The relevance of the study of the socio-psychological well-being of graduate students (including such an indicator of social well-being as their assessment of the significance of various life fears and threats) is associated with the intensive changes taking place with the Institute of postgraduate studies in connection with the transition to the “economy of knowledge”, as well as with the socio-economic and socio-cultural processes that are transforming Russian society. Objectives. The study of socio-psychological features of life fears of graduate students depending on the influence of socio-demographic, socio-stratification and socio-psychological factors. Methods and selection. The article is based on the materials of an anonymous monitoring questionnaire conducted in 2019 by employees of the Information and analytical center of Russian Academy of education. The study involved students of post-graduate research organizations that train post-graduate students in the field of education Sciences, as well as pedagogical universities in Moscow and the regions of the Russian Federation. Empirical data were processed using mathematical statistics methods (statistical software packages SPSS and StatSoft Statistica). Results. The paper analyzes the influence of socio-demographic, socio-stratification and socio-psychological factors on the assessment of life fears and threats by graduate students. The relationship between the assessment of life fears by postgraduate students and the assessment of their life prospects, material and family status, the level of education of parents, and the presence of emigration plans is shown. The correlation analysis revealed a stable, age-independent structure of fears and threats for graduate students. Conclusions. Graduate students’ assessment of the importance of life fears is determined by the influence of a number of socio-demographic, socio-stratification and socio-psychological factors. The conducted special correlation analysis showed that the basis of the structure of graduate students ‘fears is a complex complex that includes six interrelated “centers”: “risk of losing health”, “economic failure”, “lack of professional prospects”, “lack of social protection”, “unemployment”, “tightening of the regime in the country”.

Objective: to evaluate the system to outline the graduate students from the Post-Graduate Programs of CAPES Medicine III area. Method: it was analyzed the book of indicators and the Document of Area of the Post-Graduate Programs of Surgery, also checking the literature about this issue. Results: there was a paucity of data from most of the programs, as regards to the methods for evaluation of graduate students. The current system lacks a standard and an institutional support to outline the graduate students. In the public system there is a concentration of postgraduate students in Medicine; however, they represent a small part of those Brazilians students who finished their graduation courses in Medicine. In the current context, the quest for the post graduate courses and consequently for a research field or even a teaching career, has been replaced by the private sector jobs and the labor market, both in non-academic assistance activities. Conclusion: it is imperative to establish not only science and technology innovation policies but also educational and health policies acting harmoniously and stimulating the qualification and the teaching career, improving the post-graduate courses. It is necessary to develop a single form under the institutional guidance of CAPES with the conception of a National Program for Graduate Student in order to consolidate guidelines to mapping the graduate students of post-graduate programs in surgery, in our country.

This text deals with the notion formulated by Gaston Bachelard of oneiric childhood, which refers to a permanent childhood that is renewed through active imagination and poetic reverie, promoting an articulation between memory and imagination in our awaken dreams. Aiming to give visibility and more reflection on the bachelardian oneiric childhood, we have investigated the approaches of this phenomenon within works of post-graduate students supervised by Ana Laudelina F. Gomes in the Research Group in which we participate - Mythos-Logos:religion, myth and spirituality. After doing a bibliographical research on thesis, dissertations and papers written by some of the members that are part of the group which works with such a notion, like Badiali (2016), Batista (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), Eustáquio (2015, 2016), Melo (2012) and Gomes (2013b), it was noticed how this theme was recurring in a lot of different works. I perceived that reading these studies has triggered my own oneiric childhood, as it is in a ritual of anthropophagic readings. My infant being was fed by the narratives and images of those childhoods, which further expanded my poetic reveries, experience and reflection on the theme. Therefore, I have decided to present within this article some of the repercussions these readings provoked in me, stems from the collective orientation given by the supervisor Professor and sometimes by an invited person, when all the postgraduate students involved in the research read and make comments on the studies of one another.   Keywords: Childhood; Gaston Bachelard; Oneiric Poetry;  Anthropophagic Readings;

The article addresses pre-retirement adults as a subject of retraining, while giving special consideration to the correlation between psychological wellbeing and successful education, as well as to the importance of psychological treatment for overcoming challenges at this stage of life. Purpose of our study is to find the prohibitory and contributory factors of pre-retirement professional retraining. Increased retirement age and, as a result, extended work life have become a burning question in Russian society. New pre-retirement adults are facing new challenges – they have to make choices to determine their future career. At the same time, occurring limitations (age, personality, experience, etc.) are causing risks and difficulties in further training. Crucial component of successful acquisition of new information, completion of professional retraining programs and subsequent employment is psychological well-being. National government has developed, implemented, and funded retraining programs. According to the Russian Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, 2019 exceeded the target for fulfilling retraining contracts. However, the statistics does not state if people are actually content with their retraining. Apart from age, there are other factors that can influence education efficiency. Pre-retirement is an important life stage having an array of aspects to be considered in work with this group as they can affect one's mental health. The study results might be used by specialists of employment centers, professional retraining educators, and pre-retirement psychologists.

The study assessed the influence of Responsive disorder on the academic performance of married post-graduate students in North Eastern Universities in Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated in harmony with the objectives of the study. The design of this study is survey. The population of the study consist of 22,772 married post-graduate students from 4 Universities in North-east, Nigeria. The sample size for the study was 422 determined using the Proportionate sampling strategy employed at different levels in selection of postgraduate students from the four Universities and along gender lines. The researcher developed two instruments for data collection for the study titled: Students’ Responsive disorder Inventory and Research and Statistics Achievement Test. The reliabilities of the instruments yielded 0.84 and 0.87 reliability coefficients of internal consistency for SRDI and RSAT respectively. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data related to the research questions. Linear regression statistic was used to test the formulated null hypotheses. It was found that postgraduate students face Responsive disorder even with an above average level academic performance. However, Responsive disorder significantly influenced academic achievement of postgraduate students who are married in Universities in North-east Nigeria. Also, Responsive disorder significantly predicts academic achievement of postgraduate students irrespective of gender. The study concludes that there is relatively high level agreement among postgraduate students in the North-east states with respect to the Responsive disorder faced by them. The finding debunks traditional beliefs that married people are more likely to perform poorly or even drop-out. This study found support for the position that married people may beat the single and even complete their studies before the singles. The study recommends among others that; coping strategies be evolved to help resolve the debacle; Scholarships should be awarded to students to reduce the financial burden, and, efforts should be invested in promoting emotional health among post-graduate students in order to mellow the negative effect on their academic performance.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the level of legal functional literacy of population in issues of implementation of rights of the minors in the area of health protection. The results of sociological survey permitted to conclude that the degree of legal awareness of population at the level of administrative municipal formation of the subject of the Russian Federation in issues of legal status of the minors is inadequate. Such stratification characteristics of citizen as family status, social status, level of material well-being came as predictors conditioning existing situation. The established predictors of legal awareness of citizen such as social status, family status, level of material well-being, permitted to establish a particular category of population - a target risk group untenable within the framework of implementation of rights of the minors, including health protection due to inadequate level of legal competence. The determinants presented in the established cluster of population are relatively manageable and they can be compensated by rationale and efficient policy of the state authorities and health care system in issues of increasing level of life and legal education of population including the field of health protection.

Presented is the paradigm of professional and linguistic competencies of postgraduate students of a Russian humanities university. The author proves the importance of a competency-based approach in teaching foreign languages to assist post-graduates in their successful adaptation to persistently changing conditions in the labour market. The research substantiates the necessity of shaping a secondary linguistic personality in post-graduate students capable of successful intercultural communication. The article analyzes various interpretations of “competence”, as a notion, postulates the communicative approach in learning foreign languages based on the psycholinguistic aspect. The author suggests new methods of assessment of the linguistic competence maturity in post-graduates at various levels of education.
