at the 1943 Greater East Asia Conference in Tokyo, where leaders from East and Southeast Asian countries under the rule of Japanese imperialism discussed future visions for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, Japan's ostensible war cause. Nishida opposed the militarist government and its oppressive policies at home and abroad, but he hoped to influence its policy through his philosophical writing as Japan's defeat loomed larger than ever. The tense political atmosphere in wartime Japan and Nishida's vision of the world, which was characterized by the harmonious coexistence of the individual and the collective, turned The Principle of the New World Order into a text full of contradictionsthe greatest among them being his uncritical use of Hakko Ichiu (Eight Corners of the World under One Roof), a politico-religious jargon to justify the supreme rule of the Japanese emperor. After WWII, Nishida was posthumously criticized for cooperating with the military government by writing that essay, but a close examination of the text, its historical context, and other works by Nishida reveal that the lone Japanese philosopher was trying to steer Japan's Pan-Asian policy from within, an attempt that was doomed to fail when the government was mobilizing intellectuals for its imperial goals. By focusing on the case of Nishida, this article uncovers the complex dynamic between the Japanese empire and Japanese intellectuals who tried to voice their views different than the government's.

The Role of the Non-State Actor in Sino-American Relations: An Analysis Based on the Rockefeller Foundation and the Peking Union Medical College
Authors: Yao Yujia
Published: January 2024

Founded in 1913, the Rockefeller Foundation has played a major role in US cultural diplomacy. The RF has implemented various philanthropic programs to export a perception of American values, including freedom and democracy, with the aim of eliminating local vigilance and misunderstanding, improving its international reputation, and advancing US foreign policy. In particular, the RF has made significant investments in China. From 1909 to 1949, the RF consistently invested in the medicine, health, culture and education of China. The RF exerted an incalculable influence on Chinas modernization for half a century. One of its most significant and influential investments was the establishment of the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC). Accordingly, this essay seeks to analyse the RFs largest overseas investment, the establishment of the Peking Union Medical College, to evaluate its specific practices and influence, as well as to explore the role of the RF in Sino-American relations and Americas overseas expansion.
Feminist Voices in Boys Love Literature: Subverting Gender Norms and Empowering Women
Authors: Lan Yutong
Published: January 2024

Boys Love (BL) literature is a creative genre that has become popular online in the past 20 years. It mainly describes the emotional life of homosexuals, especially gay men. It is an important and controversial part of the Internet subculture active among young people. However, contrary to its content, the creators behind BL literature are often non-gay young women. Women create and appreciate BL novels through the Internet to express their demands for aesthetics, pure love, and equality. This kind of gender writing that breaks tradition has a bright spot of feminism, and though this may take a long time, it can help create a more friendly living space for women in a patriarchal society. This article analyzes female writers' subversion of male images in BL novels, thereby proving that BL culture satisfies women's demands for a more profound social status and equal rights and contributes to breaking the patriarchal society.
Unseen Scars: The Intersection of School Bullying, Individualism, and Collectivism
Authors: Li Zilu
Published: January 2024

Violence in schools occurs in both collectivist and individualist societies. This paper examined bullying in educational settings and the connection to individualism and collectivism. It reported how these concepts influence bullying behaviors. Data from the OECD indicated that around 23% of students in these countries face bullying several times a month. The main focus was on the impact of bullying on students' mental health, social relationships, and academic performance. The paper also explored the differences in bullying behaviors in cultures prioritizing group values (collectivism) versus individual values (individualism). In individualistic societies, bullied students might feel more isolated, while in collectivist societies, bullying might be less visible as individuals might not discuss their struggles in public. This study aimed to provide a clearer understanding of school bullying by considering both personal experiences and the wider cultural context. The findings were expected to contribute significantly to developing more effective anti-bullying strategies that consider both individual and group perspectives.
Unveiling Implicit Stereotypes: The Praxis of Taming Men in Indian Households in Yadav’s The Anger of Saintly Men
Authors: J Devasika , Raju R.L.N
Published: January 2024

Gender disparity is a scourge that engulfs the life of the vulnerable and privileges the dominant one. We are living in the 21st century with modernized thoughts of accepting and normalizing certain stereotypes that were historically marginalized. However, gender stereotypes prevail in the modernist vision. In the wake of sociocultural evolution, we welcome newly socially constructed behavior with a dynamic understanding of flipping gender roles by encouraging words such as “Strong men/women never cry”, and “I have never seen your father cry even at your grandfather’s funeral” prompt to stigmatize vulnerable men in the social spectrum. This continued notion of shutting out vulnerability has become a benchmark for achieving a high standard in society. Nevertheless, male stereotypes in today’s context superseded from being ‘aggressive’ to ‘benevolent’ which again opens a curtain for overshadowing men to act by the social labels. By employing Anubha Yadav’s “The Anger of Saintly Men” (2021), this article aims to represent vulnerable men in Indian society highlighting implicit stereotypes fed by patriarchy to men folks. Using social role theory and qualitative research methodology, this research unfolds the complexities of men’s role in Indian society. The article brings a spotlight on implicit stereotypes among men in Indian society. The findings of the research propound that voiceless men adhere to stipulated masculine norms to fit in the ambivalent society.
English Teachers’ Attitudes Toward China English
Authors: Feng Zhijia
Published: January 2024

China English has garnered much attention lately as a growing trend of English variation. The study aimed to explore the language attitudes of Chinese English teachers towards the variety of English in China and further probe into the cause of their attitudinal evaluations. A mixed research method (Questionnaire survey and focused interview) was employed. A total of 23 English teachers participated in the current study. The study revealed that nowadays, many teachers still view standard English, either British or American, as the pedagogical teaching model in China. Since only Chinese English users can use and understand China English, there are better fits for a teaching paradigm than China English. However, most participants claim that some idioms are most effectively expressed in Chinese, and there should be a variety of English in China. The current study's findings may be necessary for English instruction in situations where English varieties are emerging in the globalized world.

Published: January 2024

Through authentic evaluation, the current study attempted to foster self-controlled learning, independence, and self-effectiveness among some Saudi EFL students. Sixty EFL students were chosen for this research study and split equally into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). The respondents' self-controlled learning (SCL), independence (I), and self-effectiveness (SE) were then evaluated using three questionnaires before the treatment. The control group received the treatment using non-real-world evaluations, whereas the experimental group participants received instruction using real-world evaluations. Three post-tests were given to both groups after they had been taught 16 English passages to assess how the treatment had affected their capacity for self-controlled learning, independence, and self-effectiveness. The experimental group students were given an attitude survey to gauge their opinions on using real-world evaluations inside EFL classes. According to the ANCOVA results, significant differences existed between the control group and experimental group post-tests. The findings showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in the self-controlled learning, independence, and self-effectiveness post-treatment tests. The outcomes also demonstrated that the experimental group had a favorable attitude toward the use of real-world evaluation in EFL programs. The study concluded that integrating real-world evaluation into EFL instruction may benefit EFL students positively. The results of the study have some implications for EFL instructors and curriculum developers because if they take into consideration the effects of real-world evaluations, they can increase the students’ self-control, autonomy, and self-effectiveness.
A Philosophical Investigation of the Context Sensitivity of Know: Contextualism versus Semantic Minimalism
Authors: Tang Lin
Published: January 2024

A common and important question about context sensitivity is its extent in ordinary language. While words such as “I,” “this,” and “now” are known to be contextually sensitive, whether words such as know are context sensitive is debated. Contextualists believe that know is a context-sensitive word, while semantic minimalists insist it is not. The two groups have been engaged in a persistent debate on this issue and have not yet reached a consensus. Centering on this debate, this paper first briefly reviews contextualism and semantic minimalism’s debate over know, and then test whether it is context sensitive. This paper finds that the content of know displays some hierarchy, and to answer the question of whether it is context sensitive, logical inference must be distinguished from pragmatic inference. When expressing logical inference, know describes some state of affairs and factually certifies that the content of know is a fact; therefore, it involves no context sensitivity. While expressing pragmatic inference, however, know causes different pragmatic effects and indicates different levels of context sensitivity.
Challenging Traditional EFL Writing Classroom Using Al Mediated Tool: A Paradigm Shift
Authors: Mohammad Taj
Published: January 2024

Students usually find the traditional writing classroom cumbersome due to its teacher centered approach that hardly allows learners take charge of their own learning. As a result of not being actively engaged in the classroom and nature of writing requiring a rigorous practice, students lag behind in developing writing skills including the paraphrasing ones. In order to deal with this situation, this study employs QuillBot, an AI-mediated and learner-centered tool, in a group pre/post quasi-experimental research to mend EFL students' writing and paraphrase skillsSpecific focus areas include summarization, grammar and spelling, rewriting sentences, sequencing sentences, identifying correct sentences, and matching phrasal verbs. 25 EFL students enrolled in the Technical Report Writing course and using QuillBot, an AI-mediated tool, comprised the research sample. Through pre- and post-experimental assessments, researchers assessed how well the students' writing skills performed both before and after the experiment. The dependent-sample t-test affected the post-test results. It was shown that the AI-mediated tool QuillBot significantly enhanced the writing skills of EFL students. Furthermore, a semi-structured interview was carried out to cross-validate the information gathered from the written samples. The semi-structured interview included questions about the students' observations and experiences using the instrument. The researchers suggested using QuillBot in a writing class to help students master writing and paraphrasing techniques in light of the findings. The results of the present research into the AI-mediated tool QuillBot may have ramifications for addressing other EFL teaching and learning issues.

Management of enteral/parenteral therapy in patients with obesity in the light of exosomes/microRNAs: a systematic review
Authors: Mateus Lara Suellen Marinho São , Santos Barbara Ferreira dos , Rissi Giovana Pissinin
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Alteration in the homeostasis of the intestinal microbiota is related to the prevalence of obesity, which could reach up to 57.8% of the adult world population by 2030. Likewise, the global incidence rate of type 2 diabetes, which represents 90-95 % of all diabetes cases. Extracellular vesicles (exosomes and microRNAs) have emerged as main vehicles for intercellular and intermolecular communication, including those established between the intestinal microbiota and mammals. Providing adequate nutritional therapy with essential nutrients can help mitigate the consequences of the catabolic response. Objective: It was to bring together the main considerations of enteral/parenteral nutritional therapy in patients with obesity, highlighting the management of inflammatory and metabolic processes through exosomes and microRNAs. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from August to October 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 118 articles were found. A total of 44 articles were evaluated in full and 39 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 12 studies with a high risk of bias and 22 studies that did not meet GRADE. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2 =52.5%>50%. It was concluded that exosomes and miRNAs, through enteral/parenteral nutritional therapy, are involved in the control of weight gain, glucose homeostasis, and lipid metabolism. Some clinical studies have shown that enteral nutritional therapy is effective and safe before bariatric surgery, with ketogenic enteral nutrition leading to better clinical outcomes than hypocaloric enteral nutritional protocols in glycemic and lipid profiles to satisfy better regulation of exosomes. and microRNAs, mainly from the intestinal microbiota, for the control of inflammatory and metabolic processes.

Authors: Fernández-Castillo Antonio , Roldán-Molina Nuria , Vílchez-Fernández Elena V.
Published: January 2024

Background: As in any important exam, selective assessment tests for access to university in Spain are associated with emotional distress, depressive symptoms, and burnout, among other negative aspects in the students who face them. In the present study, we propose to explore the presence of burnout and suicidal ideation in students who take these exams. Methods: For this purpose, we worked with a sample of 872 students aged from 17 to 24 of the last course of high school who were going to take the university access evaluation test in Spain. Of them, 476 (55%) were assessed three months before the test, and 390 (45%) were assessed on the days of the examination. Results: Our results showed significant levels of burnout in these students as well as positive suicidal ideation. Furthermore, higher levels of burnout are associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation in the participants, having found that the students could present suicidal ideation months before taking the test. Conclusions: Our results are novel and highly relevant, bearing in mind that these aspects had not received much attention in our national context, where the selective test is an indispensable requirement for access to university.

Authors: Al-Horr Khalid
Published: January 2024

The current review was based on the significance of Transnational Education (TNE), the role of transnational universities in capacity building and hosting countries, and the innovative aspects in which transnational universities are addressing the needs of the international community. This review was executed using the recent review articles and research publications based on TNE in capacity building. The data was gathered from the last 8 years, from 2016 to 2023, from renowned publishers, including Emerald, Wiley Higher Education Quarterly, Open Journals in Education (OJED), Emerald, Taylor and Francis, Springer, Sage, and MDPI AG. This search was carried out using multiple keywords, including; “Role of Transnational Universities”, “Transnational Higher Education”, “Transnational Education”, “Capacity Building”, “Skills Development”, “Host Countries” and “Hosting Countries”. A standardised approach to data extraction and synthesis was adopted after finalising 16 studies in total. Findings revealed that When universities participate in international education collaborations, they should also evaluate potential partners based on endogenous notions of student happiness, loyalty, and extra-role behaviours. The study explored the impact of TNE on employment prospects and career development, focusing on marketable skills, hard and soft skills, and cross-cultural awareness. Notably, TNE experience positively impacts professional growth and future social mobility. The study highlighted the importance of capacity building, sustainability, infrastructure investment, and culturally appropriate pedagogy in TNE. Challenges include linguistic barriers and differences in teaching cultures during COVID-19.
Spatial economic modelling of greenhouse gas abatement on agricultural land
Authors: Nordin Ida
Published: January 2024

This thesis investigates how agricultural land can be used for cost-effective abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The impacts of spatial relationships and characteristics of land on the costs of producing biofuel for the purpose of emissions abatement, and on global emissions caused by agricultural policies, are evaluated using spatial economic models. The first paper in the thesis examines the cost-effective spatial configuration of production of second-generation biofuel on agricultural land in Sweden. To this end, a spatial economic biofuel localization model is developed. The results show that the localization of the few high-capacity biofuel production facilities is mainly determined by the opportunity costs for feedstock. In the second paper, the focus is on the role of second-generation biofuel for costeffective GHG emissions abatement in the transport sector. The biofuel model is expanded to incorporate transport fuel consumption and GHG emissions. Findings indicate that domestic biofuel is a cost-effective abatement measure, with high potential for reducing overall costs, particularly at low emissions targets. The third paper investigates how the use of abandoned agricultural land affects the role of biofuel as a cost-effective GHG emissions abatement option in the transport sector. Abandoned agricultural land is found to reduce costs of emissions abatement substantially, primarily attributed to carbon sequestration and low feedstock costs. In the fourth paper, the focus is shifted to the agricultural sector. This paper assesses the impact of coupled production subsidies under the EU Common Agricultural Policy on agricultural GHG emissions in the EU and globally, utilizing an agricultural sector model. The removal of the coupled subsidies is found to decrease EU GHG emissions, but there is a 75 per cent global emissions leakage.
On the selection of landfill sites in the conditions of the Jurassic and Paleozoic deposits of the West Siberian oil and gas province

Based on the Jurassic and Paleozoic deposits of the West Siberian oil and gas province grouping using factor analysis techniques, a number of algorithms are proposed to justify the choice of landfill sites for the introduction of new technologies for influencing the bottom-hole formation zone and reservoir to increase the degree of reserves development and the profitability of enterprises. The selection is proposed to be carried out separately within the oil and gas bearing areas, tectonic and stratigraphic elements using a set of parameters reflecting the geological and physical properties of formations and fluids that have a predominant effect on the process of oil recovery. The presented algorithms make it possible to reduce risks when replicating successful innovative technologies while simultaneously expanding the areas of effective application. Keywords: landfill sites; oil production technologies; identification; analogous deposits; degree of reserves development.

Authors:   North-Caucasus Federal University, Stavropol, Russia, Gasumov R. A. , Gasumov E. R. ,   Azerbaijan State Oil Industry University, Baku, Azerbaijan
Published: January 2024

The article considers the main group of reasons for water inflow in gas wells under conditions of abnormally low formation pressures. Approaches are outlined for the conditional allocation of the main stages that the well goes through until it is decommissioned due to complete watering. Two different ways of solving the problem of water inflow limitation in gas wells with a horizontal bore end are examined. The most promising technical and technological solutions for isolating the flooded section of the reservoir are discussed. It is noted that the proposed physicochemical method for limiting water inflow using phase permeability modifiers is more reliable, including when the level of gas water contact increases significantly and there is a high probability of watering the well. To improve formation treatment efficiency and achieve the best performance, mathematical calculations are proposed to determine the minimum installation depth of the modifying screen in the formation, which ensures the achievement of a technical result. The parameters of the modifying composition for preventing water inflow and the procedure for determining the parameters to prevent water inflow in gas wells are given. Some results of applying the technology of water inflow limitation in gas wells with preliminary blocking of the bottomhole formation zone are considered. Keywords: well; watering; pressure; water inflow restriction; modifier; method; composition

The problem considered in the article concerns the oil reserves development complexity from deposits characterized by degraded reservoir porosity and permeability – low permeability and connectivity of reservoirs, high fragmentation, variability, and discontinuity of sand bodies. On the example of one of the facilities with a significant areal distribution, the issue of choosing the development system optimal characteristics based on the production efficiency analysis, as well as the proxy modeling results is studied. As a result, it was found that for the conditions considered, the sealing of the production well grid has a positive effect on the oil extraction process, while maintaining the flooding system rigidity is a prerequisite for maintaining the production efficiency. Optimal for the reserves development of the conditions considered is a system of horizontal producing and directional injection wells. Based on the conclusions made, a technique has been formed for potential sites for the grid compaction, which allows to increase both the degree and the rate of residual reserves productionl. Keywords: low-permeable formations, hard-to-recover reserves, drilling, oil recovery coefficient.

The article summarizes the experience of two groups of deposits in terrigenous reservoirs of Western Siberia flooding. It is shown that in the presence of various kinds of uncertainties, the problems of deposits flooding efficiency increasing can be successfully solved based on a limited amount of information and indirect data. Algorithms are proposed for predicting the maximum values of cross-correlation functions, reducing the degree of uncertainty in flooding success assessing, predicting the maximum optimal monthly fluid production of wells during the deposits development in the natural regime, as well as wells surrounding injection wells to justify the selective and focal flooding organization, transferring idle wells to the producing-well stock, transferring wells from other horizons. The facilities to which the obtained results, algorithms, models and conclusions can be extended with minimal risks are proposed. Keywords: indirect information; flooding; geophysical data; reservoir properties; development efficiency; deposits of Western Siberia.

The article defines the prospects for drilling wells in difficult and extreme mining and geological conditions of the Western part of Turkmenistan. The assessment of the current state of prospecting and exploration works in Western Turkmenistan is given. The main problems that drillers will face when drilling complex deep horizons of the red-colored stratum are considered, and general principles and recommendations for overcoming these problems are provided. The applied technical and technological innovations that meet international standards have ensured the successful completion of a number of deep and ultra-deep wells in the fields of the West Turkmen Depression, but have not completely solved the existing drilling problems. The article also provides a number of recommendations for solving these problems. This work contributes to the beginning of the development of a new geological and technological discipline - reservoir pressure management during drilling, and its introduction into practice, which will serve as technical re–equipment and organizational restructuring of deep drilling on a scientific basis.
