Background. In the context of the worldview transformations that our dynamic time is so rich in, questions of the value and sense preferences of a person become especially relevant. These issues are especially significant in the youthful period. The awareness of young people of their value and sense preferences allows them to build their own path of behavior. Aim: The article aims to study value and sense preferences in adolescence (for example, in university students). Materials and methods. The study involved first to five-year students of Chelyabinsk State University, South Ural State Medical University and South Ural State Humanitarian and Pedagogical University aged 17–22 (n = 100, 60 females and 40 males). The followingpsychodiagnostic methods were used: the test of meaning-life orientations (MLO) by D.A. Leontiev; the Value Orientations method by M. Rokich. To check the significance of differences, the Student t-test for independent samples, the Pearson Chi-square test and the r-Spearman correlation coefficient were calculated using the IBM SPSS STATISTICS v.23 statistical software package. Results. It was found that the indicators of MLO in first-year students are slightly higher than in fourth or fifth-year students, while the rates for females are higher than for males. The predominant interest is in the values of personal life and individualistic values, while abstract and conformist values are not particularly significant for males and females in these samples. Conclusion. The data obtained allow to judge about various value and sense preferences in the youthful period. Value and sense preferences are determined by honesty and courage in persisting in one’s opinion, determining the purpose of life, understanding personal responsibility for one’s life and its results.

The Relationship

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the self-efficacy of pre-primary teachers for musical aptitude, such as pitch and rhythm, and to examine whether there is a significant change in self-efficacy through individual practice and instruction of Chorubungen exercises for eight weeks. Another purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between the musical experience and musicality of pre-service teachers, and their musical experience and achievement. To this end, a survey was conducted at the end of the semester for first-year students (56 males, 84 females) of a University of Education after regular individual practice in and guidance for eight weeks in the second semester of 2020. According to the results of the analysis, the positive self-efficacy of the pre-service teachers for pitch and rhythm before class participation was about 22.1% and 34.3% of the respondents, respectively, but after participating in the class, self-efficacy increased to 82.1% for pitch and 72.9% for rhythm. In comparison with the lower five variables, namely whether they learned an instrument among musical experiences (t-test) and the degree of singing (F test), pitch sensitivity (t=2.41, p<.05), rhythm sensitivity (t =1.98, p<.05), tempo sensitivity (t=2.79, p<.01), major scale, and major harmony pattern sensitivity (t=2.67, p<.01), all showed significant differences. In comparison to the achievement groups (chi-square test), differences between the achievement groups were measured based on whether they previously had experienced musical instruments (χ2=10.11, p<.01) and whether they had been active in a club (χ2=8.70, p<.05).

Objective: this quantitative descriptive study aimed to evaluate the presence of deleterious oral habits and associated factors in children attending the Amadeu Barros Leal day care in Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. Material and Methods: the sample consisted of 75 children (51% of girls) aged 0 to 5 years. Data were collected through the application of a structured questionnaire to the parents or guardians and analyzed statistically with Fisher’s exact or Chi-square test, considering a 95% confidence interval. The results were expressed as absolute frequency and percentage. Results: 89% of the children participating in the study were breastfed, and 43.5% of them were breastfed at least until the first year of age. As much as 19% of the children slept with their mouths open and 39% used a pacifier, 56.7% of which used it constantly during the day and at night. About 91% of children used a feeding bottle, and most of bottles (79%) did not have an orthodontic nipple. In addition, 60% of children aged 24-36 months had the deleterious habit of grinding their teeth. Conclusion: in the present study, we investigated children from 0 to 5 years old and observed that this age group is predisposed to deleterious oral habits. In this way, more studies that trace a safe epidemiological profile aiming to reduce these harmful habits are extremely necessary.
